Chapter 10: Alice in wonderland
198Please respect copyright.PENANA4Rb8MJoV92
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAyBwDsASibn
"....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…."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAFiQ1ShrI2p
I was about to say I was starting to feel tired, when suddenly I heard a faint vibration somewhere.
198Please respect copyright.PENANA0NvLqhvf7C
"Mr. Lee has a very poor drink, so if I say it over and over again that it's a joke...."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAgDaVbKtKOM
"You have a phone."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAgsnXop54r5
He pointed to the cell phone next to him.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAD0PFW7ObnO
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANA5hwPZlWBzC
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAkciMj8dvmI
"….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...."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAbE8M5jakzn
While he unconsciously raised his voice, he looked at me and lowered his voice.
198Please respect copyright.PENANArlfRHlFL1z
"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."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAHxH6BzRjZp
Tut…Tut....
198Please respect copyright.PENANAnHxoqHkG2R
"...Haa…"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAq9gPtxv5xv
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAq9mFiZRznY
"Taemin ah, why don't you ask me what happened....Go..on..."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAc57vN9klaT
"What happened?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAm5towWg1um
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAFaLOjwW3DB
"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."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAc2jqFucc3j
There was a faint smile on his face, but his eyes remained dark. Instead of being silent, I slowly spoke up.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAL01l4SZdDE
"Then I guess it can't be helped. Seems like there's no choice but to give up on the lessons."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAT3h4avqkK0
"!!"
198Please respect copyright.PENANADHdAyTiiVm
"I'll be fine, for learning I can just go to prep schools....."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAcaZ7AsMCJ6
"It can't be fine!! Because it's so absurd....Obviously your scheduled classes are all canceled by Myeongshin. "
198Please respect copyright.PENANAB2uzaLJbZU
As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his mouth and lowered his eyes down as if thinking about something before lifting them up.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAEmEcIkVu7a
"That's right, it was Myeongshin who was wrong first.....Why should I be disciplined? That fuckin bastard!!...."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAK2eWLYmfyA
Hearing Manager curse words at Myeongshin for the first time made me smile inside.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAfdrvkbW0Cf
"So, what are you going to do now?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAOmqjTA4uoD
"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..."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAtRS7zVBKP8
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....
198Please respect copyright.PENANASUrQc4Q9dA
"Talk to Chief Park...Try making a phone call to clear things up when you get to the office."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAiZlmkrZL5b
"What call?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAuor4SSraNm
He asked again. I turned to look at him.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAS0oKGG6OnA
"First let's go see Chief Park."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAOVA0O8vJ20
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAg1bbfUoeOU
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAHt67ltMrSn
" 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."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAIqlHSaMPn2
He forcefully told the manager to let him lead the matter first.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAKlNu1fkzol
"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..."
198Please respect copyright.PENANA06xUrxALwk
"So you know. I was harmed by someone."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAlGKZFRqk51
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANA3zJIO7xsN7
"Yoohan. Is it Song Yoohan?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANADLennqRvbm
"Cough….Let's see. I don't know. If you're just saying that without proof...."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAd6Vi8LvFgM
"Haha….I can give you proof....Watch it here."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAl8WdpbszCP
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANADALbWRiTL5
"Listen carefully. Hello? Myeongshin right?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANABkIt3wTFF5
[What do you mean by that?]
198Please respect copyright.PENANAEG0jHFNHi2
"Thank you for everything, thanks to me?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAZN7MSDhd7l
I could hear Myeongshin's exasperated voice through the speakerphone. Now, the manager only smiled at him, no longer had to bow like before.
198Please respect copyright.PENANA96B2vqMZRH
