Unable to see, the seed of doubt kept sprouting. Not being able to run at that time weighed on my mind throughout.
“Could it be my mom?”
A fundamental question popped up in my mind unexpectedly. Being with him made things I wanted to hide visible.
From Zion Group’s history, the old office, to the parents with severed contact, he knew everything that anyone wanted to hide, and he knew it too naturally.
“Hasn’t there been any contact from your parents?”
“No.”
Haejin’s answer was concise. Even without explaining in detail, everything was conveyed in those words. There was no contact, and her mobile phone was still turned off. Despite asking around, it wasn’t easy to find.
Thoughts of her parents crossed her mind several times a day. It firmly occupied a place in her thoughts. Moreover, it even appeared in her dreams a few days ago.
Given such circumstances, seeing a similar silhouette left her heart in turmoil.
“Can you handle it properly?”
Ah, it was as if Haejin had been hit in the head. It was a concern she could easily handle.
She had just taken over Byungsoo’s work a while ago, and with a big project ahead, it was a concern natural for a superior.
“I separate work and personal matters. There’s no problem with work.”
“Really?”
His response was a skeptical one. However, Haejin didn’t want to receive negative points in her work from him.
“I can really handle it well.”
Despite the determination and will contained in Haejin’s words, his reaction remained cold.
“Okay, assuming you work hard, can you catch up with the steps coming towards me?”
Did he mean something other than work?
“If your head is filled with worries about your parents, is there space for me to enter?”
Thud, this time it wasn’t the back of her head but her heart that got a direct hit. He clearly knew the reason why her steps were slow.
If the reason for Haejin’s slowed steps was the situation she was in, he was also saying that he would help cut it off.
Why was her mouth shut at this moment? Why couldn’t she confidently say it? Although she thought she was getting closer, just the silhouette of her parents made her hesitate.
“Okay. If you need my help, feel free to tell me anytime.”
He still reached out his hand to her. His fingertips moved as if to touch or say something to Haejin.
“If your steps slow down, I’ll move the destination forward.”
In the end, I will reach him and tell him, that’s what she was saying.
**
A urgent meeting was called regarding Manager Lee Byungsoo’s sick leave.
The tension was palpable on the faces of the team members at the emergency meeting. Despite only one person missing, it felt like the meeting room was completely empty.
When Haejin said she would handle Byungsoo’s work as well, everyone was puzzled. Even handling the brand launch was somewhat uncertain, but taking on another task made them all suspicious.
“Do we really have to assign it to the designated deputy?”
Representing them, Yeonjeong made a statement. Everyone’s faces agreeing with her words were a bonus.
“Some of Manager Lee’s tasks overlap with what I do, so wouldn’t it be okay if I take on those responsibilities?”
Yeonjeong hid her true feelings and put on a composed demeanor, but she couldn’t conceal the trembling of her lips.
“Many of you may not accept it, but I had significant realizations during this business trip.”
Rather than going into detailed explanations, he made them understand with just one explanation. They were people who knew better than anyone. Going on a business trip with Team Leader Mun Taehong, he knew how demanding it was in terms of both physical and mental strength.
Byungsoo, who had been traveling with the team leader all along, always returned from business trips looking haggard. However, when Haejin returned from a business trip, far from looking exhausted, her skin even had a radiant glow.
Everyone had doubts about whether Haejin was fit for the position designated for Manager Lee. Therefore, if Haejin received positive evaluations from the business trip with Taehong, it was enough to convince them.
“Manager Kim Yeonjeong.”
Yeonjeong’s shoulders twitched. Although she confidently said she could handle it, she was no different from the thoughts of her team members.
“Manager Kim Yeonjeong, please show the best performance in the given tasks.”
“Team Leader.”
Although her trembling shoulders were uncomfortable, H
Haejin made an effort to smile brightly as she started the engine. Since it was already quite late due to prolonged overtime, the roads were deserted.
The wide-open road provided a refreshing feeling for both the body and mind. Engaging in her hobby of driving, the fatigue in her tired body seemed to dissipate. The foot pressing the accelerator was light, and they quickly arrived at Taehong’s house.
“I’ll come again tomorrow morning.”
When Haejin opened the driver’s seat door again, Taehong caught her. With a click, the hand that held Haejin’s wrist exerted strength.
“Do you want to take a walk?”
