Misunderstandings arise when Jaehee Kang, Jumin Han's highly capable assistant, announces that she will resign from her position, after working for Jumin for over two years.
(Jumin X Jaehee)
Jumin bemusedly watched Jaehee nearly die from laughter for some very long minutes before the young woman straightened up again, trying to regain her composure.
"Mr. Han..." Jaehee pulled her glasses back up when they began to slip down her nose from her previous outburst. "You can't possibly be serious..."
Jumin blinked in response; not comprehending why Jaehee wouldn't even take his good offer into consideration. "Why wouldn't I be?"
The brunette couldn't help but gasp surpisedly again. "Oh my God!" she exclaimed, realising he wasn't joking.
"Why are you even asking me to marry you, Mr. Han?!" the woman questioned, brown eyes narrowing.
Jumin raised an eyebrow. "Well, you stated you wished to get married, Assistant Kang. I just wanted to help you fulfill your goal," he told her simply.
"That's not how it works!" Jaehee raised her hands over her head with exasperation. "You get married out of love! It's not some kind of business deal!"
For being such a naturally logical and intelligent person, Jumin Han certainly got the short end of the stick when it came to feelings and relationships...
Jumin glanced away guiltily. He had supposed Jaehee would be content with his offer and likely decide to stay with him at the company as a result.
It seemed reasonable to him.
Jaehee heaved out a sigh before turning around and deciding to just go inside her apartment and pretend none of this ever happened.
But then Jumin spoke up again.
"Then perhaps..."
Jaehee turned to face him, giving him a confused look. What else could he likely spout after saying such a ridiculous thing just seconds ago?
"Perhaps you could fall in love with me." He finished, deadpan as normal, looking at her with a sincere glint in his eyes.
The Chief Assistant was speechless for the fourth time this week. Just what drug was Jumin on? Catnip?
Maybe he was drunk...
"M-mr. Han..." she uttered his name quietly, almost like a mumble. "I think you should go home."
"What? But—"
"Please go home," she repeated, this time more firmly. "It isn't good for you to walk around by yourself when you're drunk..." she explained, genuinely worried.
Jumin's silver eyes widened at the false accusation, feeling the need to defend himself; but Jaehee waved at him goodbye before he could say anything, going inside her house and closing the door shut.
To make sure he still wasn't standing outside, she rushed towards the window and slid the blinds open, checking positively as Jumin Han got inside his vehicle, already giving directions to Driver Kim.
