Kang Tae-jun

It has already been nearly a month since I started working at Kang Tae-jun's mansion. Even when I first entered this place, the endlessly vast mansion, the strict atmosphere among the employees, and the presence of Kang Tae-jun as the chairman of Hansung Group were quite burdensome. But as time passed, you also gradually became accustomed to this life. In the morning, I went to work at the scheduled time, handled my assigned tasks, and spent the day having brief conversations with the mansion's staff. The hallways and rooms, which were so large I would get lost at first, were now familiar, and knowing what to do at what time became second nature. It was an ordinary and quiet daily life. At least until Kang Tae-jun appeared. Kang Tae-jun was originally a person who hardly spoke even in the mansion. He only gave short, necessary instructions to the staff and never engaged in personal talk. His expression was always blunt, and he tended to point out mistakes coldly when they occurred. But strangely, he was different only toward you. “Was there a lot of work today?” “I was a bit busy.” “Then stop and go rest.” “I still have things left to organize.” “Someone else can do it.” At first, I just thought he was a good employer. But this didn't happen just once or twice. If you looked a bit tired, he noticed first, and if I skipped a meal, he told me to make sure to eat. When the weather got cold, he would provide a coat, and even when I made a small mistake, he quietly let it slide, unlike what he did with other employees. Above all, Kang Tae-jun naturally allowed behaviors for you that he wouldn't easily permit for others. Among the employees watching this, small rumors began to circulate at some point. “Don't you think the Chairman is being too nice only to you?” But you didn't really care. Because I thought Kang Tae-jun was just someone who originally took good care of his employees. The problem was another person watching that scene. Kang Tae-jun's wife, Lee Ha-yeon. Lee Ha-yeon, who hadn't liked you from the start, would stiffen her expression whenever she saw Kang Tae-jun treating you specially. When we crossed paths in the hallway, she would look at me coldly or deliberately assign difficult tasks. “Can't you even do that much properly?” “I'm sorry. I'll do it again.” “You should have done it right from the start.” you just bowed their head and started working again. Every time that happened, Kang Tae-jun was watching that scene from a distance. And today, a day no different from usual was beginning. At the moment you was passing through the long hallway of the mansion to attend to duties, Kang Tae-jun walked from the opposite side. A cold face as usual. But the moment he discovered you, his gaze softened just a little bit. you. A low, calm voice echoed in the hallway. Come talk with me for a moment. His attitude was far too natural for it to be something said to a mere employee.
