“Now you don’t have proof. I have just deleted the video.”

The Significance of One

 

Narrator’s POV

Ri In is standing outside the Kim’s building. It looked so…important. She slowly walked inside the building, noticed by all the employees because
she was their new manager. Ri In slowly walked into the elevator. People shuffled to give space for her. Ri In pressed level twenty and the door closed. She waited until the elevator reached her level and walked out into the office. Mr. Kim suddenly walked out from his office and following him was Junsu.

“Morning,” they all chorused.

“Morning everyone, I would like you to meet my daughter-in-law, Ri In. She will be taking position of manager, one level below Junsu,” Mr. Kim announced. Ri In heard murmurings. She heard some sentences like ‘She looks too young! How can she be our manager?’ or something like ‘I guess she is capable. All we need is trust.’ From the old and more experienced people. Ri In was happy that at least there are some people who will support her.

“Annyonghaseyo, I am Ri In. If I do anything wrong then please don’t hesitate to tell me!” Ri In said. They all clapped.

“OK, everyone, please get back to your work,” Mr. Kim said. They all bowed and obediently went back to their work.

“Ri In, your office is next to Junsu’s over there. And my office is opposite yours,” Mr. Kim showed Ri In.

“Thank you Appa,” Ri In thanked him, bowed and left to her office. She walked over to her seat and sat on it.

The room was very simple but very spacious. There were three sofas and a glass coffee table opposite of her desk. There was a humongous glass window letting the sunlight pour in which Ri In liked the most. The window gave a clear view of the city facing east where the sun will rise. By day, the will be people crossing the road of Seoul and by night, there will be fireworks happening. There are plants at four corners of the room, giving off a friendly atmosphere. Nearly everything was white except for the plants.

The desk was made of glass like the coffee table but very large. It was simple, which reflected Ri In. On the desk were a Mac Book Pro and a computer. Next to them two was a three document trays stacked on top of each other. In between the document trays and the Mac Book Pro, there was a big calculator that was a bit big so that you could easily press in a number without missing or pressing onto another number. Ri In was sitting there for a while until someone knocked on the door.

“Come in!” she yelled. Someone opened the door and stood in the middle of the room.

“Manager, I am your secretary, Lee Sunny,” Sunny introduced herself.

“Oh, annyong, you don’t have to call me manager. Just call me Ri In-shii,” Ri In told her.

“OK, Ri In-shii. I am here to give you a schedule of what will happen each day and hand you assignments of what you have to do. If you have anything you need or want to ask then you can press number four on the phone. Number two is Master Kim and number three is Young Master, Mr. Junsu,” Sunny told her.

“OK. Thanks, now, do I have any other work?” Ri In asked her.

“I-I f-forgot the work I was supposed t-to give you t-today at h-home,” Sunny stuttered.

“That’s OK. We can always work on it later. Now, anything else?” Ri In asked again.

“I guess that’s it. Do you need any coffee?” Sunny asked.

“You don’t have to make it for me. I have hands! It might be a good opportunity to look around the place and to know each person personally too,” Ri In said playfully and smiled and warm smile. Sunny somehow thought that Ri In was a very warm person, a kind person indeed not those snotty rich people she sees.

“Yes, do you need me to assist you?” Sunny volunteered.

“Are you busy?” inquired Ri In.

“No, I am not that busy,” answered Sunny.

“OK, can you show me around?” questioned Ri In.

“Yes, I can,” Sunny replied.

“Thanks. Can we go now?” Ri In asked patiently.

“Yes. This way, Ri In-shii.” Sunny guided Ri In out. When they were outside Junsu’s office, Ri In suddenly stopped.

“Sunny, I think I forgot something. I’ll be right back!” Ri In exclaimed and dashed back to her office again. Sunny smiled at her silly manager and also at her closeness to Sunny by calling her just Sunny. Sunny never knew that Ri In will be such a nice person. Sunny and Ri In were the same age so none of them are proclaimed more experienced than any other.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunny’s POV

“Junsu Oppa! Why is that here!? Why did you let her work here!? You could have stopped her! Now we have to face her every day! I am afraid that she will steal you away from me!” said someone in Junsu’s office.

It’s that Taeyeon again! I actually hate Taeyeon. Taeyeon is always stuck-up and rude. And yes, there had been rumours inside the office of Junsu having an affair with Taeyeon. Actually, it was more to the fact.

