Chapter 39 – Episode 39 – Workplace Administrator Rights
“Ceeeee…”
Hye-ri left KakaoTalk messages and messenger messages to Choi Hyun-min all day, but all of them were read, so Hye-ri was just staring at the monitor without doing any of the assigned work throughout the workday.
‘Ji puts the work in first’
A few meals and a movie. Now, it was an important time to slowly transition from a relationship to a relationship. Hye-ri, who had been thinking of accepting her light skinship, finds her hands and feet trembling due to Hyeon-min’s one-sided indifference.
Is it because I always get contacted by men? Hyeri never thought that her communication would be ignored like this.
‘That’s how it’s going to come out, right?’
Hye-ri becomes more annoyed by Hyeon-min’s indifference to her. If it had been like her past, she would have just played it cool and said it was an incident, but [Her crush on Hyeon-min], Amplified by her work system, makes her squeamish. She was different from her usual self, but Hyeri didn’t realize it.
“Uh? “Hyeri, aren’t you coming home from work?”
Normally, she turns off her PC at 5:50 and prepares to leave for work, but when she stays past 6 o’clock, her team members say something incredulous.
“Ah… I’m going to leave work with a friend from another department today.”
“Is it so? “I’ll go in first.”
One by one, the members of her department leave work, but Hyeri remains steadfast. Looking at her like that from the seat next to her, Hyunwoo realizes what the situation is.
‘Choi Hyun-min must be working overtime.’
When I searched the messenger, as expected, Hyeonmin was still logged in. It was only natural that Kim Hye-ri, who was on the disappointing side, would wait for him.
‘Kkekeut then, have a hard time.’
“Hyeri, then I will leave work first too. See you tomorrow.”
“Yes, Manager Lee, please come in.”
Kim Hye-ri stares intently at her monitor, then she smiles and says hello to Hyun-woo. Her habitual eye smile would thrill many men, but she was acting like a fox that did not work for Hyeon-woo, who knew her true feelings.
Has it been about an hour or two since everyone in the department left work?
‘Uh? I guess I’m leaving work now.’
It wasn’t until around 9 o’clock that Choi Hyun-min’s messenger was logged out. Hye-ri leaves her office as if she had been waiting. She finally meets Choi Hyeon-min, who is leaving work in the lobby on the first floor.
“I’m Choi Joo-im!”
“… Ah, Hyeri.”
Normally, Hyun-min would have somehow seduced Hye-ri, whom he ran into by chance, and taken her to a drinking party, but he doesn’t have the stamina to do so now. After working overtime and working all day, the only thing on his mind was getting off work.
“Why are you coming home from work so late?”
“I have a lot of work to do these days… What about Hyeri?”
“I somehow ended up like that hehe.”
“Oh, Chief Choi, have you had dinner? Are you hungry? Me too!! Since you bought me dinner at the movies last time, I’ll buy you dinner today!”
Hyeri speaks generously. However, even if she buys food first, Hyeonmin’s expression does not change much.
“Oh, I’m sorry, what should I do? I had a quick meal while working earlier. Let’s eat dinner later. “Us.”
Hyeonmin’s unexpected rejection. But Kim Hye-ri does not give up.
“You ate it first… Then make sure to eat it next time.”
“Oh, then can you give me a ride home? “You said last time that you would take me to see the car.”
Hyeon-min secretly boasted about her foreign car in order to impress Hye-ri.
‘No way, even though it’s this late, they’ll give me a ride.’
‘Ha… I’m dying of bother. If I take you there, it will take another 30 minutes to go back.’
Hyunmin’s condition, who has been suffering from the new system for several days, is literally the worst.
[Like] For Kim Hye-ri – Decrease activation
In the end, Hyunwoo’s decreased [Likeability] Also played a role.
“Whoa… Hyeri, I’m having a really hard time. “I’ll go first today.”
Hyun-min ruthlessly rejects Hye-ri. Hyeri’s expression, which was looking at Hyunmin with charming eyes like a cat in boots, suddenly turns cold. Either way, Hyeonmin turns around and walks away from her.
“Uh… Uh… Mr. Lee. Manager Lee!!!”
