“[Just kidding. I miss you already.]”
My heart gently rippled. I whispered quietly, “Me too. I miss you too.”
It was at that moment when I was about to put those words exactly into the message box. The familiar station name rang in my ears. The broadcasting station was a considerable distance from the station. Even if I got off now, I had to run without stopping. So, if I pass this station now, being late is confirmed.
The conflicted hand closed the screen as it was. Jun, I’m sorry.
As soon as the subway doors opened, people scattered in all directions. I also urged my steps, digging into a corner. My heart was in a hurry. Swept here and there, I finally reached the exit. Now was the moment to run without a break.
Ah, why is this broadcasting station so far today…
It felt like my breath was hanging on my chin. Today, the broadcasting station building felt unusually heavy as I opened the front gate. Now, all I had to do was take the elevator across the long lobby…
Then, at that moment, I saw the figure of a familiar man standing in front of the elevator door I had to take.
Huh? Hyunsoo, Hyunsoo. Thank goodness. At least I won’t be late. I survived…
There was some distance because we were separated by the wide lobby. Fortunately, Hyunsoo seemed to recognize me, stopped, and was holding the elevator door. Moreover, it seemed like Hyunsoo was the only one in the elevator. I felt a little relieved. Thinking of going with the idea of catching my breath, I slowed down my walking speed.
But at that very moment…
Huh? What’s this, Kim Hyunsoo? Why are you closing the door?
Only then did I realize the unusual situation, and I started to roll my foot, which had been at ease. Now, the breath that was barely calming down quickly rose again. There was no time to dwell on that. Hyunsoo, who had been watching me, said,
“Two sandwiches from the broadcasting station.”
A ridiculously imposing voice echoed in the lobby. Hyunsoo’s V-shaped fingers, drawing two, could be seen. Hyunsoo had sent a deal. Astonishing. However, because of the breath that started to cling to my chin again, I couldn’t speak.
Then, the elevator door began to close menacingly.
Ah, Kim Hyunsoo. You really…
For a moment, I felt like just letting it go because of my wounded pride, but if I sent this elevator away in front of me, it would be an annoying timing to be late by a slight difference.
“Two, okay…”
The words uttered between rough breaths were like a password, and the door opened again. Hyunsoo, who successfully completed the business, stood there with a satisfied face.
“Miss Author, come on. We’ll be late.”
As soon as I got on the elevator, as if it had been waiting, the elevator went up.
“Sister, are you okay?”
Hyunsoo, placing his hand on my back, asked about my well-being amid my rough breathing. Seizing the opportunity, I raised my body and forcefully slapped Hyunsoo’s back. His expression seemed genuinely distorted. My right hand, which had hit Hyunsoo’s back, felt quite chilly.
“Oh? Are you two coming together? Did you meet in front?”
When I entered the office, Jung Eun asked as if nothing had happened.
“Oh, I brought this author up. From the first floor.”
“…Let me speak. Eat sandwiches and become a pig, Kim Hyunsoo.”
“Yes, thank you for the sandwich in advance.”
Hearing our childish conversation, Jung Eun chuckled without pressing for more details. Perhaps because she was used to such situations.
Although my heart was a bit hurt by the recent events, I decided not to dwell on it for long and turned on the computer messenger. I felt a sense of urgency to send the message to Jun, which I hadn’t been able to convey since earlier.
Tick, tock, tick, tock .
Forgetting the recent trivial matter, a light smile kept coming to my face as I composed the message.
[Me too. I miss you. Since earlier.]I had finished writing this and was about to press Enter when…
“Excuse me, this author.”
“Yes?”
I reflexively turned around. Mijeong stood in front of me, seeming apologetic for disturbing me.
“Oh, no. I’m not busy at all right now. What’s up?”
“Ah, then I’ll just take a moment.”
Mijeong stood in front of me with shyly flushed cheeks and a smile.
“I showed the content composition plan to PD Kang recently. Since PD Kang has come this far, he suggested adding my narration. So, I was writing the script now…”
I could guess the situation vaguely. Moreover, when the tail of the last sentence drooped, it was better for me to catch the intention first and follow up on that hint.
“So, does that mean you need sharp comments from a professional writer right now?”
“Yes, sharp… yes.”
The point where Mijeong interrupted was amusing, and laughter burst out.
“Yes, luckily, I’m not busy at all right now. I’ll see it right away. Is that the end over there?”
If Mijeong had any more questions, she could come to my desk anytime and knock on it, leaving that message behind. When there was nothing else from Mijeong, I returned to my seat.
