Chapter Index

    Crunch crunch.

    Crunch crunch.

    “You eat so well, and then you just told me to eat pork?”

    He points with a spoon at Seo Ye-rin and Yoo Ah-rin, who are sitting in front of him and eating stir-fried pork in a combative manner.

    Choi Yi-seo, sitting next to me, just smiled and passed it by without saying anything.

    “Hey, is this house good? It’s really amazing?”

    “This is your first time here, Arin. We used to come here often.”

    In the second semester of the first year.

    Back when things were still awkward, Kim Woo-jin, Seo Ye-rin, and Choi Yi-seo would eat together.

    The person who won rock-paper-scissors back then decided the menu, which has now become a memory.

    “At that time, I never imagined that our relationship would become like this.”

    As Kim Woo-jin blankly smiles while reminiscing about that day, Yoo Ah-rin glances at him from the other side and clicks her tongue.

    “You’ve been teased by all the women, so why are you laughing about something so good?”

    “You… … .”

    You’re poking me in the eye.

    “I’m moving to Gugeoduri, hihihihijahohahiha.”

    “Yerin, chew everything and speak.”

    Seo Ye-rin chewed and swallowed it thoroughly.

    After drinking the water that Choi Yi-seo gave him, he shouted again.

    “They’re weird, it’s not Ujini’s fault!”

    “Yerin-!”

    With a moved expression, Yua Rin also scratches her cheek and speaks honestly.

    “But I also think it’s strange. No matter what, I feel a little bad that I don’t even look like a man.”

    “Arin-!”

    The eyes of three people gather.

    Everyone is looking at Choi Yi-seo, and their eyes are asking if she has anything to say.

    Choi Yi-seo, who had been eating with her mouth shut, sighed and maintained a neutral attitude.

    “Everyone has their own tastes. Don’t be too hard on them.”

    You could say that he couldn’t read the mood, but from Choi Yi-seo’s perspective, he couldn’t just curse at her.

    Because it was his own fault that the Chungsimdae dance and girls didn’t pay any attention to Woojin Kim.

    “Or did you have any taste for those women?”

    So, Choi Yi-seo naturally turned the flow in the other direction.

    “Huh?”

    “Interesting?!”

    When Yoo Ah-rin and Seo Ye-rin immediately switched targets, Kim Woo-jin quickly denied it.

    “No?! Not at all! Even if five of them fuse together, they can’t beat one of you?!”

    This was the truth.

    Kim Woo-jin really didn’t care about anyone.

    However, it only hurts my pride.

    “But it’s kind of hurtful to think that I don’t even look like a man. Even if you don’t care, I feel like my masculinity is being denied.”

    “That makes me feel bad too!”

    Seo Ye-rin raises her hand and expresses strong sympathy.

    “How strong is Woojini’s Woojini!”

    “Hmm, and my male hormone levels also came out really high.”

    He claps his hands, saying that he forgot what he said.

    “Ah! I should have said that! If I had told you that my testosterone levels were really high, you would have seen it differently!”

    “Yeah, you must have seen it differently. You must have thought I was crazy.”

    “I’m so glad I remembered it now.”

    Yoo Ah-rin and Choi Yi-seo sigh in relief, but Seo Ye-rin links arms.

    “Hmm? Maybe your male hormone levels are different now. Shouldn’t you check it out?”

    “I’ll get you a hotel.”

    “Catch it, grab it. Get it closer.”

    Kim Woo-jin was trying to take out his cell phone, but Choi Yi-seo put it back in by gently pressing it with her palm.

    “Did you forget that you’re busy tomorrow?”

    “Oh, right. I’m busy getting ready for work. I need to get a suit made.”

    “Did you say you’re going to work tomorrow? Space Global?”

    “This is the moment when Woojini takes his first step as the eldest!”

    Everyone keeps their mouths shut and looks towards Seo Ye-rin.

    “Why. What are you talking about!”

    Seo Ye-rin made a gesture of clenching her fist and rushing in. It seemed like she was a bit embarrassed this time.

    “Anyway, I think tomorrow will be a bit busy.”

    “Can’t we just go and buy it together?”

    When Yoo Ah-rin tilted her head in confusion, Kim Woo-jin pointed at Choi Yi-seo.

    “Lee Seo said she would go with me and help me adjust it.”

    “What is it? Why are you discriminating?”

    “Shoo, shoosh! shoosh! Hey, yabalum! shoosh! ”

    Those guys who keep muttering that they won’t take me.

