Yoo-hyun greeted Ahn Jaekyung, the manager who was standing next to the two people he had left behind.
He seed to want a place like this too, so Yoo-hyun had suggested joining them.
“Manager Ahn, you said you would co after finishing your work, but you ca quickly.”
“Yes. It was your call. I had to co fast.”
Following Manager Ahn’s answer, Kim Sung-deuk, the deputy manager, also added a word.
“I ca with him because I thought he would feel awkward alone. Can I join you too?”
“Well, I don’t know. You have to ask Deputy Kwon for permission.”
Yoo-hyun shrugged his shoulders, and Kwon Se-jung, the deputy, whispered in a panic.
“Hey, Yoo-hyun, are you crazy? Why are you doing this to ?”
“Who said you were a jerk?”
“You bastard!”
Kwon Se-jung clenched his teeth at Yoo-hyun’s playful expression.
Kim Sung-deuk, the deputy manager, asked him.
“Deputy Kwon, can I sit down?”
“Huh? Oh, yes, of course, Deputy Manager. You have to sit down.”
Kwon Se-jung, who ca to his senses, ran like lightning and dragged a round chair.
Just by looking at him, one could guess what kind of life he had.
The guests were not the end of these two people.
Less than 10 minutes later, Choi Kyutae, the deputy manager, also joined them.
It was because Kim Sung-deuk, the deputy manager, had told him as soon as he received his call.
Thanks to that, the table grew big enough to attach two tables, and additional orders were placed.
Yoo-hyun asked Deputy Manager Choi, who sat down.
“What about Deputy Manager Hong?”
“Why are you asking about Hong?”
“You two seem to be close lately.”
“Close? What are you talking about? We are strictly business partners.”
Deputy Manager Choi drew a line with a prickly expression.
Their conflict was not completely resolved yet, so it was understandable.
On the other hand, he felt a little sorry that only the group strategy room was missing from this place.
It was just when Yoo-hyun was thinking about that.
Hong Seungjae, the deputy manager, who suddenly appeared, interrupted.
“Why did you leave a ssage saying you’re going to a tripe restaurant if you’re business partners?”
“Ah, you scared . That was just a way of saying that I couldn’t finish organizing the data today.”
Yoo-hyun was as surprised as Deputy Manager Choi.
He quickly greeted the other people, putting aside his bewildered feelings.
“Hello.”
“Don’t mind and eat. I just stopped by for a mont.”
“That’s not possible. You have to sit down if you’re here.”
Yoo-hyun dragged a chair and made Deputy Manager Hong sit down.
Everyone felt awkward because they didn’t expect this kind of place.
While filling Deputy Manager Hong’s glass, Jeong Hyun-woo, the deputy, asked carefully.
“Deputy Manager, are there any other people coming?”
“Who? Manager Shin?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
“Well. I did tell him when I left.”
“Wow!”
Jeong Hyun-woo, the deputy, who was startled, ran out quickly.
Deputy Manager Hong tilted his head at the sight.
“Why is he like that?”
“I don’t know.”
Yoo-hyun was speechless.
A mont later, a loud voice ca from the entrance.
“Welco, Manager! We’ve been waiting for you.”
“You’re too loud.”
“I’m glad to see you, that’s why.”
A sharp voice and a friendly voice mixed together.
Thud.
The mont Shin Nakgyun, the manager, entered the door.
Yoo-hyun jumped up from his seat.
“Huh? Team Leader.”
It was because of Na Doyeon, the team leader, who followed him.
Screech.
The people who got up late to greet her, she coldly waved her hand.
“Don’t greet and sit down.”
“…”
At her firm words, the people who were looking at each other sat down one by one.
She definitely had a different charisma.
She ca closer and looked at the team mbers who had gathered and clicked her tongue.
“What are you all doing here?”
“It just turned out to be a team dinner. Team Leader, please sit down.”
Yoo-hyun tapped the chair he had dragged next to him, and Na Doyeon, the team leader, drew a line.
“No. I just ca to pay for you.”
“Don’t do that and join us. It’s not good to miss the team leader at a team dinner.”
Following Yoo-hyun, Jeong Hyun-woo, the deputy, and Kwon Se-jung, the deputy, joined in.
“Yes, Team Leader. Please join us.”
“I’ve always wanted to have a team dinner.”
Maybe it was because of the team mbers’ eyes, but Na Doyeon, the team leader, reluctantly sat down.
Her face showed that she was uncomfortable with this kind of place.
“Then just one drink. I have to work tomorrow.”
“Of course. That’s how it should be.”
Yoo-hyun spoke in a friendly manner and filled her glass.
As the bottle emptied, the awkwardness faded a little.
Stories that they had not brought out in the office popped up one by one on the table.
“When I worked with Deputy Manager Choi this ti…”
“Every ti I see Deputy Jeong, this guy…”
Most of them were about work, but the fact that they communicated like this was aningful.
This was a huge change that Yoo-hyun had not expected.
They didn’t say it, but maybe they wanted a place like this?
Maybe they were blinded by the prejudice of the group strategy room and couldn’t see that side of them.
Yoo-hyun suggested to Na Doyeon, the team leader, while filling her glass.
“Team Leader, why don’t you say sothing? It’s kind of our first dinner, isn’t it?”
“No… No. Just drink quietly.”
Of course, Na Doyeon, the team leader, didn’t accept it, but he could feel her change of heart from the mont she hesitated.
Yoo-hyun didn’t push any further and lifted his glass neatly.
“Okay. Then let’s just drink together.”
Bang!
That was the atmosphere that was neither too hot nor too cold for a long ti.
It was the first dinner scene of the mobile strategy team.
After the first round, there was no second round.
