Chapter 1190 – Don’t Do That. Civil Servants Are Most Afraid of Civil Complaints.
“No, brother. Look at this.”
Even when I was standing in line to go through the security checkpoint, Sehee continued to try to deceive me. I displayed the website of the airline we were planning to fly on my phone
“It’s on the airline’s website. “They said they would give it to me in a pouch with a cosmetics set and an eye patch.”
“I don’t believe it. “You made it.”
“This is an airline website?!”
“It must have been hacked and changed.”
“I’m hacking an airline’s website just to lie to three people?! And the representative airline of Korea?!”
“Can’t you?”
“You can do it! But I don’t! Because it’s annoying!”
Now Sehee, who is feeling a bit resentful, is starting to look cute. I completely denied what Sehee said, half sincerely and half as a joke. Of course, I didn’t believe it either.
“Hey. Hey. Stop it. You’ll know when you get on it. Daughter, did you take out your ticket and passport?”
“Huh! But mom! I want to pay for this! “Can’t I pay?”
“No, of course not. Then, do you pay attention to what the people in front of you are doing? Okay?”
“Huh! Okay!”
Taeyeon and Yena lost interest in lying and were filled with excitement about the trip.
“Haha, you. “I bet 10,000 won that Jiheon won’t believe it until the end.”
“No. I’ll bet. Sohee, please bet on what you believe in.”
“Then you can’t bet! “You bet!”
Mawang and Minah saw us arguing and even made a bet. I don’t know who the winner will be, but it would be more profitable to bet on the one I don’t trust.
“Welcome. “Can I have your ticket and passport, please?”
As we waited in line like this, it was soon our turn. Things started quickly, starting with the devil in front handing over a plane ticket and passport.
“Huh?”
Following the Demon King, Minah and Sehee proceeded without any problems. However, the staff member who checked the passport I presented gave a short groan as if embarrassed.
“No, this… !”
“Why, why?”
“Oh, wait a minute.”
He looked away without giving a proper answer to my question. After briefly exchanging glances with the male employee entering the security checkpoint, he looked at me again and politely pointed to the side with his outstretched hand.
“Could you please come here for a moment?”
“Yes? Why? No, why?”
“It will be soon. Please follow the instructions.”
“Oh, no… !”
Even though I’ve been on a plane for a long time, this was the first time like this. As I looked around in confusion, I made eye contact with my companions who had the same expression as me.
“Jiheon. Why, why are you doing this? “Did you bring something strange?”
“No, brother? Now, wait a minute. I’ll take a look. It won’t take long.”
“Sehee. No way. Things could get bigger.”
“Hey, hey. “What did you do?”
“Mister… !”
“Gwae, it’s okay. It’s okay, Yena.”
Even though she didn’t know anything, she comforted Ena who was crying. The male employee who had made eye contact with the female employee earlier came up to me and said.
“Sir. Could you please come here for a moment?”
“W-what… Is it work?”
“Please follow our instructions. “This way.”
He put his hand on my shoulder as if he was going to drag me if I didn’t want to go. I was angry because he told me to follow him without any explanation, and he touched me arbitrarily, but I gritted my teeth and held back for now.
“Go, I’ll come back. See you inside.”
Forcing herself to smile at her wives, her fiancé, and Jena, and obediently move along as they asked. At this time, Minah quickly approached and held out a small business card.
“Jiheon. This is my lawyer. Please contact us if necessary.”
“Uh? Ah, yes. Thank you.”
“I hope for your safe return.”
“So it looks like I’m going to die.”
Even though it sounded a little ominous, it somehow relieved my worries and tension. I let out a short sigh and continued walking as the male employee told me to do.
“…”
Jump, jump, jump
As I was leaving the waiting line and heading somewhere to the airport, another employee joined me. They headed to a corner of the airport, went through several doors and a long hallway, and took me to a room that looked like an interrogation room.
“Please wait until the investigator comes.”
It wasn’t like an interrogation room, it was an interrogation room. The men who brought me here looked around the room blankly as they left.
Walls painted gray, an area of just a few pyeong, a square table and chairs made of solid metal. What was a little unusual here was that it was fixed to the floor with screws.
“…”
The most notable thing here was the magic mirror pretending to be that mirror. Even if I was the only one visible from this side, there were two to three people looking at me from over there.
“Then, can I sit here?”
It didn’t seem like making a fuss would be of much use. For now, I decided to observe the situation and sat down on a chair fixed to the floor.
“Can’t we start quickly? I think everyone is worried.”
I spoke to the other side of the mirror just as I did when I sat down. Among them, who were watching me like monkeys in a zoo, one person’s gaze disappeared.
Rattly
“Hello, Mr. Jiheon.”
Not long after that, a man wearing a suit and round rimless glasses came in. He sat down in front of me, put down the folder he was carrying, and asked.
“Aren’t you nervous? “You seem very nervous when you come here.”
“Oh, yes. I used to get nervous a lot in the past. Not so much now.”
“I really almost died at that time. Aren’t you scared? Being left alone?”
“It was very scary. “If you ask me to do it again next time, I won’t do it.”
“Wow, Hyunsu will be upset when he hears.”
“I tell you to listen. I wish I could have saved you once. And do people always get caught? “Well, I’m not even a princess from a fairy tale.”
After all, you know who I am.
I was sure that he didn’t just bring me here as he spoke casually. As if he sensed my inner thoughts, the man smiled and changed the subject.
“Mr. Jiheon. Why did we call Jiheon?”
“I didn’t call you because I wanted to become friends.”
“Personally, I want to become friends. “I want to do that, but it takes a while.”
“What is that?”
“Wait a minute. Would you like to see this?”
The man opened the folder he had brought earlier. There were files containing faces he had seen just a moment ago.
“First, Baek So-hee and Baek Se-hee are the daughters of the CEO of a mercenary company. Mina Chae is the owner of a successful small business. Also, oh, oh, is Sergeant Taeyeon Jeong subject to special treatment this time? I’m jealous.”
“… “Did you investigate our background?”
“No, that’s not it. These are all things that come up when you search the internet. You use social media a lot these days, right? I saw that and got it. It’s no big deal. Everyone.”
If they are separate, what kind of information are you talking about? The relationship between the five of us? But this is private life and not illegal. Of course, bigamy is illegal.
“Mr. Jiheon. “Why did we call you?”
The man who showed everyone’s files except Yena finally said his purpose.
“Well, there are all the procedures. When a distinguished guest like Ji-heon leaves the country, there are procedures that go through without even realizing it. “You know what that means, right?”
“Yes, roughly.”
“During that process, what kind of people do you go out with, what are their names and occupations? There is also something like this. However, if our VIPs leave in succession, they get caught on our radar.”
“So?”
“No, look.”
I said look and organized the files again.
“Two mercenary company officials, one famous person with assets, and one recently successful police official. The person at the center of them all is an unofficially specially trained war hero. Jiheon, what does this look like?”
“No, ah, this is…” … !”
“Is it so. We also know that Ji-heon is being treated unfairly. It’s also annoying. But there are procedures in place. Procedure.”
Flutter
I thought my file was the last, but there was one more. It was a pledge written on several sheets of A4 paper stapled together.
“Following the procedure, if you sign here, it’s all over. Please read it once. It would be nice if you could sign it.”
Tak, seuuuuu
He put the pen he took out of her arms onto her desk and held it out deliberately making a sound. The black pen handed over had the words National Intelligence Service engraved on it.
“Really, you’re having a hard time. In the shade.”
She sarcastically read the several pages of the pledge carefully. What I read while fluttering was simpler than I thought. Even in terms of hostile acts and participation in protests, it was not much different from the confidentiality oath I received in the military.
“Is this secure?”
I was about to get angry, but when I read this, I was so dumbfounded that I asked. He shrugged his shoulders in understanding.
“But it still has legal effect.”
“No, if you were going to do this, you should have sent it by mail or fax. It bothers people.”
“Then you won’t be able to see Jiheon. Also, I think Ji-heon doesn’t know his own position.”
“Yes. Yes. All right. I will be careful.”
I looked at the pledge one last time before signing. No matter how I looked at it, it looked like the confidentiality agreement I had received in the military. Except that the location is overseas, and the validity period is 10 years.
Sasasak, Sasak!
“Sleep. Okay?”
“Thank you♪”
Only after looking at it one last time did I sign and hand over the pledge. The man who received it while humming organized it in a folder along with everyone’s files except Yena.
“Oh, don’t worry about these. “I will destroy everything except the oath.”
“Of course you should. “I almost filed a complaint.”
“Don’t do that. Civil servants are most afraid of civil complaints.”
“That’s why I don’t do it.”
“This is unfortunate. “I was trying to scout.”
After telling a useless joke, he got up from his seat. I was about to get up, but the interrogation room door opened, and another man came in carrying a paper bag.
“Oh, indeed. “Sleep.”
The man who had just come in and handed me a paper bag handed it to me again. He gave it to me, so I took it and smiled at me with a smile that reminded me of a certain colonel.
“Thank you for your cooperation in national security.”
“Oh, yes. Of course, it’s something you should do. Because they are great, great citizens of the Republic of Korea.”
“Haha. Really, I like this person. Goodbye then.”
After saying, “Have a nice trip,” The unlucky man left. The man who came in earlier approached me and spoke in a deep voice.
“Please follow me. “I will go straight to the departure hall.”
“Aren’t there security checks?”
“You already did it. Please come.”
Just like that. I was thinking about committing a terrorist attack, but then I remembered the pledge I had just signed. Still, I walked obediently as the man asked.
… By the way, you don’t seem to know that Sehee is a hacker. I was nervous for no reason.
“Oh, sorry. “It took a while, didn’t it?”
“You! How can you make a pregnant woman this nervous? “I almost thought I was going to be a widow!”
“Sorry. But I was surprised too. “I was suddenly taken away.”
“Brother. What’s going on? Why is that? Shall I find out?”
“No, don’t do it. It’s just something like that. Ah, indeed. “I got this.”
“What kind of object is it?”
“I don’t know either. I just took it because he gave it to me. Let’s see together what it is. Huh?”
“Hey, Mr.! It clearly says National Intelligence Service on the box! No, do you know these babies are in the 80s? Hey, what did they do to you?”
“Mister. Mister. You were very scared, right? Are you okay? We are there.”
“I just came out to talk. Oh, it’s okay. Uncle, it’s okay, it’s Yena.”
