"Yes. I'm her boyfriend."
Silence.
Boyfriend?
BOYFRIEND?!
EXCUSE ME, SIR?!
I was your underpaid, overworked employee five minutes ago.
At what point did I get promoted to girlfriend without signing the contract?!?
I turned to look at Hanuel, hoping he'd laugh it off. Maybe he'd assume this was a prank.
But no.
Hanuel was looking at me like I just ran off with his limited-edition Rolex.
"W-Wow… that's… great…" he muttered.
Why does his voice sound like someone just ran over his childhood dreams?
"Haha… no, no, he's just fooling around! I'm not his girl—" I started damage control, but before I could finish—
"Jagi! I told you, it's alright. You don't have to lie!" Mr. Jeon suddenly interrupted me, in the softest, most boyfriend-ish voice I've ever heard.
I turned to him, horrified.
Sir, WHAT?!
'Jagi'?
BRO, THIS IS NOT NETFLIX.
DO YOU THINK WE'RE IN BUSINESS PROPOSAL 2.0?!
