64 Are you drunk? (1/2)

After the talk with Ha Eun over the phone, he couldn't wait for tonight. Once night came, he looked to see if all the employees had left the floor. There were still a few left, but it seemed they were about to leave, so he decided to order take out. He called Ha Eun that his floor was empty and that she could come over. Then he sat back down as he waited for Ha Eun, impatiently.

Ha Eun walked out of her office and checked to see if there were still any employees. To her dismay, there were. This made her hate the fact that she made them work so hard.

As she walked back to her office, she asked herself, ”Should I use my status as CEO to make them leave?” No, she shouldn't. That will raise questions. Once inside her office, she looked at the fire alarm and for a second thought about pulling it, but the consequences would be too severe.

She hit her head against her office door, repeatedly ”Leave you bastards!”

After a while, she went outside once again. She saw a few cubicle lights on, but no people. Maybe they went downstairs for some coffee. She took this opportunity to head to Chang Wook's floor. She pressed the elevator button, and as it slowly opened, she noticed some of her employees. Before the elevator opened completely, she ran for the emergency stairs.

She looked out the door's small window, wondering if they saw her. Two of them continued talking as they made their way out of the elevator, the third one, on the other hand, looked towards the door. Ha Eun quickly ducked.

”Guys, did you just see the CEO?”

Ha Eun heard footsteps getting closer towards her.

”Why would the CEO be on the emergency staircase when there's a perfectly good elevator?” one of the two asked.

”Come on. We have work to do.”

Ha Eun sighed with relief. She wanted to take the elevator, but it seemed she'd have to take the stairs. Once in Chang Wook's floor, she noticed battery operated tealights on top of specific tables as a way for her to follow them.

Ha Eun smirked, ”He's such an idiot” she whispered.

Ha Eun followed them, all the way to the employee break room. Ha Eun knew how important breaks were for her employees so when she took over as CEO, she got them remodeled. Now they were spacious. They had two fridges with a big kitchen, many tables and even booths, like the ones you have in restaurants. It also had two tv's, a pool table, board games and not to mention the floor to ceiling windows that showed a great view of the city.

Surprisingly the workers rather than laze around, they worked even harder, Chang Wook didn't know if it was because they were too scared of his wife or because they had a reasonable amount of break time and a fun breakroom.

Ha Eun followed the candles to the floor to ceiling window. There, Chang Wook was sitting on the floor, over a blanket and take out was right in the middle.

”Dinner in the breakroom is considered a date?” Ha Eun asked with a grin.

”Anytime we are alone together that isn't at home; we are on a date” Chang Wook said. Ha Eun scoffed and sat down.

As they ate, Chang Wook said ”Fun fact about Chang Wook 103: I hate the taste of pineapple.”

Ha Eun smiled ”I haven't heard those in a while” she said ”Wait, what happened to the other ones?”

”I made a list, but I don't remember all of them, so I just tell you the ones I remember” he said ”Also, we've been married for a while, but still you don't know anything about me.”

”I think I know more about you than you think” Ha Eun said. Chang Wook was surprised by this.

”Go ahead then, tell me some fun facts about me.”

”For starters, you eat ramen with a fork” Ha Eun chuckled ”It's seriously weird. What Korean eats ramen with a fork?”

Chang Wook was surprised by this since he doesn't remember a time he ate ramen with her.

”Your long term memory is great, but your short term sucks” Ha Eun said ”Like you can remember something I told you the first day we met, but you can't remember what you had for breakfast this morning.”

”I call it selective memory” Chang Wook said.

”You have dark brown hair. It's so dark that most people see it as black, but it's actually dark brown”

”You hate scary movies, but that doesn't stop you from watching them.”

”You like watching Japanese anime, and you prefer to watch it with subtitles.”

”You say you like broccoli but if it's alone, without any sauce, you won't eat it.”

”You eat tomatoes, but you hate ketchup.”

Ha Eun kept saying these fun facts that Chang Wook had no idea she knew. Ha Eun wasn't going to deny that she never bothered to know more about Chang Wook, but some of the things he did, she noticed, and now that they were married and lived under the same roof, she noticed a lot more.

”Okay, okay, I get it. You know a lot about me” Chang Wook said. He opened two bottles of soju, one for each.
