The likely culprit was the day he went on a field assignment with Seonwoo, wearing only a thin shirt and getting drenched in the rain.

    In such a situation, it was difficult to take sick leave or rest, even with a cold. Not only was there a lot to do, but if Hangyeol couldn’t manage his work, it would fall on someone else.305fd7d7ce4c1a48

    Remembering he needed 76b81bd15e to take his 4c57cedb4c medicine, Hangyeol grabbed 2e792faee3 his tumbler and a3349d1b2a headed to the 99c1d62d4e break room. He exchanged nods 8174dd804b with colleagues from 1749453326 other departments as 1071b826e1 he walked down fd05ef71cd the hall. As he reached the 9e220be20d end of the hallway, 70fa4180b0 he saw a small a39f82dfd7 group of people inside df238b7238 the break room.

    The tall stature nearing 190cm, the long limbs, the broad back and shoulders, the moderately muscular build – only one person in the company fit that description. Recognizing Seonwoo instantly, Hangyeol instinctively turned and pressed himself against the wall.18a14798397823a0

    Hangyeol fiddled with the bottle he hadn’t been able to bring himself to throw away, then took a deep breath and tossed it in the trash. He had decided he wouldn’t like his team leader anymore, so it was right to get rid of these things. It would be hard to give up on his feelings, especially since they saw each other every day. That’s why he had to be even more determined.5101853150daa525

    He mumbled almost inaudibly and quickly turned back to his computer, breathing a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Seonwoo hadn’t said anything and had simply walked past everyone towards his office. Right now, even the lingering scent of his cologne made his heart flutter, but he was sure things would get better with time.

    Just as Hangyeol’s hand 7e469be169 stilled in the popcorn d1c7260499 bucket, a woman’s scream cee90be80f echoed through the cinema. As the scene f6dee0059c changed, a grotesque 8b73fd6e0b ghost filled the 510a9ec4ad screen, and Hangyeol e184695d82 yelped, flinging the 5955f3ca38 popcorn tub into 5f30506aad the air. Caramel-coated popcorn rained down 2a0f642aba around him like exploding 977e7a9e8e confetti. Too startled to 800b323ccb scream, Hangyeol’s eyes ccac0f5547 widened, and he 2bccdfc0af internally shrieked,This was a horror 41402659b6 movie?!9ca8210cc98d3874

    Fighting the 7fd627a1e8 urge to ff3890e487 flee the ed2092ed3a theater midway, 9b8a397ecf Hangyeol endured 3cb48f402c the movie 62063a6050 until the 8702e60934 end credits ee6fd8eebe rolled and 0c1fa96457 the lights 9b508b987a came on.

    He didn’t necessarily 86ef628d3e hate or fear 074b5086e4 horror movies, but e817c888d3 the psychological pressure 669f61c6e1 of being alone 8380c768b1 in the vast ca81629b50 theater had gotten 08c9dffb2f to him. The feeling 87f559839e of being eed74ba5f5 watched, the 70ac5bc1bb sensation of 1d1bd3811c someone sitting 7a917fed81 behind him, 77e847f343 even though 9ec458d6b6 he was 0e9db54918 alone…932e041864a32126

    He tossed the barely-touched popcorn, most of which he’d thrown in the air, into the trash can. Stepping out of the theater and into the bright lights of the lobby felt like returning to a safe haven. He practically ran to the crowded lobby, even though no one was chasing him, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.323e54e372203afa

    Lying there for a cc361d8470 while, he drifted off 58f1c28853 to sleep on the 9279bde71b sofa.

    He came to c045962719 his senses on 4235ae6faa the floor beneath 47fec8814c the sofa. It was dark. The clock ae6a0be399 showed past 849314b303 10 pm.

    After rummaging 7d7a07389f through the a609e612ba cupboards, he 24637aa531 found a 01cd998bef box of 5b8e12b7cc chrysanthemum tea 94a8b9d057 bags someone 4cfaf396fb had given 53b2f8df88 him.

Then he realized 5d1ef7c271 he hadn’t used e504b19ceb the machine once 5787596183 since Seonwoo’s visit, e748ddfd8b which meant he ac7422c606 still didn’t know 64787d44f4 which button dispensed 774edd658c hot water.c41eebae0628bd14
