A Thoughtful Surprise
Before the wedding, Mrs. Cha had a special surprise for the newlyweds. One evening, as Seol-A and Hyeon-Woo were finalizing their wedding plans, a letter arrived from Mrs. Cha. It was elegantly sealed with the family crest, and Seol-A's curiosity was piqued.
As they read the letter together, they discovered that Mrs. Cha had planned an extravagant honeymoon for them in Japan. The letter detailed a luxurious itinerary, including stays at renowned ryokans (traditional inns), visits to historic temples, and a private guided tour of Kyoto. It was clear that Mrs. Cha had spared no expense in making their honeymoon unforgettable.
"We've been given the gift of an amazing honeymoon," Hyeon-Woo said, his eyes twinkling with excitement. "I can't wait to experience Japan with you."
Seol-A smiled, touched by Mrs. Cha's thoughtfulness. "It sounds incredible. I'm looking forward to it."
Honeymoon in Japan
The day after the wedding, Seol-A and Hyeon-Woo boarded a flight to Japan, their excitement palpable. Their first stop was a traditional ryokan in Kyoto, where they were welcomed with warm hospitality and stunning views of the surrounding gardens.
Their days were filled with exploring ancient temples, strolling through picturesque streets, and savoring delicious Japanese cuisine. One day, they visited a serene bamboo grove, where they took a leisurely walk, hand in hand, and enjoyed the tranquility of their surroundings.
Unexpected Office Chaos
Back in Seoul, the Cha Group office was buzzing with activity, and chaos ensued in the absence of Hyeon-Woo and Seol-A. The staff, accustomed to the presence of their dynamic leaders, found themselves struggling with a series of unexpected issues:
The Missing File: The morning after the honeymoon began, the office encountered a major issue: a crucial project file had gone missing. The project was a high-stakes venture that required immediate attention, and the absence of Hyeon-Woo's decisive leadership left the staff scrambling to resolve the problem. The office was filled with frantic phone calls, hurried meetings, and a sense of mounting frustration.
Mishaps with the New Interns: The new interns, who had recently joined the team, were still getting accustomed to the office's workflow. With Hyeon-Woo and Seol-A away, they were left to manage tasks without the usual guidance. This led to several amusing mishaps, including an incorrectly filed report that ended up on the CEO's desk and an overzealous attempt to organize the supply closet that resulted in a temporary shortage of essential office supplies.
The Scheduling Mix-Up: An urgent client meeting, which had been scheduled before the wedding, was accidentally double-booked. The confusion led to a hilarious series of mix-ups as the staff tried to coordinate with multiple parties, all while maintaining a professional demeanor. The sight of employees running around with stacks of papers and phones glued to their ears was both chaotic and comical.
Unexpected Visitors: The office also received a surprise visit from several high-profile business associates who had been scheduled to meet with Hyeon-Woo. Without their usual host, the associates were greeted by a flurry of staff trying to manage the situation. The staff's attempts to entertain and impress the visitors resulted in a series of amusing and awkward encounters, including an impromptu lunch that featured an assortment of mismatched dishes and an accidental mix-up with the wine selection.
Despite the chaos, the staff worked tirelessly to resolve the issues and ensure that the company continued to function smoothly. Their efforts, though often humorous, were a testament to their dedication and resilience.
A Well-Deserved Break
Meanwhile, on their honeymoon, Seol-A and Hyeon-Woo were blissfully unaware of the office turmoil. Their time together was filled with joy, relaxation, and new experiences. They enjoyed quiet moments of reflection and laughter, strengthening their bond as a couple.
One evening, as they watched the sunset from the terrace of their ryokan, Hyeon-Woo turned to Seol-A, his gaze filled with contentment. "I'm glad we had this time together," he said. "It's been perfect."
Seol-A nodded, her heart full. "It has been amazing. And I know things will be just fine back at the office."
As they embraced, the stresses of their responsibilities seemed miles away, and the beauty of their honeymoon provided a much-needed escape.
Returning to Reality
Upon their return to Seoul, Seol-A and Hyeon-Woo were greeted with the full story of the office chaos. They listened with amusement and empathy as their staff recounted the events that had unfolded in their absence.
"Looks like you've all had quite an adventure," Hyeon-Woo said with a chuckle.
The staff, though relieved to have their leaders back, couldn't help but share a collective sigh of relief and laughter at the memories of the past few weeks.
As Seol-A and Hyeon-Woo settled back into their roles, they appreciated the balance of their personal and professional lives, knowing that their journey together was just beginning.
