Chapter 219:
Chapter 219
There was a way to get there faster, if he only thought about it properly.
That was what Yoo-hyun had in mind.
Maeng Gi Yong, his senior who hadn’t thought that far yet, said.
“Well, yeah. The circuit is one thing, but the panel is…”
“That’s true.”
Yoo-hyun nodded as he spoke.
It was then that Yun Gi Chun, his senior with a flushed face, approached him.
“Hey, Han Yoo-hyun, you did that on purpose, right?”
“What are you talking about?”
“The schedule, the schedule. There was nothing like that in the data you sent me.”
“I sent it before the presentation.”
“Hey. You should have told me if you sent it.”
Yoo-hyun chuckled at the obvious excuse.
“You could have checked your email.”
“What?”
“Don’t do this, and talk to me for a moment.”
Yoo-hyun suggested, and Yun Gi Chun turned his head.
There were many eyes around them.
Yun Gi Chun spoke loudly.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes, sir.”
Then Maeng Gi Yong intervened.
“Yun senior, this is…”
“Hey, Maeng Gi Yong. You butt in when you need to.”
Yoo-hyun reassured Maeng Gi Yong.
“It’s okay. I’m just going to talk for a moment.”
“…”
Maeng Gi Yong looked at Yoo-hyun with a worried expression.
A momentter, Yoo-hyun said in the hallway.
“Yun senior, the ce we talked aboutst time was quiet and nice.”
“…”
“Follow me.”
ng.
Yoo-hyun opened the emergency stairway door and went up half a floor.
It was the ce where he had shed with himst time.
Maybe he remembered that, Yun Gi Chun hesitated for a moment.
But in the end he followed Yoo-hyun up.
His pride was more important than his fear.
In the space between the second and third floors of the emergency stairway, Yoo-hyun faced Yun Gi Chun.
Yoo-hyun smirked at him with a venomous expression.
“Yun senior, please continue what you were saying earlier.”
“You, what are you relying on to do this?”
“Do what? If someone hears you, they might think I did something wrong.”
“Don’t y with words. You don’t see anything because your team leader is covering for you, right?”
“That’s not possible.”
Yoo-hyun shrugged his shoulders, and Yun Gi Chun clenched his teeth.
“Do you think I can’t make you suffer?”
“You can do whatever you want.”
Yoo-hyun spat out nonchntly, and Yun Gi Chun finally exploded.
“Huh. You, do you want to quit your job? Huh?”
“If you can do it.”
“You bastard.”
He even reached out to grab Yoo-hyun’s cor.
People should learn from their experiences.
But Yun Gi Chun had none of that when he lost his reason.
Yoo-hyun pped away his hand and punched the wall with his fist.
Bang.
The wall shook loudly from his strength.
Yoo-hyun red fiercely at Yun Gi Chun who flinched.
“Do you really think I’m a pushover when I’m quiet?”
“…”
“Do you want me to really make you quit? Do you want to see how it ends?”
“…”
Thump.
Yoo-hyun took a step closer to him with a fierce look in his eyes.
Yun Gi Chun’s face turned pale as he was cornered to the end of the wall.
He swallowed his fear and didn’t know what to do.
Thud.
Yoo-hyun put one hand on the wall next to his face and said.
“Yun senior, I’m here to change this rotten team.”
“…”
“If you weren’t going to do it properly, you shouldn’t havee. Right?”
“Th-that’s…”
Yoo-hyun ignored the trembling voice of his senior, Yun Gi Chun, and spoke in a low tone.
“Let’s work at thepany. Don’t waste your energy on useless things.”
“…”
“Then you wouldn’t have to blush like this. Right?”
“…”
Yun Gi Chun turned his head away when Yoo-hyun red at him.
Yoo-hyun grabbed his chin with his other hand and kindly turned it back.
He felt his trembling chin in his fingertips.
Yoo-hyun looked straight into Yun Gi Chun’s eyes.
“If you cross the line one more time…”
He then tapped the wall with his other hand and said.
“I’ll really smash you. Do you understand?”
“…”
“Do you understand?”
“I-I got it… okay.”
Yun Gi Chun waspletely stiffened.
After that, he avoided Yoo-hyun’s eyes.
He even hid when he ran into him in the bathroom.
The people didn’t know what had happened between them.
They just guessed from the situation.
He’s a troublemaker.
That was the image of Yoo-hyun that was imprinted in everyone’s minds.
Then, a man looked at Yoo-hyun with sharp eyes.
It was Hong Hyuk Soo, the leader of the second part.
He, who had been quiet until then, shed his eyes.
Just wait until I catch you once.
He was eyeing Yoo-hyun.
The checklist that Yoo-hyun made was distributed to the whole team by the team leader.
The reaction of the team members who saw it was astonishment itself.
“Crazy. How are we supposed to do this?”
“It’s like telling us to stay up all night.”
“It’s doable, but too tight.”
Everyone was worried about the schedule.
But Maeng Gi Yong, who had been looking at the data carefully, had a different thought.
He muttered, putting aside his pride.
“This is much better.”
It wasn’t just a random remark.
At least now the project had a direction.
They didn’t have to waste their time guessing the team leader’s mind anymore.
That was what he had always wanted.
How was this possible?
Maeng Gi Yong turned his head and looked at Yoo-hyun.
