81 – 081. Request from the departed

The research institute headed by Na Ju-yong is the Superhuman Rehabilitation Research Institute under Yeoil Group.

Although it is said to be a place where illegal research of multiple abilities is being conducted behind the scenes, it was a very ordinary laboratory on the outside. The field of research was also extremely ordinary and could contribute to society, such as treatment methods for superhumans with disabilities in physical or psychic abilities and helping them rehabilitate.

And Ji Ye-won decided to infiltrate the ‘sunny’ part to monitor Min Chae-ryeong’s mission, Director Na Ju-yong.

“There is a cleaning service company hired by the lab, and I decided to infiltrate the lab as an employee there. A total of 43 employees were employed in the research center and its surrounding facilities. If that’s enough, even if I add one more person, I don’t think I’ll be very noticeable.”

There are sectors divided into a total of three security levels in the Superhuman Rehabilitation Research Institute, and cleaning company employees were only allowed access to sector 1, which has the lowest security level. However, being able to enter the laboratory through a legal route was enough for Ji Ye-won.

“Anyway, the specific mission details.”

The gist of the mission was this.

First, Ji Ye-won, who infiltrated as a cleaning company employee, attaches various monitoring and wiretapping devices to Sector 1 inside the laboratory. Through this, she monitors every move of Director Na Ju-yong and his aides, and sees an opportunity to attach surveillance equipment to sectors 2 and 3 to monitor the internal situation. In this process, whenever possible, she collects concrete evidence of where and how multi-ability research is being conducted.

Ahn Soo-ho, who heard Ji Ye-won’s explanation, bit his molars hard.

“…… Isn’t that too dangerous?”

Infiltration into secure areas and installation of surveillance equipment. If you get caught, you won’t be able to avoid legal punishment. What if her true identity is exposed in the process?

‘No, legal punishment is better. What if Na Joo-yong uses an illegal method against Ji Ye-won?’

On the outside, he may appear to be a highly reputed scholar, but the essence of Na Ju-yong is a villain. Therefore, there was a possibility that she would mobilize illegal methods as much as possible.

For example, in order to find out what happened behind her, her Ji Yewon, after capturing her, tortured her severely.

Ahn Su-ho resented Min Chae-ryeong, who was not here. She clearly said that she would consider Yewon Ji not to be in danger as much as possible to herself, but is this the result? Dark wrinkles formed between Ahn Soo-ho’s forehead at the simmering anger.

Ji Ye-won, who was watching Ahn Su-ho, said with a smile.

“Don’t worry. No matter how you look at it, I’m a good spy. She’s been a student at the academy for four years, and no one noticed that I was a member of the Dawning. Is not it?”

“But… ….”

“If something goes wrong, you can just run away. She even ran away against the Dawning, but I wonder if she can’t get past a single member of the lab staff. Besides, I also have the ‘this’ you gave me.”

Yewon Ji brushed her hair on the side behind her ear. Then her cross of cold flame, which her hands had given her, was revealed. A transparent cross studded with red jewels shimmered and swayed in the light of the electric lamp.

The Cross of Cold Flame is a powerful artifact that was active even in the second half of the original work. When a crisis threatens Ji Ye-won’s life, she will definitely shine.

However, Ahn Suho still couldn’t hide his anxious expression. Shall we negotiate with Min Chae-ryeong once again and cancel her mission to Ji Ye-won?

The moment she thought that, Ji Ye-Won smiled heartily and pulled Ahn Su-Ho’s nape towards her.

– Imprisoned.

She held Ahn Soo-ho’s head in her own arms. Like a mother praising her admirable child, she spoke playfully, stroking his head slowly.

“Oh gu oh gu. Are you worried that our Suho-noona will get hurt?”

“…… What is your sister Am I a year older than you?”

“It’s because it’s admirable that you care, it’s admirable.”

“Oh no…… “

Ahn Suho spat out the sound of swearing, but he did not reject Ji Yewon’s touch. Not long after washing, the pleasant scent of shampoo tickled his nose.

“…… This job is more dangerous than you think.”

With his face buried in Ji Ye-won’s arms, Ahn Su-ho spoke softly.

