Chapter 5: Keep the change
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGzKjf9dAG
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPBfT45sqv
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Kn3tsWtQ9
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGBHxRkGCN
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT1BdRZCWM
"Can I have a cigarette?"
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa0w9QALNW
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzwp2ZtK6Q
"I'm not asking for it for free. I just need one."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnXKDSNuJm
Plop.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshjOmjYaaa
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkIh9OiJdm
"Wait a minute."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGgG8G3WS1
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd0E5IS7C3
Clink, clink. Drrr.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlp38LIHws
As I looked at the 200 won coin that rolled a little and then stopped, I added.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl9psWjA7p
"Keep the change."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyEKpXwkIP
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5ReBV8Cgo
"You miscalculated, idiot."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiZYObbV0j
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcncGpDg8p
"Are your ears blocked?"
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Fl2ZNULzk
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRxYCSxoVX
"That's right. I miscalculated. That's why I told you to keep the change."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2YbZYjqDr
The corners of his eyes curved even more. But I couldn't smile.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxog1X9JOj0
"Change? Ah, this."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRf6VmbdFV
He stretched out his hand, showed me the 200 won, and added kindly.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE2a1ih2xM
"Sure. If you give me 200 million won, this would be the change."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZsa7fZhmj
200 million won for a half-smoked cigarette? Is that jerk trying to strike a fortune with a cigarette that was thrown away.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT90t8bAFA
"Don't talk nonsense."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh8qluN4eE
He replied coldly in a lazy tone.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmszLAQkRo
"Should I tell you my one secret? I don't make jokes."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlqFnZgT3x
The words came out lightly like a joke, but there was a cold look in his non-smiling eyes.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCFdgMaFkO
"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."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH6P4MTZZD
I frowned and stared at him.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiCKWVUqQd
"Who are you?"
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxhlf7nS0c
As if the question was unexpected, the smile vanished for a moment but the lips soon returned to their original curves.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqlXz2tiID
"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."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiXtHWwLwE
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Kn3YnTvWm
"You must be mistaken, I don't know how famous of an actor you are, but even 200 won is too much for me."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8WRtjZtqx
"....Actor?"
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTDP6iU6Iw
"Or are you a singer?"
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmD9Ll8Qik
"......."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWD1LAuG2m
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfMQnB4eTM
"Don't you belong to this agency?"
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC9lhBJ3Sb
"No….Not yet."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjADvSha03P
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6HFDPORLW
"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."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFc3wFiYR3
What interview? Anyway, it was absurd to have to pay more than that.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSrikAdR7n
"That's funny."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YCyDINS52
"I'm sad. I even told you the secret that I don't joke."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQgY7N2EtX
I frowned again at the languid voice. Then, I threw the half-burnt cigarette in front of him.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAUk3LrdZB
"Let's do a refund. Give me my money."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0lh9gS4Lu
But instead, he put the coin in his pocket and took another step closer.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2tbYY35ed
"Take it away from me. Then I'll give you a refund."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHgT3xEpbq
The bored voice came from that smiling face again.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta9rVaBist
"Although I don't think you have the skills to do that."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuyxwZDkaq
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1o7LbT86D
"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."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmhQd7hXHo
Tsk. Clicking my tongue, I took a step back. Seeing my actions, the other party looked disappointed.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH6NSi7xGa
"You don't look like a coward….Ah, is it because you're afraid your face will get injured?"
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGIPY0WwN8
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DQrJBAo9B
Pa!
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNk47watFc
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wlvDtEOps
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqCE9gxdd5
Thud.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGQ6SH5tuO
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHaBogjAzg
"Ugh."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkfgcQb73q
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNChuvyXLA
"You're quite good."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0edw9f324W
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtCVLWp145
"Urgh...!"
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbmEf9rVxY
I reflexively let out a pained cry and stared at him. I ran into a really annoying guy.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkQxiqEAs0
"I like those eyes."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueeXAD0ueh
Unlike the laziness in the tone, those cold eyes looked down at me.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFbLnSDqQD
"Who scouted you?"
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUeLr59BDv
"......."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVpaPhI37f
"Your name?"
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MEcWfvhWq
"......."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvjbji1S2y
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUgQEw1SqA
"What's your purpose in approaching me?"
