Chapter 166: Chapter 166 Park Seung-woo, the assistant manager, swirled the glass in his hand. His face was flushed from drinking too much. He had been silent for a while, but then he blurted out an emotional remark. “Do you know who the most pathetic senior is?” “No. Who is it?” “The senior who only exploits his juniors. The senior who has no strength to take care of even one junior. The senior who only takes from his juniors, even though he knows he’s wrong.” “...” Yoo-hyun was silent, and Park Seung-woo asked him another question. “Yoo-hyun, do you want me to be that kind of senior?” “No.” Yoo-hyun parted his lips with difficulty. At the same time, he recalled the actions he had done, saying he would look after him. Maybe he had been too narrow-minded? As if to agree, Park Seung-woo uttered a self-reproachful voice. “Actually, I have no right to say this.” “No, you do.” “No. I just... I want to get closer to you. As a human being, I mean.” “Me too.” Yoo-hyun answered honestly, and Park Seung-woo’s eyes sparkled. “Good. Then give me a chance. Don’t suffer alone.” “Okay, I will.” “Please do.” At Park Seung-woo’s words, Yoo-hyun fell into deep thought. The conclusion was one. He didn’t know how to receive sometimes. He still had a lot to learn. Yoo-hyun spoke as if he had made up his mind. “Assistant manager.” “What?” “I’m still lacking a lot.” “Pfft. Kid, what are you lacking? You’re overflowing.” Park Seung-woo said, and Yoo-hyun shook his head slightly. “No. Please teach me a lot.” “Okay. I’ll be your mentor for sure. Look forward to it.” “Yes. Thank you.” He wanted to learn more. He would fill in the gaps. Clang. The sound of glasses clinking and smiles on their lips. The remaining schedule? The exhibition was successful, and he finished what he wanted to do. All that was left was to have a good time. He also went on a trip with his colleagues that he had postponed. There were quite a few places to go around Berlin. Park Seung-woo and Kim Young-gil, who were looking around, said in turn. “This is the Berlin Wall.” “There’s not much to see here.” “But it’s a living history. This wall is...” Yoo-hyun told them the information he knew every time. He felt like a guide, but he had his own fun remembering the old memories. He went to the Berlin Wall and had tea at a famous cafe nearby. He took in the scenery and went around by subway. Yoo-hyun was in charge of the guidance all the time. “This is Gendarmenmarkt. That’s the German Dome, that’s the French Dome...” “Wow, that’s cool.” The colleagues took pictures one after another. They were more passionate than at the exhibition. It felt like a group trip. There were so many places to see around that it was nice to walk around. Kim Hyun-min, the deputy manager, who was looking at the price list, asked Yoo-hyun’s suggestion. “Shall we go here?” “I think it would be good to go inside the Berlin Dome.” “The entrance fee is 7 euros?” “Yes. It’s worth it.” “No. Should I say I’m a student? Then it’s 5 euros.” “You don’t look like it, deputy manager.” Yoo-hyun cut off his absurd remark. He looked around the Berlin Dome and saw the Berlin cityscape from the roof. And he took a group photo in front of the square. Snap. The background was so cool that the picture came out amazing. Yoo-hyun and his colleagues sat on a bench by the road and chatted while drinking takeout coffee. Then, Choi Min-hee, the manager, exclaimed. “Wow, Berlin is really nice.” “Where shall we go next?” “Anywhere. There’s a lot to see here by walking.” She answered with a relaxed expression when Yoo-hyun asked. He was determined to show his best self then. Yoo-hyun’s lips curled up. Yoo-hyun, who slept all day, went to the gym first thing the next day. There were quite a few people at the gym on the weekend. Yoo-hyun opened his suitcase and handed out shampoo to Kang Dong-sik, who he saw first. “They say this German shampoo is really good.” “Shampoo? There’s some at the gym, why bother?” He wiped his sweat and asked with a tick. “This is not just shampoo, it’s anti-hair loss shampoo.” “I’m already dying of hair loss, who are you trying to feed?” “You have to protect the remaining hair.” Kang Dong-sik lost his words at Yoo-hyun’s cold answer. “...” “Puhahaha.” The gym people burst into laughter. Yoo-hyun ignored Kang Dong-sik’s grumbling and handed out shampoo to each person. “Did you buy this for all the gym members?” “Yes. I thought you all might need it.” Kang Dong-sik finally looked at the trunk on the floor. It was full of blue shampoo. It was a huge volume at a glance. He appreciated the effort of coming to the gym on purpose on the weekend. He pursed his lips and said. “Well, you worked hard. I’ll use it well.” “Haha. Why are you acting so out of character, brother?” “Hey, am I not good at speaking politely?” “Are you?” Yoo-hyun blinked his eyes and asked, and Kang Dong-sik flared up. “I’m not using this.” The people laughed again and thanked him. “Puhahaha.” “Thank you, Yoo-hyun.” “I’m glad you like it.” Yoo-hyun also greeted the people with a smile on his face. It was a very warm scene, unlike the aggressive gym members. Yoo-hyun, who gave out the gifts happily, met his friend Kang Jun-ki in Seoul. He gave him a German toothpaste set. Kang Jun-ki made a loud noise as he took the gift. “What, is that all you got from the trunk?” “This is German-made. You only need a little bit to brush your teeth. Isn’t it amazing?” “Amazing, toothpaste is toothpaste.” “Give one to So-hyun. This is popular among women.” Yoo-hyun said, and Kang Jun-ki snorted. “Hey, who likes toothpaste as a gift?” “Really, how can you not know women’s hearts?” Yoo-hyun’s words made Kang Jun-ki flinch. He remembered his friend’s appearance at Hansung Tower, receiving the eyes of the female employees. “Really? Well, I see your female employees...” “Why?” “No. Thank you.” Kang Jun-ki nodded his head in the end. Yoo-hyun was satisfied with his expression and said. “There’s one more thing.” “What is it?” Yoo-hyun raised his hand and pretended to drink, and Kang Jun-ki asked in surprise. “Huh? Kid, did you buy liquor? How old is it?” “You can look forward to it.” “Wow.” “Let’s open it when Hyun-soo and Jun-seok come up.” “Deal.” Kang Jun-ki smiled for once. Yoo-hyun returned home and opened the large trunk in the house. The trunk was filled with all kinds of items like a jumble. But it was still neatly organized. ‘I’ll give toothpaste to Hyun-soo and Jun-seok too.’ He sorted them out one by one. ‘I’ll give hand cream to Eun-ah, and gummy bear set to Ye-seul.’ He wrapped them separately. ‘I’ll give cold tea to the aunt at the soup restaurant.’ He also left a simple note. It was the same for the people at work. They might be small gifts, but Yoo-hyun put his heart into each one. What would they need? He picked out the gifts with a fluttering heart, thinking of the recipients. What would their reaction be? They would like it, right? He imagined their expressions when they received them and smiled happily. This whole process was a joy to Yoo-hyun. He had never felt this way before when he had no occasion to buy gifts.
