YOU ARE SO DEAD.
I hope you slept well yesterday because I’m afraid you’ll have to sleep with your eyes open tonight. I am going to haunt you in your sleep. There is a storm coming for you. Prepare yourself.
Sincerely,
Juhyun
P.S. will there ever be a day when you listen to me???

YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!
God save us all, I think this will definitely work. I hope this guy knows which buttons to push to get on Juhyun’s nerves. I am so tired of seeing her buried in a pile of work because I know she is doing it on purpose.
And how the hell did you find him anyway???

DAMN.
Where the hell did you even find that man? I swear I’m gonna bring popcorn here every day because he looks like he can drag Juhyun’s workaholic ass out of her damn office.
Or at least, away from her laptop’s screen for starters.
And it’s happening.

Whew, I wish you could see them.
Well done you!!! I really have a nice view as a bonus.

And that was NOT the way you talk to someone who helped you to ease your burden. A little gratitude would be nice.
Besides, you said it yourself that the workload was getting a bit too much. I’m just simply getting the help you needed.

Mr. Kim,
I was wondering how you are faring on your first day here in La Rouge. I hope you have an enjoyable time.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me or Miss. Juhyun if you need anything.
Best regards,
Kim Yerim.
To: Oh Sehun
From: Kim Yerim
Subject: I did not see that coming
My goodness.
Just what the hell happened at the wedding?
I felt a bit left out, like there is something that you failed to mention to me.
I was a bit shocked when you offered to post Junmyeon here in La Rouge. Isn’t he quite a remarkable asset in Exploration? I would greatly appreciate if you can squeeze out few more details from your boss.
Anyway, my point is, I thought it’s going to take a while for Juhyun to set her eyes on him since staring at her email is the only thing she is good at but holy smokes she already freaked out the moment I deliver Junmyeon to her quarters!!!
Plus, she called Junmyeon a distraction.
Something happened right??? PLEASE TELL ME or I will hunt you down myself.
Best regards,
Kim Yerim.

Miss Bae,
Hereby I enclosed a copy of the weekly report for the first week of December. I would greatly appreciate your feedback.
I hope you don’t mind me intruding, but I’ve noticed you rubbed your temple so much today. Do you perhaps have a headache? You seem troubled. I’d like to know what ails you so that I can offer you my help.
Or, perhaps I can make you a cup of chamomile tea to help soothe your nerves? I can also make a call to the IT department since I also noticed you smashing your keyboard the entire morning. If it is a computer problem that has been bothering you, then I think a call to the IT department would be the best solution. Please do tell me if it’s necessary and I will make the call for you.
I would appreciate if you’re also willing to share the work with me more. I’m here to help you after all.
Sincerely,
Kim Junmyeon.
To: Park Chanyeol
From: Son Seungwan
Subject: Thank you letter?
I never thought you getting involved in my employee’s love-life would be the best thing that has ever happened in this company. There had been an invisible commotion, I’d call it. If what you told me a week ago is true, then I am glad that you decided to step in.
I regret that I didn’t see it happened with my own eyes since I had to engage with the other guests but I have to admit that Juhyun has been restless ever since the wedding. She drowned herself in work as if she is trying to distract herself. I really hope this decision of yours will bring good terms on both ends. It does not look easy on Juhyun at the moment but I am sure she can handle herself.
All the best of luck,
Wendy Son.
P.S. What shall we have for dinner? I fear I have no recollection of what’s left in the fridge.

The report is very well done. Thank you so much.
Thank you for your concern. Chamomile tea is a good idea, I shall fetch it myself. And no, it is not a computer problem so the call to IT won’t be necessary.

La Rouge is recently merged with Exploration and they need some help with their PR team. Of course you are the best we have so I, by Chanyeol’s order, sent you down. I’m just simply doing my job.

Tell me, will you be surprised if I tell you that this is actually my doing? And I managed to get Chanyeol to go along.
You don’t need me to let you know what happened at the wedding. Come on now Yerim, I know you are not as innocent as you think you are. Junmyeon and Juhyun are both single and attractive. What do you think happened?
Best wishes,
Oh Sehun.
P.S. Stop saying you’ll hunt me down. I already have one on my arse and I’m sure you do too.

