After aunt Yoon Hee left, my mother nagged at me for not even asking about such things. She accused me of only eating and not working for my meals and so on. Only after enduring a barrage of nagging was I able to escape.
After comforting my weary ears, I barely washed up and sent a text to Ji Seo Joon.
[No. Why?]It seemed that the aunt hadn’t asked Ji Seo Joon anything.
[You heard the conversation at the beach arcade too, right? They mentioned you having a girlfriend.] [Ah. Right.] There were times when I thought that this guy’s intelligence might be biased only towards the sciences. [Do you know how much I got grilled by our parents and the aunt?] I sent the text and got a reply right away. [What did they say?] He seemed to be worried too. [I didn’t know anything. I just said I didn’t know.] [Good job.] I glared at my phone as if I was glaring at Ji Seo Joon. At that moment, the phone, set to vibrate, shook violently.It was Ji Seo Joon.
“Why a call?”
Texting is frustrating.
He always did things his own way.
So, what kind of accident did you get into at work?
“That’s……”
I rambled on about how my flight was suddenly cancelled and it was a close call.
“I checked it clearly, you know? Do you know Baek In Ha? The one we ate noodles with……”
I don’t know.
“Why don’t you know! Anyway, that friend booked the flight this time, you know? And asked me to check, so I definitely checked.”
Didn’t the airline cancel it?
“Yes. I called the airline, and they definitely said we cancelled it from our side.”
Does that happen?
“I’ve never experienced this before, so I’m not sure.”
Thanks to our kind team leader, we somehow managed to smooth it over, but it was a close call when I think about it now.
“And after that, I got called by the team leader and got a serious scolding.”
That’s strange.
“Isn’t it? You think it’s strange too, right?”
If the smart Ji Seo Joon said it was strange, then it was strange.
Is there any way to find out?
“There might be. If there’s no problem from the airline’s side, then it’s either my mistake or Baek In Ha’s.”
You must have been surprised.
Ji Seo Joon threw out a comment as if to comfort me.
‘Thump, thump, thump.’
At that one word, my heart began to flutter. It wasn’t a confession of love, nor a romantic line filled with sweetness, yet why did my heart flutter like this?
“Well, I was surprised. It was considered a huge mistake in our department.”
I raised my voice, afraid that the sound of my beating heart would travel through the phone and reach Ji Seo Joon’s ears.
So, did you get a bit of a break today?
Why was he so affectionate today of all days?
“Ji Seo Joon.”
Hmm?
“Ji Seo Joon, Ji Seo Joon.”
Feeling shy, I called out Ji Seo Joon’s name repeatedly.
Tell me. I’m listening.
“…Just. Because I was bored.”
That’s bland.
“You’re not hanging up?”
Until high school, if I called Ji Seo Joon and teased him, he would hang up without a word.
He was always coolheaded even with such silly pranks.
However, today, whether he had eaten sugar or something, the sweet Ji Seo Joon didn’t hang up the call.
Should I hang up? Why?
“I was joking.”
What if I don’t want to hang up?
I started to feel ticklish from the tip of my nose to my toes. I fiddled with the corner of the blanket with my thumb.
“Can I ask you something?”
Ask.
Thinking that today’s Ji Seo Joon might even answer, I decided to ask a question I was a little, no, very curious about, but didn’t dare to ask.
“The exgirlfriend you went to the arcade with……. Was she pretty?”
‘Doo doo doo doo……’
The signal that the call had been cut off came through.
“Good morning.”
That was the first thing I said as I arrived at work as usual.
“Good morning, deputy.”
Today, for some reason, Baek In Ha arrived early and greeted me.
She usually came at a similar time or arrived a bit late.
“Do you have something urgent? You came to work early today?”
I asked as I came out with coffee from the pantry.
“I had a bit to do. How did you spend your weekend, deputy?”
“I went to the beach for the first time in a while.”
“With whom? Was it by any chance, with researcher Ji Seo Joon?”
“Well……. Yes.”
“Just the two of you?”
Her voice got a bit louder.
Perhaps realizing it herself, she glanced around with wide eyes.
“No. Haha. I went with my parents.”
“Wow. You seem to be close even with his parents.”
“Yes. They are almost like family.”
“So, have you ever seen Ji Seo Joon’s girlfriend, deputy Moon?”
Did Ji Seo Joon have a girlfriend? After a brief pondering. Right.
There was a rumor that Ji Seo Joon had a girlfriend in the company. I had forgotten about it for a moment.
“No……? I haven’t seen her either.”
“I thought you would have seen her…….”
“Well, do I really need to see my friend’s girlfriend? I don’t even want to.”
“Is that so? I think I’d want to see……. I don’t have a male friend. If I had one, I feel like I’d want to. Haha. In fact, I think, ‘There’s no friendship between men and women!'”
“Really?”
It felt as if I was sitting on a bed of thorns.
“What about you, deputy Moon?”
Just a few months ago, I was the one who proclaimed, ‘It’s enough. It’s entirely possible.’ I was the witness.
But now?
However, it was ridiculous to answer ‘I’m not sure’ here.
“Well, I have. I mean. Haha. It’s possible.”
“Really?”
Not wanting to continue this conversation, I quickly changed the subject.
“Baek In Ha. Did you receive a reply from the embassy regarding the request I made last week?”
“Huh? Oh……. Give me a second.”
It might be a little shifty, but I was able to escape the uncomfortable conversation under the pretext of work.
“Deputy Moon, shall we go for a meal together today?”
When there wasn’t much time left for lunch, the team leader offered me lunch.
“Yes?”
The team leader usually ate alone, or with other team leaders. I asked back at his sudden proposal.
“Why? Do you have an appointment?”
“No. Not at all. Just the two of us, team leader and me?”
“Yes.”
I started to feel nervous at the thought of having a meal with the second meticulous team leader in my life.
Did I do something wrong?
As far as I could think, there was nothing other than the plane ticket cancellation incident last week……. I was severely scolded for that, could it be again?
With an anxious heart, I asked the team leader.
“Am I going to get scolded by any chance?”
At my words, the team leader who adjusted his glasses spoke.
“What did you do to get scolded?”
I settled down in a quiet restaurant alone with the team leader for lunch.
“Eat a lot.”
“Yes.”
I nodded and worked hard with my chopsticks. I also didn’t forget to chew thoroughly in case I might get sick. It would be a waste if I got sick after eating this expensive meal.
As the meal was about to end.
The team leader looked at me and carefully opened his mouth.
“Deputy Moon, by any chance, don’t you think about working at an overseas branch?”
