"Minjeong, I wouldn’t have won the award earlier without you by my side all these years. So, in turn, I would like to offer you a gift. Feel free to request anything you desire, except for myself, of course—I am not an option," Karina chuckled, gazing out the window.

Minjeong paused, then turned to face Karina. "As always, Karina, your sense of timing is impeccable."

"Of course it is. So wh—" Karina began, but Minjeong swiftly interrupted.

"Find a new manager, I am resigning, effective immediately. I will be handing in my two weeks' notice," Minjeong stated firmly.

Karina looked at Minjeong She must be joking, I’ll play along "You want me to do what? Why?" feigning disbelief.

Minjeong maintained a serene smile. "Please find a new manager, Jimin. It's for personal reasons."

Oh.

Jimin,

she’s serious..

Jimin's expression tightened as she frowned at her recently ex-manager.

"An unconventional choice for a gift, Miss Kim. If that's what you want, it makes no difference to me." Karina responded, her tone slightly curt.

Wherein Kim Minjeong, Karina’s faithful manager of 6 years, tells her she wants to quit, she finds the news hard to swallow. For professional reasons, of course.
