6. Unexpected Morning
What broke the calm air of the morning, which was gradually becoming warm, was Seyeon's scream-like cry as she held a coffee cup.
정세연
“Eww!!! I have to go to work—it’s 8 o’clock!!!”
The clock clearly said 8:00 AM.
She jumped up from her seat and ran into the room without even putting down her coffee.
Myeongho watched the scene quietly, then let out a small laugh as if he found it absurd.
디에잇(명호)
“…I’m really going crazy.”
After a while.
Seyeon reappeared in the living room wearing a neat suit shirt and slacks, her hair roughly tied up.
He was hurriedly putting on his shoes, clutching his laptop bag in one hand and his phone with the other.

“Are you an office worker?”
Myungho asked quietly.
정세연
“Huh?! Oh, yes…!”
Seyeon nodded, taking a deep breath.
디에잇(명호)
“Is it… too late now?”
정세연
“Uh… Not yet! It’s not too late… I think I’ll have to run to catch the subway. I’ll go, hmph…!”
She was about to put on her shoes and run to the front door—
Myungho picked up his sunglasses and stood at the table. Then, he spoke quietly.
디에잇(명호)
“I’ll take you there.”
At those words, Seyun stopped dead in her tracks in front of the entrance. She slowly turned her head, still holding her bag in her hand.
The eyes looking at Myeongho were wide.
정세연
"yes...?"
A voice filled with a mixture of surprise and bewilderment. Myungho pushed his sunglasses up onto his forehead and smiled briefly.
디에잇(명호)
"There's no need to waste time running all the way to the subway. I was just about to leave."
His speech was still bland, and his eyes were indifferent.
But there was clear consideration in his words.
디에잇(명호)
“I’ll take you. I won’t be late.”
Seyun looked at him silently, then held the strap of her bag tightly and nodded quietly.
정세연
“…Well… I know it’s a nuisance, but… thank you…”
Instead of answering, Myeongho nodded briefly and opened the front door first.
Following his footsteps, Seyeon quickly put on her shoes and followed him.
Inside the elevator. The two stood side by side.
Their reflections in the elevator mirror.
Seyeon in a suit and Myeongho in light clothing.
Two very different people stood side by side. Seyeon glanced at Myeongho's profile in the mirror and muttered to herself.
정세연
‘Oh my… why are you so handsome… you must be a model… really… amazing..’
At that moment—Myungho’s gaze met Seyeon’s gaze through the mirror.
Seyeon, startled, quickly turned her head. Looking at her, Myeongho smiled faintly.
디에잇(명호)
"...The suit suits you well."
Short and sweet words.
But that one word was enough to make the air in the elevator a little warmer.
