상사 지시 거절 뒤 심장이 뛰기 시작했습니다 [.txt]

Following her supervisor's cold response, Jae-hyeon has faced a three-week waiting game to see if his actions will provoke a retaliation from his boss. Jae-hyeon continues his original duties, while his supervisor displays a cool demeanor, interspersed with moments of encouragement. The emotional ups and downs remain consistent, but Jae-hyeon is uncertain if his supervisor truly harbors resentment and intends retribution.

It's possible that Jae-hyeon's growing anxiety stems from a fear that someone might view him unfavorably due to his refusal. Jae-hyeon hopes that no matter what decision he makes, he won't lose the admiration of others. His unease is likely fueled by the fact that his supervisor's treatment of him isn't improving. Jae-hyeon would feel reassured if the supervisor's response were warmer, like his parents showing concern.

However, the supervisor's continued coolness only exacerbates Jae-hyeon's feelings of inadequacy. The supervisor's behavior further tarnishes Jae-hyeon's self-image, making him question whether he's been perceived negatively by others. Jae-hyeon's mental state oscillates between the belief that he has done nothing wrong and the notion that his supervisor is a bad person.

This internal conflict prevents Jae-hyeon from finding peace. Jae-hyeon's inner turmoil is a constant struggle between self-doubt and the desire for others to validate his actions.
