subject: Username Change (?)
from: Kang Yeosang <[email protected]>
to: Choi San <[email protected]>
Hello Mr. Choi,
Is there any way I can change my display name? As you can see, it is not… ideal. I have an important Zoom meeting coming up this Thursday and I’d rather not use this username to join.
Thank you,
Kang Yeosang.

to: Kang Yeosang <[email protected]>
Hey Yeosang,
This is genuinely the funniest email I’ve received all week. Unfortunately, your email username change must be approved by my superior first, and he’s not good at responding. But, since your email brought me such genuine joy for the time this month, I’m going to bend the rules for you a little.
Use this temporary email for now: [email protected]
The password is kangyeosang123. I’ll tell my superior about the change, so expect an email change by next week. Tell me how your meeting goes!
Best,
Choi San.

Hello San,
My meeting went well, no one questioned my temporary email. Thank you for that. By the way, it’s almost the end of the month, how is my email the only thing that brought you joy?
Regards,
Kang Yeosang.

Hey Yeosang,
It seems your email username was finally changed! How does it feel not being Kanye anymore?
Also, can you tell me you’ve felt joy this month?
Best,
Choi San.

from: Kang Yeosang <[email protected]>
to: Choi San <[email protected]>
Hello San,
It feels nice not having to explain to people my username, for some reason a lot of people assume that I chose to have ‘Kanye’ as my email.
You’re right, capitalism has destroyed my sense of joy. What department are you in? I wanted to give you a coffee to thank you for having my email changed so fast.
Regards,
Kang Yeosang.

Hey Yeosang!
It’s the same here with me, a lot of people assume my name is Chosa.
I’m in the HR department, but our offices are being renovated right now to make more room for new employees. I’m stuck home dealing with emails all day so I can’t enjoy what would probably be a very nice thank you coffee.
Best,
Choi San.

Hello San,
It seems this email username system isn’t very effective. Shouldn’t you talk to your boss about that?
I heard that the offices would be up and running by the next two months, so expect a drop in from me. I will get you that coffee.
Regards,
Kang Yeosang.

Hey Yeosang,
My boss isn’t fond of changing things, he quite enjoys the traditional way we do things. Plus, if I tell him then we wouldn’t have the glorious email “[email protected]”. She’s actually quite a nice lady, her name’s Bithiah Ch’len. Honestly don't know why she hasn't emailed me yet haha.
Best,
Choi San.

Oh, poor Bithiah. I’ve contacted her before, she seems sweet.

Hello San,
I heard you have a new boss? Park Jihyo? She seems nice, and definitely ready to change things. Also, the application for a new financial manager seems to have a typo in the fine print. I’ve highlighted it and attached the form below.
How's home life coming along?

Hey Yeosang,
I’ve only talked with her online a few times, but she’s really cool! She agreed that our email username system makes for some unfortunate nicknames, so she’ll be discussing changing the system with Mingi, the IT manager. Thanks for pointing out that error on the form BTW, the form wasn’t up for too long before I changed it on the website.
Home life is tolerable. I can’t wait to get back to the office, I’m too much of a people person for this. At least Byeol has been pretty happy that I’m home. Here is a picture of her I took this morning.

Hello San,
That sounds great! Maybe you’ll be rid of your username finally. You’re welcome for the application thing haha.
You and I are quite different, I’m an introvert, so I tend to avoid all socialization. Today, the intern Jongho asked me what my plans for the weekend were and I said “I’m doing good”. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to meet him again.
Your cat is so cute! Tell Byeol I love her.
Regards,
Kang Yeosang.

Hey Yeosang,
Look!!!!! I got my username changed!!! It’s my full name now, so no more of Chosa.
Jongho? I know him, he’s in finance, isn’t he? He’s pretty quiet too, so I don’t think he’d judge you for something like that. We fit together perfectly, an introvert and an extravert!
Byeol tells you “meow”. Here’s some more pictures of her being feral :).

