“Hey… You’re kidding, right?” Min-Seo said.
She was laughing, but her gaze was cold. Her eyes and her mouth were behaving completely differently. It was like a person who had never smiled before was trying to raise their lips to imitate a smile. It was a smile that felt somewhat eerie and awkward.
"...Don’t tell me you're serious?"
I remained silent, and Min-Seo glared at me with grotesquely furrowed eyebrows as if she couldn't understand. Min-Seo thought I was joking, but this was not a joke. I had completely forgotten that I needed to write a proposal.
"I forgot. I'm sorry."
I admitted my mistake and apologized. Unnecessary excuses would only have the opposite effect, and if the other person was Min-Seo, the backlash would only be worse. Perhaps it was because I had quickly apologized, but Min-Seo's distorted face gradually returned to normal. Fortunately, it seemed like her anger had subsided a bit.
"What the hell, you fucktard! That thing’s due today, and you’re saying that you forgot? What are we supposed to do now? Are you insane?”
…Nevermind.
Since I was getting battered by insults, I felt disoriented rather than angry. Moreover, it wasn’t a situation where I could get angry. Min-Seo had entrusted me with the task of writing the proposal, and I didn’t do it.
"Hey, he says that he’s sorry. No need to roast him that hard. It’s not like we’ll die if we don’t complete it by today, right? And if it was so urgent, you could have done it yourself."

Yu-Hyun and Jin-Seo shielded me from Min-Seo’s roasting. Yu-Hyun looked between me and Min-Seo with narrowed, piercing eyes, while Jin-Seo stared at Min-Seo with strangely relaxed eyes.
Min-Seo laughed as if she couldn't believe it.
"I clearly told you to do it last week, and you agreed, so how is it my fault that this troglodyte didn't do it? And am I supposed to forgive everything just because he apologized? It's not like the proposal will magically appear just because he said sorry..."
"Um, I'm sorry to interrupt," Ha-Yeon cut in, interrupting Min-Seo.
There seemed to be a pile of documents in her hand. From a rough glance, it looked like the thickness of the stack was quite significant.
Min-Seo looked at Ha-Yeon with a puzzled expression.
"What is it?"
"Actually, I wrote the proposal. Would you like to see it?"
"What? Then you should have given it to me earlier... Well, whatever, give it to me."
After taking away the proposal from Ha-Yeon as if she was stealing it, Min-Seo quickly skimmed through it. The wrinkles on her...
