#02 / Our Heart-Pounding Office Romance

After so much time passed • • •

Finally, the sweet lunch hour for office workers arrived. Yeoju was waiting for Taehyun, her feet thumping with excitement.

황은비

Hey, Yoon Yeo-ju, what are you going to do for lunch?

윤여주

Me? Of course Taehyun oppa... huh

황은비

Ugh... I don't know who you are, so speak carefully.

윤여주

N..yes..!

윤여주

But who do you eat with?

황은비

Me? I have a close friend in the department next door.

윤여주

Oh? Who is it?

황은비

The guy in the department next door? Choi Yeonjun~

윤여주

Aha~ Okay! Have a nice trip!

황은비

Have a sweet time with you too~

윤여주

... Hehehe yes!

After Eunbi left first, Yeoju carefully checked Taehyun's seat and realized that he was not there. So she quickly sent Taehyun a text message.

윤여주

💬 Where are you~

강태현

💬 I went to see the chairman for a moment because I had something to report to him.

윤여주

💬 Let's eat quickly...

강태현

💬 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I'll be there soon, where are the other members?

윤여주

💬 Everyone went to lunch and now I'm alone...?

강태현

💬 The little one is alone, I'll be there soon

윤여주

💬 I'm not a kid... I get it!

As soon as the KakaoTalk conversation ended, the door opened and the female lead greeted Taehyun with a bright smile.

윤여주

Our manager, Kang Tae-hyun!

강태현

Yoon Yeo-ju, why don't you keep calling me oppa?

강태현

He's very little and mischievous.

윤여주

Oh really... I need to go eat quickly...

강태현

Haha ...

Yeoju and Taehyun arrived at a restaurant slightly away from the company, and ordered a simple meal of kimbap and cheese tteokbokki.

윤여주

No, seriously, office romances are so hard at work... Can't we just be honest?

강태현

Not yet, wouldn't it be a mess if everyone knew now?

윤여주

Why is there such a fuss?

강태현

Um... how many months have we been seeing each other?

윤여주

Yes, right...?

강태현

But the people at work don't know that we're dating, but if we reveal it on the spot, there's someone who'll definitely ask if we're dating at work...

윤여주

But just reveal it... Ugh!

강태현

Our little one, let's eat quickly.

윤여주

...Oops! Got it!

강태현

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Yoon Yeo-ju is cute

After eating such a hearty lunch, Taehyun and Yeoju went in separately, afraid that the company people would see them.

Yeo-ju, who returned to the office, immediately sat down and collapsed on her desk. Eun-bi was next to her and Tae-hyun was behind her, watching her carefully.

The members were watching the situation closely and muttering to themselves whether the female lead was going to get scolded by the manager. Then, the female lead felt something strange and cautiously got up.

강태현

Do you often get anorexia?

윤여주

... sorry

황은비

Oh my... Seriously, our Yoon Yeo-ju, just sleep, what should I do...

윤여주

... Hwang Eun-bi is really right

강태현

Assistant Manager Yoon Yeo-ju? Get to work now. I might have you work overtime today.

윤여주

... I hate working overtime, boss ㅠㅠㅠ

황은비

Yoon Yeo-ju, work overtime~!

윤여주

...Wooii you are really right!!!

Taehyun, who had already returned to his seat, finally said something more when he saw Yeoju.

강태현

Let's say Assistant Manager Yoon Yeo-ju is working overtime today.

윤여주

Manager? No, wait a minute. Why me...

황은비

Yoon Yeo-ju, thank you for your hard work at overtime~

Yeo-ju glares at Eun-bi once, then sits down at her desk again, muttering to herself.

윤여주

"Kang Tae-hyun, whether you're my brother or not, I'm going to hit you one day..."
