Chapter 12 (1/2)
”Oh my, who's that?”
”Is he a new member of the Central Research Laboratory?”
Jungas busily typing away on his laptop while sitting on a bench located in the hallway, stopped to s him weird looks
'Please don't mind me and carry on'
He was currently taking up a wall plug next to the vending machines to power his extre, but it was better than staring off into space in the Temp employee's office space And it wasn't like he could use Professor Chun's personal Laboratory during the day
Jungwu glanced towards the general direction of the offices for temporary hires on the other side of the hallway No Senior Researcher ca
'There is so much free time when there's no task to work on'
He refocused and resumed on the work at hand
Frowu spent all of his free ti Professor Chun's research papers He took Doctor Moon's advice to heart and focused on selecting a research topic that would be possible for hinition quickly for now Next week's Research Ideas and Proposal assess point of that
'Tat tat tat tat'
While Jungas h draft of the proposal paper, a head popped up from behind him
”What are you working on?”
Jungwu froze He had his guard lowered because he had not seen her on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday But now the large round eyes of the self-proclai at him from a palm's distance away
”Ooh, Synthetic Resins? Are you ai for a project with the Fundamental Elements Laboratory?”
Boyoung was reading the docureat interest Her smooth white cheeks were too close to his face, so he answered after htly
”I a it”
”What do you think, would you like an opinion from last year's winner?”
Boyoung's large non-double eyelid eyes seemed to burst with life
”I'll gladly accept if it’s free”
”Then I politely retract my offer”
Boyoung broke into a s her swu couldn't help but instinctively feel his heart beginning to race
'Snap awake That's not a friendly smile That's a trap!'
Jungwu fir involved and swept away by her pace would prove to be nothing but trouble, so he closed his laptop
”Did you co machine?”
”No”
Jungwu gave her a questioning gaze Boyoung hopped out frorinned as she told him
”Pack your things We need to go somewhere”
”Where to?”
”A good place”
”Good only for Sunbae?”
Boyoung's expression see was the newest addition to the Lab 1 teauessed that it probably involved some sort of manual labor
'I thought it was strange that things were so quiet'
Jungwu unplugged the power cable fro watched quietly for a
”Are the other te to them?”
”Don't misunderstand I came here because the office for temp is uncomfortable”
”Aieet I'll go ahead and intervene”
Boyoung headed towards the temp hire's office
”H…Hey, I said I'm fine!”
Jungwu threw the bag over his shoulder and chased after her The issue with being singled out is best when solved personally
”Sunbae…”
”Hoobae nims!”
Before he could stop her, Boyoung already yelled from the hallway into the office
”Anyone want to go with ot dispatched to the event”
'What?'
The wu realized he was baited, he immediately stopped in his tracks
'I don't want to get involved Her ability to sweep people aith her pace is unnatural'
The Temp Researcher's office remained quiet despite her loud announcement Because she didn't select anyone by na the situation
”I guess everyone's busy”
All of the for the assess It was only natural that they would all wish to avoid doing support work as much as possible until the assessment was over
Boyoung seeed her tone, speaking as if she was going to leave, but raised her volume
”I WAS going to give a few pointers on hoon 1st place to whoever who came to help out But if you don't need it, that's fine too”
Suddenly all the temps raised their heads
”Well, just in case First person to coo! One, two…”
Even before Boyoung counted to three, six temp researchers juet ahead, Gitae who ed to reach her first raised his hands
”It's me, I won!”
”Okay, rest are rejected”
Gitae shouted ”Yahoo!” and danced
”Sunbae, can't you take one more?”
”Until 3rd place!”
Jungatched the chaos suddenly unfold before him didn't kno to respond and continued to stare expressionlessly
Boyoung who saw him smiled as she said,
”Parachuter ssi, you should consider yourself lucky Not anyone can attend these kinds of seminars”
”Since it’s a rare and valuable opportunity, may I yield my spot to one of the Temp Sunbaes?”
He took a jab hoping against hope, but Boyoung shook her head firmly
”It's too late I already reported that you will be attending
It hadn't even been a second since he resolved to not get swept away by her, but he had already fallen to her scheilant in the future, he stood before her
Gitae as dancing and ing in the envy of his peers stopped once Jungwu stood before him
”Jungwu ssi is going too?”
”I guess so”
Boyoung shouted ”Let's go!” and led the way Gitae folloithout another word, and Jungwu meekly followed suit
'Is it because I didn't sleep much nowadays? I already feel exhausted'
Jungwu shook his head in his mind
He prayed that today wouldn't drag on forever
Three people walked out of the twin buildings with the gigantic KG Cheo into the street
Boyoung checked her cellphone as she said
”I called a taxi They said it'll arrive in 3 minutes”
While they aiting for the taxi, Gitae carefully and cautiously asked Jungwu
”Jungwu ssi, I didn't see you this …”
”I was near the break room”
”I see I thought you were assigned to Project Lead Jung's team”
