The slide changed first
Someone changed the material without asking. Even as Seoh-a read the revised sentences, she couldn't say a word.
After a colleague changed Seoh-a's presentation materials without asking, she keeps presenting with the altered sentences right in front of her.
Junseok changes the title and figures in Seoh-a's presentation without permission. She notices the changes during rehearsal and the actual meeting, but folds the original instead of speaking up. When the two pages are finally placed side by side in the counseling room, one thing Seoh-a has been holding back comes out.
When my material is changed first
Rather than judging what the other person did right away, holding on to what changed and when can make it a little clearer where you can speak.
What has someone changed recently without asking?
The moment a meeting continues with material someone changed without asking, spread open again, lingers for a long time. I saw how, in that place, you folded away your own words to protect the other person's dignity before anything else. If you've been through something similar, tell me whose presence made your voice grow small.
Scenes
- 01 · The red pen went first The title was different first — Junseok changed the title with a red pen without asking Seoh-a. Later, Seoh-a described it as, “He changed it without permission.” Junseok: Let's leave out this title. Seoh-a: Ah… okay.
- 02 · The sentence she was reading broke off He said we'd go with it like this — When Seoh-a tried to say the original title during rehearsal, Junseok pressed a finger onto the changed part. The sentence she was reading broke off midway. Junseok: Let's just go with it like this. Seoh-a: Okay.
- 03 · The missing figure was called out She found the missing figure — Team leader Eunjeong finds the figure that was in the original. Junseok says he left it out because the numbers were complicated, and Seoh-a folds the original more tightly beneath the table. Eunjeong: Why was this figure left out? Junseok: I left it out because the numbers were complicated.
- 04 · In front of two pages At last, one thing was said — In the counseling room, Seoh-a places the two pages side by side. The title crossed out in red and the missing figure seem to overlap in one image. Seoh-a: Me… I didn't say anything. Baekho: Here, let's start by pointing out just one changed part. When you realized that sentence was missing, whose face did you see first?
