1. A special encounter
“Jihoon, I have a meeting. Do you want to go around the company?”
“What about Bu Seok-sun?”
"All three of them are on business trips. Choi Seung-cheol is currently preparing a project under his name, so he'll be very busy."
“Um.. Okay!”
“Okay, so be careful of transformations, be careful of people, be careful of women, okay?”
" huh! "
So Ji-Hoon left the CEO's office, and soon after, his meeting partner came in.
“Oh, welcome.”
“You know I’m entrusting you with this because I’m CEO Kim, right?”
"Yes. I know. I will make this project a success."
“Then shall we start the meeting?”
Jihoon's point of view -
“Hmm.. Should I go to the company cafe?”
I left the CEO's office and thought about where to go, but there was nowhere to go. I decided to stay at the company cafe, and as I was heading to the cash register to order cookies and a latte with the card Yeoju had given me,
Thump -
“Ugh.. “
“Ah.. I’m sorry. Are you okay?”
“Excuse me..!! You have to look straight ahead.. ”
“I’m really sorry.. Please wipe it with this.”
I handed her my handkerchief and she took it and wiped her blouse with it.
“Uh..oh yeah”
“Uh.. if you need compensation, please come to the representative office on the top floor.”
“Are you the representative?”
“I’m not the representative.”
“Ah.. Okay, I understand.”
" then.. "
Tak -
I thought today might not be the day, so I was about to leave, but he grabbed my suit in a hurry and said.
" excuse me.. "
" yes? "
“If you go to the CEO’s office, give me your number instead of money.”
“Oh.. I don’t have a cell phone.. “
“Huh.. how come you don’t have a cell phone?”
" yes.. "
A cell phone..? The female protagonist never gave me anything like that..? I'm going to say the number.
“Huh.. I get it!”
" yes. "
I continued to look around the company and when I thought it was about time, I went up to the CEO's office, where Yeoju greeted me with a bright face.
Squeak -
" good job? "
"Yeah. I think this will work out."
“Ah.. but I bumped into someone at the company cafe earlier and coffee spilled on their blouse.. I apologized and told them to come here if they needed compensation...”
“Good job. It’s compensation.. Just give me whatever I want.”
“But what is a cell phone?”
"A cell phone? Oh, you mean this one?"
“ .. That person asked me earlier if I would give him my number if I came here.”
“So? What did you do?”
“I don’t have a cell phone or anything.”
“Well, that’s true.. well done.”
at that time -
Squeak -
“Excuse me… Representative Kim?”
“Huh? What’s going on..?”
“My daughter said she had some business here...”
“Ah, please come in.”
“But.. that person.. “
“Ah.. he’s my coworker.”
“Hello. My name is Lee Ji-hoon.”
“Oh, nice to meet you. Jiye, what are you doing? I said I have something to do.”
Then someone came into the office and I couldn't help but be surprised. No...
“Do you know who I am?”
“Just now..coffee”
“That’s right. I came to collect compensation.”
“Ah.. the person who spilled coffee earlier.. “
"Yes. It's me."
“..Is there anything you want? We’ll give you everything we can.”
“I would like to get that coworker’s phone number.”
“ ..? “
“Oh my… I guess my daughter likes it.”
Judging by the look on Yeoju's face, it didn't seem like a particularly good story. Unless she was asking for my number because of compensation...
Then the female protagonist opened her mouth.
"We don't exchange people as compensation. Is there anything else?"
“Even if it’s not compensation, I was going to cancel this project if you didn’t give me that person’s phone number.”
“ ...!! “
Yeoju's point of view -
"Then cancel. I don't give or receive people."
“Well.. okay”
“Please be aware that if this project is canceled, it won’t just be our company that will suffer.”
Even if I give you the company, I can never give you Lee Ji-hoon. And why, of all the men, Lee Ji-hoon? Why?
“CEO Kim, do you like that guy?”
“Yes, I like it.”
I don't know, it's a do or die situation. Let's see who wins, okay?
“So you have a crush on me?”
“Ah..n”
“No. We are actually dating.”
“ ..?!! “
No, this guy is more expensive than me..? What the heck, you can never have Lee Ji-hoon.
“Huh.. This is really crazy?”
“Right? But I think it’s better than trying to steal my boyfriend.”
“Wh..what?”
“No matter who is in the upper hand and I am in the lower hand, no one can bully me. Haha. Cancel this. Lee Ji-hoon will never give in.”
"Uh... I'm busy today, so I'll go. But I'll definitely get paid. Mom, let's go."
“Huh? “
“Ah, let’s go!!”
“Uh.. uh, then that CEO Kim”
“Yes, have a nice day.”
Bang -
“Ha.. I survived.”
“That’s right… Why did it have to be that person…”
“Even if I sell the company to him, you will never give in.”
“I also don’t like being with anyone other than Yeoju.”
“Huh.. Really?”
" huh! "
Even though my boyfriend is so coolI'm tired... Why did I have to bump into Lee Ji-hoon out of all the male employees?
2. Operation Name: Everyone Come Back Alive
“Huh? Mr. Ji-Hoon, what about you?”
“Oh, I’m in the secretary’s seat. The secretary is sick and will be out of the office for a while, so I told her to come learn some things and show off her skills.”
“But why directly.. “
"How can I give it to you when I don't even know the faces of my employees yet? I came here myself to observe the work environment and get a feel for it."
“Huh.. How long should I wait to deliver this?”
“Uh… Please give it to me by tomorrow.”
" All right! "
Just then, my phone vibrated, and when I pulled it out, I saw a call from an unknown number. "Oh dear, now I get anxious every time something like this happens."
" hello. "
“CEO Kim?”
“Ah.. is this your daughter?”
“Yes. Do you remember?”
“Yes. You were so impressive, but why did you suddenly call me?”
“Do you know where Lee Ji-hoon is right now?”
“..Why should I tell you that?”
“Are you unable to assess the situation?”
“ ..? “
“Lee Ji-hoon is with me right now.”
“What does that mean?”
“I have to get what I want, no matter what.”
“You know kidnapping is a crime, right?”
“I don’t know who is threatening whom right now.”
“..what do you want?”
"I already have what I want, and this is the last time I'm calling. Thank you."
“ ... “
Thump -
“Oh really...”
“What? Why are you sighing?”
“Call Choi Seung-cheol, Bu Seok-soon, and the Vice President and come to the CEO’s office. There’s something you need to do.”
“Okay.. Okay.”
After saying that, I went up to the CEO's office. Oh my, why is Lee Ji-hoon so charming? Why does he have to stand out to me?
When I went up to the CEO's office, the secretary's desk was a mess. She must have been struggling to stay out of it, and that's how it ended up.
After a while -
“Why did you call me?”
" that's right. "
“Okay… Anyone who wants to get out of here needs to get out now. Lee Ji-hoon has been kidnapped.”
“Huh?! Jihoon?
“Really? Wow...”
“But?”
“Last time I saw you, you didn’t seem like you were about to get kidnapped.”
“Keep quiet, I’m not in the mood to joke around.”
“Tch.. You always say things to me.”
“Anyway, the person who kidnapped him said that he took Lee Ji-hoon because he liked him so much.”
“Isn’t that obsession or something? But still, would you take someone who has a girlfriend?”
"Anyway, what you have to do is bring Lee Ji-hoon out. If you don't like him, you can leave."
“But the vice president...”
“I just put it in. But have you all ever handled a gun?”
"Let's try everything. Can't special forces handle something like that?"
The reason I didn't fire Boo Seok-soon no matter how many accidents she caused was because they were former special forces agents. I hired them to be my bodyguards in case I ever got into trouble, but this is what they did. Oh, by the way, Choi Seung-cheol introduced me to them. That's why the story of Boo Seok-soon's parachute was circulating for a while.
"I'll take responsibility for the cleanup, no matter who you kill there. Just bring Lee Ji-hoon out. Keep that woman alive. They'll probably use guns and people, too."
“Are you really shooting guns like in the movies?”
"Uh. Choi Seung-cheol is the field commander, and just in case, I'd like Sun-young to be the deputy commander. Can you all do that?"
“Well… let’s try.”
“Those who want to leave can leave.”
“No. I have been there for a while and I trust you, sir.”
“Then… are you doing everything?”
" yes. "
"You can't make a mistake. The mission is tomorrow. I'll send you the time and location on your personal cell phone."
" yes! "
“..Everyone must come back alive and healthy.”
" yes! "
Thank goodness... I chose one person well...
The next day -
“Is everyone here? Lee Ji-hoon is in the warehouse you see over there.”
" yes! "
“Then everyone... must come back alive.”
" yes. "
So our operation began and we prayed for our survival.
3. I can't even handle it
Author's point of view -
Seungcheol and four others moved cautiously around the warehouse, and then
“No, the more you resist like this, the more I can’t leave you alone, right?”
“..what is that”
Inside the warehouse, Ji-hoon was there, along with his daughter. Seung-cheol cautiously approached, and their conversation became clearer.
“Is this how you treat someone you like?”
“Yes. I get angry when the person I like doesn’t listen to me.”
“Do you know this is an obsession?”
"Obsessed? Well, if that's the case, then so be it. But for me, getting what I want is more important than being called obsessed."
at that time -
Sagrak -
“ ..!! “
“Who’s there?!!”
“Ha.. I can’t help it since I got caught.”
Seung-kwan accidentally stepped on a dry fallen leaf on the floor, making a noise and getting caught.
“
“You messed with someone who shouldn’t be messed with for a long time.”
“What? Can’t you see what this person is wearing?”
“..Do you know what’s on that bomb vest?”
“It looks like a normal bomb vest... If I press the switch that the woman is holding, it will explode immediately.”
“There is no answer..”
“But isn’t it a little strange? I’m sure there were a few more people there, but why is there only one man?”
“.. First of all, be careful, you”
“You?! Huh.. Who are you talking to right now..!!”
Tak -
“If you take one more step, I’ll shoot you. I don’t care if that person dies.”
"What? Then just blow it up. Honestly, I'm completely lost interest now. But now I want to see Kim Yeo-ju kick her butt."
“There is no answer..”
“But what makes you so confident? Did you really think I’d bring only one real person?”
At that time, people came out one by one from the surroundings, and they all had guns.
“Hey, you said that Kim Yeo-ju would take care of the aftermath, right?”
“Oh, the representative said he would do it.. “
“Then I’ll let go and give it a try.”
" yes? "
Tang -
After that gunshot, a hand-to-hand fight broke out in the warehouse.
“Wow.. this is pretty hard”
“Chief Choi! 3 o’clock!!”
“ ..?! “
Tang -
“Ugh..!!”
“Chief Choi!!”
“Ha.. I really told you not to kill that woman.”
“Ugh..let go of this!!!!”
“Min-gyu..?”
“Just stay still for a moment. Seriously, I have a gun too.”
“You..!! Really.. “
“You? I’m older than you.”
“What should I do..ㄱ”
“Seungcheol, you can support Bu-ga and I’ll hold this one, so Seok-soon, what do you want to do about Ji-hoon?”
“Ah.. yes!”
Yeoju's point of view -
Tiring -
" hello? "
“It was a successful completion, but Seungcheol is currently undergoing surgery at the hospital! He was shot.”
“Ah, I see! I’ll be there soon.”
I quickly went down to the parking lot, got in my car, and went to the hospital where Choi Seung-cheol was.
“Huh.. what happened?”
“Fortunately, the surgery went well and he said he can rest comfortably.”
“What about Jihoon?”
“It’s in the room next door.”
“Oh.. Thank you. What happened to that girl?”
“Maybe he’s fighting with the vice president in the ward next door?”
“Ha.. Thank you so much. Bu Seok-soon.”
" no. "
After seeing Choi Seung-cheol's condition, I went to the next room.
“Hey, sister. Are you here?”
“Put this down!!!”
“What should I do with this kid?”
“I’ll send him back. It’s not worth dealing with or having time for.”
" okay! "
After Kim Min-gyu left -
“Yeoju.. “
“..How is your body? Does anything hurt?”
“No. Not really.”
“.. Jihoon”
" why? "
“I can’t raise you anymore.”
“What does that mean..?”
“I guess I’m not strong enough to handle you.”
“ ... “
I've been thinking about this since my father's time, but I always tried to brush it off, telling myself not to think negative thoughts. But this incident has made it clear to me. I can't handle it anymore.
“If money can solve it, I can do it to the end.”
“ ... “
"I can't do it in my heart. I'm sorry, Jihoon."
“Yeoju.. why are you like that?”
“I did everything to the end, but then I was abandoned, and then I got back up again… This is a bit… very difficult haha”
“ ... “
“I’ll tell Min-gyu, so go to the new house. I’ll send all your stuff to you. If you need money, just tell Kim Min-gyu.”
“ ... “
“Stay healthy.. I’ll go now.”
" don't go. "
" .. hi "
I left the hospital room and leaned against the door. Then I cried. I knew I couldn't handle it, but I wanted to hold on, so I pretended not to know, and I wanted to hold on until the end.
