The end of the week, Friday has arrived. Although it had been less than an hour since I left for work, the corners of my mouth were twitching.
'I came and filled out all the A4 paper and was told to organize it... Now I just need to kill some time.'
I took out my cell phone and confidently went online. It wasn't something a week-old rookie would do, but he didn't seem to notice at all.
It's not because I'm too good at my job, I just used a fraud skill called camouflage.
In the eyes of others, you will look like an amazing intern who is eagerly reading something. While I was busy doing something else, I felt a presence behind me.
"Mr. Woojin. Drink some of this and relax."
A paper cup placed on the desk. It was mixed coffee. However, the identity of the person who gave it was more surprising than the kindness.
"Sir?"
"It's a gift for working hard all week."
"Thank you. I'll enjoy it."
When I nodded, she gestured that it was okay. When she lifted her head again, she noticed something different from usual.
The top button of the dress shirt was undone.
'Did you forget?'
Lee Yena, who boasted of an impregnable wall with no flaws, can't do that. There's no way she could have changed in one day just because she had that dream yesterday.
I secretly scanned the subtly exposed collarbone. And then I looked at her back as she returned to her original position.
"...."
Other than that button, there wasn't anything different. As always, a tight skirt and a dress shirt underneath it.
Even the long pink ponytail was the same.
Well, if you feel frustrated, you can solve it. Let's not be too sensitive. I sipped the coffee the assistant manager gave me and continued to use his cell phone.
After a while, Iyena swiveled her chair around.
"Woojin, I have to go to a meeting now. Can you take care of this for me?"
"Which one?"
"All you have to do is update the numbers in this data."
"Of course. Please leave it to me."
"thank you."
She grinned. I've seen it a few times, but this is the first time I've seen it so bright.
I smiled vaguely and accepted about 10 pages of material.
As I was thumbing through the pages and checking, she stood up, holding a bunch of things.
"I'll be back~"
"yes."
The sound of high-pitched shoes passed behind me again and again. I turned around and went out the doorway, and I was able to see something else in the front view for a moment.
This time it was buttoned.

A few hours later. As the sun rose in the sky, Yena Lee gave a signal by tapping her desk.
"Shall we go have lunch soon?"
"Yes, I understand."
"The team leader and the others are having lunch, so we'll eat together today."
"Is there anything else you'd like to eat?"
"Um... I'm craving Korean food today. How do you like Woojin?"
"Korean food is good."
The assistant manager says he wants to eat, but what's wrong with the intern messing around? Just follow along.
I stopped what I was doing and left the office.
As I was walking along the roadside, my pocket suddenly vibrated. I quickly checked and there was a super idol's name stamped on it.
It's a bit of an odd timing, but I can't not not receive it.
Once I was three steps away, I pressed the green button.
"hello?"
"Huh? What is it? Are you really getting it?"
"What do you mean by calling me after a long time?"
"No, did you crash school? Why are you here at this hour?"
Kim Se-jeong suddenly starts talking like an idiot. After a brief frown, she continued her sentence.
"Do you see the black Starex about 10 meters ahead?"
"see."
"That's me."
At the same time, the rear seat window rolled down. A pure white arm and orange hair stuck out through the gap.
Without even having to check, I was sure it was Kim Se-jeong.
"Just wait there."
With those words, the car door creaked open. Kim Se-jeong, armed with a tightly-fitting hat and sunglasses, approached in one step.
He stopped next to me and started looking me up and down.
"Hey, you have a really nice suit. Does it suit you well?"
"Thank you. But why are you here?"
"Is that what I wanted to say? Anyway, let me explain first, because the agency is nearby, I came out for lunch."
"This is where your entertainment is?"
I didn't know Kim Se-jeong's agency was around here. Honestly, I don't think there's anyone out there who memorizes that.
I just know where I belong.
He scratched his head shyly and opened his mouth again.
"Actually, I was interned for a month, so I was spending some time at work."
"Really? This is the first time I've heard this?"
"I didn't say anything, so it's probably the first time I'm hearing it."
"Wow… that's really too much. Was I the only one who bullied him?"
"I forgot what I said. Sorry."
"Well, that's okay. Then, do you want to have lunch with us? If we sneak into the car and sneak around, no one will know."
"I don't think that will work."
Instead of explaining, I looked ahead. Assistant Manager Lee Ye-na, looking slightly uncomfortable, was glaring at us.
