Chapter 5: Keep the change
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWnnzP0xqx
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMs7d1bJZw
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDEVu1Rjlc
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbRl7tDX1f
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHVy4KbACb
"Can I have a cigarette?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl22EA0KluS
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjv1EDRorZ
"I'm not asking for it for free. I just need one."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA7feLwxHI
Plop.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjBVRymTGb
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6klUCfknz2
"Wait a minute."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cwEwnBSBs
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8twidG2wL
Clink, clink. Drrr.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7CcSGsM8k
As I looked at the 200 won coin that rolled a little and then stopped, I added.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKPjZdRytB
"Keep the change."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LqmF9in6p
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAdG1ciKvZ
"You miscalculated, idiot."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqtrXmV12X
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLeb3OyY0a
"Are your ears blocked?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsshX6wJ5iV
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2CtzFn9pM
"That's right. I miscalculated. That's why I told you to keep the change."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNeQxfjs9t
The corners of his eyes curved even more. But I couldn't smile.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOsMpCUdLr
"Change? Ah, this."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyDDb2BX8k
He stretched out his hand, showed me the 200 won, and added kindly.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtvEf4D4D0
"Sure. If you give me 200 million won, this would be the change."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgvpTLISjC
200 million won for a half-smoked cigarette? Is that jerk trying to strike a fortune with a cigarette that was thrown away.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YM2NrAvZO
"Don't talk nonsense."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrUx18vHNA
He replied coldly in a lazy tone.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7jX5qlev0
"Should I tell you my one secret? I don't make jokes."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6dpOGReZ6
The words came out lightly like a joke, but there was a cold look in his non-smiling eyes.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhlWXivIZZ
"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."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOavgLhBb4a
I frowned and stared at him.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuczkpFQKb
"Who are you?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtVrRBNCpR
As if the question was unexpected, the smile vanished for a moment but the lips soon returned to their original curves.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9pkSA7Vj5
"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."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwYV1hH3Yu
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5XjgLcfYl
"You must be mistaken, I don't know how famous of an actor you are, but even 200 won is too much for me."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml3wzvGCS2
"....Actor?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALnazL9mi1
"Or are you a singer?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GVsHCYID1
"......."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy5YWPqHLk
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB68EI8qPVe
"Don't you belong to this agency?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth3LPK21Zy
"No….Not yet."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkzIx5cGFy
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWhESHD7xO
"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."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LDHyTNKhY
What interview? Anyway, it was absurd to have to pay more than that.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Bg4BZDK3I
"That's funny."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnaKyrEn5m
"I'm sad. I even told you the secret that I don't joke."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4J1fIMR3D
I frowned again at the languid voice. Then, I threw the half-burnt cigarette in front of him.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lNqUftBiX
"Let's do a refund. Give me my money."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMpIpWJX1m
But instead, he put the coin in his pocket and took another step closer.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA0HPlRZxB
"Take it away from me. Then I'll give you a refund."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEYPJlaHQK
The bored voice came from that smiling face again.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡked2Apmnsx
"Although I don't think you have the skills to do that."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvKvgSKK2E
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8wIJg5p9Y
"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."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvorsUK3qd
Tsk. Clicking my tongue, I took a step back. Seeing my actions, the other party looked disappointed.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx151hsX2F
"You don't look like a coward….Ah, is it because you're afraid your face will get injured?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7fDfqb4ab
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1F6pCYQt4
Pa!
