A week after the second exam.

The association employee who answered the call scratched his head and got up.

“If you want to appeal, do it on the same day. What the hell is going on after a week?”

The grumbling employee went to the supervisor.

asked the supervisor, who was smoking heavily in the smoking room.

“What’s up?”

“There is an appeal.”

“Appeal?”

The supervisor furrowed his eyebrows.

“If you want to appeal, do it on the same day. What the hell is going on after a week?”

“Is that right?”

The staff worked hard.

That’s what the test was. As time passed, it became more difficult to correct. In addition, on the same day, scores and rankings were all issued.

The supervisor asked, scratching his head.

“So, who are you?”

“I’m going to be part of the Taesan Guild.”

“Taesan? Are you planning on me?”

it’s a big company It was the name of a prospect that the association was trying to promote.

He took a deep breath and sprinted out the smoking room door. He sat down at his computer desk and tapped the keyboard.

“For what reason are you appealing?”

“He said that Han Yoo-jeong intentionally interfered with the exam in order to drop him.”

“What?”

The supervisor checked the monitor. They were on the same team.

“how?”

“They said they shed monsters on purpose until the 9th wave… .”

“flaw.”

The supervisor smirked.

“So, you opened the door without blocking until the 9th wave to deliberately drop Na-jeong? As soon as I was eliminated, did I get a high score?”

“Uh, yes.”

“why?”

“yes?”

“There must be no reason. Why did you do that?”

“The manager said what he was doing, but I didn’t know what he was saying because of the sound of crying.”

The supervisor folded his arms and reclined the chair.

A scale is pictured in my mind. One is Na-Jeong and the other is Han Yu-Jeong.

The scales swung toward Han Yoo-jeong without a second thought.

“don’t do it.”

“What?”

“Don’t fix it.”

“Still, all the records remain, but I received an objection, so I can’t confirm the video… … .”

“It’s not like that. Even if there is a problem, we have to say we are not. Don’t bother checking it, and send me a reply saying I can’t do it by tomorrow.”

asked the staff, who was rolling his eyes.

“yes? why?”

“Why, man! Don’t you know that the association and Bastard have a bad relationship? You’ve already overturned it twice over there!”

“Then, isn’t that an opportunity?”

The supervisor wiped his face at the confident question of the employee.

“Who doesn’t know that Bastard and the association have a bad relationship?”

“No.”

“Yeah, isn’t it? The news is still talking about Lee Ji-ah being retaliated by the association. But how do you think Han Yoo-jung will look if she suddenly fails the exam?”

“ah.”

After listening to the supervisor, it was

According to Na-Jeong’s words, Han Yoo-Jeong’s original behavior was not a big problem even with sanctions. The problem is that it just belongs to Bastard.

It’s something that’s never happened before. Deliberately disturbing an ally in an attempt to dislodge someone from the test.

As it was the first punishment without standards, he could not be free from the question of whether personal feelings were excluded.

Because it wasn’t clearly stated in the rules.

The relationship between Bastard and the Association. The situation of the association. an action without precedent.

The three were cleverly intertwined.

No matter how you deal with it, words are bound to come out.

“If I had filed an appeal on the same day, I wouldn’t have done it. Putting it in after a week makes the picture even weirder. How do we do this?”

“then… .”

“You told me.”

said the supervisor angrily.

“Leave it. We can’t touch Han Yoo-jung in this exam.”

“All right.”

The staff, who nodded and bowed their heads, returned to their seats. The supervisor shrugged his chin and stared intently at Han Yoo-jung’s name.

From the first time I saw Han Yoo-jung, there was an image that came to mind.

cool blade. hidden dagger. twisted snake.

‘It didn’t look like a work style without measures.’

Actions and impressions are so inconsistent.

That’s not to say I predicted all of this.

Is that possible for a 17-year-old girl?

Reading the political situation of the association and the guild to which you belong, and predicting the outcome of this?

The supervisor snorted a little.

I pressed the button on the first floor and leaned my back against the elevator wall. As I waited, whistling, my fingers got caught between the cracks in the door.

The door opens again and a familiar face enters. Song was the leader.

He raises his eyebrows and asks.

“Kim Hyun-woo? What’s going on here?”

“The CEO sent me the address to visit the office. It was the way to go after looking around for a while.”

“ah.”

Bastard has finally opened an office building. It is a building used by other guilds. It is now ruined and gone.

A 7-story building in Itaewon. It is said that he rented out all the office supplies he had previously used on condition that he purchased them. So, everything the guild needs is provided.

The source of the funds, of course, is Lee Ji-ah and the bank.

In my opinion, without Lee Ji-ah, this guild would not have even started.

“What’s going on, Manager Song?”

“Do you know that I am only a business card leader like you? They are busy setting up a management team and filling the guild with insufficient manpower.”

At first glance, he looked tired. If you see a black hole, the cheeks are dented and the area under the eyes is hollow.

but.

Han Ye-rim came from the United States and then came to Korea, so few people know about it. I am a new manager Team leader Song was the only person with a strong reputation in the industry.

“So, where are you going when you are so busy?”

“To buy coffee. Without caffeine, I would collapse and die.”

ding!

The door opened. We walked outside and continued the conversation. Team leader Song asks in a desperate voice.

“Are there any talented and decent people around you?”

“For example?”

“anyone. The PR team, operation team, and planning team are all empty.”

“Are you hiring?”

“We are also running open positions, but it’s not enough. I’m thinking of taking the position of team leader. Damn it, why is the management manager doing this?”

Jo’s face comes to mind. When I worked directly, the yangban was also good at it. When I saw illegal lobbying, I saw a lot of reporters I knew.

I think it would be good because of the nature of the PR team’s job, where reporters are important.

ah, done What about a person who is doing his job well?

