“ …,, ”
윤예지
“ ? Why are you standing like that? ”
정채은
“ Th-... you know our regular customer, right? “
윤예지
“ Yeah, why? ”
정채은
“ Yesterday… he confessed to me …,, “
윤예지
“ Seriously? No way..! ”
정채은
“ But .. I still haven’t answered him ”
윤예지
“ I think he’ll come again today too ”
정채은
“ I guess so…? ”
윤예지
“ If he comes, give him your answer ”
정채은
“ Yeji, say something sensible… we’re busy, you know ”
윤예지
“ Ah _ right ,, but I still have to answer him ”
박성호
“ Manager Seo, what do you want to drink? ”
정채은
“ ??… He’s here ”
윤예지
“ I’ll take the order, you make it for him ”
정채은
“ Okay ”
윤예지
“ Welcome, would you like to order? “
박성호
“ Umm .. one lemon iced tea and two cafe mochas, please ”
윤예지
“ Yes, that’ll be 4,500 won ”
박성호
“ Please charge this card ”
윤예지
“ Yes “
정채은
“ The iced tea’s done.. I should make the cafe mochas ”
윤예지
“ Want me to pull the espresso shot? ”
정채은
“ Yeah, that’d help, thanks ”
윤예지
“ ㅇㅋ ”
정채은
“ One lemon iced tea, two cafe mochas are ready “
박성호
“ Thank you “
박성호
“ Oh, and… Ms. Chae-eun.. ”
정채은
“ Yes ? “
박성호
“ Would you like to have dinner with me sometime? ”
정채은
“ Uh.. sure ,, okay ”
박성호
“ (( smiles “
정채은
“ Be careful on your way home..,, ”
박성호
“ Yes, I’ll enjoy it ”
윤예지
“ You and that guy actually suit each other pretty well ”
정채은
“ Huh ? ”
윤예지
“ You two oddly look good together ”
정채은
“ Really? ”
윤예지
“ Yeah, seriously, you match really well ”
정채은
“ I don't know ,, ”
윤예지
“ You really have no feelings for that president from earlier? ”
정채은
“ What feelings..? It’s a customer-employee relationship .. ”
윤예지
“ He’s a regular, and he’s been coming since last year ”
정채은
“ That may be true.. but he should meet a good person ”
윤예지
“ You are a good person yourself ”
정채은
“ What.. heh ”
윤예지
“ I want to date too “
정채은
“ Then go find a good person … or whatever ”
윤예지
“ Fair enough ”
“ Now then, we’ll begin the meeting regarding Yuseong Group Hotel “
“ First, as for the construction schedule “ ••••
박성호
“ … ”
What did I say yesterday..?
I just called Ms. Chae-eun over and blurted out a confession
I was going to confess slowly, but that didn’t go as planned
Chae-eun must have been really surprised.. whatever, the meeting comes first now
“ President ”
박성호
“ Oh, go ahead ”
“ This is the blueprint right now—what do you think? ”
박성호
“ Hmm .. It looks okay, but since a hotel has so many people coming and going ”
박성호
“ I think it’d be better to add more floors or more rooms “
“ Yes, understood, let’s tighten security a little here “
박성호
“ …,, ”
When I saw Ms. Chae-eun’s face today, I didn’t know what to say
I almost brought up yesterday’s confession, but then I stopped—should I have said it?
No, Chae-eun probably needs time too, so let’s not bring it up unnecessarily
I thought that, so I didn’t say anything .. but I don’t know, this is hard
“ All right, we’ll wrap up today’s meeting here and continue tomorrow ”
“ Good work “
박성호
“ .. You worked hard ,, ”
박성호
“ … Phew ”
박성호
“ This secretary.. ”
“ Yes, President ”
박성호
“ What time is tomorrow’s meeting again? “
“ Tomorrow, it’s at Royal Restaurant by 1 o’clock ”
“ My estimate is that it’ll end around 3:40 to 3:50, but I’m not sure yet “
박성호
“ Got it “
I wonder if I should ask Chae-eun to have dinner tomorrow?
Would that be too much..? Maybe I should ask..
박성호
“ Secretary _ do you know the number for that cafe we went to earlier? “
“ Yes, I do ,, but what for…? ”
박성호
“ I was thinking of asking Chae-eun if she’d like to have dinner if she has time “
정채은
“ The table’s a mess.. ”
윤예지
“ Yeah.. there’s a ton of tissue and bread crumbs “
“ It’s a total disaster ,, let’s clean up and go to the cafeteria to eat ”
정채은
“ Yes, okay, manager ”
정채은
“ Oh, manager ”
“ Hmm? ”
정채은
“ Are you taking the bus home today? “
“ Well.. I’m thinking of taking the subway ”
정채은
“ I’m taking a taxi today “
윤예지
“ ? You always take the bus “
정채은
“ That’s true, but the bus I take isn’t running today because of the marathon ”
윤예지
“ Oh.. then a taxi would be more convenient ”
“ What about the subway? ”
정채은
“ If I take the subway.. it’ll take 2 hours.. I have to transfer 3 times ”
“ Then a taxi really is faster ”
정채은
“ Yes, a taxi takes 40 minutes, so it’s fine ”
“ Ah, but I’ve been noticing this for a while ”
정채은
“ ? “
“ That president from Yuseong Group seems like he comes to see Chae-eun, doesn’t he? “
정채은
“ What?! ”
“ I guess he likes talking to Chae-eun “
윤예지
“ Wow, so I’m not the only one who thought that—yeah, I think so too ”
정채은
“ Hmm…? ”
윤예지
“ He always comes smiling whenever he sees you ”
정채은
“ Ah… no way, he’s probably just smiling because he’s in a good mood .. ”
윤예지
“ What if it’s because he likes you? “
정채은
“ ?? ”
“ That could be possible too ”
정채은
‘ Really….?? ‘
윤예지
“ Honestly, what do you think of him? “
정채은
“ Um… just as a regular customer at our cafe..? “
윤예지
“ Oh no.. what are we going to do with Jung Chae-eun, who has no dating experience.. ”
정채은
“ ??.. ”
윤예지
“ I think he’s interested in you—just my personal opinion ”
정채은
“ Ah, no way.. ”
rrr
정채은
“ Who is it ? I’ll get it “
“ Yeah, thanks ”
정채은
“ Yes, this is Dive Cafe ”
박성호
“ Chae-eun .. “
정채은
“ Ah, Mr. Seong-ho ”
박성호
“ Sorry to bother you while you’re working, I called because I have something to say ”
정채은
“ It’s okay, what is it? ”
박성호
“ Can you have lunch with me tomorrow? “
정채은
“ Yes, I can _ where should we eat? “
박성호
“ Hmm .. I know a place that makes good udon, let’s eat there ”
정채은
“ Okay, what time should we meet tomorrow? “
박성호
“ What time do you get off work, Chae-eun? ”
정채은
“ I’m on the morning shift, so I get off at 1 o’clock ”
박성호
“ I get off at 4, so let’s meet in front of Carrot Station at 6 “
정채은
“ Okay ,, heh ”
