I’m screwed. I was totally screwed.
Working at the same company with that guy. The ground seemed to fall out from under me, and I felt like my strength had left me.
“Why are you reacting like that?”
“Huh? Oh, no. It’s a company I’ve never heard of. Haha. Hahaha.”
I lied without realizing it. Since I had lied, I decided to hide until I could remain hidden.
Given the nature of the team I was on, it was impossible not to run into each other. So, I decided to delay the inevitable.
Based on my experiences so far, the later I got involved with this guy, the better.
“Where do you work?”
Ji Seo Joon asked with a smug look, crossing his arms.
“Me? Well… You wouldn’t know even if I told you. It’s a small company… small… very small.”
“Don’t they have a website? I can search for it.”
“Ah! No, they don’t have a website! It’s a very harmonious company run by a family. Very, family! It’s like a family company. Have you heard of it? Huh?”
At my flustered, rambling speech, one of Ji Seo Joon’s thick, clear eyebrows went up.
“It seemed like the lady said where you work…”
Mrs. Kim In Young had spread rumors around the neighborhood when I got a job.
In a recession, I had managed to get a job in a foreign company and had been very proud for a while.
Apparently, she had even called Ji Seo Joon, who was in America at the time.
I was nervous that smart Ji Seo Joon might remember the name of my company.
“The soup is served.”
While I was trembling with anxiety, the food arrived at a good time.
I had brought him to a soup restaurant he wanted to go to.
The red and deliciouslooking soup was bubbling away. Chives, kimchi, and mixed pickles were harmoniously arranged as side dishes.
As I cut the mixed pickles with scissors to make them easier to eat, I spoke.
“Are you hungry? Eat quickly. The food here is incredibly delicious.”
I urged him to eat quickly so that the guy sitting in front of me could no longer think.
This was a place I liked very much. It was a wellknown restaurant near the office, and despite being a bit far away, I often came because the taste lingered in my mind.
Ji Seo Joon loved Korean food. His tastes were quite traditional, which made me wonder how he had been in America for 10 years….
No, wait.
On second thought, Ji Seo Joon had lived in America for exactly 8 years. He had come back to Korea in the middle to serve in the military.
At that time, I went to England for language training and immediately went on a working holiday in Australia, so I didn’t run into him.
My life abroad was a kind of escape.
Even while living in the military, there was a system of leave. It was certain that I would be tormented by that guy whenever he was on leave.
I remember that Ji Seo Joon seemed quite disappointed at that time.
“You should eat too.”
After urging me, Ji Seo Joon scooped a spoonful and took it to his mouth. He was eating it so deliciously.
The way Ji Seo Joon, who doesn’t eat in tiny bites, ate was the only thing about him that I liked.
Seeing Ji Seo Joon eat made me feel hungry, so I quickly picked up my spoon.
“Auntie, one bottle of soju here, please.”
Fortunately, it seemed that he had stopped thinking about the company I was working at, and I was relieved.
Since I was relieved, I enjoyed the soup leisurely.
As I enjoyed the soup, naturally, the thought of alcohol came up. Without asking his opinion, I ordered soju.
Soju is for soup. It shouldn’t be missing, right. Indeed.
When I came here for lunch during the week, I couldn’t order soju. That had always been a regret.
“Drinking from the daytime?”
“It’s cheating if you don’t drink soju when eating soup.”
“What on earth have you been doing while I was away?”
I had never had a drink with Ji Seo Joon, who had been with me up until high school.
Should I call it fortunate?
Ji Seo Joon was a little scary when it came to showing another side of me.
If Ji Seo Joon had met the other me in my twenties, I wouldn’t have been able to touch a drop of alcohol till now. The thought alone was dizzying.
The restaurant auntie silently brought a bottle of soju and two soju glasses to our table.
“Do you want to drink too?”
I shook the soju bottle vigorously, creating a whirl.
Ji Seo Joon, who had just been diligently doing wrist exercises while watching me, snatched the soju bottle from my hand.
Then he coolly opened the soju cap and poured it into my glass. Then he handed me the soju bottle.
“Have you ever drunk soju before?”
“Yes, when I came out on leave from the military.”
I tilted the soju bottle given by Ji Seo Joon and asked him while pouring soju into his glass.
“I see. That’s a good experience.”
I replied in a low voice and filled Ji Seo Joon’s soju glass. I put down the bottle and lifted the glass filled with sparkling soju.
“What are you doing?”
“We should cheer!”
At my words, he chuckled and raised his glass to toast with mine.
“Khuhaa. This is good.”
I emptied the soju in one gulp and used the soup as a side dish. This is it. I was satisfied.
“Really. Are you an old man? What’s with that reaction?”
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
