EP 2. The Origin of the Incident
A week has already passed since the new team leader, Taehyung, took office.
During that week, Taehyung became known as a handsome team leader, and even people from other departments came to see him.
직원/들
"I... Team Leader Kim...!"
김태형
Yes? Oh, you're in the marketing department, right?
직원/들
"Yes. Here is the first half report on the project we worked on together with the design department!"
김태형
Well...well done. I think this is enough.
직원/들
"Thank you..! Oh, and here.."
김태형
? What is it?
직원/들
"Take one when you feel like you're losing weight..!"
김태형
ah...
직원/들
"Then that's it..!"
직원/들
"Did you give it to me? Did you give it to me?"
직원/들
"I gave it to you. What should I do~!! You're so handsome.."
직원/들
"It's amazing that there are people like that in the company. Even though they're in a different team, this is a really great benefit."
직원/들
"The design department must be really nice... I get to see that face every day."
김여주
'Ugh... what's so good about it?'
김여주
'He's just a boring human being.'
The female employees did not understand the heroine.
No matter how handsome he is, a boss is a boss, and the female protagonist, who goes to many places, only felt that Taehyung was boring after seeing him for a week.
He was just a typical boss who didn't smile much and was only focused on work.
김여주
'I just wish I could get off work quickly.'
김태형
Okay, let's take a lunch break and then get back to work.
직원/들
"Enjoy your lunch!"
김여주
Oh, I'm going to eat with Manager Kim today.
김남준
Okay? Okay, see you later~
김여주
Yeah, have a nice lunch~
김여주
Let's go, sir!
직원/들
"Okay, let's go! What should we eat?"
김여주
How about rice noodles?
직원/들
"That's okay too!"
While Yeo-ju was leaving the office with Manager Kim,
직원/들
"Team Leader, would you like to eat together?"
김태형
uh...
직원/들
“There’s a good restaurant nearby. Let’s go together!”
김태형
..yes, that's right.
직원/들
"Manager Kim, Manager Kim, are you coming with us?"
김남준
Oh, great! Where are you going?
직원/들
"There's a new restaurant that opened across the street a few days ago."
Taehyung and Namjoon followed the male employees.
직원/들
"Come on, Manager Kim, have a drink~!!"
김남준
Ah... haha... I'm not good at drinking...
직원/들
"Hey, how could that be possible! If your boss gives you something, you just say thank you and take it right away!!"
김남준
I really can't hold my liquor...
김남준
I'll just have one drink.
직원/들
"Hey- this isn't something you should be taking out, Manager Kim. From now on, you have to drink it all up. Okay?"
김남준
all right...
김남준
'What are you talking about, pork belly and soju in the middle of the day, you people..!!'
김남준
'If someone saw this, they'd think it was a company dinner and not lunch time..!!'
The place Namjoon and his staff came to was a newly opened pork restaurant.
Namjoon doesn't really enjoy drinking, but he can't get out of the company of his superiors, and the glass keeps filling up no matter how many times he empties it, so it's killing him.
김남준
'Ah... dizzy...'
직원/들
"Would you like a drink too, Team Leader?"
김태형
No. I don't want to drink alcohol because I think it might be a distraction while I'm working.
직원/들
"Ah... yes."
직원/들
"Oh, but you know what I mean? It's Manager Kim."
김남준
yes..?
직원/들
"Oh, not Manager Kim, but Manager Kim Yeo-ju."
김남준
Why... the female protagonist...
직원/들
"Isn't that too arrogant?"
김남준
...?
직원/들
"Huh? What do you mean?"
직원/들
"No~ When I first started working, I treated you kindly and said I would teach you a little bit, but you completely ignored me~!!!"
직원/들
"Looking down on your superiors is something you should do once or twice... You're so shameless, you shameless!!"
김남준
'I'm fucking around... Who the hell is that guy who doesn't care about his body or face?'
직원/들
“Team Leader, you’re just getting more and more arrogant, aren’t you?!”
