Chapter 5: Keep the change
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4evmgEzHM1
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQnJmusmix
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvwX0pcAnL
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Nd0dVOYMo
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQtwF0Pkab
"Can I have a cigarette?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrSwa1Fi1D
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9lx3xtqaL
"I'm not asking for it for free. I just need one."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTzDhtzy8m
Plop.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHr34mGlTo
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoal31kqfk
"Wait a minute."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI22oPEwxZM
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddELoHvH85
Clink, clink. Drrr.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh05GdiJYXO
As I looked at the 200 won coin that rolled a little and then stopped, I added.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr4Xoz36Ux
"Keep the change."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9aDFl39CN
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnVVwZGKoa
"You miscalculated, idiot."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R5XENgfGJ
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7eIcV923m
"Are your ears blocked?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3u7NiLLFv
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaseg3N7zPn
"That's right. I miscalculated. That's why I told you to keep the change."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtyJRjQ6c3
The corners of his eyes curved even more. But I couldn't smile.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJVRSQrDtM
"Change? Ah, this."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd541Sjj7p
He stretched out his hand, showed me the 200 won, and added kindly.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkGjhuBdSq
"Sure. If you give me 200 million won, this would be the change."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnvAbVQJIX
200 million won for a half-smoked cigarette? Is that jerk trying to strike a fortune with a cigarette that was thrown away.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhWbOsGGhK
"Don't talk nonsense."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57t7H9eDkX
He replied coldly in a lazy tone.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBb7dlSLUP
"Should I tell you my one secret? I don't make jokes."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP3cahEuFW
The words came out lightly like a joke, but there was a cold look in his non-smiling eyes.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjPrsjUAoK
"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."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nBjTlH0qm
I frowned and stared at him.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg6GE9KT7Y
"Who are you?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TTMkv4ybp
As if the question was unexpected, the smile vanished for a moment but the lips soon returned to their original curves.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLF0t9KToR
"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."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnQv4uSF7a
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC106TGsMVB
"You must be mistaken, I don't know how famous of an actor you are, but even 200 won is too much for me."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuVHrwtyQH
"....Actor?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDwFMQAVcB
"Or are you a singer?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjhDQR2Pky
"......."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu0d4W9EXQ
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam0FOiJ8dD
"Don't you belong to this agency?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaaDbCV5TI
"No….Not yet."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQF8LWnC1m
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhYXlYFhGs
"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."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1XNc6k6WT
What interview? Anyway, it was absurd to have to pay more than that.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbND6puKE9o
"That's funny."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRidj4nUH4
"I'm sad. I even told you the secret that I don't joke."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboMSfqK3oq
I frowned again at the languid voice. Then, I threw the half-burnt cigarette in front of him.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU0ngNIjwi
"Let's do a refund. Give me my money."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHMrpPITkM
But instead, he put the coin in his pocket and took another step closer.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZReqCGSZu
"Take it away from me. Then I'll give you a refund."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z6n3LhFxN
The bored voice came from that smiling face again.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzcoKCBCEQ
"Although I don't think you have the skills to do that."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUSwjjYnVl
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz9TN2Fmfg
"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."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVDVy7FTAG
Tsk. Clicking my tongue, I took a step back. Seeing my actions, the other party looked disappointed.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU4VcaTPaY
"You don't look like a coward….Ah, is it because you're afraid your face will get injured?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDtJ2GIIk1
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjSCb6cK6U
Pa!
