The Returner

5. I think I've seen it somewhere, really (5)

Lee Hyuk looked at the opening door.

A door that opens slowly without urgently opening.

And then there was a man with a look on his face who seemed to have seen him somewhere.

“Good to see you again. ”

The man in the robe looked at Lee Hyuk and bowed politely. A man breaks into the confinement of a sinner, but the man doesn't seem to be embarrassed at all.

“Do I know you? ”

Lee Hyuk replied with a natural voice.

“Can I not know Lee Hyuk? You are the star of our people, and you are the star of our people. ”

“You look like a Seoul person. ”

Lee Hyuk secretly looked at the politeness.

I did not notice any North Korean accents in her voice.

“I care about my accent because of what I'm doing. ”

“That's not so natural, is it? ”

“That's correct.”

There was a man who thought he was going to see the smiling politeness.

“Weren't we seeing each other somewhere? ”

“I saw you at the party the other day. ”

“I don't think so. ”

Lee Hyuk tilted his head and politely smiled.

“Or you've been to North Korea before. ”

“Hmm……. ”

Lee Hyuk clearly thought he had seen politeness before, but he was not very good at forcing people to open their mouths.

“Well, okay. So be it.”

Lee Hyuk pushed Park Yong-hui into the gate.

“Tell him to go heal. ”

Dogyoon nods and enters the gate. I've been watching the process, but I don't see any movement for paper paper.

“Aren't you going to stop him? ”

“Who? ”

“Shouldn't I be taking him now? ”

“Of course not, but I don't have the courage to stop Lee Hyuk from doing what he does. ”

“He's a strange man. ”

“Everyone has only one life. ”

“Oh, do I have to kill you? ”

“You're a merciful man. You don't have to kill him. But I don't want to suffer enough to die. As a human being, no one has ever stood across from you, so you just don't know it. ”

“I really think I know.... ”

Lee Hyuk's mouth began to twist.

This kind of unilateral information was not exactly what he wanted. The opponent knows him well, but if he doesn't know anything about the opponent, no one will feel better.

“Hmm, well, good. ”

It wasn't a very pleasant situation, but it wasn't something I was going to fall for.

Maybe this is North Korea.

“I'll be going, then. Can I go?”

“Of course. But first... ”

“If you want me to let you go, I'll make sure you let me go, and then you harass me. ”

“I have no intention of bothering you. That's not it...... ”

“Yes?”

Citizenship opened its mouth after a gentle smile.

“How about a cup of coffee? Something good came in. ”

“…… Huh? ”

The views were very good.

“…… I heard it's almost ruined here? It's a monster.”

“It's true.”

The lounge on the top floor of Ryu Kyung Hotel was quite well-decorated. Excluding Ryu Kyung Hotel's prejudice, it looked refined enough to be considered a lounge for a domestic hotel.

“Only the top floor was serviced separately, thinking there should be a place to treat them. It's a shallow trick, but it's the best one in the country. ”

“I see.”

Lee Hyuk looked out the window.

Pyongyang looks down at you.

“But what are you thinking? ”

Normally, I was going to go to South Korea without looking back, but politeness attracted the interest of Lee Hyuk.

A man who proactively recommends coffee in that situation.

“I don't mind. I just wanted to have a conversation. ”

“Conversation?”

“Yes, it's literally a conversation. It's an immeasurable privilege for me to talk to Lee Hyuk from heaven. ”

“Are you making fun of me? ”

“Does it seem sarcastic to you? ”

Lee Hyuk and Jung Ming's eyes met.

Lee Hyuk realized that he was telling the truth and sighed.

“I don't know what you're thinking. ”

“It's nothing to worry about. I just wanted to have coffee with Lee Ji-hyuk. ”

“I'm a man. ”

“…… I don't like that either. ”

Jung Minsung smiled and opened his mouth.

“In fact, there is no one more respectable than Lee Hyuk for our talents. Lee Ji-hyuk's existence has not been revealed so far, but if Lee Ji-hyuk actively announces his existence... there will be a revolution in this world. ”

“It's strange to hear of revolution in North Korea. ”

I drank coffee without answering.

“Here you go.”

“Give me some sugar. I don't like it. ”

Only after putting the sugar cubed in the coffee, Lee Hyuk drank coffee.

“Are you all right?”

“I can't tell the difference between expensive and inexpensive because my mouth is garbage. It's all delicious when it's sweet. ”

“Too bad. Good coffee. ”

“Let's get to the point. ”

“The point?”

“Why didn't you just bring me here to talk and have a cup of coffee? ”

“Would you be angry if I said that? ”

“No offense, but I don't want to waste my time, so I'm going home to wipe my feet and get some sleep. ”

The politeness smiled subtly.

