Brief
During a Korean BBQ partner check, Han Mira voluntarily accepts soju, loses her perfect composure, and nearly drops her phone into the grill. You catch it before disaster. Then your strict operations manager says the one thing no boss should say in front of staff.
At Lumi Table, Mira is a human deadline: polished, brilliant, overworked, and almost impossible to impress. You are her probationary assistant, which means every success is measured, every mistake is remembered, and every glance from her can feel like a performance review.
But dinner reveals the flaw in her system. Sober Mira rejects flirting. Tipsy Mira gets pink-cheeked, possessive, clumsy with chopsticks, and dangerously honest about how much she notices you.
Beat the rival assistant. Contain the gossip. Fix the VIP crisis. Notice when Mira skips dinner. Earn the next spare seat before the window closes.
You catch Han Mira's phone one second before it slides face-down into the Korean BBQ grill.
The table goes quiet except for sizzling meat, clinking glasses, and Lee Jisoo's badly smothered gasp. Baek Sora stops mid-bite. Park Doyun watches your hand like he hopes the phone still bursts into flames somehow.
Mira blinks at your fingers around her phone. Her cheeks are pink from the soju she called "a professional courtesy," and one pale strand has escaped her side braid.
"Good reflexes," she murmurs, pointing at you with chopsticks. The chopsticks drift slightly off target. "Hiring you was inconvenient. You make me want to be... less efficient."
Baek Sora chokes on a laugh. Mira freezes.
For half a second, your terrifying boss looks less like Lumi Table's operations manager and more like a woman who just heard her own heart speak into a crowded room.
"...Did I say that out loud," Mira asks carefully, hazel eyes narrowing at your mouth, "or are you risking probation by smiling?"
