Chapter 10: Alice in wonderland
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK9v7P73DP
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRRDNRiPtB
"....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…."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOV4pGGmtU
I was about to say I was starting to feel tired, when suddenly I heard a faint vibration somewhere.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsdx2JE9Q0
"Mr. Lee has a very poor drink, so if I say it over and over again that it's a joke...."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04pA2ZG50j
"You have a phone."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHngL4BBQr
He pointed to the cell phone next to him.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKMT1OLHWC
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPYoKvzpOq
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjS0N0AJ3V
"….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...."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXf2GHASsZ
While he unconsciously raised his voice, he looked at me and lowered his voice.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeORqbLdgcY
"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."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbw2MGhRNe
Tut…Tut....
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3hyGCa2JK
"...Haa…"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAWPzAvtOf
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ssTeZHSQ9
"Taemin ah, why don't you ask me what happened....Go..on..."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMYuWpIbKr
"What happened?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT90VN63rzG
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bCKW3o2jo
"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."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULK0o5945B
There was a faint smile on his face, but his eyes remained dark. Instead of being silent, I slowly spoke up.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2r3gm0vfH
"Then I guess it can't be helped. Seems like there's no choice but to give up on the lessons."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hQNpPssqR
"!!"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32hoUM4Put
"I'll be fine, for learning I can just go to prep schools....."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurZHJyLhHA
"It can't be fine!! Because it's so absurd....Obviously your scheduled classes are all canceled by Myeongshin. "
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ955EZphbNK
As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his mouth and lowered his eyes down as if thinking about something before lifting them up.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcJ2Uo6yv3
"That's right, it was Myeongshin who was wrong first.....Why should I be disciplined? That fuckin bastard!!...."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX6dwoBtT2
Hearing Manager curse words at Myeongshin for the first time made me smile inside.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnLMIQOhL9
"So, what are you going to do now?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowVxnXvsj6
"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..."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTO4sY5vMh
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....
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY7SMBRv4E
"Talk to Chief Park...Try making a phone call to clear things up when you get to the office."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWXG3AIMfR
"What call?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXolbxriR4x
He asked again. I turned to look at him.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmECMmSuwG
"First let's go see Chief Park."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmSCMVKIZo
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdnX3Uufko
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCOjx6V1Lf
" 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."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdbh4PdTXh
He forcefully told the manager to let him lead the matter first.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42T9UaNPmK
"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..."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP99bYYbFrq
"So you know. I was harmed by someone."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfniIMVppW
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXLRpUjJl4
"Yoohan. Is it Song Yoohan?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAWRYWneoF
"Cough….Let's see. I don't know. If you're just saying that without proof...."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5r0Asmje6
"Haha….I can give you proof....Watch it here."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwtyqfXFt3
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xADhHbU2Q
"Listen carefully. Hello? Myeongshin right?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ5p2GE9CR
[What do you mean by that?]
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZeWCaBYiH
"Thank you for everything, thanks to me?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe422DLxLdc
I could hear Myeongshin's exasperated voice through the speakerphone. Now, the manager only smiled at him, no longer had to bow like before.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLtytkzfGJ
"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."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNriduUQCsu
When Myeongshin asked again.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I02SDFDpl
[Mr. Lee?...Don't make me laugh over doing it with that bluff….]
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiLI5pAckL
"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…”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NlIjcywC3
Tut. Tut. Tut..
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23nDCamb0x
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwcCWv6Efi
"If I now recommend to Chief Park about dedicated instructors, then am I right?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbt96egtIf
When asked by Manager, Chief Park put his hand on his forehead because he had a headache.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMtyGxk6lQ
"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...."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A81k2QMuf
"It's real."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil3NBm79IG
"Hah?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtXspxRwYC
"I just brought Taemin to take pictures there."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysPQ5snGzL
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q3VIZQy2B
Chief Park must have been surprised, then blinked and cleared his throat.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1sESfCNIe
"Cough….So, what if you don't get a call?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtjwjUrSWI
"He will call."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIPOXDwj47
"......"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4LLPJAfDo
"......"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxGUpgue2R
"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."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4MQXqOM2D
Chief Park silently watched the manager speak in a serious tone and nodded.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGhHqOale2
"Yes. I will."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDIB3MZnVy
"Thank you.... Chief Park. Oh yes, by the way Taemin said he has something to ask."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNfJ5HqtsI
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.....
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUASyabxjn0
"Hmm….What do you want to know?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaZtVYDiNX
"Please tell me who it is."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8JklWTosn
"Who….what?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvl1nel4MH
"The one who ordered me to discipline my manager."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuNZqoPqt9
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6TJNcVgG3
"Huh?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUqC3TVJ4o
He seemed very surprised, so he just stared at me. I asked again.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhbmy4Azgv
"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."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVB6McwJIZ
Of course it was him....
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TOuzxpVnN
"Ah...That's...It's..."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3MD2awwZf
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlG4C4nLpW
"Is it because the person who pressures you is an artist?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TlyAzziLM
The manager who was always watching beside me suddenly got angry and shouted at my question.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBcOEaP7KP
"Artist? Could it be Song Yoohan? That guy??!!"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtnQB1WnWL
"Ah no. Not Song Yoohan...and...not an artist either."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtteqZT9Cde
