Captivated (11) Revenge
The conversation was definitely more enjoyable than in the morning. Since Jeong-guk, a police officer, didn't have many people around him who knew about the world of research, he seemed especially happy to see me, who had research experience. Over dinner, Jeong-guk told me about various episodes from his master's days, and as I was working in a research lab, I agreed and listened to what he had to say, saying that there are always guys like that in labs wherever I go.Dude... you were quite the loser when you were a master's student, lol
"Anyway, Jeongguk, you have no plans to return to research now, right??
I think your personality suits a field job."
At my words, Jeongguk nodded immediately.
"Yeah, it's cool here, what if something happens?
You have to act right away and not sit still..
For me, it's a place where I can move my body.
"I can't even remember what was going on in the lab back then."
"Yeah lol it's okay to break something here okay?
There is a team leader who says yes, no, even if there is an accident...
Right, Detective Jeon Jeong-guk?"
"Miss... that keeps crying"
When Jungkook looked embarrassed, I felt satisfied and happy.
"I'm going to cry every time I see you.
"It hasn't even been that many years since I decided to become a spy, and I thought I'd be caught and killed like this without doing much."
"That's what I mean, why on earth do you work as a spy?
You know that's dangerous, right?
"If it were me, you would have been in real danger."
Jeongguk's gaze was quite serious.. What is this guy?...Are you giving any sincere advice to a woman you've only known for two or three days...?
"Now that it's come to this, I'll just wash my hands and come out, saying I can't do it.."
"Huh?? No, why?"
That's funny... What? You want me to shake your hand??
"Being a spy is dangerous... If your identity isn't verified, you're just a criminal.
If he had been caught by another local police officer, would the chief have been able to vouch for him?"We might ignore you if things go wrong. The police aren't that fair."
"Hahaha, right? I can tell the police are not fair just by looking at you."
I responded nonchalantly.
"No, I'm not joking, I'm really serious.
That's too dangerous. Have you never been to a real scene before?
That whole corpse rolling around thing is absolutely disgusting...
If you go too, you'll probably start to hate Suin..?"
"..."
I simply stared silently at Jeongguk's words, offering no response. Honestly, I felt a sense of disgust...The day my parents were murdered...
"What...is that something I should worry about?
Chief, did you find any weakness?
Of course, I don't think he'd be the type to exploit weaknesses.
Did you have such a hobby?"
I sighed deeply and placed my hand on Jeongguk's. I felt him shift slightly at the touch of my hand.
"It's good advice, but I already have aversion to Suin.
I've already dipped my toes in so deep that getting out isn't that easy...
And also I want to break this match between these kids.
It's really annoying.."
My heart pounded a little as memories of my difficult past flashed through my mind. I felt like I was telling a lot of stories to someone I had only known for a few days.
"Is that something worth risking your life for?
The playfulness in Jeon Jungkook's eyes disappeared. Hey, he's really serious... Yeah, I have to be precise about this part...
"Hey... Jeon Jungkook.
You were totally excited when I asked if my parents had been bitten by a badger, right?
Actually, I was like that too. I was like that too.
"There's no way that the victims of badgers aren't necessarily badgers, right?"
I think my voice trembled slightly without me realizing it. I looked straight into Jeon Jungkook's eyes.
""Yes, I want to take revenge even if it means risking my life."
After speaking, I noticed Jeongguk's face, which seemed somewhat flustered. Not wanting to be serious, I quickly furrowed my eyebrows and smiled.
"Okay. Anyway, thanks for the sincere advice?
I will only accept sincerity... Everyone has unavoidable circumstances.
"It's like you hate all badgers."
I pretended to be cool and emptied the remaining beer can into my mouth, then decided it was time to end the conversation.
"Oh, and I think today is the first day you didn't poison or poison me...? I guess I'll finally get some proper sleep today... haha.
"I'm going to wash up"
Jeongguk, who had been listening seriously, chuckled at my words.
...
As Haejoo disappeared into the bathroom, Jeongguk muttered softly.
""It's not like I hate all badgers..."