“I do not know. Let me think about it.”

Team leader Song sighs with a look like that. It is the face of what I expect from the new manager.

A fork in the road emerged.

“I’ll just go in.”

I nodded, bowed my head and was about to walk to the left, but Team Leader Song suddenly called me.

“Kim Hyun-woo and Han Yoo-jung said that the rankings of the second exam went down.”

“yes. Do you know?”

“He is the most promising prospect in the company, of course I know.”

He scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

“Yeah, what… .”

“What are you talking about with the same team leaders, but I just listened to the advice of a senior manager. It’s not that I’m already politicizing to overpower the preemption.”

“tell.”

“If you think about your future career, you will have to take good care of Han Yoo-jung.”

Team leader Song put a cigarette in his mouth.

“You are not even a manager. I am the team leader in charge of one management team.”

right. He was nominally a team leader, but first of all, he was a team leader.

“There is only one person in charge of Han Yu-jeong, but if I can’t manage even that, I’ll go back later and it’ll be a little difficult for me. After all, the company is a performance.”

shed a laugh Team leader Song frowned.

“What is funny?”

“It’s amazing.”

Attorney Park seemed to understand.

There are no permanent enemies and no permanent allies.

In the end, did it mean that if you change your position, your enemies and allies will also change?

Team Leader Song said bluntly.

“Don’t be shy. Can you tell me you’re pretty? If you let go of the team leader, Han Yoo-jung will join our team.”

Speaking of speaking The tingling feeling goes away.

“I know.”

“What?”

“If Yoo-jeong doesn’t win first place, I’ll be in trouble later.”

Han Yoo-jung’s ranking dropped sharply.

It became difficult to usurp 1st place unless you achieved a fairly overwhelming result in the 3rd test.

Later, when Han Yoo-jung builds up a track record and becomes famous, the words will definitely come out. How the hell did you get such a test score with a hunter like this?

A twenty-six, inexperienced young team leader.

It was clear that the arrow would return to me.

“Then why is your face so carefree? Like someone else’s story.”

“Just what… When I was cursed, I was cursed.

“Crazy bastard. If you do that, you won’t last long. The hard road opens from the moment personal feelings enter the workplace.”

Team leader Song’s nagging slurred through one ear moderately.

*

I got out of the car and checked my phone. I searched for Han Yoo-jung’s name, familiarly. Additional keywords are the second Lee Ji-ah and a promising youngster.

The articles I was looking for came to mind.

He frowned and turned it off.

I have to tell Han Yoo-jung not to use the internet for the time being.

When I enter the house, all the lights are off. It doesn’t even feel popular.

“Yoo-jung?”

Where’s the kid? When I went out and came in, I noticed like a ghost and came out to meet me. He knocked on Han Yoo-jung’s door, but there was no response.

did you go outside

But then, from somewhere, a sound of scraping iron was heard. followed the sound. It led to the underground training ground.

squeak squeak!

When I opened the door and entered, Yujeong Han was pulling a rowing machine. Why, the thing that rowers pull on the line when they train?

However, as it is a training equipment for hunters, the weight can be increased by several tens of tons.

His puffy workout clothes were soaked wet. Every time I pulled the rowing machine, long drops of sweat splattered to the floor.

He’s a very sensitive kid to pretending to be popular around him, but he doesn’t even know how focused he is. I crossed my arms and watched.

squeak squeak!

It took a while for the harsh rustling to stop. After the workout, Han Yoo-jung was lying on the floor. Breathe out harshly.

“it’s over?”

He opened his eyes slightly at my question and then closed it again. Hey, I guess it’s hard to see that you can’t even pretend to know.

When he opens the cap of the water bottle and hands it over, he pours it over his head and drinks the rest of the water.

It’s like a wet mouse, like it’s been hit by a shower. I brought a neatly folded towel from the display case. As I brush my hair, I quietly bow my head.

Han Yoo-jung, who took a deep breath, asked.

“What are you doing at the training ground?”

“I couldn’t find it, so I came here looking for it. What are you training for?”

Usually, he seems to be busy playing games when he has time.

It was the first time I saw Han Yoo-jung sweating at the training ground.

“I’ve been thinking a lot these days.”

“What do you think?”

“just… .”

A hoarse voice speaks with certainty.

“I think I have to protect mine.”

“You?”

“Yes, it is mine.”

“Why are you training that you haven’t done before?”

Red eyes are visible through the shade hidden by the towel. Suddenly our eyes met. Han Yoo-jeong looked up at me without saying a word. Is it because of the height difference? Han Yoo-jung’s light breath tickles the tip of her chin.

5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds… How long has it been? I feel like it’s been about a minute. I can’t really get a sense of how much has passed.

Anyway, no matter how many seconds it was, it was a very unnatural silence.

And I don’t know if I’m mistaken, but it seems that Han Yoo-jung’s face is a little closer than before.

A strange, sticky air swirls around.

Cold sweat trickled down his back. He jumped up from his seat and said.

“Oh, look at the time. I have to prepare dinner.”

He hurriedly wiped the dust off his pants and moved on. He asked as he grabbed the doorknob.

“Yoojung, do you have anything you want to eat for dinner?”

“I want to manage it until the exam. I’m sorry.”

“No, I’m sorry I interrupted your training. suffer.”

“yes.”

bang!

He closed the door and immediately leaned his back against the wall. If I don’t, I feel like my legs are going to lose strength and fall down like a paper doll.

“f*ck.”

He moaned harshly and wiped his face. Tongue is dry

… Isn’t it?

He slapped his cheeks with both hands. I shoved the imagination running through my mouth into my throat.

Calm down, Kim Hyun-woo, you bastard.

Rubbing his sore chin, he went up the stairs.
