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 48

When the subway door opened, dozens of people poured out with the muggy air.

Soon afterward, the crowd squeezing out the stairs and spewing out their sweet breath, scattered towards the darkness in the city.

“Have you ever made an appointment after this?”

Yu Yu-jin asked as she sat on the chair of history and placed a drink on Yu Ga-ryun’s cheek, who was rubbing her temple.

Yu Ga-ryun, who shrugged her shoulders in the coolness, shook her head as she looked up at Yu-jin who was grinning at her bedside with a smile.

“Then go eat dinner. I will give you a generous meal in return for coming today.”

As if responding to those words, steam gushed out of the midsummer’s nose as he sat next to Yu Garyun and drank his drink.

“Ko, please come! I’ll make anything your sister wants… … !”

Yu Ga-ryun let out a choking laugh, took out a tissue and wiped away the stains from the drink on the corner of her midsummer’s lips.

Then he shook his head and opened his mouth.

“I want to go, like a chimney, but I’m not feeling well today.”

As soon as the words were finished, a sigh that flowed from the mouth of Midsummer tickled Yu Ga-ryun’s nose.

“Sorry, I will definitely go next time.”

“Are you very bad? You haven’t even eaten lunch.”

“Yeah, a little… … . Oh, nothing serious. It’s been a while since I’ve been to a place full of people, and I feel like I’m getting dizzy.”

Yu Ga-ryun got up as she answered Yu Yu-jin, who looked at her with worried eyes.

“Then I’ll go soon. I have to go back to work tomorrow.”

“okay?”

Yu Yu-jin stood next to Yu Ga-ryun and continued talking.

“Then I’ll take you home.”

“No, you don’t have to do that… … .”

“… … That’s an excuse and I want to talk a little bit more, right?”

At the shy voice whispering in her ear, Ga-ryun Yu turned her head without saying a word and brushed her hair.

“no?”

Yu Ga-ryun shook her head very slightly. Yu Yu-jin, who looked at him, turned around and spoke to Han Yeo-reum.

“I’ll take you there, so go first.”

“Don’t mind me, I’ll take you carefully and come!”

Midsummer, who shook her head up and down like a woodpecker at Yu Yu-jin’s words, waved her palms at Yu Ga-ryun who looked back at her.

“Have you been roasting for a while?”

Yu Yu-jin, who turned her head and confirmed that Midsummer had disappeared, said in a playful tone.

Then, Ga-ryun Yu opened her mouth with an innocent expression on her face.

“What?”

However, it was difficult to get the mixed smile out of his throat.

“You have become a completely different person.”

“So what?”

“Don’t do that, tell me. Let me have some fun too.”

“I didn’t say anything.”

Ga-ryun Yu smiled and stretched out.

“I just told you to call me if my brother bothers me.”

“No one is on my side.”

“Iknow, right.”

The squeaks of men and women spread through the dark alley. The faint sound of laughter soon turned into the wind and gently swayed the surrounding leaves.

“Help me a lot.”

Yu-Jin Yu said.

“how?”

“As an adult.”

“Aren’t you just taking too much damage?”

“It’s suffocating when there are only adults around.”

“That’s right.”

Yu Ga-ryun opened her mouth as she brushed off the leaves that had fallen on her shoulder.

“So he will know. Because everyone knows it.”

“Was it something wrong?”

“I don’t know.”

Ga-ryun Yu turned her gaze and looked at the hand that stroked her back last night. It was a rough, wrinkled hand.

“Still, if it were me, I think I would be extremely stupid. Even though I know I can’t do that.”

“is it.”

They walked away without a word for a long time.

While only the stones at their feet rolled with a gurgling sound, what opened their mouths again was a drop of water falling from the sky.

“Do you have an umbrella?”

“no.”

They widened their stride and began to run quickly. The water drops that were falling one or two drops suddenly turned into flowing water with a loud noise.

“… … I can’t run anymore.”

The place where Yu Ga-ryun, who had been staggering, was lying flat was the pavilion in a small park in front of the apartment complex.

