Chemistry

Last day of October, 6: 00 p.m. commute.

Jungwoo was sitting in the back seat of a large generation, sweeping down the schedule for the next month.

Contractor meetings, coordination meetings, extrapolation symposium, evaluation of the second half public workshops, chemistry semi-annual conferences…… so dense that I traveled outside once a day.

Do you have time to breathe? ’

I was out of the country for a month, and I was particularly overwhelmed with academic events assigned to the senior researcher. Jungwoo pressed the call button with the front seat.

“Car secretary. ”

The passenger car on the passenger seat turns his head.

“This Saturday. You need to take the weekend off. Why the meeting? You know I'm not that intense. ”

- I had no choice. You can subtract the Friday Symposium from the official event.

I shook my head to this answer.

“Well, all the senior PhDs are going, but you can't leave without a habit. Can't we postpone the weekend meeting next week? ”

- Impossible because all business meetings, including lunch appointments, are closed.

Jung looked at the schedule.

Doing 12 businesses in South Africa and Sudan alone would have caused them to collapse by the end of the year.

‘I don't have time to experiment with the gaps. ’

Eye contact with the compound storage case that was placed next to it could not be removed from the code name ‘BG-7’.

New protein polymers combined up to night-time for 2 weeks.

This will protect you from the side effects of the AF series for 30 days.

The fact that I could treat Yoon Yi Seul without being ashamed as a man alone during the night was not fatigue, but happiness.

I can't postpone this just because of a business meeting. Jung realized that the time had come to make a decision.

“Car secretary. ”

- Yes, sir.

“Please call Human Resources and tell them we'll get another research assistant. ”

- Are you interviewing him? I don't know, but volunteers are so...

“No, I have a man in mind. The car secretary has the same family, so you should know. Song Bo-young, Jungyeon's researcher. ”

The anomaly that was writing the instructions on the note stopped.

- Bo-young?

“I refused my offer before, but I'll try to convince him again. She's the only person who knows the chemistry and is able to come up with a representative meeting or negotiation without pressure. ”

- Are you going to take all of Jungwoo's meetings to her?

“Yes. After the African project anyway, I only wanted to take care of the basic duties of the senior researchers, like the academic community. I have a lot of personal problems to deal with in my future as a chemist. So let's reschedule that. ”

All external meetings were attended by representatives and internal worker meetings were handed over to two existing competent research assistants, so the monthly schedule was completed during the morning, signing only the payment documents and focusing on the study in the afternoon.

I like that it's high rank. You can ask someone who's good.

- I don't know anything else, but you can't send a delegation.

“Don't worry. It doesn't go away. ”

Jungwoo inspected the dinner schedule at the Young Bin, which was marked after the full moon, and marked it with a star.

The talks with the president were going to be something to brag about for generations.

Jung, who put the neatly organized schedule on his knee, turned his gaze out of the window. A bank tree leaf planted on the side of the road was turning yellow.

Autumn approaches.

10 months had passed since I joined KG Chemistry.

In a room with only a small lamp on.

A rich hue of white hands rests on the guitar string and begins to bounce off.

The hand that drew the beautiful melody and rhythm stopped when it reached the middle of the song, followed by the hook.

“It's so lonely. ”

Repeat from the beginning. There were changes in the chords, but the chords that touched elegance in the hook did not change.

Yoon Lee stared intensely at the tip of the rope.

“Don't do this. Let's cheer up."

It's a song I made thinking about him, and I can't keep touching his sad feelings.

I tried to bring the climax to a brighter sensation by repeating the song a few times, but the climax failed.

“Aye!”

When I couldn't play as I thought, I bounced the rope and gave a screaming sigh, but the visit was open.

“Sis, pizza's here. ”

“Why not? Why not? We can go to the Major Code. Are you always the miniature tension? ”

After 21 years of seeing Yun Yi Seol, Yun Ik-hyun pulled out his tongue to see his sister beating guitar half-hard. The world does not know the reality of its sister.

“If you want to hit something, go play on the drums in the studio. Don't break your fingernails while you're working the rope. Aren't you going to eat pizza? ”

“I'm not eating! ”

“Chief Ji asked me to take care of dinner. Come on, just one slice. ”

“I said no!”

When something goes wrong with music, she's a real pain in the ass. It's such a pity to see how stressed out you are.

While the broadcasting activities were busy and not often encountered, the sister now was too fierce than usual.