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYcL86d9GK
I couldn't help but answer this question.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ6qNgWtz9
"For cigarettes. Who knows who you are."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpITxfLdOPM
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3ruHxkAPY
"You really don't know me."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZb7fWE62y
"I don't watch TV."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHPFnbGpZb
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKWe7GCcsV
"Take your hands off me."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYmgGTHvDW
I muttered in annoyance, but he turned a deaf ear to my words and other words came out of his mouth.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvEdJAn2pi
"You are not the type to be a celebrity. Because there is no aspiring celebrity who doesn't even watch TV."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLwbuTvhPC
"......."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDN2uvZzy1
"But you desperately covered your face to become a celebrity."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXodr1mdLK0
The finger that was moving over my lips stopped. His expression disappeared, and he looked down at me with emotionless eyes.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdrNRGRbog
"You must have another reason?"
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pfSsCvphb
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfXFfergvN
"It's not because of you, so it doesn't matter."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNpiFg2r9b
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….
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkdLWVBSCv
Drrring.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoandGaIWc
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86W2Ye9OoO
[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…]
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNASbizgMVS
Clatter.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy6fnOl8WU
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvO4p1B9ei
"Try to pass the interview well. That way, you can get a discount from me."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKZyus9cY7
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJu8YcMSmV
"Or I can help you instead of giving you a discount."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn197jt6Fv
"What kind of help?"
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaykLhc2KA
"Revenge. You're trying to be a celebrity because of that."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI9O12GrEe
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVJStvdbjL
"I can be your sponsor."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhskLdem3o5
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGVTI0Gl1h
"I don't need you."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBZPgXAsx5
"Since you didn't say that you don't want to, that means you're fine with men too."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbvTb31gn6
"......"
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHrARnCK4i
"And you said you don't need me. That means you need another sponsor. Who is it?"
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLlUZs6nY3
There was no reason to answer, so I turned around as I heard a slow voice.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11lMDq8w9x
"If you tell me, I'll cut the price of cigarettes in half."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBfcbucPAw
But the words that followed stopped me again. To be exact, it was a cold voice without laughter.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k6wqewJ9L
"Or you'll have to work like a dog all your life and pay back the money."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCUpOjxVjl
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzWDOlRnhJ
"Why are you curious about that?"
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYaDAKHlZQ
"Just because."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP1Q4Q91yB
"......"
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCma77kHOvo
"Don't worry. I'll keep the secret."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmrrXsxJaQ
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunZ5pCeHof
"It's the Director Yoon of this company."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodDqyVJjbz
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp80POPKVXu
"Gasp! What's wrong with your face?!"
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySAqtaI9Hy
".....Because of a madman."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkFcS5w2Hc
The uncle mumbled trying to understand my statement, and his eyes grew bigger.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eInIXEFlG
"Madman? In the company? At this late hour?"
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKVrjHpTgg
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakjPJufYfS
"Are you going to sign a contract with me?"
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68wvnYq3UU
"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."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7KVrt2CSB
Then he started to scare me.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV570S4315x
"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."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiRS2n8nAi
"I got it."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjrnv4Zcy5
"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?"
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9KGKmUWqn
"Manager."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHpvAEHt3F
When I called him, I looked at his eyes full of worries.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9ebXpYpYv
"I'm not that naive or a nice person."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc42t81RO3I
"But, still....."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdXIVa4Xfp
"I just need you to help me the way you usually do. I'll do the rest of the dirty and tough work."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiEPAPCEIG
Looking at me still for a long time, he asked me quietly.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNobsZDfBv
"What on earth did Myeongshin do?"
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrU0bEXvur
"......."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR251qkNBY
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFCP8h3Ard
"Similar to what happened to you, CEO."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozphRZ8PsB
I added as if it was nothing special.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonJfC7XEP0
"Just paying back what I went through."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNp42yHK7x
Then I got up from my seat and pointed at the clock hanging on the wall.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfToeYf9yd
"I want to go back to sleep, I have to go to work."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR308HQCIK
The two of them also quickly got up from their seats.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwtHEucKHD
"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."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc84FdCgnU
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnQLGGkL4u
"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."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx6WoQjomq
He nodded his head as he answered the phone with a bewildered look.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmBw64m7hg
"I'll take him there tomorrow."
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9baNjASt7J
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.
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVj4BULujW
"W-what to do? You have an interview tomorrow!"
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66qB5FzjT6
