Seo-ryeong, who was thrown out of the van, gasped. As she breathed the bright blue air outside, she finally felt like she was alive. Either he was really motion sick, or the driver didn't know what was going on.
It is said that humans can distinguish the right part ner even by smell. This meant that relationships could be determined without even thinking about it, not by a rational way of thinking, but by genetic factors.
So, this uncertain feeling is also natural. Soon the trunk opened, and Seo-ryeong naturally took out her lunch bag.
"You had experience as a care worker, so why didn't you go there?"
As soon as I slammed the trunk shut, Lee Woo-shin, who was leaning against the car body, spoke.
"There must have been a lot of inconvenience because it was crowded with only men who lived in Blast."
Although his posture was crooked, looking at him like this again, his tall height caught my eye. The difference in eye level is enough to cover the top of my head.
Kim Hyun was also this big. Those useless thoughts came back again. But no matter how hard she tried to guess, she had never seen her husband.
Seo-ryeong said, holding the bag in both hands.
"It's all the same wherever you go. "Everyone I me et at work, whether old or young, is equally different, so is there any point in dividing up superiority and inferiority?"
"...."
He was rustling the candy in one hand and then stopped.
Did I say something harsh? The shaking pupils wan dered near Seo-ryeong's lips.
"At the nursing home, there was an old man who to ok off his pants and called me to hold my hand. He was stern and asked me to wipe his groin as well. "The re are so many clever works that make you laugh because they are so obvious."
"...."
"Do you think it's any different here? "It's the same wherever you go."
Soon, while Seo-ryeong was walking toward the back door, she glanced back at the sound of rustling and saw Lee Woo-shin scratching the candy shell with his fingernails with an unfamiliar expression on his face.
When our eyes met, he smiled reflexively.
"There is a sit-in here, so it is noisy and dangerous."
The man gestured towards somewhere beyond the back door. Sure enough, a distracting shout was coming from afar.
People wearing matching colored vests and red headbands occasionally passed by. Perhaps because of the cold weather, a drum that was visible at a glance was on fire, and the ground was mottled as if something had been thrown at it.
"Blast employees are working undercover here. "To destroy the union by getting in between the members."
"!..."
"It is common for services to be put into labor sites, but the government and police have never treated private companies this much. So there probably won't be anything rough."
"What do you want to say?"
"It's dangerous, so I'll wait in the car."
"...."
what? I was speechless. No, I wasn't really expecting anything, but... This person is so.... When I looked at him with his eyes, he yawned and ate the candy.
He threw a candy shell into the bag Seoryeong was holding and waved his hand.
"If you're going to go, go quickly. "If the lunch box gets cold, it won't taste good."
"...."
He was a person I really didn't want to deal with anymore.
I was told that an employee from the company wouId definitely be there.... Seo-ryeong walked around looking around, not knowing who to deliver the lunch box to. The farther she got from the back door, the more noisy she became, but fortunately, she didn't seem to be very interested in her.
In the meantime, Seo-ryeong was only thinking about how she could keep up with her overseas business trip.
How can I naturally get on the list without being suspected?
"hey!"
At that time, someone wearing a vest came runnin gtowards me, panting. He looked knowingly at the lar ge bag with the Blast logo on it.
ah... I guess it's him. Seo-ryeong also started walking in that direction.
"It's a lunch box, right?"
"yes."
"Give it to me. thank you."
A young man with a gentle expression bent down a nd took the bag. And that was the moment when he bowed his head and said hello.
I thought my heart stopped.
"....!"
A familiar scent suddenly came from him as he moved his body.
The movement of my feet was not of my own volition. The young man gave a puzzled look as the distance suddenly got closer.
She subconsciously looked at the other person's height, face, and even the back of his hand.
He had a manly, square jaw, but his overall appearance was rough. His wide eyes were as simple as a country boy's, and I strangely missed the way he stuttered backwards.
It was too similar to my husband's body odor.
As I was looking at him without even blinking, the man nodded again and almost ran away.
Seo-ryeong followed as if fascinated. The young man must have sensed the presence and stopped, rubbing the back of his neck. As I raised my arm to the level of my earlobe, I felt like I could smell more of the comfortable body odor.
The corners of her mouth naturally relaxed.
"why..... Why are you following me?...."
"Eating..."
"yes?"
"Can I watch you eat?"
"Here, here at the factory? why?"
He cleared his throat and asked, and Seo-ryeong answered after much thought.
"I'm curious about your food habits."
"....."
"I won't bother you. "I'll just watch you empty your lunch box and then leave."
"uh..."
When I saw him struggling, something struck me.
He's just like Kim Hyun in his early days... She put a lot of pressure on her trembling lips. It was a feeling that was probably just an illusion anyway, but I felt a tingle in my solar plexus.
At that time, the young man bowed his head again.
"S-sorry. It's a little dirty inside...."
"....ah"
"If you could at least give me your contact information instead... Even if I go out and eat after work..."
He glanced at Seo-ryeong and spoke with difficulty.
She was staring at the collarbone in front of her. An invisible skeleton buried in a bit of flesh. The excitement cooled down quickly. Still, she sniffled her nose and asked.
"Do you use perfume?"
"yes?"
"Or fabric softener?"
As she raised her eyes like a cat, the young man blinked his eyelids frantically.
"Uh, uh... I don't know It's just something my mom does..."
Seo-ryeong nodded feverishly.
"Then when will we eat..."...."
"No, I'm a busy person for no reason...". "Enjoy your lunch box."
Seo-ryeong, with her shoulders slumped, turned around. "Uh, hey...!" A voice was heard grabbing her soul as if it were regretful or embarrassed, but she had already withered away. Her limbs seem to be hanging down heavily.
In fact, I was shocked to see myself losing my mind for a moment and following even an insignificant trace.
Every time I confirmed my desire and longing for him in this way, my misery doubled, and my resentment toward Kim Hyeon grew even bigger.
I want to kill him. But I miss you... That was the moment when she closed her eyes tightly.
"What did you just say?"
Seo-ryeong was startled and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
When I turned my head to the right, Lee Woo-shin, who was stuffing his hands into his long field bag, ap proached me with a strange look on his face. The wrinkles between the eyebrows, like a knife, were unusual.
"Did you know someone?"
He pointed at the man walking away with his chin. Seo-ryeong said, "No." He dragged his feet.
On days when I was feeling down for no reason, Kim Hyun noticed me like a ghost and lent me his back. My head was pounding from the flood of memories.
"He said he would wait in the car."
"Even if they run away when in danger, they run when they are curious. "Who do you look at so appetizingly?"
The half-closed eyes looked sad, but there was a dark joy shining through them.
"I was confused as to whether I was delivering a lunch box or a person, so I came out and looked."
Seo-ryeong clenched her molars for no reason. It w as a disaster. When I was most distracted, when I felt like my emotional weakness was about to come out, this guy happened to show up and get on my nerves again.
Please shut up. Should I hit the snout or kick the so lar plexus? All kinds of inappropriate thoughts raced through her mind.
From the new work environment to the food waste incident, and the stress that had built up unknowingly along the way, it seemed as if my size had grown in t he blink of an eye.
I know this is just an act of anger, but...!
"Yes, I looked at it because I wanted to see it. So?"
She shot back coldly.
"I followed it because it was my favorite smell. So, whatever."
"....smell?"
"There it is, a smell that makes you roll your eyes and go crazy."
"Do you really do marijuana?"
"...."
I was shocked. I snorted because I thought there were so many different ways to make someone speech less.
"Okay, just put me on the list. I won't please them."
At that moment, boom! Something flew out of now here and hit my forearm.