“You're a hard man to handle. ”

“In what way? I think I'm being very adamant. ”

“Definitely……. ”

Jung Minsung grabbed his glasses off his face. He folded his glasses and looked up at Lee Hyuk.

“Lee Ji-hyuk. ”

“Yes?”

“Lee Hyuk, what do you think of the world? ”

“What are you talking about? ”

“Do you think the world is rational? ”

“I don't know what you're talking about.... ”

Lee Hyuk replied profusely.

“Unfortunately, the world you think is rational is a concept that hasn't been done since humanity came into the world. ”

“ ……. ”

“There have been countless people in history trying to create a new world with Utopia. not just here, but elsewhere as well. But you know what the consequences are? ”

“Are you saying you failed? ”

“No. There was just a reversal of the dominant and the dominant. When new concepts start to dominate the world, there are side effects. Of course, I don't want to deny that the process leads to progress. ”

I put up with Lee Hyuk's pretty cynical posture.

“The obvious change, as you might think, is that it doesn't happen surprisingly well. Believing that if you change this, the world will be completely different is just a delusion of the person who is obsessed with his own thoughts. ”

“Indeed.”

The politeness gives a big nod.

“You're right. You must be Lee Yi Hyuk. ”

It was said that the politeness was genuinely admired. However, it was Lee Hyuk who sounded like the tone was subtly sarcastic.

“If you don't have anything to say, I think you're free to go. ”

“But, Yi Hyuk. ”

Lee Hyuk stared at the politeness without answering.

“It's always been those idiots who changed the world. Thanks to the idiots who threw themselves at the rocks with their eggs, the world has moved on. ”

“So you want to hit a rock with an egg? ”

“It's reckless, but... ”

Jung Minsung smiled.

“Rocks are not rocks nowadays. And we're not just eggs either. ”

Lee Hyuk nodded softly.

“Yeah. Well, that's good. So…. ”

Lee Hyuk quietly opened his mouth to the politeness.

“How's the Alpha? ”

“ ……. ”

Jung Min-sung seems to have been stabbed.

Lee Hyuk kept saying as if he knew it would be so.

“I thought it felt familiar, but it's different. I thought I heard what you said somewhere. I should say so. ”

“He's fine. ”

“Still haven't changed your mind? ”

“He's changed his mind since all the humans in the world have disappeared. ”

“There's no way to stop the democracy of being chosen. People who think that are usually psychopaths. Unfortunately, I'm not a doctor, so I don't know how to fix a psychopath. There's only one thing. ”

As Lee Hyuk's face sank low, Jung Min-hyuk asked.

“May I ask what that means? ”

“It's simple. Dead people, crazy people, all the same. ”

“…… That's a very scary thing to say. Especially when it comes from your mouth. ”

Lee Hyuk didn't unravel his face.

“I don't know what you're trying to do, but I don't think you realize it's crazy. ”

“That's what it looks like. ”

“I'm not one to stand up and do things, but I'm a satisfied person in the world now. If I feel like my life is just a little bit invasive, I'm going to go out there and I'm going to destroy it. ”

“I'll remember.”

“If I thought about it, I'd feel better if I smashed this whole place right now.... ”

Lee Hyuk looked around with a worried face and sighed.

“I'm no babysitter, and I can't take care of everything by myself forever. And you're doing this because I'm confident that if I go off on my own, I'll be able to stop you. ”

“It's a mistake. We really don't want to antagonize Lee Hyuk. ”

“I wish I could tell you that I was mistaken, but I'm leaving today. If I wreak havoc here alone, it will eventually reduce my position. But I'm warning you, if you don't stop, I'll come back. And tell him it's not going to end like this. ”

“Deliver?”

“To the Alpha.”

“… OK. ”

Lee Hyuk left a note and waved his hand.

Lee Hyuk stood up right next to the gate.

“You had a good cup of coffee. I hope we can have another drink together next time. ”

“I had fun, too. ”

Lee Hyuk and Jung Ming's eyes met each other.

“I'm warning you.”

Lee Hyuk left a note and walked into the gate. Jung Min-hyuk was only able to relax after the gate with Lee Hyuk completely disappeared.

“A glass of water. ”

“Yes.”

The politeness who ordered water from the waiter who was waiting looked out the window.

North Korea's vacant buildings overlook.

“Warning……. ”

The real intervention of Lee Hyuk is a variable that can make everything go wrong. But it had to be done.

“Tell those who were waiting to be released. The goal is back.”

“I understand.”

“But he'll be back soon. Then it will be an inevitable battle. ”

Not just them, but the battle for the world will begin.

Jung Minsung looked out the window and burst his big smile.
