After 12 Hours

Garden Royal

Far, red sunset sets. The autumn wind blows, and the Han River flows accordingly. The children kick the ball and run around, while the students in uniform are chattering on their bikes. The women in colorful climbing suits mate with badminton. I drank beer and watched it. With Crow. Crow, who was watching, says a word.

“Excellent, Jules. ”

“Right? This is how the people of Seoul enjoy relaxation. ”

“I see. First of all... you look good in peace. ”

I glanced at him. He has a strange look on his face. It seems to recall the past.

Um...

He picks up the neatly spread chicken bone and says,

“And it's really good. Fried chicken.”

He is holding a red spiced chicken. The last time I filtered the chicken from the buffet, I once again picked 'marinade’ from the fries, spices and garlic.

“Ah… yes. This is a marinated chicken... the most popular and delicious food in Korea. It's a popular dish that most Koreans eat once a month. ”

“I see.”

He nods and chews the elongated chicken. This looks like a foreigner who came to the Han River.

“That was amazing, by the way. The... black furry eye patch. ”

I'm telling you, Crowe chews chicken without saying a word.

“It was like magic. It is. It's coming out of some kind of VR device nowadays... but it's not as vivid... as it looks. Still.”

Then, he looked at me and said,

“... it's just a dream made up. Jules, don't get carried away. ”

His blue eyes are quite serious. I raised my two eyebrows and nodded.

“Sure.”

Crowe quickly eliminated all three of them. I think I've eaten half as many pieces per species as I can, but he's a real macrophage.

‘I thought three would be enough... I should have one or two more. ’

“I had a really good meal today, too. Jules.”

“Yes, I see it twice a month, and every time I eat something delicious, I talk about it. ”

“Yes, Jules. ”

“Let's get to the point... what I'm asking you to do this time...”

I looked around once as I said that. There's no one around the mattress where we sit to listen to the conversation.

“There is someone called Table Gate Water. Suyeon, Vice President of Electronics, came out of that dream. ”

“Yes.”

“His cheek? Can you look at the dirt for me? He looked quite different from the outside, as I noticed. ”

“... what exactly are you talking about...”

“Well... while he was vice chairman... or vice chairman, something went wrong in the process, someone around him. ”

However, Crowe, who listened to it, expressed his color.

“That... might be a little difficult. Jules.”

“Yes?”

“In order for me to do my research, I need specific factors such as a certain location, who did what at a certain time, etc. Just ask me to do a background check on this guy. That's not something I can do. ”

“Well...”

I thought about ping-pong for a while.

"a certain place, a certain time, a certain event..."

Before I came here, I had already done some research on Table Gates. But he had a really, really clean past. It does not say that it was hurting someone, and it does not say that it benefited in an unfair way. With only the information from the portal, he was, completely, completely clean. I don't know.

‘Industry praises often. ’

So much so that Vice President Jang knows, the news to the general public will only be good and beautiful.

“There's no such thing as an unusual case...”

“Then I won't be doing any research...”

What do we do?

I thought about it for a moment, and suddenly

“Oh, by any chance. ”

Borrow that dream again.

“The data that Takjugi prepared to attack Suyeon with a mind. Can't we get that data? ”

“Are you referring to the data... prepared for turbulence? ”

“Yes. Didn't I tell you that in my dreams? My final goal was Su-yeon. He had a low succession, but he was a Suyeon group member. Corruption within Suyeon Group if you decide to take internal shots and collect information. You could have collected the secret information. Taken together by Table Moon, who wanted to hide it. ”

“... I see. So, we're collecting data from a dead turbulent device? ”

“Yes. Is that possible? ”

“Yes, I think so. ”

“Then I'm asking you. Exactly, all the information that the takedown machine had to attack the company. Bring it to me."

“Yes, Jules. ”

But in the meantime,

"Tyrie."

My phone rang in my pocket. I've heard of it. Anybody who made the call is her. I told Crowe,

“Give me a call...”

I tried to understand, but he was already gone. As usual, I answered the phone with a slight tingling sensation.

“Oh, baby. ”

*

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

The elevator opens with a sound. I walked to my house in a maze of corridors. At that moment, the door next door opened and Ah-young shrugged her head.

“Hello, brother. ”

Tie your head together if you were working at all. He looks so cute.

“What? How did you know? ”

“You said they'd be here soon. Besides, if I hear footsteps coming from the hallway, I know it's you. ”

“Hmmm. ”

I approached her and kissed her rather than pressing the password.

“Sorry I've been so busy lately. I don't get to show my girlfriend much. ”

“I can't help it. Besides, I've been busy. ”

I was busy, but she was also pretty busy before graduation. Graduate school of art. I have to graduate.

