1. I was foolish (5)
Lee Hyuk had to look at his clothes and feel awkward.
“Hey, what's this? ”
It was just a plain dress.
I'm just wearing a white shirt, jeans, and a light blue bell.
However, it felt very awkward for Lee Hyuk who had only worn training clothes for months.
Then, when I first came back to the modern world, I bought clothes from my own clothing store, but I got wet in my training clothes.
“Uh, awkward. ”
It is not uncommon for the convention that you are wearing clothes that do not fit.
“Why so awkward? ”
Lee Hyuk looked in the mirror and trembled.
“You look great! ”
“Mom, I don't think this is it. ”
“So you're going out in tights again? ”
“I'm not a tightwad. It's Spandex. Don't you know Skinny's the new face? ”
“Hey, Skinny, it's been 30,000 years. ”
“... Really? ”
“When are we going to talk about the enemy? ”
Lee Hyuk stretched out his mouth because he was blunt.
“Then why do I have to wear this? ”
“Brother, you said you were going to buy clothes with Dasom. ”
“Yes.”
“If you dress like that when you go shopping, the shopkeepers won't fight you. ”
“It doesn't matter? I choose my outfit. What does it matter to the clerk? ”
“And I'm so ashamed that the people I'm with want to kill themselves. ”
“ ……. ”
I wanted to protest that it wasn't enough.
What's wrong with your training uniform?
“What the hell! It's for sale at the makers. ”
“ ……. ”
Yewon shakes his head with a rotten face as if he no longer felt worthy to talk to Lee Hyuk.
“Anyway, dress like that. ”
“That's uncomfortable.”
“Make it more uncomfortable? ”
“Ahh!”
Lee Hyuk pouted and looked at his mother.
“Mom!"
“I think I know what you're going to say, so keep your mouth shut. ”
She smiled and said.
“My son, you look so lively and human dressed like this. ”
Then didn't you feel like a person before, Mother?
“I liked the hangers so much that I could wear roughly speculation, but wouldn't I be dressed like a human being? ”
“… Sorry. ”
Lee Hyuk bowed his head and apologized.
I don't know why, but I felt obliged to do so.
“Yes, son. Let's live like humans.”
“Yep.”
Lee Hyuk quickly turned around. We have to get out of the house.
“Brother, ice cream when you come. ”
“... and I'll shove it right up your ass! ”
“Expensive, then! ”
“Hnng.”
Not a word, not a word!
I wish I had a sister to live with for a month.
Lee Hyuk sighed and stepped out the door.
“What's so great about buying clothes? ”
If you knew this, you should have gone alone.
Ye-won, when did that become so close to Da-som that he can get the information out of him?
“Hnng.”
Lee Hyuk shook his head and went out. I have to go shopping and come back soon.
“Huh?"
Lee Hyuk looked around and tilted his head.
“What is it?”
When they arrived, the soldiers stood in rank, left and right.
“Lee Ji-hyuk is here! ”
The soldier standing right in front of you shouts, and one of the guards comes running from the other end.
“How do you do?”
“Hello, what's up...? ”
Lee Hyuk scratched his head and said.
“What are you doing here? ”
“Oh, I don't think that's my job to explain. Let's take this call. ”
“Yes?”
Lee Hyuk received a call from the executive.
― Lee Hyuk, Secretary of Defense.
“Oh, uh, hi. What are all these people? What have I done? ”
- That can't be right. However, there was a lack of escort for Lee Ji-hyuk recently, so I deployed a special forces unit around the house.
“… are you insane? ”
- I didn't want to do this. I feel uncomfortable placing the rabbit around the tiger, but it's not my opinion, it's coming from the top, so I can't ignore it....
“The boss? ”
- No, it's not.
“Really?"
- It's... well, Director Song Jeong-soo ordered it.
“Phew.”
Lee Hyuk opened his mouth.
“Even if you are the governor of the ruling party, can you direct the military directly like this? ”
- Of course not, it is also a party's role to help policy in the form of recommendations. Besides...
“Besides?”
― Ignore it or I'll get beaten to death.....
Lee Hyuk nodded unknowingly.
That guy... tried to burst his muscles.
Even Yi Hyuk was impressed by the muscles, but what do you think the layperson would see? Although it was strange to feel physical threat to the person who handed over the reinforcement, it was so.
“Did he try to hit you? ”
- That's not it, but whenever you say something twitching....
“… I didn't mean to. ”
I began to wonder whether the body that had unintentionally become a threat to others would help Song's political life in the future or vice versa.
Lee Hyuk, who had seen so many political editions, could not have predicted it.
“Anyway, I want you to leave these people alone. ”
- No, no.
“I'll take care of it.
― Song Jeong-soo said that even if the enemy can't go after Lee Hyuk directly, it can lead to disappointment in the country by going after Lee Hyuk's family.
“Hmm?"
- And that's true. Lee Hyuk leaves his house for more than ten hours a day. What if something happens at home in the meantime?
