"UUUGGHHHH!!" I slam my head on my desk in frustration. I had envisioned a job where I would be working with engines and repairing tires, but so far, all I've been doing is filling out paperwork for car registrations. The monotony of the tasks is starting to wear me down. Just when I'm about to give up, one of my co-workers, Jacob Cho, pops his head over his desk and asks if I'm alright.192Please respect copyright.PENANApytIOtuTQT
I flinch and look up at Jacob, or "Hyung" as I affectionately call him. We've known each other since high school, and he's always been a supportive presence in my life. In fact, I owe it to him for even getting this job in the first place. I smile weakly and reply, "Yeah, I'm okay, Hyung. Just drowning in work, you know?"192Please respect copyright.PENANAz2LmDBHgRo
Jacob sighs empathetically and nods. "Sadly, I do know. But hey, at least this job pays well, right?" He offers me a small glimmer of hope, reminding me of the silver lining amidst the tedious paperwork.192Please respect copyright.PENANAiKCqOKiKxI
Just then, my boss and soon-to-be husband, Kim Park, barges into the room, storming in through the elevator with an air of authority. His intense gaze falls on me, and he demands my immediate attention. "You're coming with me," he coldly glances at Jacob, "now." Sensing the tension, Jacob discreetly retreats back to his own desk, not wanting to interfere.192Please respect copyright.PENANAeiA5cAC9lj
Kim grabs my arm and pulls me into a nearby corner, away from prying eyes. His cold tone sends shivers down my spine as he interrogates me about the man I was just speaking with. Confusion fills my mind as I try to comprehend why he is so bothered by my interaction with Jacob, whom I've known since high school.192Please respect copyright.PENANAbBdoSbDrWb
"Huh? Oh, you mean Hyung?" I stammer, my thoughts stumbling over one another. "We went to high school together. He's just-"192Please respect copyright.PENANAJvHzUH0EgM
Without warning, Kim's anger escalates, and he grasps my shirt, his lips forcefully colliding with mine. Shock consumes me as I pull away, my mind struggling to process what just happened. I stammer, trying to find my voice amid the whirlwind of emotions. "I-I... y-y-you...". My face flushes red, a mixture of embarrassment, confusion, and fear swirling within me. 192Please respect copyright.PENANA20h6yGBaUh
Kim interrupts my faltering words, his voice laced with dominance and finality. "Your time is up," he growls. "You are marrying me, and that's the final answer." With that, he turns around and leaves, leaving me standing there, speechless and filled with an overwhelming sense of dread.192Please respect copyright.PENANAacXYOU4VGF
As I try to gather my thoughts, I can't help but wonder how I ended up in this complicated situation. The dream of working with engines and fixing tires feels like a distant memory, overshadowed by a turbulent relationship and the weight of expectations. I find myself yearning for the familiarity and support of Jacob, who has always been there for me. But with Kim's possessiveness and controlling demeanor, it seems like even reaching out to Jacob for solace may be a challenge in itself.192Please respect copyright.PENANAGQvyLpk6Lo
Caught in this tangled web of professional and personal relationships, I now face an uncertain future. The once-promising job has become a source of turmoil, and my supposed fiancé has revealed a side that I never expected. With each passing day, I find myself questioning if I made the right choices, and if there is a way to regain control of my own destiny. Little did I know that the path to self-discovery and true happiness would be paved with unexpected challenges and difficult decisions.
