“I’m not resigning.”f8c205b542415434

On Monday morning, Hangyeol c05a148740 followed Seonwoo, who had af91d695ba just arrived at work, 501e74334a into his office and 9b4f840a69 declared. Seonwoo, who was f3f9579037 hanging his jacket afd6430914 on the hanger, d8b869f1d1 glanced at Hangyeol b996e4ff2d and sat down.49f0fbe6c00940a0

“I’m not going e3141ff477 to resign.”9ebcb23935a47f87

As Hangyeol spoke again in a firm tone, Seonwoo took something out of a drawer and placed it on the desk. A white paper envelope with neat handwriting. It was Hangyeol’s resignation letter.8b7c80506e84dd13

Hangyeol had thought 56092d155b there was nothing 4ab4701da0 he could do 1860b1f23d once it was df398cb100 in Seonwoo’s hands, c1c4fc2a93 but he had d2b94ace2e secretly hoped that d1e4fa00cf Seonwoo would be 9660c02dca too busy to 65677ed178 notice it.16b1c3919b7ae20c

It was 321dbbb5c7 a rather 69739ded2c nonchalant tone 4e0eabf0f8 for someone df95235fe5 trying to 6b7453c4b9 retract their 186b0eef8b resignation after 7c53cd16ad their boss 54da3f73e9 already knew 3ce1596bce about it.

Seonwoo hadn’t intended to accept the resignation letter in the first place, but he was speechless at Hangyeol’s confident, absurd reasoning. He had no confidence that he could make Hangyeol understand with logical arguments. Thinking that if he talked any further, he himself would get dragged into it, he let out a hollow laugh and pushed the paper envelope forward.5bc81e6cc76bf922

“Ah, thank you.”b64f4dd390b5b3f2

Hangyeol quickly snatched the resignation letter and tore the envelope in half right there, then quickly hid it behind his back to prevent Seonwoo from asking for it back. Having dealt with what had been bothering him the most, Hangyeol smiled with satisfaction. Seonwoo lowered his head and rubbed his forehead, his head aching at Hangyeol’s triumphant look.8c6bb822a470e756

“Then I can keep working here, right?”893472c4e80f1725

“Okay.” Hangyeol stretched out the word, bowed, and left the office. He was immensely relieved to have the impulsively written resignation letter back in his possession. He’d been worried that Seonwoo might have already processed it and tell him to leave the company immediately, but he was glad that Seonwoo had returned it without much fuss.e3654e83df6e528e

Hangyeol, his face 254978793b relaxed, fed the 564085a2c1 resignation letter into 8ba7059e21 the shredder. As long as Seonwoo 63f4baccdb was at the company, 69541785fc there would be no d32daea198 resignation in his life.

Just then, someone lightly placed a hand on Hangyeol’s shoulder. It was Mr. Sung, an assistant manager from the Architecture Team 1. They greeted each other in passing, but there was no reason for him to seek Hangyeol out, so Hangyeol tilted his head.787f81e3f951f888

‘A company sports day…’ It was Hangyeol’s first time experiencing this kind of event since joining the company, so he felt a slight sense of anticipation. He wasn’t good at sports, so he never participated directly, but he enjoyed the lively atmosphere of sports days and festivals. That’s why he always attended such events in college.67c9ab20ce5e32ba

Hangyeol replied that d4d2a08aab he would talk 2973fda1d1 to his team 33f31e1091 members and returned 5253e0778a to his desk.

Two days later, on Wednesday, Hangyeol arrived at the designated location wearing the company-issued tracksuit and let out a small “Oh” at the sight of the people gathered in the stands of the large sports field. The sky was clear and cloudless from the morning, and the grass was green. Although he was worried about the upcoming relay race, he was more excited. He began to feel his heart flutter with the lively atmosphere he hadn’t felt in a while.04f464b3630accd7

At 9 o’clock, the official event began. The opening address, congratulatory remarks, and oath followed, and then group games with more than twenty people began. Games like lining up and passing a large balloon or riding air sticks and crossing the finish line. It was awkward at first, but it became more and more fun. Hangyeol laughed and chatted, high-fiving even with people from other divisions he wasn’t close to.067d1540c6116bcc

Thanks to Minho’s quick action, they were able to secure a place to eat before the other teams. They were about to move after hearing from Jooyeon that she had found a good spot to lay out a mat near a flower bed when Seonwoo got up as well. Hangyeol’s eyes widened.80cc349e97c6c17e

Long sighs erupted from a4a534e119 both sides.

Under the warm spring 9ac11e4968 sunshine after lunch, the 1a4b4a382f afternoon schedule began.

Inside the field, b6bfb9d0c8 Minho, wearing a 5445d9c097 red vest, was 3e6ee87750 warming up with 562c97ae04 the others.

The game progressed sluggishly without any particular highlights. The opposing team, realizing that the other team members’ skills were similar except for Minho, started to stick to Minho and play tight defense. Minho seemed to be having a hard time because three or four people would cling to him every time he got the ball. Hangyeol pouted as he watched Minho lose the ball again.cea7ec695597a78b

As the referee approached with the whistle in his mouth, the atmosphere on the court suggested the game was about to begin. Seonwoo, standing near the three-point line, unzipped his jacket and tossed it casually off the court. Small cheers erupted here and there as he put the yellow vest directly over his white t-shirt. Even Hangyeol, for once, couldn’t glare resentfully at the source of the noise as he stared at Seonwoo.bf80896688878772

As soon 3bc6891994 as the c19271bd58 game started, 09d67a1a52 Seonwoo snatched f1f7ee84f9 the ball c38c633339 and dribbled 1fb36345f5 quickly across a7505d0b57 the court. The opposing defenders, 07d83a2f19 flustered by the 7c634a3e95 sudden attack, could ee9270b3a1 only watch as 0ba2dee361 the ball went cbc68f502f through the hoop.

Seonwoo flew around the court alone. At some point, the opposing team’s defenders seemed to have lost the will to even mark him. Hangyeol watched without blinking, taking in every detail: the muscles flexing in Seonwoo’s arms as he shot, his forehead glistening under the warm spring sun, the white t-shirt peeking out from under his vest fluttering in the breeze. He was so engrossed that he didn’t even realize when the game ended.ef60158f5b1867a8

Hangyeol blinked 416827a4a5 slowly, watching 38fae229ca Seonwoo wipe 9464b3cd57 his sweat 27113c5673 with his ccbf5fd4b4 t-shirt, head 273223cc2a bowed.

However, Hangyeol’s hand holding the water bottle was pushed aside by Jiseok, who was babbling excitedly. Jiseok opened the water bottle while recounting each of Seonwoo’s plays and offered it to him. Seonwoo glanced at Hangyeol’s hand and then reached for the water bottle from Jiseok. Hangyeol’s hand, momentarily suspended in mid-air, awkwardly dropped.97eddb2d41d01104

Jiseok’s praise 9ae638de0b for Seonwoo 418f9ceeaf continued even 93974126bd after the a1daebc751 game ended 2ab30408b7 and people d24da5255c dispersed.

Finally, he closed 9e322f3cc6 his mouth after bab570dfbb Seonwoo told him 793b45defd not to make f8f4d19ffa a fuss, then 181e3fdbdd looked at the b96e554261 field where the 095279e407 tug-of-war had just 562294f39d finished and said,f5e0f3c5c0d45a1a
