Sleepyhead

Yi Sang had been sitting by his desk for hours now.
Clean-up duties become so nauseating, but for someone such as himself, who has no path to walk anymore...
Yi Sang W Corp. L3 Cleanup
Hum. These new employees are curious, indeed. Their prowess is lacking, however.
...The paperwork that comes with each few trips tends to be much worse. Countless of 'isolated' cases of uncooperative passengers, so many hours wasted due to TimeTrack's technical difficulties. All of it must be worked with.
Yi Sang W Corp. L3 Cleanup
There is much to improve on.
He would much rather be going through the mandatory lessons with new hires than anything. He would also much rather take a long nap. Yi Sang's eyes close for a moment, a sigh escaping his lips.
Kieu W Corp. L2 Cleanup
Oh, Yi Sang!~
In an instant, his eyes snap awake and the janitor shakes his head. He recognizes that voice all too well.
There were new hires, and there were less new hires. This one has been around for a while now. One of Yi Sang's underlings, Kieu, who is often energetic and enthusiastic in his duties.
Kieu W Corp. L2 Cleanup
Are you working at the moment? Ah! I must be disturbing you. Hehe, sorry.
Yi Sang W Corp. L3 Cleanup
...Worry not. I was simply detaching myself from reality for a moment.
'I would prefer to be disturbed anyhow.' He does not say aloud, because this worker was one he liked a lot. Though, he can't pinpoint why.
Kieu W Corp. L2 Cleanup
You're working over time again, right? That's something you've been doing a lot more often.
Kieu W Corp. L2 Cleanup
Won't you consider yourself for once? Look at you! Your eyebags are growing darker-!
Yi Sang sighs again. Looking down towards his paperwork, he rests a hand on his chin. It was true that he's been taking extra piles lately. Mostly because the others don't want to do them, and he's compliant.
Yi Sang W Corp. L3 Cleanup
No other soul is willing to fill the dirty work.
Kieu W Corp. L2 Cleanup
Not true! Okay, look here.
Kieu sits on the table, facing Yi Sang almost too confidently. He waves a hand over his face and smiles.
Kieu W Corp. L2 Cleanup
Let me help you! What kind of junior would I be if I'm not helping those above me? The more papers we fill out, the faster we'll finish.
Yi Sang W Corp. L3 Cleanup
I—
Kieu W Corp. L2 Cleanup
We could switch every now and then so you can rest too! I do half, and then you do half. How about it?
Yi Sang pauses, ruminating on the offer. On one hand, making a junior do this kind of work was a little bit risky. The question of whether he's able to perform these duties at all was up in the air.
On the other hand, he can feel himself slipping already. One fleeting hour of rest may be sufficient.
Before Yi Sang can nod, his underling hops and sits by the very chair he was seated on, very gently pushing him aside to make room.
Yi Sang W Corp. L3 Cleanup
My answer has not given, yet here you are...
Yi Sang W Corp. L3 Cleanup
I suppose this proposal may be the best option.
Kieu W Corp. L2 Cleanup
Just leave this one to me, my beloved senior~
Kieu W Corp. L2 Cleanup
I'll do my best just for you.
This was a risk that he would normally not take so easily. However, the rest was more than necessary. Yi Sang needed to be awake to do clean-ups at all.
Closing his eyes, it no longer registers that his head was already on Kieu's shoulder. All this janitor could think of is how thankful he was.
Kieu W Corp. L2 Cleanup
...Now, let's see what we have here.
Meanwhile, Kieu cheers internally, knowing that the senior he loves so much is using him as a headrest. It's going to make moving much harder.
Not that it makes this any less worth it.
