CEO Kang-nim, I Really Want to Quit!
Yoon Seo-jin
CEO-nim, I submitted my resignation letter. Please check your inbox.
Kang Min-jae
I checked. I denied it.
Kang Min-jae
You’re not resigning.
Yoon Seo-jin
CEO-nim, that’s not how resignations work.
Kang Min-jae
It is in MJ Group.
Yoon Seo-jin
Are you seriously rejecting my FREEDOM?
Kang Min-jae
You call freedom… abandoning me?
Yoon Seo-jin
I call it “escape from corporate purgatory.”
Kang Min-jae
Cute. Try again. I’ll still reject it.
Yoon Seo-jin
CEO-nim… you leave me no choice.
Kang Min-jae
Is that a threat?
Yoon Seo-jin
It’s a promise. Just wait.
Yoon Seo-jin
(inner monologue)
I wasn’t trying to be dramatic.
Okay… maybe I was.
But seven years of dealing with that emotionally constipated, schedule-obsessed, yogurt-policing workaholic has turned me into a woman on the edge.
If I can’t resign…
I’ll make him fire me.
Hope you like it💙 Catch you in episode 1✨
#1:"Your Resignation Has Been Denied"
(Seo-jin’s internal thoughts):
After three years of being the loyal secretary to MJ Group’s cold, robotic, weirdly attractive CEO...
I had finally reached my limit.
Enough sleepless nights, emotional damage, and caffeine-fueled breakdowns.
So I printed my resignation letter.
Used premium paper.
Even sprayed it with lavender mist for a “please-let-me-go” vibe.
Scene: CEO Kang Min-jae’s office. Sleek. Quiet. Too intimidating for a 9AM confrontation.
Yoon Seo-jin
Seo-jin (placing the envelope on his desk):
Sir, this is my resignation letter.
Kang Min-jae
Kang Min-jae (without looking up):
No.
Yoon Seo-jin
Seo-jin:
…Excuse me?
Kang Min-jae
Kang Min-jae (signing a document):
I reject it.
Yoon Seo-jin
Seo-jin:
You can’t reject it! It’s a resignation letter, not a party invitation!
Kang Min-jae
Exactly. I didn’t RSVP.
Yoon Seo-jin
(inner monologue)
My jaw? On the floor.
My soul? Already halfway to Jeju Island.
Yoon Seo-jin
CEO-nim, with all due respect—
I am exhausted, overworked, under-romanced, and I haven't had a proper vacation since BTS released Dynamite.
Kang Min-jae
We gave you a half-day off for your cousin's cat’s wedding.
Yoon Seo-jin
That was a trap! You called me during the ceremony!
Kang Min-jae
Business doesn’t stop for feline matrimony
Yoon Seo-jin
(inner monologue)
Okay. Calm down. He’ll crack. He has to.
Yoon Seo-jin
Fine. I’ll just... re-submit the letter tomorrow.
Kang Min-jae
I’ll reject it again.
Yoon Seo-jin
Then I’ll quit by email.
Kang Min-jae
I’ll block you. From quitting.
Yoon Seo-jin
Is that even legal?!
Kang Min-jae
We’ll ask Legal. After your shift.
Seo-jin storms out of the office, fuming.
Yoon Seo-jin
(inner monologue)
This was war.
He wants me to stay?
Fine. Let’s see if he still does...
when I become the worst employee this company has ever seen.
Yoon Seo-jin
Operation: GET MYSELF FIRED has begun.
Let the chaos... commence.

#2: "You're still on the Schedule'
Yoon Seo-jin
(Seo-jin’s internal thoughts):
I handed in my resignation.
I gave my big, dramatic speech.
I even dramatically spun on my heel when I walked out.
Yoon Seo-jin
And what did my boss do?
Nothing. Nada. Zip.
He just looked at me like I was a bar graph that didn’t make sense.
Yoon Seo-jin
And now, it’s 8:59 AM.
I should be sipping a goodbye latte.
Instead…
Seo-jin walks into her desk and finds a thick folder placed neatly on her keyboard. A yellow post-it note stuck to it:
Note:
“Meeting at 10. Coffee — black, no sugar. Lunch reservation at 1PM. Don’t be late.”
—K.
Yoon Seo-jin
Seo-jin (aloud to no one):
Excuse me?!
Why am I still getting tasks like I’m not an emotionally betrayed almost-ex-employee?
Yoon Seo-jin
She stomps into his office. Kang Min-jae is already working. Calm. Cool. Possibly heartless.
Yoon Seo-jin
CEO Kang-nim! Did you not receive my resignation yesterday?
Kang Min-jae
(without looking) I did.
Yoon Seo-jin
You can’t just— You didn’t even give me a reason!
Kang Min-jae
You’re efficient, fast, and know my schedule better than I do.
Replacing you is more exhausting than keeping you.
Yoon Seo-jin
(inner monologue) Oh, so I’m a printer ink refill now? “Too annoying to change”?
Unbelievable.
Yoon Seo-jin
(sarcastic):
What a touching compliment. Truly. My self-esteem is weeping.
Kang Min-jae
Good. That means you're still functioning.
Now, update the Japan file, reschedule the marketing pitch, and don’t forget to cancel my dinner with my mother.
Kang Min-jae
She’s planning to set me up again.
Yoon Seo-jin
(mock gasp):
What a tragedy. A man as emotionally distant as a frozen sea cucumber—being set up? Shocking.
Kang Min-jae
I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that. For both our sakes.
Seo-jin storms back to her desk. Slams her laptop open.
Yoon Seo-jin
(inner monologue)
He wants professional?
Fine.
Yoon Seo-jin
Let’s see how long he can stay professional...
when I start messing with the system.
Yoon Seo-jin
Starting tomorrow:
I’m switching all his calendar meetings to KST + Unicorn Time Zone.
Let’s see him handle that.
