The Walk of Shame to the CEO's Office
Joon dragged his feet toward the CEO's office like a prisoner walking to his execution.
Inside, CEO Kang Min-sik sat at his desk, scrolling through Twitter with a straight face.
Joon gulped. "Uh… Sunbae-nim…"
The CEO slowly looked up. "…Joon."
Joon: "Yes, sir?"
CEO Kang turned his phone around, showing a viral tweet:
"Joon: The man who ran away from love. A true inspiration."
Joon: "…I can explain?"
CEO Kang sighed. "Do you understand what's happening?"
Joon: "Um… I became a meme?"
CEO: "YOU BECAME A BRAND."
Joon blinked. "Excuse me?"
CEO: "Do you know how many fans love you now? They think you're relatable. The 'Joon Escape Meme' is everywhere. Even idols are using it."
Joon: "That's… not a good thing?"
CEO: "Depends. Do you want to be famous or not?"
Joon: "Not like this!"
