“You said you were working late today, what brings you here? Did you finish your work and come?”
As Ji Hoon left the store with his team members, he asked, the corner of his mouth lifted into a smirk.
“Yes. I just finished and I’m on my way home.”
“Ah. So you came to join the dinner party.”
“No. I was just wondering if you were enjoying your meal.”
Despite his smiling lips, a variety of colorful curses towards Ji Hoon were contained in Ha Joon’s gaze.
“You all have to come to work tomorrow, why don’t you wrap it up now? Min. Ji. Hoon. Team leader.”
Each word he spat out was filled with force.
“We were planning to end the first round about now anyway.”
Upon confirming Ha Joon’s gaze, which seemed about to charge at any moment, Ji Hoon quickly turned to his team members.
“Okay. We’re ending the first round here. And as you all know, our team participates in the dinner party voluntarily, without coercion.”
The employees’ attention was focused on Ji Hoon.
“Those who want to go to the second round from now on, move to the left. Those who want to wrap up with the first round, move to the right. Okay. Let’s move.”
At Ji Hoon’s words, the employees quickly moved, dividing into left and right.
“I’m going left. I’ll go left.”
Su Ah, who had been sitting on the flower bed, kicked off her spot and stood up.
Left? If it’s left…… she’s going to the second round?
She can’t even open her eyes properly, what does she mean she’s going to the second round?
Ha Joon gently moved Su Ah, who had somehow ended up among the employees on the left, over to the right by her shoulder.
“Okay. Now let’s start according to your decisions. Let’s move!”
The employees disappeared in an instant, and only Ha Joon and Su Ah were left on the street.
“Ms. Su Ah. Can you walk? I’ll buy some hangover relief medicine, so please sit here for a moment.”
After seating Su Ah at an outdoor table set up in front of a nearby convenience store, Ha Joon quickly headed inside.
A moment later.
“Miss Su Ah? Miss Su Ah!”
There was no sign of Su Ah, who should have been sitting on the chair.
Where on earth had she gone in that brief moment?
Surely she hadn’t gone somewhere absurd, thinking of going for a second round?
Ha Joon, with an anxious heart, hurriedly began searching for Su Ah.
“Why are you here? What did you say? You were here yesterday?”
Ha Joon’s gaze caught Su Ah, who was in conversation with someone.
“Miss Su Ah. Who are you talking to right now…”
He paused.
Upon identifying who she was talking to, Ha Joon stopped in his tracks.
Could it be. Was she actually talking to a fish right now?
Spotting Su Ah mumbling to herself, gripping onto an aquarium installed in front of a sushi restaurant, Ha Joon was at a loss for words.
“What are you doing here?”
At Ha Joon’s question, Su Ah looked up and pointed at the aquarium.
“Mr. Ha Joon. Do you see this flatfish? Here. Here.”
“Yes. I see it.”
“This flatfish was caught yesterday. Its family must still be in the ocean. It’s so pitiful, isn’t it?”
Su Ah looked up at Ha Joon, her face looking as if she was about to burst into tears at any moment.
“……”
At a loss for words, Ha Joon just stared at Su Ah, who quickly turned her head and started mumbling to herself again.
“I’ll send you back to your family. Just wait a moment.”
In a split second, Ha Joon swiftly grabbed Su Ah’s hand that was about to plunge into the water.
“You can’t do this!”
“Doesn’t Mr. Ha Joon feel pity for this flatfish? Look at its eyes. It’s crying because it misses its family.”
Where on earth was he supposed to look at the freely swimming fish to see it crying?
“They had gone out for a moment to find food for their young, and they didn’t expect to be caught. Their family is still waiting for the head of the family, believing he will bring food.”
At this point, it seemed plausible that she really had a conversation with the flatfish.
“We have to save them. We have the duty to do so.”
Ha Joon eventually went into the shop and purchased a flatfish.
Su Ah, who had been crouched in front of the aquarium, spotted Ha Joon coming out after paying and staggered to her feet.
“Here it is.”
For some reason, Su Ah began to close the distance towards Ha Joon, who was holding out the bag.
Before he knew it, Su Ah, who had approached up to his chin, grabbed the collar of his shirt and lifted her head.
A distance close enough to hear each other’s breathing.
Ha Joon swallowed dryly.
“Mr. Ha Joon……”
His gaze fell on Su Ah’s lips as she trailed off, and Ha Joon’s lips moved in response to her trembling movement.
Was it the right time to close his eyes?
At the moment when Ha Joon’s eyelids were slowly lowering as he was reading the mood.
“Congratulations on becoming the savior of the flatfish’s life.”
Su Ah gave a couple of light pats on Ha Joon’s chest and turned around.
‘……Ha Joon. What on earth were you expecting.’
Looking at the back of Su Ah, who was walking ahead humming a tune, Ha Joon couldn’t help but laugh in disbelief.
The next morning.
Awoken by the loud alarm ringing, Su Ah twisted her entire body in her sleep.
“Ah, my head……”
She was suffering from a hangover that came with waking, when the room door was thrown open.
“Su Ah! How much did you drink?”
“Huh? Jung Da Eun. Why are you here so early in the morning?”
“Why am I here? Don’t you remember what happened yesterday?”
Huh? What happened yesterday?
Su Ah’s eyes widened as she cocked her head.
“Yesterday? Yesterday was the company dinner……”
She trailed off, trying to jog her memory,
“But how did I get in? Why can’t I remember?”
Why did the film cut out every time she drank recently?
Or was it that she drank until the film cut out?
“Did I cause another accident?”
Her heart began to beat irregularly with the wave of anxiety that washed over her.
“Yeah, better not to remember. That would be good for your mental health.”
“What does that mean? What? How did I get in? Huh?”
Instinctively sensing that things had become complicated, Su Ah grabbed Da Eun’s hem and begged her to speak.
“Come out first. We’ll talk outside.”
Da Eun shook off Su Ah’s hand as if she were a bug and left the room, followed by Su Ah, her face pale with anxiety.
“……?”
Entering the living room, Su Ah’s eyes fixed on one place.
A transparent plastic bag, conspicuously placed on the living room table, and a flatfish moving leisurely within.
“What is that? Did you buy it? You don’t even know how to fillet, why did you buy a live one?”
Right. Since she couldn’t remember the events of last night, she could ask such a composed question.
Sigh. Da Eun let out a deep sigh and began to talk about another dark chapter in Su Ah’s history that had come to light.
