Episode 17
Saying goodbye to the manager, time to leave work
김대리
Shall we go?
나여주
Okay, I'll just finish organizing this, and would you mind going down to the lobby first?
김대리
Okay then, I'll go ahead with Assistant Manager Park.
After finishing work, I send a KakaoTalk message to Daehwi.
나여주
Are you finished with work?
이대휘
Yeah, I've been waiting.
나여주
ㅡUng, I'll go to the 14th floor.
The female protagonist who took the elevator and pressed the 14th floor
When the door opened, Daehwi was standing there, and he let out a sigh of relief as he realized Yeoju was the only one in the elevator.
나여주
Are you nervous?
이대휘
Phew... Seriously, why am I so nervous?
The female lead hugs Daehwi, lifts her head to look at him, and smiles.
나여주
They are really fun people, so you don't have to worry.
Daehwi gives me a quick peck on the lips at my words.
이대휘
That gives me strength... haha
Daehwi and Yeoju come down to the lobby arm in arm.
박대리
Haha, Assistant Manager Na, you're finally here? Hello.
Daehwi shaking hands with Park Daerim, who is smiling and extending his hand to greet him.
이대휘
Nice to meet you. My name is Lee Dae-hwi.
Assistant Manager Kim stands beside me, bowing his head in greeting.
김대리
Ahaha, hello~
이대휘
Yes, hello~
나여주
Assistant Manager Kim and Assistant Manager Park, haha ..
After an awkward, belated introduction, we head to the bar we reserved.
We all share snacks and drinks while telling stories.
박대리
Oh, I'm glad we work for the same company. We have a lot in common.
나여주
Haha, what do you mean by that?
박대리
Just look, it's me and Daehwi, right?
김대리
So, where exactly is the commonality?
박대리
Handsome?
이대휘
Haha, you are more handsome than me.
Assistant Manager Park, clapping and laughing, speaks excitedly.
박대리
Wow, Assistant Manager Na, you really have good taste. I'm so glad I met you, haha.
김대리
Stop it, it's embarrassing...
Assistant Manager Kim nudged Assistant Manager Park, and when their eyes met, he shook his head.
As the drinking session dragged on and everyone was getting drunk, Assistant Manager Kim, who was perfectly sober, spoke up.
김대리
Daehwi, what do you like about our Assistant Manager Na?
I am staring blankly at Daehwi at that question.
이대휘
It's just... ever since we first met, I keep thinking about you, and I just want to keep seeing you whenever we run into each other by chance.
김대리
Wow... I'm jealous. Assistant Manager Park, did you hear?
박대리
Huh? W-what, what's going on?
김대리
Are you drunk? Haa... Assistant Manager Na, let's just hang out here tonight.
김대리
I'll pay first using Assistant Manager Park's card.
박대리
Yeah, why? Where are we going?
I see off Assistant Manager Park and Assistant Manager Kim as they nod, bow, and stand up.
Yeoju speaking to Daehwi after Assistant Manager Park leaves
나여주
It’s so nice to be someone who keeps coming to mind.
이대휘
Haha, shall we go home too?
The two leave the bar, nodding as they watch Daehwi laugh awkwardly.
After arriving home with a designated driver, tired Daehwi hugs Yeoju and speaks.
이대휘
I'm too tired to get up or wash up
나여주
Phew... Are you just going to sleep?
이대휘
Ha...ah... Ung
Yeoju looking at Daehwi while patting him on the back
Come to think of it, Daehwi was really nervous today.
나여주
It's 11 o'clock...
The female protagonist, feeling guilty about drinking alcohol without having eaten a proper dinner, mutters to herself and goes inside to wash up.
나여주
I should have a delicious dinner together tomorrow.
Yeoju, having come out of the shower, sees that Daehwi looks uncomfortable while sleeping and starts taking off his outer clothes.
나여주
Um... socks too...
As the female lead, who had been muttering to herself, fidgeted with her tie to loosen it
Daehwi opens his eyes, unties it with his own hands, and hugs Yeoju.
Daehwi buries his face in Yeoju's arms and speaks.
이대휘
Did you wash up?
Yeoju, feeling embarrassed by the comment, blushes and strokes Daehwi's head.
나여주
Yeah... I washed up. Here, Daehwi.
이대휘
Why, Daehwi, call me darling.
나여주
Yeah, honey
Daehwi is sleeping while listening to Yeoju's heartbeat.
나여주
good night
The female lead pats Daehwi and falls asleep following him.
