Same face as usual. Same, but something different.

It was after Han Yoo-jung took a heavy step that the suffocating time began to flow again.

Tock, tock.

Han Yoo-jung, walking towards me, stretches out her arm and caresses my lips. Every time a soft finger touches the wound, it hurts.

“mister.”

Han Yoo-jeong asks in a soft voice.

“Are you okay?”

Obviously, as usual.

Why?

When I heard those words, the first thing that came to my mind was a volcano. It’s boiling and it’s like it’s about to explode at any moment.

“You must have been seriously injured.”

lips chapped a little. It wasn’t a very big wound. He raised the corners of his lips to Han Yoo-jung, who asked worriedly.

“it’s okay. I didn’t get stabbed anywhere I went, I was just hit in the face.”

Oh shit.

He frowned slightly as he spoke. It tastes like bloody blood. It looks like the inside of the ball has exploded. Crazy bastard, I was very determined and hit him.

“Are you sick?”

Han Yoo-jung furrows her eyebrows and looks around my body. Also check to see if your hand is scratched, and to make sure you didn’t bump into it when you fell.

After a while, I was freed from Han Yoo-jung’s hand.

“Why did you provoke me?”

“What?”

“It’s that person.”

Han Yoo-jeong refers to the manager who stands still like a scarecrow.

“You did it on purpose. Let me hit you.”

Without realizing it, I swallowed a laugh.

I’ve always thought about it, but it’s really quick.

“To intimidate.”

“yes?”

Han Yoo-jung’s hand that was caressing my lips stopped.

And ask in a cold voice.

“why?”

“Because the manager noticed that the reporter was me.”

Taesan is a large guild.

There will be a lot of encounters in the industry in the future, but I didn’t want to make enemies already.

He had already crossed an irreversible river with the head of the department, but it was a face he would not see in the future if this case was resolved well.

Lobby case broke out, where can I continue to work? It will be thrown out as soon as it is finished.

But it can come out as a way to die together. So I tried to fill the collar. He threatened me like I did to a reporter.

“I tried to intimidate you by securing a video that was shot. It will be a problem if I reveal that I am the accuser.”

“Is that why?”

Han Yoo-jeong’s rebuke lengthens her excuses.

“I just needed a sure way. When the manager who was photographed in the lobby hit me, it was different from normal assault.”

If the manager reveals my name as the accuser, I will immediately reveal the manager’s identity. Even videos taken nearby.

Reporter of corruption. And the criminal who turned his eyes and hit the reporter.

You will face all kinds of bullying. The fire will get hotter. To the extent that he couldn’t even afford a large guild, let alone a head of department manager.

If you threaten me with this content, the manager won’t even be able to drink until I die.

“mister.”

Han Yoo-jeong grabbed my face tightly and made eye contact.

And biting his lips, he said.

“Next time, don’t do that. There are other ways.”

“This is the most certain… … .”

“If you can’t do it, don’t do it.”

His throat tightened at the strongly pressured tone.

Why is he here?

Looking at her with a strange look, Han Yoo-jung avoids her gaze and turns away.

“And go to the emergency room with me.”

I burst into laughter without realizing it because it was ridiculous, and then I grimaced in pain and grabbed my lips.

“Okay, what emergency room are you going to take with this?”

how old are you

It’s not like a 7-year-old kid came in with a broken collarbone, and if I go to the emergency room for something like this at my age, I’m only ridiculed.

“Don’t worry, I’ll stop the diagnosis… … .”

“mister.”

“yes?”

“Just this one time, can you please listen to me?”

Han Yoo-jung pulls my collar.

I just got embarrassed and scratched the back of the head.

“Okay. I’m leaving, so let this go.”

“Really?”

“I’m going!”

I was relieved at that time, sighing at my promise and retreating.

And Han Yoo-jung looked at the manager, who was frozen in place. The eyes go down coldly.

Han Yoo-jeong slowly reached out and grabbed the manager’s fist.

The size of the hands of a large adult male and a 17-year-old girl was so different that with a little exaggeration, it could be doubled.

While watching the strange picture silently, something soared in my heart.

