It was nine o’clock pm. Honestly, it wasn’t considerably late until you factor in the fact that Haewon had first stepped into HQ at six o’clock that morning and hadn’t taken a step outside the building since, only taking short breaks for both lunch and dinner just to grab something quick from the cafeteria and bring it back to her desk. Fifteen hours. She’d been non-stop busy for fifteen hours. Haewon must have looked like a zombie--- a quick glance around the linguists’ office told her that her coworkers were in much of the same state. Truly, any one of them could have clocked out at any time in the past few hours, but there was simply too much work to do and far too little time to get it done.
The office was silent aside from the tapping of computer keys, the rustle of papers, a chair rolling briefly across the tile floor--- the three linguists worked in harmony, as they usually did, bothering each other only occasionally to get a second opinion on their work. But Haewon could no longer concentrate on the intel staring at her through her computer screen, and the lights dimming in the hallway outside of their office ( as by HQ’s late night protocol ) was the final straw. Sighing heavily, she saved her work and logged out of the system.
“You guys think the cafeteria’s still open? I need an iced coffee or I’m not gonna make it,” Haewon spoke into the silence of the room, disrupting the peace.
