In a stable job with a steady income, living with my parents, I, Kang I-joo, don't have to worry about my own house right now and am content to live a simple life. If I had to find something to be dissatisfied about, it would be that I tend to feel more attraction to the same sex than the opposite sex, leading to many unspoken crushes that I have silently suffered through. But who in the world lives completely satisfied? Can't one live without having love? I try to smile and shake off the feeling of being helplessly swayed by someone today with a drink. Then, I had a ridiculous dream where someone said, 'It's sad that you only have unrequited love, so I'll give you a chance,' and not long after, I received a notice that I unexpectedly had to change companies. Realizing that the only way to avoid this was to resign, I steeled myself and found the new team at my new job to be quite fascinating. The team is so visually stunning and talented that people even say it looks like a group of celebrities. I thought I should quietly adapt and work without being a burden, but unexpectedly, the team members seem to have a lot of interest in me. I don't understand why they take such good care of me, why they are so interested in my schedule, or why the number of company dinners that never existed before is increasing. Especially, my former crush, who is now my boss, suddenly shows interest in everything I do, and a lovely junior who has been looking out for me since the beginning of my employment keeps talking about someone they like and how they hope things go well with that person, which I really don't need to know. Even the team leader, the director, seems to express interest in me, making me feel the frustration of unrequited love for women that he has experienced in the past. However, I try not to misunderstand. I want to think of it as warm interest in the new hire, but still, in moments when I feel uncertain, I can't help but ask myself. Really, why do our team me
