Yoo-hyun smiled faintly at his distorted face.
It was nothing for him to turn the tables in this situation.
But he held back, because he wanted to see Kim Hyun-mins managers actions.
He also had a reason to thank Lee Bon-seok, the team leader who gave him a rather unfamiliar experience.
He offered him a snack with gratitude.
Swoosh.
It was a snack that Yoo-hyun didnt like, so he didnt even tear the wrapper.
Have so while you work. It feels like were the only ones eating.
What are you doing right now?
Lee Bon-seok, the team leader, snorted in disbelief as Yoo-hyun clapped his hands.
Oh, a drink.
Then he reached out to Lee Chan Ho, the deputy who was two steps away.
Deputy Lee, can you give a drink over there?
Huh? Oh.
People tend to lose their words when they encounter a situation that is out of their expectations.
Lee Bon-seok, the team leader, was exactly that case.
Chirp.
As Lee Chan Ho, the deputy, poured a drink into a paper cup, Yoo-hyun quickly tore the snack and returned to his seat gracefully.
That kid.
Lee Bon-seok, the team leader, snapped belatedly, and Choi Min-hee, the team leader, stepped in.
He looked sowhat relieved.
Team Leader, please continue what you were saying. You talked about the snack regulations.
Huh. Are you kidding right now? Is it because Team Leader Choi is too nice that this is happening?
Yes. Ill make it clear. Han, did you hear that?
Yes. Ill be careful.
As Yoo-hyun matched Choi Min-hees tempo, Lee Bon-seok had nothing to say.
It wasnt a situation where he could yell right away, so he just suppressed his anger and endured it.
Hoof.
Lee Bon-seok sighed roughly, and Jang Jun Hong, the team leader, also frowned as things didnt go as planned.
It was annoying and troubleso to resu the interrupted flow.
Lee Bon-seok, who was determined, started to say harsher words than before.
Frankly speaking, what did you mobile guys do? You just made so useless logos or sothing
His words didnt even end.
Bang.
The door opened and a man with a rough breath appeared.
Manager.
Ignoring Choi Min-hee, the team leader who was surprised, Kim Hyun-min, the manager, walked in slowly.
His expression, which always smiled, looked quite heavy.
Team Leader Lee, what are you doing right now?
As Kim Hyun-min growled lowly, Lee Bon-seok stood up from his seat and shrugged his shoulders.
I was giving so advice to the mobile team because they seed lacking. Is there a problem?
Manager, look at this. Is this a cafeteria? Its all snacks, snacks.
Jang Jun Hong also chid in with Lee Bon-seok.
Kim Hyun-min sneered at the two of them.
Do you two think youre managers? What are you teaching other teams?
No, arent you being too harsh? Should we just ignore them?
As Lee Bon-seok didnt back down, Kim Hyun-min took another step closer.
Didnt you ignore them from the start? If you want to help them, help them when they work. Why are you overdoing it in the wrong place?
No, thats
Their tones beca rougher.
It was a situation of imminent clash.
When the atmosphere in the conference room froze completely, Yoo-hyun whispered to the people very quietly.
Lets get out of here.
What?
Yoo-hyun said to Kim Young-gil, the manager who asked in surprise.
Dont stay here and get burned. Lets go.
Should we?
Hurry up.
As Yoo-hyun led the way, the people who were watching followed one by one.
Its like when one person crosses when the crosswalk light is red, others follow suit.
Of course there was one exception who followed the rules well.
Deputy Kwon, bring Joon Shik with you.
Uh, uh.
At Yoo-hyuns words, Deputy Kwon Se-jung dragged Jang Jun-sik out of the room.
Yoo-hyun turned back to the conference room, where most of the people had left.
So, you got lucky and beca a manager, and now youre acting all high and mighty? Who has more work experience here, huh?
TV Group doesnt care about rank or position, right? Lets take off our badges and see whos better, then.
Manager Kim Hyun-min and two other team leaders were having a heated argunt.
Hey, Manager Kim, calm down. And you too, Team Leader.
The n were too proud to back down, even when Team Leader Choi Min-hee tried to intervene.
Yoo-hyun pulled Choi Min-hees arm.
Let them be. Theyll get tired soon.
Deputy Han, this is too much.
Choi Min-hee looked troubled, but Yoo-hyun said.
Its okay. Theyre not kids. They wont fight physically.
Really?
Probably.
Their voices were barely audible, but the three n who were confronting each other glanced at them.
Then they raised their voices again and resud their quarrel.
What do you an by that?
What do you an by that? Hes a manager, a manager.
Choi Min-hee gave up and followed Yoo-hyun out of the room.
A few minutes later, at the coffee shop on the first floor.
The team mbers who had left the conference room sat at a table.
Choi Min-hee took a sip of cold coffee and opened her mouth.
I dont know if this is okay.
Its fine. Theyll appreciate so cool coffee.
Yoo-hyun pointed to the iced aricano on the table, and Choi Min-hee gave a hollow laugh.
Deputy Han, youre sothing else.
Im just a good subordinate who knows your preferences well, right?
Yoo-hyun made a playful expression, even in this serious situation.
Choi Min-hee shook her head as if she couldnt stand it.
