Then wait a moment. I’m going to hang up for a bit.
His somewhat rough breathing echoed in her ear. Ji Na sat still, clutching her disconnected phone tightly in her hand.
Feeling as if her consciousness was being sucked into the dark world, she lay her head on the desk and closed her eyes tightly.
While sitting in her chair, her legs involuntarily trembled.
Inhaling deeply, Ji Na tried to overcome her fear.
Think only of fun and good things. This tiny thing isn’t scary at all.
In the meantime, her mobile phone battery completely died out. It felt as if her tiny courage, like her phone battery, had also been completely discharged.
‘Will I have to endure like this until morning?’
She heard the sound of footsteps running down the hallway. At the same time, the office door opened. Simultaneously, a beam of light shone in. It was a phone flashlight.
“Sister.”
It was Jin Woo. The moment she heard Seo Jin Woo’s voice, her body immediately relaxed. She pressed her hands against her burning eyes, as if tears were about to come out. Jin Woo approached Ji Na.
“Sister, are you okay?”
Ji Na, who had sat up, nodded.
“Why did you come so quickly?”
It was only a few minutes after the call. Even if he had left home, he couldn’t have arrived this quickly.
“You won’t be angry, will you?”
“Huh?”
Her eyes widened slightly at his unexpected words.
“I was at a cafe near the office.”
“Why?”
Was there perhaps a meeting?
“I was worried about you, sister.”
Ji Na lightly bit her lip at his unexpected answer.
“Ah, so… just in case something happened.”
Jin Woo said, looking at Ji Na, seeming a little awkward. He seemed to be thinking she would definitely be angry.
“Ah…”
With the tension eased, tears finally fell. All her effort to appear strong, to appear brave, had been ruined.
“Sister, are you crying?”
Confused by Ji Na’s sobbing, Jin Woo didn’t know what to do and looked at Ji Na.
“I’m not crying. Sob.”
Once the tears burst out, they flowed continuously like a broken dam. Why did Jin Woo have to see her clumsy and weak side? She wanted to appear more mature, but she felt so foolish.
Jin Woo’s large hand gently patted Ji Na’s back. Soothed by his touch, laughter suddenly slipped out of her. The situation was too absurd.
“If you laugh after crying, it’s serious.”
Her laughter grew louder at Jin Woo’s voice, jokingly speaking in a faux serious tone.
“It’s already serious.”
While wiping her tears and lifting her head, Ji Na mumbled in a nasal voice.
“I’m ruined.”
Looking at the monitor, Ji Na’s voice was deflated, it was depressing. It was clear that all the data she had corrected all day had been wiped out.
“Should I just die?”
The thought of seeing Do Jin’s smug face, as if he knew this would happen, made her think that dying might be better.
“Don’t act like you’ve seen it all.”
Jin Woo chided Ji Na.
“No, should I just quit?”
If fate has abandoned me, I might as well let loose in life.
As Ji Na talked in a ‘whatever happens, happens’ manner, Jin Woo chuckled.
“Did you touch anything before the lights went out?”
“A photocopier.”
“Ah.”
Jin Woo, holding his phone, headed towards the photocopier. As soon as he pulled the cord and fiddled with something in the corner of the office, the office brightened.
“Wow, there’s light.”
Was this how the first humans felt when they discovered fire? The office brightened in an instant, it was welcoming.
“Will the computer be restored?”
At Ji Na’s tense voice, Jin Woo smiled softly.
“I’ll give it a try.”
Seo Jin Woo took Ji Na’s seat.
“Is that possible?”
Ji Na’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“I’ll do my best.”
As soon as his words finished, the computer screen booted up, and Jin Woo’s hands on the keyboard sped up. The face of Seo Jin Woo staring at the monitor was very serious, unlike a moment ago.
How many minutes had passed?
“Phew, it’s done.”
The fastmoving hands stopped and hit enter. Simultaneously, the monitor was restored to the same screen as before it turned off. Ji Na raised her hand in disbelief and covered her mouth.
“Wow. Is it really, really done?”
“Now, stop saying you’re going to die.”
Jin Woo spoke with a somewhat serious tone. As if rushing for a reply, his gaze drilled into Ji Na.
“Uh, okay.”
Ji Na spoke with a sheepish face. She still couldn’t believe the skill he had demonstrated.
Not only the nearly perfect research but also the computer… Ji Na stared at him for a moment. It was unbelievable that such a perfect talent, who had even studied abroad, had just come in as an intern.
Maybe, just maybe. A multitude of assumptions rose in her mind.
“What… what are you?”
Seo Jin Woo, what are you?
Jin Woo’s subdued gaze intertwined with Ji Na’s in midair. A peculiar tension hung in the air surrounding them. Ji Na stared at Jin Woo with a suspicious look.
“I am,”
Eventually, Jin Woo’s lips parted.
“An intern.”
The atmosphere suddenly chilled. Ji Na raised her eyebrows in disbelief.
“I mean, besides the obvious.”
“That’s all there is.”
Jin Woo raised the corner of his mouth gently. For some reason, his handsome face made Ji Na’s mouth feel dry.
“Why, with such skills, did you come to this company just as an intern?”
Ji Na wanted to know. She wanted to know the fact that he had really come here.
“Can I tell you?”
His affectionate gaze, filled with an unknowable emotion, was looking at Ji Na.
“Yes.”
She wanted to hear his sincerity. She was also curious about his identity.
Jin Woo slowly bowed his torso towards Ji Na.
“Because you’re here.”
At his significantly lowered voice, Ji Na’s eyes trembled.
“That’s my true feeling.”
The face of Seo Jin Woo, dangerously unfamiliar, devoid of the playful expression a moment ago, was visible.