That kind of anxiety that I can’t leave it like this.

Without realizing it, I called Han Yoo-jeong.

“Yoojung, what are you doing… ?”

Han Yoo-jung turned her creaking neck. eyes meet Han Yoo-jung’s eyes widened. Like a child caught trying to do something wrong. The eyes filled with anxiety fade with regret.

It had passed in a very short time.

Han Yoo-jung, who had been biting her lip and worried, stepped back.

“Chief Song Min-cheol, right?”

It’s still calm and has a nice voice.

“If there is a problem… … .”

Han Yoo-jung did not speak behind the scenes.

Even though I was standing behind my back, I noticed that Han Yu-jeong’s jaw trembled slightly.

“Go away.”

“… … f*ck you, you bastards.”

At Han Yoo-jung’s order, the manager left the place as if running away.

it’s fast

Han Yoo-jung approached and held out her hand. Whoa, who is the guardian? I feel like I’m a child. I got up holding my hand and wiped the dust off my clothes. and asked.

“What did you say?”

“yes?”

Han Yoo-jung opens her innocent eyes and asks, pretending not to know.

he thinks i’m stupid

“Is that the electric sound or you blew it? I’ve seen him move his chin.”

Han Yoo-jung smiles awkwardly.

“I didn’t say anything. I just listened to what you said earlier.”

“okay?”

“yes.”

“But why didn’t you say it?”

“Because of the unknown recording… .”

“Why is that person recording? It’s about tying up your own leash.”

“Ah, anyway, it could be used for something bad.”

“So, for what?”

As we put our faces side by side and our eyes meet, Han Yoo-jeong slowly lowers her eyes.

“Uh, that’s it… .”

Then, as if to speak, he licked his lips for a while, then suddenly shouted.

“Blood, I’m tired, so I’ll take a break!”

In the end, Han Yoo-jung ran away into the shadows.

The Taesan Guild office was busy. The lobby of a large guild exploded, and calls from reporters ignited.

The PR team leader scratched his head roughly and looked for the manager.

“When did this bastard call and where the hell is he?!”

The man in the photo was obviously the Taesan Guild Manager. It was obscured by a mosaic, but it was so blurry that anyone in the know could see it.

I had to close the case.

The lobby of the large guilds rose to the surface, but it was only at the stage of suspicion.

But Taesan Guild is different.

The manager who was directly photographed was entangled. If you make a mistake, other large guilds could slip back and end up with only the Taesan Guild.

First, I had to quickly understand the before and after situation.

In particular, who the informant is.

I’ve already checked once with the reporter who first reported it, but he only said that he had received someone’s anonymous message.

The public relations team member who was answering the call covered the receiver and shouted loudly.

“The prospects Min-cheol brought along have arrived at the company!”

“Where are you?”

“The rest room over there!”

The PR team leader ran to the break room.

He asked the prospects who had been huddled together with a grim face.

“Hey, youngest ones! Where is Song Min-cheol now?”

“Uh, Mincheol hyung gave us the car key and told us to go back to the company first… … .”

“What? Then you don’t know where it is?”

“yes.”

I called again, but no answer. There were dozens of missed calls, but no news.

The PR team leader shrugged and muttered.

“Did this kid ever dive? ?”

no, please That would not be it.

He struggled to calm his anxious mind.

“Yeah, I’m a senior manager, so no matter how much I crash, I can’t dive… … .”

It was the same as just hitting.

Because it wasn’t something a single manager could handle. He called the operations manager.

-President of the PR team? What are you doing?

“Ask a few people. Find Director Song.”

-yes? Did Mincheol go diving?

“I don’t know yet, but I haven’t answered the phone right now… … .”

The head of the PR team was speechless. The manager was walking scrambled from the end of the hallway.

“No, it is. I’m back. I’ll talk to you for a moment and call you back.”

The public relations team leader who hung up the phone grabbed the manager by the neck.

“hey! this bastard! What time is it right now, so you’re walking outside?”

The PR team leader growled and pushed the manager to the wall. The manager was pushed out forcefully.

“… ?”

