Byun Euijoo (9:11 AM)
I’ve been lurking in everyone’s Slack chats to make sure that the shift from Teams is going okay. I guess people forget IT see everyone’s messages. They have a conspiracy group chat trying to prove that we’re dating.

Wang Nicholas (9:11 AM)
no way

( 9:12 )

i KNEW they were paying more attention to me lately. bastards...

Byun Euijoo (9:12 AM)
They don’t have any solid proof, but they’re definitely talking about it.

( 10:28 )

You need advice from me because I’m very experienced and mature, right?

Wang Nicholas (10:30 AM)
no because you’re older than anyone here and you don’t place monetary bets on everyone else’s personal life.

Koga Yudai (10:31 AM)

Nakakita Yuma (3:30 PM)

Ha Sooyoung (3:31 PM)
I feel like that’s not proof of anything, he probably just doesn’t like you very much.

Nakakita Yuma (3:31 PM)

Son Hyeju (3:32 PM)

Murata Fuma (4:00 PM)
Hi, all. Sending a message to let you know that we’ll have a new employee starting on Monday. Her name is Jinsol, she’s being transferred from our Southern branch to help out up here. I expect everyone to act accordingly when a new person enters the office ecosystem.

Nakakita Yuma (4:01 PM)
since when do you use the word ecosystem to describe the office

Wang Nicholas (4:01 PM)
normal person translation for fuma’s message: don’t scare the new girl

Mauss Riki (4:02 PM)
fuma why is your headshot so blurry

Murata Fuma (4:02 PM)
It’s not.

Mauss Riki (4:02 PM)
it is

Byun Euijoo (4:03 PM)
It’s an old headshot, he refused to take a new one when the photographer was here.

Mauss Riki (4:03 PM)
LMAO dude its so blurry

Nakakita Yuma (4:03 PM)
let me guess the new girl is going to sit with all the other girls on the other side of the office

( 4:03 )

because fuma hates women

Cho Haseul (4:04 PM)
You don’t have to respond to that, Fuma.

Murata Fuma (4:04 PM)
I do not hate women.

Kim Jiwoo (4:04 PM)
But do you love women?

Murata Fuma (4:05 PM)
Not the way you do, Jiwoo.

Kim Jiwoo (4:05 PM)
#truethat

Jeon Heejin (4:06 PM)
is the new hire going to share a desk with one of us? because if so i vote hyeju

Son Hyeju (4:06 PM)

Cho Haseul (4:07 PM)
You don’t have to respond to that, Heejin.

Murata Fuma (4:07 PM)
The new hire will have her own desk. Thanks.

Asakura Jo (4:07 PM)
I’ll be up in the AM to get her computer set up!

Murata Fuma (4:07 PM)
Everyone be more like Jo, please.

Mauss Riki (4:07 PM)

Byun Euijoo (4:08 PM)

Ha Sooyoung (4:11 PM)

Shigeta Harua (4:11 PM)

Mauss Riki (4:11 PM)

Ha Sooyoung (4:11 PM)

Mauss Riki (11:22 AM)

Byun Euijoo (9:11 AM)
Hey, can you take a phonecall?

Murata Fuma (9:20 AM)

Jeong Jinsol (9:20 AM)
Great to be here!

Wang Nicholas (9:21 AM)

Jeong Jinsol (9:21 AM)
Nice to meet you too!

Wang Nicholas (9:21 AM)
i have an announcement to make.

( 9:21 )

euijoo and i are together. we have been for about six months.

Mauss Riki (9:22 AM)
lol yeah we know

Wang Nicholas (9:22 AM)
no you dont???

Shigeta Harua (9:22 AM)
we do.

Koga Yudai (9:23 AM)
And honestly, shame on you guys for trying to buy Sooyoung out to do your bidding… tsk tsk…

Wang Nicholas (9:23 AM)
wtf???

Ha Sooyoung (9:24 AM)
How’d you figure it out?

Wang Nicholas (9:24 AM)
they’re hacking bro

Shigeta Harua (9:24 AM)
no hacking needed. jo is IT too.

Asakura Jo (9:25 AM)
Once i figured out the admin log in for slack, it was simple…

Nakakita Yuma (9:25 AM)
lmaoooo he’s talking like an old timey detective

Asakura Jo (9:26 AM)
I thought it was strange that Euijoo wasn’t letting me have admin access to Slack, so I did some investigating of my own. Once I was in, what I found shocked me…

Takayama Riki (9:26 AM)
OMG

Mauss Riki (9:26 AM)
lmao i forgot taki hasnt heard any of this bc he doesnt have an iphone

Son Hyeju (9:26 AM)
HAHAHAH

Asakura Jo (9:27 AM)
It turns out, Euijoo was keeping an eye on all of us on Friday. Including the group chat we had been using to theorize about his and Nicholas’ relationship status.

