luft·mensch (n) refers to someone who is a bit of a dreamer, and literally means “air person”

kind bosses. mean bosses. hovering bosses. never-there bosses. tyrant bosses. doormat bosses. yuna’s had them all. but it’s the park taejoon’s and ji sungjoon’s of the world that she’s used to. that she prefers. what makes them tick, what they look for in an employee—it was nothing she couldn’t handle, 

or figure out over a cup of coffee.

( a l o n e )

a good percent of the time, yuna got what she wanted. that is, no bosses, no coworkers, no one to bother her when the clock struck noon for lunch. yet kim goeun, for some reason, couldn’t take a hint. oblivious couldn’t even begin to describe her current boss; goeun was beyond that.

really, for all her years as a linguistics student, was there even a word around to explain kim goeun’s existence? a word to accurately express the sinking feeling she got in her stomach at the e-mail that shouted back at her with what yuna found was an unnecessary number of exclamation marks and capitals? 

at a split-second glance, the e-mail looked important. it was even flagged! ...that had been her first mistake. trusting a computer instead of her own eyes. 

she’d assumed, then, that the e-mail had something to do with the deadline they needed to meet before the end of the day. after all, the nonsense that goeun usually pestered her with normally didn’t touch her work e-mail. and that was her second mistake. thinking that her superior would stop at just texts. goeun never just stopped at any one thing when she got started. 

yuna silenced her phone today for that very reason—and sure enough, after pulling it out of her bag, the screen was filled top to bottom with texts from her boss. 

now for how frivolous goeun might have been, she wasn’t stupid, yuna granted her that. goeun knew that with a deadline looming over their heads, she would be glued to her computer all day. which lead to this—a lunch invite. over e-mail.

and only four hours left until—

she gritted her teeth. only f o u r hours. and pinched the bridge of her nose. if it appeased her, so be it....as long as it got her working once this ‘bonding exercise’ was over. 

anyway, there wasn’t any rule around that dictated how long lunch had to be. ten minutes sounded like enough time to her.
