"A new... life?"
He smiled faintly at Yeoju's question. Yeoju stared at Seokjin for a long moment, then turned her head. Then she asked.
"What's your name?"
"What's my name?"
"yes…"
He smiled at her and said.
"I'm Kim Seok-jin. Your name is Jeon Yeo-ju?"
"...yes"
"Are you Jeon Jungkook's younger brother?"
Seokjin playfully spoke to Yeoju, and Yeoju flinched. Seokjin tried to apologize, and just as he was about to apologize, Yeoju spoke.
"That's right. Jungkook's brother."
"Huh? Really?"
"Yes, but how do you know my brother?"
The female protagonist's voice changed to one of caution. Seokjin's eyes shook in confusion. Turning his head to look into Seokjin's eyes, the female protagonist asked in a firm voice.
"What is your relationship with my brother?"
"A, he's a colleague from the same company."
She chuckled at that. Seokjin's eyes, which had been shaking, opened wide, and the female protagonist spoke to him.
"Fuck, I guess we're in the same organization. With my brother."
"yes yes?"
"I already guessed it. He didn't look like a company employee at first glance."
Seokjin's eyes wavered even more at that. The woman smiled slightly at Seokjin and said,
"Can I join that organization too?"
**
It was a black and white building. Yeoju, who had assumed the organization worked out of a container box, was slightly surprised to see the building. She didn't express it with her expression.
"You're here?"
Hearing a sound behind him, Yeoju turned around. Behind him, Seokjin was holding a bag full of food, his hands full, as if he was just shopping. Yeoju tilted her head, and Seokjin smiled faintly.
"Foot, why, is it strange?"
"yes..."
"Of course. This is your first time in the organization. By the way, how old are you? I didn't ask you your age last time."
"I'm 18..."
Seokjin's eyes widened in surprise when he heard Yeoju's age, and Yeoju asked him a question.
"What about you...?"
"27..this..."
"Oh my, it's you."
Seokjin bristled slightly at Yeoju's words. Yeoju smiled faintly at Seokjin's reaction.
"I'm just kidding. By the way, aren't you going in?"
Seokjin chuckled at the female lead who was pointing to the door.
"Okay, let's go in."
The door creaked open, revealing a luxurious hotel-level interior. Seokjin chuckled at Yeoju's speechless expression, then gently closed her mouth.
"My jaw is dropping."
"...What kind of luxury hotel is this?"
"It's a money grab, you know."
Seokjin spoke indifferently. Despite Seokjin's remark, Yeoju was too busy exploring the building to pay attention to his words. Seokjin chuckled at Yeoju's reaction.
'There's an intruder right now, let's see who it is...'
Seokjin spoke before the sound from the earphones could even end.
"This is a new recruit."
Seokjin's face hardened as he spoke through the earpiece. Age was the issue. Bringing a minor to the organization and having them meet the boss right away was a surefire way to get the child kicked out. But he couldn't disobey, so he and Yeoju boarded the elevator to the boss's floor. Soon, the elevator arrived, and as soon as the doors opened, unlike the bright lobby, everything was pitch black.
"Why is it so dark here...?"
"Oh, don't mind it. It's the boss's taste."
Yeo-ju glanced at Seok-jin, who was speaking awkwardly.
Knock, Seokjin knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Seokjin nodded at the sound coming from inside, opened the door, and gently pushed Yeoju in. He patted her shoulder, telling her it would be okay, and closed the door. Just then, a faint laugh was heard. Yeoju flinched slightly at the sound.
"Hello, Ms. Jeon Yeo-ju?"
