Author's POV:

The morning sun filtered through the office windows as the clock struck 8:00 AM, marking the beginning of what would become Yun Hee's most challenging week yet.

Mary: "Good morning, Yun Hee. Today you will begin working directly with Sir Taehyung. Please focus and do your best. I won't be there to clean up any mistakes you make."

Mary's voice carried a mixture of concern and resignation. She watched as Yun Hee's face paled, her hands trembling slightly at her sides. The poor girl's innocent nature had prevented her from learning much during her training week, and Mary could see the fear dancing in her eyes.

Yun Hee: "But I still need more training! Please, Miss Mary, ask for one more week. I promise I'll try harder. If I go to him now, he'll fire me for sure!"

Her voice cracked with desperation, her body language screaming vulnerability as she unconsciously stepped closer to Mary, seeking comfort and protection.

Mary gazed at the terrified girl with deep pity etched across her features. The girl simply wasn't cut out for this harsh environment, but the decision had already been made by the higher-ups. There was nothing she could do now.

Mary: "I'm sorry, but I have no say in this matter. I've prepared your file for today so you won't be confused trying to organize it yourself. Just go and try your best to follow his orders, okay?"

She gently patted Yun Hee's shoulder, hoping to provide some reassurance, but the gesture felt hollow even to her. Yun Hee's shoulders remained tense, her breathing shallow and rapid.

Yun Hee approached Taehyung's office with heavy, hesitant steps. Her heart pounded against her ribcage like a caged bird. Finding the office empty, she cautiously entered, clutching the schedule file against her chest like a shield. She moved carefully around the room, straightening papers and organizing items, hoping desperately that her efforts would somehow impress him and make her first day easier.

She was completely absorbed in her task, her movements becoming more confident as she worked, when the door suddenly swung open. The sound made her freeze mid-motion, her blood turning to ice in her veins.

Taehyung: "What are you doing in my office?!"

His voice cut through the air like a blade, cold and sharp. He stood motionless in the doorway, his imposing figure blocking the exit, his dark eyes fixed on her with unmistakable displeasure.

Yun Hee: "I... I brought your schedule and... I was trying to arrange your office. It was messy."

She stammered, her voice barely above a whisper. Her hands shook as she gestured weakly toward the papers she'd been organizing. Despite her best efforts, her words came out broken and uncertain.

Taehyung: "Rule number one: You are not allowed in this office until I call you. Second: You are not an office girl to arrange my office - stick to your job description. Third: My schedule is not to be handed over in a file. You need to memorize it completely and inform me verbally. You must follow up and remind me of each event throughout the day using the phone placed in your office. Is that clear?"

Each word was delivered with precision, his tone remaining frighteningly calm. Yun Hee nodded frantically, her hands trembling so violently she had to clasp them together to try to still them.

Taehyung: "Rule number four: I need to hear your response verbally. I'm not free enough to look at you to understand your reaction."

Yun Hee: "Sorry, Sir... I will try to follow your rules."
