“Ah, I don’t want to go to work.”
How many times had I repeated this sentence? The day to return to work after the Chuseok holiday had dawned. How gloomy was last night. From the moment I opened my eyes, I had been repeating the same sentence over and over, even until I reached the bus stop near the office.
“Good morning.”
Lately, it was the most powerless morning greeting I had offered. However, others also seemed to still have the sweetness of the holiday in their bones, as they greeted me with equally sagging faces.
“Assistant Manager, why does today feel especially harder?”
“My body has learned what comfort is. That’s why.”
“Ugh…”
As soon as I arrived at work, In Ha laid face down on the desk after setting down her bag.
“There’s a pile of work to do as soon as I arrive, yet even lifting a finger feels difficult.”
In Ha leaned one cheek on her desk and grumbled. Just then, the team leader walked in.
“Everyone, good morning.”
At the appearance of the team leader, In Ha quickly straightened up and greeted him.
“Hello, Team Leader. You seem to be in a good mood today.”
“Me? Unless I win the lottery, what good thing could possibly happen on a day I have to come to work?”
The voice was rather cheerful, but the content was completely different. In Ha and I looked at each other with bewildered expressions as he winked one eye.
“Now, everyone knows we’re busy starting this week, right? No time to slack off. Shall we all start with a cup of coffee?”
The reason the team leader bought coffee was clear. Not long after arriving, we would have to dive into work, and even during lunchtime, we’d barely have the leisure to enjoy it before returning to our seats in front of the computer.
“Assistant Manager, let’s take a small break first.”
“I’d like to go home early today since working late is already confirmed.”
I responded while soullessly tapping on the keyboard.
“In Ha, you go take a break.”
“Okay, I’ll be back in a bit…”
She looked at my face for a moment and then left the office. Only the sound of my typing filled the room.
“Knock, knock.”
Someone knocked with their mouth. When I took my eyes off the monitor and looked towards the entrance, Researcher Jung Chan Hyung was there.
“Huh? Hello. What brings you here at this time…”
I awkwardly rose from my chair to greet him.
“Ah. I was passing by and thought I’d stop in. Are you working right now?”
He asked with a genuinely regretful expression.
“Ah. Yes. Work has piled up right after the holiday.”
“I see…”
His face grew even more regretful as he handed something to me.
“Whether it’s fortunate or not, this might be somewhat useful.”
What he offered was a vitamin drink.
“Uh… I’m fine.”
“No, no. I also received it. Don’t feel burdened.”
Researcher Jung Chan Hyung stretched out his long arm and gently placed it on my desk. It would be awkward to refuse any longer, so I thanked him while looking at the drink.
A brief silence.
After scanning the office, he spoke.
“I’ll get going now.”
“Yes. I’ll enjoy the drink.”
As Researcher Jung Chan Hyung walked out with a light farewell, In Ha walked in holding a cup of coffee. She ran up to me after watching him leave.
“Why did Researcher Jung Chan Hyung come here?”
“I’m not sure.”
I sat back down and opened the cap of the vitamin drink he had given me. The cool, refreshing beverage flowed down my throat.
“Alright, let’s get back to work.”
I finished the drink in one gulp, separated the empty bottle for recycling, and tried to focus on my work again.
And so, the busy days went on—first one day, then two, and on the third day, everything exploded.
“First, contact the embassy.”
“I’ve reached out. We’re waiting for a response.”
“What’s the current situation with the employees who are stranded?”
“They are at the hotel.”
“Is it possible to arrange transportation from the hotel to the airport?”
“We’re looking into it at the hotel, but they’ve informed us that it’s likely to be difficult.”
“Ah… Understood.”
Bio Team 4 had gone on a business trip to Africa. They had left to research a disease prevalent there and found themselves in a precarious situation due to a civil war. Our team was on high alert.
“Manager, what can we do?”
Baek In Ha, who was experiencing this for the first time, looked utterly drained.
It was past midnight.
Only our office lights were on. We stayed at work to receive real-time feedback, synchronized with the local time.
This was not a frequent occurrence, but once it happened, it was a crisis situation until resolved.
“What we can do now is maintain frequent communication with the embassy and provide our employees with updated information as quickly as possible.”
It was a situation without guaranteed safety. A truly precarious situation.
We had to keep updating information about changes in the local situation and any changes in martial law, through continuous communication with the embassy.
Fortunately, no further communication from the embassy seemed to indicate no significant changes for now.
