Chapter 5: Keep the change
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiThX4OBKx
The rooftop of the building was decorated like a garden. There were rows of trees taller than humans, and benches in between. This place, which was used as a resting place, was not crowded because it was early in the morning after 1.30 am. It was time to go to bed and sleep but my mind was very clear. I leaned against a chest-high wall and looked down at the scattered world that was like the red light of a cigarette butt. I've decided to take revenge, but there was still something holding me back. It was a pretty funny worry.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUgITRprdJ
What if I get so caught up in revenge and forget my faults? Until now, paying back the money has been a reminder to me like an alarm: you're paying for your sins now. What used to be a clear indicator has disappeared now, and now that I was concerned about someone else's sins, I feel useless anxiety. I made a mistake and I still have a lot more to atone for. I mustn't forget that.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXevqFslX3C
Then I suddenly thought, was I always this kind of person? I held back the bitter smile that was about to come out. I thought that my previous self came out, determined to take revenge, but the past five years must have had a great influence on me. Then I realized. The indicators that I need to punish myself are already in my head. A clear memory of that day five years ago was enough. Even as time goes by, I remember the feeling of entering an empty house as clear as yesterday. The room where the owner was stuffed with traces of life.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc4gr6Bvsz
Suddenly, I wanted to smoke. I haven't smoked in five years, but I guess my desire for cigarettes has revived along with myself from five years ago. Or maybe it was because of the faint smell of cigarettes. I must not have been the only one on the rooftop, as the smell was mixed with the wind as it blew. I took a step and went inside. Someone was biting a cigarette in front of a tall tree in the middle. I couldn't see his face well because it was dark, but I couldn't stand the desire for a smoke that had suddenly revived, and approached him.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdABk12B24v
"Can I have a cigarette?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWakU1i7bzF
When I spoke, he glanced away as if nothing had happened. I wanted to give up at this point because I thought he was a jerk with that attitude of ignoring me, but the smell flowed strongly into me again in the wind.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBZ9vYKUJs
"I'm not asking for it for free. I just need one."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5GcdFyxNN
Plop.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNBb03f045
A burning cigarette fell near my feet. The other party's intentions were too obvious; smoke it and shut up. I looked down at it, which was still burning red, as I heard footsteps turning around. I bent down and picked up the cigarette that fell on the floor and bit in my mouth. The end was unpleasantly wet because it had been in someone else's mouth, but I didn't care. As I inhaled, the smoke ran down my throat and spread inside. Perhaps because it's been a while since I last smoked, I felt a little dizzy for a moment. But there was no problem doing what was needed.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjQwiSfvcD
"Wait a minute."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TvAoqkb3g
Fortunately, when I called the person who had already started walking away, he turned around. I could see his expressionless face stopped under the lamp. Looking at him, I took a coin out of my pocket and threw it.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV7HpRv93d
Clink, clink. Drrr.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2pxHqY9Vn
As I looked at the 200 won coin that rolled a little and then stopped, I added.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt4uulrLTG
"Keep the change."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD0aSClAE6
And I tried to turn around, I paused as I saw his lips slowly curve upwards as he looked at the coin. There was even a small dimple next to the lips. People whose eyes naturally curve when they smile make a good impression. At that moment, I felt like I had seen it somewhere, but a light laugh interrupted my thoughts.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJghXfSkOrb
"You miscalculated, idiot."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcicGFpoxO
The person in front of me could have made a good impression, given that smiling face and soft voice. However, the meaning of the words from him was the opposite. This tremendous difference made me alert. That smiling face and the familiar way of speaking. At that moment, tension rushed down the spine. There was only one thing that came to mind. He's a madman.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgICHWNqWWJ
"Are your ears blocked?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9EJDFjado
I stared at him while listening to the urge of his gentle voice. Then I saw the non-smiling eyes on his face. Was it because I fought a bit in the past and did bad things? That experience naturally allowed me to know who was stronger than me. Even if I get down on my knees, or deal with him, I would be the only one who suffers. The problem was me. Because I'm sure I won't get down on my knees.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6phMTFRh84
"That's right. I miscalculated. That's why I told you to keep the change."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy66e9KmF8L