Subject: Breaking News
Why the fuck didn’t you replied to me? Don’t you see that I am currently having an existential crisis? I hope you are not conspiring behind my back along with Yerim and Sooyoung.
I have something to tell you. Ugh, I’ve been bottling this up ever since the wedding and I AM SICK OF IT.
Remember the guy I told you about? Yes, the one with the sparkling eyes and beaming cheeks.
Surprise surprise, the guy is Junmyeon, bitch!
Now where to begin… You know I’m telling you this because Sooyoung is into my arse and it’s only a matter of time before everything is out in the open. Yerim is a terrifying one for sure and I will not talk to Wendy because God knows what part she has in this.
I AM SO SCREWED!!!!
So we obviously met at the wedding. He was seated at the back!!! Can you believe it? A super attractive man was seated at the back. And then there is this guy, I don’t know, probably Chanyeol’s colleague, came up to him (or us) and said “How long have you two been together?”
I was dumbstruck, man. Then I looked at Junmyeon, he mumbled something like “just smile and nod” and then he said, “Oh, we’ve been together for six years!”
Suddenly we are playing a ridiculous game of this guy/girl I don’t know and just met at this wedding is actually my long-time partner.
When the guy finally wander away, he turned to me that he said he is sorry for all that and that I had to be involved in it but he is also glad that I took the hint and started to play along. Then I asked him why was he seated at the back and he said he is single. So I said I am single too and we get along and we left the ballroom and went to the hotel’s rooftop bar. He was really kind and humble and cute with all his little smiles. I haven’t met a lot of kind men since my exes are all jerks. But enter: Kim Junmyeon. I’m just—I don’t even know anymore.
The wedding was in a hotel, so I’m guessing you can guess what happened next.
Now, I usually don’t expect to see the person after all that. It was a one-time thing and we left and put this behind us and whatever. But then Yerim, that demon child, came here and said there is a new guy that will work with me from now on and,
Breaking news: sexy man becomes sexier!!!!
I feel like a complete idiot when I saw him standing there. He had better control over his facial expression though but you know I don’t.
I feel like Yerim is doing this on purpose to distract me from work but she brought me the actual person that has been bothering me for the past days!!! I’m going to murder her for real.
Now, Sooyoung is catching up too.
What do I do? I might cry.
PLS REPLY!!!!
Juhyun.

Subject: I have failed you, my Queen
*sigh*
I genuinely thought I did something here. When I looked at Mr. Kim’s profile, I thought he’d be a good distraction for Juhyun to stop burying herself in piles of works after whatever happened at the wedding (and my dear boss, we really need to talk about this).
Turns out, he is the one who made Juhyun distracted.
Was that why Juhyun gaped like an idiot when she saw Junmyeon and why Junmyeon was a bit tense?
God damn!!!
(Sorry).
I have been bested by Exploration’s HR team. I believe Mr. Park is also involved (as I said, we REALLY need to talk).
I assume that if you let this continue, it is the best for both ends?
Best,
Yerim.
P.S. I am still thankful that you let me have my moment, even if it’s just for a while.

WELL DONE, YOU BRAT.
Wendy just emailed me saying she is glad that I am involved. If you didn’t use that ‘eagle eyes’ of yours at the wedding, Junmyeon will probably still be that moody arse. I’m so glad you found the girl. The world is not that big of a place after all. I hope they can settle this once and for all because what I heard from Wendy is that the lady experiencing the same thing but with a different coping mechanism.
Also, I suggest you go home to Minseok’s tonight. He can be the shield between you and a feral Junmyeon.
Well done again.
Chanyeol.

Subject: Re: Re: WHAT THE FUCK???
PLEASE, their PR team knows what they’re doing already. Your plan is flawed because they said I am to be a new member of the team. I am an advisor, remember? They’re supposed to say ‘We need your expertise to provide public relation advice’. Turns out, they don’t need my help. Well except for the fact that the workload is a bit too much on someone.
Be thankful that I play along. At least tell me what your true intentions are.
P.S. Bet Chanyeol warned you not to go home to your place. So Minseok’s it is.

Fuck I totally forgot how scary Junmyeon is when he is angry. He knows I’m going to Minseok’s, I mean what kind of sorcery is that?

Subject: Re: Are you really THE boss in this fucking company?
Come on now.
I strongly believe that Sehun’s intentions are good.
Do you think he is the only one that is sick of your moody arse? Ever since my wedding you’ve been like that. When I learned (from Sehun) that you hook up with someone and I know exactly who the girl is, I can’t help but to agree with Sehun’s plan.
Especially when I learned from Wendy that the lady is apparently behaving the same way, but just less annoying than you.
So, my advice is to settle it once and for all, man.
Good luck,
Chanyeol.
P.S. How the fuck did you know that I told Sehun to go to Minseok’s?
