Nailing the Assignment — Chapter 19

HAA...

WAS IT THAT OBVIOUS THAT I WAS AVOIDING HER?

ON HIS WAY BACK FROM A BUSINESS TRIP

I HAVE TO KEEP SEEING HER...

IT WAS REALLY SCARY BACK IN THE ELEVATOR...

THE SCENT OF STALE SWEAT AND CIGARETTES FILLED THE AIR...

...THEN ONE WHIFF OF HER SWEET SCENT...

...MIXED WITH HER BREATH ON MY BODY...

...ALMOST GAVE ME A BONER RIGHT THERE AND THEN.

FUCKING HELL...

I KNOW WE WERE CLOSE...BUT HOW COULD I POP A BONER ON THE ELEVATOR TO MY OFFICE?

I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT STARTED...

...BUT I CAN'T SEEM TO CONTROL MYSELF THESE DAYS.

I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO AVOID HEE-SEO AT WORK FOR THE TIME BEING...

I THOUGHT...

...KEEPING MY DISTANCE WITH HER WOULD BE MORE THAN ENOUGH...

GOOD MORNING!

SHE MUST'VE JUST ARRIVED.

WHAT?!

YOU CAN SEE HER ENTIRE... SHOULDER!

WOW, MS. CHA! YOU LOOK GREAT TODAY!

THANK YOU! I THOUGHT I'D CHANGE IT UP A BIT.

YOU LOOK MORE LIVELY TOO!

I TRIED A NEW MASK PACK LAST NIGHT!

AM I BEING TOO PARANOID?

I SHOULD JUST IGNORE HER.

SHE CAN WEAR WHATEVER SHE WANTS...

KEEP YOUR EYES TO YOURSELVES, ASSHOLES!!

HOW CAN I JUST IGNORE THIS?!

ON TOP OF THAT...

WE ONLY HAVE FOUR DAYS LEFT UNTIL THE END OF THE PROJECT...

SHOULD WE TAKE A SHORT BREAK?

YES...

I NEED TO SMOKE...

I NEED COFFEE...

ISN'T THAT SHIRT A LITTLE TOO REVEALING?

WHAT?

WATCH YOUR TONE, YEAH? BESIDES...

YOUR BUTTONS ARE ABOUT TO POP.

WHAT ABOUT MY TONE? WHY ARE YOU SO ON EDGE?

IT'S NOT LIKE I HAVE ANY PARTICULAR REASON TO BE IN A GOOD MOOD.

YOU WERE AVOIDING ME ALL DAY YESTERDAY.

DON'T YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL ME?

WELL... I WASN'T TRYING TO AVOID YOU ON PURPOSE...

NOT THAT.

YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO TELL ME?

DON'T TELL ME...

...SHE DRESSED UP JUST FOR ME!

YOU LOOK VERY-

OOPS! FORGOT MY...

...LIGHTER...

HUH?

BIT HIS TONGUE.

JUST AS I WAS ABOUT TO JUDGE...

...WHAT THE CHANGE IN HER ATTITUDE TOWARDS ME MEANT...

...THAT INCIDENT HAPPENED.

THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY.

MY BODY FEELS TOO HEAVY...

IS IT BECAUSE I'M MORE PHYSICALLY STRAINED LATELY?

THE WAVES ARE BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. I THOUGHT I'D BE FINE UNTIL THE PROJECT WAS OVER.

I THOUGHT I'D BE FINE UNTIL THE PROJECT WAS OVER,

TAE-SU, I NEED YOU TO PICK UP...

...NOW...

EVERYONE'S OUT ON BUSINESS... THIS WHOLE FLOOR IS EMPTY.

THIS IS THE PERFECT TIME FOR ME TO PRACTICE MY PRESENTATION SKILLS...

HEE-SEO...

HAS BEEN AWFULLY FRIENDLY WITH ME LATELY.

ESPECIALLY WITH WHAT SHE SAID BACK IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM...

WOAH! HEE-SEO?!

WHEN DID YOU GET HERE?

YOU... HAA...

WHY...WOULDN'T YOU PICK UP YOUR PHONE...?

OH, I MUST'VE LEFT IT ON MY DESK...

I-I NEED YANG ENERGY...

HELP ME...

...PLEASE?

DID YOU JUST HEAR THE DOOR OPEN TOO?

I NEED MORE...

IT'S LIKE I'M STUCK IN A DESERT...

...AND ALL I HAD WAS A SIP OF WATER.

NO...

I'M GONNA PASS OUT...

HUH? ISN'T THAT...

TEAM LEAD KIM FROM SALES TEAM?

WHAT IS HE DOING HERE...?

AWW... HONEY!

YEP! SHOULD WE MEET IN THAT HOTEL AGAIN?

FUCK...

DOESN'T HE HAVE A WIFE AND CHILDREN?

CHA HEE-SEO?!