    But can’t we help it?

    “You said Sunday is your regular shooting day. You also have a content meeting scheduled.”

    “What, how did you know?”

    “And Seo Ye-rin. Are you also reading the script? That’s why you have to go.”

    “… … That’s right.”

    “In the end, since there’s nothing that only Seo-i can do, we go together. Seo-i is also very good at that kind of thing. And she’s also free.”

    “Why did you tell me twice that you have free time and make me feel like a bum?”

    Choi Yi-seo glares at Kim Woo-jin while pulling his cheek.

    Anyway, I knew that Kim Woojin didn’t ask me to do it because he knew the other two people’s schedules well.

    “Ha, you little shit.”

    “Woojini is too interested in me.”

    Neither of them seemed to be in a bad mood.

    “Take a picture of yourself wearing Kim Woojin’s suit tomorrow and send it to me, Choi Yiseo.”

    “Me too, me too!”

    “Okay, I got it. I’ll post it in the group chat.”

    * * *

    The next day.

    “I told you to upload it for nothing.”

    Choi Yi-seo complained of fatigue while holding her cell phone that was constantly ringing.

    – Yoo Ah-rin: Don’t you think the colors don’t match? How about something a little brighter?

    – Seo Ye-rin: If you don’t send me a picture of yourself wearing only a white shirt, unbuttoned, and with a tie in your mouth, I’m going to come find you right now and tell you all sorts of things.

    – Choi Yi-seo: Take it easy.

    – Seo Ye-rin: (˃̣̣̣̣︿˂̣̣̣̣ )

    – Seo Ye-rin: Jebaryuㅠㅠ

    I saw Seo Ye-rin sending a crying emoticon and tried to take the picture she wanted.

    But Choi Yi-seo dissuaded him.

    “Stay still. I’m not going to take pictures anyway.”

    “But the child wants it so badly… … .”

    “You’re too much with the kids. You need to be more moderate.”

    As expected, Choi Yi-seo is Kim Woo-jin’s only conscience and restraint.

    Whenever emotions and impulses push me, it is always Seo who blocks them and keeps me centered.

    – Yoo Ah-rin: But wouldn’t something a little flashy suit him? That kid is a conglomerate after all.

    – Seo Ye-rin: Yeah, yeah, it’s so dull!

    – Choi Yi-seo: It’s true that it’s dull.

    – Choi Yi-seo: Because I don’t want to stand out.

    – Choi Yi-seo: Woo-jin is going by parachute right now.

    “This is it… … .”

    “That’s not wrong.”

    That’s right.

    – Choi Yi-seo: But if he wears a suit that stands out, people will look at him much more negatively.

    – Choi Yi-seo: It should be as calming as possible, so that it can blend in naturally as part of the group.

    What we need now is to get involved with them.

    Choi Yi-seo made that decision and intentionally chose a calm, navy blue color scheme.

    – Seo Ye-rin: Okay, okay!

    – Seo Ye-rin: Arin, don’t look at the forest, look at the trees!

    – Seo Ye-rin: ദ്ദിㆆ_ㆆ)

    – Yoo Ah-rin: oh

    – Seo Ye-rin: (˃̣̣̣̣︿˂̣̣̣̣ )

    The emoticon is cute.

    – Yoo Ah-rin: But if you go, won’t everyone recognize that you’re Kim Woo-jin? The chairman’s son?

    – Seo Ye-rin: That’s what I’m saying!

    – Yoo Ah-rin: What did she eat wrong today?

    – Seo Ye-rin: Σ(°ロ°)

    – Choi Yi-seo: I don’t know it’s Woo-jin right now.

    I know you haven’t told me about me yet.

    It’s just a parachute that falls from above.

    Time will tell who I am, though.

    – Kim Woo-jin: In the first place, is there really a need for ordinary office workers to know the face of the chairman’s youngest son?

    – Kim Woo-jin: It’s not the Communist Party.

    “I don’t know about that.”

    Choi Yi-seo speaks with meaningful words.

    When I heard that, I suddenly started to feel worried.

    If I think about it, I wonder if I can adapt to a place that is extremely difficult to get into with a Hyundai University diploma.

    Will I be able to blend in naturally with those people?

    There won’t be any.

    “Hey, let’s change suits.”

    With that answer out of the way, I decided to take a slightly different approach.

    * * *

    “Haa, what is this!”

