Chapter 10

Ji Eun Timjang-nim stood in front of me, her hands on her hips. She was clearly going to scold me again...

"Mi Yeong! Where is the box of supplies that I told you to give to Mun Syuk Timjang-nim??!"

"B-Box?"

~Flashback~

I looked back at the girl who just crashed into me to see her panicking.

"I'M SORRY. ARE YOU ALRIGHT??"

"It's ok." I reassured her with a smile.

"I'm really sorry!! H-H-ere I-I'll carry that for you! T-This goes to Mun Syuk Timjang-nim right? I-I'll g-go for you!"

Instantly, she took the heavy box out of my hands.

"It's really ok-" I managed to mutter out before she bowed and dashed away.

~End~

"Ohhhhhhh right... the box................. yea?"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YEA? WE CAN'T FIND IT!"

"...Mun Syuk Timjang-nim doesn't have it?"

Ji Eun's expressions somehow turned cold. "It doesn't matter about Mun Syuk right now, you need to find it."

"But-"

She shook her head before turning to me again.

"HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO THE PHOTO SHOOT IF WE DON'T HAVE THE COMPONENTS?ARE YOU GOING TO PAY FOR IT?!"

"I-I..."

Employees started to gather around me, each whispering and gossiping.

"Isn't she the one who yawned during the first day?"

"She's so irresponsible."

"She's going to get fired..."

I lowered my head in embarrassment. I didn't want to tell Ji Eun Timjang-nim about the girl who actually took the box. I was the one at fault anyway...

"Ji Eun!!"

I looked behind me to see Min Jun running up to me.

Ugh. Why is Mr Jun's son here? Now Mr Jun will probably kick me out from the MIN company too...

I stood stiffly, but to feel a hand on my shoulder, leaning me against Min Jun's chest.

"Come on Ji Eun. Maybe she wasn't the one at fault, perhaps someone accidentally took it? Don't blame it on Mi Young, just for me please?" He smiled at Ji Eun Timjang-nim.

"Min Jun! She lost it!"

"Ji Eun Timjang-nim, please? Maybe we'll find it?"

"But- ... fine... but if we can't find it, the girl's getting fired." The female before me sighed and walked away.

The ring of employees eventually disbanded and Min Jun looked at me.

"Mi Young...?"

"Huh?" I was still lost in my thoughts, still trying to remember who the girl was that took the box from me.

"Do you remember where you put it?"

"I don't know..."

"You didn't give it to anyone else?"

"I-I d-didn't" I stumbled over my words.

"Ok. Well I'll help you with it."

"Huh?'

"You're gonna get fired if you don't find it Mi Young. So let's make the best use of the time." He smiled at me.

"Thank you..."

***

I sat down, panting and sweating. Min Jun sat down beside me.

"You sure you don't remember?" He asked

"Y-Yea..."

"Woah. We've been searching for 2 hours..."

"I'll be kicked out then I guess." I laughed hopelessly.

"You won't."

"Min Jun."

"Yea?"

"Where's Mun Syuk Timjang-nim?"

"Why do you ask that?" Min Jun's expressions also turned cold.

"I didn't see him since the last 2 days..."

"...He was found dead..." Min Jun took his voice down to a whisper.

"What?!"

"The company is working on it. It might be the exact same person who killed the teenager. The blade cuts were identical."

I looked down.

"You've still got to be alert and careful Mi Young. Especially from Jungkook. We're trying to find evidence if it was him."

I nodded. 

I sighed before asking a question to cheer up the mood.

"Min Jun. Are you close with Ji Eun Timjang-nim?"

"Close? I guess so. Why?" He turned to me.

"I'm pretty sure everyone realised that you dropped the honorifics a while ago when you were talking to her." I chuckled.

"I did?! Woops." He grinned. "We're both team leaders, I guess we don't talk formally."

"Even though you're younger than her?"

"Yea."

Wait... 

"Yep. I'm actually older than you." He said.

"I've been talking informally to you the entire time."

"Haha. Don't worry."

"Well, now that I know that you're a team leader, should I call you Min Jun Timjang-nim?"

"Nah. How about oppa?"

"Oppa?"

"Yea." He smiled.

A staff suddenly called Min Jun.

"Oh sorry, I have to go. Talk to you another time Mi Young! Hope you find it!!" He rushed away.

"Bye Min Jun!"

"It's oppa!!" He yelled.

I laughed while slouching back into the chair that I was sitting in. Staring at my white shoes, I thought about what will happen if I actually got fired. My attention was attracted to someone who was standing in front of me.

Her short pink skirt stood out. I looked up to see the same girl that bumped into me the other day. The same girl who took the supply box that I was meant to deliver.

And in her hands.

Was the exact same box.
