＜Episode 45＞ Party 2
Why does a suit called a suit exist?
To be stylish, you have to wear a tie and even a shirt in layers. If it wasn’t for this annoying outfit, the world’s productivity would have doubled.
But what do you do? There are rules in the world that must be followed.
Today is a day to attend a party held by the company. It’s a special form, but it’s where I belong as an employee. You’ll have to dress up and go.
In the end, I took out those clothes I didn’t want to wear after a long time. I put it on once and put it on my closet. I’m sure I’ll get a chance to wear it again.
He leaves the room feeling the tie tightening his neck.
As soon as I entered the living room, Si-eun, who was waiting, tilted her head and looked at me.
For some reason, he blinks his eyes and just stares and doesn’t say anything.
They approached right next to each other, but there was still silence between them. Si-eun just stared blankly at me. It would be nice if you could give me a word of appreciation.
As I was embarrassed, I finally opened my mouth first.
“what’s the matter?”
“Oh, no.”
Si-eun, who came to her senses at my words, continued to speak sparingly.
“The suit is pretty… … I thought it would fit well.”
“I will. Because I bought it for my body.”
“It’s not like that… … .”
Si-eun, who was about to add something, immediately said, “Well, it’s okay.” He closed his mouth with the words.
“The tie is crooked.”
“uh? okay?”

Maybe it is. It was because I had loosened my tie a little because my chest was stuffy when I came out of the room. I had a lot of trouble trying to wear clothes I would never normally wear.Hearing Si-eun’s point, I moved the tie and adjusted its position. However, there was no mirror, so I couldn’t tell if it was a good fit. If you look down with your head down, you can’t tell if it’s straight or not.
Seeing me wrestling with the tie for a while, Si-eun smiled a little.
“Wait a minute.”
“yes?”
“I’ll do it.”
With those words, Si-eun came to me and stretched out her hand.
A sweet scent wafted out. Not the smell of perfume, but the scent of Si-eun. It was a fascinating feeling as if it contained any pheromone, so I turned my head slightly.
Si-eun, who corrected her appearance, walked away again.
I made eye contact and said thank you.
“Um, thank you.”
“What.”
After giving a short answer, Si-eun took a step forward with her back.
“Shall we go?”
“okay.”
After I answered briefly, Si-eun followed.

