Scarce Tenderness

1.

Sunoo stood before this huge building where he'll be working starting today, contented at heart as all his hard work paid off.

"Halmoni I made it... "

From now on he'll be able to afford enough money to pay the bills and lead a decent life. He had nothing but sleepless nights to balance his study life and work life as he used to take part time jobs working straight for seven hours after classes and all . As he proceeded to the building his excitement grew internally , though he was all nervous at the same time.

On his way to the building he found everyone in better off office outfits. Before them he felt so small as they all looked unblemished . As of now he is not in a place to even dream of such clothings . He bought like five appealing shirts including the one he was wearing for office wear. Right then he doesn't want to invite any more insecurities and moved on.

Sunoo went to the manager's office to fill in some details where he arranged for one Mr. Yang Jungwon, who was a very polite and friendly person, to guide him on his first day of work . Later he was introduced to the group of staff he'll be working with.

The cabin which is made of smooth expensive fibre caught his eyes. Him from two years back would be in disbelief if he tells that this is gonna be his regular place of work from now on. He was so glad that he got a job in this highly reputed company of Lee's Corporation because of course others won't be providing certain facilities to third tier employees like here.

His thoughts were interrupted by Mr.Yang saying,
"You'll definitely love it here bud, just be on time. And always feel free to call my desk or meet me on my cabin there the left most -* pointing his fingers at it *- to enquire on any possible doubts. I'll try my best to clarify everything. Gimme your phone. "

Sunoo handed him his phone.

"You don't keep a lock screen??!! "

"Ahh... No there's not much in it. " As he was speaking he watched how the other's fingers tapped across the screen.

He handed it back and said,
"here I've saved my personal number as "Jungwon☺". There's no need to be nervous around me or our coworkers. As I mentioned earlier just be on time and complete your works within the deadline as our CEO is very strict at that . By the way call me Jungwon no need to bring formalities between us , we're around the same age anyway . See you.."

"Of course... See you then.. "

He placed his stuff in his cabin and started to go through the protocol he was asked to. The training period was already over last week so he gets to work from day one.

Sunoo didn't check the time passing by until he felt a tap on his shoulder . He turned his head to find a handsome man beaming at him saying,

"Hey new pretty guy... guess you didn't notice but it's lunch time already. You did even miss the alarm... that focused ??"

Sunoo blushed a little at the comment and replied, "I heard it but it would be done in a few minutes.. so..."

The other leaned on the desk and said "I'm Lee Felix by the way. Heard you're one of the youngest in this wing.....
As far as I've observed I found that you tend to go so silent and shy ."
Yearning a small nod from Sunoo he continued
"Your good name please?? "

" I'm Kim Sunoo. Nice to meet you Felixssi..."

"Just call me by my name I'm really not into honorifics ... "

" Your voice is really deep hyung?!... "

"You think so?? I get that a lot...
.... Now come on Sunooya we can get our lunch together and then I'll introduce you to my friend circle."