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa2jNMjuOX
"Really not an artist?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzreuF7kFgG
He nodded in response.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwFqMWRwOf
"Then why are you so surprised?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9o0atcYqb
I couldn't help but ask Chief Park, then he swallowed and said.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXhC0prAX0
"I was really surprised. I didn't expect you would actually ask that question."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9Nz9pLgsI
Really ask?....What?.....
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVptszbBRk1
"I actually received an order."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7XNj7LgDr
"Order?....What order?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBcYHgkYpJ
"When someone asks me about a disciplinarian, this is the answer."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRG1xa01Vu
He looked at me awkwardly and opened his mouth with difficulty.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmwIhMAM5d
"Stop worrying about other people's business Baekwon, you idiot.....That is it."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKfh6QQdT8
I turned my back, trying to swallow the curse words in my heart that were about to burst out.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh3pJRPxgx
Okay, I admit. He really is much more of a pain in the ass than me.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDtN6hedJN
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRBx7iYO3Z
[Come here now.]
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z1iBFihgg
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO8TzqPh4G
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm48cPS46Kt
Then, a muscular man in a black suit next to the entrance stood up to stop me.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8Xkyf6DFA
"You can't go this way."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LaZDqlEMw
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaImuT3HSZV
"This is a membership club, if you are not a member you cannot enter."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITuETx4bfi
"What if I am a member?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmqy0KNqHr
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3UOSqJMEi
"Are you a member?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrgfNxxSHm
"No."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mtNEIHnHb
Looking at his contorted face, I pointed down.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxmInW3xVQ
“But, the person waiting down there is a member."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xsOPLKwzF
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwURFwe4Zsh
"What is the name of your companion?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDqqNp94C4
"That...."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8N5XlBXve
"Could you tell me the name of your companion?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1kHObY2am
"!"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Dh8Hz1Cow
"You have to give me the name so I can check..."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL93uS1ktP
"Let's see if anyone looks like a madman in there."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgQ2QiPxr2
"Huh?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1knC8yiHNo
He raised his voice and grimaced.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmLWT0mJO1
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgG2jI6Byc
"Is it Mr. Lee Taemin?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSwMsWujjz
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONhnW1957r
"Ah yes, Lee Taemin is just a stage name, and the real name is Lee Baekwon. If it's you, then please...."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWRhrUh67q
When I looked over, I saw the security guard standing....I blushed in surprise at that so-called ‘’'real name of mine”.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA362TmLbA
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oBbkZMd6F
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsGzoJ9NGI
"This way."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSXKP7DeRI
Just as I stopped and looked around, he called out softly and led me into the leftmost aisle.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4mhkqoKv0
"It's easy for first timers to get lost, so please follow closely behind me."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzNTHDCnlI
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBHEuc6efR
"Can you wait here for a moment?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaSyNURQIq
Entering the small room with furniture that looked like a normal apartment, I asked him to close the door.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG68KcK8pZ
"How long?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUUhRHnBxG
He was about to close the door when he stopped and replied with a smile.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsFtb2A0d6
"It won't take more than 30 minutes."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNER3J18lI
Click.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q7t9Ha5g8
After the door closed, I looked around the quiet room, sat down at the end of the long sofa and checked the time.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmyVkMom7k
...9 hours and 29 minutes...
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qsv006rHd
"Come quickly...."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvJQi5E3i0
I was mumbling when suddenly the door opened and someone walked in.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4F5eM3qlM
"Hello sir."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5UylepCDB
A beautiful girl approached and greeted me.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTfFrJ6uOc
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM1aDb7zH0
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa39s1s1s2H
"In the meantime, let's chat for a while."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd70V1kMjr
"No need."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJLOzwgzQ0
"Ah, don't you like to be disturbed? Well then...."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQlYIObuzr
"I don't need to."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTDzYsV8ix
Staring at the girl. I coldly spat out.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg53Mzsvvb
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y6oqQGBZ2
"Get out of here."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVlcBT0Pq2
I pointed at the drink and asked in a low voice.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnh69Aq5fZ
The girl stopped breathing for a moment,and looked at me and realized it was true, and reluctantly put on a smile.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1g66Q779O
"Aren't you satisfied with me? Or should I go for another drink?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaalCr0hND
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE6fNSjTk9
"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."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw059gVDbmF
The voice is as sweet as the song of a bird...I would be grateful if I could drink expensive wine for free, but….
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0c9YNJqtJ
"I don't drink...So take it away."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmhc54ET1j
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxcJ0AGT8o
"Looks like you're not happy with me . I'll call someone else over."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXjLpWKYI1
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzplkxSIC7g
"Woah….You are so lovely...."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQNS7nKsuW
"Get out...."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXSg3T4kOo
I said, somehow I had an uneasy feeling that these words would have to keep coming out of my mouth.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfbRgIsWG8
9 hours and 59 minutes...

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?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp9BDOt8Ln
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."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVL7BRnsiD
"…."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiQZTfBlxg
"Is there anything uncomfortable about Mr. Lee Baekwon?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvohMQw4L5
"No."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTKbJnp0nN
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."
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbNmvl2LjX
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?

"Who is the person inside?"
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2KW5Y31lR
I tried to ask, he was a bit confused but immediately replied with a smile.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHanXdRXTR
"Of course, it is the one who is waiting for you, Mr. Lee Baekwon."

I suddenly felt extremely regretful, when I only had 200 won in my pocket the day I first met him.
