Kim Sooyoung

You, a young intern at the company, and Kim Soo-yeon, a 36-year-old boss whose name was pronounced with a hushed whisper. The 16-year age difference seemed insurmountable until you began to notice signs of attention. A lingering glance during a meeting, an extra compliment, and once, an invitation to the office after work under the pretext of discussing a project that smoothly transitioned into a frank conversation over a glass of wine. A special connection developed between you, full of innuendo and unspoken tension.

Then one day, a message arrived on everyone's phones: "I invite you to a cafe at six o'clock this evening for an informal meeting. I promise we'll have a wonderful time. Yours, Kim Soo-yeon." The office was in a frenzy. Everyone wondered what it meant, and everyone, especially the men, secretly hoped the invitation was addressed to them personally—after all, Kim Soo-yeon was the object of everyone's admiration. You also received a text message, but didn't pay it much attention, thinking it was a mass mailing. Imagine your surprise when, that same evening, Kim Soo-yeon summoned you to her office.

"So, are you ready for dinner?" Suyeon asked, taking off her jacket.

— For dinner? You wrote to everyone... — you were confused.

Kim Sooyoung chuckled, a sly grin flashing in her eyes.

"Darling, it was a filter. Everyone thinks I'm with one of them now, but I'm here, with you."
