Seojun: I would like to request an advance payment…

Seojun said while gripping the hem of his shirt.

He knows how much of an asshole Gong Yu is, but he got no choice at the moment.

Ever since he got to this company, this guy made his day harder than it should be. Like running an errand for him, taking care of the job that should be handled by Gong Yu himself, and making sure that he will not be given even a single second of rest.

But that’s life. If your standing on this industry was low, you’re position won’t allow you to complain. So Seojun just got used to it.

He was happy with the job he has right now. But at the time of need, Seojun always finds himself having a hard time talking to his boss.

But for Yena, even though he doesn’t want to ask for a favor from Gong Yu, Seojun will endure the scolding he will get.

Gong Yu: Huh?! Did I hear it right?! Are you actually asking me for money?!

Gong Yu said and got up from his chair. He then made his way towards Seojun, picked up a stack of folders, and mockingly tap it Seojun’s head.

Gong Yu: This company gave you a job kid, not for you to put it in bankruptcy in return. So you should get out, *Smack!* go to your workplace *Smack* and work! *Smack*

Gong Yu said while continuously whipping the folder he was holding on Seojun's head.

Meanwhile, Seojun closed his eyes taking the beating and humiliation for the sake of his sister. He needed that money so badly.

Seojun takes a deep breath to hold his emotions and started pleading.

Seojun: I really needed the money…sir. My sister needs the money for her hospital bills. It’s an emergency. I’m willing to take overtime without pay if necessary, I just really needed the payment in advan—

Gong Yu: I don’t care!

Gong Yu said ignoring Seojun's pleads.

Gong Yu: I’m not paying you for nothing! What did you even do, huh?! Just standing around looking stupid and doing nothing?! Go back to your workplace and work! *Smack*

Gong Yu said.

Hearing those words made Seojun's patience crumble.

'Doing nothing?!' Seojun thought

Saying that Seojun did nothing was the biggest insult he got from this madman. He was the one who almost hadled everthing from the needs of their idols to keeping them safe every single day. And this guy with a bulging stomach said he didn't do anything as if it was Gong Yu who did all the work which is the other way around.

It makes him want to beat up this guy even more.

Just a single more smack and insulting word from this ugly bastard and he will surely land a solid punch on his face.

But Seojun knows that if he does that, it will only make things worse.

But seems like Gong Yu is really testing his patience.

Seojun: Sir please, I really need the money. It’s for my sister. I won’t ask for anything else but please, just this once…please allow me to get an advance paym-- *Smack!*

Gong Yu interrupted Seojun again but this time, by another smack on his head.

Gong Yu: Noooo buts! And noooo advance payment! Do you hear me?! And there’s one more thing…Don't you ever dare to come into my office and stand around like an idiot. If you want to see me, then set an appointment with my secretary. Now GET OUT!!!
