In her administrative job at the Academy, she silently tolerates office politics and the absurdities of Korean bureaucracy. Forever only one misplaced email away from career catastrophe, she effectively becomes a master of the silent eye roll and the tactical coffee run. But all her efforts to endure her superiors and the semihostile work environment they create are upended when a new intern, Gyuok Lee, arrives. Like a pacifist version of V in V for Vendetta, Gyuok recruits a trio of office allies to carry out plans for minor revenge. Together, these four 'rebels' commit tiny protests against those in more powerful positions through spraying graffiti, throwing eggs, and writing anonymous expos Ás. But as their attacks increase, the initial joy they felt at the release becomes something more, and Jihye and the others will discover the beauty of friendship and the extraordinary power of unity against adversity"--Dust jacket flap | | °ê»Ú¼Ð·Ç®Ñ¸¹(ISBN) | 9780063378100 hbk..
