＜Episode 117＞ First work 2
Fortunately, the team leader was not the type of person who drank alcohol. His personality was as free as the team atmosphere, so there was no need to hold on to the team members who were about to return for long.
I was also one of those ‘returning team members’. But today, I am the protagonist. It was common sense to stay seated until the meeting was arranged.
Throughout the meeting, I looked at my phone several times.
The 1 written next to the message showed no sign of disappearing.
The team disbanded just after 9 o’clock.
On the way back from the dinner party, 1 was still there. How many hours has it been since you sent the message? It was quite embarrassing for me to not even read if there was no reply.
I even tried to call the old woman, but it didn’t connect either.
Am I just squeamish?
It’s not strange to be upset because I couldn’t keep my promise. For whatever reason, I ended up breaking the new order to come back early. There was a good chance that he was so angry that he ignored my KakaoTalk.
Or maybe something so big that I can’t even check the message has happened.
He said he was going to school to see a friend. There wouldn’t have been an accident there.
I suddenly collapsed and couldn’t get a call… … nope
I don’t know the former, but I hate to even imagine the latter. The pounding of his heart was beating so hard that it reached his ears.
I rolled my feet in the taxi, embracing my worries. It’s not like I’m going home soon. There was no way out because of the impatience that kept growing.
The taxi arrived in front of the house only at 9:30. After paying the bill, I hurriedly ran home.
The pace of running, the speed at which the elevator descends, and the time it takes to get on and go up. For me, who couldn’t afford it, everything felt slow.
Finally arrived at the front door of the house. I pressed the door lock code as quickly as possible and opened the door suddenly.
There were no shadows of people in the house. There was no sound, and there was no pretending of popularity.
I took off my shoes and went inside, and the kitchen light was on.
The table under the lamp was covered with a large cloth. Through the gap between the cloth and the table, various dishes could be seen.
It’s like a table set up for someone.
Other than that, there was nothing odd about it. It was a very ordinary scene, just like our house.
I lost my head and my thoughts started to clear up.
If there was an accident at home, there would have been traces of it. If something happened outside, I would have contacted you. There is no need for me to give this award if I’m sulking because I’m late.
This gave me a rough idea of what Si-eun was doing.
When I turned my face, I saw the tightly closed door of the room.
The old door closed turned my expectations into certainty.
I gently opened the room door.
In it… … Again, Si-eun was lying on the bed and trying to sleep.
To the extent that no one knows who is carrying it, so hard.
“ha… … .”
Reassurance of late A deep sigh escaped me.
I flipped through my hands and pressed the light switch in the room. Even though the bright light was on, Si-eun only tossed and turned.
okay. I slept so well that I didn’t even get a call.
He looked at Si-eun’s bedside cell phone. In addition to KakaoTalk notifications, there were countless missed call notifications. I don’t know, but most of it is probably mine.
It was difficult to bear with this carefree appearance any longer.
He knelt down in front of the bed and hugged Si-eun’s sleeping body tightly.
“honey.”
“… … Yes?”
Si-eun’s body twitched as if surprised by the sudden touch and voice. Si-eun, who had been drooling as if she did not understand the English language, immediately started tossing and turning.
It was also awhile. Soon after, Si-eun woke up and a familiar voice flowed into my ear.
“… … uhm. Did you sleep well, honey?”
“… … .”
no. I haven’t woken up yet.
well done My surprised heart doesn’t seem to be able to calm down easily. At this point, I decided to pat Si-eun on the back until she woke up.
All the while, Si-eun said, “Why are you doing this?” He repeated only the sound of a child’s grumbling.
how long has it been Soon, Si-eun’s body jumped up a little.
“Uh, what is it? Isn’t it morning?”
“okay.”
I guess I’ve finally come to my senses. When she released the body she was holding, Si-eun took off the blanket and raised her upper body. Then, while stretching, he showed a yawn that stretched out. It looks like he slept very well.
Si-eun glanced at her phone.
“Is it 9:40? slept too long I guess it’s because I woke up early after a long time.”
“okay. It did… … .”
A voice that I didn’t know whether it was a joking or talking to myself came out of my mouth.
Only now have I fully grasped the cause of the situation.
Si-eun was sleeping so deeply that she couldn’t even get in touch with her to make up for her lack of sleep.
From the moment we started dating, Si-eun adjusted my lifestyle to me. Then I woke up early, so I guess I didn’t get enough sleep.
Especially today, didn’t you even prepare everything for me? There is also love in the ship. Since it’s spring, it must have been affected by spring fatigue.
Anyway, it’s an hour away. I was worrying unnecessarily. When I came to a simple unexpected conclusion, I even felt a kind of disappointment.
A feeling of regret filled the place where the anxiety was settled.
I came home after 9:30 on the subject that I would come back early. It’s like breaking a promise no matter the reason.
A sinful heart swelled and he bowed his head.
When I looked up, I saw that Si-eun was constantly checking her phone. I put my face close to the screen to see if my vision was blurry.
Then, suddenly, he raises his head.
“sorry. I didn’t answer the phone because I was sleeping. Also, did you send a Kakaotalk message saying that you are coming for dinner?”
