39 – 039. Partner

Kang Haneul.

A minor villain who attacked and defeated the heroine of the original work, Midgyeol, and then blackened her and tried to harm her once again, but was punished by her main character, Ryu Tae-hyun…… It’s a shame to say that it’s a bad villain.

There was also a situation where such a character suddenly dropped out, but more than that, the question was why Min Chaeryeong stopped that character from dropping out.

I was curious about that, so I asked Min Chaeryeong why, but the answer that came back was silent.

He had his own reason, so he must have made me work while mentioning how to make up for the last mistake, but I was very anxious because I didn’t know the reason. It felt like I was playing as Min Chaeryeong’s puppet.

…… It seems that there is a need to independently investigate Kang Ha-neul.

Thought so, I went back home, devising my own countermeasures.

So the next day.

Before I went to meet my professor Do So-young to hear about Kang Ha-neul, what awaited me when I went to work as a special affairs department was news like a lightning bolt from Lee Tae-ho.

“………… Yes?”

Yes. It was shocking news like a thunderbolt from the blue sky.

“Do I hear you right? Are you asking me to make vegetable lotus and two-man cell?”

“Yes.”

I couldn’t hide my bewilderment at Lee Tae-ho’s cool nod.

Two Mansell. Roughly speaking, two people in one group.

Basically, the two-man-cell principle is the principle for the guards in all missions, whether special or general. In my case, I made a temporary two-man cell with Cho Yu-ri or Lee Tae-ho.

Perhaps if you officially form a two-man cell, you will be with Lee Tae-ho. I was expecting that in the middle of the day. Originally, the partner of the vegetable research institute was Lee Tae-ho, and I joined the special task force as if replacing the missing vegetable research institute due to the safe house mission.

But what do you mean when you mix two mancell with a vegetable kite?

“Isn’t Chae So-yeon being sent outside because of a mission given to her by her team leader?”

“She said that the dispatch mission ended as of yesterday. From today, I will officially go to work.”

“But didn’t you?”

“…… Just a little late I still have 10 minutes left until work time.”

Apart from when Chae So-yeon goes to work, her official attendance itself was the first time in a while. Wasn’t she Ji Ye-won’s supervisor and bodyguard? But if she returns to the Special Investigation Department from today, who will be protecting her safe house?

That’s not to say Min Chae-ryeong didn’t have a thought either. She would have taken some action, whether it was a separate bodyguard or something, but that wasn’t the important thing.

“That, senior. Isn’t Chae-yeon originally the senior’s partner? But why are you hitting on me……. No, why did I become your new partner?”

“Good question. There are two reasons for that. First of all. Originally an assistant to the team leader, I do not have a formal two-man cell relationship with other members. My normal work is to assist the team leader and manage the team members under his command. In the case of Chae Yeon, she was a temporary partner during the period of joining and adapting.”

“Aha.”

At the same time as the question was resolved, a new question came to mind.

“…… But, then, shouldn’t I, who just came to the special department, have to be taken care of by the senior? Even though he came in half a year early, he is my classmate.”

“That’s the second reason.”

“Yes?”

What is that?

“Since he said that he had been interacting with the vegetable research institute before coming to the Special Investigation Department, you should know what kind of guy he is.”

“He is a guy who has both ignorance and ignorance.”

“I don’t like to belittle people, but that’s a pretty good summary.”

Lee Tae-ho, who glanced at me, cautiously continued.

“Creating Chae So Yeon and Two Man Cells is a job that requires a lot of mental burden. Whether inside or outside of work. I pride myself on having strong mental strength to withstand such stress, but it was difficult even for me to endure the two-man cell for the past half year with the vegetable research institute.”

“Yes… ….”

“How much more so would the other members of Team 2. As you may know, Team 2 is a team made up of people who were selected by team leader Min Chaeryeong after looking at only two things: personality and skill. So, in terms of organizational life, there are somewhat uneasy parts. For example, even my classmate Cho Yu-ri is second to none in the special department in terms of combat skills, but he has androphobia, an element that can cause obstacles in daily social work.”

It is not only applicable to Cho Yu-ri. Other personnel also have so-called ‘flaws’ in terms of personality. After adding that, Lee Tae-ho looked at me with disgust.

“It is risky in terms of work to have such a close relationship with other team members. In that respect, Ahn Soo-ho, I thought I could be relieved if it was you.”

“…… Yes?”

