Chapter 1208 – American Dream
I arrived at my destination in a little less than an hour after leaving the sandwich shop. The meeting place, Red Hill Outdoor Shooting Range, seemed quite quiet as it was surrounded by low hills and forests.
“Hmm! “It would be nice to spend my retirement in a place like this!”
The demon king who got out of the van looked around and nodded along to what he said. Of course, my thoughts changed a little later.
Bang! Ride it! Bang! Tadadaang!
Because there was no soundproofing, the gunshots could be heard vividly. Even after hearing this, the Demon King did not change his opinion.
“Haha! Jiheon! “Spend your golden years in a place like this!”
“Didn’t you just hear the gunshot?”
Instead of me, Taeyeon got out of the car, looking at me with a puzzled expression. Then, she turned around and held her hand to support her daughter who was trying to get off.
“Daughter. Holding her mom’s hand.”
“Mom! I’m not a baby! “I’ll be in 4th grade soon!”
“Huh. That’s right baby. Now, watch your step.”
Hehe.”
Even though Yena was treated like a baby, she didn’t feel bad at all. She was rather excited about doing actual shooting, which she had not been able to do when she went to Jeju Island.
“Mom. Mom. Can I shoot today? Really?”
“Huh! Then! Instead, you should listen carefully to what adults say. Okay?”
“Huh! Okay! Hehe!”
“Wow, is it that good?”
“I was the only one who didn’t shoot last time! I’m going to shoot a gun now! “Like mom!”
Jena, who was only 10 years old, was too young to shoot a gun. But that was only true in Korea, and she was old enough to shoot in the United States, where guns are freely allowed. Of course, thorough management supervision was necessary.
“Okay. Let’s shoot guns cool like mom.”
“Huh! Shoot like a pretty police girl! Hehe!”
Rattly
“Aunt. Do you have a conscience?”
Sehee joined Taeyeon and Yena’s happy conversation by opening the passenger door. Then she got out of the car and asked a question as if it were absurd.
“At that age, a child’s mother, and a police officer?”
“Do you want to get hit? No, do you want to take a shot?”
“So you didn’t say anything about being pretty. It’s not wrong anyway.”
“This is what I’m trying to find, really. Shut up, Mr.”
Taeyeon smiled and raised her fist at Sehee, who said she was pretty, but she couldn’t hide the slightly raised corners of her mouth at all.
“Jiheon.”
At this time, Minah approached me without notice. She stood with her back to me, not behind me or next to me, but in front of me.
“Jiheon. Tduduk, please do me a favor.”
“Oh, yes. “Raise your arms.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Minah turned her back to me and crossed her arms up to her chest. He hugged her from behind and lifted her with all his might, loosening her stiff body from driving.
“Huh! Hmph!”
Ttuduk! Pop!
A sound so cheerful that the person doing it thought it was refreshing was heard from Mina and others. As soon as I put down Minah, who had been stretching like that, she turned around and nodded.
“Jiheon. Thank you It’s very cool.”
“Uh? No. “You worked hard.”
“It’s an honor.”
“What is glory?”
Cracking
She weakly tapped Minah’s forearm to show that she had a hard time driving so far. After relieving the fatigue accumulated from such a long drive, we entered the shooting range building seen over there.
“Oh.”
“Oooh… !”
The first thing I saw in the building I entered arm in arm with the Demon King was a gun. To be exact, there were countless guns that filled the wall.
“Seeing this makes me feel like I’m in America.”
“…”
“And. Are these all guns? Real guns?”
“Wow! Wow! Wow!”
The group that followed in was also impressed by the gun shining black under the fluorescent lights. At this time, familiar faces called out to us in front of a display case with handguns.
“Uh! Sohee! Baek Se-hee! It’s here!”
“Mr. Kang! Jiheon! Come this way
!”
It was my father, whom I met in front of the dorm yesterday, and Boss Park, who invited me here. They welcomed us warmly as we approached.
“Did you sleep well? Have you adapted to the time difference?”
“Then! “You’re father’s daughter!”
“Yes. Dad, did you sleep well? Where did you sleep?”
“Hello, Mr. Park!”
“Jiheon! I missed you so much
!”
“Hello, father.”
