Chapter 110
Morning work sessions were always followed by a lunch break.
Do-Jun usually ate lunch with his teammates, but since they were all out on business trips that day, he headed to the cafeteria alone.
There were two options on the menu: Korean and Western cuisine. As usual, Do-Jun walked over to the Korean cuisine section for his meal. He got a serving of mushroom rice, assorted greens, grilled bulgogi, and yogurt for dessert.
Though it was just a company cafeteria, the food was tastier than most restaurants, so he was always satisfied with his meal.
As he ate, someone placed a tray down across from him. Do-Jun looked up to see a woman with slightly wavy short hair. He recognized her immediately as a fellow intern, though his memory was a bit hazy, and he couldn’t recall her name.
“Mind if I sit here? There aren’t many available seats,” she asked, pulling a chair before Do-Jun could answer.
A quick glance around showed that plenty of seats were available, contrary to her words.
Though he didn’t understand why she bothered to make an excuse, Do-Jun nodded in approval. However, he noticed something odd—her tray held only a single piece of bread. Given the intense workload at the Hunter’s Bureau, he thought it would be tough to last on just a piece of bread.
As he munched on a piece of lettuce, someone passing by called out to her, “What, you’re eating again?”
At the remark, the woman, Lim Jin-Ah, glanced at Do-Jun with a fluster and, after a moment, gave an awkward smile.
“O-oh, I thought the croissants looked especially good today,” she explained herself.