"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."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAOmXqa121Uy
When Myeongshin asked again.
198Please respect copyright.PENANA79gnPeJ5lI
[Mr. Lee?...Don't make me laugh over doing it with that bluff….]
198Please respect copyright.PENANAZNPK10D6LW
"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…”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAHUeXmhVvaZ
Tut. Tut. Tut..
198Please respect copyright.PENANAV6RHWIVXaz
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAtPBxWLJZWV
"If I now recommend to Chief Park about dedicated instructors, then am I right?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAVpbnpTwGqU
When asked by Manager, Chief Park put his hand on his forehead because he had a headache.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAyZGPQbzeDU
"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...."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAEr0Te7gFgl
"It's real."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAbaZKz7X7Rl
"Hah?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAqUpqDAhOAt
"I just brought Taemin to take pictures there."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAoulvZd3EWd
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAXvKOy3tCBx
Chief Park must have been surprised, then blinked and cleared his throat.
198Please respect copyright.PENANASxkzPpmWNh
"Cough….So, what if you don't get a call?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANA5vmII4I0XF
"He will call."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAP1OR0sNqhq
"......"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAzEdBP092hN
"......"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAkdy2H4oVX9
"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."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAvvuOC49YfF
Chief Park silently watched the manager speak in a serious tone and nodded.
198Please respect copyright.PENANA5P6W8HOHV8
"Yes. I will."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAm14dBax4oR
"Thank you.... Chief Park. Oh yes, by the way Taemin said he has something to ask."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAPQqZHx01AL
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.....
198Please respect copyright.PENANAskxXkPHmvc
"Hmm….What do you want to know?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAoPWHOL7ogM
"Please tell me who it is."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAY8l2lR7mRO
"Who….what?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAOu5TFIOs32
"The one who ordered me to discipline my manager."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAMJk4anlE51
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAMmccxqeN8G
"Huh?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAWo9B3aCyao
He seemed very surprised, so he just stared at me. I asked again.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAkHWb5VEhQE
"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."
198Please respect copyright.PENANADhFN3W4cOq
Of course it was him....
198Please respect copyright.PENANACX2sTl0SAu
"Ah...That's...It's..."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAwCDjosnX94
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANA3PKT1dxfst
"Is it because the person who pressures you is an artist?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAtkWT9NFdKe
The manager who was always watching beside me suddenly got angry and shouted at my question.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6ZQueTbqa
"Artist? Could it be Song Yoohan? That guy??!!"
198Please respect copyright.PENANASU3Br1wdq9
"Ah no. Not Song Yoohan...and...not an artist either."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAPwrcQAwCOC
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAZoqw9tjd82
"Really not an artist?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAdCs8MQgBDq
He nodded in response.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAmn42iVSNeK
"Then why are you so surprised?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAPbhz3JHVRN
I couldn't help but ask Chief Park, then he swallowed and said.
198Please respect copyright.PENANASWODgWZr6o
"I was really surprised. I didn't expect you would actually ask that question."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAn3OlFgTylM
Really ask?....What?.....
198Please respect copyright.PENANA6Gwece0Gep
"I actually received an order."
198Please respect copyright.PENANA9UpoLRXIPL
"Order?....What order?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAHiXZGXUIz6
"When someone asks me about a disciplinarian, this is the answer."
198Please respect copyright.PENANA5N8ZYaxj4L
He looked at me awkwardly and opened his mouth with difficulty.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAbDVyRh0Uoi
"Stop worrying about other people's business Baekwon, you idiot.....That is it."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAANDVXvJhiL
I turned my back, trying to swallow the curse words in my heart that were about to burst out.
198Please respect copyright.PENANApdXp9JakSy
Okay, I admit. He really is much more of a pain in the ass than me.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAR2mCQFWhvC
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAOxC8Gt1yC0
[Come here now.]
198Please respect copyright.PENANAp3vpXFcU1r
The sender was [Madman].
198Please respect copyright.PENANAIPRpsDyrlU

