[Showbiz] After I Snooped on My Subordinates' Chat Logs

(A supposedly cold, secretly snarky assistant with two faces, one in public and one in private, and a fussy, arrogant, nitpicking boss whom everyone finds annoying)

Everyone knows that Kwon Jiyong has a close-knit group of employees who are practically like family. His all-purpose assistant, Kwon Okhee, is the best known among them. Together, she and Kwon Jiyong are hailed as “the King and the King's royal seal.”

This woman can handle everything at home, from entertaining guests to cooking, and her professional skills are just as impressive. She's a master of songwriting, choreography, and stage design, and she can sing, dance, and rap without breaking a sweat. When a backup dancer is absent, she can glide onto the stage and hold her own. No matter what happens, she can turn things around. She's undoubtedly the backbone of Kwon Jiyong's team.

Beyond her outstanding abilities, what VIPs appreciate most about Kwon Okhee is her personality. They've never seen anything but a cool expression on her face, and she looks at her favorite star no differently than she would a piece of pork. They find that very reassuring.

Kwon Jiyong once thought his assistant was simply born with little capacity for emotion, a robot that only knew how to work. Then one day, he accidentally came across a secondary account Kwon Okhee had left logged in on her computer.

Curious, Kwon Jiyong opened the chat window where she talked to herself. The moment he clicked on it, a wall of profanity hit him in the face. Looking closer, he realized she was cursing him out.

“Fuck, he made me work until dawn again. Kwon Jiyong, you bastard!”

“He has to call a meeting and ramble on about every tiny little thing. If he loves giving speeches so much, why doesn't he run for president!”

“This isn't good, that isn't good. If I smeared a bucket of shit on your face, would that finally be good enough?”

“He dresses like a sassy old lady every day, and I still have to grit my teeth and write copy about how handsome he is. Can I at least get paid extra for that?”

When Kwon Jiyong learned that Kwon Okhee cursed him behind his back, he was stunned. He wanted to ask himself what he'd ever done wrong by her, but after thinking it over, he realized the answer was: pretty much everything.

With the goal of mending their boss-employee relationship, Kwon Jiyong started checking Kwon Okhee's secondary account every day to see what she was cursing about, then carefully addressing each complaint to make her happy.

Recently, Kwon Okhee noticed that her annoying boss had become much more agreeable. As she grew happier, she gradually stopped cursing in her secondary account and began posting about her everyday life instead.

Sharing what she saw and did on trips, showing off a new fluffy, adorable plushie, making a fuss about a flower thorn pricking her finger, saving the sexy photos she'd finally worked up the courage to take...

As time went by, Kwon Okhee noticed that her boss seemed to be looking at her differently.

Kwon Jiyong was so dazzled by his assistant's two sides, one in public and one in private, that he finally couldn't hold back and confessed his feelings to her.

“Okhee, I like you. Go out with me.”

Kwon Jiyong's confession was met with the first horrified, crumpled expression of Kwon Okhee's life, a fleeing figure disappearing into the distance, and a hastily written resignation letter.
