◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
The company began to move at the same time as usual.
Around 10 a.m., people started coming to work one by one, and their attire was casual, reflecting the company’s free atmosphere.
Perhaps because the energy of summer was one step closer, the footsteps of the people coming to work were light, as were their clothes.
It was the usual scene at the company.
However, the employees gathered in small groups began to talk about the big issue that had occurred in the morning.
‘In-ho is strange.’
It was a story about how Kang In-ho, the only male in the department and someone who took on all the difficult tasks, was acting strange.
Whether it was because he was exhausted from working so much overtime, Kang In-ho, who always used to smile, was now slouched over, leaning back, and looking at the ceiling, completely disheveled.
“There’s been a lot of overtime lately.”
Someone said, sipping on coffee that was freshly brewed from a cafe near the company.
“Right. Mina-nim made In-ho work overtime to submit the proposal.”
“Ugh, I don’t know why she does that. Honestly, it’s not something In-ho has to do, is it?”
“Has In-ho been targeted by Mina-nim…”
“Huh? I thought Mina-nim was interested in In-ho, so she was doing that.”
“I thought so at first too. But that’s not being interested, that’s just bullying him. If it were me, I would have already submitted my resignation.”
“Look at the dark circles under In-ho’s eyes. It’s so sad. Tsk tsk.”
Although he could hear people whispering about him here and there, In-ho remained motionless like a robot toy with a dead battery.
He was just counting the patterns on the ceiling with empty eyes.
No, to be exact, he was looking at a message that had appeared in the air.
[Guidance on Dimensional Travel – 2]
[Possession of a target who is deceased or in an irreversible unconscious state in this dimension.]
[Number of dimensional travels: 3]
‘So, the original owner of this body was dead. Dying while working overtime, that’s a very sad life.’
Perhaps it was because he was also a former office worker, but he felt sympathy for the original owner of the body.
‘Three dimensional travels. The dimension where I was stabbed. The dimension where I was given a drug injection. And now here.’
While organizing his thoughts, In-ho got up, and when he moved after being motionless for a whole hour, people’s attention was drawn to him.
He took a towel from his drawer and went to the bathroom.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
In the men’s bathroom, In-ho roughly washed his face by splashing water.
He put toothpaste on his toothbrush and cleaned his teeth, and then he used the razor that was in his place to shave his overgrown beard.
After tidying himself up, In-ho looked in the mirror.
‘Is giving me a handsome face the last of your conscience? You pigeon bitch.’
Looking at the unfamiliar face of a man who was also quite handsome this time, In-ho gave a bitter smile.
He seriously thought about whether they could just revive him in his original dimension instead of giving him this kind of consideration.
‘Today is Friday. Since I don’t know anything about the company, I should take sick leave and buy some time.’
After the dimensional travel, In-ho was in despair, but that didn’t mean that he had given up.
Since he had traveled dimensions, he had to adapt to this place again.
Obtaining personal information was easier than in the last dimension.
First of all, his phone was unlocked with fingerprint recognition, and he was able to view personal information on the company intranet that was logged in.
He dried his face with a towel and returned to his seat.
Normally, his colleagues would have approached him and greeted him, but perhaps because of his hardened face, no one approached him.
“Um… I’m going to take sick leave today.”
In-ho turned off his computer and asked the employee next to him.
The employee at the seat with the name tag ‘Kim Yuna’ tilted her head.
“You’ll have to tell Mina-nim… but In-ho-ssi, we have the morning scrum today. You have to attend that. Are you really not feeling well?”
“When… when does the scrum start? How long does it take?”
“Huh? Ah… It’s at the usual time, 11 a.m. It takes about 30 minutes. In-ho-ssi, you look very pale today.”
“Thank you for letting me know.”
The time was 10:45 a.m.
Sick leave reports had to be made to ‘Lee Mina.’
According to the organizational chart, she was a team leader.
Probably the team leader of where I belonged.
Thinking it was an awkward time to leave, he decided to attend the morning scrum.
At 10:55 a.m., he saw the employees around him getting up, and In-ho also got up, following their lead.
‘I don’t know what kind of company it is, but it’s a female-dominated company.’
He thought as he saw that everyone except him was female.
They entered the conference room and sat down in their chairs, waiting for someone.
“She’s a bit late today.”
One employee said.
“It seems like the leadership meeting is taking a long time. Ah, she’s coming.”
An employee who was near the door said, looking through the glass door.
Soon, the door opened and a slender woman entered.
She had the typical look of an office lady, and her short black bobbed hair was striking.
In-ho made eye contact with her.
And realized.
‘In this dimension… it’s that woman.’
