Chapter 95: Ribbon Hunt

That night Su-Jin felt her mind burning with thoughts. Everything that happened during the day rushed inside her head, making her feel both confused and annoyed.

She couldn't understand what Director Kang was thinking, acting all hot and cold towards her. One moment he was glaring at her, the next he was helping her, only to end up scowling again.

'And what was that all about with Ji-Su? Do they know each other? But based on their interaction, even if they knew each other, they don't seem to get along very well.' Su-Jin thought, as flashes of the earlier events came rushing back in front of her eyes.

While her thoughts slowly turned towards the brown-haired man, Su-Jin began feeling slightly annoyed. 

Ji-Su had indeed found her ring, but he also refused to give it back, unless she told him who it was from. As if she could say that to just anyone! Besides, wasn't it bad manners to ask for compensation when doing a good deed?

Also, another thing that was intriguing to Su-Jin was the fact that Ji-Su had been gone all day. Due to that, he missed the first part of the company's Sports Day. 

That was definitely something not everyone could do. Therefore, Su-Jin suddenly began to wonder about Ji-Su's true identity. 

'Who is this man I wonder? He doesn't have a problem skipping a company event that not even old Director Kwon dared to miss. He is also fearless when confronting Director Kang as though he doesn't care about the consequences. There is no way he can be an ordinary employee. But, based on his personality alone, Ji-Su never appeared smug or affected in any way. Would he be so casual and easygoing if he were someone important? I don't think so.'

Just like that, Su-Jin fell asleep while pondering over Ji-Su, as well as his relationship with Director Kang Ji-Won.

The next day after breakfast, everyone gathered outside in front of the inn. The head of the Organizational Team explained the rules of the second part of Kangji Tourism's Sports Day.

That day they were going to have a 'ribbon hunt' event. It was going to be similar to a treasure hunt but, instead of finding clues, they had to find colored ribbons. Each piece of fabric, depending on the color, was worth a certain amount of points. 

There were going to be white, yellow, green, red and black ribbons scattered throughout a certain area of the forest. These would be worth one point, three points, five points, seven points and ten points, respectively. The black ribbons were going to be the rarest, while the white ones would be very easy to find and more numerous.

For this event, each department was going to be split into teams made of two people. 

Therefore, they all wrote the members' names on small pieces of paper and got ready to draw lots. Only half of each department was going to choose a paper with a name, while the other half was waiting to see who they were going to be paired with. 

A small transparent box was placed on a table in front of everyone. Then, all the employees formed a line, getting ready to take turns.

While she waited for her turn, Su-Jin glanced around several times. To her disappointment, though, she didn't find the person she was looking for.

'It seems Ji-Su is not here. Is he late again or is he not coming to the event at all?' She wondered silently. 

Little did Su-Jin know that Ji-Su was actually around at the time she was looking for him. But, since he was part of the team that helped organize the event, Ji-Su wasn't required to take actual part in the hunt. Therefore, he was standing somewhere behind the group of employees, waiting for the event to begin. 

He noticed Su-Jin glancing around and knew she was looking for him. With a smile on his face, he was just getting ready to wave at her, when something else caught his attention. 

For some strange reason, Ji-Su's eyes were unexpectedly drawn towards Ji-Won. The moment he saw his brother's back, Ji-Su hesitated.

In the end, he didn't call out to Su-Jin. He lowered his hand and remained quietly in the back, watching as person after person went towards the box to draw a name.

The planning Department was the last one to draw. 

Su-Jin felt her nerves spiking as she picked up a small piece of paper, containing her partner's name. She unfolded it with trembling fingers and, to her horror, saw Director Kang's name scribbled on the white paper.

'Out of all people… It had to be him… What kind of shitty luck is this, huh?!' She thought dejectedly.

But then, Su-Jin suddenly remembered her ring. Hence, she managed to see a glimmer of hope in this rather unwanted situation. If things went well, perhaps she would be able to retrieve her precious object while they searched for the colored ribbons.

With newfound determination, Su-Jin stepped forward. She then showed the paper to the person in charge of writing down the pairs. During this entire time, she couldn't stop glancing nervously in Director Kang's direction. 

While Su-Jin was feeling so nervous and unsettled, Ji-Won appeared to be completely disinterested in anything that was going on around him. 

With his hands shoved inside his pockets, Ji-Won kept staring at his feet the entire time.

Once their names were finally written down, Su-Jin retreated, allowing the next person to draw a piece of paper from the box. 

The next pair was made of Yeon-Ah and Jung Seok, while Seo-Jun was paired with a young woman from Planning Team 2. 

With a slight twinge of irritation, Yeon-Ah saw the woman smiling and waving excitedly at Deputy Director Kim and noticed him returning the smile.

Taking a deep breath, Yeon-Ah willed herself to look away. She told herself to ignore the man completely, to think of him as air.. For that purpose, she focused on casually talking with her own partner.
