“Please tell me your next schedule.”

 

Kim Seok-jin, the 34-year-old executive director of Seohwa Group. Seohwa is a group named by his grandfather, meaning 'flower of dawn.' He slowly walked up to each member and sat down in this seat, and people called him 'monopoly' and 'workaholic.'

 

“At 3 o’clock today, there’s a meeting to discuss the details of the exhibition that will be held in two weeks. And at 5 o’clock, there’s a press conference about this rumor.”

A secretary who helps the managing director with his work. Kim Yeo-ju, 32 years old. She has been with Seok for nearly 10 years since he was the head of the headquarters. She knows everything about Seok's personality, habits, and every move. She has been by the dry and dreary managing director's side for 10 years, and she calls him a 'monopoly' and a 'workaholic'. This might be something the two have in common.

“Secretary Kim, what should we have for lunch today?”

 

“The chairman wants to have lunch with the managing director. I’ve made a reservation at a Korean restaurant you often go to, so let’s go.”

 

“Secretary Kim, aren’t you eating?”

 

“Don’t worry about me and just go.”

 

“I know your grandfather, so I’ll just go.”

 

“I appreciate your concern for my lover, but I will decline. The chairman has been saying that he wants to see his grandchild for a few days, but he is very sad that he cannot see her because of his business trip.”

We worked together for 10 years and dated for about 4 years. Oh, we started living together not long ago. The fact that we are dating is unknown to anyone at work, not even the vice president (Seok's father) or the president (Seok's mother), or even Yeo-ju's parents.

 

But just one person
Only Seok's grandfather knows about the relationship

 

“I think Grandpa would like it too..”

 

“Please enjoy your meal together today. We’ll eat together later.”

Seok, who had to hide his emotions and live calculating everything since he was young, was told that he had to inherit the business.
The person who held and hugged this stone was his grandfather.
So how heartbreaking it must be

“Mr. Chairman.”

 

“What about the chairman? When there are two of you, I say grandfather.”

 

“Yes, Grandpa.”

 

“Yeah. You two came together. Why did you come alone?”

 

“He sent it to me so that we could have a nice meal together.”

 

“Really… Secretary Kim is kind and gentle. She’s sincere in everything she does. And she gets along well with our grandson.”

 

 

“Grandpa and grandson really like it too.”

 

“Yeah. If they both like each other, what’s the problem?”

 

“Father and mother..”

 

“Yeah. I guess I’ll just show you the pair I’ve already decided on. I’ll do whatever I can until this old man runs out of strength, so you two should prepare well.”

 

“Thank you. Really.”

 

“Now, let’s eat.”

 

Seok's parents are planning to arrange a marriage between a couple who can help the company. This is usually called a 'marriage of convenience'. It's a pretty common story in this industry. But since he's already seeing someone, why would he do something like that?

 

“Isn’t it hard for the two of you to meet like that?”

 

“Just a little. I guess I’m a bit cautious.. I’m a little scared that if I say something, it might reach my father’s ears.”

 

The first time the two met was as a director and a secretary. It was a pretty ordinary relationship.
But how did they become lovers?

How did the lives of two people who were obsessed with work seep into each other and how did 'you' or 'me' become 'we'?

I'm going to start telling that story now.
