“Wow, two folks from our firm on a long-term go away of absence…”

“Properly, as a result of so many issues occurred in our firm not too long ago. I imply, did you see that discover about Chief Eejun Bae? He has been fired! How might this be? What occurred?”

“You lie, Oppa! I heard you and Assistant Supervisor Choi went to the identical highschool. Is that true?”

Shin was pouring himself a cup of espresso when he turned in direction of Yeonwoo in shock.

“How do you know that? Who instructed you?”

“Oh my god! So it’s true! Assistant Supervisor Choi himself instructed me on the final workplace dinner. I used to be so shocked after I heard it. I couldn’t consider it, however you might be telling me it’s true?!”

“I’ve nothing.”

“What? Man, you might be ineffective.”

“I heard he’s simply sick. He has at all times been not very wholesome even when he was youthful.”

She adopted him and continued, “By the way in which, I’m stunned about Assistant Supervisor Kang too. I heard he’s on go away due to a sick member of the family, however I’m shocked he would take this a lot day off.”

“Yeah, I do know.”

Somebody he shouldn’t fall in love with.

However in some unspecified time in the future, the stress between them escalated. The coldness became warmth. They started to burn for one another.

“…Alright, I’ll.”

“And wherever you go, I’ll comply with you. I’ll by no means allow you to go.”

“I do know.”

“Actually? Do you actually know?”