The head of the PR team, who made eye contact with the manager, looked at him curiously.

The eyes were terrified. Cold sweat ran down his chin and dripped to the floor. Her blue lips looked like a patient with food poisoning.

“What happened… … No, yes, it must be scary because it is an incident. But now that doesn’t matter. Have you seen this picture?”

The PR team leader took out a photo of the article from his pocket and handed it to him. The manager nodded slightly.

“You got your face taken. know? If caught, the company will be f*cked.”

“yes… I know.”

The manager answered in a hoarse voice. The PR team leader wiped his face and asked.

“I need to find the person who took the picture right now, or someone who knows the identity of this picture, but do you have any guesses?”

“I guess… … .”

The name ‘Kim Hyun-woo’ lingered in the manager’s mouth for a long time. The PR team leader scrambled.

“Yes, no? I’m busy, so tell me soon!”

And at the same time, a girl named Han Yoo-jung came to mind.

A voice was heard.

Cool, menacing, cool, decadent, as if he was about to stab a dagger in the throat at any moment.

[…] … … … … … … … .]

The manager, who had his lips trembling, struggled to open his mouth with a calm face.

“No… It is.”

“No? Have you thought about it?”

“Since it has been a common practice since ancient times, I think that what was built up and built up has now exploded. I just happened to be caught.”

The PR team leader shook his head and sighed deeply. Things got a bit daunting.

“No one can guess this, right? Okay. Stay at work for a while, and turn off all your phones. If you need anything outside, let the youngest ones do it.”

“Yes, I will be careful for the time being.”

The head of the PR team, who was about to leave with a short kick, suddenly found something strange and asked.

“by the way.”

“Yes?”

“Why are you holding your hand? Do you need a doctor?”

The manager checked his right arm.

His hand was swollen, possibly even a broken bone.

Memories of the past came back to me.

For a brief moment, the little girl who clenched her fists like they were about to crumble.

“After the incident, I was so upset that I hit the wall… I think it broke then. Please.”

“Okay. wait a minute I’ll call the Hunter Team Doctor.”

The PR manager has left.

The manager, who was left alone in the hallway, collapsed on the floor.

The chill felt in the back of his neck was very vivid.

*

I’m going crazy because I’m really shy.

The nurse in the emergency room looks at me like I’m crazy.

“So, sir.”

“yes.”

“Did you get hit by one?”

“… yes.”

“Where?”

“Here lips… .”

The nurse frowned. The other nurse, who was answering the business call from behind, burst into laughter as if she couldn’t stand it.

It seems like she’s trying to put up with my eyes, but her face heats up at the sound of leaking through her lips.

Han Yoo-jeong, who had been silently watching from the side, intervened.

“Nurse sister.”

“yes?”

“It’s an emergency. Please take a look at it properly.”

“No, what is an emergency patient… You said you just got hit by one?”

Han Yoo-jung grabs my face and brings it to the nurse. And he points to his lips as if to say.

“Look at the wound. I was next to him, and he was beaten very hard. What if I have a concussion?”

“You are walking just fine. You have to go to the hospital for a small wound like this and get tested.

“How is this a small wound?”

Druck!

Just at that moment, a patient who was being loaded onto a mobile bed screamed.

“aah!!”

Blood is dripping from his broken head. He screams while using his jaws, and it makes even me feel desperate to hear it.

Medical staff rushed out and took the patient. The nurse who was serving me crosses her arms and snorts.

“Did you see it? That’s what an emergency patient should be. People like that can’t get into the emergency room right away if they’re in front of them in turn.”

“Still, the nurse older sister–”

Yoojung-ah, please… … .

“Just in case you don’t know, just once with the doctor—”

Please stop… … .

He covered Han Yoo-jung’s mouth with his hand and bowed to the nurse.

“You must be very busy, I’m really sorry. I’ll go inside, so go to work.”

“Azashi!”

“Let’s go, Yoojung-ah.”

“I was sleeping and cheating!”

“Write, stop! If you keep using it, you will get angry.”

“Azashi… … .”

Holding Han Yoo-jung, who was struggling in my arms, I ran out of the emergency room.
