That Face Is the Problem - Chapter 5.2
Jeong Jae-gyeong pressed his throbbing head with his fists, muttering to himself. He downed two cups of cold water in a row and took a thorough shower. Wearing a simple white t-shirt and jeans, Jae-gyeong examined his reflection in the mirror. He looked the same as usual: pale, lanky, and sickly.
“I should apologize to Da-sol…”
Besides the scenes he remembered, he had apparently grabbed Da-sol and cried uncontrollably, so he would need to apologize for that properly too.
But what should he give when apologizing? He had never formally apologized to anyone before, so he felt unsure. Jae-gyeong picked up his phone with an awkward expression.
‘How to apologize’
‘Proper apology’
‘Apology gift’
‘Not the fruit apple, but a gift to say sorry’
After changing the search terms several times, Jae-gyeong finally found a plausible answer.
Hello~ everyone~
Today we will learn about how to apologize properly!
Here, apology does not mean eating an apple (apple: aeppol, not the brand, note), but sso-ri;;~ meaning sorry!! Hahaha
In life, there are times when you wrong your family, friends, #boyfrienddatesuggestions, #girlfrienddatesuggestions, etc. At those times, it is very important to apologize sincerely!!
So!!!
Properly apologizing is really important in life~
In my case, I gave my wife her favorite brand, lol #Carella #CarellaSunglasses #CarellaGlasses #CarellaTintedSunglasses, and she loved it-_ㅠ;;,, they say a woman’s heart is like a reed~~ lol
But actually, the best gift seems to be cash, lol (my wife agrees~ haha money is best;; wise wife lol)
Anyway, today we learned how to say sorry properly~~ If it helped, please like, comment, and follow~~

Although there was some advertising mixed in, the part about cash being the best gift seemed true. Since Da-sol’s clothes had been soaked with tears, it would be good to give cash as laundry compensation. But how much should he give for laundry?
Jae-gyeong searched diligently again. Starting from laundry compensation and cash gifts, the search led him to gift certificates, gold transactions, and even wedding congratulatory money.
Congratulatory money… Tears quickly welled in Jae-gyeong’s eyes again. In about two months, Seo Da-in’s wedding would take place. He would not attend, but all his former colleagues would give congratulatory money, laughing and clapping. Seo Da-in in her wedding dress would be dazzlingly beautiful. Happy beside another man… No, stop. He had promised himself not to think about that.
Jae-gyeong steadied his heart. Then his eyes were caught by a line on his phone.
‘For coworkers or casual friends, 100,000 won. For closer friends, 200,000 won. For best friends, give as much as you like,’ was someone’s advice.
Da-sol is a coworker, so 100,000 won should be enough. Jae-gyeong’s thoughts naturally settled there. He sniffled and checked his wallet. He had only 24,000 won in cash.
It was 9:10 a.m. He had agreed to meet lightly at 10 a.m. for a team mock training, so there was still time. Jae-gyeong left home a bit earlier, withdrew two 50,000 won bills from an ATM, and put the crisp notes into an envelope available inside the bank.
‘I am giving this for laundry. I am really sorry about yesterday.’ Saying this while handing over the envelope would not be strange at all and would make him look like a polite and considerate colleague.
Jae-gyeong rehearsed his words countless times in his head as he headed to the training guild. The guild building was only a 15-minute walk from his home. He held the crossbody bag with the money envelope tightly with one arm and entered the guild.
As soon as he greeted the security guards, swiped his card for guild member access, and passed through the entrance, he saw a pretty person standing by the elevator.
Da-in…? Jae-gyeong muttered the name under his breath and quickly bit his tongue in surprise. Of course, the person waiting for the elevator was not Da-in.
‘Really, they look so alike…’
Jae-gyeong swallowed the saliva pooling around his dry tongue and cautiously approached Da-sol.
“Hello…”
His greeting lacked confidence, but it succeeded in catching Da-sol’s attention. Da-sol looked up at Jae-gyeong, who was about a head taller, maybe a head and a half.
“…Mm.”
Da-sol responded indifferently and looked straight ahead again. Seeing his side profile, sweat broke out on Jae-gyeong’s palms. He fiddled with the strap of his bag meaninglessly and muttered, “Ah.” Then he took the money envelope out of his bag.
“Da-sol… this is for you…”
