At ten, Taejun, an elementary student, sometimes had busier days than Soeun, a seven-year-old attending daycare. Soeun, enrolled in the daycare’s full-day program, would come home at 5 PM. On days without any academy or private lessons, it was Taejun who found himself waiting for Soeun.
That particular day, Taejun, who was subtly awaiting Soeun’s return, fell asleep on a garden bench while reading, succumbing to sleepiness.
Shortly after slipping into a dream,
Taejun abruptly awoke to the sensation of a grape falling onto his cheek.
He raised a hand to his cheek and looked ahead.
There stood Hansoeun, the fool, grinning mischievously in front of Taejun.
“Do you wake up from a kiss like dad does?”
“Hey!”
Taejun, his face turning as red as burgundy wine, shouted back.
“If you touch my face again, I’ll hang you up there.”
With a huff, Taejun pointed to a large tree in the garden.
“Oppa, is it only okay if I don’t touch with hands? Can I use my mouth?”
“If hands aren’t okay, how would mouth be?”
“Then, is it okay to use my feet?”
The child asked with a genuinely innocent expression. It seemed too earnest to be just playful. Taejun raised his hand to reprimand her.
“Uwaaa!”
The child, having been frequently scolded by Taejun, screamed and covered her head with her arms even before he struck. Taejun couldn’t help but laugh at the sight.
After a hearty laugh, Taejun offered Soeun something he took from his pocket. It was a jelly with a goblin face on it.
“Wow! What is this?”
“It looks just like you, so you eat it.”
“Wow! Amazing!”
Whether the child understood Taejun’s words or was pretending not to, she just joyfully hopped around.
The day after they parted,
Even though Soeun had a slightly restless night, she energetically headed to work.
Before work began, Soeun browsed various online shopping sites, and Bobae approached her.
“Chief, this is the first time I see you shopping online.”
“Yeah. I’m looking to buy some clothes.”
“Going somewhere nice?”
“Just. I have a blind date.”
“Eh? Chief, did you break up with your boyfriend…….”
Bobae, initially speaking excitedly, quieted down upon realizing the surroundings.
“Chief, did you break up? When?”
“Yesterday.”
“You’re going on a blind date already?”
Bobae asked, to which Soeun relaxed her well-maintained smile and blinked, a reaction akin to Director Kim Taejun’s.
“Is it too soon?”
“Isn’t it a bit early?”
“They said it’s okay.”
“Ah. If they know about it, then, well….”
Bobae nodded, as if to say it was not a big deal. At that moment, Chief Jang Eunpyo was loitering behind them.
“Chief Jang. Do you have something to say?”
“……No.”
At Bobae’s question, Eunpyo quickly returned to his desk.
Bobae continued in a low voice.
“Chief, were you sick the other day, worrying about whether to break up?”
“Yeah. Seems like it. But I’m okay now.”
“Okay, Chief. But if there’s anything I can help with, just let me know. You should eat well, sleep well, and go out a lot.”
“I wish I could. That would be nice.”
“Indeed. That would be nice.”
Soeun sighed, appreciating Bobae’s enthusiastic support but feeling weighed down. It would be great if she could play and rest a lot, but she was tied to Director Kim Taejun. She had to stay and work overtime until 9 PM every night.
“Ah, the TF team… Does the director assign a lot of work?”
“It’s simple labor, but a lot of it.”
“Chief, if I can help, I will. You’ve helped me a lot too.”
Bobae, looking concerned, offered help with a spirited voice. Soeun smiled, grateful even for the thought alone.
[Star icon]Soeun arrived on the 7th floor a little after 6 PM.
Unexpectedly, Taejun was already in the office, waiting for Soeun.
“Have you arrived?”
“Yes, Director. How are you?”
“Have you had dinner?”
“I ate with a colleague.”
“I told you to come at six.”
“You said meal times are also working hours.”
Soeun had become a bit bold. She decided it was time to speak her mind. But still, Taejun was like a sky-high boss, so she couldn’t ignore his mood.
“I ate first because I thought I might get hungry during work.”
Quickly adding an explanation, Soeun pressed her lips tightly together.
Fortunately, Taejun didn’t add any more reprimands. Instead, he asked expressionlessly, without moving an eyebrow.
“Are you busy this weekend?”
“Yes. I have a blind date.”
“Sorry about that. It seems you’ll have to work this weekend, Chief.”
“…….?”
“I need it done by Monday morning. I have to review it urgently.”
…Are you really sorry?
There was a man who could say he was sorry so shamelessly.
It’s hard to understand men’s hearts, but that doesn’t mean Soeun is a fool. She was someone who was very sensitive to others’ feelings.
There had been more than a typical superior-subordinate interaction between Taejun and Soeun. Even though it was all due to coincidence, Taejun was too involved in Soeun’s personal matters. Until yesterday, she could understand it as quirky meddling of a boss who liked morning dramas, but not today.
I already thanked you for everything until now.

Short scene 2:

Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
