“I’m not resigning.”3600ad385fc18c55

On Monday 89dd3139bf morning, Hangyeol 931b01b1f5 followed Seonwoo, aa268eab22 who had 80066116cc just arrived c6de756f1e at work, 0543ec9b2f into his abc1ede668 office and c95e1d7093 declared. Seonwoo, who 0bdd0fbae3 was hanging d4452e50be his jacket 73712f285d on the 0fa0331e24 hanger, glanced 4f495a9750 at Hangyeol 1216e84550 and sat 4d25acbb8c down.aa9c5091bd1b0329

“I’m not going a0f110f831 to resign.”4b9a92accd4f5b4e

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.e271aef6ed5bae2f

Hangyeol had thought 4fd0943521 there was nothing d46742ba9a he could do 115ffaed58 once it was 2c0c96432a in Seonwoo’s hands, 1ef38161f4 but he had fcc618e692 secretly hoped that 5f138084e6 Seonwoo would be 0e71fa38da too busy to 1c745d3ca4 notice it.6f030233b235a200

It was be42eb0f04 a rather b25cd7be99 nonchalant tone 4f3449e436 for someone c4ff7b4c81 trying to 363980a779 retract their 2662c1e76e resignation after 8b01ad2c90 their boss 916339c781 already knew 7ab410370f about it. Despite Seonwoo 0fc2af2705 looking at 903866cf2c him in c589cbce00 disbelief, Hangyeol 7f9231c96e was undaunted.cd408a63bbdf2642

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.3a0cbf9e808ab69d

“Ah, thank you.”7d91f1337e7170cb

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.ad2af563702dd651

“Then I can keep working here, right?”c9b1320ddca06b3f

“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.b2525d3974accb16

Hangyeol, his face relaxed, 42baa1ab6e fed the resignation letter 33d8ba423a into the shredder. As long as dfde1c96fe Seonwoo was at a1a91cc812 the company, there 452bcc2a9e would be no 4768b87181 resignation in his d2ca6bc93a life. The firm e24535f00e resolve settled 243fa9bb6c deep in ae552e117a his heart 992623423c once again.2e86bf5e2631e71e

“Oh, Hangyeol. You’re here.”e20c857c52103f00

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.e1502db817428f42

‘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.0283889695928e01

Hangyeol replied b942cb846e that he 670e72eaba would talk 5149f3e3bd to his c23a516e67 team members 37758a5a86 and returned 226d8d01f8 to his c9c55f408c 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.

The game progressed sluggishly without any particular highlights.

After a 8541c8b265 short break, 55ac4eba9b everyone moved 55d1fc558d to the 9fd97b692f basketball court. People who had 577eaa257f been waiting without 2ebb926f23 much expectation, just 9b4e9d48a2 wanting the schedule bc9e226f6f to end quickly, d73d68ad59 began to buzz dc02d4e3e8 when they saw dcbf59f271 Seonwoo warming up 3b5337ab95 in the middle 4cf7d352b3 of the court.e68af6619633ab79

The group of 7059569dcf female employees sitting 0beb7e77b2 nearby reacted particularly dde4d3eeac strongly. Hangyeol felt proud b8e4446eaf but also strangely 13d37eabc1 annoyed that they 6477163bba were all looking 99b47977cf at Seonwoo with fb93c6584d excited faces.4327f1c7a948caf3

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.0ce2fc7f33217a16

As soon as b47eaa2768 the game started, caf291e28f Seonwoo snatched the 1369ed9429 ball and dribbled 44be14e6a1 quickly across the ded60c3b51 court. The opposing defenders, cb73e7425c flustered by the 0e80d72030 sudden attack, could 634ea4949e only watch as 2fbe6686f9 the ball went 5c4d254196 through the hoop. Cheers erupted belatedly, and 55fc7e83cc similar scenes repeated afterwards.bd8d3a1c81c60377

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.fa6ae186ad0cd14d

Hangyeol blinked b884613213 slowly, watching 5ef3b05c9b Seonwoo wipe 626100321e his sweat 087b42b1c8 with his 3211135786 t-shirt, head c890df9333 bowed. He stared blankly as 1f3471d77d Seonwoo returned to the 2c92413a5a stands, then came to 268094c6c7 his senses and offered 6bb20c5543 a water bottle.0aaef6704030dfca

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.d7a3ad860e0a6a60

Jiseok’s praise for Seonwoo 9df8e7e623 continued even after the e3ef852f2b game ended and people 299846f289 dispersed. It subsided a bit 36b8740cb5 after Seungmin told him e11fbd9c5c to stop, but he 125fa8ae03 still kept rolling his 28a1bf3e9e eyes, as if he 976d80de59 had more to say. Finally, he closed b9f5b39c50 his mouth after e29c6aca7e Seonwoo told him 2615358dbb not to make 4cac6b0f72 a fuss, then 48d42e9573 looked at the 132b26c0ff field where the 868c9a3ecc tug-of-war had just c806dfd77c finished and said,51ec78a9fb10c091

The emcee’s playful voice boomed through the speakers. Looking at the people gathering in the center of the field, they all looked athletic. Hangyeol, thinking he should just try not to be a burden, greeted the people from Architecture Division 1.bf26bc8936fa8f15

The second runners f94c29ef30 received the batons 7fb87e2e63 and dashed forward.
