13. Breaking scene

••

"Wow... I am so full." Aera had finished her five pieces of chocolate ice cream. Isn't she exaggerating? Is she not an ordinary human? As we know, people will feel bored eating the third piece. But instead of complaining about it, she is more grateful because she finally feels full.

But basically, Aera really loves chocolate ice cream, whether it's milk chocolate, mint chocolate, or other chocolates.

"Have you feel full now?" asked Hyungtae turning his gaze to Aera. The person concerned nodded enthusiastically. "Then when will you move from my chair? All my tools are on my desk. Why are you even telling me to work at your desk like this?" Hyungtae whined in annoyance but still spoke softly to the girl who stole his chair. "I like your chair, Kim. It's more comfortable than mine. It's also softer," replied Aera. She tries to explain why she doesn't want to move from there.

Aera also occasionally wiggles her body on Hyungtae's chair. It feels like Hyungtae really wants to give back sound every Aera movement there is like 'tuing tuing tuing~~~'. It looks very adorable but also annoying. His work is hampered, but strangely he doesn't have the heart to scold Aera. "Well, if you like my chair, take it. You can use it, but how about moving to your own table?" said Hyungtae bidding, hoping that Aera would hand over his desk. It is weird even though it is his desk, of course... he is the one who should sit there. But because Aera takes it for some reason, he can't bear to take it roughly.

"Okay, please help me move the chair over there." Aera agreed with Hyungtae's suggestion. Actually, she does not intend to interfere with Hyungtae's work. But she doesn't know why today she wants to be a little childish. Hyungtae also agreed and lifted his own big chair that had been faithful to accompany him when he worked. He experienced many new things because of Aera. He feels unfamiliar but interesting, making him more curious every day. There will be new things, especially what Aera will show him.

"Wow... Kim, you look very handsome when you lift that chair." Aera said. She is honest with her words. Hyungtae looks cool as a real man when he lifts a chair for her. "Really? I can lift you too and will I look more handsome, right?" Hyungtae asked to tease her. "No need. I can still move on my own without needing help." Aera refused casually as she passed Hyungtae and sat back in the chair that had recently become her favorite chair.

"Just watch! one day, you will be happy when I carry you." tease to the end. "We'd better end your stupid conversation, Kim because I need to pee now." Aera had finished so much cold food earlier that her bladder asked to be taken to the toilet immediately. "Where's the toilet?" asked Aera then.

"There, in the corner of the room with the brown door. That's where it is." Hyungtae explained while pointing at the place he mentioned. "Really? Thank you." Aera hastily stood up and walked towards the private toilet that Hyungtae pointed out in their room. "But unfortunately, the toilet is broken, soon the officers will be there to fix it." continued Hyungtae, before Aera reached the place.

"Oh, why don't you tell me earlier. Then where should I go?" Aera is irritated as if she is being toyed with, just watch one day, and she will definitely take revenge.

"Downstairs, you can go to the employees' public toilet. That's fine, isn't it?" Hyungtae asked. He is a little worried about Aera because the workers in this office looked unfriendly to Aera. Meanwhile, he is busy and should finish his work soon. So he can't accompany Aera downstairs.

"No problem, I'll go myself. You don't have to worry about me. I'll ask people more clearly where the toilet is later," replied Aera calming Hyungtae, because judging by the look on his face Hyungtae is a little worried. "Alright, be careful not to get hurt," said Hyungtae for the last time. "You're like I'm going anywhere. I'm just going to the toilet for a while." Aera tried to calm Hyungtae and immediately left the room because she can't stand the urge to pee anymore.

Two office girls were seen in front of the toilet glass when Aera entered. They looked at each other as Aera enter the toilet. Aera felt that gaze bothering her a bit as if the girl is showing her dislike.

"So this is the girl who clung to Kim Hyungtae." said one of the two girls earlier, but now the one who speaks is not the girl who met Aera's gaze. When her name was called, Aera just kept quiet and glanced around, then continued to wash her hands which had been delayed for a while. "Not friendly at all. Why don't you answer?" said the girl who had met Aera's eyes. "How do you want me to answer? I don't feel like I am clinging to him, so I just kept quiet," said Aera casually, then continued to adjust her lipstick while facing the mirror.

"You look pretty. It's okay, but your attitude isn't that great." quipped the shoulder-length hair girl. "Oh, thank you. I appreciate it when you compliment me on being pretty." Now Aera can properly serve the two girls because she has finished cleaning herself. "You shameless, that's not what I meant. You don't deserve to be with Mr. Kim."

"Who are you to judge me? Are you his girlfriend? Or maybe his wife?" asked Aera cornering. She is surprised by the habits of girls now. They always feel that the person they like is already theirs. So when they feel their position is disturbed, they will immediately take action by bullying. Even though, Hyungtae doesn't admit it. Aera is also sure they are not as close as she is with Hyungtae.

"How dare you!!!. I warned you, don't feel that you are great because you can cling to Mr. Kim. You have to remember where you are bitch." The sarcasm of the short-haired girl earlier, she can't stand Aera's arrogance. "Ah! so funny, where do you think I stand? You dare threaten me behind Kim's back, then why don't you just forbid Kim from dealing with me?" Aera is furious with the two of them, feeling pretentious. They think Aera is a weak girl who is easily bullied, when they turn things around like this and just silent, those of you bastard.

"Why are you so arrogant? Just watch after this you will definitely be dumped by Mr. Kim. Don't overdo it! Do you think he likes you? What a crazy girl." The girl continued now, even with her hands folded in front of her chest, not wanting to end this stupid conversation right away. "Then how about you? Who are you for Kim, that criticizes me like that? Even... you don't seem to have spoken more than five minutes with him. You have to watch your attitude and your mouth."

clack!!

The toilet door is open. A man with long legs entered the women's restroom, where the girls arguing.
