The Returner

4. What's wrong? (4)

“I don't know, just friends. ”

“Why are you following me around like this? ”

“You're a celebrity. You'd think you'd like it if you brought her. ”

“That's where Ji-hyuk comes in, and there's no reason for friends to go where they can't afford to go for free. Do you know how much money he'll make if he goes around the show again at this hour? ”

“… so what do you want to say? ”

Choi Mi silenced.

Things are too big for her to say what she thinks.

Even so, Jung-min.

Aren't you the most popular celebrity right now?

“Write, maybe get a thumb. ”

“No way! ”

“Can you take responsibility for that? ”

Choi Mi was beaten.

“Think calmly. If you ask a girl you know to come with you, is anyone coming? ”

“... none. ”

“Girlfriend wouldn't want to follow me to a reunion no one knows about, but it's common sense to think of it as crossing paths. ”

There were those who did not know that the best words were reasonable. But no one wanted to admit it.

“Maybe it's because you're nice. ”

“Huh?”

Choi Mi scoffed.

“You guys are gross when you talk about celebrities, you talk about all kinds of insults and celebrities, and my brother wouldn't do that, would he? He's been in the show business for ten years. Who wouldn't be? ”

Choi Chang-hyuk was staring at the place where the two went out with blank faces. Choi Choi Mi looked at the scene and laughed.

“Why? Are you upset? ”

“... Here you go. ”

“Huh? What do you mean, gone? ”

Choi Chang-hyuk still replied with a face that seemed to be half mesmerized.

“Jung-min's going to the bathroom. ”

“What are you talking about, you lunatic! ”

“... I thought I'd only live off the dew..." ”

“Just drink the dew and you'll get something! What aliens!”

Others nodded.

I don't know which one you agree with.

“Oh, here he comes. ”

You hear chattering outside.

“Huh?"

Lee Hyuk stood by the window instead of coming in, and asked for a cigarette, and Jung Jeong-min kept the seat next to him while nagging.

Jung Jeong-min was nagging all the time while smoking cigarettes, and when Lee Hyuk responded, he jumped.

When Lee Hyuk grabbed her head and pushed her out, I saw her crying beautifully....

“... It looks good on you. ”

Choi Chang-hyuk said bitterly.

No matter how much I tried to deny it, I couldn't deny it.

That was already an unusual level of friendship.

“I see.”

George had to admit it. I think I'll have a lot to say when I get to work. If we see Lee Hyuk and Jeong-min directly and talk together, we will be able to live with the envy of other talents in one body.

“Some of them are capable and working well with the chosen people, but some of them.... ”

Choi Chang-hyuk looked at the sky with a depressed face.

In this competition, I heard the voices of my sisters who said they had to win.

‘What a fucking game. ’

The eyes were getting moist.

Life is so unfair.

Some of them are pretty good, but some of them work for the lowest wage in the convenience store.

“This can't be happening. ”

If the other alumni had gone that well, I could congratulate them.

Choi Chang-hyuk, a man. He wasn't that petty.

“Then why Yi Hyuk? ”

The only one among my classmates who wished me the best of luck. I felt like a fool when I heard I was missing on Black Monday.

“Why is Lee Hyuk such a hotshot? ”

George smiled and said.

“It's Lee Hyuk, so why don't you get lost? ”

“Huh?"

“He's either successful or he's a loser. We are afraid, so we can't challenge easily, but Ji-hyuk is not afraid to speak nicely, and he's not afraid to speak badly. ”

“… Yes. ”

I could see Lee Hyuk's passing dragon tattoo men rushing among the ten people who had stepped on his shoes. I was beaten to a pulp, but I beat the shit out of them.

Ordinary people wouldn't want to fight even if they had the ability to fight ten people.

“Wait, isn't this just a nasty personality? ”

“... I don't know what you're talking about, but it's hard to empathize. ”

George nods slowly.

“I think they're coming in. ”

“Yes, it is. ”

Lee Hyuk turned off his cigarette and was coming into the store.

Jung Jeong-min also followed Lee Hyuk closely afterwards.

When the door opened and Lee Hyuk entered the room, it was filled with awkward air again.

Most of them could not accept the situation in front of them.

“What's wrong with the atmosphere? ”

Lee Hyuk tilted his head.

Choe Chang-hyuk noticed, and Choi Min-mi bit her lips and opened her mouth.

“So, what's the deal? ”

“Huh?"

“You and Jung-min. ”

Choe Chang-hyuk ‘Oh!’ I looked at my best.

I only noticed once, but I can't believe I'm about to blow up a rock like this.

Bravo, my man.

I thought I'd look like a father or at least a fool, but Lee Hyuk replied casually.

“Colleagues at work. ”

“Phew.”

It was Jeongmin who opened her mouth to Lee Hyuk's answer.

And that scene shocked Choi Chang-hyuk again.

‘Oh, no, you're not. ’

shall not.