Team leader Nadoyeon wrapped it up neatly and everyone scattered.
Yoo-hyun, who had sent off the people, ca back to the place of the dinner.
It was because of team leader Nadoyeon, who was alone.
She was sitting on a bench in the parking lot, waiting for a substitute driver.
She looked dazed, unlike usual, maybe because she was quite drunk.
Yoo-hyun approached her and handed her a honey tea.
Swish.
“Drink this.”
“What, why did you co back instead of leaving?”
“I’m going to sit for a while and then go. The breeze is nice and cool.”
As Yoo-hyun plopped down, team leader Nadoyeon lowered her head.
She opened her mouth, fiddling with the glass bottle.
“I’ll drink well.”
“Drink it all.”
Click.
Team leader Nadoyeon, who calmly opened the lid, put the honey tea to her mouth.
Yoo-hyun chuckled, and team leader Nadoyeon said a word.
“What’s so funny?”
“Just. It’s nice to mingle like this. It was nice to have a drink with you, team leader.”
“What’s so nice about it? It was only uncomfortable because of .”
“Of course not. Who would be uncomfortable with a reliable drinker?”
Yoo-hyun joked, and team leader Nadoyeon was dumbfounded.
“What? Really. Well. I’m glad I could help in that way.”
“You were very helpful. Thanks to you, I could also hear the stories of the team mbers.”
“True. I didn’t know that Jung Daeri was having such a hard ti.”
“Shin Gwajang has a bit of a persistent side.”
“Isn’t he doing the sa thing as Han Gwajang did?”
“Well, I can’t say it’s not true, in good conscience.”
Team leader Nadoyeon lifted the corners of her mouth at Yoo-hyun’s answer.
Her expression, which had been stiff, seed to soften a bit.
Was it because of the alcohol?
Team leader Nadoyeon, who was fiddling with the honey tea, blurted out her inner thoughts.
“I didn’t mind getting together like this.”
“Right? It’s fun to have a drink with your colleagues once in a while.”
“Is it?”
“Of course. It’s a kind of pleasure for office workers.”
They were people who spent almost half of their day at work.
The human relationships that were ford by using alcohol as an excuse were bound to be the lubricant of their work life.
In the past, Yoo-hyun had overlooked this part and regretted it.
Team leader Nadoyeon was very similar to him.
“Actually, I don’t know. I thought it was unnecessary, but I don’t know what’s right.”
“You just have to try this and that.”
“That might be easy for Han Gwajang, but I’m not good at it.”
“I wasn’t easy either. But when I tried, I changed.”
“What do you an by that?”
Team leader Nadoyeon tilted her head at Yoo-hyun’s aningful words.
Instead of revealing his intentions, Yoo-hyun smiled at the novice team leader who was just starting out.
“No, it’s nothing. But you can feel it, right, team leader? That’s enough.”
“Enough for what?”
“It ans you’re doing well. This atmosphere will get more comfortable as ti goes by. Then you’ll be able to enjoy it.”
Team leader Nadoyeon gave a hollow laugh at Yoo-hyun’s warm advice.
“Han Gwajang, you talk like an experienced person.”
“Of course. I was a siljang until recently, you know. I’m a senior leader, even if I look like this.”
“Are you talking about the temporary organization with three mbers?”
“Well, what’s the difference?”
“I guess so.”
Team leader Nadoyeon drank the honey tea with a smile in her eyes.
Did she know?
That she looked more comfortable now than any other ti Yoo-hyun had seen her in the past.
Yoo-hyun felt that he had gotten closer to her.
The next day, Yoo-hyun, who ca to work, felt the changed team atmosphere.
Kim Seongdeuk Chajang, who never had a personal conversation in the office, ca up to Yoo-hyun and made a crying sound.
“Oh, I’m dying. I don’t know what I drank so much in such a short ti.”
“You look fine, though?”
“No. Kwon Daeri drank so much that I thought I was really going to die.”
As Kim Seongdeuk Chajang showed his weak side, Kwon Se-jung Daeri, who was next to him, beca more confident.
“Hey, why are you making such a fuss? Let’s go on a separate business trip next ti and have a drink. Of course, you’ll pay, Chajang.”
“Who would want to go with you when you’re so scary?”
“I don’t care if you don’t go with .”
“What? Really. Haha.”
Kim Seongdeuk Chajang laughed loudly in the bleak office.
It felt natural, even though it would have been a situation where he would have been fed up with his eyes.
It wasn’t just personal conversations that increased.
Juguk-juguk.
Team leader Nadoyeon, who walked in, greeted them first.
Even if their eyes t in the hallway, she would have just nodded her head if it was usual.
“Good morning.”
“Good morning!”
The people also greeted her loudly.
She even gave a smile to Yoo-hyun, who was getting water from the water purifier.
Did she have that side to her?
Yoo-hyun was feeling curious when it happened.
Hong Seungjae Chajang, who was passing by, asked him how he was doing first.
“Did you get ho well after drinking so much yesterday?”
“Of course. I’m fine.”
“Is it because you’re young?”
“I guess it’s because I drink often. Let’s have a drink together next ti.”
“No, thanks. I’ll see you at work.”
He drew a line, but his expression was much softer than before.
He even raised his hand slightly before turning around.
It was sothing he had never seen before.
Yoo-hyun marveled at the changed scenery.
‘The effect of a drink is really good.’
It seed certain that a drink had made the team atmosphere smoother.
Along with personal conversations, work exchanges also increased naturally.
An Jaekyung Gwajang, who took advantage of this change of flow, shared the data he had collected.
He didn’t just stop at sharing, but gave them a mission to understand the group work of others.
Thanks to that, the whole team started to communicate through work in no ti.
