It is Sunday morning. Thirty minutes ago, I was filled with excitement and hope. About knowing the lady I met like fate. I was getting the happiness I have been dreaming unconsciously. I was. Until the words came out, that it is only the god damn coffee you can offer to me. That’s it. It is a Sunday morning but I felt I am not blessed at all.

On a second thought, I don’t want to ask why. I don’t want to hear what she will say next. I don’t want to hurt more. I don’t want to gamble my lasting feelings now.

I had been shut out.

“G-got it.” I whispered. “I will not ask why.” I smiled cumbersomely.

“I am glad that you are Jung Yonghwa.” She responded to my smile. “As you tell me about yourself, I know that explanations of the people surrounding you are nonsense. I’m glad that I don’t need to create acceptable reasons why I rejected you.”

I stand up. “Revise?”

He nodded.

“I just said it is a junk. And we are not working here to do recycles.” I think I am not in my sense. I am this focused driver but I felt I am being pushy with the people surrounding me. I want to punch myself so much. “Just leave it there.”

Minhyuk entered my office. “You can go out. I will be in charge in this.” He calmly said the other person.

“Thank you, Sir.”

I sat on the couch near the big window. I am so glad that there is Minhyuk that can only balance the tension.

“Stand up, Jung Yonghwa.” He said with authority. His tone is a bit serious. I face him and after that he punched me hard. “What are you doing? Are you going to make all the people here out?!”

“You know I am just being focus with our job.” I lied.

“I know, but what you are doi
