Messaging

At Song's mansion,

After reporting everything, Gon remembered something and asked, "Master, whose contact ID you gave to Miss?" Master Song stopped while turning the page and clenched the file, "He was… he was that Tyrant… I mean this guy looks exactly like the Tyrant…" he paused and got confused, "Wait, you must have already searched about him, why are you asking me then?"

Gon was surprised when he heard about the identity of that guy. Today, when Master Song shared the contact ID, Gon later checked the employee data. Gon nodded, "Yes Master, but even after looking at his photo on the biodata, I couldn't recognize him."

Master Song amused, "Let alone the photo, you must have met him since you visited that branch a week ago, that's strange."

Gon now remembered that he indeed met him just a week ago. He guessed, "Master, I regained my memories with you, Miss and Young master when the same incidence happened in this life. For instance, my encounter with Miss, she asked me the same question and teased me, just like in past."

Master Song thought about it and confirmed, "In the case of Lufan, you regained your memories when he held the scalpel on your throat, this happened exactly like in the past." Gon nodded and confirmed. Master Song stated, "Then you will regain the rest of the memories only when a past incident happens with you."

Gon said, "Master, I don't know why but, I am feeling a bit relaxed when you told me about his identity." Master Song disapproved, "You told me that he loved her dearly and it was the best and safest choice for her, even Lufan supported that time," he clasped his face and mumbled, "What I have done… No matter what, I still hate that Tyrant."

Gon assured, "Don't worry master. Miss used to say, 'Everything happens for a good reason."

The next day, Su Yeon could work a bit easier since she cleared her major doubts yesterday night. She could even understand new things told by Assistant Lim. When she fully understood the project, she started admiring the mastermind behind it, LKJ, "I want to appreciate him, should I?" she thought and typed his ID on the top.

Fingers were hesitating and the heart started beating fast…

Su Yeon didn't know why she was feeling so tensed. She finally took a deep breath and started typing,

Good evening Senior,

I am an intern working in the finance department of IT headquarters, Imperial City. I am currently assisting Assistant Lim for our in-house Cybersecurity project and it's simply flawless work. Don't misunderstand me, I just felt appreciating your work. Looking forward to learning from you, if I get a chance.

"Send!" she clicked. "Ohh no, what I have done… he won't take it as bootlicking right, or perhaps, flirting… ohh no… how to undo this… God, please save me!" she started regretting.

In the end, she whispered, "I AM DOOMED!" and knocked her forehead on the table.

…

"I think I haven't made myself cleared," a young man was sitting on his chair with hands folded. He was staring at his junior with his cold eyes through the black rectangular specs.

The junior employee was shivering. He gave up his idea to fool this senior by a cover-up. He shut his eyes and admitted, "I am sorry, it's all my fault. I was distracted for a time being. I… I will accept my punishment."

The young man sighed and ordered, "Debug everything on your own, if I find another mistake, then I will show no mercy."

The junior employee got panic and left. When he came out, he sighed, "Phew… he is really a demon! How can I debug everything on my own! God, please help me!" Just then, his friend came, "What happened? What did that devil say?" The junior employee mimicked his senior, "Debug everything on your own, if I find another mistake, then I will show no mercy." The other one replied, "But he is already showing no mercy at all!"

While returning to their seats, the junior employee asked his friend, "It's impossible that the devil has a girlfriend, right? Else he would have understood why I got distracted." His friend chuckled, "Of course, no girl would like this living hell. I mean, all female employees fantasize him, but I bet, no one could sustain."

On the other hand, the young man was fidgeting the paperweight, while thinking about his junior. Earlier, he saw that his junior was busy talking with someone over a call. He always hated these kinds of people, who loses their sense in the relationship.

He remembered all those incidences. Every time, a girl would approach him for a specific purpose. They all just wanted to show off him, that is why he never interacted with a girl other than his family members.

While thinking, he got a mail from office ID. He opened it and read the content. Unknowingly, his temper started decreasing and a smile appeared on his face. One line caught his attention the most, 'Looking forward learning from you'. He mumbled, "Heh, learning from me? Not meeting or working? This person definitely must be a guy then," and checked the ID, "hmm… ysy11…"

He straightened his posture and decided to reply him,

'Thank you.'

…

Ding!

Su Yeon, who was busy knocking her forehead got up by this sound. It was the reply from him. She prayed and opened it. When she read the content, her heart sank, "Thank you… Huh? What does this mean?..." she realized something and started crying inwardly, "Congrats Su Yeon, you have successfully ruined your first impression!"

"Su Yeon, here is the data you have asked," an intern came behind and gave a file. Su Yeon who was about to close the inbox looked behind while clicking on the close option. Due to this, she couldn't notice another reply came from the same ID right at that time.

Su Yeon completely forgot about this topic and once again immersed herself in the work. After some time, she got a call from Assistant Lim, "Yes Sir… Yes, I am checking…" and opened the inbox to check his message. She continued, "I will send the report within five minutes sir… ok sir," and hung up the call.

When she once again looked back at the screen, a message which was right below the Assistant Lim's mail, was from LKJ. Her heartbeat increased. She read the content and squealed, but stopped as soon as she got stared by surrounding employees. She read the content again,

'Work hard and you can ask me if you have any doubts. All the best.'

Su Yeon pursed her lips, quickly sent a reply and continued her work with blooming face.

…

At the other branch,

The young man was tapping his fingers on the desk while staring at the screen. When he didn't get any reply after his second message, he thought, 'Did I sound bit rude?' He shook his head and assumed, 'he must be busy.' He closed the inbox and continued his work.

His temperature raised again when he noticed few bugs in other junior's work and called him. While he was busy giving deathly glares to his junior, he got a mail. "I am listening, you better have a reasonable explanation," he said and opened the mail simultaneously.

'Really? Thank you so much, senior. I am working hard on understanding these concepts. Rest assured, I will try not to ask you often. Thank you once again for your help.'

He smirked while reading the reply and answered,

'Yes, keep it up.'

The junior employee froze when he saw the smirk on this demon's face. This smirk… was not a smirk but… a gentle smile? He blinked few times to check if he is hallucinating.

The temperature of the room dropped again when the young man moved his eyes away from the screen. When the junior got the punishment, he thought, "Yes, it was a hallucination. How can this demon give punishment if he was happy?" and went to his desk.
