When I quit my job, my co-workers became obsessed with me - When I quit my job, my co-workers became obsessed with me chapter 22

The sunlight that was sticking to the skin and burning it suddenly disappeared. When I looked up, there was a huge building in the spot where the sun had been a while ago.

The shadow that covered the body and stretched out for a long time to cover the building on the other side was cold enough to be bittersweet.

“Big.”

Midsummer, who was looking around, swallowed his saliva.

“What are you shaking so much for? We are not guilty.”

“No, strictly speaking… … .”

Midsummer, who was about to say something, quickly blurs the tip of her words and twists her hair.

“why?”

“No, what… … . I don’t want you to be nervous.”

“I would be lying if I said no at all.”

Because today’s conversation will determine the future direction. Hearing my answer, Midsummer’s expression darkened.

“But I’m pretty sure what to do.”

“… … really?”

Midsummer looks at me with anxious eyes. Perhaps he was thinking about whether he was forced to come because of him.

I opened my mouth as I looked into the midsummer’s eyes.

“Like I said yesterday, I’m not going to run away anymore.”

After Oh Min-seo left yesterday, I told Han Yeo-reum everything. Everything about what situation I was in and what I wanted to do.

“So I would have done this without you.”

Midsummer quietly nodded his head instead of answering. His expression was still stiff, but he seemed convinced.

It was the moment when we finished the conversation and entered the apartment entrance through the flower bed full of bright yellow flowers.

“Yoo Do-jin, Han Yeo-reum, I was waiting for you.”

When I turned my head to the side where the sound was coming from, a man in a suit was looking at me and smiling.

A tall figure of about 180, broad shoulders, a soft-looking face seen through glasses, and a neat hairstyle with a parting catch my eyes.

“Hello, I am the head of the Beyond System Security Team, Oh Cheong-myung, and I am currently in charge of the execution under the young lady.”

When it comes to performing duties, is it like a bodyguard? I’ve known Minseo Oh for many years, but I’ve never heard of or met with a bodyguard like this.

As he was arranging his thoughts, Oh Cheong-myung nodded toward this side and bowed his back.

“If it’s not rude, would it be okay if I guided you to the lady’s place?”

“Oh, it’s fine. After all, I can’t go in by myself. Keep your head up.”

“Thank you, then follow me.”

Only the sound of footsteps echoes in the quiet lobby. Not long after, we took the elevator to the top floor and followed Oh Cheong-myeong.

He rang the doorbell next to the door and opened his mouth.

“Girl, I’m here with my companions.”

“Ugh, come in, come in… … .”

When permission was granted, Oh Cheong-myung took out a small card key from his chest, unlocked the door lock, and opened the door.

“You can come in.”

As soon as I entered the front door, I frowned. It was because the light from the white marble on the floor pierced his eyes.

Yes, this was the place. From the floor to the walls, ceiling, and furniture, everything in this house had a pure white light.

A house that is not tainted with human colors and seems to disappear like a cloud at some point when you close your eyes. The house where Oh Min-seo lived was such a place.

“Come on, come on… … I was waiting… … .”

Min-seo Oh, who was sitting at the table, waved at me as if pleased. The palms fluttering in the air looked more like dolls than people.

Following Oh Cheong-myeong’s guidance, we sat across from Min-seo Oh.

“brother… please… … .”

“Yes, I understand.”

As soon as Min-seo Oh finished speaking, Cheong-myung Oh came out of the kitchen with pots and bowls of food. It seems too difficult to carry them with just two trays.

“We are here to help.”

“Ah, me too… … .”

“it’s okay. ‘Cause this is the end And if I ask a customer like that, I get scolded by her.”

Oh Cheong-myung smiled at me and Midsummer, took the food from the tray and set it on the table.

“Well… … . I am a person who is told to use it at times like this… … . Is not it… … ?”

Oh Min-seo patted Oh Cheong-myung on the back and said. You could have thought it was a prank played by close friends, but somehow it seemed to me that Min-seo Oh was making fun of the situation of Cheong-myeong Oh.

“It is a wise word.”

Cheongmyung Oh’s eyes twinkled and he bowed his head toward Minseo Oh. His voice was a little warmer than before.

“Then I didn’t prepare anything, but I ate it deliciously… … . Oh, would you like to eat some too… … ? Oh, but if you’re going to eat it, you have to buy wooden chopsticks… … ?”

“I am okay.”

“If you don’t like it… … . Because I said… … .”

