She finally opened up about the feelings she had hidden for so long.
“Yoo-hyun… Actually, I t my father a while ago.”
“Really?”
“Yes. I thought he was the object of my resentnt, but I guess I missed him. He looked so old.”
“It’s been a really long ti, 20 years.”
When she was young, Jeong Da-hye lost her parents and had to live with different relatives.
That was 20 years ago.
She didn’t go into details, but it seed like the misunderstandings and grievances that had accumulated over the long ti had been sowhat resolved.
“My feelings of resentnt won’t change right away. But… I think I can start anew now.”
She spoke to Yoo-hyun as if making a vow, telling him about her future.
‘She doesn’t have to act strong anymore.’
Yoo-hyun quietly approached her and hugged her.
“Da-hye, you can do it. I’ll be by your side.”
“Yoo-hyun… Thank you.”
Snug.
Her body trembled faintly.
The two of them held each other silently for a long ti.
The next day, when he woke up from his sleep, Jeong Da-hye was gone.
Swish.
Yoo-hyun picked up the phone on his bedside table.
He opened the first ssage that ca in.
-Da-hye: Yoo-hyun, I left after seeing you asleep. Thank you. For everything.
This one ssage made Yoo-hyun feel like he had been rewarded for everything.
All he did was to bridge the gap, the rest was up to Jeong Da-hye’s heart.
Yoo-hyun had a feeling that he knew what choice she would make in the future.
The next ssage was from Han Jae-hee.
-Han Jae-hee: Bro, you’re welco for leaving the place for you. Buy sothing delicious next ti.
“Geez.”
Yoo-hyun chuckled at the content, but he was also grateful.
Thanks to him, Jeong Da-hye was able to pour out her innermost feelings.
‘I thought he was just a drunkard.’
He had a knack for setting the mood.
Yoo-hyun smiled as he recalled his sister’s face.
When he t Jeong Da-hye again, he told her about her drinking habits.
She was surprised and asked.
“Hey, did I really laugh like that?”
“You cried a lot too.”
“No way. I don’t have any needles.”
“Oh, right…”
Yoo-hyun laughed at the shaless Jeong Da-hye.
Sohow, her expression looked very light.
Jeong Da-hye smiled more often, as if she had shaken off the lump in her chest.
Not only in front of Yoo-hyun, but also in front of the company people, she smiled comfortably.
Her actions changed as much as her expression.
She entered the conference room and spoke to the employees.
“Until now, I only focused on the corporate ssenger as my judgnt, but I realized that it was not enough. I’m going to change it from now on.”
“How?”
At Nadoha’s question, Jeong Da-hye gave a detailed explanation.
“First of all, I want to set the overall direction of our company. We have three businesses: mobile securities platform, ssenger With, and corporate ssenger. First of all…”
They all knew the content, but it felt very new to hear it from a consultant’s perspective, connecting it with the profit.
This was her original style, to present a big direction and lead the people.
But this ti, she wanted to draw the direction and involve the employees.
As part of that, she lowered her eye level from the easy part.
“It may sound difficult, but it’s because the na of our business is not clear. So I want to na it first.”
“Na?”
“Yes. We can’t just call it With, which is linked with Hansung Note. We need to center on With, which is a platform role, and co up with derived nas.”
As she casually threw a word, the surroundings buzzed.
“That’s right. In the future, there will be derivative products that collaborate with various apps, and we can’t use With.”
“I agree. Considering the scalability of With, we can combine it with cloud storage or comrce, so we need to prepare for that.”
“I wish it had so consistency…”
“Ah, this is hard.”
They were all focused on sothing trivial.
It was funny to see people who could do difficult things in a short ti worrying about nas.
Yoo-hyun, who was watching quietly, suggested lightly.
“How about WithH?”
At his simple suggestion, Joyonghee accepted it with an excited voice.
“Wow! Since it’s linked with Hansung Note, you’re calling it WithH. If you expand it with alphabets, it will have consistency and uniqueness. Especially when you make other derivative products…”
He even added an explanation that wasn’t there.
“That… was the idea.”
Yoo-hyun nodded his head at Joyonghee’s passionate speech.
He didn’t think that much, but it sounded like a aningful na.
Thanks to that, the na was easily decided without any objections.
Jeong Da-hye also agreed.
“Then let’s go with With for the main, and With H for the corporate. Next, we need to na the mobile securities platform. It’s not enough to just call it DoubleY, considering our scalability in the future…”
Jeong Da-hye explained why they needed to na it, lowering her eye level.
The employees worried again, and Yoo-hyun answered with a simple thought that ca to his mind.
“How about Milky?”
This ti, too, Joyonghee explained it with a loud voice.
“Wow! Mirinae is the Milky Way. The Milky Way is the Milky Way. If you take off the last letter, it’s Milky. This way, you can take care of Mirinae Securities and also have a distinctive feature…”
The employees who heard it also praised Yoo-hyun.
“If it’s as Silent-nim explained, it’s really good. Milky. It sticks to your mouth.”
“As expected, Director. The one who nad DoubleY and With is different.”
“I should have asked the director to na my nickna.”
“Sunim, Sunim suits you.”
“…”
They pushed him away with whatever they said, and Yoo-hyun had nothing to say.