Kim Hye-ri’s sorrowful voice resonates inside the building where all the employees have left work.
* * *
There is no tree that cannot be taken ten times. Hyeri Kim thought so. From a young age she always made whoever she wanted her own.
She was embarrassed at first. She was a fairly decent man, and at first he approached her as aggressively as any other man. But should we try to advance the relationship a little? The moment he thought that, Hyeonmin suddenly changed 180 degrees.
He gave up his pride and tried to hang on, but the more he tried, the colder his attitude towards him became.
“Ha… Really stop contacting me. And I blocked you.”
Choi Hyun-min’s frustration finally burst out after holding it in for so long. The gift I worked so hard to prepare is scattered on the floor. Feeling sadness, anger, and shame, Hye-ri glares at Hyeon-min, who is walking away.
She already knew. Messages exchanged during an exciting movie theater date. She no longer feels the [Liking] She felt back then. Okay. This is [Obsession]. She knows, but she can’t control her feelings.
* * *
“Hey Hyunwoo Lee.”
“Why?”
“There’s a gorgeous intern on your team.”
“Hye-ri Kim? But why?”
“Is there something wrong with his personality?”
“Hmm… I don’t have any problems with my personality, but I’m a poor person who doesn’t do much work.”
Jaehoon meets in the smoking room and immediately asks about Hyeri Kim.
“You know, right? “Hyeri likes that junkie on our team?”
“Hey, that’s what I told you before. And is there anyone in the company who doesn’t know that these days? Even elementary school students would know.”
“No, Choi Hyun-min, is that bastard really a eunuch? I ate it yum yum yum and it was delicious. “Twenty years old, more than ginseng, more than wild ginseng!”
“You crazy bastard… Leave it alone. “They say they don’t like it.”
“Ha… There are a lot of people who are very hungry. Hey. Let’s have a meal with Hyeri. “I can do better than that idiot Choi Hyun-min.”
“Kkkk, don’t even talk. “He’s really in a low mood these days because of Choi Hyun-min.”
As if he had no remorse, Hyun-woo slyly answers Jae-hoon. As Jaehoon said, it was such a hot issue that there is no employee in the company these days who don’t know how active Kim Hye-ri’s dashing is.
“Hey, he’s not even helpful.”
“My nose is the size of a stone. Hey. I’m going in.”
Hyunwoo returns to his seat and activates the work system on his smartphone.

[Psychological Message]
[Irritated] About responsible system management – Enable amplification
[Unfavorable opinion] Toward Kim Hye-ri – Activate amplification
Moderate stress and the emotions of two people going astray. A great dish is completed with just a few ingredients.
The fluttering of a small butterfly’s wings, or rather a few touches, became a typhoon that tore apart the relationship between Hyeri and Hyeonmin. As the development unfolds faster than expected, Hyunwoo once again realizes the greatness of the [Emotional manipulation] Of the work system.
In the case of Kim Hye-ri, her [Liking] For Choi Hyun-min quickly escalated into [Obsession]. As her relationship with him became more distant, her excitement about her internship also turned into irritation.
Hyeon-woo was afraid that Hye-ri might quit the company, so he reduced his feelings of irritation about Hye-ri’s life as an intern. Nevertheless, looking at Hyeri’s expression, her initial lively appearance is nowhere to be seen.
In Choi Hyun-min’s case, his [Liking] For Hyeri was overturned to [Disliking]. Kim Hye-ri’s frequent contacts, showing no interest in the sensitive situation due to her already overwhelming workload, led to this result. Thanks to this, Hyeon-min has come to the point where he makes an impression on Kim Hye-ri and avoids her whenever he meets her in the hallway.
Hyeon-min’s reaction completely shattered Kim Hye-ri’s confident mentality. It takes only a moment for her self-esteem, which she had built up using her appearance as a weapon, to collapse.
And now Hyunwoo got what he wanted.
When your mentality reaches its lowest level, you can transfer the object of your emotions from the work system to yourself. And with a few simple touches, Hyun-woo changes the object of Kim Hye-ri’s feelings to himself.
[Obsessed with] Choi Hyun-min → [Obsessed with] Lee Hyun-woo
‘But [Obsession] Is a bit scary.’
