Chapter 294
He had only taken two steps when Park Seung-woo, who had just returned from the bathroom, waved his hand.
He had his characteristic innocent smile on his face.
“Yoo-hyun, good luck. I’ll bring you some ice cream later.”
“Sorry, but outsiders are not allowed here.”
“Hey, am I an outsider?”
“You’ll have to ask the group leader about that.”
Park Seung-woo, who had been blinking his eyes, belatedly realized that Yoo-hyun was leaving.
“What? Then it’ll be hard to see you even though we’re in the same building?”
“Probably.”
“What about phone calls?”
Yoo-hyun chuckled at the obvious question and answered.
“Of course. Call me anytime.”
“Okay. Are you coming to the dinner?”
“Sure. I have to go.”
At Yoo-hyun’s refreshing answer, Park Seung-woo’s face, which had been stiff for a moment, brightened up again.
“Then that’s fine.”
“Yes. I’ll be back soon.”
Park Seung-woo muttered softly as he watched Yoo-hyun turn around.
“Now I really won’t see him much...”
His face was full of regret.
It was when Yoo-hyun was walking down the hallway.
Somehow, Lee Ae-rin came up to him at the right timing and greeted him.
“Yoo-hyun, are you going up?”
“Yes. I have to work hard from now on.”
“Here, take this. It’s prepared by your supervisor.”
She handed him a big bag.
It was full of snacks and drinks.
Yoo-hyun took the plastic bag and thanked her.
“Thank you for taking care of me.”
“I wanted to deliver it to you personally, but it seemed difficult to get to the 15th floor.”
“This is too much. Thank you so much. I’ll enjoy it.”
“Good luck with your presentation. Fighting.”
Lee Ae-rin clenched her fist and cheered him on. Yoo-hyun smiled back.
He felt a deep camaraderie in their brief conversation.
It was a pleasant and heartwarming feeling.
It wasn’t just Lee Ae-rin.
There were many people he missed even though it had been only a little over half a year since he left.
There were his peers, and Jo Eun-ah, who had joined the PR team this time.
And there was one junior he wanted to check on.
But now was not the time for that.
Yoo-hyun lowered his head and quickened his pace.
He was about to pass by the marketing team’s seat when he heard a sharp voice.
“Jang Joon-sik. What the hell are you doing? Why are you picking a fight?”
“I’m sorry. But I think that’s wrong.”
“Huh. You really want me to show you?”
He turned his head and saw a new employee standing up to his senior.
It was something he could have just closed his eyes and let go of, but he made it worse by saying something unnecessary.
Yoo-hyun stopped for a moment and looked at the new employee.
He saw the face of Jang Joon-sik, who had been his junior in the past.
He was still in the marketing team before he moved to the product planning team.
Looking at him, Yoo-hyun chuckled.
“Kid, you’re still the same.”
Yoo-hyun was heading to the VIP meeting room on the 15th floor.
He and Kim Young-gil had rented out the luxurious conference room for a week.
They were going to prepare for their presentation here until the Apple product review meeting.
Kim Young-gil, who had arrived earlier, reached out his hand to Yoo-hyun.
“I’m counting on you.”
“Yes. Let’s do our best.”
Yoo-hyun shook his hand.
It was the start now.
Kim Young-gil had prepared hard for this with gritted teeth.
Yoo-hyun had also collected data and supported him.
“Yoo-hyun, here...”
“Yes. That part is...”
The wall made of high-quality materials was covered with papers.
The whiteboard was filled with dense writing.
They were busy preparing for their presentation when they heard a knock on the door.
Knock knock.
“Yes, just a moment.”
Yoo-hyun opened the thick door that blocked the window.
He had always been like that, and this time was no different.
As expected, he burned his will more strongly.
“No way. I really have to stay up all night for a week.”
“Just rest today. We have a team dinner, remember?”
“Can’t we postpone it for a day? I’m too anxious.”
It was Kim Young-gil’s passion.
Yoo-hyun understood his feelings well.
But that didn’t mean things would go well.
“The more you hurry, the more you go around.”
“But this time is different.”
“No. It’s better to skip the first day.”
Yoo-hyun’s words seemed reasonable, and Kim Young-gil finally nodded.
“Sigh. Fine. Let’s go, let’s go.”
“Okay. I’ll let them know.”
Then Kim Young-gil clenched his teeth harder.
“But let’s work hard until we leave.”
That was also Kim Young-gil’s attitude.
Yoo-hyun gladly agreed to that.
“Yes. Let’s do that.”
That evening.
Yoo-hyun visited the pork soup restaurant for the first time in a long time.
The lady who ran the restaurant hugged him with both arms as soon as she saw him.
“Yoo-hyun. Why did you come so late?”
“How have you been?”
She then touched his face with a worried voice.
“Oh my, look at how thin you are. Are you having a hard time these days?”
“No. I’m eating well and living well.”
“That’s good. You should. Our Ye-seul is...”
As the lady went on talking, Park Seung-woo, who was behind him, coughed.
“Ahem, ahem.”
The lady didn’t let Park Seung-woo go without a glance.
“Park, go find your seat. What are you doing here?”
“You should guide me.”
“Don’t you know where to sit? Go ahead and get some drinks ready.”
She threw a cold word at him and then held Yoo-hyun’s hand again.
“Oh my, our Yoo-hyun really needs to eat a lot today.”
“Haha. I’m fine.”
“Fine? What do you mean fine?”
Park Seung-woo whined as she spoke warmly to Yoo-hyun.
“I brought all the customers here, but you only like Yoo-hyun.”
The lady answered him right away.
“Yoo-hyun is handsome.”
“...”
“Hahaha.”
The team members who followed him burst into laughter.
Park Seung-woo eventually went into the store with a deflated shoulder and opened the refrigerator door.
He then took out some drinks and muttered.
“I’m going to drink everything here today.”
“He’s playing and falling behind.”
Of course, the lady cut him off sharply.
His shoulder rose up again after a while.
It was because of the lady’s special service.
The table in the room was filled with food without a break.
Park Seung-woo gave her a thumbs up.
“Auntie, you’re awesome as always.”
“Stop it. Park, don’t eat. You need to lose weight.”
“Why are you only like that to me?”
Park Seung-woo cried out, and the lady said bluntly.
“You’re going to America soon, right? You’ll be ignored if you’re too fat.”
“What? How did you know?”
“I know everything that goes on in this company. I also know how hard Yoo-hyun worked in Ulsan.”
“Really?”
The surprised Yoo-hyun asked, and the lady winked at him.
“Of course. There’s a place where I can hear everything.”
Snap.
She then opened a bottle and filled Park Seung-woo’s glass.
“Park, don’t be like that and have a drink.”
“Ah, thank you.”
She said in a calm voice.
She subtly conveyed her caring heart.
“You’ve worked hard. You’ll do well there too.”
“Thank you. I’m nothing.”
Park Seung-woo seemed a bit touched and trailed off.