Manager Kim likes sweet things.
This is better for your stomach right now.
Oh well. Ha ha.
Choi Min-hee chuckled at Yoo-hyuns quick response.
Yoo-hyun smiled at her relaxed leader.
You look good, dont you?
I feel better. But I dont know what will happen.
Choi Min-hee leaned back on her chair with resignation.
Then her phone on the table rang.
She checked the ssage and looked around at her team mbers.
Lets go back up.
The team mbers faces hardened as they drank their coffee.
When they returned to the conference room, the situation was settled.
Manager Kim Hyun-min was sitting alone in his seat, which explained everything.
Fortunately, there was no extre incident like his shirt being torn or his nose bleeding.
He just looked serious.
When the team mbers sat down, Manager Kim Hyun-min opened his mouth with his chin resting on his clenched hand.
Team Leader Choi, you said this happened before. Why didnt you tell ?
It wasnt a big deal. Its not like they cursed or anything.
Choi Min-hee acted nonchalant, but Manager Kim Hyun-min beca more stern.
You should have told anyway. They keep looking down on us because were quiet.
Do you think Manager Kim is soone who stays quiet?
What do you an?
Look at what happened. You fought with them and ruined everything weve worked hard for.
Choi Min-hee didnt back down either.
It was impossible to keep the TF alive without their cooperation.
Fighting in a situation where they had to persuade and appease them?
That was foolish.
Manager Kim Hyun-min lowered his head, knowing her sincerity.
Dont worry. We agreed to cover up this issue for now.
Do you think theyll keep their word?
Manager Kim Hyun-min couldnt refute her when Yoo-hyun spoke firmly.
No. Itll be fine. Dont worry too much.
Manager Kim Hyun-min laughed bitterly at his unfounded confidence.
It was a sarcastic remark that hinted at his displeasure.
Sure. You must be happy, Mr. Han, right?
Yes. Of course. You did a great job.
Kim Hyun-min, the manager, laughed louder as Yoo-hyun gave him a thumbs up.
Hahaha. Thank you for the complint. In that case, lets wrap up everything today and go for a dinner.
Shall we?
Geez, Im craving for so alcohol after a long ti.
Kim Hyun-min, who was chanically shrugging his shoulders, dropped himself down.
His forced smile revealed traces of worry on his face.
Choi Min-hee, the team leader who knew Kim Hyun-mins mind better than anyone, imdiately agreed with him.
Lets do that.
The other team mbers also chid in one by one.
Yes. Lets do that. We havent had a dinner for a long ti.
Lets go. Lets release the stress that piled up today.
Lets go. Lets forget about the whole eting today and go all out.
It was like they had returned to their old team atmosphere after a long ti.
When everyone was longing for a dinner, Yoo-hyun raised his hand and voiced his opposition.
Im sorry, but Ill skip this ti.
What? Why are you skipping? You never skipped a dinner before, Mr. Han.
Not only Kim Hyun-min, but also the others looked curious.
Yoo-hyun had never refused a dinner before, and today seed like a day when he should please Kim Hyun-mins mood.
But Yoo-hyun was firm.
I have sothing important to do.
Well, dont feel bad. Youre not missing much.
Okay. Lets have a drink next ti.
Yoo-hyun smiled with his eyes and turned his head.
That was when Kwon Se-jung, the deputy manager, looked at him with a suspicious gaze.
Yoo-hyun, dont tell youre skipping because of so martial arts novel that ca out or sothing like that?
He had a good sense of things.
Yoo-hyun blushed at Kwon Se-jungs remark that hit the nail on the head and shook his head.
No, man. I have a really important thing to do.
Wow. Really?
Dont you believe ?
Even though he emphasized that it wasnt true, Kwon Se-jung didnt seem to buy it.
As Kwon Se-jung guessed, Yoo-hyuns destination was a comic cafe.
But his reason was wrong.
He did get a new martial arts novel, but that was just a bonus, not his real purpose.
Yoo-hyun had soone to et here.
A little later.
A newly opened comic cafe near the company.
Yoo-hyun took a seat in one of the booths with partitions.
He leaned forward to the ran that the part-tir brought him on the soft sofa seat for couples.
The steaming egg floating on top looked delicious.
This ran is really good here. You should try it.
Just a mont. Let finish this first.
The man sitting next to him pushed away the ran bowl and scanned the newspaper.
Yoo-hyun put the ran noodles in his mouth after blowing on them and looked at the three newspapers that he stacked on the table.
His na was neatly aligned in the headlines that popped up.
Shin Kyung-wook, the executive director, looked at the newspaper with a serious expression with his fingers crossed on his chin.
Yoo-hyun waved his hand as he paused while picking up his chopsticks.
Whats so serious? Youll ruin your ran like that.
I dont like any of these pictures.
Yoo-hyun chuckled at Shin Kyung-wooks ridiculous answer that ca out of nowhere.
Do you expect good pictures in negative news? Its fine as long as your eyes, nose, and mouth are normal in the pictures.
No. These are just what they had in their dia outlets. Next ti, Ill have to distribute so decent pictures.
Shin Kyung-wook nodded to himself and pulled the ran bowl closer.
He seed to be enjoying himself completely by now.