The corners of his eyes curved even more. But I couldn't smile.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOVl96H4Un
"Change? Ah, this."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2GwowQnL3
He stretched out his hand, showed me the 200 won, and added kindly.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMSYOoqUAF
"Sure. If you give me 200 million won, this would be the change."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBdk8jluT9
200 million won for a half-smoked cigarette? Is that jerk trying to strike a fortune with a cigarette that was thrown away.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KcbDHyrJ5
"Don't talk nonsense."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNmBjP4kX5
He replied coldly in a lazy tone.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGJTnkQ9e8
"Should I tell you my one secret? I don't make jokes."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsikWVxcf4p
The words came out lightly like a joke, but there was a cold look in his non-smiling eyes.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyZB62O0dy
"The price is determined by the seller. If you had asked me for cigarettes in the first place, you should have thought about the price."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EM60qbBSy
I frowned and stared at him.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOwZM9xnNo
"Who are you?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy141njlYl
As if the question was unexpected, the smile vanished for a moment but the lips soon returned to their original curves.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuMyOrRXNN
"I'm sick of this. You've probably heard something from somewhere and taken a similar approach to what I'm looking for, but I've already come across people like you several times."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03IzXPUt2y
I couldn't lift my frown as I tried to understand the bored voice. A similar approach? People like me? As I opened my mouth to tell him to stop talking nonsense, I suddenly remembered the first time I came here. There were high school girls waiting for someone outside the building with eyes full of anticipation. Ah, right. This was an entertainment agency. Did he mistake me for those kinds of fans? I stared him in the face again. The more I looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. However, it was clear that I didn't know this person.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jZY8T55Ba
"You must be mistaken, I don't know how famous of an actor you are, but even 200 won is too much for me."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt82kVJfxd
"....Actor?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xZK9ClLqD
"Or are you a singer?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOBMbePPYy
"......."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXs7lSQhtb
He smiled and stared at me with a somewhat languid gaze. What, was he a comedian? I was surprised, but I heard a dry question.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoJklgd5Bh
"Don't you belong to this agency?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp64jGNzmW
"No….Not yet."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b5QBdgC9A
To my answer, he murmured, "'Not yet' huh," and took a step closer to me. As he approached, my hands tensed up subconsciously. But then as he stopped, he suddenly smiled.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQacHAizAB
"Let me correct myself. You are quite interesting, so I'll give you a discount. However, only if your value increases. Go through the interview first. Then I will give you a 1% discount."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfxuLygOAo
What interview? Anyway, it was absurd to have to pay more than that.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhhoLAWUae
"That's funny."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuJcGWCv9r
"I'm sad. I even told you the secret that I don't joke."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK737D30ne
I frowned again at the languid voice. Then, I threw the half-burnt cigarette in front of him.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKLwJ0Dhji
"Let's do a refund. Give me my money."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoqvjEQmFg
But instead, he put the coin in his pocket and took another step closer.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjwphh7EJE
"Take it away from me. Then I'll give you a refund."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zNK89cOMl
The bored voice came from that smiling face again.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykZjh1E0A3
"Although I don't think you have the skills to do that."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCecTvm5nX
It was clearly a provocation, and before I knew it, I raised my fist without realizing it. But then in my head I remembered something, what the soda uncle told me.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirIQriRgPw
"If you want to be an actor, your face is your life. If you're going to do it, you should never hurt your face from now on."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0mf3ZDgoG
Tsk. Clicking my tongue, I took a step back. Seeing my actions, the other party looked disappointed.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuKXHWgC3U
"You don't look like a coward….Ah, is it because you're afraid your face will get injured?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz1rQrBkGR
He hit the nail on the head. I was momentarily taken aback by his words, unable to respond. He was quick-witted, he smiled and approached me quickly. No, it was his fist that came first.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUOtZoQKpL
Pa!
