Chapter 10: Alice in wonderland
35Please respect copyright.PENANAlS1aM78SPE
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANARGMV5IhlAE
"....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…."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAyKweEC0XgN
I was about to say I was starting to feel tired, when suddenly I heard a faint vibration somewhere.
35Please respect copyright.PENANA7qXCbUARgw
"Mr. Lee has a very poor drink, so if I say it over and over again that it's a joke...."
35Please respect copyright.PENANADpNVhPULJ3
"You have a phone."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAqcVaiaC7za
He pointed to the cell phone next to him.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAMrxG7bBBfW
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAd2HgZqA0BW
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAgdDocsQGYK
"….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...."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAbUYRbBhe7J
While he unconsciously raised his voice, he looked at me and lowered his voice.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAypXWuK8o8e
"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."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAr79lLF5j7i
Tut…Tut....
35Please respect copyright.PENANAU3NcrKM8R5
"...Haa…"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAFpxs22F1B1
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAbMO7sWYu4a
"Taemin ah, why don't you ask me what happened....Go..on..."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAuThoMZvmJp
"What happened?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAfv7Vis5gth
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAr2cTJpbk2N
"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."
35Please respect copyright.PENANA8rhZCU0UuV
There was a faint smile on his face, but his eyes remained dark. Instead of being silent, I slowly spoke up.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAemLNAtCbcx
"Then I guess it can't be helped. Seems like there's no choice but to give up on the lessons."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAFYrQ93qofb
"!!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAFw4IYtLB06
"I'll be fine, for learning I can just go to prep schools....."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAnx4XrhmmnT
"It can't be fine!! Because it's so absurd....Obviously your scheduled classes are all canceled by Myeongshin. "
35Please respect copyright.PENANAoe1JLV5XxK
As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his mouth and lowered his eyes down as if thinking about something before lifting them up.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAAS4M2Ltmj9
"That's right, it was Myeongshin who was wrong first.....Why should I be disciplined? That fuckin bastard!!...."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAjqqATOsxRY
Hearing Manager curse words at Myeongshin for the first time made me smile inside.
35Please respect copyright.PENANANMDcXoM3KN
"So, what are you going to do now?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAuIrHCwbc2L
"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..."
35Please respect copyright.PENANA9KH74ErKig
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....
35Please respect copyright.PENANAK5313uoYDJ
"Talk to Chief Park...Try making a phone call to clear things up when you get to the office."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAUd2u4YwWJf
"What call?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAElm6gOFAGr
He asked again. I turned to look at him.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAcEHtGAO5sS
"First let's go see Chief Park."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAanGUaE0CCz
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANApMhRZGQY97
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAW3RE7rgDbZ
" 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."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAP5ZUP44tTw
He forcefully told the manager to let him lead the matter first.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAg1bCIgt78k
"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..."
35Please respect copyright.PENANABaDFPY9DwH
"So you know. I was harmed by someone."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAuZ2qHCbd4f
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANASnBeDeEKmo
"Yoohan. Is it Song Yoohan?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAUE38CQUSEZ
"Cough….Let's see. I don't know. If you're just saying that without proof...."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAQ25a90camj
"Haha….I can give you proof....Watch it here."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAkVeMJ4oUKR
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAC4Y4tKeWQl
"Listen carefully. Hello? Myeongshin right?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAQSJw1lkKZV
[What do you mean by that?]
35Please respect copyright.PENANAfj2yHZNxfK
"Thank you for everything, thanks to me?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAtUyQacynp9
I could hear Myeongshin's exasperated voice through the speakerphone. Now, the manager only smiled at him, no longer had to bow like before.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAdXRC0Qyi0b
"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."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAJQnUVyvrCd
When Myeongshin asked again.
35Please respect copyright.PENANA0BbiDbuWRA
[Mr. Lee?...Don't make me laugh over doing it with that bluff….]
35Please respect copyright.PENANAikvEt2JusL
"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…”
35Please respect copyright.PENANAlp7oAQ5A3K
Tut. Tut. Tut..
35Please respect copyright.PENANAGIu6KCbXfk
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANACJZ44ttwdx
"If I now recommend to Chief Park about dedicated instructors, then am I right?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAcfbMPBTtIW
When asked by Manager, Chief Park put his hand on his forehead because he had a headache.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAZJTY44DWTl
"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...."
35Please respect copyright.PENANA6GCJEvrtkg
"It's real."