“There was no rain in the weather forecast.”

Yu Yu-jin said as she lifted Yu Ga-ryun’s head from the bench and put it on her thigh.

Yu Ga-ryun, who was leaning on Yu-jin’s thigh and exhaling a thin breath, abruptly got up and ran to the corner of the pavilion as if running away.

“why?”

“Oh, no… … I’m afraid my pants will all get wet because of me.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Yu Yu-jin said while pounding my thighs.

Yu Ga-ryun stared at her while clacking her thighs for a while, then shook her head and sat down opposite Yu-jin.

“My back hurts because I try to lie down at an angle.”

“I hadn’t even thought of that.”

Ga-ryun Yu brushed off the water droplets adhering to her hair with cluttered hand gestures, as if fanning herself. Yu Yu-jin, who looked at him, slowly parted his lips.

“It’s been a long time.”

Hearing those words, Yu Ga-ryun raised one eyebrow. He seemed to be thinking deeply about what Yu-Jin Yu meant.

“Garyun is sitting facing you like this. I do not remember? I used to do it often when I was an assistant lecturer at an art academy.”

“… … How could I forget that?”

“You seem to have been thinking about that for a long time.”

“You are mean.”

Ga-ryun Yu opened her mouth as she looked up at the ceiling and smiled.

“Because, not just one or two. It’s been a long time since my brother and I have been together.”

“Is that again?”

“Yeah, sitting face to face, talking properly, going out to play, playing around… … It’s all been a long time.”

She was talking to the wind. Hoping that the wind that had picked up her words and flew away one day would reach you one day.

“Fresh and good.”

And Yu-Jin intercepted those words.

“Please heal.”

“It’s your fault that you only realized that now.”

“Really.”

Yu Ga-ryun, who shook her head with a long muffled voice, licked her lips for a moment, then opened her mouth very slowly, in a small voice that she didn’t want to hear.

“It’s overkill, really.”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you. what?”

When Yu Yu-jin asked with a bewildered expression, Yu Ga-ryun said with a bitter smile.

“It would be better not to know. I’m sure you’ll hate me.”

“No way.”

“You would think it was strange.”

“It’s okay because I’m weird too.”

“Then, if I ask you not to worry about other women in the future, will you do that?”

A strong wind blew past Yu Yu-jin’s face.

The vines hanging from the pillars were trembling and looking down at the two of them.

“If you so wish.”

Yu Yu-jin’s eyes, saying that, were emitting a cautious light.

He caught his breath for a moment and then continued speaking in a calm voice.

“Still, I too—”

“why?”

Yu Ga-ryun cut off the waist with a sharp tone. Her face was obscured by a long brim.

“It’s strange. I’m not even my brother’s girlfriend. My brother also said he had no feelings for me. I’ve only just come back as friends and started talking… … . Why are you making such a simple statement?”

Yu-Jin Yu remembered the wavy night once upon a time. Where the cold waves spewed thick foam, he had rejected her confession.

I made eye contact and told her that I had no feelings for her clearly, very clearly.

“I don’t think it’s common to come here and say things like this.”

He opened his mouth slowly, feeling a little absurd to himself.

“That heart was something that grew in less than a week.”

He continued speaking while looking down at the palms that had wiped his slender back that night.

“It’s just one word, but I keep thinking about it, and then it leads to the memories of that day again, your face comes to mind, all the sensations that twitched in my palms come back to life, I want to talk to you right away, I want to see you, but I feel sad because I can’t see you. I just kept thinking about it, and then I started growing up.”

At that moment, the whole world was dyed in pure white with a flash of light. Maybe that’s how his own mind was created.

He became conscious through a trivial opportunity, and as he became conscious, he must have been tainted at some point, and finally, he wanted to shout like this resounding thunder.

Yu Yu-jin raised her head while suppressing her chest that was about to explode. And then I saw it.

A drop of water that I had promised never to let it flow again, running down my cheeks.
