Chapter 3: Kim Wooseok
Chapter theme: AB6IX - Breathe

Yoon Harin

"Han Seungwoo.. Han Seungwoo.. Han Seungwo.."

I can feel my back hurting and I feel so uncomfortable. I stretched my legs when suddenly I heard a loud thud and a broken pot?? I opened my eyes and adjusted them to the light that was striking me.

"What the fu-- phlegm?"

I found myself lying in the doormat of our house on the terrace. And there was a broken pot because I dodged my feet to it. What a nice day! Eomma will be so furious with this. Glad that she isn't home.

Gio, my cutie Siberian dog barked at me inside his dog house. I understand him. He's greeting me a good morning.

"Harin-ah.. what happened to you?" I asked myself and was about to stand up but I halted when my head started to spin.

"I stink of alcohol!!" I hammered my head without any force trying to remember what happened.

My eyes opened widely when I remembered my dream. I was uttering a name. "Ugh! Why can't I even remember? It's almost at the tip of my tongue!!"

With my weak legs, I tried to stand up. Luckily, I didn't trip. I was about to hold the doorknob when I found a sticky note placed there.

Sorry, I put you in an uncomfortable place. There's no one inside your house and I can't open the door. I put vines on your gate so no one won't get inside easily.

P.S You can drop your payment on my bank acct number 2845361097426. By the way, my name is Han Seungwoo.

I moved my right foot backward. Han Seungwoo.. was the name in my dreams! Why does it feel so odd?

A white paper was pinned beside the sticky note. It was a receipt from a taxi. It says I need to pay KR ₩28872.70.

I tried to close my eyes to recall the whole thing I did yesterday. Then a pain struck me when Chan's name crossed my mind. I loathe that stupid guy who broke my heart! But I won't step low just to make my revenge. It's their life so I'll let them be.

"Annyeonghaseyo," the bank's guard greeted me. I smiled to greet him back.

I'm here to pay my debt to that taxi driver. He might sue me for not paying him. He deserves it anyway.

As I finished my transaction, I went to my workplace.

"You're late again Harin!" Our manager who looks like a comedian scolded me. He's so very strict and very difficult to please but his face says otherwise.

"Mianhaeyo gwajangnim.." I said and I slightly bowed my head.

"Make sure you do all your things correctly! You're not the one who will be scolded by our daepyonim okay? The blame will be on me!!"

As usual, our manager is in bad mood again. Together with my officemates, we can't take him seriously because he looks like Lee Sangmin. Maybe because he's a fan of him that's why he also wears specs.

"Yoon Harin, can you please run an errand for me? You should deliver this to a client's house."

Wooseok sunbae handed me a folder. My gosh! Why is he so bossy as if he's the manager? I don't like this guy though he's full of visuals.

"No problem sunbaenim. I'll run this after I finish my work." I told him but he just gave me a stern look.

"It can't wait Harin. You should deliver it immediately now." He said angrily at me and I feel humiliated. I glared at him making him feel that he should not do it to me.

"But I should finish what I'm doing first. Gwajangnim might scold me or worse, he might kick me out of this company literally! And I don't want to have a swollen and bruised face."

Our workmates started to eavesdrop on us. He sensed it that's why he rolled his eyes and turned his back on me.

"Why does it feel that he likes you?" My workmate who's beside me whispered.

"Neo michyeosseo? He's just a hot-tempered guy just like our manager!" I whispered back.

"You should piss him often Harin. He looks ultimately hot when he's pissed. I can see his abs dripped with sweat!" She said dreamingly and I stomped her foot. This girl is crazy.

Well, she got a point. Kim Wooseok is super hot. Everyone thought that he can be an actor who could make everyone's heart flutter.

I glanced at Wooseok sunbae who's drinking water now. I gulped as I watched how he drink so sexily like he was a model of Pocari Sweat. I saw how his adam's apple moved and I already forgot the heartbreak Chan gave me yesterday. Gosh, am I crushing on him? Jeoldae andwae!

My brow arched when I found out that some of my workmates are focusing on Wooseok who's drinking water.

This kind of man should not be in this kind of work because he's causing delays and disturbance. Handsome guys like him should have an office alone so we won't be gaping at him.

Our souls escaped when gwajangnim slammed his table.

"Kim Wooseok, if you want to drink water you should do it privately because you're disturbing your officemates! And the rest of you, don't be swayed. HE WILL NEVER BE YOURS!!!"

We tried to hide our laughter. Our gwajangnim is rude.

Wooseok just acted as if nothing happened. If I know he's flattered and tried to act humbly. Guys like him should be avoided. They can make a girl's heart torn into pieces!

He was suddenly behind me and I was a bit surprised. "I'll be the one to deliver it." I handed the folder silently to him and he made his way out.

"Something's going on between you two. He's acting differently." I just ignored what my workmate said and I focused on finishing my work.

How can she say he likes me? It's too impossible and dreamy.
