5th episode of “Real Man”.
Yoo Hyun, who has no academic background or connections, was able to become the president of Hansung Electronics because of his sense of humor.
Half of my company life was eaten when I was talking and when I was covering up.
If you find the part your boss wants and scratch the itchy place on your own, you will get a line that didn’t exist.
It was natural for Yoo Hyun, but not at all for others.
I found out when I went into the company and bumped into countless people.
Thanks to him, Yoo Hyun was able to shine alone.
I didn’t know when it started, but now I know.
Soon after, students crowded the table in the library on the third floor.
Few students wanted to borrow books.
Most of the students who couldn’t get a seat in the reading room on the first basement floor came up to study.
The table is full of students, so I feel like I’m back in the old days.
“Let’s take a look at it after a long time.’
Yoo-hyun, who got up from his seat, took the books returned by the students and moved to the bookshelf on one wall.
Then, I turned my head and saw a female student sitting there.
The nails on the table had been bitten off.
I think it hasn’t been long since I got my nails done, but it doesn’t look like a habit from the bite.
The tightly closed lips were rolled inside and invisible, and both ankles were hanging from the legs of the chair.
The number of blinks is also faster than other people.
It was evidence of impatience.
But I don’t think it’s because of studying for the exam.
It’s been a while since I came, but the book is still not open.
Instead, he held her cell phone tightly in his hand.
It must be a man’s problem.’
The shoulder-length curls were alive.
I didn’t get a perm.
It is a work that I stopped by a hair shop in the morning and got my hair dried.
I was impressed by the well-dressed purple dress there.
I could guess when I saw the ring on the ring finger that I had been touching for a while.
It seemed obvious that he had a problem with the man he was dating.
It seems to be the result of quite a long observation like a stalker, but Yoo Hyun only glanced.
Well.
Yoo Hyun was a little surprised.
Is it because of my younger body?
My eyesight is definitely better than before.
Adding a long experience to that, it was an instant to obtain the necessary information.
Perhaps if other people were looking at Yoo-hyun, they wouldn’t even notice that they were interested in the female student for a while.
I feel like I got an unexpected gift.
It was when Yoo-hyun was about to turn his head again.
The hand holding the cell phone tightly opened and a new message was seen.
I’m sorry I couldn’t keep my promise today. I thought about it a lot, but I think we should break up.
Oh, my.
I didn’t mean to…….
I feel like I’ve peeked into my private life for no reason.
I resent having good eyes at times like this.
No, I shouldn’t have paid attention, but it caught my eye automatically.
This is because the habit of observing people has been ingrained in the body.
Yoo Hyun, who finished organizing the book, glanced at a man as he moved past the table to his seat.
The male student was puffing out his cheeks with a lot of frown.
It seems that there is not much time left until the important test, as I tap my finger on the desk and even shake my legs.
If you’re going to do that, let’s read one more letter.
I’m sure he’s going to smoke.
Grrrrrr.
Eventually, the male student couldn’t turn over a page and got up from his seat and took out a cigarette in his pocket.
“As expected.”
It hit me as I expected.
This was due to the experience I got from the company.
Even though they were young and old, people’s behavior patterns were similar.
“What are you doing? I can’t take care of anyone.”
Yoo-hyun, who was smiling as a result of a satisfactory prediction, sighed after stopping.
I did a great job of taking care of the company’s performance with my wits, but I couldn’t take care of the people around me.
I feel more bitter for no reason.
Even after that, Yoo-hyun looked more at people passing by.
Then there was one thing I realized.
“I don’t have a big headache.”
I used to get a headache when I processed so much information at once, but now I didn’t.
I thought it might be because I was young, or because I was less stressed.
What is certain is that the more sensitive you care about your surroundings, the more sensitive you made yourself.
Yoo Hyun repeated to himself that he should go to a different life, a little slower and more relaxed.
Looking at the library’s work log, today is Yoo Hyun’s last working day.
Yoo-hyun has no feelings now, but if it was 20 years ago, he felt bitter and bitter.
It’s time to say goodbye to the place we’ve been together for a year and a half.
I mean, was I busy preparing for a job back then?
Maybe it was because I don’t remember.
While I was thinking about this and that, someone called Yoo Hyun.
“Senior, I’m here.”
a round face with straight bangs
The dimples that go in when you smile are impressive.
Seeing that she comes straight to her seat, it seems that she is Cho Eun-ah, who buys a library and works part-time together.
My memory is blurry, but if you look at the text messages I exchanged, I was a junior in the department.
What’s certain is that we weren’t very close.
Yoo-hyun naturally raised his hand and raised his eyebrows as a sign of welcome.
“You’re here?”
“Yes, thank you for your hard work.”
From the hard title of senior to the short answer, he was surprised.
At first glance, it seems that Yoo-hyun was not so friendly.
What was I like in other people’s eyes?
Suddenly, I was curious.
“If you have time, should we drink something?”
“What?”
Cho Eun-ah’s eyes widened.
She looks like she’s heard something incredible.
“Today is the last day.”
“Oh…… yes.”
When Yoo Hyun made a chin gesture, Cho Eun-ah hurriedly put down her bag and followed Yoo-hyun.