    Oh Dae-ri, the head of the digital marketing team at Woozoo Global, was angry as soon as he arrived at work on Monday morning.

    “You didn’t listen to my request to increase the number of people, and now you’re just sending one part-timer?!”

    It is marketing, not products, that creates brand value.

    However, the space group was conservative as it was called a giant in South Korea.

    I wasn’t the type to put much passion or effort into digital marketing.

    Even if we don’t do it, you all know us.

    A name that doesn’t call customers, but makes them come to you.

    Arrogance befitting his size.

    That’s why people in the digital marketing field tend to be those with relatively low experience or those who were pushed out of internal factions.

    “Oh, Agent, don’t get excited in the morning.”

    “Aren’t you angry, Team Leader? Are we some kind of waste? Next time you ask for more staff, you’ll say you gave us this, right?”

    “There are many places that lack people besides us.”

    “Oh, really? What is this? Other marketing teams usually have ten people. But we only have four at most.”

    Team leader, Manager Yoon.

    Manager Choi flew in from the sales department.

    Mr. Oh, full of anger.

    The only female third-year manager, Manager Jeong.

    Mr. Kim, who has been with us for a year now.

    “Haa, Kim Moon-ho. Do you think this is right?”

    “No! That’s not true!”

    “Right? You worked hard since you were an intern to get into this company, so wouldn’t it feel bad if a non-regular worker suddenly became a regular worker?”

    “Yes, that’s right!”

    When Manager Oh started to get irritated, Manager Choi, who had kept his mouth shut until then, spoke up.

    “There hasn’t even been any talk of me becoming a full-time employee yet.”

    “Manager Choi, you can tell at a glance that he was put in by the higher-ups, but you want him to be a non-regular worker? Look, he’ll be wearing his employee ID around his neck before you know it!”

    No one specifically denied it.

    “When I asked the HR team, they said they didn’t receive anything properly. What kind of tightrope walk is this?”

    The people here have been involved in office politics several times, so they know that whatever happens is not strange.

    “How about just pretending it doesn’t exist and ignoring it?”

    The only woman, Manager Jeong So-yu, said playfully.

    But surprisingly, it seems like it’s going down quite well.

    “Okay, let’s do that. Don’t do anything weird. Let’s not get involved.”

    “Don’t make me do anything.”

    “Hey, how about making some coffee?”

    There’s talk about this and that.

    Everyone’s eyes were focused on Manager Yoon.

    In the end, it’s something that Team Leader Yoon has to give permission for.

    He sighed deeply and scratched his head.

    “No matter what you ask, there’s a high chance you won’t be able to do it properly.”

    I don’t know which line it came from though.

    Manager Yoon decided to somehow pretend not to know and let the matter slide.

    If it’s a parachute, it’s just a passing wave anyway.

    If you work hard now, you will naturally go to a higher place.

    And then.

    Rattling.

    “Hello, Digital Marketing Team.”

    The door opened and what came inside was surprising.

    It was a young man wearing a red suit that was very eye-catching.

    He exudes a strong presence as if he is telling everyone to look at him.

    Kim Woo-jin, who had taken a position that could be seen as taking the initiative, confidently bowed and introduced himself.

    “My name is Kim Woojin and I will be joining you from today. I don’t know if anyone knows, but I am the youngest son of Chairman Kim of Woojoo Group.”

    “… … ?!”

    “Yes?”

    “Hoe, the chairman’s son… right?”

    Everyone looks at Kim Woo-jin with a bewildered expression.

    I’ve seen parachutes several times.

    This is the first time I’ve seen such a dignified parachute.

    “Yes, I am the chairman’s son.”

    Be confident.

    Even if you’re confident, you’re filthy confident.

    “Let me tell you in advance that I will try not to cause any harm to you and will act as if I am dead.”

    What the heck is this kid?

    A question that crosses everyone’s mind.

    “There is only one thing I wish for.”

    Figure it out.

    neatly.

    well.

    “Just ignore it while keeping an eye on it.”

    Just ignore it and be careful.

    I was like, what the heck is this?

    Even if you speak rudely, an office worker understands everything perfectly.

    In a word, now.

    One of the owners of the Space Group.

    I won’t do anything, and I don’t intend to cause any harm.

    It was a declaration that they should each do their own thing without harming each other.

    “Then please take care of it.”

    Kim Woo-jin bows his head.

    Looking at him, the digital marketing team members thought:

    ‘parachute?’

    no.

    The missile fell.