35Please respect copyright.PENANA21bY5x8nFV
"Hah?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAD8TWiCMenb
"I just brought Taemin to take pictures there."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAYIUX7AHsTo
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANADv6KblfSyv
Chief Park must have been surprised, then blinked and cleared his throat.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAF16Z9A7Vbo
"Cough….So, what if you don't get a call?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAHhbAUhCs1B
"He will call."
35Please respect copyright.PENANACKm4ZNOndI
"......"
35Please respect copyright.PENANADtjBsRAydA
"......"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAe3zMoFYD8I
"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."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAmx3WzRAe1H
Chief Park silently watched the manager speak in a serious tone and nodded.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAW4Ei9cyVQ2
"Yes. I will."
35Please respect copyright.PENANARKC6IvJCsd
"Thank you.... Chief Park. Oh yes, by the way Taemin said he has something to ask."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAv4qIhxlBkj
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.....
35Please respect copyright.PENANAimBHhzk5VI
"Hmm….What do you want to know?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANA7IuOpVJ2vQ
"Please tell me who it is."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAj37kNjIqie
"Who….what?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAHiZGd6VWxe
"The one who ordered me to discipline my manager."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAkUcYEufkTs
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAFKMBlkWzE8
"Huh?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAVG5UKKbSDy
He seemed very surprised, so he just stared at me. I asked again.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAFadOym7ViJ
"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."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAWOhntmLqyp
Of course it was him....
35Please respect copyright.PENANAhSHNGAlwqR
"Ah...That's...It's..."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAK4sZjODuI4
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAGBk1ZDT1F2
"Is it because the person who pressures you is an artist?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAKAuB6JZWEy
The manager who was always watching beside me suddenly got angry and shouted at my question.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAOjAP69tSMK
"Artist? Could it be Song Yoohan? That guy??!!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAcnSixEJu9b
"Ah no. Not Song Yoohan...and...not an artist either."
35Please respect copyright.PENANA04vhWu5Cz1
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANACs7E09vPo2
"Really not an artist?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANATuqBBYSFB8
He nodded in response.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAbMkoYMOlIV
"Then why are you so surprised?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANA2tUPosd1FT
I couldn't help but ask Chief Park, then he swallowed and said.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAEgBLom4xJd
"I was really surprised. I didn't expect you would actually ask that question."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAnXCgGsi6Iv
Really ask?....What?.....
35Please respect copyright.PENANAmp5V0ZJJev
"I actually received an order."
35Please respect copyright.PENANA3HG0TJDxmm
"Order?....What order?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANA8c9waxapVN
"When someone asks me about a disciplinarian, this is the answer."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAlf0nfcD2I2
He looked at me awkwardly and opened his mouth with difficulty.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAHDkNtnypAA
"Stop worrying about other people's business Baekwon, you idiot.....That is it."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAZXccDXidiX
I turned my back, trying to swallow the curse words in my heart that were about to burst out.
35Please respect copyright.PENANA31JUufYzHJ
Okay, I admit. He really is much more of a pain in the ass than me.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAP356kAHDQV
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANATxrysQtGfX
[Come here now.]
35Please respect copyright.PENANAg119BFGZnD
The sender was [Madman].

35Please respect copyright.PENANAvylbOQREqj
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAEfgXdWIXIQ
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAMofuTAji4u
Then, a muscular man in a black suit next to the entrance stood up to stop me.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAyQbFgZ2CtW
"You can't go this way."
35Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZX6vLUDzw
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAY3bakjsUfK
"This is a membership club, if you are not a member you cannot enter."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAcIyVsdQbTh
"What if I am a member?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAubOu45hlW0
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAlkGNm3guJf
"Are you a member?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANArJqlIcUQYC
"No."
35Please respect copyright.PENANALdjmzNmZnG
Looking at his contorted face, I pointed down.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAnkNvmVeXYk
“But, the person waiting down there is a member."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAPaSsD9luYZ
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAsmuiuaCMjJ
"What is the name of your companion?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAlNYgNIOun1
"That...."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAlBzJlsCpuf
"Could you tell me the name of your companion?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAnY0HchejUB
"!"