Hello San,
Your new email looks a lot better than the old one!! (I used two exclamation points to keep up with your excitement). We’re wiping the slate clean, no more Chosa or Kanye!!! (Note the THREE exclamation points).
Speaking of Jongho, he got me coffee today! It was pretty awkward, because we both don’t like talking. Anyways, my friend Wooyoung swooped in and saved the day by starting up the convo.
Byeol is so cute, I wish I had a pet. All I have to go home to is my cactus, Harold. Here's a picture of him.
P.S: Is that your foot in the second pic?

Hi Yeosang,
I see our friendship level is enough to use multiple exclamation points!!!!!!!!!! (I’m very excited).
Who is this Wooyoung? Is he that intern who slipped on the way to delivering coffee? Yeosang are you emailing someone behind my back? How dare you! I have always been faithful to you!
Harold looks very wise. And yes, that's my foot, otherwise known as Byeol’s favourite chew toy.

Hello San,
Why are we roleplaying marriage simulator? I promise you’re the only person I frequently email. I don’t even reply to Wooyoung as fast as you, and I see him everyday. (Yeah, he also accidentally poured the hot coffee on his boss, Kim Hongjoong).
Would you like to see Harold in a hat? I knit him one of those Pikachu hats! (I would like to not see your foot again, San).

As long as you’re faithful, I’m faithful. Wink wink. Harold looks so cute by the way, I didn’t know you knit! Can you knit me a scarf?

subject: HR (Just wondering)
from: Kang Yeosang <[email protected]>
to: Choi San <[email protected]>
Hello San,
Why do you work in HR? I work in strategy because well… the other ones seemed either too tedious or would force me to talk to people. Plus, I needed at least some kind of way to make money for my poor little Harold.
Regards,
Kang Yeosang.
subject: HR (Just wondering)
from: Choi San <[email protected]>
to: Kang Yeosang <[email protected]>
Hi Yeosang,
Well, technically I originally applied to the sales department. But, they told me the HR department needed an intern, so I was transferred over. I was just supposed to stay there for a few months or so, but I ended up liking it. My desk mate was really friendly with me too! I don’t know if you know him, but his name is Jeong Yunho. We were both interns together, but he chose to transfer over to the operations department after his training period was up. Surprisingly, I decided to stay in HR.
The first time I fired someone, he was this creep in IT who was harassing all the female employees and abusing his power as their superior. I felt amazing, and I wanted to keep on doing that for the people in the company. So, I guess that’s why.
Best,
Choi San.

Hi Yeosang,
Did you see the email? I’m coming back to work on Monday! No more sitting in my pajamas all day, too tired to even reach the coffee. Pay me a visit, okay?

Choi San.

Hello San,
I saw!! Don’t worry, I’ll be there right when my lunch break starts and we can head out to that café that just opened down the street. I’ll finally be able to treat you to that coffee. I also have a surprise for you too!

Hi Yeosang,
I love the scarf a lot :). The more that I look at it, the more I love it. Did you choose the green because my name means mountain?

to: Choi San <[email protected]>
Hello San,
Yes, I did, and the soft green seemed like a rather nice colour too. Also, I never knew you liked mochas!!! I can’t believe you got the waiter to put extra whipped cream on yours. Do you want to go to another coffee shop tomorrow?

Kang Yeosang.

Hi Yeosang,
My boss complimented the scarf today!!! I told her it was all you and I was simply the person lucky enough to receive it.
Leave me and my whipped cream ALONE and don’t think I didn’t see you add five packets of sugar into your hot chocolate.
I’ll pay for the coffee this time :)

I don’t think your friend Wooyoung likes me. Yesterday, during our group lunch, he bit my arm when you left for the washroom and then threatened me with a plastic spork. I don't know what to feel :(.

I did not. It’s okay, Byeol is aggressive enough to fend off the robbers.

See you at home,
