“Report submission times have been delayed lately.”
"I'm sorry I'm late because I had an appointment late at night. I'll try to be more on time in the future."
“And that’s all you know?”
“But I wonder what else we need to find out here.”
“Just find out what he’s doing outside and why he’s not coming home. Take care of Choi Soo-bin or something.”
"yes."
Wow, I was so scared. Lately, I've been writing Kang Tae-hyun's report carelessly and spending my time in my own way, so this is how I ended up returning to work. I didn't do it on purpose... No, that's right. My conscience pricked me, so I had to do something. And I don't believe that's the way to deal with Choi Soo-bin.
“Subin, do you want to meet up? I’ll buy you drinks.”
“Alcohol?”
“Just a little... No, no. I’ll contact you later.”
“No, no, I was just worried that Mr. XX might have fallen out with me after seeing me drunk. Thank goodness that wasn’t the case. See you later!”
I suddenly felt so depressed that I called Subin. Actually, I didn't want to drink, but hearing Subin's voice made me want to drink. I also want to quit my job. Oh, that last thought is something I think about every day.

“Subin, of course you have an ex-girlfriend, right?”
“Huh? Uh… yes. There is one.”
“How was it?”
“We just… broke up on bad terms.”
"why?"
“…. Did I seem easy? Haha. He kept making strange requests. While we were dating, he asked me to meet Taehyun, and he even asked for luxury bags several times.”
“Really? You guys are really going too far. So? Are you mad?”
“Uh… I don’t mind, but Taehyun got angry instead.”
“Well, he’s not the type of person to just sit still.”
“Haha. This wound isn’t Taehyun’s fault, but he thinks it’s his fault and feels very sorry.”
After taking a sip of his drink, he showed me the scar on his arm. Was it a knife cut? Was this the injury that the chairman Kang Tae-hyun said he had caused? The scar was quite big. All sorts of thoughts came to mind, and at the same time, I felt guilty.
“I don’t want to be one of those people.”
“Huh? My ex-girlfriend???? What… We’re not even dating yet…! Are we dating..?”
No matter how much the chairman tells me to do, I absolutely do not want to hurt these two. Of course, I do not want to hurt them either, but it seems like it is already too late.
“Are we dating, Mr. XX?”
"yes?"
Choi Soo-bin hit the table hard once, grabbed it, and spoke. Is this a confession? I checked Choi Soo-bin's glass just in case, and sure enough, it was empty.
“If I ask you out, will you accept me?”
“Yes, I don’t really hate it.”
“Then I’ll buy it. I’ll let it slide even if you pretend not to know after sobering up.”
“Really? Oh, no. I’ll definitely remember. Can I tell Taehyun?”
“Uh… I’ll tell you tomorrow. After I sober up haha.”
Since I won't remember anyway, I just suggested we date. And I'd be fine with dating someone like this, as long as Kang Tae-hyun doesn't give a shit.