“I don’t mean to disparage your skills, but the opponent is Yeoil Group, which is famous for being the next largest conglomerate next to Hansung Group. Besides, as long as it is a laboratory conducting illegal research, the level of security will be much stricter than that of the Green House. No matter how you are, spying in a place like that is dangerous-“

“Well, is that okay?”

“What the hell did you say was okay from earlier?”

Feeling frustrated, Ahn Su-ho looked up at Ji Ye-won. Ji Ye-Won’s straight eyes that worry about her are momentarily apologetic.

‘Thank you for your concern, but I can’t help it.’

Although it is said that Ahn Su-ho had a discussion about Min Chae-ryeong and Ji Ye-won’s problem a few days ago, in essence, the relationship between Min Chae-ryeong and Ji Ye-won was a thorough one-for-one relationship.

There are many factors, but apart from everything else, Ye-Won Ji needed Min Chae-Ryeong’s help to find her best friend, Min-A Kim. And Min Chaeryeong knew that fact better than anyone else.

So Min Chaeryeong told Ji Yewon a fact.

She said that she had obtained information on Mina Kim’s whereabouts.

The moment she heard that, the option of rejecting Min Chae-ryeong’s order to Ji Ye-won disappeared. It didn’t matter if it was true or false. She was prepared to throw herself into the fire for her best friend who had changed her life, if there was any chance of her own.

So Ji Ye-won couldn’t say that she would give up her mission, even though she felt sorry for Ahn Soo-ho, who worried about her.

And An Su-ho also did not know all the context of her work, but he vaguely guessed the context from the atmosphere that emanated from her.

“…… Ji Ye-won.”

“Yes.”

“Don’t get hurt. If there is any danger, run away. At all times, your safety is our top priority. Got it?”

“Yes. I will.”

So while Suho Ahn endured the pain as if her intestines were being cut, she could only say that.

After those words, a heavy silence fell between the two.

A warm spring afternoon. A refreshing spring breeze came in through the half-open window and brushed past them.

“…… The research center is in Yongin, so I got a temporary room nearby. I will probably live there for a while.”

“When are you leaving?”

“The day after tomorrow.”

“I will give up my restaurant part-time job.”

“Yes. I couldn’t work for a while, but I felt sorry for quitting. The work is fun in its own way, and the store manager and other seniors have been very nice to me.”

“It’s a pity that you quit. If I had known this would happen, I would have visited more often.”

“Why. I’m working hard, so you want to come and harass me?”

“Uh. If not, when will I listen to you with respect?”

“Chit. I knew it.”

The two of them said that and burst into laughter at the same time. The serious atmosphere from a while ago became lighter as if it were a lie. Ahn Su-ho liked the comfort he could feel from Ji Ye-won.

Yes. Ji Ye-won was almost the only existence that Ahn Soo-ho could deal with without any calculation.

Until yesterday, Kang Ha-neul was also like that. Because of today’s incident, doubts about Kang Ha-neul started to sprout in him.

“An Su-ho.”

At that time, Ji Ye-won called Ahn Su-ho in a slightly subdued voice.

“If I move to Yongin this time, I won’t be back there for a few weeks. So, in the meantime, I will give you some homework.”

“Homework?”

“Yes. Homework.”

“What kind of homework is this all of a sudden? What is it?”

“Kang Haneul.”

Ahn Suho’s expression hardened at that name.

“Until I come back, solve all the problems with Kang Ha-neul. Don’t hesitate indecisively. If he’s hiding something, reveal it and clear up any misunderstandings.”

“Okay. I will.”

“And. Make up your mind.”

“What?”

Ji Ye-won took a deep breath. As she inhales and exhales her shoulders rise and she falls again.

“I like you. And Kang Ha-neul likes you too.”

She said calmly, trying to hold on to her trembling voice.

“So, I want you to make up your mind. Choose me, choose him, or choose both legs. If you’re going to cross your legs, don’t sneak it, just do it openly. Because that makes me feel better.”

It was such a sudden statement. She was talking about Ji Ye-won’s mission, but why is the story of Chi Jeong suddenly appearing? Ahn Suho thought so.

However, the relationship between the three was as important to Ji Ye-won as her own duties.

