5 Four: A regular scenery inside office?

"Uh-hm! Um-hm!" Dae Ju coughs with a little sound and looked another way. He hold the mouse and trying to concentrate on his computer screen but he couldn't because of the girl. He was awkward but he couldn't tell the girl to leave from there.

"Coffee?" extended her hand with coffee she asked Dae Ju. Dae Ju noticed that she was drinking the coffee a while ago and now she is offering it to Dae Ju.

"Ah! No, I am fine!" replied Dae Ju hesitatingly without looking another way.

"Okay, But, if you want anything, you can ask me, I will surely get that for you." said the girl with a very low voice and put that shy smile on her face.

"Okay," Dae Ju lost his words and he couldn't tell her anything. He was wishing that she would leave from there and he could concentrate on his work since he never felt comfortable around girls.

"What's wrong with her? She always wants to be clingy with me but she never do the same with others! And now, look at her, how shamelessly she is sitting on my desk! Ah! Such a shameless girl!" Dae Ju said in his mind.

" Excuse me! I need to go to the washroom." Finding no other way he gets up and slowly left the place.

"Hahaha! He just ignored you!" said Mr. Chan.

"Aish! Shut your mouth! I didn't ask you!" the girl replied angrily.

She liked Dae Ju and she just wants Dae Ju to like her back but stupid Dae Ju or Rumi couldn't understand. How could he understand when his heart, mind, brain, thoughts and every feeling belong to others? The girl named Min-ah was unaware of this and she had no idea how much the man who is her next prey fall for another girl.

"Give upon him! He is married." said another worker.

"Ah! Then it would be more fun to break his house!" the girl smiled like she got what she wants.

"What?" Chan surprised. He didn't know about the girl and he secretly loved her. But hearing this his heart broke into pieces and he couldn't believe his ears. The girl sat on Dae Ju's desk well. She put her index and middle finger on her lips and kissed her fingers. Then she puts her fingers on Dae Ju's chair to mark it with her lipstick.

"I am hungry! And I will eat what I want!" said this very slowly she gulped not by fear but by her thirst which was for Dae Ju.

When Dae Ju was walking the way of the toilet, he saw the chairman. He wanted to hide from him so he went into a small room. The room was not locked and it was dark. Seems like it was an underground room and nobody came here most often. The room was quite hot because there was no air conditioner. Strange sounds were coming from somewhere and make the room like a horror movie set. Dae Ju was hiding just aside the door and waiting for the director's leaving. He was scared and he doesn't want to be seen so he was praying with all his heart to the director's leaving. But fate has another plan for him. The old guy stands next to that door. Dae Ju was standing just beside him but there was a door between them. The chairman was talking with someone on phone and while talking he stopped there.

"I am trying to help you so watch your mouth! You failed twice already and if you failed this time too, I don't know what will happen! Maybe I have to kill you with my own hands! Get it? Now, f**k off! You will be paid after you finished your work successfully. I want proof too." said the director and stayed quiet for some moments. Seems like the other side was talking and when he or she finished talking the director starts talking again.

"A finger will be enough as proof. I don't want his head or something like that. Just a small part of his body will be enough." said the chairman.

Dae Ju heard him clearly and astonished. He couldn't move and feels like he turned into a statue. His all body was trembling and he couldn't believe his ears. Did he listen well? The guy was talking about killing someone? He couldn't believe it. His impression was quite good when Dae Ju first meets him. He never could imagine that he can kill anyone. His leg suddenly hits with something and he gets hurt. The director who was standing on another side of the door heard the sound of hitting and get aware.

"Who is here?" asked the director and go close to the door. Dae Ju got afraid and gulped. If the chairman caught him now he will be dead that's why he didn't want to get caught. He was looking around and searching for a place where he could be hide.

"Rumi-sshi! Where did you go?" Min-Ah was coming to find Dae Ju because it's been a long since he left their office room and didn't return yet. She was coming to the way where the chairman was standing. She was far from him but Director saw her coming to him. But Min-Ah didn't notice that it was the director. She thought it would be a staff who works here but in another department. But when she comes close, she noticed that it was their chairman and she bowed to him. Chairman left the handle of the door and pretends like he was on a round to check on everything.

"Hello! Mr. Director!" said she and bowed to him.

"Ah! Hello, Min-Ah-sshi!" the director was too talented in acting. He looked around and take a look at everything as he was watching his factory for the last time.

"What happened, Mr. Director? Why you are looking so down?" asked Min-Ah. Dae Ju was hearing everything from inside and he was relieved. He was thanking his colleague to come in his mind. It was the first time when he was that thankful to a girl. He was praying that Min-ah will take the director another way so that he can escape from there. Suddenly he heard that the sound of talking was decreasing slowly. And some footsteps were heard with their talking sound. Seems like both of them were talking and walking.

