“We’ve always been like this… since middle school… always like this… Although we’ve been discovered this easily. Thinking about it now, I wonder why we bothered to hide it so desperately when we’d be caught this easily…”
“Why? If I had a friend like that, I’d want to brag to everyone in my neighborhood.”
That’s Mr. Baek In Ha’s thought…
I let out a small sigh.
“Experiencing this and that, you become like this. Well! Has all your curiosity been satisfied now?”
I was eager to end the questioning time. I wasn’t sure if I only wanted to tell this much to this innocent young lady.
Of course, I didn’t lie. I just didn’t tell the whole story.
In a situation where I didn’t know what kind of relationship I would have with him, I didn’t want to tell her all the minute details.
When I was about to return to my seat with my coffee, Mr. Baek In Ha followed me closely.
“Ah, Mr. Baek In Ha, let’s keep this our secret for now.”
I realized that I hadn’t told her a crucial fact.
“Hmm? Why?”
“That guy, ah, no, Ji Seo Joon doesn’t know I’m working in the same company.”
“Huh?”
After promising her lunch and receiving her cooperation, I got her agreement.
When she asked why I was keeping it a secret from Ji Seo Joon, I said ‘for my office life.’ and Mr. Baek In Ha surprisingly easily understood.
On the way back from lunch, she even spotted Ji Seo Joon in the distance and told me. Thanks to her, I was able to quickly hide, and managed to not get caught that day too.
“Assistant Manager, you seem to be living a harder life than I thought.”
“That’s what happens when you have a friend like that.”
We watched until Ji Seo Joon completely disappeared, then got into the elevator to go up to the office while chatting. Caught among the crowd of people, I had to hunch my body all the way in the back.
“Have you heard about Researcher Ji Seo Joon from Team 1?”
I heard a whisper in the tight elevator space. Even though they were whispering, it was pretty loud in this small space.
“Why? Did someone confess to him again?”
“The reception desk staff. You saw her earlier, right?”
“Ah… she was really pretty, wasn’t she?”
“She confessed, but got rejected again.”
“Why? I would be thrilled if such a woman confessed to me.”
“Well, that’s because you are Assistant Manager Kim. Frankly, with the caliber of Researcher Ji Seo Joon, wouldn’t he be able to pick and choose?”
“The world is really unfair.”
Their whispering stopped there for a moment.
It was because the elevator opened and people streamed out.
“With such a face, he should become a celebrity instead of causing ecological disruption in the office.”
“Ecological disruption? Hahaha.”
They too exited the elevator.
Mr. Baek In Ha glanced at me and said.
“I think I understand why you want to keep it a secret.”
“Huh?”
She and I got out of the elevator. In the corridor, there were a few people enjoying their lunch break and returning to their office.
She, who was looking around, raised her heel and spoke to me.
“You want to protect Researcher Ji Seo Joon, right? Like an undercover cop.”
I wondered what was going on in her small head to come up with such a story.
Those people earlier were extremely rude and I was angry, but there was nothing I could do about it. Even if it was known in the office that I was a close friend of Ji Seo Joon, would their rudeness stop there?
My experience told me otherwise.
The only thing I could do was to remember their faces and madly press the close button when they tried to rush into the elevator.
Apart from that, there was nothing I could do but stand by his side and make him laugh with my nonsense.
But an undercover cop?
“Thanks for saying so, but no. I’m just trying to make things easier for myself.”
I said that and quickly returned to the office and sat at my desk.
‘Ecological disruption.’
Such a terrible choice of words.
Staring blankly at my computer monitor, I picked up my phone and sent a text to Ji Seo Joon.
[Chicken and beer today?]
A little later, a text arrived from him.
[Okay.]
“Hey! You should hurry! I thought I was starving to death.”
Somehow, I arrived earlier than the homeowner, input the familiar door lock password, and entered.
The chicken arrived before he did, and all I could do was salivate as I couldn’t eat it while it was piping hot.
“Eat first.”
Ji Seo Joon, putting down his backpack, rolled up his shirt sleeves, went to the bathroom and washed his hands.
“We are eating together, how can I eat first? If I eat first, all you’ll get are bones right now.”
“You’re a foodie but can’t eat much…..”
Luckily, he sat in front of me without changing his clothes.
“What beer do you want?”
“Any.”
I chose the least desirable beer from the imported beers I carefully selected at the convenience store, and put it in front of Ji Seo Joon.
As he opened the beer can, Ji Seo Joon asked.
“Why chicken and beer out of the blue? Did something happen at work today?”
“Uh? No, I just felt like eating chicken.”
“If you talk with food in your mouth one more time, you’ll never eat anything at my place again.”
Ji Seo Joon, the neat freak, took out a wet wipe and cleaned up the crumbs that I had spilled.
Not wanting to get scolded in front of the chicken anymore, I thoroughly chewed and swallowed my food before speaking.
“Just… I wanted to eat chicken.”
“Really?”
Ji Seo Joon, who seemed pretty thirsty, was gulping down his beer. He emptied half of it in one go and slammed the beer can onto the table.
“Did anything happen at your company?”
“You’ve been quite interested in my company life these days, haven’t you?”
“I’ve always been interested in you.”
“You’ve been lying as if you were eating…..”
I was extremely embarrassed internally, but I shrugged it off and continued the conversation.
“What’s good about having a friend? It’s having a drink together after work, venting by badmouthing your boss if something unpleasant happened at the office, and stuff like that.”
“………”
I thought Ji Seo Joon would say something, but he just firmly closed his mouth.
Then, he pushed all the chicken wings and drumsticks in front of me and, picking up a piece of tender chicken, bit into it with a big ‘ang’.
“Have you been thinking hard these days?”
“What kind of thoughts?”
As I twisted the bone of a chicken wing that Ji Seo Joon handed me to make it easier to eat, I asked.
“There’s less than two months left.”
Ah. That’s what he’s talking about.
“Well…. Just.”
“Yeah.”
When the conversation stopped, all I could hear was the sound of me chewing the chicken.
“Is there anything difficult at work?”
When I asked again, the guy sitting in front of me shrugged as if nothing was a big deal.
“There are no kids who badmouth you a lot or spread nasty rumors that they confessed and got rejected or something, are there?”
At my words, Ji Seo Joon, who was eating the tender chicken, put it down and took a sip of beer.
“Just let it slide. Don’t worry about it.”
As expected, he was definitely drinking on his own.

Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
