Chapter 17 – Abduction
” Ah···· “
After staring blankly at the clock on my phone, I eventually got annoyed and threw it away, and I had no intention of picking it up even when I saw it pathetically rolling on the floor.
Rather, it seemed that the stress was accumulating.
‘ One week····. ‘
When I was washing my face, I rolled my eyes and checked the small calendar on my desk.
It was a time when I was confined to this place, to the house.
At first, there was a corner that could be endured.
While talking with them, it was fun to get information to get more familiar with the hunters and the reverse world that I didn’t know well.
But even that didn’t last long.
The subject matter is gone.
In the end, the gaze moved to the cell phone, and now it has become a feeling that this place is nothing more than a hideout to them.
As the tension dropped, I naturally started using my cell phone, and the house began to turn into a place where only necessary words were spoken as usual.
Besides, the guys couldn’t use this place.
I used to take care of lodging somewhere else, but thanks to that, I was always left alone in this spacious house.
It was just that in the morning and evening, one person would come into the house, check my safety while using my cell phone, and if I was bored, I would exchange shifts again with a few words.
It was just that there was no soldier on duty next to him, but it was just the officer on duty who was on duty.
To be honest, I’ve noticed it over the past few days.
It was to the point where I doubted whether the men who laughed and talked so much back then were the right ones.
Rather, the sudden absence of words made it more difficult to adapt.
However, humans are also animals of adaptation.
Bored boredom was enough of a reason to adapt me as if I didn’t care about such things.
Leisure time was left over every day.
So I watched movies and dramas, but Jindeuk was not the type to sit and watch for a long time in the first place, so I quickly got bored.
So this time I played a computer and I was enjoying it for quite a while.
I lost my original purpose and focused only on the game.
But apart from the fact that there are a lot of kind people everywhere asking how their parents are doing, there are a few trolls and other guys who play in weird ways.
Why do guys like that always get caught on my team in team play games?
And what I see.
I wanted to go out thinking that it was so pathetic that I had come all the way to this place and was playing games, but as expected, I was confined.
Realizing that, I practiced cooking, which I hadn’t done before, but the rising stress was not easily controlled.
“Ha-I think I’m going crazy.”
Clearly I was a homebody.
However, when I was stressed out, wearing wireless earphones and listening to music while walking without thinking was my way of relieving stress, but I had no choice but to become sensitive as it was controlled.
The desire to get out and the unexplained stress caused by being imprisoned unreasonably.
Everything seemed to work in combination.
You can’t miss it I didn’t get a call today unexpectedly… ‘
As a result, I even developed a strange habit.
That is why I unintentionally waited for my mother’s call.
Her mother, who calls me every 2 hours, made her nerves even sharper, so she answered right away, but she didn’t even know my stress, and she was happy that she answered the phone so quickly.
No, it was just because I didn’t know if I didn’t do that, I might die from neurosis.
” I woke up early today? “
Kim Myeong-woon, who had come in carefree, smiled at me, took off his shoes, and jumped on the sofa like in the living room of his own house.
“Brother, can’t I just go out and come back?”
“Of course not. Our request is to keep you safe here.”
“Ha- Seriously, hyung… I’m going crazy. Being quarantined for a week… The stress that wasn’t there keeps piling up…”
“Hmm-“
He looked at me and said he was sorry.
“Ji Sang-i really fully understands your feelings. I think it would be the case even if it were me. But, a request is a request.”
‘Should I fall over? ‘
Because of the guy who always said the same thing with a macro, my fickle mind was wriggling again.
But even if he went out, he would almost certainly be caught.
Even more so in the yard where the security company is waiting in the first place.
No, I wondered if I would be able to leave the front door on my own.
A hunter equivalent to class A vs me with low physical strength.
It was a video without even watching.
” Ha····. “
“I’m going to turn off the floor.”
At that time, a believer entered the house, smiled and waved two envelopes.
“What is that?”
“Ah- this is food on the ground.”
” Aha- “
“Hyung- can’t I just let him go out once? No, even if I can’t, let me go around at least once.
“Sorry, it’s a request…”
“I know very well that it’s a request. The hyungs are aware of what kind of penalty they will face if they fail the request… But you’re asking. Ha, please- just close your eyes once, okay?”
At my words that were close to pleading, they sighed and only touched their heads.
“Ha… Honestly, I wonder if it’s right to go this far.”
Shin Do-won put the envelope down in one place and sat down on his seat.
“To be honest, I understand the ground very well. Don’t you too?”
” . . . That’s right.”
“Even we only go out to the convenience store. And that’s only when we go to buy food for him…”
“It’s a request though.”
“Yes, that’s right. A request. A request… Ha- But we’re losing too much because of one thing called a request…”
At Shin Do-won’s words, Kim Myung-woon tightly closed his mouth.
In fact, the guys were patient too.
To be honest, I wondered if they would go out and come back, but I guess not.
“Hyungs… Didn’t you go outside…?”
“I told you. It’s only when you buy me something to eat? Working in two shifts all day, where’s the time to go out? We should sleep too…”
‘I wasn’t the only one suffering. ‘
In a way, they were also victims.
It’s just that they came here voluntarily, so I couldn’t complain.
“Why did the hyungs say they were doing this…?”
“Of course, it was a simple and easy request.”
“That’s right. I was looking for a request to do while taking a break, and this is what I saw right away, even giving me a lot of money.”
“How much were you supposed to get?”
“Hmm- that’s a secret. This is something that only the client can tell…”
“Kim Myung-woon, you bastard.
“Because what is stated is what is stated.”
“400 million.”