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡampwz7Y8Yt
I was hit in the stomach, which had been open because I was blocking my face. In an instant, I choked, and vibrations, along with pain, spread from the inside, starting from the affected area. I stumbled back and clenched my teeth and held out with two legs. Swish…I turned my head to the side, and as his arm passed with a gust of wind, I quickly struck it with my hand and stretched out my other hand.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjHSYBTqTA
Thanks to that crazy man who relentlessly aimed at my face and threw his fists, my lips had already cracked. It seemed to be a little grazed, but blood flowed from my lips with a burning sensation. I was busy blocking my face, but the smell of blood almost opened made me lose my temper. If I were the person I used to be, I would have just come at him without covering my front or back. But I guess I've changed a bit. It seems that he wasn't planning to give up on my face even though I was beaten up horribly. Thanks to him, my body was in a state of exhaustion and now I'm rolling on the floor at his feet.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJTClhR8tV
Thud.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5py5oyUrQ
When my body hit the hard cement floor, a loud sound resounded on the quiet rooftop. It was a good thing that I wrapped my hands around my face so it didn't get injured, but looking at my overall appearance, I got annoyed. Damn it, how can a comedian fight so well? I tried to get up with a dizzy head, but I unfortunately couldn't.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq5BGJnz99
"Ugh."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSj2IHyhwv
I didn't raise my head and let out a short moan. When he approached me, he pressed down my neck with one hand. Then, he talked in a leisurely tone.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIufi9R45P
"You're quite good."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxffNJ0ncx
On the contrary, the compliment hurt my pride. Would the outcome have changed if I seriously attacked him? As I recalled with irritation, I felt something on my lips. I flinched. Turning my head in surprise, I saw his expressionless face.
He swept my swollen lips with the other hand that was not pressing down my neck. He twisted his face as though he hated it but a smile came to his lips. Then, he pressed hard on my swollen lips that were already bleeding.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VpjLasbl5
"Urgh...!"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJBqN9CSbw
I reflexively let out a pained cry and stared at him. I ran into a really annoying guy.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04RqoDjIJx
"I like those eyes."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMz2zrJ5Sa
Unlike the laziness in the tone, those cold eyes looked down at me.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuQxyAlZas
"Who scouted you?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1VinHJfam
"......."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3cLo3xNUX
"Your name?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh6QRvK5Gz
"......."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XFaIEjRXW
When I didn't answer, a gentle smile that didn't look like a smile appeared on his face. He squeezed my neck even tighter as he smiled.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWN4gvIKvn
"What's your purpose in approaching me?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjnlMCLPuh
I couldn't help but answer this question.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvrclLzjzm
"For cigarettes. Who knows who you are."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuGbBF3mnL
I spat out with a hoarse throat. For a moment, I thought he narrowed his eyes slightly, but before I knew it, a smile came back to his face.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhs1TtVthi
"You really don't know me."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ax544UY84
"I don't watch TV."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVWqxeb8vs
His eyes curved like a crescent moon. Then, his hand came back to my lips. I reflexively flinched as my wound was pressed, but his thumb had already touched my lips. This time, I put up with him as he slowly traced the contours of my lips. A chill ran down my spine.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIPIRiqBud
"Take your hands off me."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ284uMN2y
I muttered in annoyance, but he turned a deaf ear to my words and other words came out of his mouth.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZldZtLIPsg
"You are not the type to be a celebrity. Because there is no aspiring celebrity who doesn't even watch TV."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8WP1gepZa
"......."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIKgQmsqm2
"But you desperately covered your face to become a celebrity."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7Poi4KN5K
The finger that was moving over my lips stopped. His expression disappeared, and he looked down at me with emotionless eyes.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5UIZf5u2u
"You must have another reason?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMm9kLaNsy
It wasn't because he was pressing down my neck that I couldn't breathe. It was because of the creepy feeling as if the eyes looking down at me were penetrating through me. Still, I didn't avoid the gaze. I couldn't stand the sarcastic remarks.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBVqBOo23T
"It's not because of you, so it doesn't matter."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCDVoauqxY
The corners of his mouth went up slowly and a small dimple appeared next to it. There was something familiar with that appearance. I think I've seen it somewhere….
