“Just work on this program, okay?” Suwoong’s new supervisor, Wonjun, smiled at him reassuringly. “Let me know when you’re finished.” 

“Okay. Thank you, sir. I’ll get it done ASAP,” the young man grinned nervously, his eyes widening as he turned back to the computer screen. He had done this exact task several times at home and also in training, so he was confident in his ability. The part that was making him nervous was having his boss sitting next to him, watching. Turning all of his attention to the screen, he opened a file and began typing. His tension lessened when he noticed Wonjun stand up and exit the room.
