"And.... You are..."
Ha-rin smiles awkwardly, the smile which you would know that it's because she's not afraid or something, just..... Sorry for interrupting.
*Silence*
Kang Eun-woo walks front, then is about to sit down in front of her
Ha-rin paces up her picking up of her dropped bag and files and all papers whichever she gets in reach and runs from there before he could say anything.
The sound of her steps echoes through the parking lot as he half sits with gun in his hand.
The foot steps nears.
"Why did you let her go?"
The voice from behind asks in somewhat curious rather than tension.
"She's going to die anyway. No need to kill her" Eun-woo says standing up holding the sheet of paper picked from the floor.

Ha-rin smashes the can of coffee on the table. She's looking out the transparent wall of convenience store that has a view of the road. A sunny bright day. Everything seems normal.
Except her.
Uff- she just encountered a guy with gun trying to kill someone.
'I would have been dead if I didn't run out' she thinks, sweat beads forming on her forehead.
She pays the bill and walks through crowded area which she thinks is very safe. Atleast there will be people around if that guy follows or attacks her.
It's been more than half a day and she's still out, in the name of meeting. She walks with two plastic covers of that convenience store, full of items sent by Mr. Manager.
He always makes her do personal arrand.
That shit.
Her phone vibrates.
She ignores it. For goddam hundredth time!!! She's not picking that bastard 's call.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp50LBkAvOe
Her phone vibrates again. But a slow one.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCed7UUoBP

171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnuqaxvN4n
Ha-rin's eyes widens bigger and bigger at every text that came in.
She rushes and hails a taxi.

171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgi1sjQadh
"Where is yoon Ha-rin? I know she's here-"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1ZJqAqBQ7
The sliding door opens up again.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzjUzb5rzU
Ha-rin enters, rushing and panting, starts pulling him out with his hand "Come out, we need to-"
Ji-hoon pushes her, making the plastic covers fall on the floor.
"Are you mad? Are you done with me? Why are you not picking up the phone?"
Ha-rin had to close her eyes for a second to take a breathe, starts pulling him out again - "let's talk outside"
He again pushes her back. This time with little more force making her to stumble back.
Han nari And Lee Do Hyun reaches out for ha-rin as if she could fall down anytime.
"Do you know how much I tried to contact you? I know what I did was wrong, and I wanted to apologise for that." He says throwing his both hands down in air
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT2wsn4rvm
Everyone seated in the office looking at him. And her.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPtAp6jFQ0
"Yaa!" She stands up straight in front of him. "Give respect and take respect!"
It pisses him off at how ha-rin is now trying to stand up for herself.
"Respect?" He scoffs. "Do you even know who coined the word 'ReSpEcT'?" He mockingly steps forward right in front of her.
Ha-rin, pushes her hair back. Scoffs, controlling hard her eye roll at the edge.
"Yeah, A word that literally no one invented. It just appeared naturally in language, kindof like your behaviour problem."
A familiar deep voice from the desk booms in his same calm demeanor, making everyone turn their head to look at him.
Park minjoon stands up walking up to him, smoothly pushing the shouting and complaining man out of the sliding door and locking it from inside.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP1JqHBo8j
"Talk to security, they can't just leave anybody to get inside the office" he says and gets back to his seat.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRSAqopOc9
Kim Seo-yeon Patting ha-rin's back to console her; now takes the sign to get back to her seat leaving ha-rin stand there for a second, taking in this just happened for real.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O1gU0q1jd
She starts picking up those biscuits and some fruits fallen out of the cover and walks in break room and keeps the cover on the table.
She stands there, breathing in and breathing out.
It's fine. It's fine. Everything will be alright.- she keeps saying to herself in mind.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcdExCWhJh
"We'll go down to cafe for a bit" - voice from outside, Han nari, Kim Seo-yeon other colleagues ask the team leader, to give ha-rin some space there for a sec.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX0JrNExt8
Ha-rin goes out and sits straight in front of her computer.
Starts typing.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeIPgiQHwd
Paper prints out.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuhhl1ydop
She gets the paper and keeps it in front of minjoon's table.
Park minjoon doesn't Look at anything but his screen.
"My resignation letter"
"I'm not the respective person to get resignation letters from employee."
"But Manager is not in, so I want to submit it to you on behalf, you're the team leader"
"Yes, but I'm not responsible for this, this doesn't come under my job role. Kindly submit it to him by yourself"
Ha-rin sighs, throwing her head back in frustration, she snatches the paper back from the table.
"Where did he even go by the way? When will he come back?"
"3 months"
"WHAT??!?!"
"He went to Hawaii, his wife surprised him with trip tickets" he speaks not looking up even for a second out from the screen as he's very busy doing his work on computer.
Ha-rin rolls her eyes and drops her small heavy feet with every step she takes and falls down on her chair.
Park minjoon, busy in his computer.

The office now empty, ha-rin tries again. Walks up to Minjoon, "The resignation letter..."
"Nope"
His strong deep voice echoes in the dimly lighted empty office. Yet he didn't lift up his head to look at her once.
Ha-rin, curiously peeks at his desktop screen
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4YHYyNz6k
Woah... Playing cards😯
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlgLZ1FIWd
Her eyes widened, but comes back to normal within seconds.
"Tch"
The sound comes out loud as intended by ha-rin.
Park minjoon, finally lifts his head up.
"I'm leaving too. Bubyee"
She says as she walks towards the exit.
Park minjoon turns his head back to computer, "kids these days" he shakes his head in fed-up.

Min-seo reads the text.
Wha- really??? She turns her head in urgency.
'There's no way that this is that cafe right?'
She mutters to herself checking the staffs around her.
Nope.
Disappointed? Relieved?
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacyS1cyFfL
"Hi Miss min-seo"
"Ah- hello" she greets back gesturing him to take seat accross the table.
"I read your writings for next chapter, don't you think all your novels are similar?" Park minjoon gets straight to the point.
"Well you're not incharge of my writings, so don't want to answer that." She boldly replies.
"Did you get your hair done today?"
... Huh?
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6agWPMxAB

"Don't go for that reunion."

The umbrella falls splashing down the muddy water as min-soo closes her eyes. Her pink lips moves as her wet hair gets grabbed by the long fingers.
Minjoon's back with black hoodie gets hit by the rain drops preventing it to touch her face directly.