“So, how's graduation going? ”

“Moderately.”

“Moderately?”

In my question, she picked up her phone and showed me her desktop. There are people on colorful trees who are angry, petulant, thinking, crying, terrified.

“I'm working hard, but the professor doesn't like it, so... I don't know what he wants...”

I nodded and thought.

"Modern art..."

I have no idea, but there are billions and billions of such works traded between the penalties. Artwork is tax-free, making it a great way to tech. Every big business wife runs a small museum for a reason. I told Aryoung playfully.

“When that's done, how many millions are there? Teacher?”

She said with a cute smile.

“I'm still anonymous… that might be difficult. People don't all have as much money as anybody. ”

“I don't know. I don't know which idiot's gonna buy me millions. ”

I pointed to my chest with my thumb as I said that. I say she laughs again.

“Never mind. I have enough money. You said you had dinner, right? ”

“Oh, yes, I did. I ate a little less. ”

I didn't think I'd get three chickens and eat less.

“Oh, go in and wash up first. I'll do something in the meantime. ”

“Yes, of course. ”

She walks into her house, shaking her tied head. I pressed the password and entered the house. When I came home, I felt tired for some reason. It was the second time, but filming is still difficult.

I didn't know when I was talking to Crowe, but it must have been the chipmunks.

I took my clothes off and hung them on the couch and went straight to the shower. I took a hot shower, but it's a little less, and I hear something outside while I'm taking a shower. Aryoung must have come into our house. I came back to the living room after a rough shower, washed, and dressed myself in panties and underwear t-shirts. Something smells fishy.

“What's that smell? ”

She is standing behind the couch. She tells me.

“Walnut pie.”

“Walnut pie? Mmm, sounds delicious. ”

But then, she swoops around and says,

“Brother, what is this? ”

In her hand is a small piece of paper.

What is that? Business card?

At that moment, I realized. That's my business card, the MBE Announcer freshman in my pants. 'Business card written.

“Oh… that. ”

Ah-young's attitude has changed slightly. A little cold.

“That's a business card?”

“Business card... izzie. ”

What, did you go through my pants? ’

“Then why is this? Are you separated from the living room? ”

"Ah..."

I just remembered, as soon as I walked in, I swooped my pants off and hung myself on the couch. That must have fallen on the floor of the room.

“Oh, that. I got it today. I think I dropped something I left in my pocket. It's no big deal. I filmed it today. I got it.”

“Hmmm... did you get the job? ”

“Sort of. ”

I did say that, but I got stabbed a little.

‘Please contact us.'

It was because I remembered the face of the freshman who was winking. And that red skirt that was shaking from side to side every time I walked. But I told her.

“Tear it up or throw it away. I don't think we'll ever see each other again. For a while.”

“Hmmm...”

After she opened her eyes and looked at me, she put her business card back in my pants pocket.

“You have to exchange business cards. We're working together, but you don't have to have a phone number. I trust you. ”

I love that about her. But then she said one more thing.

“But be careful. I believe in other women. You can seduce my man. ”

I'm also scared of women. I nodded.

“Yes, yes. ”

Tiri! Tiri! Tiri!

Alarm sounds. 7: 00 a.m. It's my weather alarm, and she heard it first and got out of bed.

“I'm going to go. Actually, I should have done more work yesterday. I came home early to play with my brother. I'm going to school early today. Have breakfast separately. ”

“Uh-huh.”

She stood up and kissed my cheek like a writer chasing on a deadline and went home. The rest of me woke up, rubbing my eyes.

"Whatever happens today..."

I'd like to rest while trading at home for a long time, but I'll have to ask my assistant. I came to the living room and opened the refrigerator and took a glass of cold water. Now I see the clothes I left on the couch yesterday are still there. I lifted my pants. In your pants.

‘MBE Announcer new vessel. ’

Looking at the business card, I crumpled it and threw it in the trash. I'm sorry, but I like her. I don't want to forsake her. Then I tried to put it in the laundry basket. Suddenly,

‘Oh dear. ’

On second thought, I realized that there are more important documents in the discussion. Turns out it's still in your arms. An invitation to the Garden Royal with a golden ‘R’ on it. I opened it up again. It seems that the last phrase worries me.

‘If you are willing to participate, please wait with this letter at the correct time and at the correct location. ’

“Well...”

I watched it, picked it up, came back to bed, put it under the mattress. If Envy Garden used to be a lair of snakes that couldn't be easy, there are really these weapons. It was likely to be a group of people who became easy.

Garden Royale.

I lay in bed thinking about him.
