Business Proposal 2.0

"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?!