김태형
...yes?
김태형
Why are you asking me that?
직원/들
"Don't you even speak rudely to Team Leader Kim, using short answers and being so rigid? It's not like I'm being a wallflower, and even if I do that to you, how can you possibly meet such a great man..!!"
직원/들
"You need to behave properly, female employee!!!"
김남준
..what are you saying now...!
김태형
fizzle-
김남준
...?
Taehyung, who was sitting next to Namjoon, stopped Namjoon from crying for a moment, put his finger to his lips, and glared at his superior who had badmouthed the female lead.
김태형
Manager Park, I don't think it's appropriate to openly gossip in a crowded restaurant. And to a younger employee, who's at least 20 years older than you.
김태형
I wonder how you could say something like that in front of Deputy Kim Yeo-ju.
직원/들
"Huh? No, Team Leader..!!"
김태형
I'll go now. It's embarrassing to hear.
김태형
Please finish your meals and come back.
직원/들
"This... this...!!"
김태형
And, Manager Kim.
김남준
Oh, yes, team leader!
김태형
It looks like you've finished eating. Would you like to go together?
김남준
Yes? Ah...
김남준
Okay..! Okay, that's it..
직원/들
"......"
Taehyung left the restaurant with Namjoon, and the noisy atmosphere soon died down.
직원/들
"under....."
직원/들
"Why is that one Kim Yeo-ju agent putting up a shield like that? Isn't that just a tail-wagging thing?!!"
Step by step-
김태형
....
김남준
....
An awkward silence fell between the two as they left the restaurant.
Namjoon was grateful that he was brought out, but he was at a loss for what to say, and Taehyung just walked silently.
김태형
You're close with Manager Kim Yeo-ju, right?
Taehyung broke the silence and spoke to Namjoon.
김남준
Yes. We joined the company at the same time and are the same age.
김태형
Were those cuckoos like that originally?
김남준
Huh? A cuckoo..?
김남준
...Phew-
Namjoon burst out laughing at the thought of calling the superiors who gossiped about the female lead "chickens."
김남준
Sorry, I'm sorry.
김태형
No, there's no need to apologize for that.
김태형
...Let's hurry up and go. Lunch time is almost over.
Taehyung mumbled Namjoon's answer and quickened his pace.
김남준
Ah yes...!
김태형
and,
김태형
I'll stop by the convenience store later and drink some hangover cure.
김남준
yes..
When Namjoon returned to the office, most people were sitting at their desks, preparing for work.
The female lead was sitting at her desk, busy tapping away at her computer.
김여주
..what? have you been drinking?
김남준
Ha... Don't be ridiculous. How much alcohol are you giving me in broad daylight?
김남준
I still feel sick even though I took hangover cure.
김여주
You got scammed by Manager Park again? Just eat it alone.
김남준
The manager asked me to go with him, how could I refuse...
김남준
Seriously, those people...
김남준
Huh..!
김여주
...?
Namjoon blurted out his words in anger and looked at Yeoju in a hurry, saying, “Oh no.”
김여주
What, why are you stopping talking?
김남준
Ah... no. Nothing.
김여주
..I wonder what it isㅋㅋㅋ
김남준
under....
김남준
I need to go to the bathroom for a second.
김여주
Hey, I'm back-
직원/들
"Oh my~ I'm a little late. Haha."
As soon as Namjoon went to the bathroom, Manager Park and his subordinates came in, smelling strongly of alcohol, as if they had made a promise.
김태형
....
Taehyung, who didn't like the smell of alcohol, frowned slightly and looked at the employees, but they shamelessly went looking for water as if nothing had happened, disrupting the office atmosphere.
직원/들
"Hey~ There's no water? Water?"
직원/들
"I'll get rid of the water, sir!"
직원/들
"Oh my, thank you~ That's right, a female employee should be this lively. Yeah?"
직원/들
"Unlike any other Mr. Kim who treats his boss like a dog~"
김여주
.....?
