96 – Building the Future
1)
“Wow… Did you see that car next to you..? What the hell is that..?”
“Is that…?”
“Yeah, that… I don’t know what the car maker is- but it looks incredibly expensive. I thought I could buy the 3 Bongos I’m driving right now, even if I took off the rear-view mirror and sold it?
Mr. Sangmu said that he stopped by the bathroom once before getting into the car.
Then, while I was walking to the parking lot after doing my errands, the uncomfortable confrontation between me and Lee Jin-ah continued.
I don’t know why, but after getting in the car, Jinah Lee didn’t leave right away and kept looking at something on her pad, and I squatted down uncomfortably outside- checking the time on my phone,
I go outside the parking lot and check whether the manager is coming or not. Then, the awkward confrontation continued, returning to the parking lot with awkward steps.
It was clear that if Mr. Sangmu had arrived a little later, I would have just taken the bus or walked home.
Fortunately, would you like to walk home?
“Hey, but… No”
“…What’s wrong”
“I just thought it would make you think a little weird if I said this.”
“…? Did I do something wrong?”
“No, it’s not like that… I just thought it would be better not to talk about it. To be honest, it sounds like nonsense…”
“Why stop talking. Don’t make people curious. Tell me quickly. Ah- quickly…”
“No, it’s just that girl next to our car. Safety officer. He, when he sees you, he just- seems to be smiling a little.”
“…Uh…?”
“So, when I look at other people, I seem to look at them with half-sleepy eyes- but when I look at you, I just- do I have to say that my eyes are a little round..?
…No sh*t. I know it’s just nonsense, but- that’s just… The f*cking thing.
Don’t take it too seriously. Why does he like you
As a full-time employee at a large company, he looks very young, but he drives a good car..? Even at a glance, it seems like a golden spoon- Would anyone like to see someone like you because they’re crazy…
It must be just a coincidence, what- …Hey…! What about me too? Is there such a thing as a f*cking sensibility? When the spring vibes come up gently like these days…? Uh..? Even an old man like me has love cells…”
“…”
“..Hey, what’s wrong with your expression..? Do you want to go to the bathroom? I’m going to gas anyway. Would you like to go to the bathroom at the gas station over there?”
“It’s not like that”

As soon as I got home, I threw myself onto the bed like I was diving!
-Full seats!
The bed rocked once!
I didn’t even change the clothes I was wearing outside and rolled around.
I don’t know why I’m feeling so happy today when I’m rolling around with my pillow tightly in my arms.
This feeling. It’s been a while. I thought I’d never feel something like this again.
-Heehee
I ran into Yoo Seon three times today.
At first, while checking in the morning, once. And twice while working. Three times on the way to work.
I didn’t observe with a camera from far away, but I was able to see Yoo Seon from close enough to hear what he was saying.
And Yoo Seon didn’t even avoid me all three times. It just seems like I’m still there. He treated me like air, but I’m fine with that! Rather this is better!
Because it’s good to arouse suspicion if we run into each other too often… For the next few days, I’ll be patient..!
I have to meet Yoo Seon again when some time has passed.
I think I did a good job putting the car in an empty lot today, not in the parking lot.
I will continue to park my car there!
I’ve been observing you ever since I saw Yoo Seon get out of the van and go to work, and it seems that Yoo Seon always gets out of there!
So I parked my car there today too, and I thought it was a relief to see Yoo Seon!
…I wasn’t supposed to do anything like tailing… But this… This isn’t tailing!
…Originally, it’s natural for managers to take responsibility for workers…
Industrial accident handling is not limited to what happens in the workplace, but even if a worker gets into an accident due to a natural disaster while commuting to work, the workplace has an obligation to deal with industrial accidents.
Yoo Seon is a worker, but what if she gets hit by a truck or gets stabbed by a forklift while walking down the street..?
There is a safety audit to prevent that from happening.
So… I didn’t do anything wrong. Because, I am grateful for the safety of wired.
Because I have to prevent dangerous things from happening to Yoo Seon from a distance- So… I can see that it is my job to keep an eye on Yoo Seon to make sure he goes to and from work safely.
I was going to go to the parking lot first, but Yoo Seon stood awkwardly looking at me.
I opened the car door as naturally as possible and sat in the driver’s seat, so it didn’t seem like Yoo Seon was avoiding me… I quietly watched him.
