The mouth of Da Jung, standing in the center of the vast lobby, opened slightly.
As fitting for the size of the massive building, the structure was incredibly complicated. Surely, large corporations were different in many ways.
“Be at the 9th floor of the head office by 2 o’clock. Don’t be late.”
While intently looking at the building guide, Da Jung’s head tilted in confusion. Do Jun only mentioned the 9th floor, but didn’t specify whether it was the 9th floor of the East or West building.
She was about to call Do Jun to confirm when an unfamiliar voice echoed from behind her.
“Yoo Da Jung?”
Surprised, she reflexively turned around to see a quite familiar man. Surprise and shock crossed Da Jung’s face simultaneously.
“My goodness! Seong Woo, is that you? It’s been ages!”
“It’s been over 5 years, hasn’t it? Wow, it really has been a long time. You haven’t changed a bit.”
Lee Seong Woo. He was a classmate of Do Jun, and also a senior of Da Jung by two years in her department.
“How did you…? Oh right, you transferred to Myung Han Construction, didn’t you? Do Jun mentioned it.”
“I heard from Do Jun that you’re working together.”
“Did you come in on the MH Department Store project?”
“Yes, I did. I’ve been assigned to the project development team for this job. Considering we have to revamp all the stores nationwide, it’s going to be a bit of a headache.”
Given that the project was commissioned by Myung Han Distribution, it was only natural that the construction would be taken care of by Myung Han Construction, a company in the same group.
The MH Department Store project was a plan to revamp the outdated image of the existing Myung Han Department Stores.
A flagship store was scheduled to be built on the riverside site that they had secured. Once the bid was confirmed, they would collaborate with Myung Han Construction for design modifications and construction.
The fact that they were able to carry out the design and construction inhouse, but still put out a call for proposals, showed a strong desire to advertise this project as a massive overhaul.
If they could secure this project, there was a high chance that Han Bit would be involved in a consortiumstyle arrangement for future remodeling or new construction design of Myung Han Department Stores across the country.
A look of confusion crossed the cheerful face of Seong Woo.
“I thought Do Jun was coming today?”
“Do Jun had some work to do.”
“Is he still doing well?”
“The President is extremely competent, as you know.”
As Da Jung chuckled and joked, Seong Woo also laughed, albeit a bit faintly.
When she mentioned she was lost, Seong Woo told her that the meeting would be held in the small auditorium on the 9th floor of the East building.
Since they were headed to the same destination, the two of them headed to the information desk together. After showing their IDs and explaining their purpose of visit, they were issued necklacestyle access cards.
While they were waiting side by side for the elevator, Seong Woo asked,
“But didn’t you get married? Why didn’t you invite me? I’m hurt.”
“Married…?”
As Da Jung looked confused, Seong Woo’s eyes widened in surprise.
“I heard you had a child, no?”
“Ah… Yes. That’s correct. I have a child.”
Da Jung confirmed generously. She thought Seong Woo must have heard about it from Do Jun.
“I saw Do Jun at the toy corner when I went to the department store with my wife a while ago. I thought, when did this guy get married without me
Living so busy, there had been no opportunity to attend alumni meetings or gatherings, not that she was deliberately hiding anything.
Of course, as it was a group known for their gossip and scandals, there was nothing good to gain from stirring the pot.
Seungwoo, who got on the justarrived elevator, casually continued the conversation.
“So, how old is your child?”
“She’s five years old.”
“So, you got married right after graduation. You must have been busy raising a kid, haven’t seen your face in a while. Well, looking at my wife, I feel sorry for her as she is always overwhelmed with the kids.”
“Your kids must have grown a lot too.”
“The oldest is in third grade, the second will enroll next year, and the youngest is still breastfeeding.”
His face, twisted in a bitter smile, was a mix of disappointment and embarrassment. Seungwoo and his wife, who were the Campus CC, had married early due to a rush and already had three kids.
“Is your sister doing well?”
“She’s busy scratching her pot. She complains a lot when I try to take a nap on the weekends, asking if this is a boarding house. You must be the same, right? Men also suffer, so try to understand and live.”
With regret, Seungwoo swallowed a sigh at the reality of men’s hardships being overlooked.
Dajeong fell into thought for a moment. She wondered if it was right to leave Seungwoo misunderstanding as it was.
It seemed that Dojoon had left out any talk of marriage or her husband and only talked about the child. She wasn’t the type to talk too much about this and that anyway.
