Nailing the Assignment — Chapter 2

THIS IS SO REFRESHING...

I CAN FEEL ALL THE PRESSURE LEAVING MY BODY.

BUT WHY DOES THIS SCENT FEEL FAMILIAR?

SEE?

YOU'RE COMPLETELY WASTED.

GO HOME BEFORE YOU DO SOMETHING YOU'LL REGRET TOMORROW.

YOU SHOULD BE GLAD IT WAS ME YOU KISSED. OTHERS WOULD'VE GOTTEN THE WRONG IDEA.

I-I CAN'T LAUGH RIGHT NOW!

M-MR. GONG...

ACTUALLY...

HOW ARE YOU EVEN GOING TO FIND YOUR OWN PLACE WHEN YOU'RE SO DRUNK?

NO, HEAR ME OUT-

WAIT RIGHT HERE.

I'LL DRIVE YOU HOME WITH THE OTHERS.

NO! YOUR LIPS ARE STAINED!

NO, NOT THERE....

WAIT!

WE'RE HERE.

GOT DRUNK ON THE YANG ENERGY FILLING THE CAR.

MS. CHA ISN'T LOOKING SO GREAT.

HEY, ARE YOU OKAY?

DO YOU THINK YOU CAN MAKE IT HOME ON YOUR OWN?

OH, DID I STARTLE YOU? SORRY.

HIS YANG ENERGY IS GETTING STRONGER THE CLOSER HE GETS...

NOW THAT I'VE HAD A TASTE I CAN'T-

WILL YOU BE ALRIGHT? ARE YOU ALRIGHT?

MS. CHA-

GONG TAE-SU...

CHA HEE-SEO...

YOU FUCKING CRAZY BITCH...

I KNOW I'VE BEEN THROUGH HELL AND BACK BECAUSE OF MY YIN ENERGY...

BUT NEVER HAVE I EVER BROUGHT A MAN HOME BECAUSE I WAS POSSESSED BY HIS YANG ENERGY...

WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE THE INFAMOUS GONG TAE-SU?!

FOOD CONGLOMERATE HANSEOL'S MERCHANDISING TEAM LEADER GONG TAE-SU.

A SNACK HE CAME UP WITH WHILE HE WAS IN A DIFFERENT COMPANY BECAME A HIT...

...AND LEGEND HAS IT THAT THE CEO OF HANSEOL HEADHUNTED HIM HIMSELF.

EVEN THOUGH EVERYONE BECAME TERRITORIAL AFTER HE JOINED, HE PROVED HIMSELF WITH CONSECUTIVE HOME RUNS...

When will the "Shooting Choco" boom die? 5 billion sold in three months...

Hanseol's "Real Butter Biscuit" is a huge hit and so are its stocks!

...AS THE BEST PRODUCT DESIGNER IN THE INDUSTRY!

I WAS BASICALLY THROWN INTO THIS TEAM...

...BUT I TRIED TO BE POSITIVE ABOUT IT. I MEAN, I GET TO LEARN FROM THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS.

SO HOW DO I FIX THIS?!

I CAN'T BELIEVE I SLEPT WITH MY BOSS...

IF I ASK HIM TO PRETEND NOTHING HAPPENED, HE MIGHT SPREAD RUMORS ABOUT ME AT WORK...

BUT IF I TELL HIM THIS WAS AN ACCIDENT CAUSED BY HIS YANG ENERGY, HE'LL THINK I'M A PSYCHO!

I JUST CAN'T FIGURE THIS OUT...

MY CAREER...

IS HE AWAKE...?

I GUESS NOT.

HE'S KINDA GOOD-LOOKING, I'LL GIVE HIM THAT.

I CAN SEE WHY EVERYONE'S ALWAYS SINGING HIS PRAISES.

IF I'M HONEST WITH MYSELF, I DID HAVE FUN LAST NIGHT.

THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT HE'S MY FUCKING BOSS!

I NEED TO SNEAK OUT BEFORE HE WAKES UP...

EVERYONE'S GONE OUT TO LUNCH, RIGHT?

...I DON'T KNOW HOW I MANAGED TO COME IN TO WORK TODAY.

I WANTED TO TALK TO HIM...

BUT HE SURE IS RUNNING LATE.

OH, MR. GONG?

HE'S GOING TO THE FOOD LAB TODAY!

HE'LL BE HERE BEFORE LUNCH THOUGH!

HE CAME LATE TO THE TEAM DINNER LAST NIGHT TOO. I GUESS HE'S REALLY BUSY.

I'D RATHER HIM NOT COME IN AT ALL-

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?

WH-WHEN DID YOU GET HERE?

JUST NOW.

WHAT HAS YOU SO FOCUSED THAT YOU DIDN'T HEAR SOMEONE COME IN?

WERE YOU THINKING ABOUT ME?

DON'T SAY THAT.

WHAT IF SOMEONE HEARS YOU?

WHO CARES?

DOESN'T MATTER TO ME.

IS HE SERIOUS?

DOES HE THINK WE'RE DATING JUST BECAUSE WE SLEPT TOGETHER ONCE?

CAN WE TALK IN PRIVATE?

SIR, I'M SORRY...

BUT CAN WE PRETEND LAST NIGHT DIDN'T HAPPEN?

I THINK I MADE A DRUNK MISTAKE.

YOU MADE SO MANY MISTAKES LAST NIGHT...

SO I'M GOING TO NEED YOU TO CLARIFY WHICH ONE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

WAS IT WHEN YOU KISSED ME OUT OF THE BLUE?

OR WHEN YOU ACTED LIKE WE WERE CLOSE ENOUGH FOR YOU TO CALL ME BY MY FIRST NAME?

I CAN'T BELIEVE I DID THAT.

WHAT THE HELL WAS WRONG WITH ME?!

ARE YOU GOING TO PRETEND YOU DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING RIGHT NOW?

HAHA...

WELL...

I DON'T BELIEVE THIS...

I ONLY REMEMBER BITS AND PIECES...!

I'M SORRY, SIR.

LAST NIGHT IS A BLUR TO ME...

I'M SURE YOU WERE OFFENDED THAT YOUR SUBORDINATE TREATED YOU THAT WAY...

THEN DO YOU NOT REMEMBER...

...YOU...

W-WAIT...

PLEASE WAIT...

S-STOP...!

I FEEL STRANGE...LIKE SOMETHING'S ABOUT TO COME OUT...

...SQUIRTING ON MY FACE EITHER?