Pretending to be working with a work pad in one hand- I kept watching Yoo-sun from the side of my eye… It’s been a long time since I observed Yoo-sun from such a close distance and for a long time.
…I think my skin is tanned a lot because I worked outside. Also, his hair has become much shorter, and his body has become thicker than before. In the past, I was very childish, but now, when I become a full grown man…
“…Huh…”
I need to change my car to a cheaper one.
Because Yoo Seon-i doesn’t like that kind of burden – Come to think of it, he’s only worn expensive clothes until now – I need to change all of these too.
Although it’s already late…
Coming to think of it, I think I was very lax.
I’m the one who works here as a safety inspector, and the clothes and the cars- I’m sure people will think it’s weird if I use everything that’s super expensive-
I’ve never thought of that before.
The manager didn’t say anything, so I just went ahead and said that, but from now on, I’ll have to use public transportation like everyone else, and I’ll have to use a lot of SPA brands on clothes that don’t cost more than 100,000 won up and down. Same.
…A little, more… So that I can get closer to Yoo Seon.
When I stand next to you again, I want to look good this time.
…Something that happened in the past came to mind…
Not good memories. I set a bunch of his nails up and squeeze his arms. His fingers dig into his skin and it hurts… I shouldn’t have done that…
Still, I saw hope today. Because Yoo Seon-i saw me and didn’t avoid me!
What happened today must have been a very trivial thing for Yoo Seon, but I wonder if this could be a signal that our relationship can be restored in the future…?
“…Ah…!”
Come to think of it, what did Yoo Seon write in the letter of the heart today?
Since Yoo Seon put the paper first in the letter box of his heart, as soon as he left, I immediately jumped out from the corner of the safety training center and picked up Yoo Seon’s heart letter instead.
I’m glad things turned out better than expected. Should I have someone do a handwriting check…? I thought that too, but I’m glad it didn’t happen.
-Some coffee, please. There are not enough paper cups.
…I think I need to buy a lot of coffee. I think I need to order a few more boxes of paper cups.
You just have to tell the director about this… From now on, if there’s anything Yoo Seon wants, I’ll have to listen to it through a letter from the heart.
Because… I’ll go and find out what Yoo Seon needs..? If you ask me, of course I hate it, or I’m afraid of it.
Or it’s because there’s nothing wrong or it’s obvious that it’s one of the three… It’s a little uncomfortable, but I’m trying to figure out what Yoo Seon wants.
….I know. There is no way that the word ‘Lee Jin-ah’ will ever be written on this piece of paper.
I know, but… I want to be of help to Yoo Seon. Because I want to help…
If I don’t do something like this, I won’t be able to help Yoo Seon… I won’t be able to talk to her or touch her. Watching from afar to see if Yoo Seon-i is doing well or not.
I know there’s nothing I can do about it.
Safety audit.
I know that that period is now less than a month away. After the safety audit, I decided to disappear from this world…
“…”
Honestly, it’s a life without regrets. But in the end, I only did things that helped Yoo Seon-i, so I’m satisfied enough with this.

“…Hey Yoo Jung”
“… Huh?”
“Are you still looking for a part-time job at your store?”
“Yes, but why?”
“I’m returning to the unit after my vacation this time. Then, I want to work there from the next vacation. What do you think?”
“…Uh…It’s good for me”
“Okay, then let’s do it”
“Why… Did something happen at the construction site today? You don’t look good?”
“Uh… Just something weird happened”
“What happened…?”
“..No no, a strange man said something nonsensical to me today, right? So, that makes me feel bad”
From noble mtl dot com
“…It could be, but don’t be too daunted by that…”
To tell the truth, I thought Yoo-jung would take it too seriously, so I just covered it up.
What… Honestly, it’s not wrong..? During the assembly this morning, the construction director said something strange, and that’s why… I felt remorse as he looked at me with worried eyes.
…Lee Jin-ah. Well… To be honest, is there anything special?
“What happened to Yoojung today?”
“Get the coffee, get the coffee… Get the coffee…”
“…”
Yes. Well, I know Lee Jin-ah well, but with Lee Jin-ah’s personality, there’s no way I’ll leave Yoo-jung alone. While watching Mutube with a pad, something funny came out and the bread exploded.
As it has been up until now, nothing special will happen in the future… Will something special happen…?
