The Nature of Possession

13 – EP.2 When the team leader is obsessed, he works a lot of overtime.-4

***

Using Lee Mi-na’s chattering words as the background sound, they quickly finished the soup and assorted sundae.

Even though it was an act that anyone could see ignoring it, Lee Mi-na steadfastly said what she had to say, and I buried my face in the bowl and moved the spoon.

Maybe because I ate a lot, my stomach swelled up, followed by a slightly unpleasant feeling of fullness.

After properly paying the bill, I headed to the cafe. Of course, Imina also accompanied them.

To be precise, Lee Mi-na suggested the cafe. It was fate that we met ‘by chance’ like this, but it was because we stubbornly followed each other, saying that it would be regrettable that we broke up right away.

It is also necessary to turn off my bloated stomach for a while, so I agreed. I also calculated that if I had refused anyway, I would have been bothered by another reason.

“You’ve been busy lately, right? I’m sorry about that.”

Iced Americano, it was a combination of a drink that was plain but went well with her.

I took a sip of Iced Americano and shook my head.

“It’s all about business.”

“It was because there was no other place I could trust. You know. Everyone has different things to do.”

“You’re missing it.”

“I’m saying this because it’s Mr. Inho. Before we became a team, there was only Inho and I.”

I guess that’s the setting.

“It was.”

“It was difficult to handle the work alone, but Inho came in as an assistant shooter and it was very comfortable.”

Lee Mi-na took a sip of the Americano she was drinking. It seems that the neck is also burnt.

“Since you’ve gone through so much hardship, you’re now a team and people have joined.”

“It’s good. People lined up.”

“Inho’s soft personality is the problem. You’ve seen how everyone works.”

Her words made the thorns rise again.

Damn, the atmosphere was good, but why are my emotions boiling like this? Your face looks like a master of poker face.

“I often hand things over to Mr. Inho and just say ‘thank you.’”

“hahahaha….”

I didn’t know the details, so I tried to laugh it off, but she was persistent.

“So is In-ho. How are you okay there? That’s sloppy. Foxy b*tches… keuh. How many people are like foxes.”

Wow… just said year.

“Apart from that… Mina-sama too.”

When I narrowed my eyes with the nuance of “Why did you make me do this?”, she became angry again.

“Are you treating me and them as equals? Even if you’re Inho, you can’t stand this.”

What’s different?

“I think you want to say, ‘What’s the difference?’. The difference is big. I gave Mr. Inho’s job rightfully, and they left their job to me. It’s definitely different.”

That sounds like it, but let’s keep quiet.

Since the topic of work came up, I brought it up because I thought it went well.

“I have something to tell you because I’m working. I’m too young these days…”

“I know. So I think you should lighten Inho’s burden for the time being. It won’t be possible for Inho and I to work together forever.”

I tried to say I didn’t know the job at all, but I was blocked in advance.

“…Anyway, I didn’t know that Mina-sama had this kind of personality. You’re usually a bit reticent, to say the least.”

Carefully changing the subject, she thought for a moment with a polite expressionless face.

“I don’t know. Maybe it’s because I feel more comfortable in front of Mr. Inho.”

The direct gaze was a little burdensome.

After talking for a few more hours, I came home.

Lee Mi-na seemed to want to talk to me more, but I was able to repel it by acting that I was not feeling well.

It looked like he was regretting something… I don’t know if he’s doing something sad.

“Should I go to work tomorrow?”

It’s Saturday, but I forgot everything related to work while possessing it, so I have to learn it all over again.

Because I can’t go to work on Monday and be a parent. Let’s go and have a rough look.

“Well, if you can’t do it, I’ll take a vacation and find another job.”

Because eating and living is more important.

“Ehh, whatever happens.”

While I was killing time in bed in a comfortable outfit, I felt a presence outside the door.

I thought it was next door, but the unique popularity doesn’t disappear.

“What are you doing late at night?”

It’s already 11 o’clock. It is not a suitable time for someone to hang out in front of the house.

He scratched his neck and stood in front of the front door.

I looked outside through the lens hole in the front door, but I couldn’t see anything because it was dark.

‘what. I can’t see anything.’

I kept opening my eyes, but it was just black darkness.

Then, there was a noise outside the door.

“I… who are you?”

As soon as I heard the man’s voice, I realized what darkness was blocking my eyes.

“Ah, I’m the girl who lives here. I couldn’t reach her… I wondered if she was at home.”

Imina was standing outside the lens hole.

The man next door nodded and entered the house, while Lee Mi-na stood still for a long time.

‘Then we were facing each other?’

I got goosebumps, and my legs gave out.

How many minutes had passed as I sat in front of the front door as if sliding. A small murmur was heard outside the door.

“I’m sure he’s in the house. Why can’t he show up?”
