chapter 23
23 – 2-8. S Company’s rival does not appear in this episode.
“Hello!”
“…….”
Hyeonseong’s condition has become strange.
Is it because of the shock after the wedding hall exploded?
Other than that, did he go to Haoyi and join some kind of cult?
‘No matter how you look at it, it’s strange.’
The atmosphere has changed.
Before, I felt a little awkward.
It looked like it was shaking left and right and the standard was not straight.
To put it simply, it was like looking at a puppy that had just been born and had no spine.
An annoying person who makes people nervous the whole time they look at him.
At least he has some intelligence and he follows along well when taught, but it is true that he cannot do more than what was taught…
…Still, when I look at other kids, I hear people say that there are a lot of kids who can’t even do that and that they envy me.
‘What’s so good about a dog like that?’
If you ask for my hand, I give it to you.
If you tell them to die, they pretend to be dead.
You could see him as a cute puppy, but he wasn’t a trustworthy enough subordinate to trust.
But now?
─Tiring♬
“……Hmm.”
Even before I can say whether the work is finished, I organize it and send it by email.
I complete my work faithfully without any pretense just before leaving work.
When there was no answer, they even came directly to ask if they had received the message.
Thanks to you, the things I had to worry about in many ways have eased little by little.
It is good to ask whether you like it or not.
He proved his worth by evolving into a Jindo dog rather than a puppy, so it couldn’t be good.
But if I were to make an analogy, yes.
“Hyung…How do I do this?”
“Wait a minute. Where are the relevant documents…”
“……..”
Should I say that it looks subtly more trustworthy?
As I said at the beginning, the overall atmosphere has changed.
It is all over the place and there is no shaking.
And that trait soon appeared even in his attitude.
Shoulders always proudly spread out.
Surri standing upright.
In addition to his relaxed smile, should I say that he looks strangely handsome?…
‘…Are you crazy now?’
Come to your senses, you b*tch.
You do it again, even though you clearly know what kind of guy he is.
‘You ungrateful bastard.’
He is a man who repays favors with betrayal.
I taught him how to do things with all my passion and sincerity, but he didn’t even say thank you and ended up falling in love with another woman and going to the wedding.
…No, no!
That. Ah. Anyway!
“Queunnng….”
Anyway.
A dog who doesn’t know the grace in a bad guy.
No matter how much he broke it up and ran away right before the wedding, his true nature would not have gone anywhere.
‘I’ll keep watching.’
Let’s see how far we can hide our true nature.
…
..
.
“How does our Hyeonseong know my heart so well!”
“hahahaha…The assistant manager taught me.”
No.
I have never done that.
“…Did Assistant Manager Lee teach you this too?”
“Huh? Ah yes. Thanks to Assistant Manager Lee.”
So, I never taught you.
“Yes. This is what Assistant Manager also taught you, right?”
“It’s all thanks to the assistant manager.”
‘Keuuugh….!’
What is it really?
What is this person doing?
It’s not like I think people are fools.
‘No, maybe that’s it?’
Advanced spinning mower?
In fact, I was able to do well on my own even without your help, a sophisticated blackout operation?
‘But was Hyunseong the type of person who could do that?’
Anyway, you never know.
The image of an environmental tree or a hexagon tree coming in across from me and tapping me on the shoulder and smiling like the dark side of a romance novel flashed through my mind.
‘In fact, what if you could do everything but didn’t do it?’
Goosebumps. Goosebumps!
Reason criticized me, telling me to stop talking nonsense and stop writing novels, but my emotions and nature had already captured the fans.
For example, after learning about [Kim Chi-yeon]’S true nature, Hyeon-seong gradually noticed how much help I had given him and gradually developed a crush on me…
I want to give back what I’ve received so far, but I’m too embarrassed to return the feelings I already had, so I end up just showing off that I like it from afar…
‘What on earth is your purpose?…!’
I know too.
This is bullsh*t and nonsense.
But you give room. You keep looking at people.
There are degrees of confusing people.
It would be better to say it out loud, or else just stay quiet as usual.
