Rose of Sharon in Time (free serial)

01: 32-year-old office worker Baek Il-hong

Knock knock- (keyboard typing sound)

As usual, the only sound that resonates in the company is the sound of typing on the keyboard.

And I am 32 years old this year

I've been a salaried worker for 10 years now.

필요한역할

Mr. Ilhong, I'm leaving work first~

백일홍

Yes! See you tomorrow, Manager Kim.

필요한역할

When are you planning to get off work, Mr. Ilhong?

백일홍

I couldn't finish all the paperwork today, so I think I'll have to work overtime.

필요한역할

Yeah, work hard and fighting haha

백일홍

(smiles faintly)

Like that for an hour

2 hours... 3 hours... 4 hours passed

It was already night outside, swallowed by darkness.

And I was the only one left in the company

백일홍

Ugh... It's dark and I'm a little creepy being alone in such a big space.

Jeobuk-

Thud thud-

백일홍

What...what is it...

Didn't that just sound like footsteps? Why are they getting closer?

Thud thud thud thud-

백일홍

(eyes narrowed)

팀장

Mr. Ilhong?

백일홍

Aaaah ...

팀장

It's me! Calm down.

백일홍

Haa..you're the team leader

백일홍

Sorry for yelling..

팀장

No, but more than that

팀장

What are you doing up this late at night?

백일홍

I couldn't finish the paperwork...

Tiring- (text sound)

백일홍

Oh, sorry! I'll check my text for a moment.

팀장

소개팅남

💬 Mr. Ilhong! Let's meet at the restaurant in front of the intersection at 10 PM tonight, right? I'm looking forward to our first meeting, hehe.

백일홍

Huh! (That's right, I forgot..)

백일홍

It's 9 o'clock now...

백일홍

💬Yes, see you then~ㅎㅎ

백일홍

(I guess I can get off work by 10 o'clock..)

팀장

Ilhong is working hard on this project. I'm about to leave work now.

백일홍

Ah, yes, yes, you go in first!

(50 minutes later)

백일홍

Hmm... (looking at the monitor and frowning)

Tick- (keyboard click sound)

백일홍

Woof woof!!! The end!!

백일홍

What time is it now?

백일홍

It's already 9:50?!!!

백일홍

The restaurant is close to my company, so I don't think I'll be late if I run there.

백일홍

Oh my, this is our first meeting...! ㅠㅠ

백일홍

If you run, your appearance will be no jokeㅜㅜ

ㆍㆍㆍ

백일홍

Huh..huh..

Squeak- (sound of a chair being pulled out)

백일홍

Tteolseok- (sits on a chair)

백일홍

소개팅남

Are you Mr. Ilhong?

백일홍

Oh yes.. just a moment.. gasp.. gasp.. Su, catch your breath..

소개팅남

Yes, that's right

백일홍

Okay

백일홍

Sorry I'm a little late.

소개팅남

No, thank you for coming!

소개팅남

Mr. Ilhong, what is your last name?

소개팅남

Baek? If it's zinnia...is that the name of the flower?

백일홍

Yes, it's a zinnia.

백일홍

It's a name derived from the flower zinnia.

소개팅남

The name is pretty haha

소개팅남

By any chance, Mr. Ilhong, did you come out of Hanul High School?

백일홍

!

백일홍

N, yes..? (embarrassed)

소개팅남

Did you come out of Hanulgo?

백일홍

Oh, no..?

소개팅남

That's right~

소개팅남

Actually, my friend is from Hanul High School, and he saw Ilhong's picture and said he was his classmate, so I believed that and came out on a blind date today.

소개팅남

But since my friend knows her, I think I can trust her a bit.

소개팅남

Mr. Ilhong? Mr. Ilhong!

백일홍

I'm sorry, but I'll get up first.

Knock knock knock- (sound of running)

I never wanted to get caught

My third year of high school

You gave me indelible scars and memories

During the third year of high school, when there is an exam that can be said to be the most important exam in life,

It gave me many illnesses and made me receive psychiatric treatment.

That bastard who ruined my grades and college entrance exam and made me live like this as a salaried worker for 10 years

That bastard who always makes me feel embarrassed when we go to class reunions

Because of that kid, I look like a loser and a loser in the eyes of my classmates.

It's all your fault, you son of a bitch!!

백일홍

Huh...sob...sob...sob

Tiring- (text sound)

💬Information on the 5th Hanul High School 17th Class Alumni Reunion Meeting, I just sent a text saying that everyone except for the zinnias will be coming. If the zinnias see this text, please text me whether they will come or not. By the way, the kids all said they will come.

백일홍

I don't want to go..

But if I don't go, they'll notice me again...

백일홍

Swish swish- (wiping away tears)

ㆍㆍㆍ

Noisy noisy-

필요한역할

Hey!! The zinnia is coming

필요한역할

Seriously lol

백일홍

…hi

필요한역할

Come on, sit down haha ​​everyone's been waiting for you

백일홍

why?

필요한역할

Why~ We're all doing business, but you're the only one who earns a salary here, haha

필요한역할

Eat lots of delicious food and go~ You don't have to pay, we'll make n-bread togetherㅎㅎ

백일홍

Uh..? It's a bit much for me to be the only one to guide you..

필요한역할

Oh, that's okay~ Soonyoung will be watching from heaven and hate you for paying because you don't have any money~ㅠㅠ

필요한역할

Kwon Soon-young, he took such good care of you, right? Do you remember?

백일홍

…

필요한역할

Honestly, I feel a bit awkward bringing up something that happened 13 years ago.

필요한역할

What, that's what a class reunion is for? Haha

필요한역할

Honestly, Sunyoung was sincere to you, but you coldly dumped her.

필요한역할

That day, the day our school caught fire

필요한역할

You could have come out with Kwon Soon-young if you were with her

필요한역할

You left him behind and came out alone, right?

필요한역할

Kwon Soon-young only loved you, but you killed her.

Bang (sound of hitting desk)

백일홍

Don't talk nonsense from a third-party perspective without knowing anything.

Knock knock knock- (going outside)

필요한역할

Tsk tsk, that's why the kids hate her~ It's just that Kwon Soon-young is pitiful

ㆍㆍㆍ

백일홍

My life has been ruined to the point where it could have been...

백일홍

I just want to throw it away

My life can't be recycled even if I throw it away.

Probably not even recycling

If only I could go back in time

It could change my life right now.

This crappy life started when I was 19...
