The Returner

2. You're my brother. Right? (4)

“Did you say conditions? ”

“Yes.”

Lee Hyuk simply nodded.

He looked back at Lee Ji-hyuk like that.

He was a problem because he didn't meet the conditions. But if you have what you want, you can control it.

So I can accept any condition. You can take it out of any foreign country you want.

If they are destroying their infrastructure at this time, they are willing to accept any terms and conditions unless they ask them to surrender.

“What are the conditions? Talk to me.”

He shouted in excitement.

“Is it money or power? Or a woman? I don't care what the terms are! I will accomplish everything I can. ”

When Lee Hyuk heard that, he glanced at the bottom with a shy face.

“Mister.”

Lee Hyuk's fat voice closed his mouth.

“Would you get out of here, please? ”

“… What? ”

I stared at Lee Hyuk with blank eyes.

You want me to leave?

Me?

I'm the Secretary of Foreign Affairs. Who are you going to send me away and talk to?

At that moment, Jung-hoon Choi smiled at the eyes of the bottom stone.

The lower stone's body was subtly trembling.

How dare you!

You want to talk to a low-ranking official like that, taking him out of the way of the Minister of State!

He who controlled his heart with deep breath opened his mouth quietly.

“You don't know who I am.... ”

“Yes?”

“I am the Foreign Minister. ”

Lee Hyuk opened his eyes wide.

“Minister?”

“Yes, I am the Chief Foreign Minister. ”

Lee Hyuk nodded.

“Wow, you're the Minister! ”

“Hmmm……. ”

I pressed down on the tail of my mouth, which was dripping up and down.

You don't look like you can smile here.

When others raise their heads, you should keep your expressions to yourself.

Lee Hyuk glanced at the bottom and said, smiling.

“Yes, I understand. Please leave. ”

The bottom stone's eyes trembled greatly.

I told you I was the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, and you want me to leave?

“You must be thinking wrong. It's my job to negotiate with foreign countries and get the conditions. Talking to me is the fastest and most realistic thing you can do. You know what I'm saying? ”

Lee Hyuk nodded loudly.

“Yes, get out. ”

“ ……. ”

I heard he's crazy...

While Jung-hoon was thinking about how to deal with this strange creature in front of him, Choi Jung-hoon was desperate to endure the laughter while looking at the scene.

Do what you want me to do? ’

How to do what?

That man!

Only when we are able to communicate, common sense, and bind, do we have a plan.

What do you mean, you can't talk, you can't understand, you can't control, you can't even dream?

I wouldn't say that if I were you.

If you get beat up!

Then why is it so hot in the first place? Is that body fat?

“Have you no respect for elders? ”

Lee Hyuk stared at the bottom with dazed eyes.

Elderly?

Is the human being who has lived for only 50 years now discussing his age in front of Lee Hyuk?

If you stack up my food, you'll die, you little slave!

“Ha……. ”

Tell me what to do.

It's annoying to explain, and it's rare for people to understand.

Choi Jung-hoon, who realized that Lee Hyuk was getting irritated, quickly cleaned up the situation.

“Now, Minister, first of all, calm down.... ”

“Am I calming down now! ”

Choi Jung-hoon badly said to Hae-seok.

“Minister.”

“ ……? ”

“When your relationship with him gets worse, don't you know what's going to happen? ”

“Ugh…. ”

“From the point of view of the country, you and Lee Hyuk understand that it's ridiculous to compare importance, right? ”

In an extremely rude and straightforward way, he sharpened his teeth.

Goddamn power freaks.

I can't believe he accidentally jumped over the position he came up with after a lifetime of struggle.

I was heartbroken and annoyed, but I couldn't help but admit it.

In all seriousness, the value of Lee Hyuk's existence has preceded the president of the Republic of Korea.

One minister is not capable of anything.

He breathes low and opens his mouth slowly.

“Lee Ji-hyuk. ”

Lee Hyuk bent his head tightly because of the call of the rock.

“Tsk?”

... You have to answer straight!

“Once again, I will speak respectfully. I am Sub-Seok, the Foreign Ministry of South Korea. ”

“Yes.”

“I don't know what kind of request this is, but it's up to me to decide if it's possible. Why don't you tell me yourself? ”

Lee Hyuk sighed deeply.

“Mister.”

“Yes!”

“Do you think there's something I want? ”

“… I don't know. ”

“There's nothing for me in the country anyway. I don't need anything. Don't you just want something from me? ”

“… of course. ”

“So it has nothing to do with you anyway? Don't try to eat on one leg, stay out there. ”

He took a deep breath and woke up empty-handed.

Why do I have to come all the way here to enjoy such a rich movie?

‘… It's time for me to retire, too. ’

The lower stone stumbled out the door, shrugging its shoulders.

Choi Jung-hoon's sad gaze makes him even more miserable.

After checking that Lee Hyuk had sent one person away until the door closed, I looked at Choi Jung-hoon with a soft eye.

“Jung-hoon Choi. ”

“ ……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon trembled without even answering.

Don't do it!

What's that soft voice?

You've never said that before!

What the hell are you talking about?

