Next Level
EP 4.
slap-
김여주
...under...
Leaving the suspicious man behind, I entered room 0709, changed my clothes, and collapsed on the bed without even a moment to wash. I was sucked into the incredibly soft, cloud-like bed, never wanting to leave.
김여주
Ah... I can't sleep...
02:18 PM
I checked my watch and it was only 2:18, too early to sleep.
But since there was a 12-hour time difference between the US and Korea, I couldn't overcome sleep, and soon my eyelids grew heavy, and before I knew it, the only sound in the room was the sound of my deep, deep breathing as I slept.
Then, after a few hours,
Beep- beep- beep--
김여주
Ugh...!!
I woke up startled by the sound of a siren echoing throughout the room. It felt like a few hours had passed since I'd only slept a little...
김여주
Ugh... how long have you been sleeping...
05:22 PM
김여주
Crazy... You slept for 3 hours...?
I checked my watch and saw that it was already approaching evening. Perhaps it was because I hadn't adjusted to the time difference, but I was still half-asleep, so I slapped my face and tried to wake myself up.
김여주
By the way, what is this siren sound...
Now that I think about it, this siren that's been blaring loudly since I woke up... I don't think it was even in the emergency response manual. What on earth is it?
Chijik- Chijijik-
김석진
"Kim Yeo-ju, can you hear me?"
A familiar voice came from the walkie-talkie left on the table. It was Kim Seokjin.
김여주
"What is that siren sound? What's going on?"
김석진
"There's an intruder inside the building."
...intruder...?
김석진
"Security officers found him and have him arrested. We're verifying his identity, so come to Room 1 of the shooting range on the fourth floor."
김여주
"Oh, yeah."
Thump-
김여주
...
My life has been truly... spectacular...
After roughly tying up my hair, I quickly arrived at the training grounds. In the center of the vast, open training grounds, there were five or six people, including a man tied up with rope, a security guard, and team members. A few others seemed to have yet to arrive.
Meanwhile, I was the only one who changed clothes... Everyone was wearing the same suit as before, so I felt awkward for no reason with the hoodie and tied hair that looked too comfortable.
김여주
Hmm... Sorry I'm late.
정호석
It's not like they've all arrived yet.
김여주
haha...
김여주
...Uh, just a moment.
"..."
The figure of a bound man came into view. He looked familiar: tracksuit, slippers, a black hat, and a black mask...
김여주
...ah...!!!
박지민
What, why are you like that?
김여주
...I ran into this person in the elevator earlier.
김석진
What? Why didn't you tell me that?!
김여주
Who knew it was an intruder? I thought it was an employee!!
김석진
Have you ever seen such a stupid employee?!!
김여주
Phew...! A slap? Hahahaha
"Oh, if I laugh first, I lose. But it was my mistake, so let's just ignore it," he said, bending over and asking Kim Seok-jin again.
김여주
Okay, so what are we going to do with this guy?
김석진
I don't know. They said they found Jeon Jungkook, so let's find out about that first.
김여주
...Jeon Jungkook? Why?
김석진
I don't know. I called, so he'll come.
김여주
...
What on earth is the relationship between this man who is lying motionless on the floor, either passed out or asleep, and Jeon Jungkook?
A moment later, all the team members gathered, and Jeon Jungkook, like me, appeared disheveled, his hair disheveled, as if he'd just slept through it. I chuckled at his hair, which didn't match his suit.
The man still hadn't gotten up.
전정국
Uh... What is this person?
Jeongguk yawned and spoke, seemingly still unaware of who this person was.
김남준
Don't you know? Who are you?
전정국
Yes? How would I know? Who are you?
김남준
I don't know. They said they looked for you when they dragged you here.
전정국
Me? Why...?
김태형
Look at his face. Don't you know him?
Taehyung, who was standing next to him, intervened, and Jeon Jungkook, still puzzled, approached the man with a questioning expression and removed his mask and hat. Those of us nearby also looked at his face and knew for sure that he was someone we hadn't seen in the building before.
전정국
...Wh, what...
Meanwhile, Jeongguk looked at the man's face and stood frozen, seemingly quite flustered. His expression, a look of surprise or fear, was something he'd never seen before, and he felt uneasy.
정호석
What is it, why are you doing that?
전정국
...
전정국
This new X... look at this..
김여주
...?
His small curse, muttered softly, and then Jeongguk's large hand instantly turned the man's cheek.
Crack-!!
"Ugh...!! What the!!!!"
전정국
...who are you, you new X?
"Why are you here?"
