“Agh!”
Junghoon screamed as he grabbed his leg and hopped around, then fell backwards.
Ironically, it was the same shin that Juwon had already kicked the previous night, so the pain was doubled.
Manager Park scowled at Junghoon, who was writhing on the ground with a face reddened by excruciating pain.
Ina and the female colleagues watched Manager Park with astonished eyes.
“Is this guy completely insane? Comes here and starts spouting nonsense? Huh?”
Junghoon, lying on the ground, glared murderously at Manager Park, but from a distance, two men came running.
“Manager Park! What’s happening?”
It was Lee from the sales team and Han from the same department.
The two, looking startled, alternated their gaze between Junghoon and Manager Park, trying to understand the situation.
“Ah, you see, this crazy guy suddenly showed up and started causing trouble with Deputy Seo! Ranting and raving!”
“What?”
Lee looked at Junghoon with a shocked expression.
“This guy… this crazy guy, how dare he hit someone?”
Junghoon screamed and lunged towards Manager Park, but Lee and Han quickly grabbed his arms.
“What? Crazy guy? You young brat, how dare you curse? And I’ve known Deputy Seo for five years; she’s absolutely not the kind of person to do what you’re accusing her of! You, drunk in broad daylight and causing a scene at someone else’s workplace, are exactly the kind of person to do such things! You crazy guy!”
Manager Park’s shouting made people around them stop and stare.
No one knew the usually smiling and amiable Manager Park had such a tough side.
Ina, too, looked at this unfamiliar side of Manager Park blankly before snapping back to reality.
She felt both thankful and apologetic to Manager Park for defending her and speaking up in this unpleasant situation caused by her.
“What the hell? What’s wrong with my face? This woman! Hey! All of you are being fooled by this woman, Seo Ina! You don’t know how much of a hypocrite she is…”
Junghoon kept yelling, but suddenly Manager Park took out his phone and made a call.
“Yes, 112? I’m in front of the company and I’d like to report a stalker. Yes, the stalker came and is harassing our female employee. The location is…”
“Hey! Who’s a stalker? You crazy!”
Junghoon yelled furiously.
“Yes, you just heard him, right? Yes, that’s the stalker’s voice. Okay, we’ll hold him until…”
“You crazy!”
Junghoon glared at Manager Park, then, with all his strength, shook off the two men’s grip and ran away without looking back.
Manager Park removed the phone from his ear as Junghoon ran away with a speed that would put Usain Bolt to shame.
“Tsk tsk… What a pathetic guy.”
Manager Park shook his head while looking in the direction Junghoon had run off, prompting Lee to ask with curiosity.
“Uh? Manager Park, aren’t you on the phone?”
Manager Park silently showed his phone to Lee.
It was just the phone’s background screen, not a call screen.
“Wait, you weren’t actually calling?”
“No, I was just pretending.”
The female colleagues looked surprised at Manager Park’s words.
“Wow, Manager Park, that was some acting!”
Han commented with a grin, but Manager Park looked at Ina, who was still looking down, guilt-ridden.
“Well, I’m going to have a coffee with Deputy Seo. You four go ahead and have lunch.”
Ina looked up at Manager Park with surprised eyes.
“No, it’s okay, Manager Park. Please go ahead and eat.”
“No, Deputy Seo, let’s have a coffee together. Everyone else, go ahead. Ah! You know to keep quiet about this, right?”
Manager Park gestured a zipper across his lips to the employees.
The employees looked at Ina with concern and then nodded.
“Yes, of course, Manager Park. We’ll go ahead then.”
After the employees left, Ina, unable to resist Manager Park’s insistence, accompanied him to a nearby coffee shop.
Manager Park, stopping Ina from paying, ordered two cups of coffee and two sandwiches.
“You might not feel like eating, but in times like these, it’s bad to have an empty stomach. Let’s eat something, at least.”
Ina, sitting at the table with embarrassment and apology, kept her head down until Manager Park tapped the table with his finger.
“What, you committed a crime? Lift your head, Deputy Seo.”
Ina, biting her lower lip, raised her head.
“I’m just so embarrassed and sorry… I don’t know what to say.”
“Why should Deputy Seo be embarrassed? That guy’s the crazy one.”
Ina lowered her head again as the coffee and sandwiches arrived.
“Let’s eat this first and then talk. Go ahead, eat. Here.”
Ina reluctantly began eating the sandwich handed to her by Manager Park, but couldn’t taste anything.
It felt like chewing on rocks.
Her heart was still pounding from the bomb Junghoon had dropped. She had never imagined he would go this far; it felt like a heavy blow to the back of her head.
As she chewed her lip, thinking about what to do with that crazy guy, Manager Park took a sip of coffee and said,
“In life, there are times when shitty situations happen completely out of our control. For Deputy Seo, what happened earlier is one of those times.”
