“I don’t mind to stay alone on a cabin instead if that’s better.” Han-bi shyly mouthed, looked around to the other work mates from her company with her eyes full of fear and noticed how they glanced away or mouthed her a sorry for basically pushing her to the one workmate no one wanted to stay with. She smiled to the latter, with her lips trembling, wondering if she would survive not only driving across the country to where the conference would be by, but also staying in a cabin with them for the whole week of the event, seeing that the company they were about to visit rented a whole resort for those whom visited could stay by.
“You really won’t mind to tag along with me? I don’t want to be a burden.” She questioned with a small cough, basically trying to make it seem like she was more worried of them and their comfort than her fearing for herself. The female could only imagine what could happen on the way together to the resort, hours on end by the car alone with them, within the resort itself where they would be living under the same roof and how she barely had any escape seeing the others were ignoring her situation. It was clear to her that she had the end of the stick on this because others took advantage of how shy and quiet she usually was and only could pray now that the rumors the latter had were mere speculation.