- He's more perfectionist than he looks. I'd like him to play buffer next to me, but I don't think we have much time. I don't really want to reveal the difficulty I have in composing a song. At least let me give you a sandbag.

I remembered what Chief Ji asked me to say. Yun Ik-hyun waved the visit to see if he could smell the pizza and crawl out hungry.

“I know the creator suffers a lot, sis. Let's eat. ”

“Close the door. I don't feel good when I'm full. ”

“You said you were stuck for two days. Come out and get some air. I like you half the time. You don't have a man? ”

This question made Yoon Lee Seol's head turn around. Yun Ik-hyun winked at the furious eyes.

“I only saw it twice because of the follow-up or something. ”

“Who?”

“I don't know about you... …. ”

Beevik.

Yoon Iseol's hand moved like lightning as soon as a text message rang on the phone that was placed beside the bed. Yoon Iseol, who was reading the text, suddenly woke up.

“Yun Ik-hyun.”

“Huh?"

“Am I too nervous to sleep right now because I'm hungry? ”

“Uh, a lot. ”

Yoon Il-sul, who ran out, sat down in front of the pizza on the table. Yun Ik-hyun, who saw her taking out a piece and began chewing dirt hard, came to hesitate.

“Cehala. Cola. ”

Yoon Iseol, who drank the cola that followed me, began chewing the pizza battlefield again.

“What's the matter with you? ”

“See you tomorrow. It's a weekday.”

“A man?”

Yoon Yitheul, who had a bulging sheep ball, nodded.

“Well, there was a man. Who is it?”

“Company.”

“Oh, really? ”

“Keep it a secret from Mom and Dad. I don't want to burden him. ”

“Stay away from people, or the press will find you. I'm sure she's already burdened by the fact that she's your girlfriend. ”

“She's not my girlfriend yet. When I first confessed, I was. ”

Yun Ik-hyun, who was drinking coke, was surprised by the sound and had to spit it back.

“You dumped your sister? ”

“But……. ”

Yoon Yi Seol chewed up a piece of gear and swallowed. Then he clenched his fist.

“Charm fascinated me, me. ”

Yun Ik-hyun pulled out a wipe and kicked his tongue with a tomato sauce handed to his mouth.

“Whoever he is, his brother. This is going to be hard. ”

“You said you felt good about me. ”

Yoon Ik-hyun sighed as if she was squeezing something out.

“Sis, this is serious advice as a relationship teacher. ”

Then Yun Ihyun turned his eyes to the living room with a sheet of sheet music and crumpled paper scattered around, and handed the pizza over to Yun Yitheel.

“Every time you do something, it's hard for you and the people around you. Don't you think he should know? ”

“You don't have to know. ”

“Can you live with yourself by just looking at your brother and throwing away your favorite music? ”

He didn't answer the question.

“If I find out that I pretended to be happy when I was with you, it will hurt a lot later. If you're annoyed, give me a shout. If you're tired, give me a hug. Sis, that's love. ”

“You……. ”

Yoon Iseol, who received unexpected advice from his two-year-old brother, did not speak for a moment.

“I'll be fat again in a day, like this. Shut up and eat hard. ”

Yoon Iseol, the pizza on his mouth, looked at the phone with Jungwoo's text on it.

Jungwoo set an evening appointment with Yun Yisul, then fixed his eyes to the red gummy bears contained in a sealed container.

This was only the first experiment in the molecular world to calculate the reaction equation.

Even if the contract is terminated according to the performance of this‘ BG-7 ’, there will be a way to continue living as a chemist on your own strength.

Thirty days and you get greedy? ’

It was enough to know performance for a few days. But you have to make sure that you stay stable for a month before you can give her a proper confession.

"It's 9: 00 p.m. on October 31st. Test initiated. ’

I opened the Courage Cap and swallowed it.

I felt like I was swallowing a lump of unscented, mummy rubber, because it wasn't a taste consideration.

Soon.

A ferocious reaction boils in the belly. Similar symptoms as when you first took the AF series.

The masses in the compound absorbed and spread throughout the body.

“Is it done? ”

The moment I felt the hot energy disappear from my body.

Jungwoo falls over the duvet like an unbearable drowsiness.

* * *

Day 1

6: 00 a.m.

Jungwoo's eyes flashed while he was asleep like he was stunned. I felt the sensation, but I touched my face and stretched my hands and feet.

