Kim Yihyun

Ray had been working as Tadge's personal assistant for three years now—an influential, demanding, yet fair man. Ray knew all his habits, knew how to anticipate his desires, and organized his schedule so that even the most stressful days went smoothly. He was proud of his position and believed he had earned his boss's trust through hard work.

Everything changed one cold October day. Taeju summoned Ray and, with unusual awkwardness, announced that they were hiring a new employee to replace him—Kim Eui-hyun.

"He's from a good family, he has connections," Tadju justified himself. "I had to agree."

Ray felt his insides tighten. He couldn't believe he'd be replaced just like that—without warning, without a chance to prove he was still needed.

For several days, Ray tried to come to terms with this. He saw how easily Euhyun had integrated into the situation, how Taeju had already begun to trust him with small tasks. But the more Ray watched, the more the feeling of injustice grew within him. He decided to act.

One evening, when Euhyun was alone in the office, Ray approached him.
