Bab 185: Warning

Not knowing what to make of this odd situation, Su-Jin eventually turned to her friend for help.

Noticing Su-Jin's questioning gaze, Yeon-Ah shook her head slowly.

"He's been like this since he came to work in the morning. Deputy Director Kim told him to go home a couple of times, but he refused."

"Did something happen..." Su-Jin hesitated for an instant, not knowing how to ask. "Could something have happened to his mother? I remember she was still in the hospital last week."

Yeon-Ah gave Jung Seok a hesitant glance from the corner of her eye, then shook her head.

Before Su-Jin could understand the meaning behind that answer, Yeon-Ah got up from her seat. She then gestured with her chin towards the kitchen.

"Let's go grab a cup of coffee. I already had one in the morning but, considering what is going on, I feel the need for a refill."

With that she turned on her heels and walked towards the door that led to the back office area.