“A polite attitude with a non-angular personality. He has basic social common sense and is good at the art of living. If you’re like that, I thought you could survive the two-man cell with Vegetable Yeon.”

“………… Yes?”

“Besides, don’t you two coincide with each other? There must be something missing between the senior and the successor. Yes, if you take care of him as a motive and work hard with each other-“

“Me, senior.”

Lee Tae-ho’s body trembled at the cold voice that came out of my mouth.

“That is a presumptuous remark. In the end, I’m the one who doesn’t have the most time, so I’ll hit the vegetable kite, isn’t it?”

“…… It is a predicated word. The point of keeping the minimum manners even when dealing with unreasonable things like that. Because I valued that point, I made you a partner in the vegetable industry-“

“What if I say no?”

“I’m sorry, Ahn Soo-ho! I’m so sorry! Can you please forgive this incompetent senior just this once!”

Lee Tae-ho said that while lowering his head.

“As long as Chae So-yeon’s comeback has been decided, someone has to make a two-man cell with her! However, there are only two people on our team who can deal with her annoying little boy! It’s hard to say with my mouth, but even with the exception of Chae-yeon, most of the team members of Team 2 have personal flaws!”

“No, then why don’t you take the senior with you again?”

“I am!”

Lee Tae-ho raised his head and looked at me. A gloomy glare flashed in both of their eyes.

“I am exhausted…… !”

I couldn’t help but nod my head at that desperate cry that vomited out as if pulled from the depths of my chest.

Here, there was a man who suffered from a lizard-like lizard for half a year.

There was a man who was freed from her after half a year and enjoyed her freedom.

And the man never wanted to let go of the freedom he had once enjoyed.

“…… I can help you with the business part. I will adjust the usual workload to the lowest level. I’ll make it easier for you on off-hours, like night patrol. This is something that not only me but also the team leader agreed with.”

“I see… ….”

If the story had reached that point, it was practically confirmed. No, even if it’s something that hasn’t been confirmed yet, seeing him start a game against the vegetable industry, I felt sorry for rejecting it.

How many times have you suffered like this?

Suddenly, the faint smile that had been on his face for the past week came to mind. I thought he smiled well, but was that actually the joy of liberation?

“Then it doesn’t matter. All right. I’ll make a vegetable kite and a two-man cell.”

“…… Thanks.”

“Then, starting today, can I act as a two-man cell? There was something personally received from the team leader.”

“Yes. I hope so. I think it would be more comfortable for me to not have Chae-yeon in the office.”

I tried to smile when I saw Lee Tae-ho openly saying that she prefers not to have a vegetable relationship. I decided to think positively.

Self-motivated departments are discontinued on a year-by-year basis, starting in April with public loans. And Chae-yeon was the only member of Team 2 who was in sync with me. It would be more convenient in many ways to be with her, who is her classmate, rather than her senior members.

As if halfway brainwashing myself, I repeated that to myself.

If I didn’t do that, I felt like I would openly put on a displeased face in front of Lee Tae-ho.

***

…… But currently.

On the way to her lab after making an appointment with Professor Do So-young, I could only sigh.

It is dark in front of my eyes. Even though it was daytime, it was dark in front of my eyes.

I blankly looked up at the sky. The sky of early spring, after winter was over, was extremely clear, and it was a scene that made my heart feel at ease just looking at it, but even so, this sh*tty feeling didn’t get any better.

“Bambam → Cheek → Ba~bam↗! Boom→Bambam→Ba↘Bam↗! Bam → Bam → Bba~Bam↗! Bambam→Bambam→Pa↘Bam↗!”

Chae Yeon walked with frequent steps in front of her while she was humming the OST of Mission Im ○ Serve with her mouth. It wasn’t a big deal in itself, but it was a strangely disrespectful act.

“Para bar~~~ cancer. Para ba~~~~ Cancer. Para ba~~~~~~~~ Cancer. Babam!”

What is she so excited about? She keeps humming her song.

Her students passed by her and looked at her strangely. She wasn’t humming by herself in her house, and since she was doing that on the boulevard in broad daylight, it was no wonder that she wondered.

She was ashamed of her walking, so she slowed down her pace, and Chae-yeon, who recognized her like a knife, turned her head away.

“What! Why are you walking so late?”

“I am ashamed, I am ashamed. Can you please shut up and walk? What are you so excited about?”

“Surely excited!”

