Su-Jin had been staying in the hospital for the past three or four days.
During this time, she had grown accustomed to her environment. The conditions were much better than she had initially expected, so it was very easy to forget where you were.
But just like Yeon-Ah said, despite all the comfort and pretty decorations, it was still a hospital room.
Just then, Seo-Jun's voice pulled Su-Jin out of her reverie.
"Alright, I understand. I will see you there." he said, hanging up the call.
After finishing the conversation, Seo-Jun walked back to his chair, but didn't sit back down. Instead, he put the phone back into his pocket and smiled towards the two women.
"Miss Park, Miss Lee, I am afraid I have to leave you two alone. I have to go back to the company for a quick meeting."
He paused, then turned to look at Su-Jin.
"Miss Park, can you please contact that friend of yours, the artist, and ask her to come by the company tomorrow? It's just for an hour or two at most. Since the concept has been decided in advance, Director Kang wants to speak to her about the promotional pictures, as well as other details."
"Of course. I will let her know as soon as possible."
"Perfect! Thank you, Miss Park." Seo-Jun beamed at her. "I'll be off now. Wouldn't want to be late and cause Director Kang to get angry."
"Mn, good luck, Deputy Director Kim. And thank you for the visit." Su-Jin bowed her head.
Seo-Jun waved his hand in dismissal, said another goodbye and off he was.
Looking at the man running as though he had an army of imps on his trail, Su-Jin couldn't help but sigh.
"Poor Deputy Director Kim. I wonder how he managed to work with a person like Director Kang all this time. Not only that, but even being good friends." Su-Jin shook her head in consternation. "Truly amazing how two people, while being so different, can be this close. Don't you think so, Yeon-Ah?"
Yeon-Ah smiled at the question. She leaned back into the chair and thought for a moment before replying.
"Sometimes, it's exactly those differences that make people grow closer or work better together. Despite the dissimilarity in their personalities, I think Deputy Director Kim and Director Kang complement each other well. From what I've seen this week, they make a great team together."
"I guess you are right." Su-Jin admitted, albeit reluctantly. "Maybe it's one of those cases of opposites that attract. After all, that saying isn't reserved only for lovers, but also for friends and coworkers as well."
"Mn." Yeon-Ah gave a small nod.
"Anyway, let's talk about what happened at work this week." Su-Jin was suddenly excited. "Tell me more about the concept and how you guys chose it."
"Did Deputy Director Kim tell you about it?"
"He did, but without giving me any details." Su-Jin huffed in frustration. "So tell me, how does farming without farmland work exactly?"
Yeon-Ah shook her head smiling.
"It's not farming without farmland. The very idea is contradictory."
She paused, raising a finger to tap on her chin. She remained pensive for a short moment, thinking how to explain it better.
"Do you know those places where you can rent a room, pick your own vegetables and fruits from the garden, and even cook the meals yourself?"
"I've heard of them, but never visited one." Su-Jin pondered, then quickly shook her head. "But since they usually require large plots of land, those places are outside of Seoul, mostly in rural areas."
"Apparently there is such a place in one of the northern outskirts of Seoul. It's barely half an hour's ride from the city and has a large garden and even a fish pond. Granted, the area is smaller than the ones you just mentioned, but the principle is the same."
"Eh, I've never heard of this place before." Su-Jin's eyes went wide.
"Neither have I." Yeon-Ah shook her head, then added an explanation. "Jung Seok was the one who made the suggestion. When I asked him, he said his mother used to work there a few years ago, so he knows the location well."
"Sounds like an interesting idea. I wish we could all go there one day and have some fun."
"Me too. I bet my little brother would be very happy to play around their fields." Yeon-Ah chuckled at the image of her younger brother jumping around the vegetable garden or trying to chase the fish in the pond.
Su-Jin shared her amusement and the two women soon began laughing heartily.

In the meantime, Seo-Jun was just arriving at the company.
Not even three minutes later, the door to Ji-Won's office was flung open and Seo-Jun materialized inside, yelling at the top of his lungs.
"Honey, I'm home!"
Despite already being used to his friend's antics, Ji-Won was still startled by this overly dramatic entrance. The hand that was holding the pen shook and even the hair at the back of his neck stood on end.
Placing the pen down, Ji-Won began grumbling in dissatisfaction.
"Would it kill you to act like a normal human being for once? What the hell is that greeting supposed to be?!"
"Just something I felt like saying." Seo-Jun countered breezily, completely ignoring the death glares Ji-Won was shooting him.
"If someone saw you just now they would think you are a madman."
"Well, you saw me and you don't think that, so I don't have anything to worry about."
"Oh, don't I?" Ji-Won narrowed his eyes on the other man.
Seo-Jun, on the other hand, merely huffed out a laugh and flopped onto a chair.
"Besides, there is no one around the office except for us two. So, stop fussing like a shy maiden and tell me what you wanted to discuss."
Being thoroughly snubbed by Seo-Jun, Ji-Won could only give up the struggle. After all, trying to correct this man's conduct was like searching for phoenix feathers and unicorn horns1.
As a consequence, Ji-Won decided to shift his attention to a more serious subject.
