Touch your Heart

VII.

"HYEWON!" There have been multiple calls for her ever since Jisung has arrived in her house however Hyewon seems to be missing and it is driving him insane. "HYEWO-" He isn't able to finish calling for her name as he sees her lying down on hee library table, using her arms as a pillow. "Hyewon, wake up!"

With a single tug of her on her shoulder Hyewon jolt awake, messy hair and arm marks on her cheek. In her attempt to compose herself and stretch after the sleep she has on the table, the sudden movement causes her to stop midway and she groans in pain as she can't rotate her head. To add more to her problem, her arms feel too numb to move and just a small movement is enough to hurt her and make her wince. This alarms her manager, seeing and hearing that Hyewon is hurting.

"Are you okay?" His voice is laced with concern, at the same time he tries to help her.

"No..." Hyewon looks at him with sorrow written in her face, this little discomfort she's feeling might lead to her breaking down. She can feel her tears filling up her eyes as she understands how much trouble she's in.

"Don't cry! Come on, just stay there for a while and ease yourself before you make any move." Jisung then sighs at the sight of her, she looks like she's really about to cry. "Why did you even sleep here? You've never been here ever since who knows when."

"Well, I need to be a perfect secretary... What time is it anyway?" Hyewon's voice sounds so miserable.

"Seven twenty-two. You still have time to prepare for everything." Jisung said as he glanced at his phone to check on the time.

"I don't know about that, my arms are still numb and my neck still hurts... I don't know how long before I can move properly..." In an attempt, Hyewon moves her arms, somehow it doesn't bother her that much until she tries to move her head, her neck feels stiff due to her sleeping position. She sighs deeply.

•=============================•

Clacking of heels resonated around the hallway, Hyewon is in a rush, hoping that for her second day she's not late, again, not desiring for another hate towards her. As she steps inside the firm, she rushes towards her office but not forgetting to greet everyone with a good morning. In everyone's eyes, only a day has passed and it seems like Hyewon has changed a lot, her outfit, her attitude, and her actions.

As she makes it inside her office, a glance to another room and no presence of Yongwoo has met her eyes. Mentally, Hyewon cheered knowing that even though she's a few minutes late she won't get an earful because she's the first to arrive in between them. She removes her identity cover such as her sunglasses, mask, and scarf.

Without Yongwoo's existence, Hyewon seizes the opportunity and time to learn more about the basics of being a secretary. She reaches for Haeyoung for some assistance with her work, which surprisingly she accepts.

"Then press okay." Hyewon muttered as she looked at the machine, she cautiously clicked the button and saw the progress of her efforts. "Thank you, Haeyoung-ssi!"

"No problem. I do have one request though, can you tell me the cosmetics you use, some time later?"

"It's-" Hyewon stops her words when Haeyoung leaves her to get back to her stand. "Okay." Then she smiles after seeing the paper she photocopied.

Right after her success she heads back to her office to try one more task that she failed yesterday. She picks up her phone from her table and directly goes to call, dialing the line. As she presses the call button, the telephone in her office rings immediately.

Her eyes wander at the telephone, preparing herself to click a series of buttons to forward the call from her line to Yongwoo's telephone line. As her telephone rings, she immediately lifts it up and answers.