Thinking of a scene from the movie Misery, Hyunwoo quickly
[Obsessed with Lee Hyeon-woo] – Reduce activation (new!)
Reduces Kim Hye-ri’s [Obsession].
‘Okay… Now I’m starting to bite…’
“Mr. Lee!”
‘Oh, it’s a fucking surprise.’
As soon as she puts down her smartphone, Kim Hye-ri turns her head from the seat next to her and calls out to her. Hyun-woo, who is startled by the fact that the thief is on his own, tries to remain calm.
“Why… Why? Hyeri.”
“Let’s go have lunch together today.”
She whispers in Hyun-woo’s ear in case other members of her department hear. Thanks to this, she can smell the mild lavender-scented shampoo. Perhaps because he is young, the pleasant smell of his flesh makes him feel good even without wearing strong perfume.
‘As expected, young women are gangsters.’
“Of course.”
Hyunwoo answers bluntly, trying to hide the corners of his mouth that rise in triumph. Hye-ri had asked him to buy her lunch several times, but she had never been this friendly to Hyeon-woo.
Due to manipulation of the work system, Hyeri’s [Obsession] With Hyeonmin has now transferred to Hyunwoo.
Hehe.”
Hyeri smiles happily, even gently touching her eye smile. I know that smile is fake, but still
‘Well, it’s cute.’
Because of her beauty, Hyunwoo was completely relaxed by her smile.
I was a little worried about Hyeri’s [Obsession], But their lunch atmosphere was better than I expected.
“This is my assistant manager. I just eat it every day, and next time I’ll treat it to you once.”
“Oh, that’s it. “I eat my liver from fleas, but I eat my food from interns.”
“Ah… You bought me a lot, but I also get paid! Don’t ignore it?”
“If you’re really sorry, I’ll buy it later.”
“Yes~”
Has Kim Hye-ri, who is used to receiving favors from men, ever open her wallet? When she joined the company, Hyunwoo bought her food a few times, but he never said he would buy her food first.
Hyeri buys her food first
‘This may also be an effect of the work system.’
Anyway, there is nothing wrong with Ji wanting to buy me food first. So, without much thought, Hyunwoo began to focus on the stir-fried pork in front of him.
The problem started after that.
– Wooooow
– What are you doing, assistant manager?
– Today’s lunch was so delicious~
– When should I eat next?
– Do you have a personal gram? Follow me right away.
Hyunwoo’s phone keeps dropping like a rotor stuck in Eunseol’s vagina. Since he didn’t receive any messages other than his department’s group chat room, he was completely distracted by Hyeri’s aggressive message bombardment.
She responded briefly and Hyeri continued to send messages.
‘You’ve reduced [Obsession] Now, right?’
By reducing [Obsession] To this extent, it is scary to even imagine what they would have done to Choi Hyun-min.
‘Still, let’s take it in moderation.’
One-sided [Obsession] Can turn into madness at any time. In order to resolve Hyeri’s [Obsession], Hyunwoo’s own response is important.
“Haa…”
Hyun-woo, who is well aware of the effects of psychological manipulation through the work system, had to exchange wits all day to relieve Hye-ri’s [Obsession].
The result of several meals and endless loops of snacking all night long
[User: Kim Hye-ri]
[Age: 20] [Height: 161] [Weight: 46]
[Stamina: 9/10] [Attractiveness: 8(+1)/10] [Liberty: 3/10] [Mental: 4(-4)/10]
[Satisfaction: Locked] [Likeability: Locked]
[Psychological Message]
[Excitement] About intern life – new!
[Expectations] For a drama-like romance – new!
[Crush] For Lee Hyeon-woo – new!
Is it because Hyun-woo is able to moderately repair her broken mentality thanks to Choi Hyun-min? Fortunately, Hyeri’s mysterious [Obsession] Disappeared.
And the emotional vacuum transformed into [A crush on] Lee Hyun-woo. If Choi Hyun-min had properly accepted Hyeri’s affectionate attacks, he would have become the object of [Favor].
Hyunwoo ended up putting Kim Hye-ri under his control by manipulating the [Psychological messages] Of the work system.
