What? She was in the same major as me? That’s crazy. Kang Woojin almost revealed his true self to the female employee by asking, ‘Do you know me? I don’t know you?’.
However, Woojin barely held it in while continuing to stare at the female employee, trying to recall the past.
‘Who is she? Wait, why can’t I remember? Come on, try to remember.’
But he came up empty. Time had passed quite a bit, and he didn’t recognize the female employee’s face.
‘No, I really don’t know her. Who the heck is she?’
Were they close? That seemed unlikely. If they were even a little close, he would remember. It was vague. Actually, Woojin didn’t have many close female friends in college. He was more of an introvert.
And Woojin knew one thing for sure.
‘Women change a lot.’
Having a younger sister made this more apparent. In the past, his sister looked completely different when she was lounging at home versus going out. So, Woojin often teased her about it.
‘Hey, is your room a plastic surgery clinic? Where’s my sister? Why is a different person coming out?’
‘Ah! Shut up!’
‘You should go for the Guinness World Records as a ‘two-faced woman.”
‘Mom! Brother’s making fun of me!’
Just a slight change in makeup can drastically alter a woman’s appearance. Maybe the woman in front of him had plastic surgery after college? After all, in Woojin’s design major, there were way more females than males, probably twice as many. How could he remember them all?
Anyway, Woojin felt uneasy.
‘It’s okay. You didn’t do anything in college. You didn’t date anyone. Just stay calm. You can get through this.’
His college life might be fully exposed any moment now.
On the other hand,
“Oh, do you not remember me?”
The female employee, her voice tinged with disappointment, seemed to remember Woojin quite clearly. This was awkward. Pretending to remember when you clearly don’t is a bit over the top, right?
“Ah, I have no idea.”
Maintaining his composure, Woojin decided to stick with his concept.
“I really can’t remember.”
“·····Oh.”
The female employee’s expression instantly turned awkward.
“Well, it’s been a long time.”
At that moment,
-Swish.
Choi Sung-gun, who had gone to the bathroom, quickly returned.
“Sorry! I had to use the bathroom.”
Choi Sung-gun, who had been cheerfully smiling, noticed the awkward atmosphere in the conference room. The scent of something delicate was in the air. Consequently, Choi Sung-gun, sitting next to Woojin, tilted his head.
“Um, were you guys talking about something?”
The answer came from a ‘MxDonald’ employee, who seemed to be of the highest rank.
“Haha, no. It seems our colleague is Woojin’s college classmate. But Woojin doesn’t remember her.”
The ‘MxDonald’ team chuckled.
