Chapter 10: Alice in wonderland
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIniOBnJx6
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMIunH9jUb
"....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…."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1ehagd6A8
I was about to say I was starting to feel tired, when suddenly I heard a faint vibration somewhere.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFVkzNmYN9
"Mr. Lee has a very poor drink, so if I say it over and over again that it's a joke...."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A2slpFEBl
"You have a phone."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnIFxwwc53
He pointed to the cell phone next to him.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAII2JmYfNZ
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasCRcyPq5s
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnAaLzxqzo
"….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...."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr804uP13O4
While he unconsciously raised his voice, he looked at me and lowered his voice.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchU1lMuc7E
"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."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJyc6dNiE3
Tut…Tut....
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUIqV0tzuX
"...Haa…"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDof6TM5fsA
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtleR39C0Gb
"Taemin ah, why don't you ask me what happened....Go..on..."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFDFIwUpQo
"What happened?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lUs7NL05e
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22s5dJRQoV
"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."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aRuGBvNd2
There was a faint smile on his face, but his eyes remained dark. Instead of being silent, I slowly spoke up.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbdNH1Z4Jn
"Then I guess it can't be helped. Seems like there's no choice but to give up on the lessons."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx2thuDj4N
"!!"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaMc7tZlB5
"I'll be fine, for learning I can just go to prep schools....."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bEIRQh7xY
"It can't be fine!! Because it's so absurd....Obviously your scheduled classes are all canceled by Myeongshin. "
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6DAekhDG2
As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his mouth and lowered his eyes down as if thinking about something before lifting them up.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3zZIk6KUS
"That's right, it was Myeongshin who was wrong first.....Why should I be disciplined? That fuckin bastard!!...."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK6YIJqEb7
Hearing Manager curse words at Myeongshin for the first time made me smile inside.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCWZoe6yy4
"So, what are you going to do now?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PZmtQCVAL
"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..."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jGsBAa7ji
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....
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgrc1u0wcE
"Talk to Chief Park...Try making a phone call to clear things up when you get to the office."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X6zooGEvV
"What call?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvVCpFPiyk
He asked again. I turned to look at him.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRy8Sx0Vvb
"First let's go see Chief Park."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeHslTBKRI
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cpjZwNyXN
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4CMxOjvyQ
" 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."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PO3TEnBdy
He forcefully told the manager to let him lead the matter first.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QtWrhnHgA
"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..."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69Fv7vuQsT
"So you know. I was harmed by someone."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9x5o8XHTY
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFLT3Q13XK
"Yoohan. Is it Song Yoohan?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtnPBoFSoY
"Cough….Let's see. I don't know. If you're just saying that without proof...."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Wi3t4Y9V3
"Haha….I can give you proof....Watch it here."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY7WzrjhW8
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0Af21wizd
"Listen carefully. Hello? Myeongshin right?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8z0usUfJ6
[What do you mean by that?]
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAAodPFgNh
"Thank you for everything, thanks to me?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bPEPjmOK2
I could hear Myeongshin's exasperated voice through the speakerphone. Now, the manager only smiled at him, no longer had to bow like before.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5WeNZjY9w
"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."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwueRF2P9OB
When Myeongshin asked again.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8OKppXFrS
[Mr. Lee?...Don't make me laugh over doing it with that bluff….]
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzryj5baNiX
"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…”
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT78d7FCuPk
Tut. Tut. Tut..
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMl0azAExP
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJuC5wFd2C
"If I now recommend to Chief Park about dedicated instructors, then am I right?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDHvxwejX0
When asked by Manager, Chief Park put his hand on his forehead because he had a headache.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKhm367lR6
"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...."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxrWZ15rBb
"It's real."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZTVLZ1vvq
"Hah?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeU7R2qEg4
"I just brought Taemin to take pictures there."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR00K9aNDx5
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ACj2Qaelu
Chief Park must have been surprised, then blinked and cleared his throat.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCL6L5lOAOn
"Cough….So, what if you don't get a call?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhCic2mTiy
"He will call."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiixNIvAjK
"......"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdcIxJXgAa
"......"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4y50fTzH4
"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."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsCw3Oc8RS
Chief Park silently watched the manager speak in a serious tone and nodded.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKUAGfDzjP
"Yes. I will."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3TbZU9hF4
"Thank you.... Chief Park. Oh yes, by the way Taemin said he has something to ask."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR2U32zsty
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.....
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBw99SrjDX
"Hmm….What do you want to know?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo621BMHWmF
"Please tell me who it is."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdQ6rSwnaF
"Who….what?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3tNPYLPm5
"The one who ordered me to discipline my manager."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMvH0rj2iT
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoxW3JdLEG
"Huh?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0ZQHyKDPp
He seemed very surprised, so he just stared at me. I asked again.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5OL574gzj
"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."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvBG9FO0eZ
Of course it was him....
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHskaKTq1os
"Ah...That's...It's..."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC0DANeJ91
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CpMWg92Ox
"Is it because the person who pressures you is an artist?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDI1KcZpwT
The manager who was always watching beside me suddenly got angry and shouted at my question.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPKDRm77gZ
"Artist? Could it be Song Yoohan? That guy??!!"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2juCNLk1jM
"Ah no. Not Song Yoohan...and...not an artist either."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzK2WB2jRyl
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdsciVh3Ch
"Really not an artist?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Dv0qURtwz
He nodded in response.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp0fPoqyGI
"Then why are you so surprised?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSR5FRLg3C
I couldn't help but ask Chief Park, then he swallowed and said.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMGPyVfc8y
"I was really surprised. I didn't expect you would actually ask that question."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamH233lRZT
Really ask?....What?.....
