“There’s a guy below us who works in the office supply store in the lobby of the building.”

“Oh, I think I know who you are talking about.” “Isn’t that noticeable? I wasn't the only one.”

 “Since when have you been working?” Another new face appeared. I thought silently. New face, who started appearing in conversations with people on our team for a while, is a man who works part-time at an office supply store on the first floor of a company building. 

That's all I know. However, the appearance was quite conspicuous, so the frequency of appearances in conversations was quite high.

But I didn't listen to them very carefully. This is because the youngest employee of the computer room, an intern in the social contribution team, a barista in the cafe across the street, etc., were a topic that was repeated over and over again, changing only the opponent when a good person appeared. 

After all, it's a limited-time idol. “He was really kind” 

“But you know what it is? There were already two people in our company who try to approach him.” 

“Who? who?” 

“I don’t know, but as soon as I saw him, he said that he was his type, and he went and gave me his number.” 

“Oh my, girls these days are pretty. I hope you are confident.” But if the same story is repeated over and over again, I tend to become aware of it. Office supplies used in the company are usually received through the general affairs team after payment, but I have heard that more female employees are purchasing stationery with their own money to see the man up close. 

It was when I became a little curious about the man who breathes warmth into the hearts of female employees in such a boring routine that is repeated every day. “Didn’t the item arrive?” A staff member of the general affairs team answered my question with a puzzled face. “The order went in properly, but it’s strange. I don't have any stuff. Will you come back tomorrow to find me? I'm going back now... .” Saying that, the staff tried to get up. I stopped him and waved my hand lightly, “Oh, that's fine. I'll go get it." 

"Are you okay?" 

“It’s right below, right?” After saying good bye, I went out and headed straight downstairs. Normally, I would have waited until tomorrow because it was bothersome, but I just remembered the conversation of the employees a while ago. And when I arrived at the office supply store on the first floor, I encountered a familiar face I had never imagined. 

“Why are you here… .” 

Surprised, I pointed at Il-Jo without realizing it. But, with a surprised expression on his face, Il-Jo just stopped in place and disappeared into the warehouse before I could even finish speaking.
