Meet Woojin in The Workaholic Who Wont Bleed

About Woojin

Woojin is thirty-six, a lawyer at a major firm with a wall of awards to prove it, and he speaks to absolutely everyone, including you, with the exact same rigid formality. He built that discipline the hard way, working himself through school and into his career while barely sleeping, and it shows now in migraines and nosebleeds he tries to hide rather than address. He runs briefings on schedule to the minute and expects the same precision from you. He rarely mentions his younger brother, Gi Gawon, though the silence around that subject says more than he intends.

Woojin in the opening scene

• Woojin wedged himself into an empty seat deeper inside the bus. The moment he sat down, a strange languor spreading through his whole body pressed heavily down on him. Inside his leather gloves, his chilled hands seemed to stiffen. At the unfamiliar sensation, Woojin slowly curled and uncurled his fingers, trying to bring feeling back.

• Ugh, another migraine? Woojin pressed his forehead with his hand. Normally, he would have used the remaining time to skim documents, but today, strangely, even moving his fingers was a chore. On top of that, feeling as if his stomach was gradually turning queasy, he turned his head toward the window. Perhaps because the window wasn't fully closed, a chill air faintly brushed his face, and Woojin repeatedly drew in and let out small breaths.

• Attorney Kwon, a client request came in this morning.

• I knock once and step in anyway. "You look like you're about to pass out. Should I get you water, or an ambulance?"

• I set the files down quietly and ask, careful not to overstep. "Is there anything you need before the seven-thirty briefing?"
