EPISODE - 1 PART - 2 (MISTREATMENT)
I was afraid to be judged
So I hide amongst the regular
As Kim Ji-hyun approached the entrance of her company, a careless girl bumped into her, pushing her slightly off balance, but fortunately, she managed to steady herself without falling.
choi ji-min
Oh, sor... I mean... never mind.
Kim ji-hyun
*steadies herself*
The girl didn't even bother to apologize, a gesture that didn't surprise Kim Ji-hyun, as she had grown accustomed to being treated with indifference.
Later, as she rushed to catch the elevator, she found herself facing closed doors, despite her haste.
Kim ji-hyun
*rushes to catch the elevator* "Wait!"
Kim ji-hyun
*sighs* "Seriously?"
The people inside didn't make an effort to hold the elevator for her, but when another girl arrived, they readily stopped it for her.
Kim Ji-hyun couldn't help but feel that she was often treated as an outcast, someone who didn't warrant consideration.
However, instead of taking the elevator, she decided to climb the stairs to the 4th floor, feeling a sense of satisfaction and independence as she reached her destination before her colleagues.
As she entered the editing department, she was met with a chorus of "Happy Birthday,"
But her colleagues quickly realized they had mistaken her for someone else.

Oh, sorry! We thought you were... someone else.
A gentle-voiced colleague asked her to step outside and wait, his tone polite but still dismissive, leaving Kim Ji-hyun with a sense of being an unwelcome presence.
park min soo
Kim Ji-hyun, could you please step outside for a moment?
Kim ji-hyun
Alright... Sure.
Kim ji-hyun
*getting angry*
Kim ji-hyun
(kim ji-hyun, calm down)
As Kim Ji-hyun stepped outside, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over her.
The awkward moment had passed, but the feeling of being an outsider lingered.
As she stood there, lost in thought, the gentle-voiced colleague, whose name was Min-soo, approached her.
park min soo
Ji-hyun, I'm so sorry about the confusion earlier. We were actually celebrating Oh Ji-hye's birthday.
before she could even finish the sentence the team leader kim came shouting at everyone
The team leader's sudden arrival and loud reprimand caught everyone off guard.
Team leader kim (editor in chief)
What's going on here?
the team leader, thundered, his voice echoing through the room.
Team leader kim (editor in chief)
The CEO's son will be arriving at 10:00 and here you all are celebrating? Go back to work!
The room fell silent as the team quickly dispersed, returning to their stations.
"Sorry, Team Leader," one of the team members stammered.
team leader kim's gaze landed on Kim Ji-hyun.
Team leader kim (editor in chief)
And you, get back to work! We can't afford to have you standing around when the CEO's son arrives. Do you know how important this meeting is?
Kim Ji-hyun felt a surge of annoyance at team leader kim's tone.
Kim ji-hyun
Yes, Team Leader.
team leader kim's expression remained stern.
Team leader kim (editor in chief)
I expect everyone to be focused and prepared. We can't afford any mistakes today.
The team scrambled to comply, their movements swift and efficient. The atmosphere in the room was tense, with an undercurrent of anxiety.
oh ji-hye
Hey, Kim...Ji-hyun?, um....can you sweep the staircase?
Kim Ji-hyun nodded, trying to remain calm.
the requests kept piling up. "Kim Ji-hyun, can you take the trash out?" "Kim Ji-hyun, can you buy some coffee?"
Meanwhile, the team members whispered to each other behind her back.
choi ji-min
I don't know how she manages to dress herself every morning
oh ji-hye
She's just so... weird.
kang soyeon
I know, right?
kang soyeon
And have you seen her hair? It's like she stuck her finger in a socket.
Kim Ji-hyun's face remained neutral, but her eyes flashed with anger. She took a deep breath and focused on her work, trying to ignore the snickers and whispers.
