Discussing the work with the staffs, they all gathered around the rectangular table in the meeting room. And it comes to an end when manager turns his attention towards Kyungsoo, since she's new to the section.
"Do you think you can handle these responsibilities I gave you, miss Kyungsoo?"
Kyungsoo became nervous at the cold stares given by her cold manager which made her mind froze.
"I....um.."
she stuttered and didn't know how to answer for a moment. It was all new to her and honestly harder than she thought. Maybe his manger's attitude turned the wheels to that side.
However, lee jong suk who sat in front of her turned to her side and gave her a 'don't you dare say no' look. He was secretly helping to make her smile and be at ease.

Kyungsoo noticed his cute angry look and smiled as she finally blurted something out to break the awkward glances given at her.
"Sure sir. Don't worry about it!" She said followed by a shy chuckle.
Not moving his eyes away from her. Minseok gestured for others to leave and that the meeting has ended. His eyes still fixed at the wide eyed embarrassed Kyungsoo. He seemed to talk to her through his eyes. Every time she tried to break the eye contact, she would think that he wants to tell her something, But he didn't.
Fortunately, someone else had to do that.
"Look at you two, gazing into each other's eyes"
jong suk interfered with a slight of smirk on his lips. No matter how many times Kyungsoo denied it he still managed to tease her, even more. Then minseok flatly replyed to Kyungsoo.
"Your eyes are red" and with that he left the room quietly.
"I doubt he even knows my name"
Kyungsoo sighed and pouts when the manager gave her the cold shoulders. But not that he was wrong. Kyungsoo barely sleeps nowadays. Her anxiety won't let her mind alone and she always has this feeling, that someone is aware of her every move. Just then jong suk took a few steps towards Kyungsoo.
"Why don't you try staring at me instead, and tell me what's bothering you?"
He gave a devilish smile, but somehow the smile seems to say 'you don't want to mess with me'.
For a second Kyungsoo looked puzzled and couldn't tell whether his intention was for good or not.
"Hey relax! I'm not gonna bite. Well, I think I can only say that you can talk to me whenever you feel like talking to someone and....see you later." He chuckled and left the meeting room happily.
She was surprised that he noticed something was wrong with her and was kinda glad that he offered his kindness. But of course she just took that as a note and shouldn't tell her weaknesses to people who she just met. Not after testing them.