‘If you were going to do it in the first place, you should have done it from the beginning.’
If that’s the case, yes.
It may not be appealing to the eye, but growing your own food is also said to be a trend.
Also, since it wasn’t something that didn’t go unnoticed at all, I could have drawn a picture of them growing up nicely and holding hands together to take over S Company──
‘Let’s not talk nonsense.’
─This has gone too far.
“Haaa….”
Anyway, the situation itself went in my favor, so there was nothing bad about it.
I somehow calmed my dizzy mind by taking a deep breath.
“Phew, haaa….”
….I don’t know.
Let’s just get on with our work.
Now, what if I get hit, and what else?
Anyway, there was no change in what I had to do.
‘It’s almost time for a promotion’
Keep your head straight, Italy.
You’re not the type of person to be swayed by a kid like that, are you?
…
..
.
“Ugh…..”
No.
“Ugh….!”
No.
“Ooh, ahhh!!!”
No, so please shut up, you damn heart bastard!
“Ahh! Ugh! Awww!”
She pounded her chest.
You know. That’s not what you mean at all?
If he had that much kicking ability in the first place, [Kim Chi-yeon] Would have gotten his bone marrow ripped out by that b*tch!
‘It’s all goodwill. ‘I said that out of kindness.’
Yes.
With a kind heart….
[…Because you are important.]
“…………..”
Hiccup!
…Ugh, ugh!
My face turns red.
At least when I was in front of Hyeonseong, I was so embarrassed and lost my sense of reality that it wasn’t obvious…
─Pang! Phut! Phut! Phut!
“Crazy bastard…Crazy bastard! Horny bastard!”
I kicked the blanket down with my foot.
I was a little tempted to come up from the house below, but I didn’t know. I kicked my feet first.
‘Is that really it?’
Do you have a heart?
A situation where you look like a fairy again?
In response to what happened to Kim Chi-yeon, his liking for me actually increased?
“Please don’t talk nonsense…!”
It is enough to read romance novels during high school night time.
Please stop saying strange nonsense and go to sleep.
I lay down on the blanket and closed my eyes.
[I like people who can do their jobs properly.]
“…………..”
A person who does his job properly.
[It is better for people to invest in themselves rather than showing off to others.]
“………….”
I am a person who invests heavily in myself.
A sophisticated career woman who wants to improve her abilities rather than dress up?
[I think it would be better to have short hair]
“…………”
If you think about it, I had short hair….
[As for personality… Rather than pretending to be friendly on the outside, I think it would be good if we could become truly friendly on the inside.]
“………….”
It may seem like a joke on the outside, but we exchange coffee, candy, and these days, even though it’s small, we also exchange greetings.
Even the way he looked at me recently showed strange kindness.
The eyes seemed to be filled with a bit of inner intimacy…
[I just want to be someone who can scold me when I do something wrong and apologize when I do something wrong.]
“……………………….”
Ah… It’s you.
No, let’s just sleep.
[I like people like you.]
“Ugh…..!”
Please, my stupid brain.
Stop writing useless romance novels and get some sleep now──
[I love Taeri.]
“──Hyaaat?!!”
Ah, it occurred to me.
The image of Hyunseong flirting with an amazing smile was replayed in my head.
Even the dubbing was perfect.
Even a scene drawn in your head as if you were watching some kind of animation.
‘….No way.’
Is it true?
Is it real?
No.
Probably not.
There is no way anyone would like someone like me in the first place.
So, I should sleep without expectations, but I should focus on my work without worrying about it…
“…………………..”
I was called to the rooftop by Hyeonseong.
There was no particular reason.
…No, it was enough to be considered nothing special.
‘This is what happened in Sh….’
They say there is no place that is clean.
‘….You’ve researched this far?’
I should say it was sincere, but the data collection was a bit obsessive.
Visit each constructed building and compare costs.
I took the initiative and entered the price of the material, labor costs, and even a guess as to how much it was made.
Looking at it, there is too much evidence to dismiss it as a delusion.
‘Could it be so?’