He gave a hollowugh at the sight of Yoo-hyun, who was only looking at the monitor screen calmly.
“What’s in that guy’s head?”
Yoo-hyun looked over the schedule he had made again.
It was praised by Director Go Jun Ho, but it wasn’t perfect.
There were parts where the numbers were wrong, and parts where the order had to be changed.
It was impossible for Yoo-hyun to do it alone.
What he had made was a kind of framework.
The application from now on was up to the people in charge.
Yoo-hyun believed that they could do it well enough.
He was thinking about the remaining tasks with that belief.
Swoosh.
Maeng Gi Yong approached him.
His face was full of worries.
He opened his mouth with difficulty.
“Yoo-hyun, are you free tonight?”
“Sure.”
“Then, do you want to have a drink?”
“Yes, that sounds good.”
He had been waiting for those words, so Yoo-hyun agreed readily.
Maeng Gi Yong nodded towards Lee Jin Mok, who was on his right side.
“Lee will go too.”
“What about Kim?”
“Seon Dong doesn’t drink much.”
“I see.”
Yoo-hyun nodded his head as he looked at the empty seat next to him.
Maeng Gi Yong patted Yoo-hyun’s back lightly.
“Then let’s see youter.”
“Yes, I got it.”
Yoo-hyun answered brightly.
It was after the end-of-work music rang.
They couldn’t leave on time since the work had fallen on their feet.
Everyone went to have dinner as soon as the bell rang, thinking they would have to work overtime.
Maeng Gi Yong took advantage of the gap and slipped out.
Lee Jin Mok was with him.
For them, it was like a break today.
Yoo-hyun followed them and asked.
“Maeng, are you sure it’s okay to go like this?”
“We’ll have to work hard tomorrow anyway.”
“That’s a good mindset.”
“Thanks for thepliment.”
Yoo-hyun chuckled at his words.
They felt quite pleasant, even though they were nothing special.
The three of them took the bus and headed to the nearby downtown.
The ce they arrived at was a pub.
It was perfect for having a beer and a meal, as the side dishes were pretty good.
Lee Jin Mok, who was next to Yoo-hyun, asked him as he sat down.
“Yoo-hyun, is this your first time here?”
“Yes, it is.”
As Yoo-hyun answered, Maeng Gi Yong, who was sitting across from him, gave him a jab.
“Why are you asking such an obvious question?”
“I was just wondering.”
“Yoo-hyun hasn’t been in Ulsan for long. And this ce isn’t that famous either.”
“Yeah, yeah, I get it. Let’s order something.”
Yoo-hyun smiled as he watched the two bicker.
It was obvious that they were trying to break the awkwardness.
There was no way to ease the awkward atmosphere.
As always, alcohol was the best.
Yoo-hyun took the initiative and held out his ss.
“Come on, let’s have a drink.”
“Haha. Yoo-hyun, you drink well too?”
“Do I?”
Maeng Gi Yong unknowingly called Yoo-hyun by his name instead of his title.
When Yoo-hyun asked back, he smiled with a flushed face and answered.
“I thought you were a straightced person because you always said the right things.”
“Hey, I’m not that stiff.”
Yoo-hyun smiled warmly and clinked sses with him.
ng.
As soon as the ss was empty, Yoo-hyun raised his hand with a sh.
“Another round?”
“Really?”
“Of course. Auntie, three more sses and some more side dishes please.”
“Hahaha. This guy is really crazy.”
“I’m the type who goes all the way once I start.”
Whether the two were surprised or not, Yoo-hyun ordered more drinks.
Thanks to that, the atmosphere became much lighter.
As they got closer to each other, honest stories came out naturally.
Maeng Gi Yongmented about the team.
“Our team wasn’t like this before…”
“It’s because of the change in charge.”
“And this leader too.”
Lee Jin Mok chimed in, and Maeng Gi Yong added more.
But Yoo-hyun didn’t think so.
He was about to go along with them, but he decided to spill his true feelings with the help of alcohol.
“I think you should have spoken up strongly from below.”
“They don’t listen even if we do. What can we do?”
Maeng Gi Yong asked back and Yoo-hyun countered.
“Hasn’t it changed a bit now?”
“Well, yeah.”
He couldn’t deny it because it wasn’t wrong.
Yoo-hyun didn’t think Maeng Gi Yong did anything wrong.
He must have tried his best, but the environment didn’t support him.
It wasn’t easy for a team member to speak up against the leader.
No one wanted to suffer even a small disadvantage for themselves.
Yoo-hyun held out his ss towards him, who lookedplicated.
“Sir, maybe I’m saying this easily because I’m on secondment.”
“No. Actually, you know what? Hmm…”
Maeng Gi Yong trailed off as he drank his alcohol with a thoughtful look on his face.
Then he opened his mouth after a while.
“I was going to make an excuse, but honestly, I think I wascking.”
“Don’t say that.”
Yoo-hyun shook his hand and this time Lee Jin Mok stepped in.
“If you’recking, then I’m totally worthless.”
“Why are you saying that?”
“I felt like dying when I saw Yoo-hyun cleaning up the warehouse.”
“…”
Yoo-hyun felt a sudden ticklish feeling and silently drank his ss without saying anything.
He didn’t like it.
It felt like they would keep pushing him like this.
