Chapter 10: Alice in wonderland
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eNF4PJTPS
It was after we had a simple dinner that I had to listen to the manager and apologize all the way back to the company.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlQe3EPBR3
"....Don't worry. Hahaha….I'll buy alcohol and brainwash Mr. Lee into thinking it's all a joke, so it's okay...So is Mr. Lee…."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R4dAIZMCu
I was about to say I was starting to feel tired, when suddenly I heard a faint vibration somewhere.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNhRvneuEO
"Mr. Lee has a very poor drink, so if I say it over and over again that it's a joke...."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzu7TmPXb4
"You have a phone."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OhH9Voi33
He pointed to the cell phone next to him.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oLbcSz3Vm
He stopped talking and looked at his phone, then happily pulled over to the side of the road, quickly putting on his headset to connect. When I was wondering who called him and was so happy, I saw the name Chief Park’' on the phone screen.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGocpjh0X6
Ah, that Chief Park who was sobbing. When I recalled the person who interviewed me, the voice of the manager sitting next to me suddenly became strange.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TKn4bewR8
"….Yes? Chief Park….What do you mean?....Why am I being disciplined?....Yes…..Yes, that is true. But, that's not what I mean…..But it's not that I have any objections, it's that all scheduled classes are suddenly canceled, so I just wanted to ask...."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwycQ6mZFi
While he unconsciously raised his voice, he looked at me and lowered his voice.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJLqUgn1Ov
"Wasn't it the company's fault that the originally registered classes were canceled ?.....I got it. I understand. But did Chief Park check why it was canceled? No, I'm not making excuses, I'm just explaining why I was disciplined for being against the officer in charge. And if I don't have that much of an opinion, how can I be a manager...Yes, yes.... I got it."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LnIT6OfCf
Tut…Tut....
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqciLRSXgCf
"...Haa…"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYc4NLhgrV
Manager hung up the phone with a serious face, looked at the phone screen for a long time. Then remained the same and opened his mouth.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfcAYWJWkZ
"Taemin ah, why don't you ask me what happened....Go..on..."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tzT0DvaFh
"What happened?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZePFUPgk0
He raised his eyes but his expression remained unchanged, the eyes of a normally gentle human were now darkened. It was clear that he was angry.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwt9TbYIZ8
"Do you remember I called the person in charge of your canceled classes this morning? That's the problem. I was reported threatening an employee so now I have to pay a fine from my supervisor.....here. So I won't get the basic operation fee for a month."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFV34vfNWJ
There was a faint smile on his face, but his eyes remained dark. Instead of being silent, I slowly spoke up.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyuYYyJaGn
"Then I guess it can't be helped. Seems like there's no choice but to give up on the lessons."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLErawdvne
"!!"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAZEmA2lW4
"I'll be fine, for learning I can just go to prep schools....."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61fr5Ggfah
"It can't be fine!! Because it's so absurd....Obviously your scheduled classes are all canceled by Myeongshin. "
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbi0JvhwWx
As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his mouth and lowered his eyes down as if thinking about something before lifting them up.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ438lOnpg2x
"That's right, it was Myeongshin who was wrong first.....Why should I be disciplined? That fuckin bastard!!...."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq1CIuL28y
Hearing Manager curse words at Myeongshin for the first time made me smile inside.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbAyJtJko8
"So, what are you going to do now?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI1CcInt2E
"Damn, I have to go to work. Even if I can't expose everything, I still have to erase my mistake....I should have gone to the company in the first place.....I'm sure it's because I'm scared of stupid words..."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdPmgRPfDe
He scolded himself and roughly started the car and drove away. Once the car had rolled away, I leaned back against the car seat and opened the door....
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL1czWpqLD
"Talk to Chief Park...Try making a phone call to clear things up when you get to the office."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9Fj7teWLl
"What call?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eVHTprLgs
He asked again. I turned to look at him.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wfaL0NwGC
"First let's go see Chief Park."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9qSe27zBB
Chief Park 's office is on the top floor of the building. The executive offices are all gathered in one place, so we have to go through multiple closed doors with different levels of verification from the entrance to the lobby. We were able to get in through the manager yelling at Chief Park. I stepped on the carpet without a sound and entered the office not far from the entrance.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rgRX2Pkk7
Chief Park was sitting on the opposite side with a serious expression because he knew we were here to protest, so he put on a face that had all the tough features of a man, but it didn't seem to be very effective, because I already knew he was a crybaby.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6eKYGiaA1
" Manager Choi is very loud, so I asked the two of you to come up here to talk, but saying it in advance won't work."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzsG9d2Saa
He forcefully told the manager to let him lead the matter first.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0rBn0MDgp
"I contacted the staff you called in the morning and they said it's true that you intend to oppose them.....Of course Manager Choi seems to be the victim but..."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgdbJHM3KX
"So you know. I was harmed by someone."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGor7dWLaBS
The manager interrupted and approached, causing Chief Park to close his mouth with a confused look on his face. After that, the manager neared out his name.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWEhXP0zFd
"Yoohan. Is it Song Yoohan?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP6b6xq1m0
"Cough….Let's see. I don't know. If you're just saying that without proof...."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iX8KSJFpG
"Haha….I can give you proof....Watch it here."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6poNGH79I
When he finished talking, he used his phone to send a message. Not long after connecting the phone to the speakerphone he had taken from the car, the phone rang. Manager smiled and gave the phone to Chief Park department.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fuistjtgN
"Listen carefully. Hello? Myeongshin right?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y2ZVNOkSJ
[What do you mean by that?]
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV0Zi944kl
"Thank you for everything, thanks to me?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T8YeXBJvb
