Chapter 10: Alice in wonderland
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjGAlFoblH
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfVe1P1tlc
"....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…."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfnoHnLkv5
I was about to say I was starting to feel tired, when suddenly I heard a faint vibration somewhere.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8OVGSIQce
"Mr. Lee has a very poor drink, so if I say it over and over again that it's a joke...."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSwYxL5MXC
"You have a phone."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mVT6Jrk1J
He pointed to the cell phone next to him.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBAtfrMqh3
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHBbqBwLgU
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgdMAjf7m9
"….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...."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs947jYZCn
While he unconsciously raised his voice, he looked at me and lowered his voice.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApQ9BOS1yw
"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."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMSlcybnY2
Tut…Tut....
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhcgNBhHvO
"...Haa…"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMXFzyk9DG
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0aNYhqvtk
"Taemin ah, why don't you ask me what happened....Go..on..."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptI46KTLRN
"What happened?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeMHtnr4Fu
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZNHcmiScH
"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."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD9b82vOJL
There was a faint smile on his face, but his eyes remained dark. Instead of being silent, I slowly spoke up.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXkIsQbjbz
"Then I guess it can't be helped. Seems like there's no choice but to give up on the lessons."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7eKIIZSzp
"!!"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejkP5E4tc7
"I'll be fine, for learning I can just go to prep schools....."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvinFARfBLs
"It can't be fine!! Because it's so absurd....Obviously your scheduled classes are all canceled by Myeongshin. "
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cCaTYOUrR
As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his mouth and lowered his eyes down as if thinking about something before lifting them up.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca2MM9jqwK
"That's right, it was Myeongshin who was wrong first.....Why should I be disciplined? That fuckin bastard!!...."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw3uWi1gJg
Hearing Manager curse words at Myeongshin for the first time made me smile inside.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagAuzj08yG
"So, what are you going to do now?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse61PDrAAu
"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..."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Fr6JBqFDr
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....
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKMqpiYVnD
"Talk to Chief Park...Try making a phone call to clear things up when you get to the office."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW9xg0OL4N
"What call?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSWSe3Esa9
He asked again. I turned to look at him.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDymkpJ4teN
"First let's go see Chief Park."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1caRasMaoL
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF4G5mQm29
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU10xL7mrZ
" 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."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSEa3mCYGw
He forcefully told the manager to let him lead the matter first.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUzQ3egUjJ
"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..."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo7UPNfa2f
"So you know. I was harmed by someone."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCstTwmgSE
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4axfPyA7oO
"Yoohan. Is it Song Yoohan?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfDP6MCWVv
"Cough….Let's see. I don't know. If you're just saying that without proof...."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC4nyJF3Sy
"Haha….I can give you proof....Watch it here."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzKhLpls2m
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1kinEuaVJ
"Listen carefully. Hello? Myeongshin right?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO4hw6HT9M
[What do you mean by that?]
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkos2HcKMG3
"Thank you for everything, thanks to me?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjovw3KX4u
I could hear Myeongshin's exasperated voice through the speakerphone. Now, the manager only smiled at him, no longer had to bow like before.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WBHjlQIag
"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."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeptpoaYxpW
When Myeongshin asked again.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e1k0fCjSV
[Mr. Lee?...Don't make me laugh over doing it with that bluff….]
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxerznoKmC
"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…”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT3Ueuvc7P
Tut. Tut. Tut..
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI8JHMxWOE
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAVkBl35Qe
"If I now recommend to Chief Park about dedicated instructors, then am I right?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEqnPg6vpn
When asked by Manager, Chief Park put his hand on his forehead because he had a headache.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYGJVlILBu
"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...."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibecvZQJao
"It's real."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JxZlVpp6W
"Hah?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcOAtYJjJ6
"I just brought Taemin to take pictures there."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdnTWoeQDA
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqDlC95INd
Chief Park must have been surprised, then blinked and cleared his throat.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsK0ewE1we
"Cough….So, what if you don't get a call?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhuriTcgAd
"He will call."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi3jgYmnmJ
"......"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z6GZ2iKpr
"......"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSyYDOKvcs
"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."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPalyUVnNZ
Chief Park silently watched the manager speak in a serious tone and nodded.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl223XHqdAt
"Yes. I will."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv621o1GMPB
"Thank you.... Chief Park. Oh yes, by the way Taemin said he has something to ask."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMvJOU8ml4
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.....
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIBNYbQhLX
"Hmm….What do you want to know?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XAFdDjSLK
"Please tell me who it is."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBSg1eGUQW
"Who….what?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR1PWzfq4b
"The one who ordered me to discipline my manager."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSRCCHf1VL
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzbRyGfd0v
"Huh?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwylPyx4Yha
He seemed very surprised, so he just stared at me. I asked again.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx91exDiiob
"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."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GiFkbJ6tM
Of course it was him....
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPWypdoH55
"Ah...That's...It's..."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleXAQ6Gp53
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DHI5wfM2M
"Is it because the person who pressures you is an artist?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfev7j6eT8O
The manager who was always watching beside me suddenly got angry and shouted at my question.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanKQk0HVYV
"Artist? Could it be Song Yoohan? That guy??!!"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaldZ68POT
"Ah no. Not Song Yoohan...and...not an artist either."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8fWmuVmB0
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYqEAb1HM5
"Really not an artist?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpxMtwfPQv
He nodded in response.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZUsVz47Pb
"Then why are you so surprised?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNu9x9xFve1
I couldn't help but ask Chief Park, then he swallowed and said.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C0ap1U5Oj
"I was really surprised. I didn't expect you would actually ask that question."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uEjPjSUJO
Really ask?....What?.....
