Seoul Object Story

In the deep confines of Sehee Institute, in front of Yerin's confinement room, Seo-A was reflecting on what had happened earlier that day.

‘It was a bit strange since the morning...’

The morning sunlight poured through the Institute’s windows.

Sehee Institute, in Seo-A’s memory, had been enveloped in a strange atmosphere that was different from usual.

The voices of the researchers, which usually echoed through the hallway, were quieter than normal, and the air in the office was filled with an unfamiliar tension.

Everyone’s gaze was directed toward one corner of the office.

At the center of it all was Yerin, who was wearing an expression as if something good had happened.

Of course, Yerin wasn’t drawing attention because of her happy expression.

It wasn’t unusual for her to wear a joyful smile for no reason at all.

However, what was unusual was that Yerin had been working quietly since early in the morning. This was enough to catch everyone’s attention.

"What's going on?"

The researchers whispered in soft voices.

Normally, Yerin would try to avoid work with various excuses, but today, she was unusually diligent, carefully reviewing data in front of her computer.

It was such a rare sight that even Seo-A, who had stepped out of the vice-director’s office, watched with a curious expression.

‘...’

The incident occurred during lunchtime.

The peaceful routine of the Institute was shattered by an unexpected event.

"Aren’t you working too hard?"

At the concerned question from a colleague, Yerin smiled and turned her head.

And that was when everything changed.
