Yunara has quit her job. Just before leaving the company, rumors about the incident she committed began to spread, and eventually, she left the company as if fleeing.
Afterward, she often became the talk of the town, becoming a regular topic of conversation at gatherings.
Manager Kim Hyung-seok was sentenced to prison as the police had stated. He vaguely mentioned appealing, insisting it wasn’t his fault until the end.
Indeed, he was a dirty human being.
And Baek In-ha finished the police investigation, handed over to the prosecution, and stood trial.
Baek In-ha received a 10-month prison sentence for involuntary manslaughter and defamation but received a reduction to 7 months considering sincere remorse.
On the day of the verdict, I did not attend the trial. Instead, my team leader went to court. According to the team leader, Yunara repeated that she was wrong and cried endlessly.
The day she was sentenced. Leading myself, not yet fully recovered, I walked along the Han River. At one point, I considered forgiving her. However, I chose to completely cut her out of my life.
I had done nothing. The world I wanted to believe in. The saying that those who make others shed tears will shed tears in return. That saying seemed to have come true to some extent.
They had destroyed themselves.
I’m Moon Daryul.
Now, more than ever, I am at peace.
“Director, how can I date such a wonderful person like that?”
A while ago, I took a promotional photo for the company, and it seems that’s what this is about. Lee Jung-hoon, who was looking at the promotional material in my hands, asked me.
Lee Jung-hoon seemed quick-witted, but not overly so.
“That’s right. Why would he like me? There are so many reasons.”
“What? Hahaha. Director, you’re really fun.”
When I glanced at him, Lee Jung-hoon, who had been laughing to the point where his neck showed, abruptly stopped laughing.
“Director Moon, endure it. It’s the end of the year.”
The manager next to him laughed and intervened.
“I gave you a Christmas present in advance. Mr. Lee Jung-hoon.”
“What? A Christmas present?”
Lee Jung-hoon asked me, raising his glasses.
“It’s life. If it weren’t for Christmas, Mr. Lee Jung-hoon would be in my hands today…”
I bent my finger, making a cracking sound. Lee Jung-hoon, who received life as a Christmas present, quickly changed the topic.
“What do you all do during Christmas?”
“I’m going out to eat with my wife because my mother-in-law is looking after the child.”
“And Director Moon?”
“I am…”
I quickly became crestfallen at Lee Jung-hoon’s words. Now, a week before Christmas, Ji Seo-jun was not in Korea. He wasn’t even in Korea after Christmas.
“I planned the schedule, but I couldn’t help it. Sorry, Director Moon.”
“No, it’s not the manager’s fault.”
I completely lost my energy. The first Christmas after starting a relationship. I didn’t expect a grand event, but I thought about placing candles on a pretty cake, having a sip of delicious wine, and then…
“Why is your taste so bad, Director Moon?”
“Me?”
“Weren’t you supposed to have a delicious meal with Researcher Ji Seo-jun?”
“No. No.”
Lee Jung-hoon, who had been quietly listening to my conversation with the manager, spoke up.
“What’s a good gift for a girlfriend?”
“Do you have a girlfriend, Jung-hoon?”
The manager asked, surprised.
“Yes? Oh. Yes… I met her on a blind date recently.”
“Congratulations!”
“Hahaha.”
Blushing under his eyes, Lee Jung-hoon scratched his head.
“I don’t know what gift would be good.”
“How old is your girlfriend?”
“She’s 24!”
When I was 24, what did I like…? Sighs escaped involuntarily as my memories became increasingly blurry.
“Director Moon, give me some advice.”
“I think I’m too materialistic.”
“M-Materialistic?”
“I like designer bags.”
“Ah, designer bags…”
Lee Jung-hoon’s face darkened.
“Don’t look so gloomy. When you’re not sure what gift to give, it’s a good idea to just ask openly. It’s better than giving a gift that the person doesn’t like.”
“I wanted to surprise her.”
At that moment, our team leader entered the office.
“Why are you all talking so seriously?”
“Oh, Team Leader. Jung-hoon’s girlfriend is 24, what would be a good Christmas gift?”
“Huh? When was the mid-20s…”
“Oh, no. I’ll think about it.”
“Sorry for not being helpful, Jung-hoon.”
We returned to our seats, leaving our youngest member Jung-hoon, who looked cute, behind.
On the way home after work, I finally managed to get a seat on the bus after a subtle battle and checked my phone.
[Are you on your way home?]It was a message from Ji Seo-jun.
[Yes. I’m on the bus now.]Looking out the window after sending the message, I saw people hurrying along, bundling up against the cold. Bulbs were hanging on each tree, and stores were busy creating a Christmas atmosphere.
[I wanted to be together for Christmas. I’m sorry.]In less than a minute, a message arrived expressing regret and apologies. Well, it’s not Ji Seo-jun’s fault. I replied that I was okay, swallowing the bitter taste.
“I’m home.”