“That's right…. ”
There's an appendage, there's a Hercanada, there's a mistake--.
Come to think of it, they're all together these days. He moved the house with NDF blue.
Even if someone only watches the house for a week, they will be able to find as many times as they want.
“I've got my own device. ”
― Are you sure it's safe?
“Hnng.”
If he comes out like that, I have nothing to say.
- I know you don't think it's helping. I also know that Lee Hyuk is a child's prank level. But an elephant can't look at his ass.
“… the metaphor is quite strange. ”
- You can leave that to us. Song Jeong-soo said that we felt a lot too. Until now, everyone was reluctant to listen to Lee Ji-hyuk, but they didn't want to actively protect him because they thought it was the country's fundamentals.
“No, I didn't want that.... ”
― The President was very supportive. In the future, we will also try to protect Lee Hyuk's overall life, so please bear with us even if it is a little uncomfortable.
“No, it's ……. ”
- Then I'm asking you.
“Oh, yes. ”
Lee Hyuk had no choice but to say yes to the lenient tone of the minister of defense.
How many people can say no when they come from across the street so modestly?
“Hmm.”
Lee Hyuk pushed the disconnected phone forward.
“Did you finish your call? ”
“Oh, yes. ”
The officer who answered the phone quickly stepped back and saluted Lee Hyuk.
“Farewell.”
“Yep.”
Lee Hyuk awkwardly bowed his head.
‘It feels strange. ’
I even went up to the head of an empire once, but the salute I received was different from the one I received now.
‘That's when... ’
I surrendered to my abilities and stature, but there was always such alertness as looking at what was not human. Beraf was a place like that for Lee Hyuk.
No matter how hard I tried and tried, I could never overcome the natural barrier.
“I don't know.”
Lee Hyuk came out of nowhere and picked up his phone.
“Where are you?”
I called Kim Da-som via a text from the morning.
- Hey, that's my office.
“Where? NDF? ”
- Yes.
“Why are you there? ”
― I've been out for a while and it's so cold that you can't reach me.
“How long have you been out? ”
― Not long ago.
“So when? ”
- It'll be around lunch.
It's about time for dinner....
Lee Hyuk shook his head. I would not have said straight to Kim Da-som's personality, and it seemed like I was going to freeze to death waiting for morning in this cold weather, so I stopped by the office for a while.
I felt embarrassed by my voice.
“Stay there. I'll go. ”
- No, I'll be right out.
“Never mind. We'll just leave the gate open. ”
Lee Hyuk hung up his phone and opened the gate to his office.
“Character. ”
If you get out early, you'll make a phone call. You don't even have to leave a text asking to be contacted when you get out.
Lee Hyuk kicked his tongue into the gate.
“Huh?"
Lee Hyuk from the gate was embarrassed by the awkward office air.
“Oh, are you here? ”
“Are you here?”
Everyone was pouting at Lee Hyuk.
“What, this reaction? ”
Except for Choi Jung-hoon, the NDFs were staring at him like cows. And Choi Jung-hoon had to greet him, but he didn't greet him that well.
But what are all these salty reactions?
“What's that? ”
Seo Ah-young was supposed to be sitting at the glorious wooden desk.
“... I'm leaving Lee Ji-hyuk. ”
“Yep?”
When I asked what Lee Hyuk was saying, Choi Jung-hoon smiled awkwardly and replied.
“It's Lee Yi Hyuk's seat. ”
“What's that supposed to mean? My place is……. ”
Lee Hyuk looked at Seo Ah-young, with her head upside down, and turned his head in horror.
Seeing Seo Ah-young who was pouting to slit her throat if she even met her eyes, no matter how scared she was. If a woman takes a hold of you, you'll get frostbite in New York City.
“W-what's going on? ”
“Are you here?”
At that time, the door opened wide and a middle-aged man ran inside.
“Huh?"
The middle-aged man jumped in and greeted the 90-degree folder in front of Lee Hyuk.
“I thought you weren't going to work today, but here you are. ”
“Who are you?”
“I am the new Head of KSF. ”
“Oh, really? ”
“Yes, in the future you will manage NDF and KSF as a whole. Please take good care of it. ”
“What can I do for you? But did you do that desk? ”
“Hahaha, real people work separately, but things don't work out so well because they're sitting in big seats. ”
“... I was having fun. ”
“What?"
“No, I was playing, I was! ”
Lee Hyuk also shook his hand at Seo Ah-young's voice.
Rrrrgh!
I hear this ticking sound. Lee Hyuk never turned his head.
“I'll be managing the NDF from now on, so all the frivolity will go away. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to improve. ”
“Sounds like a nice thing to say... Who asked you to do? ”
The middle-aged man slightly noticed and whispered informally to Lee Hyuk.
“President Song Jeong-soo asked me specifically. ”
Lee Hyuk sighed deeply.
The muscle inspiration was starting to overdo it.
“Where's the old man? ”