I could hear Myeongshin's exasperated voice through the speakerphone. Now, the manager only smiled at him, no longer had to bow like before.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7NR0kvsfj
"Ah, of course thanks for worrying about my newcomer....It's all thanks to the eldest brother...Thank you for taking away all the studio photographers we signed with the company. Only then can Mr. Lee of studio XX take a photo for him."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHJaQLEgz2
When Myeongshin asked again.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayJBIgYaOW
[Mr. Lee?...Don't make me laugh over doing it with that bluff….]
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhwwadP2xj
"It is indeed Mr. Lee...Haha, by the way, I also filed a complaint with the company because the registered classes weren't for newbies who didn't know anything. That's why Chief Park gave us a dedicated instructor there! Hahaha, if it's not thanks to you, then what is it? Thank you very much indeed. This time the person who was brought in was a university lecturer…”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBRCxdM6Y3
Tut. Tut. Tut..
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HJrU9L1iG
It seems that the other party has hung up so the only sound left is the sound of the phone coming from the speaker, raising his head to look at Chief Park.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaR4BMJykx
"If I now recommend to Chief Park about dedicated instructors, then am I right?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXA21J1Bnv
When asked by Manager, Chief Park put his hand on his forehead because he had a headache.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq7xJGh6n4
"I know it is true, but what if you lie like that if he finds out? The fact that it was photographed by Mr. Lee is just a matter of checking...."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtMwPl3o7s
"It's real."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47liuL1Eag
"Hah?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEZofgi1s6
"I just brought Taemin to take pictures there."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8TYzWdft8
The manager said in a smug tone. It was a bit different from the image of the old manager running around holding a can of water in his hand that I met the other day.....now he's standing up straight and looking at the other person with confidence.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k0Gd6cLR2
Chief Park must have been surprised, then blinked and cleared his throat.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZwWsBGU8M
"Cough….So, what if you don't get a call?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgfYZpuU3F
"He will call."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqookAINxF
"......"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNRJqPrDW2
"......"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoRILlVJvv
"So if the phone calls , please let Taemin attend the classes as per your contract. Chief Park.....I don't care if there is an operation fee."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHotVcqPriN
Chief Park silently watched the manager speak in a serious tone and nodded.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWncsVPbIS
"Yes. I will."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49pvdfL5Jw
"Thank you.... Chief Park. Oh yes, by the way Taemin said he has something to ask."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmegnzjSHm
He remembered my request before coming here. Chief Park suddenly became a bit wary as if recalling the scene where I was holding a knife and ‘'threatening'’ him.....
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEIOfFvv0Y
"Hmm….What do you want to know?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsGPrpnpvC
"Please tell me who it is."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LiUbEUNjS
"Who….what?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomXG6M0f8g
"The one who ordered me to discipline my manager."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdW7BYlE9k
There were many reasons why I asked that Psychopath to discipline my manager, but the biggest reason was still that I wanted to know his identity. I could have easily asked him, but I wanted to double check before he told me. I wonder if he can really do anything I ask. And now the opportunity has come. But Chief Park's reaction was a bit strange.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzQ9JgqPPL
"Huh?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj9wiC0UIe
He seemed very surprised, so he just stared at me. I asked again.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvj9T5ak14
"To be honest, it's very strange. Why force discipline just because a phone call doesn't even count as a recommendation…..It's like someone is behind the scenes manipulating everything."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSctAPqDyVp
Of course it was him....
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWikufHg6i
"Ah...That's...It's..."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn24605INE
He opened his mouth in shock but only stammered out a sound like an idiot with his eyes wide open. But why should he be so surprised? Although I knew he probably wouldn't answer easily, I didn't expect him to be so surprised.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPXCbRqwiQ
"Is it because the person who pressures you is an artist?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jvsnKqGVC
The manager who was always watching beside me suddenly got angry and shouted at my question.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ4rllrjCu
"Artist? Could it be Song Yoohan? That guy??!!"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NjHw65jPr
"Ah no. Not Song Yoohan...and...not an artist either."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vJJgtxVfb
This time it was my turn to be surprised when he waved his hand in denial…..Hmm? Not an artist? So he's in another position to give him orders? I furrowed my brows and asked Chief Park to confirm once more.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH3oGJVL7I
"Really not an artist?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb22JiFq4g
He nodded in response.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mcdEk1wNR
"Then why are you so surprised?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKEJlVBlGz
I couldn't help but ask Chief Park, then he swallowed and said.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsYUjtb509
"I was really surprised. I didn't expect you would actually ask that question."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1U86oHozD
Really ask?....What?.....
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZFI8anYLv
"I actually received an order."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcrPTWUg8u
"Order?....What order?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGtkmb3eV6
"When someone asks me about a disciplinarian, this is the answer."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbcnMgLQZD
He looked at me awkwardly and opened his mouth with difficulty.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5ht6vauKI
"Stop worrying about other people's business Baekwon, you idiot.....That is it."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiQNk7yI7C
I turned my back, trying to swallow the curse words in my heart that were about to burst out.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLVm2wVQDE
Okay, I admit. He really is much more of a pain in the ass than me.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKhCgNb7N0
Manager and Chief Park both wondered what the “Baekwon”was all about, so it took me a long time to change the subject and leave the company. I refused the manager's good will and walked to the bus stop alone. I got on the bus in the opposite direction from the way I usually go home. Their reason was because, just as I left the company, at that moment, I received a message as if it was just waiting for me to leave.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaTUkcnDRb
[Come here now.]
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJYjoDdCj7
The sender was [Madman].

