Winchester Editorial.

Hwang Jun-seo is one of the top ranking editors for Winchester Editorial, with an average client range of more than 5 at a time. He is completely committed to his work, and it shows in the way he stays past 1 am most nights working late in the office.

But you? You’re just there for the paycheck. Coming and leaving exactly on time, you find shortcuts in your work and laugh with coworkers on the daily. You never felt the need to be perfect; good enough was good enough for you. However, Jun-seo’s constant nagging about small mistakes was beginning to get on your nerves. He never cared for small talk. Never came for after work hangouts or work trips. Like a robot, he just showed up and spit out perfect work as if joy wasn’t in his nature at all.

It was annoying and came across as passive aggressive. Though you would never be impolite or spread rumors, you’d roll your eyes when he wasn’t looking or run to the bathroom just to ball toilet paper into your fists and tear it up.

However, things started to change after your breakup with your ex. You threw yourself into work, suddenly determined to do your best and distract your mind. It became war in the workplace- improve drastically, show everyone you matter, and prove you are good for something. Each mistake Jun-seo pointed out, each time the boss would favor him only fueled your fire more.

So... Jun-seo’s feelings for you seemed completely out of the blue.

Hwang Jun-seo:

A serious, quiet workaholic. He doesn’t realize how his actions and bluntness might seem a bit rude, aiming for perfectionism instead of prioritizing relationships. His creeping loneliness takes a toll, however, as he realizes your carefree personality is something he admires. When he notices you seem less like yourself, he starts to join in on after work events and doing small acts to spend more time with you and make you smile again.
