Mr.Lee : Why didn't you tell us before?
Mi Jeong : Well, you never asked me if I knew who he was dating. Or if it is my sister.
Mr.Lee : Do I have to ask that for you to tell? We used to gossip about it all the time. As a member of the team, you ought to enlighten us.
A familiar manly voice interrupted the bicker and rightly watered the fire, "It was me. I asked her not to reveal anything."
Designer Lee turned reflexively and there was a visible transformation of his expressions. To see the leader he admired the most, in the best attire. He was so mesmerized by how dazzling he looked in a tuxedo, that Mr.Lee forgot all his queries.
Mr.Lee : WOAH~ Team Jang-nim!! Woah! Bling bling~ You are so handsome! I can't belie- oh, you are making me emotional.
Mr.Nam : Stop overreacting, punk!
Light chuckles were heard in the room and the director drew everyone's attention once again to deliver his brief gratitude.
Mr.Nam : Well, I am really happy to see you all sharing this special day with me. Thank you everyone for your tireless efforts and hard work. And giving me so much love all these years working in EHS. You will forever remain my best team.
The males automatically surged to him for a group hug while the ladies awkwardly smiled at their moment.
Alarmed at the loud announcement of the ceremony to be soon commencing, everyone left to the hall to settle down. And while Mi Jeong was leaving to her sister's room, Dan Hwa stopped her for a while.
Dan Hwa : Why did you vote for me? You clearly wanted the title.
Mi Jeong : You're right, I did get tempted for a second. But you know, it suddenly appeared to me that if I do become the director. I would have to give up the fun Mi Jeong everyone likes to hang out with. Just like you had to give up your designing. Everything comes at a price, honey. I was just not ready to pay mine.
Mi Jeong winked at her and left. There was something more to what she literally meant. Dan Hwa never felt much drawn into their friendship from day-1. Mi Jeong was a puzzle she didn't have the patience to solve.
Hours brimmed with activities and heartfelt speeches of closed ones, gradually the grand wedding at long last came to an end. Atleast for the guests, as they saw the newly weds off to their honeymoon.
Dan Hwa and Lee Jun were walking together towards the parking lot. She was abstracted as usual, only until a sniff from designer Lee that she gazed up at him.
Dan Hwa : Are you crying?
Dan Hwa halted and removed his hands from his eyes to have a better access. He didn't cover it anymore and cried out openly. Lee Jun was known to be in touch with his emotions and wouldn't try to bottle it down. Unless it was too personal, like in his brother's case.
Mr.Lee : Our Nam Team Jang-nim... (-sniffs-) We won't get to see him again~ Why did he have to leave the company?
Dan Hwa : Because they decided to settl-
Mr.Lee : I know that! It's just... such a bad man he is. Straying us all.
Dan Hwa : And who said, we should send him away with smiles, if it's his choice to leave?
Mr.Lee : I know I said that too! I don't have to record separately to listen to my own words! I know what I said.
Dan Hwa: Yaa, that was a sarcastic comment. I didn't literally mean it.
