Episode 64

-Yeondu! Do you have a charger? C-type~.

Jeong Yeondu sat with an expressionless face,

-Yeondu~.

being bothered by people around her all day long,

-Yeondu!

and bothered some more.

-Yeondu. You know that file from last time. No, not that one. Not that one either. That. That that that… what was it called? The one I gave you. No! The one I gave you! Try to remember!

Even tasks that could be done alone were all dumped on Jeong Yeondu.

‘Ah, I think I know what that situation is like…’

The Office Worker felt a strange empathy. Jeong Yeondu silently got the work done. She didn’t say much. The only noise Yeondu made was the steady rhythm of typing.

Tap-tap- Tap-tap- Tap-tap-.

After doing more miscellaneous tasks than her fair share of work at the company all day, Jeong Yeondu tiredly boarded the subway commuter train.

Unable to leave work on time because she had to clean up the mess her team member had made, Jeong Yeondu sat down for a moment and closed her eyes.

Buzz- Buzz-.

As soon as she tried to rest, her phone started ringing incessantly. It was a call from a college classmate she wasn’t particularly close to. Jeong Yeondu hesitated for a moment, but when the call ended and immediately started buzzing again, she had no choice but to press the accept button.

-Oh, Seong Yun. It’s been a while.

-Yeondu~~~! I seriously thought you were dead! Why haven’t you been in touch? What have you been up to!

The owner of the lively voice on the other end of the phone poured out what she had to say as if she had no interest in Jeong Yeondu’s response.

-You know, you know. Did you see my SNS? You never really read stories! I’m really hurt…

-I just have a lot of work, so I only made an account and don’t really go on it.

-Then you don’t know I’m getting married? Huh?

Ugh. The Office Worker unconsciously frowned.

-So anyway, Yeondu! Please throw me a bridal shower~.

The ominous feeling was spot on. Before Jeong Yeondu could even refuse, the person on the other end of the phone poured out her plans.

-Have a bridal shower with the girls, and I’ll give you the wedding invitation that day! You’re so good at managing these kinds of gatherings, Yeondu~ I’m already so excited, you know? My other friends say they have to handle everything themselves for bridal showers and stuff. I’m already busy to death, but my friends won’t help me, so they just cry.

-…When was the last time we saw each other?

-It’s been a long time since we met! You graduated from Cosmos, so the timing didn’t match with ours. Anyway, I really have no mind for anything these days with bride management and trousseau issues. Help me out, Yeondu. You know my taste, right?

-It’s been over 3 years since we last met… and you’re asking me to throw you a bridal shower?

-Yeah! Aren’t you curious about my wedding photos, Yeondu? I’ll send you a few through chat! You can make the bridal shower cake with my wedding photo lettering~. Fresh flower cake would be good too! Oh! I have a call coming in. I’ll contact you again later~.

The words “Are you crazy?” came out naturally. The Office Worker instantly felt emotional immersion with Jeong Yeondu.

-By the way, not a basement studio or anything like that, I’d like a place with big windows and lots of sunlight!

Click-.

And so the call ended. Jeong Yeondu froze while holding her cell phone. Even so, the subway leisurely crossed the Han River bridge. Seoul’s beautiful night view briefly unfolded.

As if Jeong Yeondu was just one ant among the ants that make up this society.

The Office Worker taking the red bus home was already focused on the screen.

* * *

[️♨The title is like this but you have to pay attention I-Don’t-Care discussion board♨️️]

-I’m going crazy, PTSD is coming up

My hands and feet are shaking… and I know they’re going to contact me again asking me to bring a housewarming gift.. ㅜ

-Wait, but can’t you just refuse?ㅜ This is so frustrating

If too many people get involved, I’ll instantly become the only bad person.. ㅠㅠㅜㅠㅠㅜㅠ I didn’t want to know either

“This is it!”

Aetami checked her tablet and cell phone screens alternately with excited eyes. Although it was disappointing that Yeoreum’s first terrestrial broadcasting appearance was a single-episode drama, that feeling soon quickly disappeared.

‘Following the web drama, even a single-episode drama has a discussion board…’

Usually, the target of discussion boards where Drama Fans commonly leave real-time comments and share situations together were dramas with long episodes. At least 12 episodes were needed for a discussion board to be created.

‘Even though it’s just a 1-episode drama!’

But following that Yeoreum appeared in, also proudly took its place on the drama bulletin board. It was thanks to showing unprecedented impact in the community.

No one argued that making a discussion board for a 1-episode drama was a bit much.

-I was just channel surfing and got so excited to see P-Chaewon lol everyone was already gathered ㅠㅠㅠ who’s the director of this??

Input: It’s called So Yesol, it’s her debut work!

