Bang.
The door swung open with a loud noise. Someone was standing there. Distorted by tears I didn’t even realize were there, I couldn’t confirm who it was.
“Ugh! Who are you?”
Kim Manager, who was on top of me, was pushed aside by the person who entered through the opened door, causing me to stagger. I swiftly wiped away the tears that had gathered. Only then could I recognize who that person was.
“Seo, Seojun!”
It was Seojun.
Seojun seemed out of control. Having seen him for a long time, I could tell even from his back. Seojun grabbed the collar of Kim Manager, who was lying down, raised his fist, and forcefully struck his face.
Thud!
The sound of Seojun’s fist hitting Kim Manager’s face resonated loudly. Followed by the moans of Kim Manager.
Trembling, I just stared blankly at Seojun.
“You… What, what are you! Ugh!”
Kim Manager, who had been knocked down with a punch, couldn’t gather his senses due to the sudden attack.
“Oh, don’t. Don’t come, you punk!”
Seojun got up again, grabbed Kim Manager’s collar, and lifted him up.
“You… What… Ugh!”
Kim Manager, once again struck by Seojun, collapsed, knocking over the piled-up supplies. Clearly in great pain, he could only groan and whimper.
“Get up.”
Seojun spoke for the first time. Through his voice, I could sense how angry Seojun was. His voice was as low and cold as if a chill ran down my spine. I regained my composure upon hearing that voice.
“Aaah! It hurts! Pain! Ah!”
Unable to get up, Kim Manager struggled on the ground, writhing in pain from the repeated blows.
“Se-Seojun, stop.”
However, my voice seemed unheard, and Seojun’s hand rose again toward Kim Manager.
“Seojun!”
I called Seojun, pulling up the loudest voice I could muster. Only then did Seojun stop abruptly.
I tried to get up and approach Seojun, but my legs wouldn’t support me, and I kept hesitating to sit back down.
“Don’t. I told you not to.”
I said to Seojun as he clenched his fist and stopped. I wanted to speak as calmly as possible, but I couldn’t control my trembling voice.
“Manager. Mr. Moon… Mr. Moon?”
It was the youngest member of the HR team. As he straightened his neck and looked around to find me, he discovered us.
“What’s going on…”
The youngest member of the HR team alternately looked at us with his mouth wide open. Then, briskly, he approached me.
“Are you okay? No, what on earth is this…”
As the youngest member approached to support me while I was sitting, Seojun, withdrawing his fist, stood up.
“I will take care of it.”
Perhaps sensing Seojun’s stern atmosphere, the youngest member nodded, staggered towards me, and then fell.
“Yo-you… Call the police. Ugh… the police!”
As Seojun stepped back, Kim Manager, still sitting on the ground, wiped away the blood and glared at me and Seojun, shouting for someone to call the police.
The youngest member of the HR team, who was standing next to him, stealthily approached. Startled by the quite substantial amount of blood, the person surprised me and supported him.
“Blood, blood… Mr. Kim Manager, don’t move. Okay?”
“Don’t call for help so slowly!”
Under the influence of rage, he shouted, and spit and blood splattered together. The youngest member of the HR team was taken aback and stepped back.
“I’ll, I’ll go get the team leader.”
Saying that, he quickly rushed away. While staring blankly at his retreating figure, Seojun, who was wearing the company’s winter jacket, took it off and put it on me.
“Where, where are you injured?”
Feeling something snap in Seojun’s voice, tears started welling up in my eyes again. I clenched my lower lip tightly and nodded, avoiding eye contact.
“Don’t bite. There’s blood.”
I took his lower lip, tightly bitten with his thumb, out.
“Do you think I wouldn’t know, huh? Seojun, you little… Where were you assaulted!”
As if his mouth exploded, blood continued to flow, and Kim Manager kept shouting curses at both me and Seojun. Seojun, growling, tried to get up again.
“Don’t. Stop.”
Seojun stopped at my sobbing voice.
“What’s going on here!”
The HR team leader and our team leader opened the door and came in. Our team leader looked at me, Kim Manager, and Seojun alternately, then came straight to me.
“Are you okay?”
“Sob.”
I nodded, tears not ceasing, wiping my continuously flowing tears with the palm of my hand.
“What’s going on…”
“Call the police! Team leader. Do you see the blood here? Ah… It seems like my mouth has burst. And I feel dizzy.”
As the HR team leader approached, he quickly showed how much he was bleeding, seeming desperate and in pain.
“What on earth happened!”
“Kim Manager! Assess the situation properly!”
After checking Kim Manager, the HR team leader yelled at Seojun. Then our team leader, standing up suddenly, stared at the HR team leader and spoke with strength, word by word.
Only then did the HR team leader, who had been holding me between the disheveled clothes, turn his head and looked at Kim Manager.
“What’s going on now…”
“I was first seduced by Assistant Mundayul! When I was drunk…”
“That bastard…”
