"Mr. Choi Soo-bin, you're all set. How's life going?"
"You don't do that to soldiers, bro - I really want to go out."
"When you get a vacation, call me back on time, honey. I'm so sad."
It was a long-awaited drinking party. Soobin, Yeonjun, and I. We were so close in high school...Ugh, memories, huh? Subin, who was on vacation, looked groggy. He briefly dated Sujin, but they broke up and then ran off to the military.No, I enlisted. Why does it seem like I grew taller after joining the military?Then a cold bottle of alcohol touched my cheek. Oh, cold!
"Oh, what the heck! Oppa, you're cold!"
"Focus on us. Why are you thinking about something else? It's been so long since we last saw each other."
"Sorry, sorry"
After Yeonjun entered school, he went straight into the military after finishing the second semester of his first year.He seemed to be working hard in school, but surprisingly, he has now dropped out and is now the owner of a cafe.
Life is so unpredictable. You studied hard, but at 25, you thought about becoming a cafe owner.
"Oh, right. He's returning to school this time."
"who"
"Your ex-boyfriend"
"Do I have more than one ex-boyfriend?"
"Oh, there's that guy, Choi Beom-gyu-!"
***
This is why you shouldn't do CC. Same school and same department as your ex-boyfriend?It's just a mess... I broke up with Beomgyu for a simple reason.
The reason was military service and job preparation. But we still had a bond, so we didn't break up on bad terms.I think we decided to remain friends... What the heck, who would stay friends with their ex-boyfriend, especially someone they'd been with for years?
"Miss Yeoju, where does it hurt? You don't look well."
"Ah... it's okay! Sorry, I'll focus."
South Korea is so damn small. A kid who dropped out of school in his third year of high school and went into hidingHow could we possibly meet as superiors at the same company? Taehyun, it turns out, is a truly remarkable person.
"Would you like to go for a smoke?"
"Ah, yes! Just a moment. I'll just finish this."
I hurriedly saved the file and followed Taehyun. As soon as I got up to the rooftop and took out a cigarette,Taehyun's expression, which had been blank, soon changed to one filled with worry. Taehyun, who was always looking at my face, even though I was smoking,I waved my hand.
"I'm not sick. Are you just looking at my face instead of doing your work?"
"...I'm glad you're not sick. I'll take it easy today and reduce your workload."
"Okay, what power does an employee have to assign workloads to an intern like me?"
Actually, Taehyun can do it. The reason why he went into hiding in his third year of high school.
The current chairman's son, Tae-hyun, went abroad to study to receive the handover of the company.After being discharged from the military, I was able to enter the company right away and get a free pass to become a team leader.Because Taehyun stubbornly refused, I had no choice but to start from the employee level and get promoted step by step.I heard a while ago that you are at this company.
No, seriously, are you Gu Jun-pyo? God is so unfair.
"Anyway, just do it while you're resting. No one's going to tell you anything."
"Please let me get off work."
"Do you want to leave work?"
"Are you crazy? This is an abuse of power." Taehyun, who was smoking a cigarette as if my words were funny, chuckled.By the way, I have to stop by school later... What if I run into Choi Beomgyu?Ha, actually, this is what I was worried about the whole time I was working.
Since we broke up, we haven't met even once because Beomgyu went to the military.I also took a short break from school to gain internship experience, so after my internship is over,Ah! Cha! I had no choice but to run into Choi Beom-gyu.Yeah, don't bump into anything. You won't have to kneel, right?

"Don't listen when I say I'll give you a ride. Why are you so stubborn?"
"I'm sorry, but if I really take the bus, it'll be right there."
"Okay. Where did you say school was?"
When I told him the address, Taehyun gently stepped on the accelerator and started off.Go and submit your documents... see the club members for a bit... say hello to the professorsThen you can come.
"Taehyun, you can drop me off and go right away. Thank you so much for everything today."
"Thank you for everything. If you're so grateful, buy me a meal later."
"Mr. Lee, that's why you gave me a ride."
After arriving at school and getting out of the car, Taehyun followed me out.
Hey, why are you getting off?I looked up in surprise, and saw Taehyun standing next to me, grabbing his wallet and saying a few words, "I'll buy you coffee."
We ended up walking side by side and ended up going into a cafe inside the school.
"Two iced Americanos, please." When I handed over my card first, Taehyun looked back at me with a questioning look.
As I finished paying the bill, pushing Taehyun away, Taehyun laughed and said,
"You're all grown up, Kim Yeo-ju."
"You're funny. Have some coffee."
"Want to have a drink later?"
"Huh? Alcohol?"
..Um, okay! It's the weekend anyway. I nodded and Taehyun said he'd leave the car behind.After exchanging greetings, I left the cafe. I guess I should get up now, too.
As I got up from my seat, someone stood in front of me and blocked my path.
What the heck, some kid, huh..
"Who is this... How have you been, Kim Yeo-ju?"