The lights in the entertainment district were brighter than during the day, making me a little dizzy. In other places, it is time to relax after a long day….but it's only this place that is still bustling as usual. Busy people flowed on the street, long lines of sidewalk shops, cars moving slowly trying to cross the narrow road. Chatting, laughing, the sound of excitement mixed with the popular music crept through the buildings.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS2SUwKCpV
Everyone seemed to be mesmerized and absorbed in that bustling atmosphere. Things that don't concern me. Music, noise, neon lights all left no impression on me. I still have not forgotten the fun of laughing and drinking with everyone back then. Maybe it's because I haven't touched it in years, that part of my past enjoyment seems to have been cut by a knife. From that moment five years ago. So, I feel like it will never change no matter how much time has passed. Like I can't go back. I stopped and looked at the sign hanging at the entrance leading down. Checking the string of English names that looked like phone fonts, I entered.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MUMIYRBU8
Then, a muscular man in a black suit next to the entrance stood up to stop me.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRIDETuBM8
"You can't go this way."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUr1q9VIgG
I looked down the stairs,and checked the name again, and continued on. I ignored him and moved, but this person who looked like a security guard continued to put his hand out in front of me.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWFdIcGDxC
"This is a membership club, if you are not a member you cannot enter."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngZORftdQo
"What if I am a member?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFuSoNNngk
The guard hesitated, then stepped back a little, watching me from below. Then he asked, looking suspiciously like he thought I didn't fit his standards.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6zNWP0XeN
"Are you a member?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm8iL9MPov
"No."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT7bxASTqL
Looking at his contorted face, I pointed down.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc705VHQMHp
“But, the person waiting down there is a member."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AceW53aao
The security guard immediately apologized and asked something into the receiver connected to the headset. I'm annoyed that he told me to go to such a troublesome place. So, I stood slightly tilted, the security guard was checking when suddenly asked me.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfkahIkPgF
"What is the name of your companion?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwddomcVMoX
"That...."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnTEWf55nS
"Could you tell me the name of your companion?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJlZ5ANsU8
"!"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZabHWPKaNU
"You have to give me the name so I can check..."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl57Xzs79Lq
"Let's see if anyone looks like a madman in there."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNIJacoNJp
"Huh?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2iqzA0oKd
He raised his voice and grimaced.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM4m2o87Kw
If he did, he might forcefully drive me away, so I took a big step back. That's it, anyway, he just told me to come this far, I've already done it, so it doesn't matter if I leave now. If he does come, I can just make excuses, so I turn around. As I was about to leave quickly, I seemed to hear someone running up the stairs and calling my name back.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7004xQF0VM
"Is it Mr. Lee Taemin?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB8Jqdg7VR
That's not my real name, so I thought it would be fine to just deny it and leave...However, I couldn't help but turn around at the next confirmation.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pePwXnu5l
"Ah yes, Lee Taemin is just a stage name, and the real name is Lee Baekwon. If it's you, then please...."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxMOAFfz8y
When I looked over, I saw the security guard standing....I blushed in surprise at that so-called ‘’'real name of mine”.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvLqQ6shhE
Because of my ‘'real name”' Lee Baekwon, I have to trust this so-called club manager down below. Other than the speculation that this shop with a long English name would just look like a regular bar, the atmosphere here is like that of a high-class, classy and quiet restaurant.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOb7WrpJSR
Classical tunes rang out, chandeliers hung from the ceiling and paintings hung everywhere in the small hall. Around the hall, narrow passages curved in various directions extending to three places, giving the place the feeling of the center of a maze.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuoydAocih
"This way."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCzjOpR8c3
Just as I stopped and looked around, he called out softly and led me into the leftmost aisle.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJxvJpqkM1
"It's easy for first timers to get lost, so please follow closely behind me."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqtfKrhRyv
Perhaps he was right, the strange passage met more corridors and branched again. It seems that I really would have lost my way if I had missed the manager. The only distinguishing feature was the doors on either side of the corridors, all of them of different designs. The manager stopped in front of one of them, opened the door, and reached in.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ516FbwlGUa
