Ara was preparing her morning breakfast, egg rolls, warm rice, and a bowl full of sundubu jjigae. Yep, yeah, the girl needs to warm her body with warm and slightly spicy food even though it is too early for her stomach to receive something spicy but she is more concerned with the fact that she will not be able to live her day in the middle of winter without such food.
He still had half an hour before entering the office, he took Jae Hwan's brown coat, yes it belonged to the man. Then open a red and black sachet stick that contains red ginseng extract biting it in the mouth and gradually sip it, it was too spicy and strong but Ara had to get used to this once again because she did not want to be sick like yesterday and troubled everyone even though she would refuse even though she was forced to drink it.
"i didn't know you were starting to like red ginseng?"
Jae Hwan approaches her as he waits for the elevator in the lobby
"ahh sajangnim."
Ara took the red ginseng stick in her mouth and slightly bowed, Jae Hwan just smiled looking at Ara's behavior
"i don't want to get sick anymore and trouble everyone."
Ara and Jae Hwan just looked at her with a smile staring at something that was bitten with his lips
"you want to?"
Ara reached into her clutch and thrust one stick at Jae Hwan
"ara-ya Gomawo!"
the man then opened it and sucked the contents until it was almost finished
"wahhh I even took a long time to spend."
Ara astonished
"you must spend it in one drink so as not to linger - long enjoy the bitter taste."
Ara was stunned, she did not understand but it sounded like Ara should not linger - long dissolved in bitter taste
He smiled and woke himself up
"ahh and one more, you can talk banmal (non-formal) with me when we're both, like we used to."
Jae Hwan then goes into the elevator first leaving Ara glued there, then the man signals with his eyes for Ara to also come in
Ara just followed without saying anymore.
The man looked at Ara continuously from inside his room, he was happy to choose the interior with one way mirrored glass around his room because he could be satisfied staring out without being noticed by others. The girl was busy with a few phone calls and noted a few things while Kang Sol was out to take care of some schedules.
"Ara ssi, do you look busy?"
Calvin came with a map in his hand
"eung, I left a lot of work because I had the flu yesterday."
The girl replied after she was done with the conversation on the phone
"you want to meet sajangnim?"
"no, you should check this out first and ask for my autograph."
Calvin handed me a red map
"ahh right... I'll check it out after this. Gomawoyo Calvin ssi!"
"Yaaa, once we had to speak Indonesian so that no one would understand."
Calvin whispered in front of Ara without them realizing there were two pairs of eyes looking annoyed
Ara then laughed crisply, the laughter that Jae Hwan longed for because every time he saw and heard it he always wanted to laugh, it was contagious.
"okay, we'll talk Indonesian!"
Ara spoke in her mother tongue and laughed again she had not done so for a long time except when talking on the phone with her family there
triiiinnngggg triiiinnnggggg
the phone rang Ara and Calvin stopped his laughter instantly, knowing it must be from the glass-walled room in front of him
"you're in my room now!"
Ara had not even said anything when the call was cut off, she could hear a slight tone of anger in Jae Hwan's voice
'ahh let alone this,'
the girl stepped inside while stepping in.
Ara walked out of Jae Hwan's room after 15 minutes of standing there with no clear purpose, the girl did not know exactly what her boss wanted. Jae Hwan just fell silent then asked the job that even Ara had given up, after that only Ara who watched her boss work with a computer in front of her he felt very upset and wanted to be angry but his eyes were spoiled by Jae Hwan there without realizing the girl was glued to him the figure, he then blinked his eyes not wanting to continue to drag on in the vortex of the past.
Ara massaged her legs that a little sore because they stood too long and leaned back in her comfortable work chair, she realized Kang Sol had not returned when their working hours were almost over, he glanced at his watch which showed at 4 pm then took his phone and pressed someone's number. Again Jae Hwan noticed from the inside, inexplicably he was upset to see the girl laughing with someone on the phone and subconsciously pressed the extension button and returned the phone on Ara's desk rang, he looked in annoyance at his boss' room.
"ne sajangnim?"
Ara said when she reached her boss's room
"you know it's still working hours?"
"i don't like to see you joking or talking to other people when your work isn't done yet"
"ahh joesonghamnida sajangnim, but I was just asking if Kang Sol ssi needs help because he hasn't come back yet."
Jae Hwan smiled faintly at Ara's reply, he also became a little misbehaved because he was already upset indistinctly at the girl
"eung, you can go back to your desk."
without further ado Ara immediately bent down and out of the room he was really tired of having to go back and forth to his boss room many times without a clear purpose
"again, and I'll be mad!"
he said annoyed
Exactly at 5 o'clock when he took his clutch bag and intended to go home but again - again the fucking phone rang. Ara swearing.
he did not pick it up and went straight to his boss' room without excuse
"Aaahhh wae?"
"my work hours are over and you still want to call me?"
"now what? all the work today is done, I have also recorded what should be followed up tomorrow, all your schedules have been arranged and managed with Kang Sol ssi."
"what else?"
Jae Hwan just looked at Ara while holding back a laugh, he really went back to being his old Ara
"you love to babble Ara ssi"
he still held back his smile while Ara already put on an annoyed face
"i'll take you home, it's getting colder you can't get sick. AGAIN!"
Jae Hwan put emphasis on his last word as if it was a warning.
"no need, I can take the bus."
"i didn't mean to drive you home, but we're in line."
"you're not avoiding me, are you?"
Ara could not argue anymore, she knew Jae Hwan the man although soft in speech but he did not like to be rejected.
Ara ends up sitting next to Jae Hwan awkwardly, then her phone rang an incoming call from Calvin
"hey!"
"sorry, I'm back first.I promise you tomorrow!"
"ohh dahh."
Ara hung up the phone while smiling a little, though, Jae Hwan is upset because he does not understand what Ara is talking about with Calvin he only understands that the girl has the rest of the promise Jae Hwan does not want to guess and he is jealous even though he does not want to admit it
"it's Korean, speak a language that other people understand!"
"wae?"
"i don't want anyone to know what we're talking about."
"after all, I taught you a little. Ahh but it's been a long time since you've forgotten."
Said Ara while shaking her hand
"i've never forgotten anything related to you."
Jae Hwan and Ara stared at each other suddenly because the man said things he should not have started because the story was endless. Ara could not remember it anymore. He doesn't want to.