“That's nice.”

I did not notice a big change, either externally or internally. This was a very encouraging phenomenon. It's a proof that he absorbed BG-7 without any rejection.

Jung got up from his seat and stepped down the stairs and stood in the kitchen. While drinking water, a first-class visit took place and the dinner yawned and walked out.

“Huh? You're up early again. ”

“Phew. My eldest son lives so hard to feed his family. Reflect on waking up later than me. ”

“Aha. The very repertoire remains unchanged. I'm sick of it.”

“Only a little steaming. You want to go to college with a bandit? ”

While chattering like never before, Hong Ji-suk, who was dressed in outdoor clothes, came out to the living room.

“Mom, the Dawn Market? ”

“Oh, Jungwoo, while you're up early, I want you to cook dinner and go to work. ”

“I? The grown-ups have to eat it themselves. ”

“Listen to me when I say it. He has 15 days to complete his degree. ”

“I've been in Cheongwa for... 15 days... never mind. Do you understand what it's like to be the hero of the Foreign Ministry? ”

Hong Ji-suk lifted the grumbling of Jungwoo into one ear and grabbed the cart in his hand and disappeared out of the porch.

“Chan, why are the columns in the house so cold? ”

“What's with all the fuss at once? Don't you remember how I cooked for you before you graduated? I was in junior high. ”

“Yuck. Did our Chan do that? Fulai is half-mature? ”

In response to the teasing tone, the dinner that snorted disappeared into the bathroom. Jungwoo wins and pulls 2 eggs out of the refrigerator.

“Just lower your score while you take care of it like this, just. We'll lose our graduation funding. ”

I opened the pot lid to heat up the stew I had last night.

Wasn't that kimchi stew? ’

Jung paused for a moment because it contained tofu. Since she was such a wizard of home food, boiling tofu with the leftover kimchi stew base was not a problem.

I put the stew on the gas fire without thinking about it and put the egg on one side of the fried pan.

“Good morning, Knight Choi. ”

After opening the gate, Choi Hyuk leans down and opens the back door of the sedan.

“You look good today, too. ”

“It's a clear day. ”

Choi smiled and sat in the driver's seat. The started-up car travels along the road.

Jungwoo, who used to open his laptop habitually, suddenly remembered his phone.

‘We should talk to Bo-young before it's too late. ’

I was going to propose to Song Bo-young to be my research secretary, and at the same time I was going to tell her to analyze all the papers written by Dr. Heaven based on the know-how I obtained while designing the BG series.

If you refuse to march, listen to the conditions you want and keep proposing. In fact, there is no alternative but her.

I pressed the call button and did not receive the signal after a long time. He tilted his head to go to Gekko's voicemail.

Are you still asleep? ’

Jungwoo took his mobile phone off the laptop and began writing a basic formula for designing the next BG series.

How long has it been?

- It's a company.

When Jung turned his head to the voice of Choi Knight, the morning sun reflected, Yeouido's gaze stayed in the forest of the building.

A monotonous daily routine where you work, work, and work as usual. Nevertheless, they are not bored or bored because they are proud that they are a member of something in this large society.

‘Pay a few bills, study it, and then leave at 5: 00. This is happiness. ’

Jungwoo's mood was as bright as his good body because he had fully adjusted his schedule yesterday. It was inevitable that I felt like flying today, especially when I was able to show Yoon Iseol that I had become a body worthy of kissing.

‘And if you do well.... ’

Clinical trials on side effects overcoming, I might be able to try it.

Bloop.

When I opened the door of the lab, the car that was on its way to work got up and approached me.

“Welcome.”

“Nothing new to report on business progress? I heard it yesterday. I heard it yesterday. ”

“There's nothing special... ”

He walked inside and smiled as Jung stood in front of the door in his private office.

“That's enough. We'll check your payment documents quickly and send them to you. ”

Thud, Jung opened the door and stopped. There are piles of documents on the desk. It was high enough to cover a person's face when he sat in a chair.

Cha Seong-soo was embarrassed and said with a smile.

“Shin Eun-jin, a countermanagement strategy model from 40 African countries, and a financial accounting team, reviewed and posted 12 business feasibilities. ”

“Ah……. ”

“Please contact me when you have finished confirming. ”

Jungwoo squatted on the chair. I left both the meetings and the frequent worker contacts, but what remained was not enough.

