Chapter 252:
Chapter 252
It was when Yoo-hyun finished showering in the bathroom after arriving home with Ha Jun Seok.
Ding dong.
“Yes, I’m coming.”
The delivery food that he ordered just in time arrived.
Yoo-hyun took the pork trotters and spread the tray, quickly placing the food.
Before he knew it, the table was filled with food and drinks.
But Ha Jun Seok was still motionless in his room.
“Jun Seok, what are you doing? Hurry up and come.”
“Oh, just a minute. I have something to check.”
Yoo-hyun wondered what it was and got up from his seat.
The guy was checking his email on his computer.
It was work-related stuff.
“You’re working here too?”
“Yeah. I just need to confirm the contract that came in.”
“What is it? The Nam Jong Bu case?”
“No, that’s not it... Ah! Right. I need to buy some liquor.”
“Forget it, just finish checking and let’s eat.”
Yoo-hyun left those words and turned around.
That’s when he heard Ha Jun Seok’s frantic voice from behind.
“Huh? Yoo-hyun! Yoo-hyun!”
“What is it?”
“Look, look at this.”
Yoo-hyun approached him and asked, and Ha Jun Seok pointed to the monitor with his finger.
There was a familiar face on the screen.
“Huh? Hyun Su.”
“Right? Isn’t it? Wow! This kid, he made it to the news. And it’s our newspaper!”
“Scroll down a bit.”
“Okay, okay.”
Yoo-hyun checked the title and skimmed through the details of the article.
<“I just pulled him out because he was there.”, The car center owner’s good deed makes people ‘teary-eyed’!>
It was the same gist as the article Yoo-hyun had seen before.
Except Kim Hyun Su’s photo was huge, and the article content was richer.
The article that had been tucked away in a corner of a local newspaper had belatedly exploded.
And it was our newspaper of all places.
Why on earth...
It was too coincidental to be a coincidence.
Ha Jun Seok, who had no idea of Yoo-hyun’s dilemma, muttered excitedly.
“His dad is also heartwarming. He donated rice even though he has no money. He should have given it to Hyun Su instead.”
“Hyun Su didn’t accept it, so he donated it.”
“That’s true. Hey, the comments are good too.”
It was as Ha Jun Seok said.
-He looks like he has a young friend now. His heart seems to be upright too. It’s been a long time since I saw such a warm news.
-This is how you should live in this world. I’m going to that car center too.
-I know that owner. He’s very kind, and the repair fee is cheap.
-Where is the car center located? I can’t find it no matter how hard I look.
There were a lot of warm messages for a portal site news comment section.
Yoo-hyun smiled as he read them carefully.
Ziing.
A text message came from Oh Eunbi, a reporter.
-There’s an article by a junior reporter that I think is good, so I recommend it to you. Try searching for Kim Yeonguk, the reporter.
Yoo-hyun chuckled when he finally understood the situation.
It was clear that Oh Eunbi, who had heard this story from him a few days ago, had helped him from behind.
It was absurd, but he could see that she had deliberately cared for him, so Yoo-hyun sent a message of gratitude right away.
-Thank you. I owe you a lot.
Soon after, another message flew in.
-Think of it as paying back the favor. And just in case, I’ll leave you the junior’s number.
In fact, if you look at it, Yoo-hyun had received much more help from her.
He felt a little sorry, but he intended to pay her back later.
As he was about to send a reply with that feeling, Ha Junseok was already on the phone with Kim Hyunsoo.
He had it on speaker mode, so Kim Hyunsoo’s voice was also heard.
“Hyunsoo, you’re awesome!”
-Hey, I know why you called, so stop it.
“How can you not call me even once when you’re in the newspaper! Are you a star now?”
-I’m already going crazy because of that.
“Your car center is a hit. Congratulations. Buy me a drink!”
-Junseok, stop being an asshole and...
Kim Hyunsoo’s rough voice echoed loudly.
Jo Gangtae bowed his head and showed the spirit of Circuit Team 3 with his body.
“Yes, Team Leader.”
“There’s soccer today, right?”
“Yes.”
“If we lose to this kind of team, I’ll kill you.”
“I understand.”
Hamjonggil emphasized the words this kind of team and got up from his seat with a bang.
Creak.
Kimhogeol also got up and said.
He also had a bit of a stubborn side to him.
“Team Leader, I think the expression this kind of team is...”
“What’s wrong with saying this kind of team to this kind of team?”
“...”
But that didn’t work on Hamjonggil either.
He scolded Kimhogeol in front of both teams’ staff.
It was a really childish response.
“That’s also a team leader. If you don’t like it, improve your skills.”
“...”
His childishness didn’t end there.
He ignored both teams’ staff by bringing up soccer.
“Oh, can you win at soccer? With those weaklings.”
“Team Leader, that’s too much.”
Kimhogeol blushed and confronted him. Hamjonggil shouted angrily.
“Kim Team Leader! You follow me out.”
“Yes.”
In the suffocating atmosphere, the two team leaders left their seats.
The meeting broke down. But no one got up from their seats.
As the two team leaders clashed hard. A strange current flowed between the two teams that had already been in friction.
Jo Gangtae looked at Jeong Inwook across from him and sneered at him.
“Jeong Manager. It’ll be fun if we lose at soccer.”
“We’ll do our best regardless of winning or losing.”
Jeong Inwook gave a textbook answer. Lim Changi, the senior engineer next to him, chimed in with a snort.
“Hey, you’ll be in trouble if we lose. Director Go won’t let it go.”
“Lim Senior, stay out of it.”
Jeong Inwook said with a stiff expression.
Jo Gangtae picked a fight with him childishly.
“Why? Are you better at soccer than Lim Senior?”
“Jo Manager, what does that have to do with being good at soccer?”
“What do you mean, what does it have to do with it? Then, should we do it with work? Are you better at drawing circuits than Lim Senior?”
“Jo Manager!”
Jeong Inwook couldn’t stand it and snapped.
This was also an unexpected situation.
Yoo-hyun, who was watching the interesting situation, was asked by Minsujin, the senior engineer next to him.
“Yoo-hyun, are men always this childish?”
“Yes. They tend to be like this.”
“Geez. They’re like this whenever they talk about soccer or games. Tsk tsk.”
Minsujin showed her insight while Jo Gangtae kept nagging.
“Jeong Manager can’t do it, so he’s out. The captain on your side is Maeng Senior, right?”
“Yes, Manager.”
Maeng Giyong answered reluctantly. Jo Gangtae lifted Lim Changi next to him.
“You better be prepared. Our Lim Changi Senior is good at kicking the ball.”
“Hey, I’m not that good. Park Bongsu Chief is better than me.”
“No, Senior.”
Lim Changi pointed to Park Bongsu next to him as he backed off. Park Bongsu, who had a good build, nodded his head.
They both looked like they had done quite a bit of exercise.
Jo Gangtae smiled and said to Jeong Inwook.
“Hehe. Well, you know our skills best, Jeong Manager.”
“...”
“So be prepared. Don’t cry after you lose.”
Jo Gangtae provoked him childishly. Jeong Inwook clenched his fist.
But there seemed to be nothing he could do in front of his old team members.
It seemed like the situation was crossing the line. Yoo-hyun stepped in.
“You can only know how long or short it is after you try it.”
“What are you doing, butting in?”
“Do you want me to introduce myself again?”
“Huh!”
Jo Gangtae made an incredulous expression at Yoo-hyun’s words.
The staff of the Pre-Product Team swallowed their saliva and looked at Yoo-hyun.
