Suddenly-
As work hours began, employees began arriving one by one. Manager Yoo Ha-min arrived early and was staring at the door. He was always waiting for Ye-jun to come in.
After a while, Nam Ye-jun comes in urgently and returns to his seat.Yoo Ha-min, sensing this is his chance, immediately leaves the office and approaches Nam Ye-jun. Standing before Ye-jun, Ha-min muses to himself.
Mr. Nam Ye-junStill cute. I'm going crazy. I want to kiss you.‘
But Yoo Ha-min acted differently than expected.
Nam Ye-jun stuttered and spoke in surprise at Manager Yoo Ha-min's sudden appearance.
“Haha..j..good morning..manager..haha”
Yoo Ha-min, who returned to his seat, watches Ye-jun from afar and thinks to himself.
"I want you to work next to me. I want to touch those plump cheeks. You're so cute."
All morning, Yoo Ha-min observed Nam Ye-jun. The surrounding company employees looked at Ha-min strangely, but Yoo Ha-min paid no attention and only looked at Nam Ye-jun.
-am11:00
As soon as it was 11 o'clock, Yoo Ha-min got up from his seat and approached Nam Ye-jun.
“Yejun, if you’re not busy, would you like to see me?”
Nam Ye-jun was taken aback by Yoo Ha-min's sudden call. Perhaps he had made a mistake, or perhaps he was trying to incur some kind of hatred, but he followed him, his body tense. However, Yoo Ha-min, noticing Nam Ye-jun's behavior, spoke to him in a gentle voice.
"Oh, don't be so nervous. I didn't do anything wrong. Would you like to talk in the conference room over there for a moment?"
“Uh..ah..yes..!”
“Huh..Yejun.”
“N..yes..!”
“Yejun…why are you so cute?”
“Huh..yeah..?”
Yu Ha-min, who had a thought that he should just keep to himself for a moment, panicked and covered his mouth with his hand.
“Uh..no, that’s not it..it’s something else..I’m talking about the project that Yejun is in charge of..”
Yejun was deeply embarrassed by Hamin's comment that he was cute. Momentarily confused, Yejun's mind went blank, but Hamin's words about the project brought him back to his senses and he began listening.
“Ah..yes..”
“I think we should change the direction of the project that Yejun is working on.
‘"Ah. How can I leave her alone when she's so cute? I wish the other employees would talk to her."
“Ah..yeah. Then which direction should I go..?”
“I think it would be good to approach things in a more customer-friendly way.”
‘It’s so nice to be talking like this, just the two of us.. I want to talk longer..’
Ha-min kept talking to Ye-jun about work, but inside he was too busy talking.
"Ah...yes, I will proceed accordingly."
"Yes. Then I only trust Yejun. Oh, and one more thing."
"yes?"
Yejun was nervous about Ha-min's words. Please, make it easy, please make it easy...!!!
"This is a bit of a personal request. Could you please grant it?"
“Haha.. of course..!”
‘Why are you asking me for something personal..ㅠㅠㅠ’
"Nothing else. You know I personally cherish Yejun, right? That's why I call you so often."
“Haha…of course I know haha”
Kim Ye-jun, who was slower than others in his job search, couldn't disobey his younger superiors. He needed to do something now to advance his career. However, his slow pace and poor work ethic displeased his superiors, who harassed him. Ye-jun, constantly working overtime, had dark circles under his eyes, and Ha-min was one of those who constantly sought him out. He simply listened to their conversation and let it go.
Ha-min, who had noticed a little, felt good about being alone with them, but also felt sorry.
“So, I have a business trip coming up with you this time… Honestly, Yejun, you look tired even normally, but you seem even more tired lately. I was wondering if you could get a massage before your business trip.”
“Ma..massage..??”
‘Wow… a massage..? It’s so good..?’
Yejun cheered at the word "massage." Ha-min, seeing Yejun's expression so transparent, almost adored him, but he tried to pretend not to notice and spoke again.
“Yes, I’ll make a massage reservation.”
“But… can I get that massage..??”
Ha-min was dumbfounded by Ye-jun's words, but he couldn't show it.
‘Of course you fool! I love you so much!!’
“Haha, of course. I did it for Yejun, so don't worry about it."
"Haha thank you..!"
Ha-min's heart beat faster at the sight of Ye-jun smiling.
“Oh, and one more thing.”
"yes..??"
“Would you like to have dinner with me on the evening of the day you got the massage?”
“Huh..?”
‘What kind of meal is this with my boss? Let me go home and rest!!ㅠ’
Yejun was rolling his eyes, trying to avoid eating with his boss at work because he felt uncomfortable.
"Oh, I don't mean to be a burden. It's just that if we eat together, we can talk about work more comfortably... and just..."
"Hey... don't go. Come eat with me. Okay? Please, Yejun hyung."
“Haha.. Let me check the schedule. Hehehe”
‘Why are you talking about work again when I’m just getting off work? ㅜㅜ’
As Yejun pretends to check his schedule, Hamin anxiously awaits his reply. Hamin, already knowing Yejun's schedule, wants to simply suggest they have dinner together, but he can't, desperately hoping Yejun will say yes. Yejun checks his phone's schedule, only to find nothing. However, his boss's dinner appointment is too burdensome, so he decides to lie.
“Haha..what should I do..I have to meet a friend on this day..haha”
“Ah… a friend?”
‘What? What kind of kid is that? What kind of kid meets Yejun hyung?
“N..yes..! I can't help it..haha I'll definitely eat it next time"
“..Okay. Next time, please send me a KakaoTalk message telling me when you have time to eat.”
“Ah..da..a different day..? I’ll check right away! Haha..“
‘Just let it pass…’
"Okay. Then let me know when you schedule something later. Good work today, Yejun."
‘Yes!!!! I wish it was tomorrow. No, today really isn't possible? If I see you too often, will Yejun-hyung feel burdened?
"If we lived together, we wouldn't have to worry about this. What are you talking about, you crazy bastard Yoo Ha-min?"
Ha-min waved at Ye-jun and left the conference room. There was a smile on Ha-min's face that Ye-jun hadn't noticed. Ha-min, delighted at the prospect of having dinner with Ye-jun, went back to finishing up his afternoon work.