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Up8OwobUW
"I actually received an order."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4047tayf3o
"Order?....What order?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb6HTg1IBi
"When someone asks me about a disciplinarian, this is the answer."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSSbIZ0L1r
He looked at me awkwardly and opened his mouth with difficulty.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwlXKkS7sG
"Stop worrying about other people's business Baekwon, you idiot.....That is it."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQBX5umFAI
I turned my back, trying to swallow the curse words in my heart that were about to burst out.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5SGtxKlBW
Okay, I admit. He really is much more of a pain in the ass than me.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZceQozkVML
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRAM4YIVlv
[Come here now.]
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCGua1WxT7
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUoaOTiMA3
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCBiDzK4vg
Then, a muscular man in a black suit next to the entrance stood up to stop me.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CbLgcEuzH
"You can't go this way."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWgpxT5edd
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9mrfzGtkF
"This is a membership club, if you are not a member you cannot enter."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprzlZD5i57
"What if I am a member?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44s4WHQ9gC
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6RWJDE3Xn
"Are you a member?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44PBABg8bD
"No."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dHE92xJ4x
Looking at his contorted face, I pointed down.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmWqIbW2o3
“But, the person waiting down there is a member."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuUosjRR3x
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ23lPseq3K
"What is the name of your companion?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjNhWyTD7j
"That...."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2drHc836g
"Could you tell me the name of your companion?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHKGrq0V8r
"!"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs8dCcb597
"You have to give me the name so I can check..."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZp7Ywj2rS
"Let's see if anyone looks like a madman in there."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8W7CrJznf
"Huh?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduFo7dEFqh
He raised his voice and grimaced.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz1kwXrgmZ
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VfUBTtK5U
"Is it Mr. Lee Taemin?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4dgXHWF71
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCmMgrIHmv
"Ah yes, Lee Taemin is just a stage name, and the real name is Lee Baekwon. If it's you, then please...."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wWFEtnrdE
When I looked over, I saw the security guard standing....I blushed in surprise at that so-called ‘’'real name of mine”.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRf7lYnrAw
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvTNOF7t8H
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JeMzXrdMY
"This way."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaK1Omce1M
Just as I stopped and looked around, he called out softly and led me into the leftmost aisle.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFptPEaUQ5
"It's easy for first timers to get lost, so please follow closely behind me."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkHf8CoDIr
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEtaLfWHXm
"Can you wait here for a moment?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3cfPE4hXK
Entering the small room with furniture that looked like a normal apartment, I asked him to close the door.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwW7XqzWhY
"How long?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZREKMvdRrv
He was about to close the door when he stopped and replied with a smile.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbgDwcJilP
"It won't take more than 30 minutes."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN7JysXqMY
Click.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOAcbf3KWa
After the door closed, I looked around the quiet room, sat down at the end of the long sofa and checked the time.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8mRKDlcMp
...9 hours and 29 minutes...
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEb3CRRYol
"Come quickly...."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FmcLc5T64
I was mumbling when suddenly the door opened and someone walked in.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQR9Uzpix4
"Hello sir."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcZghtVdXU
A beautiful girl approached and greeted me.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlgOw1ZOSl
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HKhj8e4ET
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2HYTWIjuS
"In the meantime, let's chat for a while."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8UTVvfHS8
"No need."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdMkSewoQG
"Ah, don't you like to be disturbed? Well then...."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8YiqUsh4K
"I don't need to."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbKmYnMRPH
Staring at the girl. I coldly spat out.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2SyIH5p9y
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbpCyLqr5M
"Get out of here."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZx3f2H6vi
I pointed at the drink and asked in a low voice.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzNb8ItGbq
The girl stopped breathing for a moment,and looked at me and realized it was true, and reluctantly put on a smile.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDB9kIBusLw
"Aren't you satisfied with me? Or should I go for another drink?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd8QRvop0p
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp9GTvnyTA
"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."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLqyp9P5c3
The voice is as sweet as the song of a bird...I would be grateful if I could drink expensive wine for free, but….
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrVDqJ858O
"I don't drink...So take it away."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00dYfIh53h
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlilonLoGez
"Looks like you're not happy with me . I'll call someone else over."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrn776eInu
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvtm5WmiEE
"Woah….You are so lovely...."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgxvH4wNE0
"Get out...."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL28CLcpfG
I said, somehow I had an uneasy feeling that these words would have to keep coming out of my mouth.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn9xsaTQyu
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?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH1lA6Esl8
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?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwwS0CVTZB
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."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJOhe9y8Yk
"…."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARWJiLKPVS
"Is there anything uncomfortable about Mr. Lee Baekwon?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6yvj86Rtq
"No."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5wjy8QlKN
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."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjeUUkQYiG
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?
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1OW0PPblY
"Who is the person inside?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7SwMIfPhj
I tried to ask, he was a bit confused but immediately replied with a smile.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6QWbLRYZh
"Of course, it is the one who is waiting for you, Mr. Lee Baekwon."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gm7hLkg2W
I suddenly felt extremely regretful, when I only had 200 won in my pocket the day I first met him.