Oh Min-seo picked up the chopsticks for the last time. I turned my head to scan the food on the table. From kimchi stew to bulgogi and grilled fish. All of them are my favourites.

No, it would be correct to say that it is filled with only those things.

“Why don’t you eat… … . I have no appetite… … ?”

Oh Min-seo’s gloomy eyes are looking at me.

“No, not like that.”

“Eat, then.”

Minseo Oh, with her eyes narrowed, taps the bowl with chopsticks as if urging her. She smiled as if she was satisfied when I picked up the bulgogi with chopsticks.

“Right… … . It seems like I’m only eating unhealthy foods these days, so I paid attention… What was it, who made this… … .”

“I am the chef in charge of Korean food at Beyond Hotel.”

“Oh right, right… … . It did… … .”

“If you don’t like it or there is something lacking in cooking, we will immediately fire the chef who made the food and completely reorganize the kitchen.”

“Keck.”

It spewed out the food that midsummer ate. The coughing stopped soon after, but the faint sound of his breathing showed how startled he was.

“Oh, my brother… … . If you say that, customers will feel comfortable eating… … ?”

Oh Min-seo looked at Oh Cheong-myung and said. The voice itself had a rather mellow appearance, but there was a slight edge to it.

“sorry.”

“I’m not doing anything right… … . Go away, I’m annoyed… … .”

“Yes, call me when you need me.”

Min-seo Oh, who threw away Cheong-myeong Oh by waving her palms, rubbed her temples and twisted her hair.

“ah… … . Sorry, drink water… … .”

“Yes, yes.”

Only the jingle echoes over the table, where the conversation has disappeared.

To break the silence, I decided to ask a question that has been bothering me since I came here.

“Hey.”

“yes… … ?”

“Since when have you been with the bodyguard?”

“Since when, since yesterday… … . Oh right, right… … . If it wasn’t for Dojin, I almost forgot… … .”

Min-seo Oh put down her chopsticks and patted my chest with her right fist and twisted her mouth.

“Now do you understand?”

As I stood still with a bewildered expression, Min-seo Oh crossed her arms and pursed her lips.

“I already forgot… … ? Yesterday, I said that I would guarantee that girl’s identity, so Dojin said, ‘How can you do that?’ You’ve been ignoring me… … .”

“I didn’t say that until now.”

“I did it… … . Anyway, now you understand? I am such a person, I am the youngest daughter of the Chairman of the Beyond group… … .”

“Pooh.”

A thin stream of water spewed out of the midsummer’s mouth.

Beyond Group. A mega-large corporate group that ranks first in the domestic business world.

From politics and economy to culture in Korea, it is safe to say that there was no place that did not reach them.

“It’s the first I’ve heard of it.”

“Hey what… … . I don’t know because I didn’t tell you… … . I don’t like it, making jokes around the house, seeing people roll their eyes when they hear it… … .”

Minseo Oh continued to speak while staring at the ceiling with blurred eyes.

“Even now, as a bodyguard, I don’t want to die to open my hands in the house while trembling… … . Still, I have to show this kind of sincerity so that Dojin will believe you… … .”

I managed to clear my confused head and open my mouth.

“I saw the bodyguard earlier and called him oppa, so that’s-”

“ah… Haven’t you been introduced to… … ? No matter how you look at it, first of all, it’s my brother, that person… … . I don’t usually do business because I’m annoyed, but… … .”

Oh Min-seo glances at Oh Cheong-myeong behind him. He, who still had a grin on his lips, walked out as soon as Oh Min-seo’s hand was raised.

“Did you call me?”

“yes… . I’m going to start with Kim speaking… … .”

“All right.”

Oh Cheong-myung pulled out a square piece of plastic from inside. It was a so-called resident registration card with a picture of midsummer and a name written on it.

“As promised, I know the identity of the child very well~… I’ll guarantee… … Um, so what was it… … .”

“My name is Yeoreum Oh and I am 20 years old. It is the setting that she is her maternal cousin.”

“Ah, that… … .”

I took the ID card and looked at it carefully.

An object made with such precision that it can be said that it is real. Still, if you look it up on a computer, you can quickly—

“Since registration has already been completed electronically, there will be no problem in your daily life.”

Oh Cheong-myung said with a smile as if he had read my thoughts.

“right… … . With that, you can go to a convenience store and buy alcohol and cigarettes as much as you want… I wish I had no one around to do that… … .”

I was momentarily speechless at the development that went beyond the common sense I had built up in my life so far.
