human allergy
EP.38#It's my fault.


My allergies cleared up faster than I expected. Everything's fine, just like before, but the changed stares from people around me are uncomfortable.

Especially during meeting times.


황은비
Oh, I'll summarize it here and report to you.


황은비
I have a way of organizing things that I always do...

회사원
Ah - you want to see the boss's face, right?

회사원
I understand. It's natural for lovers to want to see each other.


황은비
.....

I pressed my lips together tightly. It was a deliberate gesture, but others seemed more aware of our relationship than we were.

I'm particularly the target of jealousy from the female employees. What should I do about this exhausting situation? I'm terrified that the vice president or chairman might hear about it.

회사원
It's such a waste, boss.


김설현
Ha... so annoying,


김설현
Why are you two dating? Jimin oppa doesn't even think about coming over...

회사원
How can I fall for a woman like that?

A fox peeking out to wag its tail. Next to it was a secretary glaring at the female employees as if she was going to kill them.


정예린
Please don't bring up personal matters. It's uncomfortable to hear. I can tell you right away what you're talking about, sir.

회사원
....... sorry

Secretary, fighting! My only friend, truly arrogant, cold, and scary. That's probably my advantage.

The chaotic atmosphere of the meeting made me frown. I decided it was best to call it a day, and started organizing the documents little by little.


황은비
Shall we end the meeting here?

과장
Don't do that.


황은비
Thank you for your hard work. Oh, Seolhyun. Please destroy all the meeting documents.


김설현
Haa - yes

I was a little taken aback by the half-hearted, casual reply. I left my papers at my desk and headed to the bathroom.

B2
Oh my, boss, I was just looking to get out.

Y3
I said I didn't like it, so I just took the money and beat him up.

Y3
I guess I'll just work and do some pickling-

B2
Did you see the post-it note on the seat? Haha.

Y3
Is there anyone who hasn't written it down? lol.


황은비
....

B2
I'm going to wipe away all the coffee stains...

B2
....

I'm so sorry for interfering in your gossip. Do I deserve to die? Feel free to wag your tail as much as you want. I didn't tell you not to.


황은비
Post-it notes. Coffee. Spill everything and write it down. Feel free to flirt.


황은비
When did I ever tell you not to do that?

I smiled, said a quick goodbye, and left the bathroom. It was scary. It was scary. I wondered if dating was something that warranted such criticism.

There was no way to quell the rumors that had spread throughout the company. It was so embarrassing. It was so embarrassing to see what those women were doing.


황은비
He's a company employee, after all.

I sighed and waited for lunch time, which would be a bit late.


박지민
Sir,


황은비
yes?..


박지민
I'm saying this because I can't touch it as I please... the desk...


황은비
Oh, sorry. I'll clean it up right away.

I reached out in a panic, seeing a desk covered in Post-it notes and red paint that was so hideous that it was hard to look at.

As I was about to pick up the post-it note, he grabbed my wrist and spoke to me in a low voice.


박지민
Who did this?

I'm angry. He seemed really angry, even speaking informally to me. I should have stopped him quickly.


황은비
I'm fine, I'll just clean it up.


박지민
Why should you clean up what others have done?

Looking back, it all makes sense. I felt wronged, but it was okay. It's something everyone will give up on soon.


황은비
..... It's my fault. I'll just do it, Jimin. I'm okay.


황은비
Please let this go..

Thankfully, thanks to the clothes, I avoided allergies. It didn't hurt, but I felt frustrated and looked at the wrist I was holding.


박지민
Can I tell the boss?


황은비
Oh..no,


박지민
Then answer me, who did this?
