Chapter twenty five

In Ji-Won's spacious office, the late afternoon sunlight filtered through the window blinds, casting a warm glow over the sleek furnishings. Ji-Won sat behind his desk, his expression pensive as he stared at the computer screen in front of him. His friend and colleague, Sang-Hoon, leaned against the doorframe, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he observed Ji-Won's demeanor.

"Alright, spill it, Ji-Won," Sang-Hoon teased, a playful smirk playing on his lips. "What's got you looking like you lost your favorite blueprint?"

Ji-Won sighed, running a hand through his hair as he leaned back in his chair. "It's Hye-Jin," he admitted, his voice heavy with uncertainty. "I told her how I feel, but...I don't know where we stand."