“Jung-hoon Choi? ”

“… Yes. ”

Choi Jung-hoon replied with a hard heart like a cow being dragged to the slaughter site.

Something strange and unknown keeps happening.

“Is it very important to apply to a foreign country? ”

What am I supposed to say?

If you get the answer wrong here, life will be lost.

“Of course.”

“Why?”

“First and foremost, there are huge benefits to what we can get through one support. And it's important to show other countries that we have the ability to support them at the same time. ”

“Well……. ”

“That part is very important in international dynamics relationships. It's not just because the United States was strong that it was capable of ruling, it's also because its capacity to intervene in foreign conflicts. ”

“Mmmm!”

“So if we can support foreign countries in the same gate crisis right now, the status of the Republic of Korea will rise dramatically, and the intangible gains are as massive as they are difficult to quantify. ”

“But that's for the benefit of the country. ”

Choi Jung-hoon nodded.

“But the interests of the state are also the interests of individuals. Lee Hyuk's life will also be easier if he has the strength of the country. ”

“I see.”

Lee Hyuk nodded.

“Then Choi Jung-hoon would go without saying a word if he were in my shoes? ”

“Of course.”

“Even if it's a matter of life? ”

Your life?

You wouldn't risk your life for that. If it gets really dangerous, you won't look back and run!

But you can't say that.

“Of course.”

“Are you saying that the interests of the state outweigh the lives of individuals? That sounds like a very dangerous idea. ”

“That's not it. I wouldn't do that if my life were in danger. But it's not that bad, is it? ”

“But it could be dangerous. Right? ”

I want to hear something, but is it really that obvious?

I felt like I was getting deeper and deeper, but I couldn't take it away from here.

“Yes, it is. ”

“So if Choi Jung-hoon is in my position, I can dedicate my life to the country even if it may be risky. What, like this? ”

“… does that make sense? ”

I thought I said no all the time, but why is that conclusion?

“If you want to push people into limbs, you have to be willing to push people into limbs. ”

“Me?”

“So who else is here? ”

“When did I buy Lee Hyuk... …. ”

Lee Hyuk's eyes sank low.

“No?”

“ ……. ”

No, you're not.

It's not...

What happens to me if I say no now?

Jung-hoon, who calculated the number of cases, found the best answer he could.

“I didn't mean to. ”

“Oh my, you're trying to kill someone with no intention! If you say you didn't mean to, you'll bring the dead back to life! ”

... Someone died, I told them to!

Choi Jung-hoon sighed and said.

“Lee Ji-hyuk. ”

“Yes.”

“What do you want? ”

“Hoho?”

I can understand a damn thing you're saying.

Lee Hyuk smiled gladly and said.

“The world is an ancestor. ”

“I admit it."

“If I negotiate with Choi Jung-hoon and go on a trip, Choi Jung-hoon will get something too, right? ”

“Of course.”

That's a stick, too.

It was not just a financial gain.

Just the fact that he can control Lee Hyuk will give him a presidential position beyond that of a country.

Lee Hyuk gave me the opportunity to draw back the plans I had made to create the first NDF for more than 20 years.

‘Obviously I'm grateful for that part. ’

“So, you know, ”

“Yes.”

“Can you do me a favor? ”

“ ……. ”

A favor?

Lee Hyuk's request?

Choi Jung-hoon's head became numb.

I had no idea how big it was, and I had no idea how petty a request it was.

Besides...

Please?

Does he need to ask someone else something? There's nothing the world can't handle!

“W-what is that? ”

Choi Jung-hoon asked, trembling with anxiety and fear.

“Well, it's simple. It's very simple. It's just a matter of one day. ”

“It seems very easy and very difficult. ”

I feel like I can do twice as much work in an hour...

“What are you going to do for the day? ”

“I'm going to the amusement park. ”

“… Yes? Me and Lee Hyuk? ”

“No, with my family. ”

“Lee Hyuk and Lee Hyuk's family and me? ”

“No, with my family. ”

“ ……. ”

Son of a bitch, what's in your head?

Choi Jung-hoon tilted his head in response to Lee Hyuk's unknown demand.

“It's not that hard... ”

What is it?

How uncomfortable is this?

“Is this really necessary? ”

“Hmm……. ”

Lee Hyuk seemed to be thinking about something.

Why are you worrying?

“Well, I'm sure there's a sense of imbalance. I'm going to need to hear one more thing. ”

“Yes?”

“There he is, that's great. Do you need anything? ”

What do you need?

Do I have to say it?

“Workforce, money, time, command. ”

Four most important things!

“Okay.”

Lee Hyuk stood up and laughed.

“I keep my promises. ”

“Yes?”

Lee Hyuk went outside, leaving a word that he didn't know in English, and approached the subordinate who was waiting for him, and began to talk.

In just 5 minutes, Hae Seok came in, his face was blue, and he wiped off the cold sweat and said to Cho Jeong-hoon.

“What do you want? ”

“Yes?”

“Just tell me! What do you need? Come on!"

“Yes?”

Choi Jung-hoon rubbed his eyebrows, looking at the restless bottom stone.

‘What did I say to make me a minister. ’

It was Jung-hoon Choi who once again realized how terrible the human being called Sae Sam Lee Hyuk was.
