Just Like Before [Pinocchio]

The next day has started again as the 5 of you were sitting at a table. Dal Po was still busy with the shredded paper. You guys started gossiping about the project you all needed to work on alone. Or at least that was what you thought.

"Today is the day they let us know at which police station we are going to be stationed right?" The bigger man asked while holding a pen inside his hand.

"Ah." The other male colleague answered politely.

"But then.. the person who will probably go into the Han River line under Chief Rigid is currently Choi Dal Po, right?" Yoo Rae asked, hoping for reassurance since she's still creeped out.

"Unless.. the case changed." A female colleague mentioned. You frown while looking at her.

"What do you mean?"

"He ditched work yesterday, it contributed a lot."

"I feel so bad... he seems to work very hard.." Yoo Rae sighed softly.

"Still, he asked for it." You scoffed while all of your looks were pointed at him. Just at that moment he walked up towards the 5 of you.

"The captain didn't come yet, right?" Dal Po asked while he looked pretty tired, it gave you a boost if energy but you could control it just in time. Yoo Rae hummed as responding.

"Did you just finish?" She asked curiously.

"I stayed up for two nights.." he replied while stretching his shoulder, nearly bumping it into yours. You hissed underneath your breath while moving your chair a little.

"Did you prepare for the Ma Wa Ri? Did you buy hot packs?" She questioned further.

"Why hot packs?"

Is this guy serious?

You chuckled softly while the others sighed.

"What are we going to do with you?" Yoo Rae mentioned upset.

"Hot packs are a must in the Ma Wa Ri." You explained, earning a gaze from him.

"I have some for reserve, but I don't know..." you pouted a little as he kept looking at you with confusion. You took your bag and opened it, handing him some.

"My mom always gives me some extra so I can... help othersㅡ" you kinda lied while he took them with mixed emotions. The bigger man took out some bars and sighed softly before handing one over to him.
