"Did you ask for help from Dr. Park regarding the survey?"
"Yes, how did you know? Did you meet him?"
"Yes, near my place last night. Coincidently."
"In your neighborhood and coincidently?"
"Don't think about a novel-like plot, please." Sun shook her head, knowing that she couldn't stop Ari. "Let's go back to work."
While she was waiting for her computer to boot up, she recalled when she was at the subway station.
She was on the escalator, and she smelled Gyeonhui's scent from behind her all of a sudden.
She turned the music off and was standing still.
"This lady is my girlfriend."
She heard his voice because the music wasn't on.
"I can't stop taking care of you."
She heard his voice again.
When she recalled his soft voice, a smile spread on her face involuntarily.
When she confirmed that her computer was booted up and ready to use, she put her hand on the mouse.
For some reason, the mouse felt much lighter than usual.

In the late afternoon.
