It was about an hour before it was time for everyone to take the subway, the bus, or their car home. And especially during the winter it was usually the most beautiful hour, between four and five pm, that the workers would always anticipate and wish for it to come faster. But after a few ticks of the clock, white specks would come fluttering down, a few sticking but quickly melting to the window-paned wall. The sky was a pale orange and blue and gray, and the snow didn't seem to plan on fill up the air and sky, hiding the beautiful colors. 674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMWV0vBgZp
It didn't seem so cold outside. 674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCRHPBp4wM
And the warmth of the office made each person feel a sense of comfort and discomfort from the sudden change that everyone felt during the Golden Hour.
Ga-young lifted her head from her tablet and set down her tablet pen gently beside it. After gulping down another few seconds of the snow and sky, she sighed and stood up to stretch and tap a nearby shoulder.
"Have you heard about the new intern coming in on Monday?"
Her neighbor, Ji-hae, nodded her head.
"I think she was supposed to go into the publishing department but got moved to ours in the last minute."
Ga-young shifted her hand that was resting on Ji-hae's chair to her hip.674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMt55mbzJI
"That's weird, I don't think that has ever happened before..."674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ1fDQVPqv
A tall man with a small instant coffee cup in his mouth came up to the two and shook Ji-hae's computer mouse. 674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwN3qjFAeZ
With his teeth still biting the edge of the cup, he said, "Your computer was turning off."674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Wg0rlTHBo
"Oh, thanks."674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91IND8A2pI
He beamed, two equally large dimples magically appearing on his cheeks.
"Hehe. Aaanyways, is the intern cute?"674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafvYvQyHIu
Before Ji-hae had the chance to answer that no one has directly seen her yet, a loud smack shut her mouth on its own.
"Ow!"
Jeon-woo, almost dropping his coffee cup, rubbed the back of his head and turned around with sad puppy-dog eyes. Another man, but only as tall as Jeon-woo's shoulder, held out the roll of paper that he hit him with.
"If you have the time to be playing around, Mr. Kim, then finish these edits before it's off work."
Pouting, he dragged his feet across the floor to Jeon-woo's cubicle and sat down, quickly adding in a small glare at Sung-min.
It's always those two fighting and still calling each other formally. But it was so normal, the observation of the two women came and went like the tides each night.
Before Ji-hae had the chance to take a good look at the clock, the door swung open, abruptly hitting the rubber door stop. Everyone spun around towards the entrance, but a loud scream followed the sound of the door opening, especially catching Ji-hae's attention.
A girl with round glasses and a hood pulled right around her face had sat up, slowly looking around to see four surprised adults and one explosive older sister.
And an emotionless brooding man stood there looking at the high school student, snow on his shoulders and dark head and a cup of steaming black coffee in his right hand. 674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB92S7hWOm
He checked his wrist watch. He looked up. A growling Ji-hae and whimpering girl on the lounge couch.
"Well... I suppose we can all leave thirty minutes early. I hope you all have a great weekend."674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b50bwVfSo
Again, it didn't seem so cold outside for the 6 people. It was quite unusual, but it was a pleasant unusual.
Well, for some people at least.
