After 1 week:

[Jeonghan was finally returning to the office today. The atmosphere felt the same, yet everything inside him had shifted. He hadn't heard a single word from Joshua since that day. Not a text, not a call. Nothing.]

Han:

He really hasn't contacted me... Does he truly believe I'd ever use him?

[The thought echoed bitterly in his chest.]

Wonu:

It's alright. I think... maybe he just needs more time.

[Wonwoo paused , trying to lighten the mood as he speak again.]

Wonu:

By the way, did you see the new president?

Han:

No.

Wonu:

Well, we'll meet him today anyway. I caught a glimpse of him earlier. Honestly, he's even cuter....and more handsome....than Joshua.

Han:

Shut up already. Don't talk nonsense. Here.

Wonu:

What's this?

[Jeonghan handed over a pen drive and a small stack of files.]

Han:

For the presentation. You handle it. Everything you need is on that drive and in those files.

[He sighed, his voice quieter.]

Han:

I'm feeling dizzy all of a sudden. I don't think I can manage it. Everything's already moving slowly because of me. No need to delay it any further.

Wonu:

But...

Han:

Just go. I'll be fine after a quick nap. Just go, okay?

[Wonwoo looked at him for a moment....hesitant, concerned....but said nothing. He took the files silently and walked away, leaving Jeonghan alone with his thoughts and the ache in his chest that wouldn't go away.]

......

Meeting Room:

Wonu:

Hey, everyone.

Seok:

Where's Jeonghan? He's not coming? He's the head of this project, if I'm not wrong.

Wonu:

Yeah, he was supposed to. But he started feeling dizzy all of a sudden. Said he didn't want to slow things down more than he already has. So I'll be presenting on his behalf today.

Seok:

Alright, then.

Joshua:

Is he... okay?

[Joshua asked softly, his concern barely veiled behind his professional tone.]

Wonu:

You don't need to worry about him, sir. It's just a headache. He'll be fine after some rest.

[He paused, then added, his voice sharp]

Wonu:

No one believes him anyway... so maybe it's just another lie. Like his feelings.