” Uh? “
” Ha····. “
Shin Do-won revealed the amount as if it was not a big deal, and Kim Myung-woon made a puzzled expression.
“Honestly, I was surprised that Ms. Kang Se was the client, but when she heard that she had 400 million, her head turned even more.”
“That’s right…”
With a feeling of desperation, Kim Myung-woon finally started to fight back.
“No, well. I had no choice but to tell you the key points and send 200 million won directly to my account as an advance deposit. Yes- I have no choice but to do that.”
” Yes. “
Even if it was me, I couldn’t help but nod my head.
To shoot 200 million won right away was 200,000 won, or even 20,000 won, and my hands were sore.
“Hmm-hmm- is this a secret…?
” Don’t worry. “
The guy asked me with a desperate expression, probably realizing that he had made a mistake, and I nodded without saying anything.
What a difficult thing
“You just blew 200 million, Shin Do-won.”
“Jeep-what do you think? It means that our relationship with the ground is that close…”
“Crazy.”
“Ha- Anyway. That’s it, and I’m really frustrated right now. I feel like I did it for nothing…”
“I just looked at it funny. Haha…”
The guys sighed and their expressions darkened, and at the same time I smiled inwardly.
This might make it a lot easier to coax.
“The purpose is perfect. Me and the hyungs all want to go out.”
“But because of the request…”
“That’s right. The hyungs are tied up because of the dog-like condition of ‘request.’
“Of course I’m leaving.”
” Admit. “
Neither of them raised their hands and shouted to each other, and I continued with a slight smile.
“Have you received anything else during the contract?”
“Did you get it?”
“So, equipment…”
“There was no such thing. It was just a contract to protect you well.”
“That’s right, why is that…? Could it be you…”
“That’s right. Let’s go out.”
“No! Then everyone dies!”
“That’s right! You really know what we’re going to do!”
“Think about it. How does my girlfriend know that her brothers and I went out?”
“That’s it…”
Shin Do-won thought for a while, then tilted his head.
“Look at that. You won’t know. There is no surveillance equipment in the first place, so how do you know? Besides, even influential people are recruited like this. In fact, isn’t this just eating rice cake while lying down?”
“I heard and saw it…”
” That’s right····. “
The guys started to waver at my suggestion.
And I looked at it and pretended to be relaxed.
“Then, there is only one obstacle. That security company. That. How about it? Isn’t it worth it…?”
“Hmm – you’re all right on the ground… But Hunter is troubled when he harms people…”
Kim Myung-woon made a puzzled expression, but Shin Do-won smiled and continued.
“If that’s the case, don’t worry.”
” What? “
The guy thought for a while as if he was searching for something, and soon something came to his hand.
When I was playing marbles, there were three blue marbles in size, and each of them was handed to me and Kim Myung-un.
” What’s this? “
“I prepared it just in case because of the gate. It’s a stealth marble, so monsters can’t see us. Well, to put it simply, it erases our traces.”
“What else am I saying… Then this only works for small children. In the first place, it’s not effective at all for monsters with some level… And this… Is it effective for humans?”
“That’s the point. I asked the person who bought it, but I’m hostile because I’m not a C-class or higher Hunter, or I’m worried about being found out by the general public. Ha- To use this here.”
“Wait a minute- But there might be a Hunter in the security company over there…”
“Then, are you going to sit like this? Hu- Let’s go out for a bit and come back. Ji Sang-i also said he would keep his promise. I was naked like this.”
Kim Myung-woon pretended to be worried, and eventually held his marbles tightly in his hand.
*
“Wow, that was a lot easier than I thought.”
“Does it really work…?”
The guys were more than satisfied with the satisfactory efficacy.
I also laughed at the excitement and satisfaction that it had been a while.
“Ha~ I think I’ll live. Really- this is living.”
” Admit. “
“I admit it too.”
“Then- Hey, Myeongwoon-ah, let’s go to the department store first. Let’s take a look at what clothes are out this time. Ah! Do you want to pick up a car while you’re here?”
“Is that so? Thanks to Kang Se-ah, even if it’s not an expensive car, I’ll be able to pick up a car- hehe-“
The guys looked at me and scratched their heads, not knowing what to do.
“Let’s tear it up.”
” Huh? “
“Wouldn’t it be more comfortable to move than being torn apart? Why, the hyungs will have a lot to do.
“That… Is that okay?”
“Of course. Um… No, I’ll take care of it when my girlfriend calls me. Don’t worry and go see your business.”
The guys who couldn’t solve their happy faces at my words eventually hugged me.
“Thank you, Ji Sang-ah! After- Really!”
“Because I understand your feelings… Let’s put this first…”
“Ah- I’m sorry. I’m happy…”
Shin Do-won sent me a thank you look and thanked me.
“Then, how about we gather here after we’re done with our business…?”
“Ah-what are you doing? There will be marbles. Just play as much as you want and go in individually. Isn’t it annoying?”
“Really, I love you Ji Sang-ah.”
“Because I decline.”
“Ha- I don’t know! Nice! Then, let’s do it!”
“By the way, isn’t this marble time-limited?”
“Huh? Then! It’s just that the performance is poor. There’s no time limit-“
Shin Do-won’s voice was high, perhaps because he was happy to go out after a long time, and Kim Myung-woon laughed and patted me on the shoulder.
“I wear it on my body, so you don’t know…?”
“Yeah, I will.”
“Yaya- Let’s go quickly. Go-go to the department store first!”
“So, Ji Sang-ah. Thank you. Have fun!”
“Yes! The hyungs too!”
I laughed louder than ever when I saw the guys disappearing like they were flying to the other side.
