“I’m not resigning.”70f64d25b131ecde

On Monday morning, 229b818984 Hangyeol followed Seonwoo, 2698778a58 who had just ab3ef2eb9d arrived at work, f41a436463 into his office af7fcdd37c and declared. Seonwoo, who was hanging af588411d8 his jacket on the 7cdcd11a0e hanger, glanced at Hangyeol 7643ec2032 and sat down.6760a2d4c77d3f18

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.28802e4326e7f0d9

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.6345b04a82a4130c

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.f3c713df8af9ebc8

“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.d9981a6b2a7862a8

Hangyeol, his face 6648cea76f relaxed, fed the 9cd21305cd resignation letter into 50b4973324 the shredder. As long as Seonwoo 9e690284be was at the company, e6ae57b272 there would be no b5457b71e4 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.b6adac81ccc27511

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.90d16981531bfd68

Hangyeol replied that 2c732d166a he would talk b61fcf2ada to his team 64c6fe3071 members and returned 816e548664 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.

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.8c91edfaba7ec3c6

Under the warm spring d566871920 sunshine after lunch, the 96ec2f774e afternoon schedule began.

Inside the field, 2c36d9490e Minho, wearing a 8156859bd0 red vest, was cbb2e258ab warming up with 7522de9037 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.71611a7fc0813fa0

‘Why is Team Leader e665c903bd Seonwoo so perfect that 3f65961f5f it makes me suffer?’1d91d7aab4ae1fcd

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.387983d5ad6b4d8c

As soon 7b6b9d38c1 as the ac5814a70c game started, fba75a579d Seonwoo snatched 280c16b271 the ball 0cc0e5d3be and dribbled b6c157075b quickly across b7a27fa025 the court. The opposing defenders, flustered 4149504034 by the sudden attack, e93ddbfdf7 could only watch as 13ca7bb743 the ball went through 256604e0a3 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.d9493c55b55529d8

Hangyeol blinked slowly, watching 66e94d7425 Seonwoo wipe his sweat 496e79b880 with his t-shirt, head de88c506ff bowed. He stared blankly c5d35ea946 as Seonwoo returned 5490201256 to the stands, 509cbde1dd then came to 7437d7b3dc his senses and b7e055a9a9 offered a water 2870f19758 bottle.d1a80ce9070d4ded

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.4d16db1a20d04ba2
