EP 7. - Next Level | 맏형라인사룽해

As soon as I opened the door, the waft of cigarette smoke and the smell of cigarettes made me close my eyes without realizing it. I must have smoked so much that the pungent smell made me cough.

Thump-

전정국

You're over there.

김여주

Cough... Huh...?

Jeon Jungkook, who hadn't said a word until we got here, shoved me aside and spoke. I was so dazed I couldn't even think of a response, and I pressed myself against the smokeless wall. Only then did I feel like I could breathe a little easier.

김여주

...for a moment.

김여주

By the way, what about the four...?

The four people who were supposed to come in earlier are nowhere to be seen. Have they already infiltrated...?

"fizzle-"

김여주

Ugh...!!! Ugh!!

김태형

Shh, it's me.

김태형

If you peek at it like that, you'll get caught, right?

Kim Taehyung grabbed me from behind, covering my mouth as I was peeking into the office. For a moment, my heart skipped a beat.

김여주

Woof..!! Eubbub!!!

김태형

Speak quietly.

With those words, Kim Taehyung released the hand covering my mouth. At that moment, I struggled and fell to the floor, looking quite comical. My face flushed, and I became even more angry, needlessly irritated. Of course, I kept my voice low.

김여주

I was surprised...!!! I thought you were going to kidnap me!!

김태형

Just looking at the office staff, there are probably about fifteen people. If we get caught, we'll be in more danger.

김태형

The people who entered are not easy people, so just watch quietly.

김여주

...

The fact that he can smile so calmly even in this situation... does that mean he has a corner of him that believes in him?

Meanwhile, four people quickly entered the office.

Inside the office, men with rough, rough faces were smoking cigarettes and sitting haphazardly on chairs, desks, and other objects. It definitely didn't look like a normal lending office.

"What? Who is it?"

A man with a tattoo of a dragon all over his arm glared at the four of them and opened his mouth. With every word, a puff of cigarette smoke billowed out, making me want to give up my sense of smell.

김석진

I came here because they said they'd lend me money. I saw this flyer.

"...Huh~?"

김석진

...Why, is there a problem?

The man looked Seokjin up and down as if he was dumbfounded, then said with a laugh that was either a hollow laugh or something else.

"Hey, don't you see this? It says only women can borrow."

김석진

yes?

"Oh, right, are your eyes swollen? Men don't get loans."

"Don't bother me and just get out of here."

김석진

...Wow...

김남준

...

While Seokjin was arguing with the men, Namjoon filmed all the CCTV footage in the office and sent it to Hoseok. Fortunately, the people who were focused on Seokjin didn't see Namjoon.

And Seokjin, too, was practically swaying them with his eloquence. Jimin and Yoongi simply watched them, biding their time.

김석진

Just leave it to me and I'll double your reward, right?

"Haha... JjiX, how can I believe what you say? What? Double? Even a passing dog would laugh."

김석진

I guess you don't know me well?

"Yeah, I don't know. Who are you? Before I hit you, either get out or introduce yourself."

박지민

...What is that guy trying to do?

민윤기

I don't know. I guess I have an idea.

Jimin and Yoongi whispered quietly behind Seokjin. Of course, that was because Seokjin hadn't made any plans or explanations about what he would do to the three of them.

민윤기

If you keep doing that, you won't lose your pint, right...?

Chijik- Chijijik-

정호석

"Ah, can you all hear me?"

There was a brief buzzing sound from the wireless earphones I was secretly wearing, and then Hoseok's voice flowed out.

정호석

"If you look inside the office, there's a desk in the center, and next to it, at 3 o'clock, there's a bookshelf and a curtain, right? Behind that curtain, you can see what looks like a door handle."

정호석

"It's very worn and covered, so it doesn't seem like a very dignified place. Please check it out. Be careful when you go in."

김남준

Okay. Any other info?

정호석

"I don't know much about it other than that it's a very old room. Anyway, just take a look at that room. We'll go in when the time comes."

김남준

Okay, I got it.

"Why are you babbling like a rat? Just do it!!"

The man seemed to notice Namjoon, who was quietly talking to Hoseok, and glared at Namjoon, raising his hand and making a motion to hit him.

Then, Yoon-ki and Seok-jin, who were in front of him, hastily blocked his path, and Seok-jin resumed his non-conversational conversation, slyly. This time, he didn't just speak; he moved his long legs, slowly glancing around the office.

박지민

...for a moment,

박지민

That guy... No way...!!

김석진

Wow, the office is spacious. There's a lot of stuff... and a lot of furniture...

김석진

...There are also hidden spaces like this?

Squeak-

박지민

Bro!! No!!!

When Jimin reached out his hand to Seokjin, who was moving away in a hurry, it was already too late.

Seokjin's hand was already turning the doorknob behind the curtain that Hoseok had pointed out, opening the door.

"Hey, hey!!! Get that son of a bitch!!!!"

김여주

what...!!

김태형

hey!!

Kim Taehyung grabbed my wrist as I tried to get up and made me sit back down. When on earth is Jiwon going to come? Why am I supposed to keep waiting...?!

김여주

Shouldn't we be going to support them?! There are way more people there than us...!!!

김태형

...still. Just wait.

김여주

What are you talking about!!! If you keep doing that you'll die...!!

김태형

Shh, it's safer if we stay still. If we crowd together, we'll get more tired.

김여주

still!!!

김태형

...under...

Kim Taehyung let out a small sigh and continued speaking in a frustrated tone. This time, when his face was thrust in, he felt slightly uncomfortable. Nevertheless, he blinked his already large eyes and spoke in a low voice.
