TWELVE: ENCOUNTERS

The day ended and mr Lee entered my office. "Jiyeon?" He looked around and gave me a smile. I pointed towards the couch and she was there passed out. Mr Lee paused for a second before waking Jiyeon up. "Wake up, it's time to go." He said. Jiyeon didn't seem to wake up and just shifted to the other side, resuming her nap. "How long as she been like this?" He asked me.

I looked at the clock, "almost an hour." Mr Lee continued to wake her up and he eventually won. Jiyeon eventually stood up and she looked like a mess. Her clothes were wrinkled and her hair that used to be in a low ponytail was now scattered everywhere. "You might want to wash up." Mr Lee suggested but she didn't seem to care. "Thank you again, mr Shin. We'll be taking our leave now." Mr Lee waved goodbye.

"Are you still staying?" Jiyeon asked me before she left the room. I nodded, "yeah." She raised a brow, "why?" I took a while, "I just need to finish this. It won't take long, plus it's rush hours so I'll just sit this one out." She looked at the clock, "it's way pass rush hours though."

"I'm used to this." I stretched. She sighed, "whatever." Jiyeon then closes the door and leave me alone. I looked at my laptop's screen and continued to work.

After around 10 minutes, "Wonho," I turned around and saw Hyungkyun with stacks and stacks of files. "What is it?" I asked. He sighed and started mumbling something under his breath as if he was ashamed of something. "I can't hear you."

"I need your help." He spoke a little louder but I decided to play a game. "I can't seem to hear you--" He groaned loudly, "I NEED YOUR HELP!" He snapped and yelled. I noticed how red he turned and couldn't help but let out a small laugh before containing myself.

"I need you to go with me to my place and help me carry these files." I looked at him with a stack of folders on his hands with a questioning look. He sighed and placed the files he was holding on my desk and opened the door, revealing five rolling carts filled with files. My mouth dropped at the sight cause these carts weren't even small to begin with.

"You see why?" He said defeated.

We both surprisingly managed to fit everything inside Hyungkyun's car even though it took 80% of his car space. I was about to head back in but he stopped me. "Where do you think you're going?" He asked me. "Inside? I have work to finish." He folded his arms, "you said you'd help me."

"I did." I replied. "Do you really expect me to take all these files out one by one into my apartment?" I nodded with a raised brow, "yeah?" He gave me an angry look. "What do you want me to do then?"

"Go with me to my place then help me place the files inside my place. That's it." He explained. "Do I have to? I literally still have files to finish."

There I was, inside his car heading to his place. The ride was silent and awkward since we both hardly talk out of work and it's usually just short since our conversations always revolve around him complaining about me.

He eventually just cleared his throat, "so.." I sighed, "you just made this ten times awkward." 

"Why are you making it sound as if it's my fault?" I gave him a look, "excuse me? Who dragged me here to begin with--" he cuts me off, "fine, fine. I'll take that. Can we just not be this awkward right now?"

"What did you expect? Literally the only conversations we've had is only about work and about you complaining." He scoffed, "there you go again, making it sound as if it's my fault." I rolled my eyes and decided not to reply to that. "Why so many files anyway?"

Hyungkyun sighed, "I have no idea to be honest. But I need to finish these tomorrow afternoon." 

"Why didn't you just start a while ago?" I asked. "I did, Wonho. The moment it was assigned to me. Believe it or not I've been doing these all day and only managed to finish like 2 and a half carts. "Why so many?"