At the very least, this relationship should be a relationship that Lee Hyuk is clinging to. What do Jung Jeong-min have to lose to a participant like Yi Hyuk?

“Just a coworker? ”

“What? ”

“No.”

Jung-min drank the beer in front of his eyes without saying anything.

And groaning came from the mouths of others who were watching.

‘This is not... ’

This was not in many ways.

“Hahaha, Mr. Hamin. I'll buy you a drink. ”

When Choi Chang-hyuk tried to change the atmosphere, Jung Jung-min smiled freshly and replied.

“Oh, I don't drink. ”

“ ……. ”

So what you just drank was water?

The bubbles in that glass haven't worn off yet. What do you mean?

“Well, I see. Coke, then.”

“It's okay. I'll join you. ”

Choi Chang-hyuk shrugged his shoulders and returned to his seat.

"Iron Wall Girl."

Choi Hyuk shakes his head.

“By the way, Jihyuk. ”

Lee Hyuk looked at you as he opened his mouth.

“Huh?"

“There's a rumor going around that you're preparing for some kind of operation this time. Can I be here? I heard all the NDFs are in emergency……. ”

“Oh, that? ”

Lee Hyuk replied as if it wasn't a big deal.

“It's okay, I... ”

“Why?”

“I had nothing to do with this operation. There are only two surplus in NDF, one is me and the other is……. ”

Lee Hyuk glanced around, and Jung-min opened her eyes.

“Because I'm not. ”

“… yes. ”

“You may be, but this time I'm just not the right type! Who's more important to the NDF than me? ”

“Jung-hoon Choi.”

“… except for that guy. ”

Even though Jung-min is a teleporter, he can't be more important than Jung-hoon.

Jung Jeong-min also acknowledged. Even in her view, NDF did not return without Jung-hoon Choi.

“Come on, let's have a drink. ”

At the words of Choi Chang-hyuk, everyone raised their glasses.

“To!”

Lee Hyuk frowned after drinking soju.

“You're not very good at drinking, are you? ”

“I don't know why the drinks are so bad in this neighborhood. I just want to get over it once and get my drink filled. ”

Bring Beraph's liquor and sell it, he'll make a fortune. You don't have to because you've already made enough money.

“Hey, Ji-hyuk. ”

Min Jung suddenly came to my side and took a drink and poured it into Lee Hyuk's cup.

“Huh?"

“Having a hard time at work? ”

“Is it hard?”

Lee Hyuk tilted his head.

Why didn't you say it was hard or not?

“What's so convenient about sucking other people's money? ”

“That's what a guy who plays six days a week says? ”

“... Working a day is hard. ”

“Lazy bastard.”

Minho's face twitched.

Her outburst made her feel twisted by Jung-min's incompetence to take the topic naturally.

“What do you usually do? ”

“Me?”

“Yes, you. If you work for NDF, you'll usually do something different than KSF. ”

Everyone looked at Min Jung and Lee Hyuk. Actually, it was one of my questions. The media coverage of NDF's direct activities was thoroughly controlled, although rumors about NDF's activities abroad were widespread.

In fact, if we fight the Demon King, and if we can't stop Lee Ji-hyuk, we can't report in the media that the world is already destroyed.

The media that knew the facts were also controlling themselves.

The world is too dangerous to discuss the right to know.

“Monster slap. ”

“So it's not that different from KSF? ”

“Beating up tough monsters. Well, what difference does it make? ”

Lee Hyuk smiled.

“Oh.”

It seemed to others that the words were reflected in the words of Jesus, but Lee Hyuk meant what he said.

It's just that they are a little different from the region, but what Lee Hyuk does and what other talents do is essentially no different. When monsters came in, they could be tied down and explained.

“I see.”

Minjung smiled a little.

“So the next time you go hunt monsters, why don't you take me with you? ”

“Huh?"

“I'm curious. I miss you. ”

Lee Hyuk looked back at the resolutions.

“I don't think so. Civilian control."

“I heard that you have some strength there, can't you do it? ”

It was a slight scratch on my ego. Lee Hyuk replied with a slight glare on his face.

“Of course not. ”

“To?”

“What did I say? ”

Lee Hyuk dug his ears and whistled with his mouth.

“Don't do it, don't do it. If I say I shouldn't do it, I only see the damage. And then later, when you ask me why I told you not to do it, I have nothing to say. ”

“Mmm-hmm. ”

This isn't working.

The plan has changed the way.

“Well, can't you let me in there once? ”

“Inside? ”

“Capable Housing. ”

“Huh?"

Lee Hyuk tilted his head. It's not a tourist attraction, it's just a building. Why do you want to go in there?

“That sounds weird. What do you want to see there? ”

“You're curious.”

“There?”

“Yeah. You guys go in every day. I don't know, but we can't, so I want to. ”

Lee Hyuk snorted.

“Hey, when I get in there.... ”

Boom!

At that moment, the door opened roughly.

I looked back at the door in surprise and saw the familiar face of Lee Hyuk.

“Da, Da Som? ”
