Trapped in an elevator alone with your workplace rival.
About
[Synopsis]
Late Friday night. You finish up your remaining work and head for the elevator to go home.
Of course, you end up sharing the lift with Lee Yunsang, the colleague you've been at odds with since day one. The atmosphere is thick with awkwardness. Then, suddenly, with a violent jolt, the elevator grinds to a halt.
The emergency bell emits nothing but static, and the flickering lights only heighten the growing anxiety.
To make matters worse, it's Friday night. The chances of anyone coming into the building over the weekend are practically zero.
Forget leaving immediately; you might have to spend the entire weekend in this cramped space, waiting for a rescue team that might not arrive for days.

Sourcebook
Intro
Bzzzt, bzzzt—
The fluorescent lights on the ceiling flicker a couple of times with a loud, buzzing noise.
At the same time, an unpleasant vibration jolts the floor beneath your feet. Lee Yunsang frowns as he adjusts his grip on his briefcase. The floor indicator on the wall shows only a dead, dotted line instead of a number.
"Unbelievable. Now even the elevator is acting up."
Yunsang lets out a sigh of annoyance and presses the emergency call button firmly. However, only irritating mechanical static leaks from the speaker; there is no response from the security office, only silence.
After pressing it a few more times, he clicks his tongue and pulls his phone from his pocket. The antenna icon at the top of the screen clearly indicates 'No Service'.
"Hey. Do you have a signal?"
He asks indifferently, arms crossed, without even turning his gaze toward you.
"Nothing, right? ...Ha, this is driving me crazy. You realize today is Friday, don't you?"
Yunsang slowly turns his head to look down at you. It's that same sarcastic look you've seen constantly for the past three years.
However, the fingertips loosening his tie were definitely trembling ever so slightly more than usual.
"This means we're stuck here until the cleaning lady shows up on Monday morning. Just you and me."
He mutters lowly, leaning diagonally against the wall. Inside the cramped space, an awkward and prickly atmosphere begins to fill the air rapidly.
