The moment his lips touched hers and the sound of her pounding heart that was so intense it hurt. With that lingering sensation that left no room for confusion, she couldn’t deceive herself any longer.
“Should I make a place for him today?”
Hye Ju naturally made plans to arrange a meeting with Ju Won and immersed herself in deep thought.
Rustle.
At that moment, she heard a noise from behind. It couldn’t be seen from the entrance, but passing through the rooftop garden and taking a slight turn, there was a water tank where the sound was coming from.
Hye Ju leaned her chin on the railing and turned her head to look in that direction.
“Ruby Ssine?”
“Oh, you startled me!”
Ruby, who had a giggling sound in her mouth, walked out surprised and let out a small scream. Seeing her flustered state, Hye Ju became even more flustered.
“Why are you so surprised? Like someone who got caught doing something bad.”
“Well… that’s…”
Finally, Hye Ju’s eyes caught sight of the cigarette pack in Ruby’s hand. Seeing her quickly hide the cigarette in her pocket, Hye Ju smiled as if relieved.
“Ah, what am I saying again? It’s okay. I won’t tell anyone.”
Actually, Hye Ju didn’t have much thoughts about cigarettes. Maybe it was because she had seen Seung Won playing games and smoking all day and night, or perhaps the sight of someone smoking wasn’t an unfamiliar scene to her. She even found it amusing that they differentiated between genders in the snack section.
“What’s the big deal about smoking? Is it something to hide?”
However, Ruby seemed to have a slightly different perspective.
“Well, people still gossip about it.”
“Seriously, when is it these days?”
“Unnie, don’t you know that no one in our company knows which male employee smokes? It’s because no one finds it strange when a man smokes. But when a female employee smokes, rumors spread throughout the company in a day. It’s just a matter of time before they start calling her ‘the female employee who smokes’ instead of using her name.”
“Is it from personal experience?”
After giggling once more, Ruby spoke bluntly.
“It happened when I interned at another company. One time, a higherup called me out and scolded me. He asked where a woman could smoke, ugh, seriously.”
“What an oldfashioned mindset.”
“That oldfashioned guy even called our team leader to make sure he properly trained the interns. I was on a trialtopermanent internship, but in the end, I was let go.”
Losing a job opportunity because of cigarettes, how outdated of a notion was that?
It was hard to believe that such a thing could happen in the year 2022, not to mention in this day and age. But upon reflection, Hye Ju realized she had never seen a female coworker openly smoking in the company before.
Hye Ju felt a bit sympathetic.
“Don’t worry. If Ruby wants to keep it a secret, I won’t tell anyone either.”
Ruby had a slightly touched expression.
“After lunchtime, usually no one comes to the rooftop. I purposely came at this time, so I was surprised to see someone here. Anyway, thank you. It makes me dizzy to think how it would have been if it were someone other than you, Unnie.”
“What do you mean? I’m just taking a breather.”
“Taking a breather?”
Ruby burst into laughter at the unexpected word. Then she quickly composed herself and hesitantly opened her lips.
“Unnie, can I ask you a personal question?”
