Chapter 151 – Chapter 151
That was what work was.
If you can’t do your scheduled work, you can’t rest just because you’re off work.
Do-gyun returned home and banged on his laptop, swearing in his heart.
‘Fuck.’
Jeongmyongdae That was another problem. The time when I was about to leave work after finishing work. Myeongdae, that’s what ended up knocking out the accident.
‘Fuck how, fuck the business, fuck the asshole.’
A situation where the sound of ‘fuck’ comes out at the end of every word.
The worst second-hand shooter in history, Myeong-Dae Jeong, did one thing today. He ate all the necessary documents with one day left before the meeting with the client.
As a matter of course, he took care of it himself, and the result was this. In this way, even after he left work, he was fiddling with papers.
With Do-gyun filled with anger, he recalled a speculation that was infinitely close to a prophecy.
It was speculated that sooner or later he might stab Myeongdae with a knife.
Like that, he sighed heavily and touched the papers.
“So why didn’t you just retire?”
I heard the words of Eunseol. Do-gyun turned his head toward Eun-seol, who had been sipping alcohol next to him until the day before yesterday.
“… Iknow, right. What kind of riches and honors are you talking about?”
It was a complaint mixed with a sigh. Eun-seol, who clicked her tongue while looking at him, then cast her gaze at the documents Do-gyun was writing, and shuddered.
“… A business meeting?”
“Ah yes.”
Do-gyun tilted his head at Eun-seol’s reaction, who suddenly lost his expression, and answered.
“I have a meeting tomorrow, but the assistant shooter blew the papers. Well, I have to do it all night.”
It was really fortunate that Eunseol was out on a day like this. If Eun-ah had been with me, he wouldn’t have been able to get his hands on the work because he was sorry to leave him alone.
When Do-gyun let out a deep breath at what he had to do because it was fortunate among the misfortunes, Eun-seol, who had been reading the papers with his mouth shut until the day before, moved his lips.
“There, delete numbers 3 and 7.”
“Yeah?”
“Erase it.”
What is that again When Do-gyun tilted his head, Eun-seol, who had been looking at him, pointed at the laptop with his chin and continued.
“It’s because it’s a company I know. Those are Articles 3 and 7. If you look at it from there, you will have a seizure.”
“Eh? How does Eun-seol know about this company?”
Do-gyun had doubts.
The contract being drawn up was for a transaction with a semiconductor-affiliated company where Do-kyun works.
In other words, he has no contact with Eun-seol, who runs a department store.
When I looked at Eun-seol with such thoughts in mind, Eun-seol remained silent for a while, and soon answered the question.
“… That boss is our VIP. I’ve seen him a few times.”
“Five.”
“Look out. Because I think I can help you a little.”
“Oh, thank you.”
“Byul, if you’re grateful, clean up the toys in that bedroom. Why are you not cleaning that up?”
Flinch. Do-gyun’s body trembled at the words he heard. His mouth was tightly closed.
Toy. I was referring to the adult items that were spread out in the bedroom.
To the words of reprimand Do-gyun heard, he couldn’t bear to answer, ‘I didn’t clean them because they were annoying because they were things I used every day.’
All he did was get up and walk towards the bedroom, and that was it.
*
“Then I will go.”
“Okay, buy me a drink when you come. It’s almost gone.”
“Ah yes.”
Do-gyun snatched the card flying at me, turned around to watch Eun-seol enter the house, and suddenly remembered the contract Eun-seol had edited the day before.
After cleaning out the bedroom, the contract that I checked with me had been transformed into such a great look that I applauded.
It wasn’t just words, it was such a wonderful change that I wondered if the executives from that company had come to see it.
Isn’t that what a contract is? While chasing practical benefits, the emotional friction that can arise between each other should be minimized as much as possible.
What Eun-seol looked at were the clauses that had room for ’emotional friction’.
‘Did I say VIP?’
It seemed like a company I knew very well. After debating whether or not to remove it, Eun-seol looked at the provisions that were not removed and gave advice on what to remove and what to add.
‘Is this a personal connection?’
It reminded me of the fact that she was a businesswoman who had built a department store, which I had forgotten because she had only looked like a drunkard lately.
Do-gyun, who felt a smile burst out at the thought that came to his mind, turned around thinking, ‘I’ll have to buy some snacks on the way back.’
Afterwards, the place where Do-kyun arrived after driving for a long time was in the middle of the city.
Because it was an early meeting, I did not go to the company, but came straight to the meeting place.
So, Do-gyun, who entered a downtown cafe, ordered a cup of coffee and sat down to look at the documents he had edited the previous day.
“Sorry. I’m a little late.”
A voice came from behind.
A woman’s voice tinged with laughter.
Do-gyun turned his head, recalling that an employee of the customer had spoken to him.
“Ah, nice to meet you…”
He stopped his body in the reflected figure.
“Long time no see?”
What was reflected in his field of vision was his ex-girlfriend, Dan Ji-woo, whom he had once been with.
*
That’s what college was like.
The hot-blooded young people in their early 20s who are enjoying their freedom are gathered together, so sparks fly all over the place.
The little boys who clumsily pretend to be adults are grabbing Gao for no reason to hide their immature feelings.
… He himself, at that time, was one of the clumsy little kids in the place.
Gangwon-do mountain village neighborhood. An immature little boy who came up to Seoul in a fit of rage after hearing that a school in the village broke his head.
Pretending to worry about the future, pretending to work for the future. At the same time, an immature kid who was busy playing around rationalizing that human relationships were specs.
So, when I see a real grown-up person, I feel intimidated for no reason, and I am a kid who was busy trying to rationalize and soothe myself by saying that they are the same bastards.