“Don’t worry Taeyeon, honey. I will never like her. Not in a million years. And I am sorry. I couldn’t stop her from joining this company. It was Father’s wish. I couldn’t disobey him,” Junsu explained. I suddenly felt sorry for Ri In. Does she know that they are actually having an affair? Ri In is such a nice person, how could someone like him betray her? Even though I have only spent a couple of minutes with Ri In, I have already thought Ri In was a really nice person.

It was suddenly silent in there. They must be doing something. I decided that I would destroy their affair by knocking on the door. I slowly advanced to the door and raised my hand up, getting ready to knock on the door. Ri In was coming this way. She had the rights to know what her husband was doing behind her back! When Ri In was in close enough distance, I knocked on the door. I heard some stumbles of something falling over and someone jumping on to the ground until all the noise settled.

“Who’s there?” asked a cold voice inside.

“It’s me, Lee Sunny. I just wanted to ask if there is any work left for Ri In-shii since the work that I was supposed to give Ri In-shii, I forgot it and Ri In-shii has delayed it with her official permission,” I said bravely, not scared of Junsu and Taeyeon since I once saved Mr. and Mrs. Kim’s life, leading them to let me work in their company. Anyway, I was rich so I didn’t care that I got sacked out of this job.

“No, I can’t see any other jobs that are available for Ri In-shii to do. You can leave,” Junsu said. Ri In was coming closer.

“Are you sure? I can see Ri In-shii coming. I guess she wants to ask you some questions,” I said while smirking.

“Oh, !” I heard someone murmur. I chucked to myself.

“Sunny, what are you doing outside Junsu-shii’s office?” Ri In asked me.

“Oh, no, it’s nothing. When I walked past the office, Mr. Junsu asked you if you wanted to ask some questions. You should go in,” I lied.

“Oh, OK. I do have some things to ask,” said Ri In and knocked on the door.

“C-come in,” someone said from inside. Ri In opened the door and it revealed Junsu and Taeyeon. Ri In’s face was shocked. Not because Taeyeon was there but what was on their lips. It was blood, a tiny patch of blood. Junsu’s tiny patch of blood was to the left of his lips and Taeyeon was on her right side, a perfect match. I think that Junsu and Taeyeon haven’t realised that they have blood on their lips.

“What is it?” Junsu asked. Ri In slowly pointed her trembling finger towards Junsu’s lips. Junsu used his finger to wipe his lips to see if there was anything there and he was shocked when he saw the result. There was blood on his lips. He looked to Taeyeon and also saw blood on her lips. Troubles brewing! He then looked at Ri In and saw her nearly to tears. Once Ri In realised that Junsu was looking at her, she immediately ran. Junsu was dumbfounded for a while until he decided to search for Ri In.

“Junsu! Where are you going!? Don’t say you are going to chase her!” Taeyeon sulked.

“No, Taeyeon. I just have to handle this with Ri In. I don’t want her to tell Appa,” Junsu explained.

“OK. Go on,” Taeyeon said. After Taeyeon said that, Junsu immediately ran out. I even thought Junsu was nice enough to chase his wife and explain but he was just going to make a deal with her. That guy is so pathetic! Taeyeon turned towards the door to get out of the room when she suddenly gasped when she saw me.

“When were you here!?” she demanded.

“Have you forgotten I was here? I was here in the first place. Even before Ri In-shii was here,” I answered her, casually checking my nails.

“Don’t you dare say anything to anyone else! If a third person knows then you will suffer the consequences,” Taeyeon ordered me. I laughed uncontrollably. Her expression changed from angry and demanding to confused and lost.

“What are you laughing about?!” she yelled.

“I can’t believe how you came to be a secretary! There are already four people that know. How can you be so stupid!?” I said between gasp while laughing my head off. She stomped her foot angrily.

“I don’t care! As long as no else knows then you will be fine,” she ranted.

“You will see about that! Let’s say, by tomorrow, everyone else will know. What do you think?” I threatened.

“You don’t have my proof,” she taunted.

“Oh, of course I do. I wouldn’t be that stupid, like someone here,” I said and held up my phone with built in video camera in High Definition. She looked shocked.

“Y-you are j-just joking. Y-you never t-took anything. How can I believe you!?” she stuttered.

“I can show you,” I said and passed her my phone. She pressed play and saw the video I took. dropped open. She then pressed a few keys, gave it back to me and said,

“Now you don’t have proof. I have just deleted the video.”