“yes… … .”
When I answered timidly, Si-eun tilted her head.
“what’s the matter?”
I’m so sorry I can’t even make eye contact. He pulled his gaze out of the bed and said.
“You came late.”
“You came here for a party.”
“Still, I broke my promise to come early and was late.”
The voice is constantly crawling.
I left my wife with children at home alone. I can’t help but feel sorry and guilty. Even if Si-eun did not rebuke me, it was difficult to erase these feelings.
With my head lowered like that.
This time, Si-eun hugged her tightly.
A warm feeling filled my face.
A unique scent of poetry. The sound of a beating heart pounding through the chest. Perhaps because of just waking up, the body temperature was warmer than usual.
Everything was felt in Si-eun’s arms.
“I must have misunderstood something.”
Si-eun whispered in a soothing tone.
“You’ve been playing secretly with me. I didn’t like it and it bothered me, so I came in late on purpose… … . If this were the case, I would be angry and angry. I can forgive you for a reason like a dinner party. No, it’s not something I’d forgive in the first place.”
A serious voice tickled her ears as if she was trying to convey her feelings without hiding. There was nothing playful or light-hearted.
Si-eun’s story continued as she was quietly listening.
“I value honey as much as honey, and the life of honey and the people around her are also important. Besides, I want many people to know that Honey is so wonderful. I am more happy when I get to know the people of the company.”
Afterwards, Si-eun showed a sweet smile.
“So it’s okay. I will not be angry about this.”
Riding on Si-eun’s body, the words of forgiveness sounded.
The middle of the chest is boiling hot. Now I couldn’t stand it at all. I grabbed Si-eun’s shoulder and escaped from Si-eun’s arms. It was because I was so grateful, I wanted to tell my heart somehow.
In this state, when our eyes met straight, Si-eun showed a gentle smile.
“of course.”
Si-eun added before he could say anything.
“Can’t you date a girl?”
“Yes. I will keep that in mind.”
confirmed immediately. It was because the sharp blade seemed to be hidden behind the expression. Hesitating in front of such a smile, it felt like something sharp was going to hit me right away.
However, there was no need to worry about this part.
First of all, our team is the only team, so there are no women… … .
Even if not, a woman who surpasses Si-eun cannot exist in the world.
I want to say something, but I can’t think of an appropriate expression.
In this case, there was only one possible word.
“Thank you, honey.”
“It’s nothing, what?”
Si-eun returned a small smile to her heart.
Soon there was silence in the room. It was so quiet that the creaking noise of the bed was barely audible.
They exchanged glances without saying a word.
A loud rumble resounded throughout the room.
I glanced down at the presumed epicenter and opened my eyes again… … Si-eun’s face was glowing red.
Then there was a shy smile.
“It was like this before bedtime. It looks like Sarang is very hungry.”
well I wonder if the sound of Sarang’s squeak will go over the ship and resonate throughout the room… … . Rather, there were other points of concern.
Is there something you saw before entering the room?
“honey.”
“why?”
It was a timid tone. His expression was also pale. Are you doing this for fear of making fun of you with a squeak? Of course, I’m talking about that, but I didn’t mean to make fun of you right now.
“You haven’t eaten yet?”
When asked softly, Si-eun averted her eyes.
“Yeah, honey, I was going to eat with you when you come back. They said they were having a party, so it doesn’t matter now.”
I guess it was too
he sighed and said
“If I was hungry before bed, I would have eaten first.”
“Well, anyway.”
At my words, Si-eun took a deep breath with a small smile.
“Honey, when you come home from work, making a delicious dinner and eating together… … Because it was my dream.”
told me this
Shy language. A charming gaze that recites a dream that has been nurtured in the heart.
A single word filled with laughter filled with affectionate emotions.
As he was about to stare in rapture, Si-eun showed a mischievous smile.
“Anyway, honey, wash up. I eat for a while… … .”
“no.”
Si-eun tilted her head as she intervened in the middle.
“yes?”
He looked directly into Si-eun’s eyes again and made fun of his mouth.
“let’s eat together.”
“What?”
Si-eun asked, as if surprised by the sudden sound.
“Honey, you said you were having a dinner party. Didn’t you come here to eat?”
“Oh, that’s it. Today’s dinner menu is a dish I don’t like, so I didn’t eat much.”
“There are very few foods you don’t like honey.”
“Uh, uh… … .”
It was a mistake. Si-eun knows me better than I do. I threw in a crappy excuse. Soon after, his suspicious eyes dug into him, so he had no choice but to avoid his final gaze.
Si-eun, who gave her strange eyes for a while, then covered her mouth and smiled.
“okay.”
Then.
“… … Honey, eat as much as you want, in moderation.”
He said this with a tone that seemed to have penetrated deep inside.
In the end, I accepted the prize for the fourth meal.
It was a table setting that gave me extra strength today. It must have been specially prepared for me after returning to work for the first time.
It tasted as good as it was made with sincerity. Even in a very cold stomach, it did not stop and went in just fine.
The rice was so delicious, of course, thanks to Si-eun’s cooking skills.
and… … Thanks to the heart inside.
In this way, my first day of work turned into a day full of happiness.