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteIhg6bYyI
Drrring.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO831iDW2z
Suddenly, a sound out of the ordinary woke up the atmosphere that had subsided. Before I could realize that it was the sound of my phone, someone's hand quickly snatched it first. Taking it out of my pocket, he turned the phone on at a height beyond my reach. I always set the volume to the maximum because I usually have to handle delivery calls when I'm outside. However, the sound now, which always felt small when I was running around with things in hand, resounded like a speaker on the rooftop in the middle of the night.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wy4CbdG0c
[Where are you? CEO Choi….I mean, the manager is back. I think he's decided to work with you. Actually, he doesn't like your purpose of getting revenge but…]
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KYuIYpANr
Clatter.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaz59hVgpk
While he was distracted by the sound of his cell phone, I pushed him away, and the phone crashed onto the floor. Fortunately, the battery fell out so there were no more sounds. I quickly stood up and picked up my phone, cursing in my heart. I didn't want to deal with him anymore. 200 million or whatever nonsense, that's enough. If he blocked me again, I'm going to come at him regardless of my face. But instead of blocking me, he turned his body and let me pass.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6F9V2yMfK
"Try to pass the interview well. That way, you can get a discount from me."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8mlSY08xS
He bit the cigarette back into his mouth. A red flame rose with the sound of the lid opening of the lighter, shining his face for a moment. Perhaps he noticed my gaze, he opened his mouth that was still holding a cigarette.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK081AGBhYk
"Or I can help you instead of giving you a discount."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07HCYsSutF
"What kind of help?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAGzEfEVLR
"Revenge. You're trying to be a celebrity because of that."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5PC6rZJng
I could have told him that what I heard on my cell phone had nothing to do with me and just turned around, but his next words stopped me.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn4lMSCKru
"I can be your sponsor."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvW6tORWIj
What I was curious about was that, as a man, he naturally said that he could be a sponsor. How did he know my inclination? I stared at him silently and opened my mouth.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ0SyKSqfP
"I don't need you."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzMImM5lFL
"Since you didn't say that you don't want to, that means you're fine with men too."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVQIa3FroF
"......"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7Sm5tSzh9
"And you said you don't need me. That means you need another sponsor. Who is it?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4Vkr04Enr
There was no reason to answer, so I turned around as I heard a slow voice.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWSMn0YWVJ
"If you tell me, I'll cut the price of cigarettes in half."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknI82578hM
But the words that followed stopped me again. To be exact, it was a cold voice without laughter.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGxAuNaMLS
"Or you'll have to work like a dog all your life and pay back the money."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt68QAwaXI
Didn't he say his secret was that he didn't make jokes? It was obvious from his voice that he wasn't joking now. I didn't know I would be threatened with money that I didn't have to pay back. For some reason, this situation felt funny. I turned my head and asked.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObW71edtMu
"Why are you curious about that?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuUa21OymW
"Just because."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkZJJFOIbV
"......"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIFqpf9dhE
"Don't worry. I'll keep the secret."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw15AyqXEfP
Even if it wasn't a dry promise, he seemed to be able to keep it a secret. Although he was a madman trying to strike a fortune with a cigarette, he seemed like someone who would keep his word. But that wasn't why I opened my mouth anyway. It was annoying; if I don't answer, I don't think he'll let me go and keep on bothering me. So I told him the person I wanted to target.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu9xfx4vZk
"It's the Director Yoon of this company."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49G23BQZhY
At that moment, I felt that his gaze had changed strangely, but I only thought of the soda uncle who was waiting downstairs and walked away. I don't want to see him again. As soon as I made my way down to the floor where they were waiting, the soda uncle saw me and shouted.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwooH4m621
"Gasp! What's wrong with your face?!"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ex8uRS9WL