Do-gyun had met her during her really clumsy period, when she had just been discharged from the military and the world seemed to be her own.
It wasn’t that there was a big incident before dating.
MT just happened on a spring day. It all started when he happened to be sitting next to me that day.
It was just such a relationship where we borrowed alcohol and naturally started talking, naturally got closer, and naturally dated.
All the while we were dating, rather than questioning “Why?”
Emotions took precedence over rationality, and they achieved understanding rather than understanding.
I just love it, the soft hand I’ve never held in my life, or the smile toward me shakes my insides and makes my eyes go round. Like everyone else, I had such a clumsy first relationship.
So, for about 3 years or so.
Even though she was with her that period, which could not be said to be short even as a joke, her do-gyun did not know her well. She also did not know Do-gyun well.
So it was parting.
She cited her own community activities as the reason, but she now also knew her do-gyun.
The fact that both of them did not love each other, but loved themselves standing in the middle of their youth.
So the longer the period of dating, the more I was getting tired.
It was a relationship that would end in one way or another, even if he hadn’t been caught out about his community activities.
Now, it has become a memory that I can talk about with a smile…
‘This is how it works.’
Ironically, the relationship was pushing the clumsy past into himself in a very funny way.
Well, after all, a reunion like this wasn’t unusual.
Same department at the same university. When it comes to higher education, all of them were at the level of being there, so even if they went on different paths, there could be a moment of meeting like this.
Do-gyun looked at his ex-girlfriend, Ji-woo, who was sitting across from her and sipping coffee.
“You are old.”
“Losing?”
Invective that continues as soon as you sit down. It was an atmosphere that I hadn’t felt in a long time.
A face I haven’t seen in almost 7 years.
There was no bubbly atmosphere like back then. She was now in the middle of adjusting to her social life and had a more grown-up vibe than back then.
The feeling of seeing other people welled up little by little, but there were also things that didn’t change. It was the straight bobbed hair, the height that was quite tall for a woman, and the impression that looked ferocious at first glance.
Do-gyun put on a strange sentiment on his face, which he hadn’t seen in a long time.
“Wow, talking about work? I have no feelings.”
“Well, since I’m here to work, I need to talk about work first.”
Do-gyun responded in a tone full of laughter.
It was an encounter with a person who stimulates nostalgia, but that’s it. Wasn’t it too long for her to post something like now and sorrow?
In addition, since she now had someone she loved, she could be so calm even if she met her again.
In response to Do-gyun holding out the document and handing it to him, Ji-woo looked at Do-gyun for a moment and then cast his eyes toward the document.
Even when he criticizes, he quickly accepts it.
This could also be said to be something that hasn’t changed in her, and the reason why the two of them were able to date for a long time even though they didn’t know each other.
She was a person who knew how to act like her sword when it came to interests, both herself and her.
“Hey, have you done well? It could be approved right away.”
These were the words of Ji-woo, who was reading the documents.
Do-gyun spat out an answer, expressing his gratitude to Eun-seol for editing the document once again.
“Thank you for the compliment?”
“It was nothing.”
Ji-woo shrugged his shoulders and said that, then continued to speak as he gathered up his documents.
“Well, we have some time left. Do you want to go out and eat?”
“Aren’t you going to work?”
“It’s been a long time since I’ve been away, so I have to goof around at times like this.”
“Then what… Do you know where? I don’t know much about this one.”
“Is Baekban House okay?”
“Okay, then with 100 and half.”
The conversation went on quickly. It was because there was no reason to be emotional and hit the wall.
Now that they have become men and women going their separate ways, they were able to pass this encounter smoothly.
Do-gyun cleaned up all the things he had spread out on the table until the day before yesterday, and then got up from his seat.
“Then let me show you how great the house is.”
“How are you?”
Answer with a smile. At that, a mischievous laugh escaped from Do-gyun’s mouth.
*
“I am here.”
“You worked hard.”
Do-gyun returned home and gave Eun-seol a drink.
“Ah, thank you for today. Thanks to you, I’ve been able to solve it well.”
“Then I’m glad.”
Do-kyun giggled at Eun-seol’s act of opening the bottle on the spot as soon as he accepted the drink, then continued talking as he untied the bag he was wearing.
“Ah, at the business meeting today.”
“Well?”
“Because I had a girlfriend. She seems to be working there.”
Words that are still full of laughter. Eun-seol was taken aback by those words, stopped his body and looked at Do-gyun.
“… Did you?”
“Yes, that’s true, isn’t this neighborhood very small?”
Eun-seol’s eyes narrowed.
A red flag went on in my head.
Eun-seol felt the warning light in his head go off like crazy and looked at Do-gyun who giggled.
“Hmm, yes. That’s interesting.”
“Oh right. I bought some snacks, do you want to eat them now?”
“Get ready. I’m in my room for a while.”
“Yeah.”
Eun-seol quickly headed to the room. Cold sweat ran down his back.
From Do-gyun’s point of view, it was Eun-seol, so he said it thinking that he would laugh at this, but there was something Do-gyun overlooked.
Eun-seol is Eun-a’s substitute personality.
In other words, I couldn’t even hide what Eun-ah couldn’t do.
In other words, Eun-seol has no dating experience. He learned love through books.
In addition, most of the books Eun-seol read were non-philosophical books or classical literature that dealt with infidelity as a regular subject matter.
Eun-seol quickly entered the room and took out a notebook for conversation between personalities that she had hidden in a corner.
Swinging his pen, Eun-seol came up with such an idea.
-Emergency.
This was a moment when collective intelligence was needed.
