Chapitre 41: Chapter 41.

"Do you really want to get fired?"

"Do whatever you want. I don't care."

His eyes widened upon hearing Ojae's unexpected response.

"Hang up if you have nothing more to say. I may not answer your calls anymore since I'm busy."

Ojae spoke like a weak man who had lived all his life and tried to hang up the phone.

"Well, wait." Gyeonhui stopped Ojae quickly. "... Well." Gyeonhui struggled to speak many times.

"I fully sympathized with your pain… and... I'm thinking of you too, and I'll always be on your side."

It was choppy and sloppy, like reciting words that he had memorized.

"... What the hell are you talking about?"

"You said you need my comfort, so I'm comforting you now."

Gyeonhui felt so awkward and shouted, but he heard no response over the phone.

'... I've done something stupid.'

Gyeonhui closed his eyes, shaming his own behavior.

"I think you're angry at me, not comforting me."

"I'm done. Forget it."

Gyeonhui hung up on Ojae and threw the phone on the bed.