Let’s sleep on Sh.
It looks dangerous.
The reason he tried to push me back even though he called me a ‘precious person’ was probably because he knew these things.
“……After.”
Oh, what should I do with this?
To be honest, I thought it would be a good idea to follow Hyunseong’s advice and quit, but the situation was not conducive.
‘Because a promotion is at stake.’
Now is the time to gamble.
There was no change in the decision, but…
“…Thank you, Hyunseong.”
“Yes?”
Is it pure kindness?
Is there a duty between superiors and subordinates?
It’s either that or it’s really just a possibility, but I can’t tell if it’s ‘that kind of feeling’.
“I’ll buy you a drink later.”
“…………”
I remember what you said last time.
He said that if I go, he will follow me too.
At first I thought it was just words, but now I understand.
‘Let’s go together.’
No matter what happens, the two of us can do it.
For the first time, I showed my trust and showed my whole heart to the ally I finally had.
Like that
Sh construction application day.
“What? All the seats are already taken?”
“Yes…?”
I believed it.
I wanted to believe it.
“What is that…Is there a mistake…?”
“I said before that it would be for the first two people, right?”
“Yes. Are all the seats already filled?”
“Yes, it’s full.”
So I trusted them.
I opened my heart.
And the price is….
“Hey, Mr. Du Kim and Hyeonseong. So, we decided to go.”
“Did Mr. Hyunseong take the position instead of me…?”
“No? I didn’t say that?”
“Ah…Yes, I understand….”
I could no longer hear anything after that.
I just walked.
I walked.
“?…Sir?”
“Yoo Hyeon-seong.”
I approached Hyeonseong.
And then——I hit his cheek with all my might.
─Zaaa!
“……………………….”
I flinched, my body trembled, but I did not resist.
As if I knew I would get hit.
“…You piece of trash.”
“…………”
He didn’t even make an excuse.
That’s right. You can’t even make an excuse.
‘You…Knew…’
How much I wanted to go.
With promotion just around the corner, I was desperate for this opportunity.
If it were someone else, I would just chalk it up to bad luck.
“This….This, this….!”
At least you.
You shouldn’t have looked at me like that.
“Ugh……!”
To me who opened my heart to you.
You shouldn’t give it back in any other way!
“……………………….”
It’s frustrating.
My heart feels tight.
It hurts, feels dull, tears, and falls apart.
Sense of the floor becoming soft and sinking.
“Huh-eup──”
‘───Stop’
Chew and swallow your breath.
Don’t fall down.
You, at least to me, are used to this kind of thing, right?
Nothing will change.
It was just something that happened as usual.
“….Yoo Hyeon-seong.”
So, all I have to say now is this.
“Do your best.”
“………….”
I am an idiot for trusting someone.
I was a fool for trusting a man.
I believed something I shouldn’t have believed.
What an idiot.
What a stupid b*tch.
‘You haven’t learned anything in your life.’
I returned to my seat.
Next to the monitor, an empty plastic glass caught my eye.
“…………”
Crack, crack, crack.
I grabbed the plastic cup with my hand and crumpled it.
It should have been like this from the beginning.
“…..Huh.”
From the beginning.
It should have been like this.
**********************************
‘It rang.’
Still, there is nothing we can do.
I thought about leaving without Mr. Du Kim, but that didn’t mean that there would be rebar in the Sunsal building again.
Eventually, the incident will explode and the next answer is either whistle-blowing or both.
In that case, it was better for at least one person to survive.
And the answer that comes from me as a boss, colleague, and subordinate.
‘It’s better for the assistant manager to have Mr. Tae-ri here.’
Of course, I have no intention of being treated gently.
Right now, I’m thinking of making a bit of money through ‘short selling’ that the assistant manager mentioned…
“Please take care of me, Mr. Hyunseong!”
“….Please take care of me too, Mr. Du Kim.”
If it’s a bomb that’s about to explode,
I will turn it into art and explode it.
‘You better be prepared, Mr. Du Kim.’
I have no intention of destroying my company and leaving this little bastard alone.
