The next afternoon
Jihyun, who had a lot on her plate because the project schedule had run longer than expected
That afternoon, only Jihyun and Dongmin were working late
Everyone else had already left the office, but the two of them stayed behind for the project
윤지현
“ ... Phew ,, it got way longer than expected ”
It’s already past 7?
Wow … time’s going by so fast
But since the project is tomorrow morning, there’s no time to prepare except today
한동민
“ Director , are you still working ? ”
윤지현
“ … Ah , I just have a lot to do, and the project is tomorrow morning ”
한동민
“ Ah … ”
윤지현
“ I just need to finish this ”
한동민
“ That line .. I know you’ve been saying that since 4 o’clock ? ”
윤지현
“ You haven’t left work either, Team Leader Han ”
한동민
“ Well, I’m not staying just to wait for Director Yoon ”
윤지현
“ … ” (( flinches
윤지현
“ Why are you waiting ? ”
한동민
“ Because I want to go together ”
윤지현
“ I can go by myself ”
한동민
“ I know, but I want to go together ”
윤지현
“ Really.. ㅎ You’re exhausting me “
한동민
“ I’m sorry ”
윤지현
“ Doesn’t seem like you’re sorry, though ㅎ ”
Jihyun ended up snickering
Seeing that smile, Dongmin froze
한동민
“ You’re pretty ,, still “
윤지현
“ ? Pretty how ? ”
한동민
“ Your smiling face “
윤지현
“ Team Leader Han ”
한동민
“ Yes ,, ”
윤지현
“ Seriously…,, ㅎ ”
윤지현
“ Why are you doing this to me ? ”
한동민
“ Because I like you ”
Seeing Dongmin say it so seriously, she realized he wasn’t joking
But she didn’t know how to answer
한동민
“ It’s already midnight ”
윤지현
“ It is ,, time really does fly ”
The office was quiet, with no one else there but the two of them
Everyone had gone home, so it was quiet and still
한동민
“ Jihyun…,, ”
윤지현
“ ……..? ”
한동민
“ Back then, I didn’t know Director Yoon liked me that much ”
윤지현
“ …… ”
한동민
“ I regret not realizing those feelings sooner ”
윤지현
“ What’s the point of realizing that now ”
한동민
“ So I’m going to tell you now ”
윤지현
“ Tell me what ? ”
한동민
“ That I like you ”
Jihyun’s face turned slightly red
한동민
“ Can I tell you every day ? ”
윤지현
“ … No “
한동민
“ Then once a week ”
윤지현
“ No ”
한동민
“ I’ll keep doing it until you give up “
윤지현
“ Do whatever you want, Team Leader Han ”
한동민
“ Really ? Then I will ”
윤지현
“ But why wait for me and then leave with me ? ”
한동민
“ I told you, I want to go together ”
Jihyun was checking the elevator floor number
Dongmin watched her like that
한동민
“ Director Yoon ”
윤지현
“ Yes ? ”
한동민
“ You’re not running away anymore ”
윤지현
“ ? What am I running away from ? ”
한동민
“ Every time I got close, you’d take a step back ”
한동민
“ Even today at noon, you did the same ”
Jihyun had nothing to say
The elevator arrived at the first floor
When the doors opened, Jihyun walked out first
Dongmin followed right behind her
윤지현
“ It’s raining ? ”
한동민
“ Seems like it. The weather was nice during the day ”
윤지현
“ Did you bring your car ? ”
한동민
“ Why? Were you hoping I’d drive you home ? ”
윤지현
“ What.. ㅎ “
한동민
“ I’m kidding. For now, let’s walk with an umbrella ”
한동민
“ Director Yoon ”
윤지현
“ ? ”
한동민
“ Aren’t you cold ? I think your pants are thin ”
윤지현
“ I’m fine. They’re good pants for this kind of weather ”
한동민
“ Ah … ” (( nods
윤지현
“ But…. is this also you driving me home ? “
한동민
“ Why ? ”
윤지현
“ Your house and mine are in different directions, but you’re walking with me ”
한동민
“ I told you ,, I want to go together “
윤지현
“ I know that … I just wondered if you were walking with me in this rain ”
한동민
“ Director Yoon, you’re a woman, and there are a lot of weird guys who target women on rainy days ”
윤지현
“ Pff .. ㅎ ”
한동민
“ …! // ”
윤지현
“ Team Leader Han … if this were before, you wouldn’t have cared even if I just went home alone ”
윤지현
“ But now you’re looking after me ? ”
한동민
“ You’re the woman I like, so I should do better..,, ”
Dongmin remembered
The small umbrella Jihyun had given him back when he was a student teacher
And that it had been the only umbrella Jihyun brought
윤지현
“ Well… not bad ”
한동민
“ So now you won’t avoid me ? ”
윤지현
“ Well… a little ”
한동민
“ Nice ”
윤지현
“ …,, ㅎ ”
한동민
“ They say it’s going to rain tomorrow evening too ”
윤지현
“ Ah… really ? I should bring an umbrella “
한동민
“ Want me to take you home? “
윤지현
“ No.. I’m going to take the bus tomorrow ”
한동민
“ ? You’re walking today ? ”
윤지현
“ If I see a stop nearby, I’ll take one ”
한동민
“ Director Yoon ”
윤지현
“ ? ”
한동민
“ You look really tired ”
윤지현
“ I am a little ,, it’s because of the project ”
한동민
“ If it’s too hard, don’t push yourself ”
윤지현
“ Team Leader, are you worrying about me right now ? ”
한동민
“ Yes. I’m worried because you’re the woman I like ”
윤지현
“ … Yes ,, thank you ”
한동민
“ Ah, did you used to leave cookies on my desk in the teachers’ office ? ”
윤지현
“ .. You remember that too ”
한동민
“ They were good ”
윤지현
“ I see…,, that’s a relief ”
윤지현
“ I’ll take the bus from here ”
한동민
“ Do you know when it comes ? “
윤지현
“ It says it’ll be here in 5 minutes ”
한동민
“ (( nods ”
윤지현
“ Team Leader Han, you can go now ”
한동민
“ I’ll stay with you ”
윤지현
“ ? Why ? ”
한동민
“ Because it could be dangerous if Jihyun’s alone ”
윤지현
“ … Do whatever you want ”
한동민
“ Director Yoon, when do you have time sometime ? “
윤지현
“ Why ? ”
한동민
“ Have dinner with me “
윤지현
“ You mean just the two of us…? ”
한동민
“ Yes, that’s right ”
윤지현
“ Hmm…,, I’ll think about it ”
한동민
“ (( smiles ”
윤지현
“ The bus is coming soon, so you can go now ”
한동민
“ Be careful going home, and see you tomorrow ”
윤지현
“ … Yes ㅎ ”
