“Deputy? Deputy… Why….”
Looking at Mr. Baek In Ha’s expression, it seemed like he had seen me with Ji Seo Joon. In other words, it was too late to pretend I didn’t know.
“Ah. Haha. Mr. Baek In Ha, what brings you here….”
I was trying to buy some time, thinking of how I could explain the situation without causing any misunderstandings. The problem was not only with Mr. Baek In Ha.
Ji Seo Joon was unaware that he and I were working in the same company, and there was a risk of being exposed as soon as she brought up the S.T story. I started to sweat profusely.
“I was here to meet my friends… Deputy, Ji… Uh! Uh!”
I quickly covered her mouth as she was about to mention Ji Seo Joon.
“I was meeting a colleague from work. Hold on, just a moment!”
“The taxi’s here.”
“Huh? Ah. Right. We were waiting for our taxi, weren’t we? Haha.”
Fortunately or unfortunately, Ji Seo Joon seemed to have no interest in Mr. Baek In Ha.
I removed my hand that was covering her mouth.
“Deputy! What if you suddenly cover my mouth?”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Baek In Ha. Well… So. Um…”
As I was trying to explain, an annoyed voice of Ji Seo Joon came from behind.
“Moon Moon. The taxi’s coming.”
When I turned around, the taxi was slowing down and approaching.
“Mr. Baek In Ha! I’ll explain everything tomorrow, okay?”
With that, I hastily got into the taxi, leaving her behind.
“Is Seoul that small? I don’t think so…. But how did we meet? Can such a coincidence happen? Hehe.”
I kept murmuring in shock in the taxi.
“What are you mumbling about?”
Ji Seo Joon asked from beside me.
“You’re good at math…. What are the chances of coincidentally meeting a work colleague in the middle of Seoul on a weekend?”
“What are you saying….”
“Even smart you don’t know that.”
At my words, that guy asked with a suspicious gaze.
“A work colleague?”
“What is?”
“That woman from before.”
“Huh? Yeah… well. I guess so.”
“If it’s true, it’s true, and if it’s not, it’s not. What do you mean by ‘I guess so’?”
I am Moon Da Yul, 29 years old, getting scolded for not answering precisely.
“Yes, she’s a work colleague.”
“But why are you so restless?”
“Me? When? I’ve never been like that.”
I quickly averted my gaze and meaninglessly fiddled with my cell phone.
“What’s that again? What are you hiding?”
“Hiding, what….”
If I were to meet his gaze right now, I felt like I’d spill everything, so I desperately tried not to make eye contact.
Ji Seo Joon, who had been quietly watching me, calmly issued a warning.
“You’re on your own if you get caught.”
It was a chilling moment.
Returning to Ji Seo Joon’s house, I pat the General’s backside and pondered how to explain to Mr. Baek In Ha the next day.
It wasn’t just a casual acquaintance, Ji Seo Joon had called me by my nickname, and we even took a taxi together.
Moments when I pretended not to know anything about Ji Seo Joon in front of Mr. Baek In Ha, feigning indifference, flashed by like a filmstrip.
“General, please give me wisdom.”
As I lamented my predicament, acting like a servant, he stopped my hand patting his backside, then with his tail, he tapped ‘taptap’, commanding me not to stop.
Feeling unable to eat, I only stroked the General’s fur and left Ji Seo Joon’s studio.
Until the end, Ji Seo Joon did not let go of his suspicious gaze at me, but the fire that fell on my feet was not Ji Seo Joon, but Baek In Ha.
Even after returning home, taking a shower, and lying down to sleep, I didn’t have a good answer in mind.
I guess I’ll just blurt out whatever comes to mind.
That was the answer I’d come up with after long contemplation.
“Assistant Manager Moon. Do you know I couldn’t sleep last night because I was so curious? You didn’t even reply to my message…”
Mr. Baek In Ha, who had come to work early.
As soon as I walked into the office, Mr. Baek In Ha grabbed me and dragged me into the break room.
“How do you know each other? Hmm? It seemed like you were pretty close yesterday… right?”
“Well, we’re close if you’d say so, and distant if you’d say so.”
At my vague answer, she quickly spilled out another question.
“Why did you pretend not to know him all this time? Hmm? You could have told me.”
“Well… it’s not just you, Mr. Baek In Ha, I didn’t want to tell the whole staff. I’m sorry.”
When I apologized, cute Mr. Baek In Ha with her lips jutting out, seemed slightly appeased and continued with her next question.
“Then, please tell me. What’s the relationship between Researcher Ji Seo Joon and you, Assistant Manager?”
Let’s be honest.
“We’re friends. Friends for 29 years.”
“Huh?”
She opened her eyes wide and looked up at me. I was amazed that human eyes could open that wide.
“Our birthdays are just two days apart. Him, no, Ji Seo Joon first, and then me. You could say we were maternity ward buddies. We’ve been friends from then until now.”
“That’s a great bond.”
“Well… you could say that. Haha.”
“But why didn’t you tell me!”
For some reason, Mr. Baek In Ha seemed pretty aggrieved.