Aetami refreshed several times to check the real-time comments being posted. Having seen thousands of dramas, thousands of actors, and thousands of directors, Aetami often came to accurate conclusions based on statistics.

“This, really, at this rate…!”

In fact, she had predicted the early termination of the drama that aired before after watching just the first episode.

“Isn’t our Yeoreum becoming a reliable actor?”

At that moment, Yeoreum’s irritated scream could be heard from beyond the screen.

-What? Why isn’t the water coming out?

On a hot and humid summer night, Yeondu, who had returned home and tried to take a cold shower, rattled the shower lever several times, but no water came out. When she called the landlord, he didn’t answer, and a half-hearted text message served as an explanation.

[Sorry 201! ^^* Water’s being shut off starting today, but I forgot to give notice..ㅎ I’ll give you the repair guy’s number so try calling him. He’s really reliable, so I trust he’ll take care of it~]

They say when people are too dumbfounded, they don’t even get angry. That was exactly Jeong Yeondu’s situation. Messages even arrived in succession.

[And the bachelor next door. called about the air conditioner. not working and got angry. How troublesome it was;; If Unit 201 could go.and take a look. that would be great.ne.]

Through the villa window that wasn’t properly soundproofed, the giggling laughter of drunk people could be heard directly. The thumping noise from upstairs mixed in. Jeong Yeondu just turned off her cell phone. Empty music flowed from the empty house.

-Seoul housing prices. Deposit eight thousand, monthly rent sixty-five. Management fee fifty thousand won. It’s definitely not a small amount of money.

Yeoreum’s voice was overlaid on the slow music. It was a voice that seemed to suppress emotions. After barely trying to regain composure, faint irritation inevitably showed through.

-By now, they could share that much kindness and gentleness with me. Why always…

With calm narration, the screen briefly faded out. The sound of a small sigh could be heard. In the brightened screen again, Yeondu’s day flowed the same way.

-Yeondu!

-Yeondu~.

-Yeondu.

From here and there, people looked for Jeong Yeondu and somehow dumped annoying tasks on her,

[Room 201~^^ heh The bachelor next door said to quickly call an AC repair guy. Did you call them? heh]

The landlord was the same. Each time, Jeong Yeondu’s typing got faster. In one corner of Jeong Yeondu’s monitor, this window was open.

[Re: I Became the Only Chlorophyll of the Villain Duke – Final manuscript delivery]

On one side of the dual monitor was a web novel settlement window, with truly outrageous amounts written on it.

-Holy shit ahhh hahaha what the hell is that title ㅠㅠhahaha

-Seriously, their determination is insane,, working like that and still doing a second job too lmaooooooo

︎˪For real, crazy. The sales graph broke through the ceiling but still going to work is not sane

-How many zeros are in that bank account,, Hey! Yeondu, quit your job!!!

Pi Chaewon no longer came to mind. Yeoreum beyond the screen had completely become Jeong Yeondu. After finishing and sending off the story of Acacia, the young lady who gets praised just for breathing and achieves everything, Yeondu clicked on the next file.

[Resignation Letter Template]

[Would you like to download?]

Exciting music that seemed to anticipate the next scene began to flow. Aetami had an intuition.

“This… even though it’s a 1-episode drama, it seems like it’s going to be something.”

For just a filler, the quality was too high, way too high.

* * *

The Office Worker watched Jeong Yeondu’s return to farming, which was truly like every office worker’s dream. In the red bus soaked with everyone’s fatigue, only the Office Worker had eyes full of life.

Jeong Yeondu’s name was still being called here and there. Despite this, Yeondu continued packing her belongings neatly into the box.

-You have a lot of stuff. Should I store that separately for you?

-No. It’s fine. I’m going to throw it all away anyway.

After leaving the company, Yeondu’s next destination was a hair salon. Jeong Yeondu’s expression reflected in the mirror still showed fatigue, but seemed somewhat different.

-You must be going somewhere nice.

-Yes. It’s good.

Yeondu, whose ordinary black hair had changed to a bright color she couldn’t even remember, smiled for the first time.

Upbeat music played. Xylophone sounds chimed lightly, ringing out cheerfully. As if her heavy and gloomy heart had completely changed.

-I’m going. To a place where no~body cares about me, and I don’t care about any~body.

The narration flowed, and Jeong Yeondu’s destination changed from Unit 201 built with rose brick in the corner of the villa complex to inside a train.

Jeong Yeondu, dragging her heavy suitcase and crossing through the iron gate, limped and half-collapsed onto the sofa. It was the same empty home, but the sunlight coming through the window was bright.

-…

Jeong Yeondu seemed to enjoy that sunlight for a moment, taking it in with quiet eyes.

Bang bang bang-!

That’s when it happened. The sound of knocking on the door was heard.

-…Who is it?
