I opened my eyes clutching my throbbing head, and before I knew it, it was morning.

After drinking a cocktail yesterday, I completely blacked out and don't know what happened, but fortunately, when I opened my eyes, I was in my small studio apartment.

And when I checked my phone, what caught my eye was a considerable amount of accumulated messages and missed call records.


06:05 AM

์ ์
๐จ When is it time to go to work today?


06:23 PM

์ ์
You said you worked overtime yesterday, right? You must be tired.


07:00 AM

์ ์
๐จ It's time to get up. It's 7 o'clock.


07:39 AM

์ ์
๐จ Yoon Yeo-ju, you're crazy, aren't you? You haven't woken up yet?


07:45 AM

์ ์
๐จ Crazy Yoon Yeo-ju, wake up!


After checking all the messages, I answered the annoying phone that had been ringing for a while, and heard Jeon Woong's angry voice on the other end.


์ ์
๐ You're crazy, aren't you?!


์ ์
๐ What time is it and you're still sleeping!!


์ ์
๐ I'm on my way in the car right now, so hurry up and get ready to come out.


์ ์
๐ What are you trying to do with the title of Team Leader?


I cut him off, expressing that I didn't want to hear his nagging anymore.


์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
Never mind... buy some hangover remedies on your way back...


์ ์
๐ The person who told me to stop drinking so much yesterday...ugh...


์ ์
๐ He says he drank for a change when he can't even handle alcohol.


์ ์
๐ Anyway, hurry up and get ready and come down! Because of you, I'm in this mess too...

I hung up first after hearing the last words. I had planned to take a day off as soon as I woke up and checked the time, thinking that I absolutely couldn't make it today, but,

Because of Jeon Woong, I couldn't even attempt it, so I reluctantly get ready to go out.





์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
Ah... I feel like I can finally breathe.


์ ์
What on earth got you into drinking?


์ ์
How many bottles did you drink?


์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
Not a few bottles, but cocktails


์ ์
...


์ ์
...?


์ ์
cocktail???


์ ์
Is the hangover from that really that bad?


์ ์
I knew you couldn't drink, but you're seriously bad at it.


์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
a little


์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
Let's be quiet, it's too noisy.

He is usually so reserved that he only uses "Yes," "Sure," and "It's fine," but I don't know why he is so noisy today.



์ ์
I went all the way to pick you up...


์ ์
(Muttering)


์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
Why are you acting so unlike yourself? You've become so talkative.


์ ์
I don't know, is it any of your business?


์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
Yeah, my little egg-sea bastard, you chatter so much it gives me a headache.


์ ์
Okay then, I'll shut up and go.





Somehow, I arrived at the office safely on time, and now I am in the middle of the meeting that was postponed yesterday.

I had difficulty conveying the meeting content well due to a hangover.

However, since it was a project that had been prepared for a long time, I proceeded with the meeting by somehow snapping everyone back to reality.


์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
Proceeding in this way...



The meeting was proceeding more smoothly than expected when my phone went off with a buzzing alarm.


์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
so...

jing -



์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
ah,

A call from an unknown number.

I felt aggrieved that the phone had to ring at this very moment to ruin my meeting. Why now of all times?



After safely finishing the meeting, I was organizing the remaining materials in the conference room.

Just then, a call came in again from a number similar to the one from earlier.

I pressed the call button, wondering who on earth kept calling my number.

Then, a somewhat familiar voice came through the receiver.


ํ์ํ ์ญ
๐ Um...is this your phone, Yoon Yeo-ju?


If my memory serves me correctly,

This voice is definitely the voice of the cocktail bar owner.

I wonder what he called me for?


Did I just run away without paying?


Or did they call to demand compensation because they drank all the alcohol in the bar?


Just as all sorts of thoughts were running through my head, Jeon Woong picked up the receiverโI don't know when he arrivedโand spoke.




์ ์
Ah, yes, this is Ms. Yoon Yeo-ju's phone. What's up?



์ ์
She's just a coworker, but Yeoju is a bit busy.



์ ์
Then I will do so.



์ ์
I'll see you at 7.



์ ์
Neep


Jeon Woong was the type to answer as he pleased and hang up the phone repeatedly.

Then, glaring at me, he tells me the contents of the call.


์ ์
You... left your wallet there.


์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
Ah, no wonder... I was about to leave the house and my wallet was missing.


์ ์
Ugh... seriously, what kind of kid are you...


์ ์
I told them I'd be there around 7 after work, so take my car.


์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
Sob sob, thank you


์ ์
Clumsy.


์ค์ฌ์ฃผ
You're going to die


์ ์
^^




I was seriously flustered. I'm writing this at 1:25 AM on June 18th.

I was writing it when I thought I needed to change the settings for a moment, so I should have edited Episode 3 and uploaded it as "Visible Only Me."

Because I accidentally uploaded it as public... I panicked and ended up publishing Chapter 4 as "Private" even though I hadn't finished writing it...

So I filled up quite a bit of the content haha.

Bye for now
