Meanwhile, in the room next door, Ji-Won and Seo-Jun were also getting ready for the sports competitions.
Their room was almost identical to Su-Jin and Yeon-Ah's, the only difference being that the bathroom had different coloring.
The moment Ji-Won opened the door to the bathroom, his eyes were immediately assaulted by a pale pink hue. Soft golden specks were scattered here and there across the walls, creating the illusion of golden flakes dancing all around the room.
Ji-Won suddenly repressed a shudder.
"I think we took the wrong room." Ji-Won whispered to himself.
He looked absolutely horror-struck. His face contorted slightly, looking almost as black as the bottom of a pot. No matter how he looked at it, that wasn't a bathroom fit for two adult males.
"Why? I think it's lovely."
Seo-Jun's voice sounded right behind him, making Ji-Won jump.
Ji-Won whipped around, his eyes widening in disbelief. Nevertheless, his startled expression soon changed into a sour one.
Without a word, he pushed past his friend and went onto the terrace.
Seo-Jun followed him outside, quietly stopping on Ji-Won's right side.
They both stood there, silently gazing at the scenery, until finally, after two minutes, Seo-Jun decided to speak first.
"Did something happen?"
"No. Why?"
"Because you act even ruder than before. I never thought it would be possible for you to add another level to that sour attitude of yours. And here you are, surprising me like this." Seo-Jun said, rolling his eyes. He leaned against the railing of the terrace and shot Ji-Won a scrutinizing stare. "So, what happened?"
"I told you. Nothing happened." Ji-Won sighed, closing his eyes for a moment. "I'm just tired."
"Sure, and I am an old grandpa with arthritis." Seo-Jun mocked.
"Just wait a few more years and you will get there." Ji-Won retorted, opening his eyes slowly.
He looked up at the sky, breathing in and out slowly.
The fresh mountain air should have relaxed him. It should have helped with calming his mind and body.
However, to Ji-Won's annoyance, the feverish sensation he felt in his chest didn't diminish at all. If anything, it felt even more pronounced and he couldn't understand why he was feeling like that. What possible reason could he have to be so irked? Other than Seo-Jun's annoying stares, that is.
Sensing his friend's intense gaze, Ji-Won ultimately turned his head to look at him.
"Let's go. They will be gathering everyone downstairs soon and we shouldn't be late."
As he said that, Ji-Won left the terrace and headed towards the door.
Seo-Jun remained still for a moment, looking as if he wanted to say something. He opened his mouth slightly, but a second later he decided against it.
Closing his mouth, Seo-Jun pressed his lips into a firm line. A rare sign of annoyance appeared on his face. Without a single word, he followed Ji-Won outside the room, locking the door behind him.
Shortly after, the two pairs met at the base of the stairs. They were soon followed by Jung Seok and the rest of the Planning Department.
Su-Jin looked around at everyone and was pleased to see their cheerful expressions.
When Ji-Won and Seo-Jun finally approached, Su-Jin had to stifle a gasp.
Whether it was their outfits or their overall appearance, the two men looked as different as ever. One could easily say that they were opposites as night and day.
Ji-Won's clothes were a dark blue, matching perfectly with his pitch-black hair, while Seo-Jun's garments were a vibrant green, in tone with his gleeful personality.
'One looks like the sky before midnight, while the other one shines like a summer day.' Su-Jin mused to herself.
There was something strange in seeing the two of them wear sports attires instead of the neat costumes they usually wore at work. It gave Su-Jin a glimpse at a different side of them, one she could never have seen otherwise.
This was one of the reasons she had always wanted to take part in a corporate event outside company grounds. Just like it was the case with the volunteering activity the other day, this Sports Day gave the employees a chance to interact with each other beyond the company's strict environment. They could all speak and act without being bound by the same every-day rules or by their positions.
During a sports day it didn't matter who was higher than the other. All that it mattered was for the teams to work together and build their cohesion.
For the purpose of improving their teamwork, each Department was to form a team and take part in different friendly competitions. There was going to be a sack race, a three-legged race, a rally and, ultimately, a 2km race.
After they were told the rules, as well as a few organizational details, the whole group moved towards the field they had seen that morning when they arrived.
The head of the Organizational Team came up to the front and called for silence. It took everyone a few seconds to notice the man and to finally quiet down. After the head of the Organizational Team saw that he had the entire group's attention, he cleared his throat and began speaking loudly.
"For identification purposes, you will all be given colored vests." He said, pointing towards a pile of clothes placed in boxes to his right. "Each Department and, consequently, each team, will wear a different color that had already been assigned to them. After I read the list, I will ask a representative from each team to come forward and pick up the vests."
With that, the man pulled out a sheet of paper from a back pocket and began reading.
After the Accounting Department, which was given the color red, and the Administration Department, which was allocated purple, finally came the Planning Department's turn.
To Su-Jin's delight, they were given the color blue. She always liked it and thought it would look good with her white t-shirt and pale blue sweatpants.
"Ah, that's too bad. I would have preferred pink." Someone said in a low whisper.
Even though it had been a whisper, Su-Jin picked up the words. With eyes wide in shock, she turned her head, wanting to find out who could possibly have said that.
That's when she saw Seo-Jun leaning closer to Ji-Won, grinning from ear to ear. It was clear that whatever they were talking about in low whispers made the former giddy as a little kid, while it annoyed the latter to no end.
Witnessing this scene, Su-Jin felt like laughing out loud, so she quickly lowered her head in order to hide her chuckles.
