"Yes, maโam. Hello." Myeongeun's mother bowed deeply toward the grandmother. The grandmother slowly got up and approached Myeongeun and her mother. She kneeled down with an "oof" and sat to meet Myeongeunโs gaze. Instinctively, Myeongeun grabbed her motherโs thigh and hid behind her. The grandmother had a warm smile, but there was an undeniable aura around her that made Myeongeun feel tense. "Myeongeun, come and say hello," her mother encouraged, gently guiding Myeongeun forward. "So, you'reโฆ-

Twenty-nine, or to put it another way, the cursed age. It was the first Tuesday of December, and the dreaded age loomed just around the corner. "The Section Chief says we should all gather in the conference room because the Department Head is coming in." Ten minutes after Assistant Manager Lee sent this message through the company messenger, six employees from the General Affairs Office gathered in the conference room. Ten more minutes passed, and the Department Head entered with an extremely tallโฆ

Even when you tell the truth, the frustration and despair when the other person doesnโt believe you is something Myeongeun understood well. However, using someoneโs disbelief as an excuse for violence was foolish, so he didnโt want to blindly defend Kwon Jinhwan. Myeongeun simply glanced up at Jinhwan. โโฆโฆAlright. Next.โ He quickly looked down and moved on to the next item. Though he didnโt want to defend Jinhwan, he also didnโt enjoy seeing him smile in that bitter,โฆ

โWell, at least mentoring counts towards your performance evaluation score, so try to manage it without too much stress. Thatโs the hardest part, though.โ Manager Lee wasnโt the warmest person, but he was one to offer support when he felt his colleagues needed it. โManager.โ After a brief pause, Myeongeun asked, โHave you heard anything about Kwon Jinhwan?โ โHeard anything?โ โYes. I was wondering if you heard anything about him joining the office today.โ Managerโฆ

โI did mention this earlier, didnโt I?โ The Manager looked at Kwon Jinhwan with a gentle smile. โAssistant Manager Go here will be in charge of your training, Jinhwan-ssi.โ Jinhwan stared at Myeongeun before giving a slightly delayed, โYes.โ โIโm Go Myeongeun.โ Myeongeun forced a smile in his direction, but there was no response. โAlright, Assistant Manager Go.โ The Manager pushed a clipboard across the table toward Myeongeun. There was a note attached toโฆ

โUh, Deputy Head Managerโฆโ โOf course, Myeongeun-ssi will receive a special allowance.โ โNo, thatโs not what I wanted to discussโฆ.โ Myeongeun trailed off, hesitating with his words. Honestly, he was a bit tempted. The rent might be going up soonโฆ Sensing Myeongeunโs reluctance, Kwon Jinhyeon tried appealing to his empathy this time. โI think if thereโs anyone who can truly understand Hwan at this point, itโs you, Myeongeun-ssi.โ โโฆBecause of my pastโฆ

Jinhyeon paused for a moment before asking Myeongeun, โWhy do you think Iโm being so open about my family matters with you, Myeongeun-ssi?โ From the moment Jinhyeon called him until now, Myeongeun had suspected the reason. He was being silenced. What happened yesterday couldnโt be explained logically or scientifically. Jinhyeon knew that too. Seeing Myeongeunโs response to the events, Jinhyeon probably judged that it was better to be frank, as Myeongeun seemed to have some understanding ofโฆ

โ โI understand. If youโre free right now, can we meet for a moment at the cafeteria on the 10th floor?โ Coincidentally, Myeongeun needed to check on the cafeteria today since heโd sent an email to all employees yesterday about cafeteria guidelines. โSure, Iโll head down right away.โ He hung up the phone and told Kim Junyoung, โIโll go down to the cafeteria and check things.โ Kim Junyoung looked pleased, as if heโd scored an unexpected bonus, and replied with a quick,โฆ

It felt like a whole yearโs worth of work had crammed into a single day, starting from the morning. Myeongeun was exhausted. He thought heโd fall asleep the moment he got in the taxi, but on the way home, he just leaned back against the seat, staring blankly out the window. When he got home, the hot water that had been acting up in the morning was working just fine. He figured a warm shower would make him sleepy, but even after warming up and lying on his cozy bed, sleep didnโt come. Myeongeunโฆ

When Go Myeongeun looked at him with a questioning gaze, Kwon Jinhwan spoke up. โItโs funny that you call San Ho โMr.โ like that. Heโs still young.โ As Myeongeun was fitting a key into the padlock on the metal gate of the warehouse, he shot a glance at Jinhwan. โYoung?โ โYeah, really young. His appetite is huge, and if youโre not careful, heโll try to eat just about anything. Heโs still young and lacks self-control in many ways.โ Apparently, Jinhwan had to tell himโฆ