35Please respect copyright.PENANA0J6nz4PHvX
"You have to give me the name so I can check..."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAD9BRadKIoX
"Let's see if anyone looks like a madman in there."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAQPxFF5E8Ni
"Huh?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANASfp2kXmr5z
He raised his voice and grimaced.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAlunagVFx0S
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANA4YbUH9FDB5
"Is it Mr. Lee Taemin?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANA574yUL5kQ1
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAAsFZgxzTU1
"Ah yes, Lee Taemin is just a stage name, and the real name is Lee Baekwon. If it's you, then please...."
35Please respect copyright.PENANA2UvbbkiBrH
When I looked over, I saw the security guard standing....I blushed in surprise at that so-called ‘’'real name of mine”.
35Please respect copyright.PENANArT0QWJ0jTa
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANASUSfeZvK3w
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAYBIIHAGcf2
"This way."
35Please respect copyright.PENANALA90hmyOs9
Just as I stopped and looked around, he called out softly and led me into the leftmost aisle.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAzeYJiLQJEl
"It's easy for first timers to get lost, so please follow closely behind me."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAiOYjBncnwN
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAvZmQ0bYSmJ
"Can you wait here for a moment?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAP0GWseKZZf
Entering the small room with furniture that looked like a normal apartment, I asked him to close the door.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAG6pRiDSrq5
"How long?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANApLe5rLhPwJ
He was about to close the door when he stopped and replied with a smile.
35Please respect copyright.PENANA9rprswKEbn
"It won't take more than 30 minutes."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAXyNBZBcr4B
Click.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAFLPRdSRHli
After the door closed, I looked around the quiet room, sat down at the end of the long sofa and checked the time.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAMGEtdjA9kQ
...9 hours and 29 minutes...
35Please respect copyright.PENANAsYwn0S1rMf
"Come quickly...."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAUYzuMYjub3
I was mumbling when suddenly the door opened and someone walked in.
35Please respect copyright.PENANA93kBSw8hay
"Hello sir."
35Please respect copyright.PENANA6WQYg7xznA
A beautiful girl approached and greeted me.
35Please respect copyright.PENANA3tmbPqow5H
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANA7tohKiC98M
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAZoX03ksraQ
"In the meantime, let's chat for a while."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAJvGO8zeUsb
"No need."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAFzGrfjCHG7
"Ah, don't you like to be disturbed? Well then...."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAouf0cLAFVL
"I don't need to."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAyVTRRjKznE
Staring at the girl. I coldly spat out.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAtOMuPHbNZE
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANA4gXhlVHHDV
"Get out of here."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAtHtE4rIkE4
I pointed at the drink and asked in a low voice.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAAUtFpqlB32
The girl stopped breathing for a moment,and looked at me and realized it was true, and reluctantly put on a smile.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAxZ1vsLenw5
"Aren't you satisfied with me? Or should I go for another drink?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANA0tmibvDSqg
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAFqUnCdemgl
"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."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAXooxNmemj6
The voice is as sweet as the song of a bird...I would be grateful if I could drink expensive wine for free, but….
35Please respect copyright.PENANAURmDxIdblR
"I don't drink...So take it away."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAt0VsPjQrf4
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAAMxb9hamUA
"Looks like you're not happy with me . I'll call someone else over."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAlfyICrImrq
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAfa8YFOE3Hr
"Woah….You are so lovely...."
35Please respect copyright.PENANATIgOPwMKF3
"Get out...."
35Please respect copyright.PENANABkcOjO1oyA
I said, somehow I had an uneasy feeling that these words would have to keep coming out of my mouth.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAIArwlz7Z8n
9 hours and 59 minutes...
35Please respect copyright.PENANAWwiEVE2Yhb
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAzpTnDGb73R
"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long. I have come to pick you up."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAQaSgA1nQEw
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAOY1u5PdSg1
Turn right, turn left, then turn right again.
35Please respect copyright.PENANABA1mJFvyrS
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAp32BdaJjCz
She becomes huge and can also shrink, and a rabbit appears…
35Please respect copyright.PENANAN4VFg66OTr
"Do you want to go inside?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANA4YUmiyHlz5
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANA1odVcRzqYC
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.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAT3g8guPbgR
"Mr. Lee Baekwon?"

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."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAYWn9c3ZJ4a
"…."
35Please respect copyright.PENANAvTS4nkIBS4
"Is there anything uncomfortable about Mr. Lee Baekwon?"
35Please respect copyright.PENANAK9P34qmbC4
"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?"

I tried to ask, he was a bit confused but immediately replied with a smile.
35Please respect copyright.PENANAyznGhxOaHp
"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.
