Cho Rin swatted her hand away, amused. "I'm fine. The company gave us a day off."
"Your boss gave you leave?" Jo Hee's eyes widened. "That's… unheard of. Factories don't give holidays!"
"Boss Kim is always good to us," Cho Rin said matter-of-factly.
Jo Hee grinned, her gossip instincts tingling. "Yoyo, listen to you defending him. So, what's the deal with you two, hmm?"
Cho Rin's cheeks flamed. "You want to die?" She swatted Jo Hee with a pillow.
"You're blushing!" Jo Hee crowed, tackling her. The two wrestled like schoolgirls until they collapsed in a heap, hair messy, laughing breathlessly.
Jo Hee turned, eyes soft. "Cho Rin… You've changed. You're brighter now. Before, you were always buried in three jobs, exhausted. You'd never play around like this."
Cho Rin paused. Maybe Jo Hee was right. Ever since working under Boss Kim, her pay increased, her stress dropped, and—shockingly—she could sleep in. Before, two or three hours of sleep was normal. Today? She'd woken at seven.
