2 years and 4 months.
Park Dong-gyu was really sick of photocopying while working as a situation room officer.
As I was exiting the copy room after meticulously copying eight copies, I suddenly shrugged my shoulders as a shout echoed throughout the office.
Someone kept shouting about what was happening in the third sales department, and Park Dong-gyu felt anxious for no reason.
‘What’s going on?’
“Hey, Assistant Manager Kim. “Are you not able to properly train first-time gunners?”
“sorry. Manager.”
“What kind of bastard is making copies for 40 minutes? “Are you crazy?”
“sorry. Manager.”
Manager Lee Jun-hak, who was already so bulky and large that he looked scary at first glance, was yelling at Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo.
Park Dong-gyu automatically started drooling.
‘Is it because of me?’
As he quickly rushed to the third part of sales, Lee Jun-hak’s terrifying gaze fell on Park Dong-gyu.
Separately from that, Kim Cheol-soo came to Park Dong-gyu and took it away as if taking a copy, and quickly checked it.
“Forgive me for being late.”
“Oh really! “You’re not going to leave things like that from now on?”
“sorry. Manager.”
When Park Dong-gyu saw Kim Cheol-soo literally falling to pieces, he felt nauseous, as if the food he had eaten for lunch earlier was coming up.
Especially when Lee Jun-hak glared at him, he just wanted to sit down.
“If you do this one more time, I know we’ll both die.”
Lee Jun-hak returned to his seat with eight copies of the printout, and Kim Cheol-soo sighed deeply and approached Dong-gyu Park.
“Let’s talk for a moment.”
Park Dong-gyu, who followed Kim Cheol-soo as he stiffened and walked out of the office like a cow being led to a slaughterhouse, couldn’t help but recall what Jang Yu-mi had said earlier.
As they left, Shin Kyeong-mi lifted her head and looked at Lee Jun-hak opposite her and said.
“There are three devils in our department. Even Assistant Manager Kim.”
“A devil? The expression is too strong. Manager Shin.”
“That’s how it looks to me. I have no idea how Assistant Manager Kim and Manager Lee are so good at acting. “I could just quit my job and become a movie star.”
Lee Jun-hak giggled at those words.
“I did this at the request of Assistant Manager Kim, not me.”
It wasn’t the face that was staring at someone just a moment ago as if it were going to kill them.
Shin Kyeong-mi saw that expression and shook her head slightly.
‘They are great people. really!’
He is 3 years older than me and is a senior at school.
Although they say that rank comes first in the workplace, Korea is not a society where such basic background can be completely ignored.
As we became closer, personal relationships naturally became more advantageous than positions.
Then, it is only a matter of time before the superior-subordinate relationship becomes a mess.
Kim Cheol-soo has the ability to overcome such things, but for Park Dong-gyu, who knows nothing, it could actually be poison.
**
Kim Cheol-soo came up to the rooftop at the top of the building and spoke to Park Dong-gyu with a stern expression.
“Do you smoke?”
“no. “I hung up.”
Kim Cheol-soo took out an unopened cigarette and a new lighter from his pocket.
“If you pull, I’ll give it to you.”
“it’s okay. “Well, that is…”
“It’s best not to make excuses at work. Here, results are everything.”
Park Dong-gyu tried to explain what happened, but Kim Cheol-soo cut it like a radish.
‘How did you know I would say that…’
At Kim Cheol-soo’s cold words, a drop of sweat rolled down Park Dong-gyu’s forehead.
Kim Cheol-soo offered him a cigarette once more, but Park Dong-gyu shook his head.
“it’s okay.”
“I’m not giving you blood, am I?”
“yes?”
“I really don’t know anything.”
When Kim Cheol-soo offered cigarettes and a lighter again, Park Dong-gyu had no choice but to take them.
“Even if Dong-gyu doesn’t smoke, you have to be ready when your superiors need to smoke.”
“ah? yes.”
Only then did Park Dong-gyu realize why Kim Cheol-soo kept recommending this.
Come to think of it, there was neither a lighter nor a cigarette in my pocket.
“Why did you come to this company as an intern? Want to gain experience? Or are you trying to get a job at this company? Or another reason?”
“I came here to get a job.”
“I guess I need to work harder. It’s a mess. “Can you get a job at this company that way?”
Park Dong-gyu clenched his molars at such a harsh evaluation.
I felt somewhat fortunate to be his second-in-command because I was a junior at school.
I tried to ask questions about this and that while having a drink in the evening, but that thought completely flew out of my head.
“sorry.”
“There is nothing to be sorry about. However, the first impression is very bad. “If I don’t work harder, I’ll be in trouble.”
“sorry.”

When Kim Cheol-soo heard those words, he sighed lightly, leaned on the rooftop railing, and looked down.
“Alumni?”
“yes. “This is the class of ’95.”
“It’s both good and sad that a fellow alumnus is at this company.”
“……..”
“Dong-gyu could end up as an intern. “With a 99% probability.”
In the morning, we talked about the stories of our classmates who were selected as interns in the lobby.