She doesn’t know what happens between him and Kang Ha-neul while she is away from Ahn Su-ho.

So Ji Ye-won rather stepped forward and told her to properly organize the relationship between the three. She thought it would make her feel a little more comfortable doing that.

Originally, she wanted to wait for Ahn Su-ho’s choice with enough time. On the day the two actually made love, Ji Ye-won said to Ahn Su-ho that it is okay for her to answer after thinking about it enough.

However, when she left him for a long time, she felt a piercing feeling in her heart.

That’s nervousness.

Anxiety.

And it was selfishness.

Actually, Ji Ye-won wanted Ahn Su-ho to abandon Kang Ha-neul and choose her. When she found out that Ahn Su-ho was suspicious of Kang Ha-neul. When she asked to consult herself on the matter. At that moment, a bad thought flashed through Ji Ye-won’s mind for a very short time.

If you use this opportunity as an opportunity to separate Ahn Su-ho and Kang Ha-neul.

What if Ahn Su-ho makes Kang Ha-neul unbelievable?

What if the two of them become awkward and distance themselves from each other?

Then I wondered if Ahn Soo-ho would look only at himself.

However, Ji Ye-won immediately shook her head and brushed off her selfish feelings. And soon guilt took its place.

It is absurd to feel guilty towards the other person in a love affair relationship. Nevertheless, the reason Ji Ye-won felt a little guilty towards Kang Ha-neul was entirely because of what happened on that day.

‘That Day’. Ahn Su-ho, Kang Ha-neul, Ji Ye-won, and Vegetable Yeon. The day the four of you had a drink like this. Ji Ye-won was clearly aware of Kang Ha-neul’s love affair with Ahn Su-ho.

Because I noticed it, I made love to Ahn Su-ho while avoiding Kang Ha-neul with the excuse of drinking alcohol.

It was selfish, but originally love was selfish. He had no intention of apologizing to Kang Ha-neul for that matter. However, it was undeniable that it made me feel a little sorry.

So, Ji Ye-won wanted An Su-ho to make a clear choice.

Whether he chooses himself, Kang Ha-neul, or both, or neither.

Ji Ye-won thought that if Ahn Su-ho himself made a choice in any form, he would be able to understand the result.

…… He could understand it, he believed earnestly in himself.

“…… Okay. Okay.”

Hearing Ji Ye-won’s request, An Su-ho pondered for a long time before answering.

Apart from revealing Kang Ha-neul’s identity, answering her heart properly was also something Suho Ahn had to do. Ji Ye-won said she was nothing more than a reminder of that fact.

This time, as she solves her problem with the river sky, let her draw a clear conclusion about what she has in her heart for me as well.

Ji Ye-won said to Ahn Soo-ho who thought so, smiling vaguely, as if sad or happy.

“Yes. Good idea.”

***

A softly lit office.

In front of a luxurious desk with a nameplate reading ‘Executive Director Midsummer’, Midsummer with a bored expression on her face was buried deep in her chair, immersed in her thoughts.

In front of her was a bright white tablet screen. On that screen, the contents of the meeting about the ‘Knight’s Tomb’ dungeon yesterday appeared.

What caught Midsummer’s attention was, among other things, the content about the dungeon’s master monster, as stated by the S-class superman who was the leader of the expedition.

Han Yong-soo, an S-class superman, fought with Wilhelm to the very end while guarding the back row when the expedition team escaped.

Thanks to the fact that he woke up after not being conscious until recently, at this meeting, we were able to learn many new facts that we hadn’t known before.

For example, the owner monster who calls himself Wilhelm is fiercely looking for someone he calls a ‘fugitive’, and that someone means a man who entered the dungeon before the expedition team and fought Wilhelm before fleeing.

Midsummer turned her gaze to the corner of the screen. There, at the present moment, a picture of the man Wilhelm was looking for, considered to be the “Fugitive,” Had surfaced.

[ A security guard belonging to Team 2 of the Special Countermeasures Division of the Green House Guard. Ahn Soo-ho. ]

A picture of Ahn Su-ho.

“… ….”

Looking at that photo, Midsummer’s expressionless face became slightly lively.

It had been a long time since someone interested her appeared.
