“What should we do? The rain is heavier than expected.”
Suddenly, due to the rain, Shin Yeon and the employees retreated to the car.
The raindrops that had been pattering became thicker over time.
Shin Yeon looked out the window with worried eyes.
“Manager Shin, it’s going to be hard to move to the next location. They say all the sites are pulling out now.”
The construction company manager said, checking the messages on his cell phone.
The rain that was supposed to arrive late at night started pouring in the afternoon, and the light rain mentioned in the forecast quickly turned into a downpour.
A heavy rain warning had been issued in Busan.
“Since it looks like it’ll stop overnight, let’s check the rest of the site tomorrow.”
The conclusion was one.
Extended business trip.
Thinking of the tasks that would be delayed due to the aftermath, Shin Yeon already felt a headache.
“Will you be okay?”
“Since we have to see everything when we came, we can’t help it.”
Shin Yeon said, glancing at Do Jun sitting next to her.
“The business trip seems to be extended, are you okay with that?”
“Do I have any authority?”
Despite his gentle words, his expression was hard.
Fortunately, the employees were riding in front, so they couldn’t see Do Jun’s expression.
Only Shin Yeon, who confirmed his expression alone, was extremely tense.
“Manager Shin, I’ll schedule the rest of the schedule for tomorrow.”
“Ah, yes.”
“The car is at the company, right? I’ll take you there first.”
At the employee’s words, Shin Yeon paused in thought.
“Ah, that’s…”
“Yes?”
“Can you please take me straight to the hotel?”
“If you’re going to eat later, wouldn’t it be more convenient to take the car from the office?”
The manager asked, wondering why Shin Yeon insisted on not taking the car.
Do Jun also tilted his head.
“Ah, I think I’ll have to take care of dinner at the hotel anyway. It’s raining too much…”
Shin Yeon answered awkwardly with a smile.
“Is that so? Indeed, it’s not a little rain.”
It was a serious downpour.
The employee nodded and started the car.
“Then we’ll go straight to the hotel. You won’t see well ahead, so buckle up.”
Shin Yeon grabbed the seatbelt with an anxious look in her eyes.
Sweat gathered in the hand holding the belt.
((()))
“Thank you for the ride.”
“Not at all. See you tomorrow then. Manager Shin. And you, Hyun Woo.”
Thud.
As Shin Yeon closed the door, the car left the lobby.
The car quickly disappeared from sight due to the fog caused by the heavy rain.
“I’ve become tired.”
The afternoon grew dark.
As it was only Shin Yeon and him left, the help of the night, Do Jun, once again poured out his discontent.
“Who’s going to say anything? Why did you bring me here to put me through this trouble!”
She was just as tired.
If he hadn’t grabbed her by the neck and dragged her to Busan, none of this would have happened to Shin Yeon.
Tch.
“Joking? You’re the one who sent me here from the beginning.”
“Hmm, hmm.”
With a fake cough, Shin Yeon quickly entered the lobby.
Do Jun followed her and continued talking.
“But why didn’t you bring the car? It’s inconvenient.”
Do Jun found it strange that Shin Yeon hadn’t brought a car from the company.
“That’s all because of the new employee.”
“I said it was Seo Do Jun.”
Oops.
That old battle always strangely emphasized the hierarchy when the two were present.
“I hate driving when it rains.”
Shin Yeon hated the rain.
Rather than hate, it was closer to fear.
Like a jinx, rain was always a part of her misfortune.
That’s why she hated rainy days. Especially driving on rainy days.
“So, why is that because of me?”
“If we had insured together, none of this would have happened!”
Shin Yeon spoke with a sense of injustice.
Earlier today, Shin Yeon had sneakily tried to switch driving with Do Jun at a rest stop.
However, it was immediately rejected.
The reason was that Do Jun had applied for the vehicle in front of Shin Yeon, and he had not registered for insurance separately.
From the beginning, only I was unknowingly planned. A meticulous child.
“Insurance? Shin Yeon, really.”
“What!”
Do Jun, who stopped in front of Shin Yeon, let out a small sigh, gently placing his hand on her head.
“Don’t you know that anyone over a certain age can drive a corporate car insurance?”
“Eh?”
“The vehicle was applied under the name Shin Yeon. And I am two years older than you.”
“WWhat does that mean right now?”
Shin Yeon was not even aware that Do Jun’s hand was on her head.
At this moment, there was only one thing she could feel.
Anger.
“What do you mean.”
He bent down, meeting eyes with Shin Yeon who was glaring fiercely.
“I’m saying you worked hard driving.”
And then, with a playful smile, he lightly messed up her hair.
It was a tender touch, as if praising a little child for doing a good job.
On the other hand, Shin Yeon was glaring at Do Jun with her lower lip tightly bitten.
You, you…
“Your lip will hurt. Stop tormenting yourself.”
You’re the one tormenting me! My lips are the victim.
Do Joon lowered his hand with a smile, but the anger in Shin Yeon’s eyes did not subside.