"Can you wait here for a moment?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNe61a67QL
Entering the small room with furniture that looked like a normal apartment, I asked him to close the door.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQbCEZEV9Z
"How long?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3uDU3sQ9g
He was about to close the door when he stopped and replied with a smile.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOXXnGJt4w
"It won't take more than 30 minutes."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lIOQfEol3
Click.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1PWjl6js8
After the door closed, I looked around the quiet room, sat down at the end of the long sofa and checked the time.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxTAFW2oLy
...9 hours and 29 minutes...
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRuoI1gV6W
"Come quickly...."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwZhzjotnc
I was mumbling when suddenly the door opened and someone walked in.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8QzWBuuPQ
"Hello sir."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVhIw2Jh1Z
A beautiful girl approached and greeted me.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXzE5glOco
The lightly makeuped face looked like it came out of a painting and the skin was clean and spotless. Exalted by a deep red dress that revealed a high neckline under her bouncy hair, it looked even more white and glowing. This girl looks even more beautiful than most artists in the world, to the point that it can make people on the street turn their heads to look at each other, holding a tray of glasses and a bottle of Western wine in her hand.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPiEk4F8Z1
However, it was immediately apparent that she was clearly not a waitress carrying a glass of water at all. Serving a glass of water or anything. With that side slit red dress and gorgeous jewelry, she looked more like a receptionist. The problem is why the receptionist entered this room. It's not like I haven't been to a place like this in the past so I know well, unless I'm a loyal customer, alcohol and women will never automatically be offered. Confused, I watched her gently sit down beside me. Before my gaze, the girl came to sit closer to me and smiled.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vWbPIHfbj
"In the meantime, let's chat for a while."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRESF4W166
"No need."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoWXJvczSB
"Ah, don't you like to be disturbed? Well then...."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx6aHzGhZi
"I don't need to."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA3oPOofXo
Staring at the girl. I coldly spat out.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFG03DrU84
There was a hint of embarrassment on the beautiful woman's face, but I had no choice. Based on my experience, their job is to receive guests, so even if the man sitting in the room refuses, they can't just leave. I'm not used to this, so I thought I only had to refuse once.
But...,no matter how unlucky I am, I have to say it clearly.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqAG6bBbbB
"Get out of here."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWRmdQd1o0
I pointed at the drink and asked in a low voice.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdWXTPmO59
The girl stopped breathing for a moment,and looked at me and realized it was true, and reluctantly put on a smile.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu6Xay6aiK
"Aren't you satisfied with me? Or should I go for another drink?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL4A72LP2n
She was immediately able to return to her original bright voice, showing how well-trained the girl was. From the looks to training. Since it's mentioned as a membership, the quality here can be counted on to be quite high. Maybe that bottle alone is equivalent to half a year of my salary.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbix5qPxHzw
"Tell me if you like any kind of wine....He told me to say to you that you don't have to worry about money, and just need to wait comfortably."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4GEi8pb9V
The voice is as sweet as the song of a bird...I would be grateful if I could drink expensive wine for free, but….
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ckho5CUfQ
"I don't drink...So take it away."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqxC8mHSW9
For the second time, the girl finally got up from her seat. However, the girl left the wine behind and walked out the door smiling.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJbCDqO6o6
"Looks like you're not happy with me . I'll call someone else over."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EwOtKjuPp
The girl left before I could say no, and after a long time someone actually approached. This time a handsome guy. Sure enough, also with a face with a more beautiful appearance than most artists in the world, he smiled at me and entered the room.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY8dlKEZEd
"Woah….You are so lovely...."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJhQaPZbQQ
"Get out...."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt1bstCGKI
I said, somehow I had an uneasy feeling that these words would have to keep coming out of my mouth.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy40EsgCQeF
9 hours and 59 minutes...
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR85bmOZ1y
When the clock struck the right time, I got up from my seat immediately. From now on, men and women have had enough, taking turns entering. After all, taking turns entering, causing me to constantly chase them out , and in the end 30 minutes had passed. I really wanted to leave this room because I've had enough, but the door opened before I could even touch it.