198Please respect copyright.PENANAyAKCjoqMU8
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAfLYOL8gVMn
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAWXtOOG8BJG
Then, a muscular man in a black suit next to the entrance stood up to stop me.
198Please respect copyright.PENANA4Cv6dbkQjQ
"You can't go this way."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAHhtvlbkeXY
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAZqbk0JE1S6
"This is a membership club, if you are not a member you cannot enter."
198Please respect copyright.PENANA1BpZQEheUv
"What if I am a member?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANABzy6gI0mGM
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAPIvaX5U0xy
"Are you a member?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANA44Qj5JNXXI
"No."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAuSb2SKYMkQ
Looking at his contorted face, I pointed down.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAHscbONewAb
“But, the person waiting down there is a member."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAz2R8lt63fY
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAEY9KuyusN9
"What is the name of your companion?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAGToGninLW5
"That...."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAqszILjUIXA
"Could you tell me the name of your companion?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAwaQiFuZVmi
"!"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAWg0BaAa4N9
"You have to give me the name so I can check..."
198Please respect copyright.PENANApKGoPyvEuV
"Let's see if anyone looks like a madman in there."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAyxvHkdS1yU
"Huh?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANA6HUBkqHYaV
He raised his voice and grimaced.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAFAbvsGDX3c
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANABJThpnZV4X
"Is it Mr. Lee Taemin?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANA9bdAarEZui
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAyLoRAZDde5
"Ah yes, Lee Taemin is just a stage name, and the real name is Lee Baekwon. If it's you, then please...."
198Please respect copyright.PENANATgZUMswvPE
When I looked over, I saw the security guard standing....I blushed in surprise at that so-called ‘’'real name of mine”.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAraogvbyxpQ
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAlXPNP8FoFd
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANASvy5kb4NPZ
"This way."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAAuBawOJsfu
Just as I stopped and looked around, he called out softly and led me into the leftmost aisle.
198Please respect copyright.PENANADjGGPAP4e7
"It's easy for first timers to get lost, so please follow closely behind me."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAeGDNiyFqR5
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAiqjgHVCl9G
"Can you wait here for a moment?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAvaO8UXRdAE
Entering the small room with furniture that looked like a normal apartment, I asked him to close the door.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAnD5ruCIcBO
"How long?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAn6RW8yBMoO
He was about to close the door when he stopped and replied with a smile.
198Please respect copyright.PENANA5FtxjW6GUM
"It won't take more than 30 minutes."
198Please respect copyright.PENANA6x3X0eZDOD
Click.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAdeWMkGGZoF
After the door closed, I looked around the quiet room, sat down at the end of the long sofa and checked the time.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAwVT5SnrAa3
...9 hours and 29 minutes...
198Please respect copyright.PENANAIvqQcIySEv
"Come quickly...."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAlEeUDjw8IZ
I was mumbling when suddenly the door opened and someone walked in.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAQp67KdHHwT
"Hello sir."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAHr0rlayG8L
A beautiful girl approached and greeted me.
198Please respect copyright.PENANA49N1Hxha4a
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAWvtpYATvR5
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2vpXxmI19
"In the meantime, let's chat for a while."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAO0oZnijAUx
"No need."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAPfsGNMLaSc
"Ah, don't you like to be disturbed? Well then...."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAMyVUFrvkZA
"I don't need to."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAdk1ihZZSLX
Staring at the girl. I coldly spat out.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAU6QZVeKmfR
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAkiNAE6n9dR
"Get out of here."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAHm4ZBPKsOy
I pointed at the drink and asked in a low voice.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAMjEqaTBqaf
The girl stopped breathing for a moment,and looked at me and realized it was true, and reluctantly put on a smile.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAhF1gUn5FsE
"Aren't you satisfied with me? Or should I go for another drink?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAkyAOWXnI9A
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAp8QoVsPJv7
"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."
198Please respect copyright.PENANApeHPayFtBj
The voice is as sweet as the song of a bird...I would be grateful if I could drink expensive wine for free, but….
198Please respect copyright.PENANASwxQ4gJ4J3
"I don't drink...So take it away."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAAiIOtcfEDE
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAzhbupT7E41
"Looks like you're not happy with me . I'll call someone else over."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAwOV8ffBGf7
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAmWIs63saq9
"Woah….You are so lovely...."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAUzzHlPkW5z
"Get out...."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9B022N5TO
I said, somehow I had an uneasy feeling that these words would have to keep coming out of my mouth.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAtUMiRRSyXB
9 hours and 59 minutes...
198Please respect copyright.PENANABZ1pz5ii93
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANA44gPcQj3GF
"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long. I have come to pick you up."
198Please respect copyright.PENANANREcu0PFNU
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANA8x4ylVS3la
Turn right, turn left, then turn right again.
198Please respect copyright.PENANABfmufcGL76
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAPoleXZ85wR
She becomes huge and can also shrink, and a rabbit appears…
198Please respect copyright.PENANAXkQw6Vf8nE
"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?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAyvld9GixKF
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."

"…."

"Is there anything uncomfortable about Mr. Lee Baekwon?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAfq5qJ9tr4c
"No."

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."

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?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAzPigQiBeqX
I tried to ask, he was a bit confused but immediately replied with a smile.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAIr6OoLvi5i
"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.
