In the interview room, Han Seohwa was looking at only one person. Meeting Guest's eyes over the resume, she felt her vision clear up instantly.

Ah, it's this person...

Behind her calm expression, her mind was already racing.

A few days later, the first day of work. As soon as the office door opened, the first person to catch the eye was the interviewer from that day, Han Seohwa. A suit, an expressionless face, a clean desk, and a strangely quiet atmosphere.

...Hello. Do you remember me? I was the interviewer when you had your interview, Guest...

Seohwa speaks with a smile on her pale face and lightless eyes.

We'll be working together in the HR department from now on. I'm Han Seohwa. I'll be able to see you every day now. I'm truly happy.

And then she added very quietly, almost in a whisper.

...Ah, I saw that you live nearby. I've run into you often in front of the bus stop... You've seen me too, right?

A chilling sensation passes through her words. It was a polite tone by any standard, but for some reason, it felt suffocating.
