I reported to the internal grievance processing department. In the grievance processing department, they assured me that they would do their best to minimize the damage, but the problem was Kim, the manager, who couldn’t keep his mouth shut.
Once I reported it, Kim, who knew about it, went around telling everyone that it was all unfair. Rumors about the company spread uncontrollably.
One positive thing about that was that the rumor of me being Jiseojun’s girlfriend was somewhat buried.
“Hey, Manager Moon. Long time no see.”
I decided to have lunch with Jiseojun. At the place we agreed upon, Jiseojun showed up.
Behind Jiseojun, the manager of Bio Team 1, who greeted me with a smile, and researcher Lee Kyung-hoon, and the youngest, Jang Woo-seok, approached, shaking hands.
“I won’t eat together.”
Jiseojun said firmly. Then, Manager Geo pulled Jiseojun’s arm.
“I’ll pay with the company card! Manager Moon, come on. Are we going together?”
As I watched Jiseojun being dragged away, Researcher Lee Kyung-hoon pushed me from behind.
“He said he’s buying something expensive. Let’s go together!”
The place we were dragged to was a beef bone soup restaurant. It was written boldly on the sign that it has been passed down for three generations.
“Is this an expensive place?”
I asked, and Jang Woo-seok shrugged his shoulders. Then, he neatly took out a spoon and chopsticks from the utensil holder and placed them in front of everyone.
“Manager Moon, if you like expensive things, you’ll lose your hair. Tight.”
“It’s ‘If you like free things.'”
Jiseojun, with a dissatisfied expression, corrected the wrong sentence.
Then, Manager Geo nodded and opened the note app on his phone, slowly typing each letter.
“I suggested that Manager Moon and I should continue having meals together, but Senior Ji opposed it.”
“What? Why?”
“My precious child like gold?”
Shouting out the correct answer while taking notes, Manager Geo.
“That’s what parents say to their children.”
This time, Jang Woo-seok corrected it while cutting the kimchi to make it easier to eat.
“Do you speak Korean even when you work?”
“No. We speak English when we work. It’s more accurate. Korean when we rest. That’s our team rule.”
“Right. That way, Korean grows fast.”
John said, shaking off the gimbap that had just come out.
Still looking dissatisfied, Jiseojun arranged the seasonings in front of me.
“Take your time eating.”
“Oh, thank you. Mr. Ji.”
I smiled coolly and picked up the spoon. The beef bone soup was surprisingly delicious, and my eyes widened.
“Here, this is a restaurant that Manager Moon really likes. Isn’t it delicious?”
In response to Lee Kyung-hoon’s words, I nodded. Lee Kyung-hoon, who was smiling at my reaction, glanced at Jiseojun and opened his mouth.
“You two go well together.”
Then, Jang Woo-seok, who had been silently inhaling the soup, raised his head vigorously, his mouth full of food. And the moment he tried to say something.
“Chew! Chew… say it.”
In response to Jiseojun’s words, Jang Woo-seok closed his mouth again and moved his jaws diligently. Then, he gulped and quickly spat out his words.
“I, personally think Director Moon Dayul is more valuable than Senior Ji. Actually, Senior Ji’s personality…”
“Come on, our youngest. Eat. Eat a lot and be more observant. Okay?”
The one who covered Jang Woo-seok’s mouth was Researcher Lee Kyung-hoon. His action made me laugh involuntarily, as if he were looking at high school students.
On the way back after enjoying a delicious meal, I felt fortunate that they were Jiseojun’s colleagues.
They never mentioned the incident to me even once. There was no inquiry about whether I was okay, a question I had heard so often. That was the best part.
“Thank you for the meal today.”
Before parting ways, I greeted Team Leader John and promised that next time, I would treat him to something really expensive before leaving coolly.
“They seem like really nice people.”
“Yeah. If not, I would have quit the company right away.”
“Why?”
“You didn’t want to reveal that we were dating at the company. If you worked elsewhere, you could openly say that I’m your boyfriend.”
The reason he wanted to change companies was that. It was so absurd that laughter burst out.
“Really.”
“Who said it’s fake?”
Jiseojun, silently looking down at me.
“What about at work?”
“Huh? I’m not sure, but they said it might be a salary reduction, company-wide sexual harassment prevention training, and even a transfer to another place. That’s what they’re thinking.”
“By any chance…”
Nodding my head, Jiseojun, who had been lost in thought for a moment, hesitated several times before unexpectedly spitting out words.
“In your team, is there only one female employee besides you?”
“Bae In-ha?”
“Yeah… What kind of person is that female employee?”
What kind of person? What does he mean by asking that? Jiseojun’s gaze contained many thoughts.
“Literal. If I had to say, someone I might feel like having as a younger sister? I think that’s how I would feel if I had a younger sister.”
“Younger sister?”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