"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long. I have come to pick you up."

As soon as the face of the club manager who led me here first met my eyes, I really wanted to swear. It only takes one step faster to leave.
I tried to suppress the regret in my heart and was dragged along with him through the labyrinth of corridors.

Turn right, turn left, then turn right again.

I had passed these passages enough for the back to gradually disappear from view, but I was not bored at all. Watching the doors change is also quite magical for me. I think I've seen this scene in some fairy tale. Labyrinth of corridors with different doors.

She becomes huge and can also shrink, and a rabbit appears…

"Do you want to go inside?"

When I looked up, I saw that he had opened an iron door at the end of the corridor and pointed inside. Ah...I remembered that the girl entered the wrong door,and got into trouble, and so she fell into a wonderland.

For some reason, I have the feeling that if I step inside, I will also fall into another magical land. But that feeling was gone in an instant.

"Mr. Lee Baekwon?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS35gMaQBJc
I lazily reacted to the name making it impossible not to wake up from reality. The manager who was over 40 walked in first and kindly explained.

"We're almost there. Mr. Lee Baekwon."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzFszxWXIo
"…."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUQxqfoVcH
"Is there anything uncomfortable about Mr. Lee Baekwon?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSn6NDSVt0
"No."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUZ7zeQzdS
I replied briefly to confirm with him.

Obviously he didn't mean anything by calling me that. Even so, the innocent person still felt awkward at my gaze and stepped inside. It was a storage room with stuff piled up on either side, but he slid right through them and opened another door on the opposite side and went in. Then, another corridor appeared.

These corridors are a little different. No decorations, no music, like a corridor for employees who are busy moving. The man crossed the narrow aisle, came to a nearby door, knocked and turned to look at me.

"He is waiting inside."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkelUq3rQJh
Then he gently opened the door and stepped aside....I looked around once more before entering. Having a room deep inside this wonderland meant he couldn't at least be a guest...Or is he the owner of this place?
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGWxDjLM3c
"Who is the person inside?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQExN3c2vP
I tried to ask, he was a bit confused but immediately replied with a smile.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNiSObBxeJ
"Of course, it is the one who is waiting for you, Mr. Lee Baekwon."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSOdVkAryP
I suddenly felt extremely regretful, when I only had 200 won in my pocket the day I first met him.
