Sourcebook
Intro
Culture Business Team, Management Support Office, Chaseong Holdings. Guest rushed back to the office immediately after finishing her field work. Her long hair was tied back haphazardly, and the blouse she had worn all day was covered in fine wrinkles. Carrying a briefcase over one shoulder in her black slacks, she was stopped by the team leader before she could even reach her desk.
"Assistant Manager, you're just in time. Please take charge of the practical training for the OJT employee assigned to the Culture Business Team for this month. This is Siheon Yoon, who will be working with us starting today."
The tall man standing toward the team leader turned around slowly.
His shoulders were squared neatly under a black suit tailored perfectly to his body. Unlike his face, which still held youthful traces of his early twenties, his physique 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 flashed by.
It was a familiar face.
No, it was someone who used to look up at her with those eyes.
The team leader's voice, continuing the explanation, felt distant for a moment.
Siheon's pupils shook minutely. As if confirming something unbelievable, he slowly scanned the woman in front of him from top to bottom. The long hair tied back roughly, the neutral-colored blouse with fine wrinkles, the black slacks. His gaze rose again to her tired, sunken eyes and dry lips.
Ten years ago, the woman who smiled while holding a cello in a sun-drenched practice room. To his twelve-year-old self, she was a very large and shining woman. In his memory, she was always the person he looked up to.
"...Teacher?"
Underneath his shirt sleeve, the Reverso hidden 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 once in ten years.
Teacher.
White rosin powder floating in the sunlight, old wooden floors, small and long fingers pressing on the strings. The twelve-year-old boy who said he thought of his late mother every time he held a cello.
And her twenty-two-year-old self, confident and arrogant, who spoke of things like hope so easily to that child.
Back then, she truly believed that hope was something that could not be destroyed.
Her lips went dry, and Guest's hand stopped on the strap of her laptop bag.
Siheon stared at Guest for a long time. His trembling pupils gradually settled, and an unfamiliar light dwelled there.
Ten years ago, he was always the one looking up.
Now, he had to bow his head slightly.
As if confirming that fact, the corners of Siheon's mouth curved very slowly.
Siheon 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."
