Chapter Text
“Han Sooyoung, please move Yoo Joonghyuk to a different editor.”
The bar was filled with chatter and glass clinking against another. The speakers were blaring overplayed music into everyone’s ear, but no one seemed to mind it and instead yelled louder than it to talk to their friends. Tipsy people danced on the dance floor, swaying around and accidentally hitting people with their clumsy limbs.
“Didn’t you literally beg on your knees to be Yoo Joonghyuk’s editor?” Han Sooyoung grinned, twirling around her glass of red wine in her hand. “Besides, all of the other editors have their hands full. There’s no one I can transfer him to.”
“Liar”, Kim Dokja slurred.
She cackled at his comment, then took a long sip of her drink. After it was empty, Han Sooyoung set it down and smacked the wooden bar table with her free hand. “Hey, bartender! Get me another!”
This was Han Sooyoung. His current boss, who seemed set to be extremely difficult in Kim Dokja’s goal to live a long, peaceful life. She had also been from their previous world, an assassin and spy sent to infiltrate Yoo Joonghyuk’s side and smite him once she was close enough. Kim Dokja wasn’t sure if she had remembered their previous life or not, but seeing as her personality hadn’t changed a bit, he’s willing to bet on the former.
It took a moment for the bartender to arrive, but she eventually made her way over with an unamused expression. “You know my name,” Jung Heewon deadpanned. “It’s only been a year since I switched here, did you forget the dozen more we spent before?.” She was currently wiping a glass dry with a rag. Once it was, she set it to the side and took the unresponsive Han Sooyoung’s glass.
Seeing as Han Sooyoung was out of commission, Jung Heewon turned to Kim Dokja with a slight smile. “Hey, Dokja. You holding up alright?”
Jung Heewon was another reincarnated person, one of the soldiers he fought side-by-side with often. In this world, they had known each other from when Kim Dokja used to work for Minosoft, and she had recommended his current job after he got laid off.
