There was no trace of the warm temperature that Ji Na used to love.
“I, I’ll just go to the bathroom for a moment.”
As if sensing the unusual atmosphere between the two, Yun Ju, who had been sobbing with the tissue Do Jin handed her, quietly left her seat.
“Do Jin…”
What on earth did he want her to stop? She wanted to ask, but the words didn’t come out.
Ji Na merely called his name and looked at Do Jin. She was hoping he would say something first.
“Sigh…”
As if mercilessly shattering Ji Na’s hope, Do Jin irritably ran his fingers through his fringe.
“Ji Na.”
There was a tone of restraint in his voice, and Ji Na’s interlocked fingers tensed.
“Miss Yun Ju didn’t know.”
The only thing he managed to say was in defense of employee Heo Yun Ju.
“She could have joined us for dinner. Don’t make her feel uncomfortable for coming alone.”
“Did you know today was our anniversary?”
Do Jin let out a sigh, as if frustrated.
“Yes. I knew. That’s why I asked you out.”
Ji Na felt a sense of relief at just those words. Stupidly, those few words made it seem as though Do Jin still loved her.
“Miss Yun Ju broke up with her boyfriend recently. She’s quite heartbroken. Let’s be nice to her, it’s the decent thing to do.”
The fact that she broke up with her boyfriend wasn’t a reason to share our anniversary.
However, since she was a coworker and had shown tears just moments ago, Ji Na tried to suppress her feelings of disappointment.
“Yes.”
She was still upset, but Ji Na responded to Do Jin as if she was okay.
“Yeah. Ji Na.”
Only then did Do Jin raise the corners of his mouth towards Ji Na.
Soon after, Yun Ju returned. As if she had never cried, she opened her mouth with a bright smile.
“I’m really sorry for intruding like this without realizing. When I saw Manager here, I was so happy that I just went ahead.”
She fiddled with her fingers as she spoke, an action that appeared endearing.
“No, no, it’s a kind of fate that we met this way. Well.”
Do Jin looked happier than ever.
“Oh, fate.”
At Do Jin’s words, Yun Ju covered her mouth with her hand, as if moved.
“I thought Manager and Assistant Manager seemed very nice ever since I joined the company. I guess it really is fate.”
Yun Ju clearly had the ability to get along with people rather than work capabilities.
“What? Hahaha.”
Do Jin burst into loud laughter. While Yun Ju joined in, Ji Na wore a shadow of melancholy.
‘It’s good that Do Jin seems happy.’
Watching them, Ji Na pulled up the corners of her mouth in a bitter smile.
The 5thanniversary meal ended in emptiness. By chance, Do Jin and Yun Ju, whose homes were in the same direction, got into a taxi together.
After seeing them off, Ji Na turned her steps towards the bus stop. It was nearly 10 o’clock, so the streets around the office were quiet.
‘Yun Ju seems quite drunk, so I’ll drop her off on my way.’
She couldn’t really argue with Do Jin’s words.
Yun Ju, who had drunk a lot while talking about her exboyfriend, seemed to struggle to get home on her own. If she got upset again, she would only appear strange, so Ji Na held back.
‘I should have drunk a lot too.’
The disappointment hit her later. The 5th anniversary had passed too emptily. It seemed she was the only one who had looked forward to the 5th anniversary. She felt pathetic for expecting him to propose.
‘It’s not time yet. Or maybe it could be that I had prepared, but didn’t because Hu appeared.’
Ji Na, standing at the bus stop, closed her eyes for a moment, feeling as if Hu’s nagging voice was still echoing in her head.
It was already a stretch to rewrite the report, but the uneasiness lasting until the evening caused fatigue to hit her late. Ji Na, who was dozing off in the quiet bus, managed to get off without missing her stop.
Whether it was due to exhaustion or the release of tension, Ji Na’s body swayed slightly as she got off the bus. Expecting to fall, Ji Na squeezed her eyes shut.
Instead of the anticipated pain, someone grabbed Ji Na’s arm.
“Ah, thank you.”
She didn’t fall thanks to him, but it was equally embarrassing. Instead of looking at the face of the person who helped her, Ji Na bowed her head, said a quick thank you, and hurried off.
“Excuse me.”
She hadn’t taken a few steps when she heard a voice calling her from behind. From the low and soft voice, she knew that the one who helped her was a young man. Wondering if she had made a mistake, Ji Na’s steps slowed.
“Ji Na?”
At the sudden call of her name, Ji Na stopped.
‘Seo Jin Woo?’
Seo Jin Woo stood before Ji Na, who turned around. It was as if Seo Jin Woo from her memory had been reproduced right in front of her.
“Seo…Jin Woo?”
“Sister, have you been well?”
Jin Woo stepped closer to Ji Na in one stride and gave a sunny smile. It felt as though the surroundings, which had been dark, became bright all at once.
His height, which had increased significantly since high school, was enough for Ji Na to have to tilt her head up to see him.
His white skin was still smooth and pale, and his distinct facial features were still beautiful. The white shirt was tightly stretched over his broad shoulders and welldefined muscles.
Seo Jin Woo, as an adult, was fatally attractive.
“Eh, what are you doing here?”
A mixture of joy and surprise made her words come out at random.
“It’s been 10 years. For us.”
Jin Woo’s deep brown eyes looked clearly at Ji Na. The youthful heat in them was as hot as a midsummer’s day.
“I missed you. Sister.”
Jin Woo’s words instantly revived my faded blackandwhite memories.
The eyes that confessed to me on a summer day long ago.
They were the eyes of Seo Jin Woo, who was standing before me now, looking at me.
