.....
"Someone stole my bike," It was shocking to know that sang-ah commuted to work on a bicycle because she couldn't find time to work out.
Dok-ja and Sang-ah talked some more before they started looking at their phones.
'She is surely different than me, The more I talk to her the more amazing she seems, no wonder so many men are head over heels for her,' Dok-ja thought as the train stopped at one of the stations and people walked inside the passenger car.
"Hey isn't that Development Team Leader Tsugikuni-ssi," Sang-ah noticed a familiar person walk into the subway. Dok-ja turned his head and saw a handsome young man with long red hair wearing a red overcoat with a black undershirt and pants along with black formal shoes.
'It really is him,' Dok-ja visibly tried to erase himself so that he doesn't get noticed. It wasn't that he hated the person that came in but….well it was something that was hard to explain.
But it didn't look like things will go like he wanted them to be, because even if Sang-ah spoke slowly it looked like Haru noticed them and walked over with a friendly smile.
"It is quite a surprise meeting you two here Sang-ah-ssi and Dok-ja-ssi," To Dok-ja's dismay Haru recognized him even though they have only talked a few times.
"It is," Sang-ah said with a smile and Dok-ja nodded.
Haru looked between the two a few times while blinking.
'He is misunderstanding something, Isn't he?' Dok-ja sweated, he had nothing against Haru. If anything he kind of respected him since Haru was a team leader at the age of 24 and he had worked on most of their company's best games.
He was highly popular among the ladies and the guys as well. Everyone liked him and sees him with respect but….
"Is there something going on I wonder?" Haru asked with an impish smile.
As you can see this guy was too childish.
"Ah! It was a coincidence that we met on the subway right Dok-ja-ssi?" Sang-ah spoke quickly.
'You don't have to deny it that fast,' Dok-ja was crying in his heart, it looked like even the beauty of Mino-soft couldn't escape from Haru's clutches.
"Yes, Sang-Ah-ssi was taking the subway because her bike was stolen," Dok-ja said and he saw Haru's expression turn to a serious one.
"Sang-ah-ssi can you tell me more about that," Haru asked and Sang-ah nodded telling him about what happened. Haru listened to her and said he'll talk with security tomorrow to have them check the cameras.
This was also one of the reasons Haru was so well-liked, He was childish and spoke what he thought, but when it came to working he was more serious than anyone. This was how he was able to become a Team leader after just one year of coming into the company and made more than 15 games in the last two years with 3 being his own ideas.
He was a kind person that respected his co-workers unlike some people in his company and was a fun person to be around. But…..
'He is too bright for me who likes to dwell in the darkness,' Dok-ja sighed heavily as Haru gave him a smile, But he had to admit Haru looked Handsome.
On the matter of good looks, Haru was someone who was really popular with female employees. one would expect him to be surrounded by love letters every day, but no one tried to make a move on him.
'It was because of the shadow, And no I am not talking about his dark past or something, I am talking about a literal shadow that is beside him even now,' Dok-ja thought.
"Should I call security to check the cameras now?" A woman who was standing beside Haru since the start asked.
"There is no need to trouble yourself Queresha-ssi," Sang-ah said waving her hands, she didn't want to trouble the two she was planning on going to check things tomorrow anyway.
Queresha Calistria or The shadow (Nickname given by fellow employees), she was Haru's secretary and was always with him like a shadow. She joined the company at the same time and had been the shadow since. There were rumors that Queresha has been Haru's shadow since the two were children. It is still unconfirmed though (The employees believe it).
She was also the center of attention because of her looks, she surpassed Sang-ah in beauty and had this mature charm to her which had all the men trying to win her over.
'Too bad she never had any interest in anyone else,' Dok-ja thought as he looked between Haru and Queresha.
'Wasn't there a rumor that these two were going out?' Dok-ja tried to remember the exact rumor he heard but couldn't remember all of it.
"Well it looks like Sang-ah-ssi will settle it herself," Haru said with a shrug.
"I suppose," Queresha didn't push further.
"Also sorry I couldn't join the gym even after Haru-ssi gave me the discount coupon," Sang-ah said with an apologetic look.
"There is no need to worry about that, I was just passing them out cause I happen to get some," Haru waved it off since it wasn't that important.
'Come to think of it, didn't I get one as well?' Dok-ja focused on his smartphone so that he doesn't get involved. one can already guess what he did with the coupon.
"Didn't Haru-ssi leave in a car before? how come you are on the subway?" Sang-ah asked curiously.
"Our car broke down it was a problem with the engine, it was quite a hassle so we had to take the subway," Haru said with a sigh.
'I should've been more careful, having Dear go on a subway, I am a failure, I need to improve,' Queresha felt bad because of her negligence (It isn't her job to take care of the car) something like this happen.
"Today is quite strange isn't it?" Sang-ah spoke absentmindedly, first her bike was stolen and she had to use the subway then Haru's car broke down causing him to use the subway as well.
"I think so as well," Haru agreed with a laugh.
With the seat next to Sang-ah becoming vacant Queresha sat down on it with Haru beside her.
"puede prestarme dinero."
'Sang-ah-ssi really works hard, doesn't she?' Dok-ja looked at sang-ah after hearing her speak in what he assumed was a foreign language.
"Sangah-ssi is learning Spanish?" Haru asked with intrigue.
"Yes, I learn in my free time," Sang-ah said with a smile.
"That is very admirable," Haru nodded.
"Haru-ssi is also amazing you were able to talk with the foreign clients so fluently," Sang-ah spoke as she remember the meeting held between her company and a distributing company from Russia last year.
Haru spoke with them so fluently and naturally that it was hard to distinguish if he was from their group or not.
"I am just too awesome," Haru said with a smug look making sang-ah laugh since she knew he was joking.
'Yes My dear is the best,' But Queresha didn't get it.
"Oh but Resha here is even better than me, she can speak fluently in five languages," Haru said while pointing at Queresha and he looked even prouder than before.
'The shadow can smile the legends were true,' Dok-ja thought to himself while looking at the slight smile on her face. It was said that people have seen her smiling around Haru but no one believed it. But it looks like the legend was actually true. Their workplace was one weird place but it was fun.
"Is that true Queresha-ssi?" Sang-ah asked in amazement.
"Yes, I can speak and write English, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Russian, and German without any problems, So if you need some help from me ask me without any reservation," Queresha said.
"Really thank you Queresha-ssi," Sang-ah was really happy.
'They really do live in another world, don't they? When was the last time I tried?' Dok-ja wondered, all he did in his free time was read web novels.
"Dok-ja-ssi has also been focusing on his phone, Is Dok-Ja-ssi studying as well?" Sang-ah said bringing the unprepared Dok-ja into the mix.
"You can say I am studying Korean?" Dok-ja said.
"Is Dok-Ja-ssi reading a novel?" Haru asked shocking Dok-ja.
'How can you see that? You are two seats away from me,' Dok-ja was shocked.
"Yeah, I was reading a fantasy novel like….Lord of the rings, yeah like that," Dok-ja said while turning his screen away discreetly.
"Oh I have seen the movies as well they were great, I also like reading Novels but lately I can't find much time," Sang-ah said happily as Dok-ja nodded.
"Dok-ja-ssi what authors do you like? I really like books by Haruki Murakami, Raymond Carver, and Han Kang?" Sang-ah was cheery at first but a heavy sigh came out of her lips at the end.
'As I thought, there is no way I show her what I was reading,' Dok-Ja smiled wryly looking at his own screen.
'The World After The Fall'