".....Because of a madman."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYdew8VSVl
The uncle mumbled trying to understand my statement, and his eyes grew bigger.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX2YMU0y3o
"Madman? In the company? At this late hour?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh513GhY9Cu
Even the boy opened his eyes wide like an old man and was shocked, and questions poured out. I eventually changed the subject first due to the burdensome gaze of the two.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX6KeRqkIb
"Are you going to sign a contract with me?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1oQqmfw4V
"Huh? Oh, what you need to do with me is not a contract, but a promise for now. The actual contract is with the company, and you have to pass the interview….No, if you really want to do it, listen to me first and decide."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcVIM8ydOV
Then he started to scare me.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wpAW92l6c
"You will never survive in this field if you're not determined. In order to succeed in the fast way like you want, you have to be especially determined to go through all sorts of things. This field is a complete survival of the fittest, so they do dirty things that you can't even imagine, such as even stealing small roles. Even if you are lucky to get a role through hard work, it is common for the role to change just the day before the shoot. If you're weak against failure or setbacks, it's better not to start at all."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGLACpBYmg
"I got it."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy6Meu6nPi
"It's not just that. It's common to be betrayed by someone you trust, and even do dirty things….If you want to find a sponsor, you need to be prepared to suck on the genitals of a 70yrs old man. Are you really going to do it?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNOXgsSo4i
"Manager."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojAmqyPqy9
When I called him, I looked at his eyes full of worries.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAmVCZ1jJF
"I'm not that naive or a nice person."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL7YY9PzJy
"But, still....."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDue960ajPL
"I just need you to help me the way you usually do. I'll do the rest of the dirty and tough work."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeu1rKIChH
Looking at me still for a long time, he asked me quietly.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwmsaGP7Xg
"What on earth did Myeongshin do?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4itVdVIeR
"......."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGnTJAOU7X
I hesitated for a moment. He was a good person, I could feel he was really concerned for me. I know I shouldn't be carried away by my revenge, but I probably won't get another opportunity again. That thought pushed away some of my guilt, and I opened my mouth.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJWmwjy9y1
"Similar to what happened to you, CEO."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6ncLf1fEp
I added as if it was nothing special.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrkbuFfyvs
"Just paying back what I went through."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQ4XruI7eL
Then I got up from my seat and pointed at the clock hanging on the wall.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8caso5AgJ
"I want to go back to sleep, I have to go to work."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry1XlZRVeS
The two of them also quickly got up from their seats.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV1Xyyg9UJ
"Sorry for keeping you up late. I don't usually stay this late, if I knew this would happen, I should have ordered bossam, or these days McDonald's is the best."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqmYqM3Lgr
As my mind and body were getting too exhausted to keep up with this conversation, the manager's phone rang. He picked it up and started with an apology. A gracious silence came and I hurriedly waited for the elevator to come. However, the voice of the manager answering the phone was strange.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTzGpftMTf
"Chief Park, you called me at this late hour! What's the m….Ah, you had to work overtime until this hour. You've worked hard. Ah…Are you crying? Eh? You want to quit your job because of your superiors?....Ah, you're just joking. Hahahaha….It sounded as if you were serious….I'm sorry. By the way, what….Yes, that's right. Ah! Tomorrow? But….Eh? Y-you don't know if Director Yoon is turning up?! Ah, I understand."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6IjcBkaOq
He nodded his head as he answered the phone with a bewildered look.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEwcBPxK8l
"I'll take him there tomorrow."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpsxRlUI60
As soon as the uncle hung up, the elevator arrived with a ''Ding'', but I couldn't get in right away. Because the manager was holding onto my hand tightly.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGAqbrHah9
"W-what to do? You have an interview tomorrow!"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdVVD58znU
