When night falls

It started with a wallet

11:48 PM

홍지유

Oh... I should have said let's meet somewhere else instead of in front of the company... My legs hurt.

홍지유 image

홍지유

By the way, where are you? You said you were here first (looked around)

최승철 image

최승철

(Tapping Jiyu's shoulder) Uh...is that your wallet...?

홍지유 image

홍지유

Oh, oh yes yes wallet

When I tapped him on the back, he turned around in surprise, listened to what the guy said, and searched through my bag.

홍지유 image

홍지유

Here's your wallet.

최승철 image

최승철

Oh yes yes thank you

홍지유 image

홍지유

But have we seen each other somewhere? We look familiar...

최승철 image

최승철

Uh..yeah?

He must have thought he knew who he was, the representative. I'm starting to wonder if he's joking with me. But what can I do? Where have I seen him before? All I can think is,

홍지유 image

홍지유

Oh, do you work here by any chance? Are you on a different team than me?

최승철 image

최승철

..?yes yes..

He must have been so flustered that he blurted out "yes" without even realizing it. And then he'd think, "So what? I work here, and I'm the CEO, but I'm on a different team."

홍지유

Nice to meet you. I'm Hong Ji-yu. My name is Hong Ji-yu. Let's have dinner together sometime! I'll buy it.

최승철 image

최승철

Haha... This is Choi Seung-cheol. I'm grateful.

12:16 AM

홍지유 image

홍지유

Yes, yes, oh, it's late. Are you walking? Should I call a taxi for you? It's dangerous.

최승철 image

최승철

Huh? Oh, it's okay. Jiyu-ssi seems to be walking around. But shouldn't I be the one worrying?

홍지유 image

홍지유

Well, I can walk around...

최승철 image

최승철

I don't have a car, so I can't give you a ride. I'll call a taxi or have someone drop you off.

홍지유 image

홍지유

Oh, you can just go...

최승철 image

최승철

No. You can only choose between the two I mentioned.

홍지유 image

홍지유

Sigh... I don't mind taking a taxi, just give me a ride.

최승철 image

최승철

Yes, yes, where do you live?

홍지유 image

홍지유

It's Dia Apartment.

최승철 image

최승철

My house is two blocks away. It's a bit far. It's also really far from work. How do you walk there every day?

홍지유 image

홍지유

Just... I just wake up early and walk briskly. Two neighborhoods...??? Isn't it a bit far? Just take a taxi when you go. I'll call you a taxi.

최승철 image

최승철

Yeah yeah~ But even though I look like this, I'm still really strong. What if something happens? Can't you see that my arms are thick?

홍지유 image

홍지유

Anyway, just ride it. I'll ask you tomorrow when I see you. Did you ride it or not?

최승철 image

최승철

Are you that worried? If anyone saw me, they'd think I liked you. Don't worry, I'll take a taxi.

홍지유 image

홍지유

What are you talking about~ I'm just a person who worries a lot~

홍지유 image

홍지유

I'm almost there, so I'll go by myself. I called a taxi, so take it when it comes.

최승철 image

최승철

Yes, thank you. Be careful on your way in.

홍지유 image

홍지유

That's right, I'm 26. Let's talk later. Don't be so awkward and use formal language outside of work.

최승철 image

최승철

Okay, let's go in quickly.

최승철 image

최승철

Let's just talk... 26 is still a bit much

최승철 image

최승철

He's a funny guy

Jiyu didn't even know he was the representative, which must have been quite a blow to his pride, but on the other hand, it must have been fun. Besides those three people at home, no one was always comfortable telling her she was the representative, and no one she could comfortably talk to.

Thank you to Choi Seung-cheol Baragi, Seung-kwan Baragi, and Sepseob for leaving comments on the previous episode! The next episode of my previous work, "The Seat Next to Me," will be up soon, so please wait~! Thank you to everyone who watched, and I'll work hard. Hehe..
