Chapter 160
As August began, the summer vacation season was in full swing.
The subway, usually packed like a sardine can during morning commutes, was now half-empty, and the once fully occupied seats were now sparsely filled. It made sense, as even the Fissure Management Division alone had about a quarter of the staff on leave.
“Vacation, huh...” For Do-Jun, it didn’t really matter whether he took a vacation or not. Simply going to work and doing his job was something he genuinely enjoyed. However, he knew that just because he felt this way didn’t mean others shared the same sentiment.
⌜The next stop is Seoul City Hall. Seoul City Hall Station. The doors will open on the right.⌟
Do-Jun arrived at the office at 8:50 AM. As usual, his senior, Hyuk-Soo, was already there. Cheol-Soo was on vacation, having gone to Jeju Island with his family. Hyuk-Soo had also mentioned that he would be taking his parents to Bangkok next week.
In the middle of his work, Hyuk-Soo casually asked out of curiosity, “Do-Jun, don’t you have any vacation plans yet?”
The other employees had already submitted detailed vacation plans, including the dates and destinations. However, Do-Jun said he hadn’t thought about it yet, leaving his plan form blank.
“I’m not sure,” he replied.

The next morning, Saturday.
Do-Jun sat down to read the newspaper while sipping his morning coffee. Suddenly, he paused and lowered the paper slightly. It was surprising to see Yong-Yong, who usually slept in late, up and watching TV before 8 AM.
