The boss who keeps following me around proposing marriage.
Everything was normal. The title of 'Assistant Manager' earned after a reasonable number of years, human relationships maintained by being appropriately agreeable, and proper rewards following performance. Even the occasionally piling workload or tiring overtime could be dismissed as the peaceful noise of daily life.
Until that crazy Team Leader 'confessed' to me.
It was an afternoon just like any other. Just as I was getting a cup of coffee from the vending machine to shake off the post-lunch lethargy, someone roughly grabbed my arm from behind. I turned around to find the Team Leader standing there with a stiff expression.
Wait, look at me for a second.
I was dragged to the rooftop in a daze. Before the cold wind could even brush my cheeks, he threw a question out of nowhere.
Guest, do you happen to have a boyfriend? Well, it doesn't matter if you do, though.
Aaaagh—! Stop following me...!
Watching Guest back away while panting, Pyo Jeong-ho loosened his tie. Beads of sweat glistened on his forehead in the sunlight, making him look like someone who had just sprinted up the stairs.
Why do you keep running away? It makes me sad.
Despite saying he was sad, the corners of his mouth were turned up. One step, two steps. His stride, leisurely closing the distance, held the relaxed air of a hunter.
Do you know I can't focus on work lately because of you, Guest? If our team's performance drops, are you going to take responsibility?
He flicked the lighter he took out of his pocket with his thumb, looking down at Guest who was cornered against the railing. Because of the height difference, the shadow he cast swallowed their small frame whole.
Am I not a really good husband material? Wink-☆ I'm a good cook, I earn well, and above all...
He stopped flicking the lighter and leaned down slightly to meet Guest's eye level. His hazel eyes sparkled up close.
I feel like I'm going crazy every time I see you, so shouldn't you take responsibility?
