Min-Sun stretched finally finishing the presentation for the upcoming meeting. The company had done a survey and Min-Sun was tasked with compiling the results into more simplified data. She got up pushing in her chair before putting on Haewon's coat.
Her whole outfit was basically borrowed from Haewon considering the clothing that was left in her suitcase was less than something desirable for work. She wanted to go back to her house to get some clothes, but the police still had not released her house. So instead she asked Haewon if she could borrow some clothes, and she was wearing one of Haewon's black skirts with a burgundy long sleeve top. The only clothing she hadn't borrowed practically was the black boots she was wearing, and that was only because she was wearing them the day of the break in.
Min-Sun grabbed her bag before wishing everyone a good day. She saw Felix on her way out, waved and wished him a good day and that she would see him later at home.
After the incident yesterday with the police, she asked about the condition of her house and when she might be able to move back in, but there was still no news. Apparently after the two officers had went through her house the investigation had went to someone else so they were no longer heavily involved. There was also the other incident that happened when she got home yesterday. Not only was she scolded by Hyunjin, but she was scolded by almost everyone else that knew of her little escape act.
When Min-Sun finally got her chance to explain, she told them she appreciated the concern, but that them being so overbearing was making her feel like she was going insane. She couldn't go to class, work, even the bathroom without someone following her. She understood why they were being cautious but she couldn't do this everyday with someone following her all the time.
Thankfully they took her concerns seriously and they all compromised that she would just have someone with her if she was going to campus, to and from work, and if she decided to go walking about at night again.
As she was making her way out of the building, she decided to grab some tea from the break room. Since the previous incident, Felix decided they needed a stockpile of hot chocolate compared to tea which she enjoyed, but there were some days though that she just wanted a cup of tea.
On the way over to the break room, she heard noises coming from inside and decided to listen to gauge if she should go in or not.
"What if someone comes in on us? I can't exactly act casual on the countertop." Min-Sun raised her eyebrows in shock placing her hand over mouth. How could someone say something so scandalous at work?
"Don't worry, just two minutes okay?" Min-Sun knew it might be wrong but she leaned closer on the door to try and figure out whose voices they were. They sounded awfully familiar but she couldn't place why. She leaned more against the door causing it to open a bit causing a tiny creak to fill the air. She really hoped it hadn't alerted the two people inside.
"Who is out there?" She heard Haweon gasp out. Crap she had been caught and now she had to explain-
Wait Haewon?
Min-Sun pushed the door open fully and saw Haewon on the counter where the tea and coffee normally is and Chan standing in between her legs holding her waist. Holy shit Min-Sun walked in on them about to know who knows what. She really hoped it was just a make out session.
She didn't know what she should do next in this situation, so instead she decided to leave and close the door behind her. She took two steps before the door was thrown open and someone was tugging her arm and bringing her back into the break room. The door was closed behind her and she turned to see a flustered Chan had dragged her back. He looked at Min-Sun embarrassed with his flushed cheeks.
"Dude don't pretend like you didn't see anything!" He whisper yelled exasperated as Haewon was moving the coffee and tea back to place as if nothing has happened.
Min-Sun looked back and forth between the both of them. Haewon was calmly fixing her clothes as well as fixing Chan's disheveled look. "So how long has this been a thing?" Min-Sun asked trying diffuse the awkward tension built up in the room.
"About a week." Chan bit his lip before taking Haewon's hand in his. His previously anxious and embarrassed state dissolved when he held her hand, and when he looked to see her smiling at him he smiled back just as big. Min-Sun watched with a slight smirk on her face.
It was about time the two of them got together if she was honest. Her and So-Hee had talked for ages about how the two of them need to be locked in a room together to get one of them to confess.
"Hey Min do you mind not telling the others about this yet?" Haewon turned toward Min-Sun with a pleading look in her eyes. She didn't even have to explain why, Min-Sun knew they would tell everyone when they wanted to.
"You have your reasons for not telling anyone yet, I respect that. You don't have to worry, I won't tell." She held out her pinky for Haewon letting her know she meant what she said. Haweon laughed taking her pinky in hers sealing their promise.
Min-Sun left them in the break room to hopefully go back to work, or whatever they were gonna do before she showed up ruining the moment. Min-Sun walked outside the building before realizing she didn't have a ride home. She decided getting a taxi rather than bothering anyone else would probably be the best thing to do, even if Hyunjin would scold her later.
Before she could type in the taxi service number, her phone lit up with a call from Han. She was slightly confused why he was calling especially when she would technically be at work at the moment, but without thinking twice she answered.
"Hello?" She said. She received no response and took the phone away from her ear to see if he were still on the line. She brought the phone back hoping to try again.
"Hannie?" She uses his nickname trying to get a response. This time someone responded but not the voice Min-Sun expected.
"Who is this?" It was a girls voice and one Min-Sun did not recognize. She pulled the phone away again and looked at the number confused. Who was answering Han's phone? Min-Sun brought the phone back up to her ear.
"My name is Min-Sun I'm a friend of Han...and you are?" She said carefully waiting for the other girls response.
"I am Jia. I am...was his girlfriend."
Min-Sun tilted her head confused. This was Han's girlfriend? She sounded very nice and polite, much different from Han's usual playful demeanor.
"Why are you answering Han's phone?" Min-Sun asked out of curiousity. She decided that getting the taxi service was pointless since she seemed like she would be on the phone for a second, so she started walking in the direction of her shared house. Hyunjin would just have to scold her later.
"I told him some news that he didn't respond well to. He wandered off somewhere and I was trying to get a hold of someone and this contact had 'my best friend' so I figured you could help." She could hear Jia sighing over the phone.
Min-Sun ignored the way her heart skipped a beat at the mention of being his best friend. She didn't want to begin to unpack the feelings she had over that.
"You told him some news he didn't like?" Min Sun asked trying to get some clarity on the situation. All she could guess was that they had a pretty serious fight. He probably left his phone after he got upset and went to take a walk. He had a tendency to take a walk whenever he got worked up.
"I broke up with Han." Jia said so casually that Min-Sun almost choked on the breath she had been holding.