Chae So-yeon smiled broadly. The soft cheeks were strongly emphasized.

“You said that the team leader personally entrusted you with this mission? That means it’s a very important mission! If you finish this job well, you will be able to make up for the mistake you made last time!”

“Last mistake?”

Vegetable Year She wondered if she did something creepy like me, but she belatedly nodded her head. Perhaps she is telling me what caught my watch.

I thought she wouldn’t care about that at all, but to my surprise.

“Yes. Good luck. Please don’t be ignorant and fire the Taser this time.”

“I’ll take care of myself!”

“It’s hard to do well on your own.”

At my criticism, Chae-yeon puffed up her cheeks. In real life, there really are people who puff out their cheeks like blowfish just because they are angry.

No, this is just a novel.

“Hey. Ahn Soo-ho. Are you being a bit cheeky with your words? How dare you look at seniors!”

“What is a senior? You and I are classmates for one year, right?”

“Where is that! If you came in first, you’re a senior, if you came in late, you’re a junior! And no matter how outwardly motives are, you don’t have to keep the minimum courtesy!”

“You did that last time. Why are people of the same age so picky about each other?”

“Eh?”

That was what she said the first time she met Yewon Ji. A question mark floated above the head of Chae-yeon. Soon she recalled her memories of that day as she pursed her lips and stamped her feet.

“Come to think of it, I said something like that that day. If I go over to the special department, I won’t dare to even look at you in my spare time. But what about this Instead of not meeting each other, we made it two-man cell so that the classmates do well together.”

“This, profit!”

“Anyway, let’s do well, motive. If you don’t know anything, ask me.”

“Hey!!!”

As if he couldn’t stand it any longer at my giggling, the vegetable kite rushed at me. Her clenched fist drew an arc and headed for my chest.

However.

– Chin!

The attack was easily undone. Chae-yeon’s eyes widened, as if she was surprised that her arm, which she swung with her sincerity, was lightly blocked.

Originally, the physical abilities of Jagwa-yeon and I were boiling. Her supernatural ability was excellent, but because of that supernatural power, her usual body specifications were slightly better than me in the past, who was below the level of a superhuman.

Her woman, Hyuk’s musculoskeletal alignment, greatly improved, and my specs were already far above hers.

I said as I looked down at the vegetable kite that was almost hanging on to me with her arm caught in her arms.

“I told you that. Jung: If you want to be treated like a senior, show yourself like a senior. What kind of senior is it to start by stabbing a guy called a junior just because he said a few things?”

“What!!”

Chae So-yeon shook my hand and screamed.

“Seniors can beat their juniors with their hands. What are you doing with that? Originally, seniors are allowed to hit juniors?! There’s nothing like a fist to bring a disobedient person to his senses!”

“Wow.”

It was truly outdated values. Even in the army these days, the senior won’t beat the successor openly. Or is it that in this world, beatings in the military or in the workplace are still rampant?

“…… If you really think that way, try giving it to Taeho sunbaenim as it is. Maybe you will like it very much?”

No matter how much Lee Tae-ho does, he will beat her with pleasure if she says that she is defeated. She must have accumulated a lot in the past.

“??? Does Taeho sunbaenim like me? Why?”

However, Jasmine Yeon didn’t understand what I was saying at all. It wasn’t that she didn’t understand the meaning, but rather that she didn’t realize that she herself was the cause of her stress for Lee Tae-ho.

Do fools say life is happy? Looking at that face that seemed to have no worries or worries unlike me, I felt a little bit envious even though I sighed.

“…… How nice it would be if I could live my life like you.”

“Is that a compliment?”

“Yes. It’s a compliment.”

“Really?”

Even though it was a sarcastic remark, Vegetable Yeon laughed as if she was very happy with that one word of praise. It was a face that didn’t seem to have any worries at all. This is Min Chae-ryeong, the dawn team, the Pleasure Heaven Mani, the original incident, so there is no day when my worries and worries don’t go away.

“If you envy my life, take me as a role model and learn! Watching and copying from the side is free!”

Seeing her confidently shouting out her flat chest with all her might, she suddenly remembered a proverb she had heard in her original world.

Yes. Surely fools have happy lives, it was a maxim like that.

It’s a word that really suits the vegetable season. I had a sudden thought. Perhaps the life reflected in her eyes is full of pink flower fields.

She thought she was a bit envious until just a moment ago, but now that she thinks about it again, she doesn’t seem to have much to envy.