Dae Ju felt happy and he was so relieved that he could go and thanked the girl by holding her hands. When the sounds disappeared, he slowly grabs the doors handle and pushed it but the door was not opening. He tried again and this time he pulled it but it wasn't working at all. He tried again and again but poor Dae Ju didn't know that he has been locked in that room and he has to find a way to escape from the room. He took his phone and turned on the torch. He tried to look around and realized that it was not a small room. It was just a storeroom and that's why nobody comes here that much. There were many many things kept inside the room such as old parts of cars, old furniture that are not usable anymore etc. He torched on them one by one and take a look at them for once. There were many cars also in a poor condition. Suddenly his eyes got stuck in a taxi. It was smashed and it was in serious condition. He felt like he knows the taxi. He has feelings that it is related to him somehow but he can't figure it out.

Suddenly he remembered something and take a look at it very carefully. He discovered that it was the same taxi in which he was returning to the dorm instead of by riding his car. He remembered about the night and trembled out of fear. He felt like his head was still bleeding and he is about to doze off. But, he was quite strong and he had to accept the reality by smiling through the pain. That's why he could control himself. He took some pictures in case it could help him. He looked around and saw many other vehicles that were in a bad situation. So he took pictures of some of them. While taking photos he suddenly heard a noise inside the room and get an alert. He tried to look what was the noise from by lighting on it. He found a mouse was running on the floor. Maybe it stole some food from somewhere and tried to escape but it also locked here like Dae Ju. The mouse was running and went to a side where a very thin light was coming from.

"Oh! Is there another way to go outside?" Dae Ju was surprised but became happy. He followed the mouse and saw that it went down of a wall and vanished. When he looked at the wall carefully he found that it was not a wall. It was a white-colored door. He couldn't see well because of the darkness and he was searching for its handle or door lock with his hand. Suddenly he put his feet on something and slipped. To maintain himself from fall on the ground he touched the wall beside the door as soon as possible. He felt like he put his hand on a switch and he just pressured it while trying to save himself. The door opened slowly. It was a sliding door and it opened. Now, he could get that he touched the door key and could able to open the door. He felt like he just came back to his life. He rushed outside and tried to close the door but he couldn't close it.

"Aish! Why it's not closing! Ah! What if I get caught now?" said Dae Ju and checked if someone was coming or not. He was fully soaked in his sweat because he was too much nervous. He heard a noise. Seems like someone was coming to him while talking with each other.

"F**k! Just leave it opened!" saying this Dae Ju was about to leave but he saw something on the wall just beside the door. It was like a piece of wood and it was decorated beautifully. If anyone watches it, he would have thought of it as an art on the wall. Suddenly an idea came to his mind and he pushed it hoping that it would be the door lock and he got it right. The door was closing slowly. Wasting no time, he ran from there. In a meantime, he met the director and Min-Ah on his way back to the office room. Since he never comes to this path so he lost his way and he was searching his way. That time they came while talking with each other but Dae Ju didn't notice them as he was too much concerned about finding his office room.

"Ah! Mr. Rumi! What are you doing here?" asked the director. His mood has been changed and he was talking with a bright smile. But Dae Ju was nervous and also he was afraid of him. By looking at him he remembered those words which he heard from inside that room. He gulped and he couldn't find an answer right then.

"Ah! I was going to the washroom but seems like I took the wrong path!" he smiled awkwardly.

"You haven't go to the washroom yet?" Min-Ah surprised.

"Why you are that surprise?" seems like the director caught something. Dae Ju closed both eyes and he prayed in his mind to God and Min-Ah not to tell him anything. But Min-Ah didn't saw his shrunken face and she starts talking.

"He left from the office about an hour ago saying that he is gonna use the washroom," said Min-Ah surprisingly.

"Is that true, Mr. Rumi? You start neglecting your work?" Chairman asked him with a surprising voice.

"No! Actually.... The thing is....." Dae Ju was so nervous that he couldn't reply anything and looked down.

"Then, where were you and what were you doing in that one hour?" Director asked him with a serious look. Dae Ju looked at his eyes and get more nervous. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle and he was glaring by wishing his death. Dae Ju gulped again and he started sweating more than before.

"Do you think the washroom is this way?" the chairman asked with a weird smile but with a low voice. Dae Ju still couldn't give him any answer so he looked down.

"What are you hiding from me?" he was serious now.

"No! I am not hiding anything! It's because.... " Dae Ju's palms also get wet by his sweat and it could clearly be seen that his clothes get wet.

"Then, why are you sweating that much if you are not hiding anything?" director's face was looking just like a villain of a TV series and by looking at him Dae Ju starts trembling and he could not able to hold himself back.