Cho Haseul (9:27 AM)
Woah, back up a second…

Asakura Jo (9:28 AM)
But not only that! He and Nicholas have been openly— and dare I say, boldly— flirting in DMS, as well as including the company attorney on their little scheme to try to make some money off of a rigged bet.

( 9:28 )

As a very smart colleague once told me— always be aware that IT sees all.

Mauss Riki (9:28 AM)
EUIJOO SAID THAT HAHAHAHAHAHA

Byun Euijoo (9:29 AM)
Okay, it’s not that funny.

Murata Fuma (9:29 AM)
It’s a little funny.

Byun Euijoo (9:29 AM)
Et tu, Fuma?

Asakura Jo (9:30 AM)
So, anyway. The group of us talked over the weekend and mutually agreed to cancel out all of the bets besides the one Nicholas placed via Sooyoung.

Nakakita Yuma (9:30 AM)
wow

Mauss Riki (9:30 AM)
OWNEDDDD

Jeon Heejin (9:31 AM)
it’s so awesome

Wang Nicholas (9:31 AM)
ok…

Ha Sooyoung (9:32 AM)
Fuckkkkkkk

Byun Euijoo (9:32 AM)
Good show, everyone.

( 9:33 )

Really, I commend you all.

Mauss Riki (9:33 AM)
lmaoooo he maddddd

Byun Euijoo (9:34 AM)
I’m not mad.

( 9:33 )

Honestly, I was expecting it.

Takayama Riki (9:34 AM)
GASP!

Byun Euijoo (9:35 AM)
That’s why I had a meeting with Haseul last night, and clarified with her the company policy on under the table gambling. Which, as you can imagine, is that no gambling is allowed. At all.

Cho Haseul (9:36 AM)
That is correct.

Byun Euijoo (9:37 AM)
So, unfortunately, Heejin will have to return everyone’s money by 3PM today, or there will be consequences.

( 9:37 )

I’m not a fan of people profiting off of my relationship.

( 9:37 )

Even if it’s me.

Wang Nicholas (9:38 AM)
jesus

( 9:38 )

i am so in love with you

Mauss Riki (9:38 AM)
oh damn

Son Hyeju (9:38 AM)
just yakked

Mauss Riki (9:39 AM)
i didnt know it was like that… thats kinda sweet

Shigeta Harua (9:39 AM)
really???

( 9:39 )

ur not usually the romantic type

Wang Nicholas (9:39 AM)
okay, so everyone can leave us alone now.? we can forget any of this happened.

Murata Fuma (9:40 AM)
I feel like i should do something about the gambling ring that just got busted

Nakakita Yuma (9:41 AM)
nah its fine

Murata Fuma (9:41 AM)
Good enough for me.

Koga Yudai (9:42 AM)
Eagle 3, you did well. I’m sorry your collision with Eagle 1 ended this way…

Asakura Jo (9:42 AM)
It’s been a privilege and an honor.

Jeong Jinsol (9:43 AM)
Sorry to interrupt, but my printer isn’t working for some reason, does anyone know how to sort that out?

Byun Euijoo (9:43 AM)
Yeah, sorry! I’ll be right up!

Jeong Jinsol (9:44 AM)
Thanks!

Shigeta Harua (9:51 AM)
yuma owes me 50

Mauss Riki (9:52 AM)
all bets were cancelled bro

Shigeta Harua (9:52 AM)
yeah we bet on all bets being cancelled

Nakakita Yuma (9:54 AM)
im breaking up w fuma fr this time he told me he'd make sure none of the bets got cancelled

Jeon Heejin (10:09 AM)
by popular demand…

( 10:09 )

betting is now open twenty dollar minimum buy in, per usual

Cho Haseul (10:10 AM)
50 on they’ve been together for three months.

Nakakita Yuma (10:10 AM)
oh shit haseul is here?

Cho Haseul (10:10 AM)
I like to gamble, Euijoo paid me $200 to shut down the other ring.

Nakakita Yuma (10:11 AM)
damn. sellout.

Cho Haseul (10:11 AM)
As if you wouldn’t do the same thing.

Nakakita Yuma (10:11 AM)
i def would

Nakakita Yuma (10:16 AM)
50 on a year

Ha Sooyoung (10:17 AM)
IDK guys it feels wrong to bet on our coworkers so often…

Son Hyeju (10:18 AM)

Ha Sooyoung (10:18 AM)

Shigeta Harua (10:19 AM)

Wang Nicholas (11:25 AM)

Byun Euijoo (11:25 AM)