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQwp3N7ML6
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEcziUrREs
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ07eReIVT
Thud.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwSfpz53Z8
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO6hViouyg
"Ugh."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqvuVmCXDW
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnCQhYQH3w
"You're quite good."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7y7YEUeYx
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5GevQbMxL
"Urgh...!"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbK37EG0O6
I reflexively let out a pained cry and stared at him. I ran into a really annoying guy.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB8B1GJ2Q6
"I like those eyes."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBSVXDtTi4
Unlike the laziness in the tone, those cold eyes looked down at me.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dBikxx3Hk
"Who scouted you?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4FMKr3WwV
"......."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxxUgLGbjA
"Your name?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFI9ZHlAeO
"......."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJliIxOdcU
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8veTojGqy
"What's your purpose in approaching me?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNh9SlXbS6
I couldn't help but answer this question.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIikV9xpI2
"For cigarettes. Who knows who you are."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbVq31Ue0l
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvzgyMhSWV
"You really don't know me."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXQGzmO6Wy
"I don't watch TV."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp32F4BoPU
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8ikfvHmVI
"Take your hands off me."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafgYlzUmxa
I muttered in annoyance, but he turned a deaf ear to my words and other words came out of his mouth.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSyS2U5O8U
"You are not the type to be a celebrity. Because there is no aspiring celebrity who doesn't even watch TV."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYl1US0w4A
"......."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZwaFLH7JE
"But you desperately covered your face to become a celebrity."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrbdcCAXeb
The finger that was moving over my lips stopped. His expression disappeared, and he looked down at me with emotionless eyes.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRDbPMko2h
"You must have another reason?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVbHPKDDuH
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52HUs00VW3
"It's not because of you, so it doesn't matter."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeOiRKblSE
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….
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hHzdYCdNl
Drrring.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUIjSXbOeX
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAQoEn9aDR
[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…]
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfVc4SM9uk
Clatter.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85Kc6slcYS
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ6pwY7XCc
"Try to pass the interview well. That way, you can get a discount from me."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ945ImToaNf
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gH4eLfrFv
"Or I can help you instead of giving you a discount."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpyoamKUC1
"What kind of help?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkmIGRh5lI
"Revenge. You're trying to be a celebrity because of that."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjFRB2OmeM
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNwkkX1twS
"I can be your sponsor."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNLBDGfiRQ
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUK4H2Mow1
"I don't need you."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kPFd4adkO
"Since you didn't say that you don't want to, that means you're fine with men too."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylkHjueuTP
"......"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MkWTwWwU5
"And you said you don't need me. That means you need another sponsor. Who is it?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZCKxNaTwa
There was no reason to answer, so I turned around as I heard a slow voice.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvtmNx8UYa
"If you tell me, I'll cut the price of cigarettes in half."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgwsG26yG4
But the words that followed stopped me again. To be exact, it was a cold voice without laughter.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl4yF1YD3t
"Or you'll have to work like a dog all your life and pay back the money."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsLY7x9ORw
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2heaky9IO
"Why are you curious about that?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAycgfMwzI
"Just because."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc3EcAklRh
"......"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0dpIocQxl
"Don't worry. I'll keep the secret."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrHbjKcehW
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDrwBp2GAP
"It's the Director Yoon of this company."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7hunhhxz0
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6oFiRImqY
"Gasp! What's wrong with your face?!"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLaJHjhHIm
".....Because of a madman."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7S3QBMpHH
The uncle mumbled trying to understand my statement, and his eyes grew bigger.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgRN1aciCL
"Madman? In the company? At this late hour?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMVtFxkiXm
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbePo993HGW
"Are you going to sign a contract with me?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc6fr1m4DO
"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."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBrauP7zTN
Then he started to scare me.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweUu6xMiQj
"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."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgqdhv8DZe
"I got it."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeYlX8McA5
"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?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2AqHuqIDc
"Manager."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpBYSxpsoL
When I called him, I looked at his eyes full of worries.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDy7LtazYC
"I'm not that naive or a nice person."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse4eTM14Wb
"But, still....."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiIJblD6Sf
"I just need you to help me the way you usually do. I'll do the rest of the dirty and tough work."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0lVQcoEC1
Looking at me still for a long time, he asked me quietly.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33OLVtW8Ol
"What on earth did Myeongshin do?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXY87ukdOh
"......."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5u9mBxLGg
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtig4ddOnXQ
"Similar to what happened to you, CEO."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g9n4WqPuC
I added as if it was nothing special.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb8IPiI5tP
"Just paying back what I went through."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ33KdkplRD
Then I got up from my seat and pointed at the clock hanging on the wall.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh4imQO0Qx
"I want to go back to sleep, I have to go to work."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiivahuH5kZ
The two of them also quickly got up from their seats.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvZxNasshJ
"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."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsN0IoTq9l
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGi70pBlXJ
"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."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1l6vz2ovB
He nodded his head as he answered the phone with a bewildered look.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmld5kr1aQx
"I'll take him there tomorrow."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSTUcSdo4G
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M65iVO9yK
"W-what to do? You have an interview tomorrow!"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxznLXHdZRY
