Captured (23) Spying
""You have no intention of participating in the hunt, correct?"
Park Jimin said with a cold smile. It was surprising that the executive had met me in person, and he was even suggesting I participate in the hunting festival.
"Ah.. It's been about a year since I last went to a regular meeting..
Jinsu said that it would be very difficult for him to participate in the hunting festival within two or three years.
"That's true, but...
I'm going to give special treatment to Mr. Haeju.
Should I say that I look qualified...?
I am giving this to you on my own authority."
No, why...? What qualifications do you have?Is Park Jimin looking at me? It was hard to tell what he was feeling from his expression.
"I don't think it's time yet.
I will just observe this hunting festival and participate next time.
I don't have any money right now and I'm a little scared to do it alone.
Since I've been working a sedentary job, I'm not used to using my body... So, I want to prepare in advance before participating in the hunting festival. I need to build up my stamina... Since I'm going to do it, I need to do it right."
I tried to refuse, but Park Jimin didn't seem to sense any regret or confusion. He didn't know the executive would be the first to ask to see me. He just politely declined, pretending to be a timid gentleman.
I decided to meet him in person to receive the medication. It was in an alley near a downtown area. Since I was supposed to pick it up the day before the hunting festival, I still had plenty of time.
"Then see you next time.. I'll get up first."
I greeted Park Jimin politely and stood up.
. . .
After Haejoo left, Jimin made a phone call to someone.
"I declined to participate in the hunting festival but accepted drug administration.
Is this the kid you were talking about?
I still don't know..?"
[Yeah, that's him. He... I did some research. It turned out to be really interesting..]
An unpleasant voice came over the receiver.
"Hey, you crazy guy.
I don't care what you're going to do.
"Do your best. I'll just watch from the side..."
After Jimin finished the call, he got into a black sedan that had arrived.
. . .
As the hunting season approached, I spied on Kim Nam-joon's personal study.
Since they produce drugs commissioned from outside, they are separated from the internal laboratories, so it was difficult to find out anything.
Jeong Ho-seok, with whom I'd recently become quite close, told me he knew a senior colleague who'd been with him, and when I expressed interest in his lab, he set me up on a blind date. Thinking it would be easier to ask him about various things, I readily agreed.If Jeon Jungkook finds out, he'll be in trouble, but who cares?
The name of the senior who came out while he was busyShin Ji-hoJiho had been grumbling recently, saying he was busy with a large order. And because of his constant overtime work, we hadn't seen each other outside the lab since our one or two meetings. We only occasionally saw each other in the cafeteria during lunch.Do they really make drugs for hunting here?The suspicion is growing stronger.
"So, you're producing the drugs to be used in hunting rituals there..."
Jeon Jungkook, whom I met at dawn, asked me this. I told him what I'd spied on him. Of course, I left out the blind date story...
"maybe..?
I don't even know what kind of drug it is or what it's used for.
Senior Jiho is in that lab, and he seems to be very busy these days.
We're not that close yet, so it's hard to ask him a lot of questions.
After asking around a bit, I was told that it was an externally commissioned medicine.
"I couldn't ask any more. It's still hard to know for sure.."
"By the way... So you're definitely going to the hunting festival this time, right?"
"Yeah... I guess I'm the middleman.
I'll go and get out as quickly as possible.
If that doesn't work...
How could there be a way..?"
"..."
It seemed like Jeon Jungkook didn't like me going to the scene this time.But what can I do... right?I'm just doing my job...
"I'm going. See you at the next point."
When I was about to leave, Jeon Jungkook grabbed my hand again and pulled me towards him.
"Haejoo, do you really have to go there?
Jeongguk hugs me as I am naturally drawn to him.
"Hey, don't do this... Jeon Jungkook..."
I instinctively pushed Jungkook away. Seriously... I'm going crazy because of him... I also didn't feel very good whenever I had to push him away.
"What... does that sound like a boss telling his employees not to work? Our Jeon Jungkook... you said you were in charge...
Shouldn't the person in charge just nag you to do your work?
Why do you keep telling me not to go...?
Let's keep our work separate, okay? "
When I pushed him away, my heart ached a little at the sight of Jungkook's expression, which seemed somehow hurt. My heart has been getting weaker lately... Please stop doing this..
side-
With a weakened heart, Jeongguk gave her a light kiss on the lips.
"That's all for today, I'm really going~"
I left Jungkook, whose face was red, and quickly got on my bike.