Jeong Da-hye smiled at him.
“Director, you’re good at naming things. Why don’t you na our vision too?”
“Vision?”
“Yes. If we set the direction and vision, the picture will be perfect. You can na it, or the CEO can.”
Park Young-hoon lowered his hand when he t Jeong Da-hye’s gaze.
“No, it’s not. Director Han ca up with it. He’s good at naming things, right?”
He seed to be envious of Yoo-hyun.
“Hmm.”
Yoo-hyun pondered for a mont.
He had actually thought of a vision before he ca to Double Y.
He thought it would be nice to start with Double Y.
Swoosh.
He looked around the employees and spoke sincerely.
“How about this? For a better world.”
That was the mont when Yoo-hyun answered.
Jo Yong-hee spewed saliva and ranted again.
“Wow! The ‘more’ in ‘a better world’ is the sa as the ‘double’ in ‘Double Y’. This way, the vision and mission are aligned, and we can boost the morale of the whole team…”
The employees applauded the illogical and absurd answer.
Clap clap clap clap clap!
“You’re really different.”
“You’re amazing.”
“This is sothing…”
Yoo-hyun couldn’t adapt to it, but there was one important fact.
That day marked the beginning of Double Y’s journey for a better world.
As ti passed, Yoo-hyun adapted to Double Y.
It was fun to work with people who had their own quirks, even more than at Hansung.
He enjoyed working with Jeong Da-hye and exercising at the gym after work.
Especially when they had a beer together after sweating, nothing could be better.
The place he worked at was different from the past, but the joy of being together grew.
Then one day, after so ti had passed.
Yoo-hyun drove his car to Double Y.
There were boxes of chocolates in the trunk to give to the employees.
It was his important role to cheer them up sotis.
‘It’s going to be a riot again.’
He was imagining the happy faces of the employees when it happened.
Beep.
His phone rang, and the na of Kwon Se-jung, the assistant manager, popped up on the navigation screen.
He answered the phone with a friendly voice.
“What’s up, busy guy? Did you call because the phone launch is imminent?”
-No, that’s not it…
“Then what is it?”
-Sigh! How do I say this? You need to contact Junsik.
The voice from the speaker was serious, and the content was out of the blue.
He asked for the reason right away.
“Why Junsik? Did he co to Seoul?”
-No. The problem is that the crazy guy is at the Wonju factory.
“Why?”
-His father is in critical condition. He might pass away any day now. But he doesn’t seem to want to move.
“What?”
Screech!
He parked his car on the side of the road and asked calmly.
“What do you an? His father is in critical condition? What do you an he doesn’t move?”
-I just got a call too. The doctor told to prepare for the worst. But Junsik is still staying at the Wonju factory even though I told him to hurry up.
“Why?”
-You know he has a strong sense of responsibility. He doesn’t know what to do because there’s a production issue at the factory.
“Does that make sense when his father is in critical condition?”
He was so dumbfounded that he choked up.
-I think he believes his father will never leave. You have to do sothing. He won’t listen to .
“Huh! Fine. Send the hospital address by text. I’ll try to contact Junsik.”
-Okay. Please do.
He hung up and called Jang Junsik, the assistant manager.
Ring ring ring. Ring ring ring.
The phone rang for a long ti, but Jang Junsik didn’t answer.
“Pick up.”
He muttered anxiously, and a word he had said in the past flashed through his mind.
-Junsik, since you’re doing it, try a little harder. It must be hard now, but if you overco this ti well, you’ll grow more than anyone else.
Could it be that he was holding on because of that stupid word?
He regretted saying that to the naive guy.
Jang Junsik was a precious person to Yoo-hyun.
anwhile, he received a text from Kwon Se-jung.
-Dongsung dical Center, Room 202.
He checked the first part and called Jang Junsik again.
He called again if it was cut off, and it was the third ti.
Click.
Jang Junsik answered the phone.
He asked with as much calmness as he could.
“Junsik, what are you doing?”
-Sir, I’m watching the equipnt setup at the factory.
He could tell he was exhausted just by his hoarse voice.
He must have stayed up for days.
Yoo-hyun’s heart fluttered for a mont.
“Your father is in critical condition. Hurry up and go to where he is, you bastard.”
-It’s okay. My father is not a weak person. He survived last ti.
“Hey, Jang Junsik.”
-My father said that. He’ll wait for until I finish my work. My father never broke a promise.
“You crazy bastard! Is this the ti to say that? Don’t regret it later and go now!”
-I don’t want to show my father, who is lying in bed, that I’m a useless son who can’t even finish my work.
He heard the illogical logic of his junior and let out a deep sigh.
“Huh! Jang Junsik, if you don’t go down now, you’ll never see again.”
-No, but…
“Don’t worry about your work. I’ll take care of it right away. Don’t you trust ?”
-…
“Junsik, pack your stuff and… No. Just run to Gate A right now.”
-But my car…
Jang Junsik was at the Wonju factory.
He must have been more confused because there was no one to help him around.
Yoo-hyun made a cold judgnt.
“You’ll get into an accident if you go like that. Just stay there. I’ll contact you in 10 minutes.”
Click.
He hung up and contacted another place.