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e65aNgZBV
"I actually received an order."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEVHq1jN8P
"Order?....What order?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGZWfhsVwD
"When someone asks me about a disciplinarian, this is the answer."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQaJzwmutY
He looked at me awkwardly and opened his mouth with difficulty.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF534YxOx5b
"Stop worrying about other people's business Baekwon, you idiot.....That is it."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiSUwcLg6F
I turned my back, trying to swallow the curse words in my heart that were about to burst out.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1RPiy7Qpw
Okay, I admit. He really is much more of a pain in the ass than me.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegmvGC9Hna
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q3PJ4P3hP
[Come here now.]
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMRUhDxo1W
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmyQqACrs2
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwOrYLN91y
Then, a muscular man in a black suit next to the entrance stood up to stop me.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfmDgKA26P
"You can't go this way."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSVJRpXq2X
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6RCbZs5I0
"This is a membership club, if you are not a member you cannot enter."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5A8RXE1uH
"What if I am a member?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThEuu9mV0s
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yKyADidMc
"Are you a member?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSz1L0fM1Y
"No."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXafKtaTEr
Looking at his contorted face, I pointed down.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEA1C6EGeK
“But, the person waiting down there is a member."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8As3YFZvFG
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVqbSkyjTw
"What is the name of your companion?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqUlbyQUlQ
"That...."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj4vlhQBEe
"Could you tell me the name of your companion?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVay2IIruQ
"!"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHp3f5ted9
"You have to give me the name so I can check..."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvLi1uVVOR
"Let's see if anyone looks like a madman in there."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTuhyCOvK7
"Huh?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKvmv4nOAE
He raised his voice and grimaced.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHwyhKLxNs
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnhRTl9gsO
"Is it Mr. Lee Taemin?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ7qPBqD7e
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aALwfExvB
"Ah yes, Lee Taemin is just a stage name, and the real name is Lee Baekwon. If it's you, then please...."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgIGyhNpN8
When I looked over, I saw the security guard standing....I blushed in surprise at that so-called ‘’'real name of mine”.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sJTALR9LV
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEYPY5RjOO
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehTs0tTog3
"This way."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e8apwfeFa
Just as I stopped and looked around, he called out softly and led me into the leftmost aisle.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSbazewXN6
"It's easy for first timers to get lost, so please follow closely behind me."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrGYcppMMf
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7mcPnPBKK
"Can you wait here for a moment?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqUcRGMp13
Entering the small room with furniture that looked like a normal apartment, I asked him to close the door.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKDXGYHZcL
"How long?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJXOxIEyLu
He was about to close the door when he stopped and replied with a smile.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7C88gAGOw
"It won't take more than 30 minutes."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhb6oR6rU9
Click.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmSVIme9Gy
After the door closed, I looked around the quiet room, sat down at the end of the long sofa and checked the time.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo28hOtSkE4
...9 hours and 29 minutes...
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOEfgXSvlX
"Come quickly...."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RuUO03ovx
I was mumbling when suddenly the door opened and someone walked in.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q790Opizi
"Hello sir."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGgo7pDcRJ
A beautiful girl approached and greeted me.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluuGlwXF2b
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYLVH9D8vA
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52v9Xqqspp
"In the meantime, let's chat for a while."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeHSZCQxM3
"No need."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LykTpzgNE
"Ah, don't you like to be disturbed? Well then...."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLObR6bLkU
"I don't need to."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqmKGmuJ35
Staring at the girl. I coldly spat out.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb9gz8oxWW
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64A9uLqdwd
"Get out of here."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2buTSpGW7T
I pointed at the drink and asked in a low voice.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49kHCggd0N
The girl stopped breathing for a moment,and looked at me and realized it was true, and reluctantly put on a smile.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvJTUUNOBN
"Aren't you satisfied with me? Or should I go for another drink?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5ih2E7pSd
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB65UWdEJKP
"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."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Uz4iMVWGV
The voice is as sweet as the song of a bird...I would be grateful if I could drink expensive wine for free, but….
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpCaPbC51c
"I don't drink...So take it away."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m6R2DzgHW
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMDAbjM2nD
"Looks like you're not happy with me . I'll call someone else over."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUzsKuGSbF
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ963nL9RzhO
"Woah….You are so lovely...."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp0tzP3HFm
"Get out...."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63mxiki8d9
I said, somehow I had an uneasy feeling that these words would have to keep coming out of my mouth.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssxl00xw73
9 hours and 59 minutes...
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1JEFgmUgI
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?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1fXK1tdg8
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?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6MNpvnjPz
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."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH9GjkBTEg
"…."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ7yioZkdK
"Is there anything uncomfortable about Mr. Lee Baekwon?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70Y5ne43PR
"No."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbqVGiVHEd
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."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y6h0V3n6W
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?
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxoNKZIPKW
"Who is the person inside?"
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JYpCmMC3g
I tried to ask, he was a bit confused but immediately replied with a smile.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6NtDCx8J7
"Of course, it is the one who is waiting for you, Mr. Lee Baekwon."
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCHip1R1LR
I suddenly felt extremely regretful, when I only had 200 won in my pocket the day I first met him.
