The next morning, on her way to work, Eunsu entered the café across from and immediately ran into Juhan.
“Sun Eunsu.”
“I’ll quit drinking.”
As soon as their eyes met, Eunsu took the initiative, leaving Juhan speechless. So, he just handed over the drink carrier he was holding. It contained three cups.
“For you, Lee Jaerim, Oh Manager.”
“Thank you, President.”
Eunsu respectfully accepted the carrier with both hands. Holding the carrier with her own and Soomin’s drinks, Juhan just looked at Eunsu with a bewildered expression.
The café owner chimed in.
“Didn’t you have a company dinner yesterday? The president was the first to arrive at work and even took care of hangover drinks for the employees. That’s rare welfare.”
“I think so too, Owner. Our president is truly one of a kind.”
Juhan nodded his head and turned around. The owner laughed.
“I guess Eunsu made a big mistake yesterday, huh? How drunk were you?”
“It’s not the alcohol that’s the enemy… it’s my hand holding the drink. I’ll drink well. Thank you.”
After nodding to the café owner, Eunsu quickly followed Juhan outside. Juhan, walking a half-step ahead, said without turning around.
“You saw the text, right?”
“What text? I barely woke up in time this morning.”
“I changed your home’s door lock code.”
“What? Why did you change my home’s lock code?”
Juhan stopped and turned around.
“You announced your home’s code to the whole neighborhood yesterday.”
Eunsu vaguely remembered yelling about being unable to enter her own home.
“Everyone in the adjacent and neighboring houses must have heard it, so I changed it. You can change it back later.”
“That was really smart. Thanks.”
You troublemaker…
With a look that contained those words, Juhan glanced down at Eunsu and resumed walking. Eunsu, eyeing his tall, black back, followed.
“But, there’s something I forgot to ask.”
Just before entering , Eunsu lightly grabbed Juhan’s sleeve.
“Did you tell your family about appearing on the show?”
Juhan didn’t respond. Guessing he hadn’t, Eunsu added.
“Shouldn’t you tell your mother the truth? She might misunderstand something.”
“…”
“It’s none of my business, but I just thought I’d mention it.”
Not really expecting a reply, Eunsu stepped forward and opened the door to . Juhan silently followed.
Jaerim, looking like a hungover zombie, smirked as he saw them enter together.
“Looks like you’re commuting together now. Just like newlyweds.”
“Lee Jaerim.”
As soon as Jaerim’s eyes met Juhan’s, he immediately sobered up.
“Sorry. I’ll abstain from alcohol for a month.”
“Sun Manager said she would quit drinking altogether. Are you lacking in conscience?”
“No, it’s more conscientious.”
Pointing at Eunsu, Jaerim’s eyes sparkled.
“Honestly, how can Sun Manager really quit drinking? It’s a lie. Lying is worse.”
“I’m going to watch you closely for a month.”
Eunsu retorted firmly. Jaerim responded with a snort.
“Ah, I can endure a month. But what about you, Manager? Can you really quit for life?”
“I never said for life. Since we’re talking about it, how about we bet on it for a month?”
As they bantered, Soomin whispered to Seonkyung standing beside her.
“Manager Oh, do you want to bet with me? I bet 50,000 won that both of them will drink again within a month.”
“I would bet on the same side, so it wouldn’t work. But Soomin, you already lost 70,000 won to Jaerim yesterday and you still…”
After a noisy time, as the opening hour approached, everyone dispersed. Jaerim stayed in the 1st-floor showroom, while Seonkyung and Eunsu went up to the 2nd-floor office. Juhan and Soomin headed to the basement.
“You’re starting with this today, right?”
“Yes. Soomin, check what we need to go out for today.”
Juhan bent one knee and sat down to examine the chair he was going to work on that day. It was a simple dining chair with a steel frame in the shape of a ladder and oval wooden seats and backrests, a product that was consistently popular and purchased on sight.
Noticing the red mark on Juhan’s neck as he leaned slightly forward, Soomin casually asked,
“President, it looks like you have a wound on your neck. Did you get hurt?”
“Uh?”
With a clueless expression, Juhan brushed his neck below his ear and then realized.
“Last night, Eunsu… no, Manager Sun.”
“That’s enough.”
Soomin abruptly cut off Juhan’s words. Juhan involuntarily shut his mouth, and in that moment, Soomin quickly stepped back.
“I don’t need to hear about such personal matters. Well then, I’ll be going.”
Juhan watched as Soomin quickly disappeared into the back of the warehouse, furrowing his brows.
“What was she thinking about?”
‘Last night, Manager Sun’ was all she heard, and Juhan felt both incredulous and somewhat wronged about where she might have gone with that.
So last night, Manager Sun was pulling on the string around my neck like a fool… That sounds even weirder.
Giving up on further explanation, Juhan silently put on his gloves and picked up his tools. He began by disassembling the chair and then started removing rust from the frame.
