The promotional agency for Kiwoo’s movie, , was located on the second floor of an old commercial building.
In a space barely ten pyeong, Eunsu sat in front of a desk, chin resting on top of her clenched fists piled up like a stone tower, lost in thought. Her expression was quite serious.
‘…Should have ordered pork cutlet.’
She had been pondering over lunch options all morning and ended up ordering black bean noodles, slightly regretting her choice.
But it was way too late for regrets; the delivery speed of this Chinese restaurant she always orders from was simply….
“Your food is here!”
The sound of the door opening and the delivery person’s shout were heard simultaneously. Familiar with the office, the delivery person quickly placed the dishes on the central table and said, ‘Enjoy your meal’ before heading back to the door in less than a minute.
“Thank you!”
Eunsu, who had already half-exited, politely thanked the delivery person and sat down.
As soon as she smelled the black bean noodles, any regret about not ordering pork cutlet disappeared. Maybe she should have regretted not ordering extra servings.
Eunsu neatly tore the wooden chopsticks and began mixing the black bean noodles.
It had been just over two weeks since she started the part-time job Kiwoo asked her to do.
The work wasn’t as simple as she had thought.
She had to dust off and organize scripts, synopses, plans, and presentation materials that were all jumbled together, compiling them by project and time period, creating lists, and dividing folders. With almost ten years’ worth of material, the volume was enormous.
At first, she doubted if she could do it all by herself, but now the end was in sight. She felt proud, yet anxious.
‘Should I have taken it slower? Once this is over, I’m really unemployed…’
Her previous job at an interior design magazine was hard-earned after a long period of job hunting post-graduation.
Everything was good except for one crucial problem. Her relationship with her direct supervisor, Team Leader Kye, was terribly bad. Especially towards Eunsu, he seemed bent on breaking her spirit, leading to constant clashes.
Nevertheless, she endured with stubbornness and anger for a year, but a big incident occurred recently.
After refusing an unreasonable task and having a major argument, the office atmosphere turned hostile.
Then, during a team dinner, a drunken Team Leader Kye sat next to Eunsu. Guarded and watching him, he unexpectedly confessed that his particularly prickly behavior was because he liked her.
It was an attack confession, something she had only heard about.
Chills ran down her spine, and she couldn’t help but retort sharply. She couldn’t stand him, boss or not.
There’s a limit to patience.
At that moment, that was all she could think of. A huge fight ensued, ending with her resignation.
‘The more I think about it, the angrier I get. How can someone be so utterly unhelpful in life?’
Concerns about her future in this small industry, possibly fueled by Team Leader Kye’s threats, seemed not entirely bluster. Or perhaps the industry really was that small and rumors had spread, but no matter how many resumes she sent out, she received no callbacks from any magazine.
Feeling suddenly gloomy, Eunsu snapped back to reality. She didn’t plan to sit and mope with black bean noodles right in front of her.
‘Let’s eat first. It’s all for a living, after all.’
Just as Eunsu was about to take a big bite of the glossy noodles, there was a knock, followed by the sound of the door opening.
No one was expected to come.
Startled, Eunsu looked up only to freeze in place.
A man was standing at the door.
Tall, with broad shoulders, he was the epitome of the phrase ‘as big as a door’.
His neatly combed black hair, long eyes with light double eyelids, and a tiny mole on his cheek were all too familiar.
Her ex-boyfriend shows up at this timing…?
Really? Suddenly? Like this?
Unable to swallow or spit out the black bean noodles, Eunsu, frozen in place, watched as the man, Juhan, spoke.
“…I’ll come back in 30 minutes.”
No, wait…!
Before Eunsu could respond, the door closed again.
Belatedly moving, Eunsu hastily put down the bowl and chopsticks and sprang up, but by then, Juhan’s shadow was already disappearing far away.
“Ah…”
Eunsu pressed a hand to her forehead.
Just come in already. Or don’t say you’ll come back in 30 minutes!
I mean, the door is open from 10 am to 6 pm, why! How could it just happen to be open right now!
Embarrassed, Eunsu sat down again, then picked up her chopsticks and bowl.
She aggressively devoured the black bean noodles, swiftly cleared the spot, and furiously brushed her teeth before opening the window to ventilate. Glancing at the clock, 25 minutes had passed.
‘Wait. Just because he said he’d come back doesn’t mean I have to wait, right?’
Why did this thought only come to her now?
Without further thought, Eunsu headed for the entrance. No one would say anything even if she left before closing time.
