“Min, did you receive all the raw material import/export data for Sales Team 1?”
As there was no response from Suji, a manager sitting nearby tapped her.
“Yeah?”
When Suji asked, somewhat puzzled, why, another manager pointed to Manager Kim’s seat.
“Manager Kim was asking about the raw material import/export data.”
“What?”
Suji, surprised, stood up from her seat.
Looking at Suji with an odd expression, Manager Kim spoke again.
“I mean the data for raw material import/export.”
“Oh. I received it yesterday and organized everything.”
Suji quickly grabbed the documents and went to Manager Kim’s seat.
“Here it is, Manager.”
After receiving the documents, Manager Kim looked over his glasses at Suji.
“Min, is something wrong at home?”
“What?”
“You’ve been out of it since this morning. I’m just asking because you don’t seem like your usual self. Is something going on?”
“Oh, no. I’m sorry.”
“No, it’s not about what you said; I’m asking out of concern. It’s unusual for someone like you.”
Actually, Suji was feeling a bit unwell due to a hint of a cold, but the real cause was Juwon.
Since the Saturday when she went out for a gathering with classmates, she hadn’t slept properly for several days.
Because of thoughts about Juwon that flooded her mind whenever she closed her eyes.
That night, even after seeing her tear-streaked face, Juwon turned away without a word, and that image kept coming back.
It was the first time something like this happened during work hours for Suji.
She was absent-minded, thinking about something else during working hours.
Although she did have a hint of a cold, the real reason was Juwon.
She couldn’t sleep properly for days since meeting him after three years.
How could he act like that after not seeing each other for three years, when she had thought of him every single day during that time?
Tears came out at the thought of it, feeling hurt.
Suji, who tossed and turned all night, couldn’t sleep and suffered from insomnia until yesterday, Tuesday.
Last night, she ended up drinking alcohol she couldn’t handle until 11 p.m. and fell asleep leaning on the sofa, and her body had been trembling since the morning.
After finishing her remaining work, Suji greeted Manager Kim and left the office.
While riding the elevator down, Suji thought that this couldn’t go on.
She felt that if she didn’t say anything to Juwon, she might go crazy.
However, recalling Juwon’s attitude that day, she judged that having a conversation alone wouldn’t be easy.
In the underground parking lot, Suji, getting out of the car, sat there lost in thought for a while.
After a moment, she sent a text to Huiyeong.
Huiyeong, if you don’t have plans after work today, do you want to have dinner with me? I’ll treat.
Oh, really? That’s great. I don’t have plans today either. Where should we meet?
I’ll finish work a bit early today, so I’ll come to your company. Just let me know the location.
Okay, I’ll send it to you shortly.
A little later, Huiyeong received the company location via text, and Suji immediately set off in her car.
“Oh? Are you also going to Sunmi’s wedding?”
Huiyeong’s eyes widened as she sipped her coffee.
“Yeah, I think I’ll have time, so I thought I’d go.”
Huiyeong put down her coffee cup, looking somewhat pale.
“Alright, good idea. The kids will be thrilled to see you.”
“Really. Have I been living too discreetly?”
“Ah, it’s because you’ve been busy. Don’t worry about it.”
Suji fiddled with her coffee cup and, in silence, asked suddenly.
“Do all the people who came out for the alumni meeting go to weddings?”
Quick-witted Huiyeong glanced at Suji and said cautiously.
“You… Is it because of Juwon?”
Suji chuckled and replied.
“I can’t deny that.”
Looking at Suji with a troubled expression, Huiyeong spoke cautiously.
“But, Suji, do you… know that Juwon has a girlfriend now?”
For a moment, Suji’s face froze.
“You didn’t know either? Well… We found out on Saturday. It seems they’ve been dating for a short time.”
Suji tried to regain her composure, nodding with effort.
“Oh… really? It hasn’t been long?”
“Yeah. But… it seems Juwon is quite serious. He even mentioned marriage.”
“…”
Suji’s hand holding the coffee cup trembled slightly.
“If they’ve been dating for such a short time, why would he talk about that?”
Suji asked nonchalantly, but there was a subtle tremor in her voice.
“Yeah. So, we were also surprised. But… it seems like Juwon is thinking quite seriously about it.”
“…”
Suji’s hand, holding the coffee cup, revealed a slight tremor.
“So, how about we find out who Juwon will be holding hands with when he enters the wedding venue?”
At Suji’s chilling tone, Huiyeong’s mouth slightly opened.
Inna scooped up a spoonful of cherry-flavored ice cream and brought it to her mouth.
“Mm, delicious.”
Watching Inna, who was shivering because it was so delicious, Juwon chuckled.
“Still, eat slowly. If you eat too much at once, you’ll get a headache.”