Thanks to this, people's attention was drawn to this place.
Orange and pink. It's really Jagangducheon.
"I already made plans for lunch with my counterpart. Let's eat together next time."
"...That's an office worker?"
"You might not believe it, but it is."
"I can't help it. Then you have to explain it properly later. Everything."
"okay."
Kim Se-jeong poked his side and obediently got into his car. In a huff, I walked over to the assistant manager and grabbed the apple.
"I'm sorry. I didn't expect my friend to suddenly appear."
"It's okay. You're more than just a friend?"
"Yeah, I didn't know, but they said he was working around here."
"Hmm... I see."
She stared at the black Starex. She held her gaze for about three seconds and then turned her body away.
"Go quickly."
"yes."
That's how we arrived at the restaurant. After taking her seat, Iyena opened her mouth indifferently.
"Woojin seems like he has a lot of female friends, and it turns out it's true."
"Me?"
"You were a woman just now, right?"
"It's a little… on the side."
"Well, I go to a good school and look fine and have a good body, but it's even weirder that I don't have one."
"haha..."
It feels strangely prickly, is that right? I smiled shamelessly and set the spoon.
She, who usually used her cell phone, was staring at me.
"But what does that girl from earlier do for a living? Oh, it's not a census or anything, I'm just curious that her hair color is unique."
What should I do if the assistant manager asks that? It's a pink color that's more unique than orange.
"I'm working in the entertainment industry."
"Oh, I see. So are you like a broadcast staff member?"
"That's not it… uh, it's a bit difficult to say."
"It's okay if you don't say anything if you're in trouble. I just felt the same way as Kim Se-jeong, so I asked just in case. But that's not possible..."
I flinch.
As soon as the name came out, my body trembled reflexively. Yena Lee's mouth, which had been talking like a joke, also stopped.
A very awkward smile appeared.
Since he is a quick-witted person, it would be better to tell the truth rather than lie. I nodded obediently.
"That's Kim Se-jeong. Idol."
"Uh…uh…uh…er, really?"
"I'm being honest, so please keep it a secret."
However, Yena Lee opened her eyes wide and made no reaction. She seemed to be trying to determine whether what she had just said was serious or a joke.
In a way, it's natural. Who would believe you if you suddenly told your friend that he or she was a super idol?
It's not like we were high school friends or anything.
After about 10 seconds, she came to her senses and took a sip of water. She wiped the corner of her mouth and stuck her head out.
"I'm curious how we became friends?"
She lowered her voice as if she was telling some secret. For now, let's just say what I said.
"Do you know Park Seo-yoon?"
"I know! They're members of the same group. The kid who runs two tops with Kim Se-jeong."
"We became friends while taking the same class as her. But then Kim Se-jeong joined in and we started hanging out, and this is what happened."
"...By the way, I heard that Park Seo-yoon also attends Mirae University, right?"
"You know?"
"Because there were a lot of articles at one time."
So do you know about the scanning incident? You should just keep this thing shut.
Fortunately, Yena Lee didn't ask any more questions.
He seemed a little confused by the enormous fact. Just then, the silence was broken and food was placed on the table.
"Ah... it's hot."
And then the assistant manager secretly undid his top button and began to eat.

"Thank you for your hard work. See you next week!"
"Yes, Woojin, you had a really hard time too."
I got off work. I quickly came down to the first floor and passed through the lobby when I noticed that people's necks were turned in one direction.
Are you holding an event or something?
As I took a few steps closer, I could see why. Because there was a beauty with purple two-tone hair.
In particular, with her arms crossed, her chest stood out tremendously.
I met emerald eyes.
"Ah, discovery."
"You should have told me in advance. Sister Chae-ah."
"It's best to make something like this a surprise. Now, let's go quickly."
She rushed over and crossed her arms. She walked out of her company, receiving a lot of envious looks.
The destination was the parking lot. As I naturally got into the passenger seat, Chae-ah stuck out her lips.
"Actually, we haven't seen each other much these days because Woojin is at work, right? So we prepared a special event for you today."
"Can I look forward to it?"
"Of course. It will be more than you imagine."
Looking at how confident he is, I guess he's hiding something big. So Chae-ah arrived at her sister's house.
When I stood in front of the door, she gave me the password.
"381634. Press it yourself."
As I entered slowly, the door opened with a light sound. And inside, a flesh-colored paradise unfolded.
Strawberries, peaches, lemons, and melons all naked together.