The two stood in front of the vending machine in the hallway of the library.
“Lemonade?”
“What? How did you know?””
‘Cause you’re staring at the lemonade.’
Picked up Yoo-hyun took a drink from the vending machine and sat on a bench next to her.
“Thank you for the drink.Thank you.”
“Well, yes.”
Cho Eun-ah smiled and opened her mouth in the relaxed atmosphere.
“It might be hard to see you now, but can I call you oppa?”
Yoo Hyun was flustered for a moment.
What is this bottomless logic?’
Although I was embarrassed by the sudden change in attitude, it didn’t matter much about the title.
“Yes, of course.”
“Yay. Hehe. I thought there was something wrong with Oppa because he only studied without saying anything.”
“What’s the problem?”
When Yoo Hyun asked seriously, Cho Eun-ah smiled slightly awkwardly.
“You know what?It’s hard to get along with people. Things like that.That’s why it’s hard to say it first.”
“Did I?”
“Actually, it’s very frustrating for me.If I don’t talk, I feel dizzy.”
Listening to it, I think I know why Yoo-hyun distanced himself from her at the time.
I felt a great deal of chatter.
Did I say something wrong?
Yoo-hyun was seriously worried.
Cho Eun-ah continued excitedly without seeing Yoo-hyun shaking his head.
“Do you know that you’re a mystery person in your major?”
“Why?”
“All of a sudden, a person who didn’t even know his name ate a fruit top.”
“…….”
“But no one knows who you are.The unidentified name, Han Yoo Hyun.We also call it Han Ghost.Hehe.”
She laughs out of her wits when she speaks.
It’s a ghost.
It could have looked like that.
Even when I recall my memories, I only pictured myself being alone all the time.
I think I know why.
This is because you don’t have to care about someone and you can use your time efficiently.
While I was thinking, Cho Eun-ah’s words came to my ears.
“Oppa makes everyone retire, but in fact, people are very conscious of him.”
“Why?”
“Look at that. Hyunwoo in there is also studying in the library on the third floor because he’s conscious of you.”
“Hmm.”
Inside the glass door, I saw a man sitting on the table.
I saw you studying so hard when you went around once earlier.
It looked so desperate that it reminded me of Yoo Hyun’s old self.
“Anyway, Oppa is a very difficult person.It’s also feisty.”
“It’s not because I don’t like it.I just couldn’t afford it.”
Yoo Hyun said lightly, but Cho Eun-ah did not easily fall for it.
“I know. It’s sad to think that we can’t see each other again without talking properly even if we pass by.””
“That’s right.”
“We should drink together and talk about life together.Do you know if it’ll all help later on?”
“…….”
If it were Yoohyeon in the past, he would have shook his head.
At that time, I didn’t believe that I had to take care of relationships with people for my social life.
I thought a clumsy relationship would only hold me back.
Yoo Hyun, who joined the company, was the same.
Other people didn’t care and only looked good to their directly helpful bosses or seniors.
I thought I should do emotional labor in a productive place.
But it’s different now.
I couldn’t open my mouth like a confused mind.
Cho Eun-ah, who was constantly talking, gradually lowered her voice and opened her mouth looking at the atmosphere.
“……What are you doing after this?”
In addition to swallowing dry saliva, my eyelids were shaking.
Both hands held the ends of the skirt tightly.
She looks very nervous, not in keeping with her lively personality.
Somehow the following words were drawn.
Yoo Hyun turned the corner of her words for now.
“I have an appointment with my parents.”
“What about tomorrow? Do you want to watch a movie since your exams are over?”
As if nothing happened, she asks in a tone higher.
However, the thumb and trembling legs touching the tip of the index finger could not hide her nervousness.
“Well, I don’t really like movies.”
“Then what do you like?””
“Well……”
Cho Eun-ah, who sighed deeply at the frustrating answer returning, pressed Yoo-hyun with a recalled expression.
“You’re very tactless.If the woman said this, you should understand it.”
“…….”
Yoo Hyun was rather silent.
I’m avoiding it because I’m sensible.’
It was an answer I couldn’t bear to give.
I guess I shouldn’t have asked for a drink.
How do we get out of this situation?
Fortunately, a savior appeared when Yoo Hyun was thinking.
“I think you’re here to borrow a book”.
“Oh, wait a minute.”
When Yoo-hyun pointed his finger toward the library in the glass door, Cho Eun-ah jumped up.
Now is the time.
“Then I’ll be on my way.”
“Can I call you”?
“Yes.”
It wasn’t hard to get in touch.
Cho Eun-ah, who looked back, said with a big smile.
“Oppa, make sure to pass Hansung. You can do it.Fighting!”
a smirk of laughter
The word Hansung, which suddenly came out, made me laugh in vainly.
This is not the time when employment was as desperate as it was then.
Rather, they are worried about what to do even if they pass Hansung.
Apart from that, I was grateful for your interest and support.
“Okay, you too, fighting.”
“Hehehe.”
Yoo-hyun turned his head while staring at Cho Eun-ah’s back entering the library.
I just shared a few words, but I feel very close.
It wasn’t a relationship created to get something.
The warmth of daily life from a naturally connected relationship came meaningfully.
