It was like spring

It was like spring ep.1

Ah, the phrase "living in this life" seems like it was made up for me.

Today, as always, I go to work at J Company and face the toughest challenges.

Miss, please do this again.

Today again, I threw away the documents without any hesitation.

김여주

all right

Lee Jeong-don: Of course I expected it

I pick up the papers again and go to my seat.

The room furthest from the window, with no sunlight, and a uniquely gloomy atmosphere.

This is my place

Sister Yeoju, you must be having a hard time, right?

Why is Manager Im Na-yeon acting like that again today?

임나연

What did you say, Kim Ye-rim?

김예림

Haha..no

He tells me to cheer up with his mouth shape so that only I can see it.

Since I joined this company, I've been the most comfortable person around.

Kim Ye-rim, the youngest in this department, has been following me around since she first saw me, calling me "unnie."

I guess it's because he's the youngest, but he seems to have a lively personality.

Hmm... I guess everyone's leaving now?

김예림

임나연

yes-

I wanted to come home and go straight to bed, but today, for some reason, I felt like drinking.

Perhaps because I'd been sitting in one spot all day organizing documents, I dragged my tired body to the convenience store near my house.

Could you show me your ID?

Ah- I have to take the ID test after eating 26... I guess it's good because it makes me look younger..

But it's still kind of annoying

김여주

Oh, just a moment...

김여주

Ah, here it is!

편의점알바생

Yes, goodbye!

김여주

yes-

I showed my ID, bought some beer, and headed home.

I was walking home, shaking the black bag of beer in a good mood for some reason.

The beers in the bags clinked against each other, making a pleasant sound.

It was still a bright early evening, but the chilly weather made me feel good.

김여주

Hmm...this is kind of good...

김여주

Let's go home quickly and have a drink.

It was around the time I got near my house.

A man who looked to be in his early twenties walked towards me.

In that moment, tens of thousands of thoughts passed through my mind.

Is it a multi-level marketing scheme?

'Namchibeom?'

'Is he just a fucking idiot?'

He was looking at the man with a strange expression on his face.

The man slowly walked towards me

One step

Two footprints

I walked here

And finally the man stood before me.

I didn't notice it from afar, but up close, it looked about ten centimeters taller than I was.

And something sweet, like the scent of peaches, wafted in the air.

After some awkward silence, I spoke first.

김여주

Hey... do you know me?

Then, as soon as I finished speaking, the words came back

"Let's go together"