Except for themselves, they were only students from prestigious universities that everyone knew about.
There were some second- and third-year students who were younger than 25 years old.
In terms of age, he was the eldest brother.
“If you’re going to do it half-heartedly, it would be better to give up early and find another way quickly.”
Park Dong-gyu sighed and lowered his head at the all-too-realistic story.
just···.
I thought it would be nice to have a place to go to work every day.
Just hearing the name challenge ignites a fire in my heart…
There must be people who need me somewhere.
Even if I can’t do it right now, I feel like I can do something if I can learn.
It was Park Dong-gyu, whose eyes suddenly turned red.
But I soon composed myself.
What I felt after coming here was that it was definitely a good company, regardless of its reputation.
And it seemed like an opportunity like this would never come again.
“….What should I do?”
Kim Cheol-soo took a close look at Park Dong-gyu.
Still with cold eyes and expression.
“Dong-gyu was later than the other interns in the morning. “Can I hear why you’re late?”
It’s crazy. this person
“Deputy Director Lee Jeong-hoon?”
“yes. “That’s what I heard.”
It’s not the HR team, it’s the management support team.
Kim Cheol-soo tilted his head.
There was a time when Park Jun-hyung called me separately when I joined the company.
Therefore, considering various situations, I thought that Park Dong-gyu would also have some kind of approach.
I thought it might be Park Jun-hyung who is still keeping Ahn Jeong-gyu in check.
“What did you talk about?”
“Well, that’s… “You told me not to tell you…”
As Park Dong-gyu continued to hesitate, Kim Cheol-soo spoke slowly and slowly.
“The intern evaluation is done primarily by me as the supervisor, and the final evaluation is done by the manager. “If you don’t like me, then I won’t be able to give Park Dong-gyu a good grade.”
When Kim Cheol-soo pressed hard, Park Dong-gyu looked embarrassed.
“that is···.”
“All right. “Let’s go down.”
“Now, just a moment.”
However, when Kim Cheol-soo turned around and started walking, Park Dong-gyu followed and shouted.
“You say you like me…”
Kim Cheol-soo’s steps slowed down.
“After the internship is over, come to the management support team…”
Park Dong-gyu said as he approached, and only then did Kim Cheol-soo stop walking and turn around.
“There must have been conditions.”
“Ah yes. “This is a bit strange, though.”
When Kim Cheol-soo glared slightly, Park Dong-gyu opened his mouth in embarrassment.
“Take a look at Assistant Manager Kim’s movements and report back. Since you are an alumnus, you will be able to become friends easily, and we will talk about various things, so listen and let us know as much as possible. “If you do this job well, I will consider hiring you as a full-time employee.”
“Whoa…”
Kim Cheol-su sighed deeply.
‘Deputy Director Lee Jeong-hoon. What is it this time?’
It was a person I didn’t know well, and I couldn’t pinpoint anything about it.
“So what did you answer?”
“that is···.”
“I guess you thought it was a good opportunity?”
“for now···.”
“A deputy shooter who informs the shooter!”
Park Dong-gyu’s face hardened to the point of pity as he looked at Kim Cheol-soo raising his voice with a stiff face.
Because I felt like I said something I shouldn’t have said.
“What should I think of Dong-gyu?”
“sorry. “Mr. Assistant Manager.”
‘This was completely screwed up from the start. ha. Going crazy.’
Park Dong-gyu took a deep sigh and lowered his head.
“You asked me earlier what to do, right? I just need to report diligently to Deputy Director Lee Jeong-hoon. He said he would hire him as a full-time employee there. How about moving the team there at this point? “I will tell the manager separately.”
Kim Cheol-soo turned around and spoke, and Park Dong-gyu grabbed Kim Cheol-soo’s sleeves and clung to him, pretending to kneel down.
“Well, I was wrong, sir. “If you do that, I will definitely not be able to intern and will be kicked out of the company.”
“why? They say they like Dong-gyu there? “He even promised to hire a full-time employee, but are they really going to kick him out?”
Kim Cheol-soo tried to take off his sleeve, but Park Dong-gyu held on tight and let it hang down.
“my. I think I fell into a trap. I really want to work for this company. “Mr. Assistant Manager.”
Seeing such earnest eyes, Kim Cheol-soo sighed deeply as he thought about the past.
A senior alumnus who was hired for similar reasons.
A stupid person who is being used as bait to hire a full-time employee.
As I looked at Park Dong-gyu in front of me, who had never even thought about being used and abandoned, I remembered my past self.
‘How can they be so similar?’
“How long are you going to be like this?”
Park Dong-gyu quickly released his hands and stood up.
“Considering that it’s your first day as an intern, I’ll give you a chance. “Who would you choose between Deputy Director Lee Jeong-hoon and me?”
“of course···.”
“Think carefully before speaking. “Because you will never be able to get it back.”
I had no idea what it meant to be irreversible, but I knew that in this situation, I had to choose Kim Cheol-soo.
“I will choose Assistant Manager Kim.”
“Really?”
“yes. “Mr. Assistant Manager.”
“Follow me.”