‘I have to hurry so I can get off work. ’

The cloth was hung from the chair, and the shirt sleeve was rolled up, and the Jung read the report as it was.

Confirmed, signed. Approval complete, signature.

Instead of spending a leisurely morning, after clearing all the documents on the desk, the morning light disappeared behind the building forest.

“This is the last time. ”

Jungwoo, who had confirmed the first contract with the Democratic Republic of Congo to provide fire-fighting contracts, turned his eyes to the clock just after 7: 05 p.m.

“Ugh, I'm so sad. ”

I left the office with a suit top, a bag, and the last document in my hand that I finished making payments while rubbing my stiff neck muscles.

“Car secretary, here. ”

“Well done.”

“I'm off to work now……. ”

Not to mention Jungwoo stopped gazing at the people sitting around one of the labs' tables having dinner.

Seven researchers were drawn from the Middle East because they lacked the right of ownership and Lee Jun-Ik in the three new people who joined under the order.

Three filter teams for chief Ming Dong Gun. A total of 16 people were having dinner inside the company just in case of overtime.

Jung, who was somewhat sorry, bowed his head politely to them.

“Everyone is welcome to drop their profits, so refrain from overtime if you can. ”

“Then Senior Jungwoo returned home and spent the night at the company. ”

I smiled beautifully at the point of the case.

“I did it because I had something to study personally. ”

“Okay, you go home. If our superiors do, we all pretend to be. ”

“I'm sorry. I have a really important appointment today. ”

People gestured to go quickly. Jung took out the corporate card and gave it to Cha Seong Soo.

“Shoot something expensive for a night snack. More than a minimum of hand-made sushi. ”

“Okay, but you seem really busy these days, other than the company. Please let me know if there's anything I can help you with. ”

“I'm fine.”

After waving his hands and leaving the lab, Jung rushes to the elevator.

I made a generous appointment at 8 o'clock in the beginning, but I didn't have time to change my clothes.

At this time, the best driver returned home and ran to the subway, because he would be walking faster than he would be traveling by car.

Jungwoo, who excelled at Gangnam-gu station, jogged to the street with the Starpeace Building.

For a long time, I stood in front of a five-story building with a billboard for the 30th anniversary of the band "Four Seasons."

“Huff. Huff. ”

7: 55 on the wristwatch. Luckily, it's not too late.

Jungwoo picked up his phone and dialed Yoon Lee Seol's number as he breathed. The signal goes twice, and I hear her voice immediately.

Oh, you called to see me?

“I do, and I want to see you. ”

The high-pitched laughter burps through Jungwoo's ears on a cell phone speaker. I thought I could hear this smile that made me feel better in the future, so my mouth was full of Jungwoo.

“It's right in front of me. Come out now."

What do you mean, "in front"?

“Starfice. We were supposed to meet. ”

A few seconds of silence passed.

- What kind of joke is this? That's strange, Jungwoo. It's easy to tell jokes.

Jung smiled at Yoon Yi Seol's remarks.

“You're kidding. Didn't you see the text I sent you? No, you said yes. ”

- Yeah, so I met her yesterday, took pictures. Y-you experimented with that, too.

“What are you talking about, Lee Seol? ”

- Oh, my God. Are you trying to take them down just to pretend like none of what happened yesterday happened? Then I'm really angry.

When Jungwoo's gaze settled on the Starpeace rooftop, when she was puzzled by what she was saying.

The date and time written in the lower right corner.

[November 2nd at 7: 57]

“What is it?”

Jungwoo, whose back was cooled, asked on his cell phone.

“Is it Wednesday, Lee Seol? November 1st. ”

- Thursday, two days.

“No way……. ”

What, are you kidding me? I think I'm being ridiculed a lot.

I opened my mobile phone to see the date widget on the home screen because it seems wrong. Again, November 2nd. The voice of Chan in the morning echoes in his ears like a hallucination.

You're up early again.

Again?

Day 1 (x) 2

I got up excited and looked at the reports all day, but I didn't really care about today's date.

Taking ‘BG-7’ and falling asleep on October 31.

Woke up on November 2nd.

It was neither routine nor peaceful that the day evaporated in my memory.

Jungwoo unknowingly tapped on his cell phone gallery to look for what he took yesterday.

Yoon Yi Seol and the correct picture taken on November 1 at a restaurant of a local chef immediately appeared.

“What is this……. ”