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey4ho3Wsa4
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy1wNn6fpT
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYI9PuyJfR
Thud.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw935jKlH8m
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUbEEAuE8D
"Ugh."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8AAILUtnj
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4mCURZBfV
"You're quite good."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6gZayXVmI
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hRtzrJD7y
"Urgh...!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2MTZRefpe
I reflexively let out a pained cry and stared at him. I ran into a really annoying guy.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MSHpWGbdy
"I like those eyes."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO1QvhiRGt
Unlike the laziness in the tone, those cold eyes looked down at me.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB9z3j1K8f
"Who scouted you?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88rvDEbBoe
"......."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8CGS7g7ob
"Your name?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVGZDGM9jY
"......."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY76Fdqet8
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrA8kp5Nz1
"What's your purpose in approaching me?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfb04JE8si
I couldn't help but answer this question.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8218Tpg86v
"For cigarettes. Who knows who you are."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1jYeCvVHd
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH43Ocml297
"You really don't know me."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0H9fyWZj9
"I don't watch TV."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtEfvzS2pQ
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe32JcgHtme
"Take your hands off me."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DKqb4Q7vk
I muttered in annoyance, but he turned a deaf ear to my words and other words came out of his mouth.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfhDr1Me0S
"You are not the type to be a celebrity. Because there is no aspiring celebrity who doesn't even watch TV."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWONiivbZ9
"......."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOC05dSp32
"But you desperately covered your face to become a celebrity."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoOZucVDi4
The finger that was moving over my lips stopped. His expression disappeared, and he looked down at me with emotionless eyes.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PWdKy7Zw8
"You must have another reason?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD85yTKOIk
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuglnrpecK
"It's not because of you, so it doesn't matter."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1NZqAlUuo
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….
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTgX65Kyd7
Drrring.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9nptw1hyo
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtvQP5zm95
[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…]
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyC9IqbC3g
Clatter.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb6gdiERTC
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLTK74RxTv
"Try to pass the interview well. That way, you can get a discount from me."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMZtZaZDeS
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDK1IFbxgs
"Or I can help you instead of giving you a discount."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJXJLnzJDt
"What kind of help?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPEWuL83lQ
"Revenge. You're trying to be a celebrity because of that."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDYMVi5rEo
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5om3W8Nlmh
"I can be your sponsor."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62b6WBip6i
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21I32hyFev
"I don't need you."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFVtqyqCfu
"Since you didn't say that you don't want to, that means you're fine with men too."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN5Mmoi9qU
"......"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu1rbuyaW5
"And you said you don't need me. That means you need another sponsor. Who is it?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeN3Df8JK8
There was no reason to answer, so I turned around as I heard a slow voice.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sdY9VwYdX
"If you tell me, I'll cut the price of cigarettes in half."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuyVtz36gA
But the words that followed stopped me again. To be exact, it was a cold voice without laughter.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCOBXmwp6i
"Or you'll have to work like a dog all your life and pay back the money."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWX9MbBsp1
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmSYGncffU
"Why are you curious about that?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTVtB1sEmR
"Just because."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDA9MUOKA2
"......"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZswaqlrI0
"Don't worry. I'll keep the secret."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncBr2zq3Uk
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwasRrqb2T
"It's the Director Yoon of this company."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8CCUiO9on
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFCcUq0WGH
"Gasp! What's wrong with your face?!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDGL0XOLYq
".....Because of a madman."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwq1hRbN5X
The uncle mumbled trying to understand my statement, and his eyes grew bigger.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkHuL5oRo4
"Madman? In the company? At this late hour?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiaMW3jyyn
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmGyGzE9oX
"Are you going to sign a contract with me?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnJfsDmU22
"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."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc66sdCxy6
Then he started to scare me.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4GYuJxxX3
"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."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3BIz0IpP2
"I got it."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXeqQNApMr
"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?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbNpc6coF2
"Manager."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolsa12T9dh
When I called him, I looked at his eyes full of worries.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiERhhM8DP
"I'm not that naive or a nice person."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnpXkK26pb
"But, still....."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjYvzYqs0g
"I just need you to help me the way you usually do. I'll do the rest of the dirty and tough work."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhsZ8AVn2b
Looking at me still for a long time, he asked me quietly.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQccK4q3Ikv
"What on earth did Myeongshin do?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP94Wd7erZ
"......."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZDzc9pHq6
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZscfqqM4B1
"Similar to what happened to you, CEO."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q67kz5Gtj
I added as if it was nothing special.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPrlinb9VD
"Just paying back what I went through."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl77mwQWBV
Then I got up from my seat and pointed at the clock hanging on the wall.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBTsivDIul
"I want to go back to sleep, I have to go to work."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S86Mmbbae
The two of them also quickly got up from their seats.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LHPbP5WuX
"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."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtUFyfHNup
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx5xwSODfo
"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."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6S8mtGgNh
He nodded his head as he answered the phone with a bewildered look.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi0I3yzfXW
"I'll take him there tomorrow."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMuYKc1xsS
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQDmKOT2GN
"W-what to do? You have an interview tomorrow!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhELssE6x8