The party is held in a hotel near the company building.
The company is quite far from our school, so it takes about 45 minutes by car. I love taxis even for short distances, but when I reach this level, I don’t feel like taking a taxi.
Eventually we decided to take the subway.
Even on weekends, there were not many people inside the station or subway.
But among those few, there were glances at us. Are you from my school?
Well, didn’t you even openly declare that you’re dating anyway? no need to hide
Soon we boarded the train and sat side by side in the empty seats.
I was waiting quietly to arrive at my destination, but after a while, Si-eun spoke to me.
“there.”
“why?”
“What are you going to do from tomorrow?”
“How are you doing?”
When asked, Si-eun fiddled with the aegyo point on the corner of her mouth.
“Did you say you were going home during vacation? It’s been a few days since the vacation started, but I just want to stay at home. I was wondering when you would like to go.”
“ah.”
I heard it and it was
Instead of not going home throughout the semester, I stay for a few days during vacation and come back. Well, if you’re a college student, you’ll be home all the time during vacation, but… … .
Anyway, that was it until last semester. I have Si-eun this vacation. For some reason, I felt like I didn’t want to go home, so I just put it off.
Still, it is impossible not to go at all.
When is a good time to go Si-eun opened her mouth again as she was about to be immersed in shallow thoughts.
“While you go home, I will be going home for a while. If you let me know in advance, I will prepare accordingly.”
“Um, that’s right.”
I didn’t think Of course, Si-eun should also go home. Even if I went home, Si-eun meant that I would never have to keep the house alone. You should be comfortable deciding.
“Then I’ll go about the day after tomorrow. About a week.”
“yes. Then I will prepare like that.”
Si-eun, who answered quietly, quietly added a word.
“If I go this time, I’m going to tell you that I have a boyfriend.”
“yes? Haven’t you told me yet?”
“okay. You could talk on the phone, but it would be better to talk about this face to face.”
“is it?”
That might be right. In the first place, it’s difficult to talk about such a serious matter over the phone, isn’t it?
On the other hand, I was not going to say anything at all. That being said, I’m sure you’ll have something to say. I want to minimize the hassle.
Still, would it be better to report the fact that I have a girlfriend? He came to me without telling me, and if there was a woman in my house. It was going to be very upsetting.
“Then I will have to tell you.”
“okay. give me the word By the way, I will also tell you, next time I come, I will come with my boyfriend.”
“Well.”
I made a promise, but it’s still scary. I was worried about whether my mother would recognize me as a man worthy of Si-eun.
“Anyway, I won’t see you for a while.”
As she muttered involuntarily, Si-eun shook the phone she was holding in her hand.
what gesture? When asked with a wink, Si-eun smiled.
“I will call you every night. Be sure to take it.”
“… … I’ll get down on my knees and wait.”
“Well, you don’t have to kneel down.”
Having said that, I narrowed my eyes.
“If you don’t answer the phone, I will be angry. I am waiting for you.”
“Yep. All right.”
I can’t even imagine what would happen if I forgot and missed the call. When I take a shower, I always take my phone with me. So I made up my mind
Eventually, we reached the station where we had to get off.
After looking at the map app and looking for the exit, there was a hotel right in front of me.
It was a very large building.
From the old-fashioned interior atmosphere to the smiling staff waiting for customers. He endured the shrugging of his shoulders in the luxurious atmosphere.
Do you have an event in a hotel like this? How does our company make so much money? Or, the nature of the boss may have chosen a place that looked cool without any deep thought.
After looking around for a while, I’m about to head to the second floor where the party is held.
“Uh, are you here?”
I heard a voice I remember hearing.
When I turned my head towards it, a woman was approaching us with a smile on her face.
Gold earrings, a top that reveals the shoulders, and high heels. A pretty woman waves her hand in a fashion reminiscent of a celebrity.
It was the boss.
“Ah, hello.”
When I scratched the nape of my neck and saluted him, the boss covered his mouth and laughed.
“Oh, boy. Why are you still hiding your face? It’s not like we’ve seen each other once or twice.”
“This is my second time seeing you… … .”
“If a man behaves rudely with small details, it can’t be used.”
Are there any such absurd words?
After a short greeting, the boss’s eyes turned to Si-eun, who was next to him. For a moment, their eyes turned towards each other, and soon Si-eun nodded her head.
“hello. My name is Yoo Si-eun. Please.”
Si-eun greets you with a refreshing smile.
It was nothing compared to how he looked at home, and he felt more respectful and formal than at school.
“okay. hi.”
The boss greeted me with a smile as well.
Then the boss’s gaze turned to me again.
“therefore? Who is this child?”
“There, that… … .”
I’m embarrassed to introduce myself. There is no lie or exaggeration in the word ‘girlfriend’. It was difficult to get it out of my mouth.
Si-eun, who watched me hesitate, smiled bitterly and opened her mouth instead.
“It’s my girlfriend.”
“Oh, girlfriend?”
The boss opened his mouth and looked at me as if surprised by that.
“Is that great?”
He said and slapped me on the back several times. I’m sick, sir… … .
“What did you do to seduce such a true girl?”
“Your word choice is too old.”
“I can’t help it because I’m older than you. The original old one is great. It means mature and mature.”
“Yes… … .”
This was especially the case with the use of the word “chan”.
“right?”
When he shrugs his shoulders and speaks confidently, he feels like asking what is old-fashioned. Well, thanks to that, how I met Si-eun naturally passed. That’s fortunate.
Si-eun, who was watching our comics, smiled and opened her mouth.
“there. How old is your boss? … Are you here?”
“yes? me?”
“yes.”
Seeing Si-eun nodding her head, the boss raised an eyebrow.
“How old do you look?”
When the boss threw the bait with a mischievous face, Si-eun gave a slightly bewildered face.
“I, that’s it. About thirty one… … ?”
“Ahaha. Thirty one?”
He slaps my back and chuckles. Because it hurts… … .
Anyway, it felt good to say that he looked younger. Didn’t I say that old-fashioned is good? I guess it was all lies.
The boss shows this and smiles.
“It’s true. If I had married a little earlier, would there have been kids like you?”
“yes? really?”
“no. It is a lie. You will soon be forty.”
“Don’t reveal other people’s age.”
I was hit in the back again. I’m about to shiver now.
But, it’s true that you don’t look like you’re forty. I also saw him in his early 30s at first. To be honest, the fact that Si-eun said she was 31 years old wasn’t flattering, it must have been because she really looked like that.
Then the boss pointed to the stairs.
“Come on, let’s go up. It’s time for company introduction. When it’s over, it’s a boring seminar, so I guess I’ll just be on my cell phone. Then you can eat and go.”
“But, can’t the boss say that?”
“it’s okay. After all, all of these parties are assorted.”
The boss smiled and continued.
“I just called it to create a network between our customers. Seriously, no one came here to learn anything?”
“is that so.”
“yes. So you too, as a developer, talk to people.”
“no. I’ll just be stuck in the corner.”
It’s awkward to talk like this with the boss right now. It’s better because it’s the person I usually talk to via email, but it’s not enough to talk comfortably with people I’ve just met for the first time.
But at my words, the boss suddenly spit out strange words.
“Well, that might be better.”

Maybe that’s better?I was skeptical and asked right away.
“What does it mean?”
“Ah, that’s it.”
The boss hardened his expression for a moment, then silenced his voice and answered.
“There are quite a few people with a lot of money who have a strong ego. People with that kind of pride often act a little bit as if they are the center of the world.”
“is that so?”
When Si-eun asked, the boss nodded.
“okay. You’d be better off ignoring someone like that and not getting involved.”
The boss, who gave a kind of warning in a serious tone, waved his hand out of nowhere.
“No, what. It’s a joke, but that’s it.”
“Ugh.”
“Anyway, let’s go. I have to introduce the company. If you’re late, you’re in trouble.”
“It would be. Because you are the boss.”
After saying this, we went to the party place.
