When he stopped walking down the street, SooHyeok grabbed both of Sarah"s frozen hands and blew on them with his warm breath. Sarah, with a shy smile, shook her head.
" It"s not cold anymore. "
" Liar. "
Soohyeok took off his leather glove and placed it in Sarah"s hand. He thought that might not be enough, and stuck Sarah"s hands in his coat pocket.
" If you give me gloves, your hands will be cold. "
Soohyeok smiled as he lifted her lips.
" As long as you"re okay with it, I don"t mind. "
Soohyeok, who was walking with Sarah, mumbled to himself.
" I wish it were you. "
" Huh? What? "
"Marriage."
The word " marriage " has made Sarah"s eyes bigger.
" I want to do it with you. "
Sarah"s hand, which was in his pocket, began to sweat. Sarah turned to try to shake off the trembling.
" You will stay in Busan until tomorrow, right? "
"Christmas. I should be with you. "
Sarah and Soohyeok were in a long-distance relationship, from Seoul to Busan.
" What shall we do tomorrow? "
" Since we were outside today, let"s stay in your house tomorrow. "
Soohyeok did not like places with many people. So the days of going to the movie theater on holidays were very few, and they rarely went to famous restaurants where people waited in line. they usually enjoyed the date at Sarah"s house.
" That"s right. You said you had to meet a friend this evening, right? "
" Yeah, they"re already asking me to come. "
As Soohyeok said, his pocket kept vibrating.
" Amazing. How can you have friends in Busan? You said you lived in Seoul your whole life. "
" Oh, my friend from elementary school. They moved here a long time ago."
"I see."
Since there was nothing to doubt Sarah nodded.
" I"ll pick you up on time tomorrow. "
" Yes, I"ll wait at home. "
Sarah, who smiles brightly, was filled with excitement. As if announcing Christmas, the streets were full of bright lights, and carols, which were softly heard here and there, were all exaggerated.
" What if my brother proposes tomorrow? Are you going to ask your friend to help you propose? "
Even though, he didn"t show it, but Soohyeok must know tomorrow is their second year of dating. He was a sweet man. There was no reason to refuse if he proposed. Next week Sarah was turning 28 and Soohyeok was 38. If there was a right time to get married, now was the time.
A week has pa.s.sed since they promised to meet on Christmas to Soohyeok. Sarah couldn"t get a hold of Soohyeok, reason being.
[Customer can not answer the phone] Please call again in a few minutes.
Sarah, who was looking at her cell phone with an anxious look, sent a message to Soohyeok.
Why won"t you answer the phone?
Even today alone, she sent more than 10 messages, but the " 1 " next to the message has not disappeared. It was not just yesterday that they lost touch with each other. When there was a small argument, there was no contact for two or three days. Her heart sank for fear that the relationship would end. However, it was the first time that he broke his promise and did not contact her. Unlike before, Sarah was sitting on the bench because of a cold feeling. Maybe there was an accident. I wonder if he lost lost hid phone. Various thoughts came to mind. Not long ago, Soohyeok, who had proposed marriage out of his mouth, would never disappear. She put her cell phone down and stood up from bed, breathing multiple sighs. Then there came message. Sarah thought she was Soohyeok, so she picked up her cell phone.
[h.e.l.lo, I"m the hiring manager for Lansoft we are messing you to tell you that you have pa.s.sed the job interview. Please check your email for further progress.
Sarah clenched her fist at the text she had been waiting for.
"All right."
Lansoff, who abolished all positions except the CEO, the board, and the team leader in a horizontal organizational culture, was what all gaming employees would call the company of dreams. Sarah, who has worked as a graphic designer for four years, was also one of the most sought-after workers in Lansoft. After learning that Soohyeok"s job was Lansov, Sarah was even more eager to join the company. Because she could not be sure that she could overcome the high compet.i.tion rate, Sarah had not told Soohyeok that she had applied for the job.
You"d be surprised to find out you got a job at Lansoft, right?
Sera called to tell him the news, but he never answered it. Sarah had no choice but to move her thumb on the keyboard to leave a message.
I pa.s.sed Lansoft, brother.
With the last transmission b.u.t.ton left, Sarah put her cell phone down. It was not something to send a message under the present circ.u.mstances. I wanted to see his face and talk. But I couldn"t meet him even if I wanted to. In the last two years of their meeting, Soohyeok never took Sarah to his house. Because he lived with his parents. There was a late surge of concern. But she got a job in the same company, and she will be able to see his face and talk to him as soon as she gets to work.
*** Lansoft orientation day. Sarah"s eyes at the crossing didn"t fall off her cell phone. Two weeks after losing contact, Soohyeok still hasn"t answered Sarah"s phone call. Now there was a connection saying that the phone was turned off. His concerns have kept Sarah awake for days and barely eating.
" I hear the head of the Lansoft is so handsome? "
In the midst of this, I could hear the voices of people standing behind them as ears pierced.
" I heard it when I went for an interview. They say your girlfriend is a model. "
" That"s strange. I heard you were gay. "
" If you"re handsome and don"t have a boyfriend, they say you"re gay. "
The employees who got acquainted during the interview were already talking in groups. Usually an interesting subject, but Sarah drooled the words. Now all she cared about was her lost boyfriend. When the light of the signal light turned to a green light, the cell phone in my hand rang. Sarah opened her eyes wide after seeing the name on the screen. - I didn"t want to get disconnected from Soohyeok, so I turned around at the crossing and pressed the call b.u.t.ton.
" Brother, what happened? Why can"t you get in touch with me? "
After a brief pause, the voice that came over the phone was an unexpected person.
