“Who is it?”
“Kim, the manager from the HR team. Kim, whatever his last name is. I don’t know. I don’t even want to remember his name.”
Jiseojun’s officetel. As it started to get colder, the fish bread uncle I first encountered, bundled up in a coat, came, joyfully emptied my wallet, and brought a bag full of fish bread. Worried that it might get cold, he wrapped it in the coat, and the savory scent of fish bread wafted even through the knit.
Starting from the head of the fish bread, I chewed it with gusto, recounting the stories I had experienced.
“I’m grateful, really grateful, that we’re not in the same team.”
“Grateful to whom?”
“To anyone.”
“Who on earth is that person? Who’s so rude?”
“I don’t know either. It hasn’t been long since I joined. There was a manager in that team who went abroad, so they hired an experienced person, and… a strange nut rolled in.”
Listening to my story, Jiseojun seemed frustrated, and I chugged down a beer as if I needed it.
His deer-like long white neck moistened, making it look even more dizzying. I unknowingly swallowed my saliva. I don’t know if I want beer or something else.
“I’ll go to bed early today. Don’t stop me.”
I held up the remaining tail of the fish bread and said to Jiseojun. Then Jiseojun, with a sly grin, ate the tail from my right hand.
“What! I really like the tail!”
“I know.”
“Does someone you know say that?”
When I opened my eyes, Jiseojun unbuttoned one button of the shirt he was wearing.
“The tail should be eaten by me.”
The next button under the pretty fingers popped open again.
“D-Does the tail of fish bread have an effect?”
Saliva involuntarily filled my mouth. When Jiseojun’s collarbone became visible, the accumulated saliva rolled down.
“Well, you can check that from now on.”
Jiseojun’s face, which had raised its corners of the mouth in a suggestive manner, approached closely. After that, only our rough breathing filled the officetel.
Until the fish bread completely cooled.
“Good morning.”
For the first time in a long time, I went to work with a light and pleasant heart.
“Manager, did you stay out last night?”
“Yes? Ah… Somehow, I ended up sleeping at a friend’s house.”
Baekinha stared at me suspiciously. I deliberately ignored her gaze and sat down.
“Manager, the HR team contacted us to collect the sizes for the company’s winter clothes by today.”
“Already time for winter clothes. I hope the design isn’t tacky this time.”
I clasped my hands together and prayed to the sky. Baekinha, who was next to me, laughed brightly.
“Just don’t wear it.”
“Not wearing it? There’s no other comfortable clothing in winter.”
I explained how warm the clothes provided by the company were to Inha, but it seemed like my words flowed out of her other ear.
Since I decided to collect the sizes for this winter’s items, I opened the computer network after checking the sizes of the team leader.
“Who was in charge this time…”
It seemed like I had noted it down… I looked at the memo I had written in advance.
“Ha…”
While looking at the memo I wrote, I let out a deep sigh. Indeed, avoiding the HR team completely might have been impossible.
Yeah. Since it wasn’t necessary to meet them in person, and it was enough to pass it through messenger, I thought that would do. After passing on the sizes of the team members, I received a message from Manager Kim a little later.
[Got the sizes well. Thank you. Did you enjoy the hangover relief that time?]Chills ran down my spine reading that message.
“Why pretend to be close.”
I vigorously rubbed the goosebumps that had risen on my arms with my palms.
[Yes. Thank you.]Unable to chew it out, I sent a message as professionally as possible. Then, another message arrived promptly.
[Sure. See you next time.]“See you next time for what?”
I glared at Manager Kim’s message and quickly closed the window.
Please, please don’t let me run into this person. I begged and begged.
It was clear that fate was not on my side.
“Team leader, I don’t even have a mentee. Do I really have to go?”
Winter workshop. The workshop where mentors and mentees go together was scheduled for next week. My mentee was the youngest in the accounting team. However, he quit the company just six months after joining, and my mentee disappeared like that.
So, I had no reason to attend this workshop where mentors and mentees go together…
“They say the HR team is short-staffed this time. They asked for people without mentors or mentees to participate to fill the numbers and help with the event. They contacted me to ask you to participate.”
“But…”
“Each department received a notice… So, unless there’s something special, let’s go together. If the mentee hadn’t quit, it would have been a workshop to attend anyway.”
That’s how I ended up being forced to go to the workshop, taking on the support role for the HR team.
On the day of the workshop.
“Ugh. It turned out tacky again this year.”
