“Leader, I’m going to eat jjajangmyeon with the Gourmet Club members.”
The Gourmet Club was a food exploration club that Yesong was part of in addition to the Disciplinary Committee.
“Jjajangmyeon?”
“Today, we have to eat jjajangmyeon. It’s a significant matter!”
“?”
Not ‘want to eat,’ but ‘have to eat’?
Ah, maybe she just phrased her desire differently.
“Enjoy your meal, Leader!”
Yesong left the office with a bounce in her step.
‘Jjajangmyeon, huh... Now that I hear it, I want some too.’
Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I had jjajangmyeon.
I decided to order it for lunch.
I pulled out my smartphone to order jjajangmyeon via the delivery app.
Just then, my phone vibrated with a message on CoconutTalk.
It was a message from Vice_ Leader Oh Baek-seo.
[Oh Baek-seo: Leader]
[Oh Baek-seo: Have you had lunch?]
Baek-seo’s profile picture on Cocotalk was the back view of her in a hanbok in a flower garden.
Even through CoconutTalk, she exuded elegance.
[Ahn Woo-jin: I was just about to order]
[Ahn Woo-jin: What about you?]
[Oh Baek-seo: Not yet]
[Ahn Woo-jin: Let’s eat together]
[Oh Baek-seo: Sure]
[Oh Baek-seo: Sounds good, haha]
[Oh Baek-seo: (Cat laughing emoji)]
[Ahn Woo-jin: Come to the office]
[Ahn Woo-jin: Is jjajangmyeon okay?]
[Oh Baek-seo: ?]
What’s with the question mark?
[Oh Baek-seo: Really?]
What does she mean by ‘really’?
[Oh Baek-seo: I like it]
Oh, just an exclamation, I guess.
[Ahn Woo-jin: Jja? Jjam?]
[Oh Baek-seo: Jjajangmyeon]@@@@
[Ahn Woo-jin: Got it]
[Ahn Woo-jin: (OK sign dog emoji)]
Black Day.
It’s a day when men and women who didn’t receive chocolates or candies on Valentine’s Day and White Day gather to eat jjajangmyeon together.
All clothes and accessories must be black, and they should drink black coffee at cafes.
It’s a day for singles to comfort each other and sometimes become couples.
“Ah.”
I finally understood Yesong’s earlier remark and Baek-seo’s reaction.
Today was April 14th, Black Day.
It was coincidental that I decided to have jjajangmyeon today after a long time, and my company was Baek-seo. She might have interpreted my invitation differently.
[It’s a day when singles become couples.]
That particular phrase lingered in my mind.
‘Should I explain this...?’
Should I clarify that there was no hidden meaning behind my invitation to eat jjajangmyeon together? No, that would be undignified. It would make me seem desperate and pitiful.
“Hm...”
I was lost in thought, forgetting about the jjajangmyeon in front of me.
“Leader.”
“Yeah.”
“The jjajangmyeon is delicious.”
Baek-seo said with a smile.
“Shall we make this our regular spot?”
“......”
Surprisingly, seeing Baek-seo’s calm smile, my mind cleared instantly.
‘Well... what does it matter if today is Black Day or not.’
Baek-seo must have known it was Black Day.
Normally, Baek-seo would not miss the opportunity to tease me in such a situation. How could she not take advantage of the funny scenario where I invited her to eat jjajangmyeon on Black Day?
Yet, she made no jokes about it.
This meant she wasn’t concerned about Black Day.
‘Paying attention to such things would be childish and undignified. Baek-seo knows this well.’
Making a fuss to explain myself would only damage my dignity. I didn’t want to do that anyway.
I had worried over nothing.
“It doesn’t matter.”
I answered with a raised corner of my mouth.
Later, while eating jjajangmyeon without any particular thoughts,
Baek-seo quietly munched on a piece of pickled radish and said,
“Leader, you won’t be eating jjajangmyeon again today, will you?”
“Probably not.”
“Then that’s good.”
?
Slurp. Baek-seo finished her remaining jjajangmyeon.
