The next day, it was a message from Yoon-ah, that woman. On my way to work, after receiving her message, I started organizing in my mind what I needed to say.
The reason I became close to Hantaeyi was through Yoon-ah’s idol younger brother. Hantaeyi worked in the fashion industry, and he became friends with Yoon-ah’s brother. They happened to meet in a private setting.
Yoon-ah and Hantaeyi, both interested in fashion, had a few more meetings, and during their conversations, they coincidentally found out that they worked at the same company as Jiseojun.
Jiseojun’s opinion was that all this information seemed not to be a lie, as it was based on what Hantaeyi told him.
Looking back, even seeing them talk at the bar back then, they didn’t seem that close.
After receiving Yoon-ah’s message, I couldn’t concentrate even when I got to work. Should I make a strong cup of coffee and drink it? While pondering, I found out that there was one more person in our team who couldn’t concentrate like me.
“Mr. Baek In-ha, what’s been going on lately? You didn’t make such mistakes.”
Baek In-ha had recently made a very basic mistake while planning an overseas business trip, and he was being scolded harshly by the team leader.
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s not just this time. What’s really going on these days?”
“What? Oh, no, nothing like that.”
Unusually, Baek In-ha, who seemed somewhat impatient, couldn’t speak properly like a restless puppy. Making even unusual mistakes and not maintaining composure, Baek In-ha was unable to stay calm.
After receiving several warnings from the team leader, In-ha returned to his seat with a dark expression.
“Mr. In-ha, when you’ve made some progress with what you’ve taken on this time, show it to me. I’ll take a look.”
“No, it’s okay.”
Normally, he would have looked at me with grateful eyes, saying, ‘There’s no one but you, sir.’ But seeing In-ha, who was a bit cold in rejecting, he seemed like a completely different person.
I wonder what’s going on, as the team leader said. Even though she would know I was looking at her with concern, she stared at the monitor with a stubborn expression.
If she doesn’t want to talk, I have no choice. Watching In-ha staring at the monitor and tapping the keyboard, I looked at the back of her head and walked to the restroom.
Quitting time.
As I approached the promised place, my heart pounded like crazy. When I entered the cafe, Yoon-ah, sitting in a secluded spot, had a tense expression. As I approached, she noticed me and flinched.
“…Hello.”
“Not that friendly. Yes. That’s right.”
At my awkward greeting, she bowed deeply. It was an unfamiliar posture. I sat down and there was a moment of silence.
“Do you have nothing to say to me?”
Once again, she flinched. Judging by her attitude, it seemed she knew what she did wrong.
“Han…Taeyi contacted me.”
“Really?”
“I’m sorry.”
“What is it?”
…”
She closes her lips tightly again.
“By any chance, did Yoon-ah post on the anonymous bulletin board too?”
“What? No!”
Yoon-ah, who was quite shrunk, jumped at my words.
“Then what did it mean that you spread rumors?”
“That… By chance, at a company dinner, Chanhyung senior told Deputy Moon Da-yul that he likes her. So Deputy Moon thought it would be nice if she got along well with Chanhyung senior.”
“What is that…”
Chanhyung senior researcher, who joined the company and coincidentally met me, told me that someone said that we were in that kind of relationship. Yoon-ah skillfully packaged the relationship between me and Chanhyung senior, creating a groundless rumor.
Yoon-ah claimed her innocence, saying that rumors related to Jiseojun were not spread by her. She said she liked Jiseojun and had no reason to spread such rumors, looking unfair and frustrated.
Although it was not her intention, rumors about the friendship between Jiseojun and me turned into rumors about the relationship between Chanhyung senior and me, creating strange rumors like ‘Moon Fox.’
“Really. At first, I was confused too. I unintentionally spread rumors in the wrong direction and worried about it. Then, Han Taeyi said that Deputy Moon had a hard time in high school because of rumors. Maybe if such rumors spread, Deputy Moon Da-yul would distance herself from Jiseojun researcher. Then I thought it was better…”
“Is that all?”
“Yes… When I happened to meet Chanhyung senior for a meal, I just thought the two of them were getting along. I never posted such a message on the anonymous bulletin board. Please believe me.”
Although I thought she might be lying, one day, Chanhyung senior researcher asked her if she was really dating me.
I grabbed my throbbing head and looked at Yoon-ah in front of me.
“Is it okay to spread such rumors just because you like Jiseojun?”
“I’m sorry.”
Seeing tears welling up in her big eyes, I turned my head. Who did something wrong, and why did she look so miserable when I was the victim?
