A few hours ago.
Hye Ju stayed at the company until late at night, writing a survey proposal to be sent to Taeyang Food. Due to the company’s atmosphere that generally discouraged overtime work, most employees had already left for the day.
Quickly filling her dinner with a sandwich and working, Da Hee entered. She also seemed to be a recipient of overtime work, as she held a pile of documents in her hands.
“Hey, you’re working overtime today?”
“Yeah. I forgot to submit the report that was due today.”
“Wow, you left and came back again?”
“Yeah.”
Normally, Da Hee would have welcomed the “double overtime” and started chatting, but today she seemed strangely distant.
Hye Ju glanced at her, placing the stack of documents on the desk.
“What’s wrong?”
These days, Da Hee was truly peculiar. One day she was cold, and the next day she was warm. It was difficult to gauge her mood.
Having experienced it during the early stages of their relationship with Seung Won, Hye Ju could guess, but she couldn’t ask directly. Since the incident at the argumentative house, she felt a strange sense of caution from Da Hee. Some days, it seemed like Da Hee avoided any mention of Seung Won altogether.
“It’s bothering me. Why is she acting like this?”
Hye Ju lightly sighed and rested her hands on the keyboard.
To Da Hee, just like Da Hee to her, Hye Ju was a special friend. They had met in their first year of college and had been inseparable for nearly 8 years now. Both being from the provinces and living together in a tworoom apartment, it felt like they spent every waking moment together back then.
The days where they stayed up all night, laughing and talking about trivial matters, felt like they passed by without them realizing.
If they were sisters, would it feel like this? As an unrelated sibling, Da Hee was precious to Hye Ju, as if they shared the same blood.
Some friends would occasionally make jokes when they saw those two. They would say that Da Hee seemed to like you to the point of being strange, or that she looked scary when seen occasionally.
They would say that Da Hee followed your style of clothing, planned her schedule according to your class timetable, or even followed your club activities. They teased her, calling her the “fake Oh Hye Ju.”
The more they said that, the more Hye Ju tried to treat Da Hee better. She knew why Da Hee relied on her so much. Only Hye Ju knew about Da Hee’s unknown family background.
Da Hee’s mother was a shaman.
Because of her mother suddenly receiving divine revelation when she was young, Da Hee’s family went through many hardships. Her father left his wife and children and chose divorce, and the relatives pointed fingers at Da Hee’s mother, calling her a crazy witch. Due to rumors spreading throughout the neighborhood that she had gone mad and caused the collapse of her family due to mental illness, Da Hee’s mother rarely went outside.
Da Hee was always an outcast. Whenever she longed for friends and tried to approach someone, her parents would mysteriously appear from somewhere, claiming that she was possessed by a ghost, and drove Da Hee away. Even though they both grew up in stepparent families, Hye Ju and Da Hee had different situations since Hye Ju received abundant love from her father.
Hye Ju couldn’t turn away from Da Hee, who considered herself emotionally deprived. She wanted to understand Da Hee in any situation. Seeing her in such an unstable state now made her worry.
“Did anything happen during your business trip?”
Fortunately, Da Hee started the conversation first. Hesitating whether to initiate the conversation or not, Hye Ju reflected and replied.
“Nothing special! The wind blew, the boat broke down, and the place I stayed in was really a dump of a guesthouse. It was truly an extraordinary business trip.”
“Was there anything with President Kang Ju Won?”
…Should I kiss him?
Hye Ju’s heart skipped a beat at Ju Won’s voice that suddenly came to mind.
The black eyes they met in the car and the sound of raindrops falling steadily. It was a vivid memory.
“Nothing happened, then. What could have happened at the business trip destination?”
“Really? That’s a bit disappointing.”
“What?”
“Well, when a young man and woman are trapped on an island together, things that are likely to happen exist. Even though we’ve closed our hearts, it’s still disappointing if nothing happened with someone we once liked.”
“Oh, don’t say scary things. I don’t have that kind of relationship with President Kang.”
Hye Ju playfully clapped her hands. But Da Hee’s gaze was chilly.
“Why are you acting so frustrated?”
“Huh?”
“People say you like Kang Ju Won! Then do something about it! Have you even confessed properly? You’re closing your heart without doing anything, why?”
Hye Ju was taken aback by Da Hee’s agitated voice.
“I’ve given up on my crush, and why are you getting angry?”
“Because I feel sorry for you! You and I are best friends. Shouldn’t we be at that level of closeness?”

Short scene 2:
