When the Team Leader is Obsessed, There are Many Late Nights – 1

    When the Team Leader is Obsessed, There are Many Late Nights – 1

    The company started moving at the same time as usual.

    Around 10 a.m., people began to come to work one by one, and their attire was casual, reflecting the company’s free atmosphere.

    Perhaps because of the approaching summer, the steps of those coming to work were light, and their clothes were light as well.

    The company scenery was the same as usual. However, employees gathered in groups of three or five and began to talk about the big issue that had occurred in the morning.

    “Kang In-ho is acting strange.”

    It was the story that Kang In-ho, the only man in the department and the one who took on all the difficult tasks, was acting strange.

    Perhaps he was exhausted from the long hours of overtime, Kang In-ho, who always smiled, was looking at the ceiling with his back fully reclined, looking disheveled.

    “He’s been working a lot of overtime lately,” someone said, drinking coffee freshly brewed from a cafe near the company.

    “Right. Lee Mina made Inho work overtime to submit the proposal.”

    “Ugh, I don’t know why she’s doing that. Frankly, it’s something Inho doesn’t have to do, right?”

    “I wonder if Inho is on Mina’s bad side…”

    “Huh? I thought Mina was interested in Inho.”

    “I thought so at first too. But that’s not interest, it’s bullying. If it were me, I would have already quit.”

    “Look at the dark circles under Inho’s eyes. It’s so sad. Tsk, tsk.”

    Inho could hear people whispering about him here and there, but he remained motionless, like a robot toy with a dead battery.

    He was just counting the patterns on the ceiling with vacant eyes.

    No, to be exact, he was looking at the message floating in the air.

    [Guidance on Dimensional Shift-2]

    [Possess the subject who is dead in the corresponding dimension and is in an irreversible coma.]

    [Number of Dimensional Shifts: 3]

    ‘The original owner of the body was dead. Dying from overwork is such a sad life.’

    Perhaps because he was also a former office worker? He felt sorry for the original owner of the body.

    ‘Dimensional Shift count is 3. The dimension where I was stabbed. The dimension where I received a drug injection. And now here.’

    Organizing his thoughts, Inho got up, and as he moved after being motionless for a full hour, people’s attention was focused on him.

    He took a towel from the drawer and went to the bathroom.

    Men’s bathroom. Inho splashed water and roughly washed his face.

    He put toothpaste on his toothbrush and neatly cleaned his teeth, and for some reason, he shaved his overgrown beard with the razor that was there.

    Inho, who had tidied himself up, looked in the mirror.

    ‘Is possessing a handsome face the last bit of conscience? You pigeon.’

    Looking strangely at the man’s appearance, which was quite decent this time as well, Inho smiled bitterly.

    He seriously wondered if, instead of giving him this consideration, they couldn’t just revive him in his original dimension.

    ‘Today is Friday. I don’t know anything about the company’s work, so let’s take a sick day to buy some time.’

    After the Dimensional Shift, Inho was in despair, but that didn’t mean he gave up.

    Since he had undergone a Dimensional Shift, he had to adapt to this place again.

    Obtaining personal information was easier than in the previous dimension.

    First of all, the phone could be opened with fingerprint recognition, and he could view personal information on the logged-in company Intranet.

    He wiped his face with a towel and returned to his seat.

    Normally, his colleagues would have come to greet him, but perhaps because of his stern face? No one approached him.

    “Um… I’m going to take a sick day today.”

    Inho turned off the 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… But Inho, we have the morning scrum today. You should attend that. Are you feeling very unwell?”

    “When… when does the scrum start? How long does it take?”

    “Huh? Oh… it starts at the usual time. 11 o’clock. It takes about 30 minutes. Inho, you don’t look good today.”

    “Thank you for letting me know.”

    The time is now 10:45.

    The sick leave report must be made to ‘Lee Mina’. According to the organization chart, she is the team leader. She’s probably the team leader of the place I belong to.

    Thinking it was an awkward time to skip it, he decided to attend the morning scrum.

    At 10:55, he saw the surrounding employees getting up, and Inho also got up, following their lead.

    ‘I don’t know what kind of company this is, but it’s a women-dominated company.’

    He thought, looking at the fact that everyone except him was a woman.

    They entered the conference room and sat in chairs, waiting for someone.

    “She’s a bit late today.”

    One employee said.

    “The leader meeting must be taking a long time. Oh, there she comes.”

    An employee near the door said, looking beyond the glass door.

    Soon, the door opened and a slender woman entered.

    She had the appearance of a typical office lady, with an impressive black bobbed hair.

    Inho made eye contact with her. And he realized.

    ‘This dimension… it’s that woman.’
