“Today, once again, seeing Jae Oh, who had arrived at work before me, the surprised secretary Yang spoke to Woo Jong.
“Secretary Kim. Won’t the Director collapse at this rate? I think he’s been pushing himself too hard these days….”
As she said, Jae Oh’s recent schedule had been murderous.
So, they should have been rightfully struggling to help their boss with his work, but Jae Oh, who was undertaking work that didn’t need to be done, declined the secretaries’ help and insisted on working alone.
Although they were listening to their boss’s orders for now, Woo Jong began to worry increasingly about Jae Oh.
“He’s not even eating properly.”
“Yes.”
One should eat well when one takes on a lot of work voluntarily, but he did not, and he noticeably lost weight.
‘It seems to be because of Lady…’
Jae Oh’s workload increased from the time Chae Yoon left home.
‘Should I call her and ask her to come over for a while.’
Woo Jong’s head shook from side to side.
It was his boss’s private life. Unless Jae Oh commanded, he could not intervene.
Heaving a sigh, Woo Jong wished for Jae Oh to return to his normal state as soon as possible.
Amidst the tense atmosphere, it became lunchtime.
Due to the schedule, Woo Jong, who had visited a nearby hotel restaurant with Jae Oh, was walking ahead of him.
But suddenly, Woo Jong’s steps halted.
Jae Oh’s face frowned as the path was blocked.
“What is it.”
“Ah, that…”
Woo Jong seemed both troubled and somehow pleased.
Jae Oh, who noticed Woo Jong’s strange expression, stared behind him.
In the place where Jae Oh’s gaze stopped, there was Chae Yoon.
Chae Yoon was with some woman, and as they conversed, a faint smile appeared on her momentarily gloomy white face.
A tiny tremble occurred in Jae Oh’s eyes at the sight.
“……”
It was barely a month since Chae Yoon left the house.
The day Chae Yoon left home, Jae Oh neither saw her off nor contacted her separately.
He only focused on work. It was the only way he could keep her out of his mind.
The effect of the method was good. He thought he could forget soon at this rate.
However, the problem began the next day.
She came to mind no matter where he looked in the house.
The image of Chae Yoon getting ready for work, the sound of the conversation between Ji Phil and Chae Yoon occasionally heard after returning from work, the image of eating at the dining table, and so on. Even the things that did not bother him when Chae Yoon and he began using separate rooms, all bothered him alike.
What he felt then was emptiness.
A sense of loss given by the feeling that something that should be there is not, and that something is missing.”
Overwhelmed by emotions beyond imagination, Jae Oh found it distasteful even to enter his home. Sleep eluded him and he had no appetite, so he inevitably extended his work hours.
He thought that if he worked, he would be less preoccupied, but that was futile. Even the work that he had tirelessly enjoyed achieving suddenly felt meaningless.
[It’ll be okay after a while.] He sneered at the comfort.
That it will be okay.
‘You like it when things get better.’
Nothing was getting better. On the contrary, he felt even more drained than when he had heard those words, causing wrinkles to form on Jae Oh’s forehead.
Could he call her when he had sorted out his thoughts?
How could you speak with such certainty when I don’t even understand my own feelings?
He wanted to ask her why she did that, a feeling as strong as a chimney, but he couldn’t go.
[Contact me when you sort out your thoughts.] Because he hadn’t sorted out anything.Rather, seeing Chae Yoon now seemed to complicate things even more, so Jae Oh sighed deeply and looked away from her.
His steps towards the rendezvous point were heavy.
((()))
A laugh burst from Eun Ha’s lips as she listened to Chae Yoon’s story.
“Are you still scared of being alone?”
Chae Yoon, who had started living alone, was still scared to be alone at night. Eun Ha laughed at the cute Chae Yoon, but Chae Yoon was serious.
“Don’t laugh at me. I’m serious.”
She wondered why it was so depressing to have no one to greet her when she got home.
Judging by the fact that the first person she thought of when she entered the empty house was Ji Phil, it seemed that it was because she had been talking with Ji Phil almost every day, but even so, she should have gotten used to living alone after three weeks.
Why does an empty house still feel so desolate and void?
Unable to calm her feelings, Chae Yoon wondered how she could adapt to this situation. How can she enjoy living alone like Eun Ha?
“Is it because the house is too big?”
When she even mentioned the size of the house, Eun Ha faintly smiled and countered.
“Don’t you think the problem is not the size of the house?”
“Then what’s the problem?”
“It’s the heart that’s the problem.”
Those words hit the mark. With no immediate rebuttal in mind, Chae Yoon slightly nodded and lowered her gaze.
“Tell me honestly. Don’t you miss Han Sang Moo?”
Chae Yoon’s eyes, which had been drooping sullenly, popped open in surprise.
