Endless Laughing

In Su finally decided to ignore Chul and focus on the meeting.

He turned his attention back to the presentation, listening carefully to the team leader.

For a few moments, everything was peaceful.

Until...

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

Chul's loud laughter suddenly echoed throughout the meeting hall.

Everyone froze.

Slowly, one by one, all the heads turned toward him.

The client.

The team leader.

The entire team.

And finally...

In Su.

In Su's eyes widened in horror.

Oh God! 😱😱

He immediately turned toward Chul.

"Hey, Chul!"

Chul looked at him, completely confused.

"Hahahahaha! What, pal?"

In Su stared at him in disbelief.

"Meeting is going on!" 😨😏

He said it in a deep, husky voice.

"Stupid."

The moment that word left In Su's mouth...

Chul's laughter vanished.

Instantly.

Silence.

Chul slowly looked around.

That's when he finally noticed it.

Every single person in the meeting room was staring at him.

The room became painfully quiet.

Chul blinked.

Once.

Twice.

His smile slowly disappeared.

Oh no.

Gone.

It's all gone.

Chul... all these days, you worked so hard to build a strong impression.

You were respected.

You were professional.

You were the perfect director.

And today...

It's all gone.

Chul stared blankly at everyone.

It's okay.

Stay calm.

Think, Chul.

How are you going to handle this situation?

Suddenly, an idea struck him.

Chul straightened himself.

Eerrrr...

He adjusted his tie with great confidence.

Then, without saying another word, he stood up and walked toward the presentation screen.

Everyone watched him silently.

Chul stopped in front of the screen.

He looked at all of them.

Then he cleared his throat.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Everyone remained silent.

Chul pointed toward the screen.

"This is a great project, isn't it?"

Everyone nodded slowly.

"Then why should we waste our time with a presentation?"

The team members exchanged confused glances.

Chul continued confidently.

"Instead of sitting here and talking about the project for hours..."

He dramatically gestured toward the documents.

"Why don't we just start the work?"

Silence.

For one terrifying second, Chul wondered if his plan had failed.

Then suddenly—

"Superb, sir!" 👏👏👏

The team leader started clapping.

Everyone immediately joined him.

"Superb idea, sir!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Let's start the work!"

The meeting hall suddenly filled with happy applause.

Chul stood there proudly.

Yes!

I did it! 😎

I saved myself!

He glanced secretly toward In Su.

In Su was staring at him.

His expression was completely unimpressed.

Chul's smile faded slightly.

Oh...

In Su crossed his arms.

Chul...

You can easily brainwash all of them...

He narrowed his eyes.

But not me. 😏

The team leader walked toward Chul with a relieved smile.

"Thank you so much, sir! Honestly, I was really afraid that you wouldn't like the project."

Chul immediately waved his hand.

"Ah, it's okay, man."

He smiled warmly and patted the team leader's shoulder.

"Cheer up."

The team leader smiled.

"Yes, sir!"

"All the best."

Chul extended his hand.

The team leader shook it happily.

One by one, everyone started leaving the meeting hall.

"Thank you, sir."

"See you, sir."

"All the best for the project."

Chul smiled and waved at everyone.

"Yeah, yeah. Take care."

Soon, the meeting hall became quiet.

The last person walked out and closed the door behind him.

Silence.

Chul stood there.

He slowly turned around.

In Su was still sitting in his chair.

Chul looked at him.

In Su looked back at Chul.

For a moment...

Neither of them said anything.

The meeting was over.

Everyone was gone.

Now, there were only two people remaining.

Chul...

And In Su.

For a few seconds, neither of them moved.

They simply stood there, looking at each other from across the room.

Chul's lips slowly curved into a smile.

In Su noticed it.

He tried his best to keep a straight face.

But then...

Chul raised his eyebrows.

In Su raised his eyebrows back.

They stared at each other.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

And then—

"Pfffft..."

In Su couldn't hold it anymore.

He burst out laughing.

"Hahahahahaha!"

The moment Chul heard him, he completely lost it too.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Soon, both of them were laughing uncontrollably.

Chul bent forward, holding his stomach.

"Hahahaha! Did you see their faces?!"

In Su laughed even harder.

"Your face! Oh my God! When everyone turned around and looked at you!" 😂😂

Chul pointed at him.

"Hey! Don't laugh at me!"

"How can I not laugh?" In Su said between laughs. "You were sitting there laughing like a crazy person in the middle of an important meeting!"

Chul wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes.

"Okay, okay... But my recovery was amazing!"

In Su immediately stopped laughing.

He stared at Chul.

Then he slowly nodded.

"Yeah..."

A mischievous smile appeared on his face.

"Your recovery was impressive."

Chul proudly adjusted his tie again.

"Of course."

In Su shook his head.

"You completely brainwashed them."

Chul grinned.

"I didn't brainwash anyone."

"You did!"

"I simply motivated my team."

"Motivated?"

In Su burst into laughter again.

"You were just trying to save your reputation!"

Chul's smile froze.

He stared at In Su.

"Hey..."

In Su continued laughing.

"All these years of building your serious, professional image..."

He dramatically pointed at Chul.

"And today..."

He paused for effect.

"Destroyed!"

