Watching her friend's departing back, Su-Jin couldn't stop a nagging feeling that something was off.
"Uhm, is there something wrong with her?" Su-Jin asked the moment she was left alone with Seo-Jun.
"Is there any reason why it should be?" Seo-Jun blinked his bright eyes, looking particularly innocent and confused.
Su-Jin stared at him.
The man's expression was the same as always, bright and cheerful. It didn't seem as though he was concealing something.
Since she couldn't find anything suspicious, Su-Jin quickly pushed aside that strange feeling. After all, if something was indeed wrong with Yeon-Ah, it wasn't very likely for Seo-Jun to know.
'Well, if something really is the matter with her, considering how tight-lipped Yeon-Ah is about her private life, I'm pretty sure she wouldn't share it with Deputy Director Kim.' Su-Jin silently concluded.
While they waited for Yeon-Ah to return, Su-Jin and Seo-Jun talked about simple stuff, like the conditions in the hospital, whether the nurses were nice to her or if she had trouble with the other patients.
After Su-Jin assured Seo-Jun for the second time that her stay in the hospital had been comfortable, the man finally nodded in satisfaction.
As if to make her point, she continued to speak ruefully as she gestured with a hand towards her body.
"If it wasn't for this hospital gown, I would think I am on vacation. I almost feel guilty for being allowed to stay here while you all have to go to work."
"You don't have to worry about that, Miss Park. You will have plenty of time to catch up once you come back to work."
"About that, how is going with the team's proposal?"
"Well, we decided to hurry up and choose the concept earlier. As a matter of fact…" Seo-Jun paused for effect, flashing Su-Jin a wide grin before continuing to speak. "We actually chose the concept for our team's proposal during this morning's meeting."
"So soon? It's barely Wednesday."
Su-Jin gaped at the man in bewilderment. There were still two days left until Ji-Won's deadline, so shouldn't have they taken their time in choosing?
As if being able to read Su-Jin's thoughts, Seo-Jun let out a hearty laugh.
"It's alright. We already found the perfect concept, so there was no need to wait."
"Oh?"
Su-Jin was instantly curious to know what they had chosen in her absence.
Before the Sports Day she also came up with several ideas, but she wasn't satisfied with any of them. So, in a way, she was grateful for landing herself in the hospital and not having to share her list with anyone. Just imagining Ji-Won's dissatisfied expression gave her goosebumps all over.
Seo-Jun immediately took advantage of Su-Jin's interest being piqued. He raised a hand, tracing a line through the air above his head as if he was writing using invisible ink.
"The concept is called 'Fun time farming with your family'." he finished speaking in a loud, pompous voice, then quickly added in a prideful tone. "What do you think? Sounds good, doesn't it? Even the ever so critical Director Kang has agreed that the idea is very likely to receive the higher-ups' approval."
"Fun time farming with your family?" Su-Jin repeated slowly.
For some reason she felt that such a concept sounded simple, almost too… bland for a company such as Kangji Tourism. Who would want to go and spend time on a field, farming all day as a means of vacation? Even if they were going with their family, wouldn't that be either too boring or too tiring?
But, in the end, it wasn't her place to comment. Especially not if Director Kang had already expressed his approval.
Therefore, putting on a smile, Su-Jin quickly nodded her head.
Still, she couldn't fully hold back her skepticism regarding the feasibility of such an idea.
"Sounds like an interesting concept indeed, but didn't Director Kang say he wanted the location to be in the city? Where would we find farmland in Seoul or even on the outskirts?"
"Ah, that is the catch." Seo-Jun chuckled, leaning in towards her. "We don't actually need farmland, not a large one at least. Just a small patch of land would do."
Su-Jin blinked several times as she tried to wrap her head around the meaning behind his words.
'Am I missing something? Does he mean they actually found a place that has farmland in a city like Seoul? Is that even possible?'
Seeing Su-Jin's confused expression, Seo-Jun almost burst out laughing.
Upon noticing the man's curved eyes and amused expression, Su-Jin instantly realized that she was being made fun of.
Her eyebrows furrowed and she clicked her tongue in displeasure.
"Deputy Director Kim, please stop teasing me and tell me what you mean. What kind of concept is this about farming but not needing farmland?"
"That…"
Seo-Jun began speaking, but his words got cut off by his phone ringing.
He took it out of the pocket and glanced at the screen.
"I'm sorry. I have to take this." he directed an apologetic smile to Su-Jin.
She nodded quickly, gesturing for him not to worry about being rude.
Seo-Jun got up and walked towards the window. The moment he answered the phone and started talking, the door opened and Yeon-Ah entered the room.
"Sorry it took so long." The young woman offered a rueful smile. "I had to find the nurse and ask her for a vase. She couldn't find one and instead gave me this large glass container. It's not what I had in mind, but it's better than nothing I guess."
Saying this, Yeon-Ah presented the beautiful flowers that were now dipped in a layer of water. The container had a rather wide opening and it was made of translucent glass.
It didn't look elegant or anything, but Su-Jin felt that it fit the large bouquet quite nicely.
"Thank you very much, but you really didn't have to trouble yourself." Su-Jin smiled at her friend.
"It's no trouble." Yeon-Ah shook her head, placing the flowers on the table near the couch. "A hospital room should have flowers in order to look less dreary. Even a comfortable looking room like this one is no exception."
"I guess you're right." Su-Jin nodded in approval.
Without speaking, she let her eyes wander about the room.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Watching her friend's departing back, Su-Jin couldn't stop a nagging feeling that something was off.
"Uhm, is there something wrong with her?" Su-Jin asked the moment she was left alone with Seo-Jun.
