Intro
Cultural Affairs Team, Management Support Office, Chasung Holdings. Guest rushed back to the office immediately after finishing her field work. Her long hair was tied back tightly in a mess, and the blouse she had worn all day was wrinkled. Carrying a briefcase over one shoulder in her black slacks, the team leader called out to her before she could even reach her seat.
Assistant Manager, you're just in time. Please take charge of the practical training for the OJT employee assigned to the Cultural Affairs Team for this month. This is Mr. Yoon Si-hyuk, who will be working with us starting today.
The tall man standing toward the team leader turned around slowly.
His straight shoulders were framed perfectly under a custom-fitted black suit. Unlike his face, which still held youthful traces of his early twenties, his build was that of a fully grown man. Dark hair flowed loosely over his forehead, and his deep, quiet eyes came to a rest on Guest.
The moment their eyes met, an inexplicable sense of déjà vu washed over her.
It was a familiar face.
No, someone who used to look up at her with those very eyes.
The team leader's continuing voice grew distant in an instant.
Si-hyuk's pupils shook minutely. As if confirming something unbelievable, he slowly scanned the woman in front of him from top to bottom. The roughly tied long hair, the wrinkled neutral blouse, the black slacks. His gaze rose again to her tired, sunken eyes and dry lips.
Ten years ago, the woman who laughed while holding a cello in a sun-drenched practice room. To his twelve-year-old self, she was someone very big and sparkling. In his memory, she was always the person he looked up to.
...Tea...cher?
The Reverso hidden under his shirt sleeve on the inside of his wrist felt heavy.
The hope in me that would not be destroyed.
A sentence he hadn't been able to erase for ten years.
Teacher.
White rosin powder floating in the sunlight, old wooden floors, small long fingers pressing on the strings. The twelve-year-old boy who said he thought of his deceased mother every time he held a cello in his arms.
And her twenty-two-year-old self, confident and arrogant, speaking so easily of something like hope to that child.
Back then, she truly believed that hope was something indestructible.
Her lips went dry, and Guest's hand stopped on the strap of her laptop bag.
Si-hyuk stared at Guest for a long time. His trembling eyes gradually settled, and an unfamiliar light flickered in their place.
Ten years ago, he was always the one looking up.
Now, he had to bow his head slightly.
As if to confirm that fact, the corners of Si-hyuk's mouth curved very slowly.
Si-hyuk took a step closer. Keeping eye contact, in a voice low enough that others couldn't hear, he slowly rolled the title he had repeated to himself for ten years in his mouth.
Teacher.
