36. That guy is you
Jiheon, who was quietly staring at noon, reacted late, like an old smartphone with severe buffering.
"... ... Tasting of new products."
"... ... ."
"Isn't this why Assistant Manager came here too?"
It felt like I was dreaming without falling asleep, somehow.
I couldn't say that I somehow ended up here without my knowledge. She didn't want to seem like such a fierce man to this woman.
Jiheon tried to ignore the déjà vu he felt in an unfamiliar neighborhood and faced her with an emotionless expression.
"Yes, but why are you here?"
Jiheon had no way of knowing that Noon had this expectation.
"It was a short distance, so I got off in the middle."
"... ... why? "Why here?"
"I said I would walk because it was cramped in the car, and the driver dropped me off in front of here."
Her eyes sank darkly at his calm answer. Because it wasn't the answer she was expecting.
"What is happening here, Assistant Manager Lee Jeong-oh? "The tasting room must be a bit far from here."
"I went to university near here. "I was thinking about old times, so I took a walk."
Her eyes looked sad the whole time. Ji-heon decided that she was probably holding on to the sorrow of yesterday.
I don't care about your lies. I wanted to say that it has been that way from the beginning and that it is still that way now.
"What about dinner?"
"yes?"
"Have you eaten?"
"no. yet."
"Shall we eat together? "I'm before dinner too."
"I heard you were going to a tasting party."
Jiheon closed his mouth with a blank expression.
My goal from the beginning was Lee Jeong-oh, so as soon as I was reunited with her, I immediately erased the tasting session from my mind.
Noon glanced at him hesitantly and took out his cell phone. The exact location of the tasting room was not known even at noon. I thought it would be a good idea to go while looking at the map.
After checking the map, Noon pointed to the right.
"You can go this way. "Director."
Noon guided and took the lead, but Jiheon did not follow. He stood there silently and took out his cell phone.
Noon walked a few steps and then stopped.
"Aren't you coming?"
"for a moment. "I keep getting contacted because I have a lot of work to do."
Jiheon seemed to be sending a text message to someone.
Noon was the first to see a person whose thumbs on both hands moved so quickly. His quick hand movements were noticeable even from afar.
I thought that if the age of the thumb was measured separately, this man could be estimated to be in his teens.
But even so, the wait was long. He seemed very busy.
"If you're busy, shall I go first?"
"no."
As I sighed and turned my head, my phone vibrated at noon. Soon after his flashy thumb completed his mission.
