Secret Weddings

Chapters 1. Early meet

October 2020, Seoul.

"What can a person like you do other than watch from a distance?!"

Thas right. I.., all this time was just someone who always looked from a distance.

"You're not the kind of person to protect, you have to remember that!"

Rather than protecting, I was more often protected by others. It's reality.

"So don't you dare expect to be next to him, or be happy, understand!"

*Even if I am not reminded, I am self-aware enough, that I do not deserve to be happy.

This blow.., I do deserve it*.

The sudden rain fell from the sky as if to mourn the state of Jin Ji who was lying weakly on the paved road after being beaten all out by Hyang Seo, who was in the middle of the day, the man who was his friend 7 years ago.

"Now...., what should I do?" The sound was accompanied by tears disguised by the rain. "I can't complain about this to the director, or to Seok Woo's brother, nor do I have any friends to complain about it. So, how should I go? I..., have no place to complain, or lean." The scream turned into a stir. Even though he is an actor that is loved by many. However, in fact, he realized that the love of his fans was only love that grew out of boredom. Well, the Korean culture wave is indeed being discussed by the world during the pandemic of the Korona outbreak. Due to having to stay home for months, the world community makes Korean dramas a preference amid the boredom of stay-home. The name of the actor Jin Ji began to rise thanks to the family-themed drama he played. Originally two million, now Jin Ji fans increased twenty-fold — was a disaster bringing blessings to him— but, still, even though he got tens of times the love, he did, he still has no place anywhere to complain about the difficulties he experienced, to lean on the heavy day he passed, or to shelter from the rigors of the world. She...,

"I.., I don't have anyone."

"Hey, Jin-ah. If you're tired, and you want to rest, you can come here anytime, okay? Because this is your home."

"He!!" Instantly Jin Ji stopped sobbing. He got out of his place, and began to walk under the torrent of rain with shaky steps.

He..., will accept me, right?

March 2020, Seoul.

"Director! Director!"

Chae Eun spits out the coffee she was drinking from being surprised by the arrival of the secretary to her room in a frenzied manner.

"Araghhhh! It sucks you, Chun Bong!!" Omelnya, while removing the rest of the coffee on his lips.

By showing no guilt, the secretary said, "how many times should I say, my name is Jessica, not Chun Bong!!!"

"How many times do you have to do it too? I don't want to call you Jessica! Besides, your face doesn't deserve to be called Jessica!"

"Hey, the director's almost broke! If you dare not obey my words, I will make sure you receive my resignation today!" The secretary, Chun Bong, changed her name to Jessica two years ago.

Instantly Chae Eun loses her authority from her status as Director. "Eihh, don't be so dong, Jessica. I always follow your words." And he became like a obedient dog.

Huh! I must be the only Director to be treated like this by his secretary. Depressing. But, I really can't lose Chun Bong. I mean.., Jessica. This is ironic over the irony of T_T

"So, Chun Bo. Jessica, what's looking for me? To my surprise, DI-REK-TUR-MU" asked Chae Eun, stressing the director, with the aim of reminding Jessica of her status.

But Jessica doesn't seem to care. "This month again the company does not get a profit, if it continues like this, we can really go bankrupt because all we do is pay the cost of production without income."

Chae Eun sighed heavily, "want how else? This is a pandemic period, rather than buying useless parfumes also used in the house, it is better to buy food needs, or...,"

#BRAKKKK

Chae Eun is surprised instead of playing when Jessica hits her desk hard. His heart almost jumped out like some documents on his desk jumped for a moment because of the force of the punch.

"D-damn it, you surprised me."

"You are really the status of the Director! But there is absolutely no wisdom, nor the authority of a director!" Tukas Jessica's.

Chae Eun said, "yes~ I never asked for this Director position.., too...,"

#plakkkk

This is Chun Bong's 19th hit in three days, Chun Bong is evil once T_T. Chae Eun's heart grimaced, while stroking Jessica's punch marks on her head.

Jessica's face turned serious.

"Yes, yes, I know," said Chae Eun, still stroking her aching head.

"Lantas, what's the solution for you?" Ask Jessica, seriously.

Chae Eun was silent for a moment. He had already worked from home with some of his employees, cut salaries by twenty percent, and also moved to an office where rent was cheaper. So, what else is the solution? Her thought.

"You don't think you're going to do a massive phk, do you?" Jessica looks worried. Meanwhile, Chae Eun now looks upset because she feels so negative thinking by the secretary.

"Hey, Chun Bong...,"

"Jessica!" Sela Jessica is full of emphasis.

"Yes, I mean Jessica. You think I'm a person who would be selfish like that huh?" Ask Chae Eun. "Even if sometimes I like to act as I please...,"

"Actually not sometimes, you do often behave as she pleases" said Jessica.

"Yeah! Don't interrupt my words dong!" Tukas Chae Eun's.

"Yes, I'm listening."

Chae Eun let out a long sigh, then continued, "even if I were this way, I would never get anyone else in trouble. If I do phk in the middle of this pandemic, it might stabilize the company but, what about the employees? They.., will only suffer more in the midst of this pandemic."

Instead of being impressed, Jessica looked at the Director with a suspicious look. "Is this some kind of calm before the storm? You're up to something, aren't you?"

"Jeez Chun Bong...,"

"Jessica!" Jessica interrupted again.

"Yes, Jessica. I'm not okay in your brain?!"

"Frightly so." Jessica grinned, leaving Chae Eun stunned as well as disappointed.

"Geez, you're so mean Chun Bong."

"Jessica!" Jessica stated. "Once again calling me Chun Bong, I'm really going to throw my resignation letter in your face."

"Good, cruel."

On the other side. Outside Chae Eun's study.

"You see that? Jessica hit the Director's head, wasn't she scared?"

The employees who witnessed Jessica's behavior towards Chae Eun — Chae Eun's workspace was only limited by transparent glass until the view from the inside could be seen from outside— was completely shocked and inexhaustible with jessica Dassness.

"He's done a lot of rude things to the Director, is it possible that our Director is not authoritative to the extent that his secretary applies that to him?"

"What are you doing?" The manager, Kang Namjoon, who had just arrived, asked.

"That's it, we saw Jessica hit the Director on the head, totally insane! And again, the director just kept quiet."

"Is our Director so disrespectful that he's treated like that?"

"Can we also do that to the Director?"

Namjoon let out a long sigh, and answered the questions of the employees in the room sternly, "you've only been working here for a year, haven't you? So, don't think things through, and just do your job. Understand?!"

"Yes, manager," with a compact of employees.

I used to think so too. Namjoon's whisper in his heart. Instantly he remembered the past.

(In Namjoon's memory. When Namjoon treated the Director the same way Jessica treated him)

"*Director, you should be wiser, why would you invest in an uncertain project? This is how it turned out, our investment money just disappeared."

"Hey, Manager Kang, take a paper and a pen, and then write your resignation in front of me*."

"Huh?! D-Director."

(Remember Namjoon stopped here)

"If I hadn't been on my knees all day, then I would have been fired back then" Namjoon murmured.

Jessica's behavior towards Chae Eun certainly can not be followed by other employees. Not without reason, it was all because Jessica was the most valuable person to Chae Eun, so Chae Eun was able to tolerate any of Jessica's rude behavior. However, with other people, Chae Eun is a very sarcasm.