Chul gasped dramatically.

"How dare you!"

In Su laughed even louder.

Chul couldn't hold himself back anymore.

Soon, both of them were laughing again.

Their laughter echoed through the empty meeting hall.

After finally calming themselves down, Chul and In Su left the meeting hall together and headed toward Chul's cabin.

The moment they entered, Chul walked straight to his chair and dropped into it.

In Su took the chair opposite him.

For a few seconds, they just stared at each other.

Then In Su leaned forward.

"Hey, bro..."

Chul raised an eyebrow.

"What?"

"Tell me the truth."

Chul looked confused.

"The truth about what?"

In Su pointed at him.

"Why were you laughing like a mental person during the meeting?"

Chul immediately started laughing again.

"Hahahahaha!"

In Su slapped his hand on the table.

"Hey! Don't start again!"

Chul tried to control himself.

"Okay, okay..."

In Su narrowed his eyes.

"What's the secret?"

Chul looked at him.

Then a mischievous smile slowly appeared on his face.

"You remember that girl we saw in the parking lot?"

In Su blinked.

"The girl?"

"Yeah. That girl."

"What about her?"

Chul leaned back in his chair.

"I saw her again."

In Su immediately leaned forward.

"Where?"

"Near the elevator."

In Su's eyes widened.

"Again?"

Chul nodded.

"Yeah."

And then...

Chul started telling him the whole story.

He explained everything that had happened near the elevator, every little detail, including the girl's attitude and the way she had talked to him.

By the time Chul finished...

In Su was already laughing uncontrollably.

"Hahahahahahaha!"

Chul looked at him.

"Hey!"

In Su couldn't stop.

"Oh God!" 😂😂

He held his stomach.

"Please... stop! I can't!"

Chul stared at him.

"What?"

"My stomach is hurting!"

In Su leaned back in his chair, tears forming in the corners of his eyes from laughing so hard.

Chul started laughing again.

"Hahahahaha!"

In Su pointed at him.

"This is all because of you!"

Chul shook his head.

"Hey, but you should have seen her!"

In Su tried to calm himself down.

"Okay, okay... Tell me again."

Chul immediately became animated.

"She's bite-sized!"

In Su burst out laughing again.

"BITESIZED?!"

"Yes!" Chul said seriously. "She's so small!"

In Su covered his mouth.

Chul continued, completely fascinated.

"She's small, but her mouth..."

He widened his eyes dramatically.

"Bababaaa!"

In Su lost it again.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Chul couldn't stop smiling.

"Her face is like a baby's..."

He paused.

"But the moment she opens her mouth..."

Chul slammed his hand on the table.

"She becomes a full-on rowdy!"

In Su was nearly falling out of his chair.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh my God!"

Chul leaned back, laughing.

"But..."

In Su slowly stopped laughing.

"But what?"

Chul's expression softened.

"She's cute."

In Su stared at him.

There was a brief silence.

Then his lips slowly curved into a teasing smile.

"Aha..."

Chul immediately looked suspicious.

"What?"

In Su leaned back.

"So..."

Chul narrowed his eyes.

"So what?"

In Su smiled.

"Nothing."

"Then why are you smiling like that?"

"I didn't say anything."

"Your face is saying something!"

Before In Su could reply—

Knock. Knock.

Both of them turned toward the door.

"Excuse me, sir."

Chul straightened in his chair.

"Yes, Mi Hi?"

The door opened slightly.

Mi Hi stood outside.

"A girl has come for the PA interview. Shall I call her in?"

Chul glanced at the clock.

"After ten minutes."

Mi Hi nodded.

"Okay, sir."

She was about to leave when her eyes suddenly moved toward In Su.

She stared at him.

In Su was still sitting there, trying very hard not to laugh.

Mi Hi looked at him.

Then at Chul.

Then back at In Su.

Chul noticed.

He raised an eyebrow.

"Mi Hi..."

Mi Hi immediately looked at him.

"Yes, sir?"

"Do you have something to say?"

Mi Hi hesitated.

"Yes, sir..."

She glanced at In Su again.

"Some clients have come to see Mr. In Su, but..."

Chul immediately understood.

He looked at In Su.

In Su was still struggling to control his laughter.

Chul secretly smiled.

Hahahahaha...

I know exactly why Mi Hi keeps looking at In Su like that.

He hasn't stopped laughing since I told him the story!

Chul cleared his throat.

"Tell them to wait for some time."

Mi Hi nodded.

"Okay, sir. Thank you."

She turned around and left.

The door closed.

Silence.

Chul slowly turned his attention back to In Su.

In Su was still sitting there.

Trying.

Desperately trying.

Not to laugh.

Chul stared at him.

In Su stared back.

And then...

A tiny smile appeared on In Su's face.

Chul immediately pointed at him.

"Don't!"

In Su covered his mouth.

"Bro..."

"Don't you dare!"

"I was just—"

"Don't!"

In Su's shoulders started shaking.

Chul sighed.

"This guy..."

And within seconds—

"Hahahahahahahaha!"

In Su burst out laughing again.

Chul stared at him in disbelief.

Then...

He started laughing too.

Because apparently, the mysterious little girl had already become the most entertaining topic in their office.
