bang-!

“Is this the restaurant run by Jeon Sang-hyun?”

전상현

"Yes, yes... It's the restaurant I run, but who are you..."

???

"It's true that you borrowed about 80 million won from us on May 6th, Mr. Jeon Sang-hyun."

전상현

"Ah, ah.. d, you're here to collect money..? I, I'm sorry, but d, I haven't been able to save up the money yet, so I think I'll have to pay you back next time.."

puck-!

전상현

"Ugh..!"

???

"Ugh... This X-boy, if you borrow money from someone else, you have to pay it back on time. Right? Don't you know that the more you do this, the more interest you'll have and the harder it'll be? How much better it would have been if you borrowed it in May and paid it back in June. Huh? I'm three months behind and the interest is higher than the principal, you know that?"

전상현

"Ugh, d, I don't have any money..."

???

"If you don't have money, pay it back even if you have to borrow it. Or sell the store. There are many ways, right? But why doesn't this kid pay it back, why-!"

Pfft- pfft-

전상현

"Ugh..! Ugh..! D, I'll definitely pay you back next month..ugh..!"

???

"Ugh... that's enough. Since we haven't paid back the money by the promised date, we'll have to go and get it ourselves. Guys, sweep it up-!"

???

"Yes, brother!"

Bang- clang- bang-

전상현

"Oh, no... Don't do this..! Sob.. If this store doesn't exist, I'll never be able to pay you back.. sob.."

???

"That's your business, Jeon Sang-hyun."

Kwaang- Clang- Kwak-

"Brother, I searched the entire kitchen, but I couldn't find any money."

???

"What? Did you look for it correctly? There's no way the restaurant wouldn't have any money, you punk!"

???

"I'm sorry, there weren't any."

???

"Whew... Mr. Jeon Sang-hyun, you really piss me off. Whew... I'm going back to headquarters now. Tell the kids to come out."

???

"Yes, brother."

???

"Hey, Mr. Jeon Sang-hyun. I'll come back tomorrow, so make sure you have the money ready. It's 140 million won, including interest."

???

"Let's go. The Savior doesn't like to wait, so we'll have to go quickly."

???

"Yes, brother!"

dripping-

???

"[Let's talk about that later. Let's stop here.]" (Let's talk about that later.)

???

"[Good, good]" (Okay, I get it.)

???

"Come in"

???

"I'm back."

???

"Did you get the money?"

???

"I'm sorry, but I couldn't receive it. I'm truly sorry."

???

"Okay, okay. This isn't the first or second time this has happened. That's why I don't lend money to guys like that... hmm."

???

"Just get out. I have to tell the Savior, so don't let anyone in."

???

"Yes, thank you for your hard work."

Squeak-

bang-

???

"[Yes, I am, Savior.]"

???

"[(In a low voice) What about Choi Woo-hyun and Park Jimin?"

???

"They haven't taken any action yet. It must be confusing. An organization they thought had disappeared is still active and watching them. Haha."

???

"You shouldn't let your guard down. Remember this. That guy Choi Woo-hyun is strong in surprise attacks. You never know when, where, or what he'll do, so keep a close eye on him."

???

"[Trust me, Savior. I will never let my guard down until our YN regains her former honor.]"

???

"[Yeah, I trust you. Oh, while we're at it, how about we just kidnap Park Jimin? Even if he's not of much use to us, it'll be a huge blow to that bastard Choi Woohyun.]"

???

"[(With a bitter smile) I'll take care of it right away, Savior.]"

???

"As expected from a loyal YN member of the organization. I'm tired now, so I need to rest. I'll contact you again later.]"

???

"[Yes, please rest.]"
