Chapter 1: Life before I opened my eyes

Name: Kim Bo Myung. Age thirty-three. He was living just outside the edge of mediocrity.

He didn't start off wanting to live like this. He didn't know anything when he was born, and around the time he became capable of thought, he, as everyone did, began to have big dreams.

Wanting to become president, a scientist, or a doctor was tiring, and once he started watching TV, he also considered becoming a celebrity.

That dream became bigger and he decided to become a singer. His looks were ordinary, but he was pretty good at singing so who knew what could happen in the future? It wasn't a completely absurd dream.

But the reality is...

Bo Myung is an office worker who barely got the title of Deputy Section Chief last year.

It's been 5 years since he had been working in Q Entertainment's PR team. He couldn't become a singer and the life of taking care of singers was tiring and boring, but at least he was employed.

"Mr. Bo Myung, Mr. Bo Myung! What are you doing there?!"

"Ex...excuse me?"

"Please help me move these boxes. You're spacing out again."

Trending topics frantically passing by. Articles with similar titles and content incessantly filling the monitor. Bo Myung was staring blankly at the monitor.

At the beckoning of his coworker Ye Jin, Bo Myung quickly got up and went to Ye Jin's side. Ye Jin was in the middle of moving promotional materials for one of the company's singers she produced a while back.

The box full of promotional material was larger than Ye Jin's body, but she effortlessly put the boxes that arrived from the printing company in their rightful place.

This kind of manual labor was nothing for an employee of the agency's PR team. It just happened to be when the Department Head called the interns and new employees over, so Ye Jin was just annoyed that she had to do the work herself.

Bo Myung brought the remaining two boxes to Ye Jin's seat.

"Thank you. What were you staring at so intensely?"

"Just some internet articles...."

His daily task was monitoring internet articles. It was nothing new, so Ye Jin nodded her head and started to remove the packaging on the box.

Bo Myung was leaning over next to Ye Jin, listening to the sound of tape being torn. Ye Jin was frustrated by Bo Myung hovering next to her, looking like he had something to say.

Even within the PR team, Kim Bo Myung was known for being timid and having a passive personality. His personality wasn't a good fit for a PR job where you frequently had to meet with people, but he was able to stay with the company because his unique tenacity and diligence was acknowledged.

Anyways, an organization needed a person like Bo Myung for it to run. Someone who was perfect for taking care of the dirty work. The PR team unanimously thought that.

Honestly, it wasn't like he was bad at his job. Bo Myung's silent personality frustrated some people, like Ye Jin, but there were also some people who liked it.

"Is there something you want to say to me?"

"Well...it's about Seo Kang Jun."

"Seo Kang Jun?"
