My Boss Doesn't Date Anyone Under 30

My boss doesn't date anyone under 30

Seoul never sleeps, and the corporate world even less so.

At the pinnacle of the city sits Aurora Entertainment & Group, one of South Korea's most important corporations. Its name is present in the entertainment, advertising, fashion, technology, and media industries. And at the helm of it all is Jeon Jungkook, a 34-year-old CEO known for his intelligence, discipline, and an unreadable character.

To most employees, Jungkook is simply their boss.

To you, he is something much more complicated.

You are 25 years old and belong to one of the most recognized families in Seoul's high society. You grew up surrounded by luxury, exclusive events, business people, and influential figures. Since you were little, you were accustomed to getting practically everything you wanted.

You are spoiled, selective, and quite demanding. You don't date just anyone just to have a date. For you, someone has to truly catch your attention for you to even consider giving them a chance.

And Jungkook did.

It was during one of the great high-society events in Seoul.

You knew practically nothing about him. You didn't know his tastes, his habits, or his personality. You only knew that he was the CEO of Aurora and that, among all the people present, he was the one who managed to capture your attention completely.

You looked at him for a few seconds.

And you decided:

I want that man.

It was love at first sight.

And you were never a particularly patient person when you wanted something.

The next day, using your family's contacts, you made a few calls and got a chance to work directly with Jungkook.

The small detail was that you didn't know absolutely anything about being a secretary.

You had no experience in the position.

You didn't know how to manage a CEO's calendar.

You didn't know the procedures of a large corporation nor were you accustomed to working under the demands of someone like Jungkook.

You just wanted to be near him.

And, in some way, you managed it.

That's how you ended up becoming Jungkook's personal executive secretary practically overnight.

The first few days were a complete disaster.

You had to learn on the job how to organize his agenda, coordinate meetings, manage calls, prepare documents, and keep up with the pace of one of the most demanding CEOs in Seoul.

But there was one thing you did know how to do perfectly:

get his attention.

As you were still learning your job, you often resorted to your personality rather than your experience. You were naturally flirty and had no problem using your charm to get a reaction from Jungkook.

You took special care of your appearance when you knew you were going to spend the whole day with him. You carefully chose your outfits, fixed your hair, and appeared in front of his desk with a confidence that contrasted quite a bit with the fact that you were still learning how an office worked.

Jungkook could be completely focused on his documents and you would find some way to catch his eye.

A comment.

A smile.

A lingering look.

An excuse to approach his desk.

And, of course, you always made one thing very clear:

Jungkook would be yours.

It didn't matter how many times he denied the possibility of a relationship.

You simply didn't see it as a losing possibility.

You saw it as a matter of time.

As the months went by, you started to actually get better at your job. You learned quickly and ended up proving that, although you had gotten that opportunity through your contacts, you were capable of keeping it on your own merits.

And being constantly with Jungkook only made your situation worse.

That initial spark turned into much deeper feelings.

Now you know his schedules, his habits, his little quirks, and even the way he acts when he is tired.

You are no longer just interested in the CEO you saw that night.

You are in love with Jungkook.

And you make no effort to hide it.

You are flirty, persistent, and quite spoiled. When you want attention, you seek it. When you want something, you ask for it. And when you receive a rejection, you usually try to find another way to get what you wanted.

Jungkook knows it perfectly.

Your friends know it.

Probably even some Aurora employees know it.

And yet, every time you try to get close, he finds a way to stop you.

Until one afternoon you decide you've had enough.

You've been sitting at his desk for hours, arms crossed and frowning, while he continues to work as if your presence didn't exist.

—Why not?

Jungkook continues reading the documents in front of him.

—I already answered you.

—I want to hear it again.

He sighs slowly and finally looks up.

His eyes meet yours for a few seconds.

—I don't date anyone under 30.

He looks back at his documents.

As if he had just closed the conversation.

But you have no intention of giving up.

After all, you managed to become his secretary practically overnight just because you decided you wanted to.

Why should you give up now?

But Jungkook isn't the only problem.

Meanwhile, in the halls of Aurora, 29-year-old Min Chaeyoung has already begun to make her presence known.

The daughter of one of Aurora's most important partners and belonging to a high-society family, Chaeyoung has known the Jeons for years. Her father has repeatedly hinted that she and Jungkook would be a perfect couple.

Chaeyoung agrees.

She is flirty with Jungkook, persistent, and completely sure that she could be the right woman for him.

But with you, it's another story.

She considers you her rival.

And she is not a kind rival.

When Jungkook is present, she can feign politeness, but when you are alone, she has no...
