The Nature of Possession

20 – EP.2 Lee Mi-na-1

***

A watery voice. she is shaking

‘What am I saying?’

The memories she and I had built up before.

I don’t know if it was two-way or one-way, but it must have been a precious memory and bond for her.

That’s why she thinks it’s desperate.

I had to sympathize with something I couldn’t relate to, so I had no choice but to act.

It’s not just for the purpose of not provoking her.

Whatever I was before, I wanted to appease this woman now.

I just felt that way.

“Mina.”

I gently raised my hand and put on the pod.

She flinched as if surprised by the sudden touch, but she didn’t remove her hand.

“In-ho…?”

“I told you, but I’m not going anywhere.”

“…really?”

“Um… Actually, I was worried.”

“It’s true!”

she gives strength to her hand Contrary to what it looks like, the grip is strong.

You almost broke your hand.

“Did you have a lot of complaints about your company life? I’m sorry. I should have paid more attention.”

There is a thick layer of self-reproach in her voice.

I shook my head and said. With a faint smile to reassure her.

“It’s not like that. Um… It’s a little crazy, but would you like to hear it?”

“…?”

She widens her eyes at the sudden noise.

How should I explain it?

I will try to explain it without being too concise.

After explaining my condition for 30 minutes, she seemed to understand.

He said he couldn’t remember the job well for some reason, leaving out the story of moving to another dimension and losing his memory, of course.

“That’s why I came out on the weekend. I have to go back to work.”

“Is it temporary memory loss? I’ve never heard of such a case in my life.”

“Yes, I’m experiencing it for the first time in my life.”

It’s the first time I’ve experienced something like a dimension shift.

“Have you ever looked at a recruitment site…?”

“I thought it would be better to just go to work and learn a new job. Actually, I didn’t do it with deep thought.”

“Umm… It’s a problem, it’s a problem. Mr. Inho is the best on the team. How to work with people who are lacking.”

“I don’t know how to react when you say that.”

“Why? It’s true that it’s lacking. If we have to talk about percentages, I did 40, Inho-ssi did 55, and the other 5 were done by others.”

Then, you should have distributed it well earlier.

“Why is the division of work…”

“Yeah… Inho-ssi took it all in. You don’t think I gave you 55, right? Other people left it to Inho-san on their own, and Inho-san accepted it as a good thing.”

“Did you know everything?”

“It’s not like I got the team leader by scolding… How the hell do I see myself in Inho’s eyes?”

A rich, pretty sister.

She opened her eyes sullenly, but still clasped her hands.

“I didn’t get involved because I thought it was Inho’s will. Of course… I can’t deny that I also had my own selfishness.”

She swallowed once and spoke again.

“And I’ve gotten used to working with just the two of us. If I entrust it to someone else, I’m just anxious.”

“Oh, I think I know what that is.”

“Isn’t that true of Inho? I think our working styles are similar.”

Where was the anxious face from earlier, and a smile bloomed on her face.

We talked about trivial things, and it felt like 2 hours of talking about little things was really short.

After leaving the cafe, we were carrying iced americanos.

I was a bit harsh this morning, because she accepted my offer to buy coffee as a reconciliation.

Rather than accepting it… it was unilaterally persuaded by me.

She didn’t like it very much, but she bought a coffee anyway.

“Inho, what are you doing this weekend?”

“Today is Monday. I still have plans for the weekend…”

“Then, would you like to come to work without something? You have to get used to work.”

My boss naturally recommends going to work on the weekend.

Look at me because I’m pretty

“Yes. I’ll let you know if anything happens.”

“Okay. I’ll pick you up in front of the house.”

Maybe because the promise was fulfilled, Mina had a satisfied face.

By the way, this woman… obsessed, but not progressing.

“Do you want to watch a movie after work on the weekend?”

Let’s say it casually. She looked up at me in surprise.

“A movie? With Inho?”

“If you don’t like it, don’t.”

“You never said no?

The dodo runs forward, her ears are red.

Early summer, on a Monday afternoon with a mixture of warm energy and hot heat.

As she ran along the sidewalk lined with beautiful trees, she looked back at me and said as if declaring.

“Because I’ll prepare everything. Mr. Inho only comes with his body.”

Hey… What a boss. Isn’t it really the best?