“Oh my brother-in-law!”
“Hello!”
We briefly said hello and immediately divided into two groups. My father, CEO Park, and I started talking about business, and the rest of the group walked around inside to look at the guns.
“First, Jiheon! Let’s get started right away! Sammy! Sammy
!”
The boss called his employees in a loud voice. A blonde female employee holding a camera approached me, and my father handed me a bundle of scripts.
“Gangseobang. “It’s a simple self-introduction, so read it once.”
“Oh, yes. Shall we read it out loud?”
“No. “It’s just practice, so just read with your eyes.”
“Yes. “Just a moment.”
Fortunately, there wasn’t much English in the script I was supposed to read. Even if there was English, I could read it, and I was relieved to read the script, huh?
“Why isn’t there one?”
As I was flapping around mindlessly, I noticed that there was a page missing. I also asked my father when I saw that the page right after the greeting had disappeared.
“Hey, father. “I don’t have a copy of this?”
“Uh? “You don’t have one?”
“Yes. If you look here, page 2 should appear, but it goes straight to page 3.”
“Ah, that?”
My father, who was preparing for a photo shoot with President Park, chuckled.
“It’s no big deal. That’s because I left it out separately. As a surprise.”
“What, surprise?”
“There is such a thing, Kang Seobang. You can look forward to it.”
I once received the look in my father’s eyes. It was when we reunited at the dispatched unit and fired a Taser, and when we announced that the Demon King was pregnant and were hit with a triple baton equipped with an electric shock function.
“Haha.”
As if my father had sensed my ominous premonition, he smiled lightly. Then, as if to finish reading, I continued preparing for filming with President Park again.
“…”
Flutter
I quickly read the script, wondering if there might be a clue to my future. However, the content written on the paper was only about the items I was introducing.
“Well, just wait a moment. “Father.”
The clues were not all that were written in the documents. I quickly walked away from my father and approached the group looking at the gun.
“Ugh! Look at this beautiful figure! “How beautiful!”
“It’s just a gun, sister.”
“Write! Sehee! It’s not just a gun! Boasting immense power, hmm?”
“Hey, wait a minute. Sohee. Sehee.”
I called Mawang and Sehee, who are my wives and my father’s two daughters. I asked the two people who were looking at me, wondering what was going on, things that might provide clues.
“Do you know why your father came to the United States?”
“Hmm? There’s no way you would know. Even among family members, we don’t talk about business.”
“I don’t know, of course. We didn’t even know my dad came to America.”
“Oh, really? Do you know anything?”
“Jiheon. “Why are you doing this?”
“What did Dad do? To my brother?”
Mawang and Sehee also noticed my anxiety. I told them the basis for their anxiety as they glanced at their father who was talking to President Park.
“No, I received the script, but one page was blank. Just two pages.”
“You barely have that?”
“I didn’t think it was a big deal at first either. But, the look in my father’s eyes that said it was no big deal was strange.”
“Hey, brother. Do you think your father will kill you? “Sawinde?”
My father had no reason to kill me, but he had enough reason to torment me just enough not to kill me. Because I took my two daughters who didn’t hurt even if I put them in my eyes.
“Hmm, you. How about this?”
Even though the devil was not the solution to my anxiety, he showed me a way to find out the clues.
“Hey, you have blonde hair. “I mean blonde hair.”
“Oh, yes. A woman with a camera? White people?”
“Well, that’s right. Go ask him. “Have you heard anything about today’s filming?”
“Okay. “Wait a minute.”
“Oh, you.”
The devil caught me as I was rushing to leave before filming started. She glanced over my shoulder in the direction of her father,
Side!
“Be sure to see it alive.”
I kissed her on the lips and looked at her with earnest gaze filled with blue eyes.
“Brother. See you alive.”
Side!
This time, Sehee left a light kiss on the cheek.
“So it’s terrifying?!”
My heart trembled when I saw the two of them, as if they were seeing off their husbands leaving for war. Of course, it wasn’t just the pounding caused by fear, but fear was a significant part of it.
“I’ll come back then.”
“You must come. Please… !”
“Brother… !”
After being seen off by Mawang and Sehee, I walked towards the blonde woman holding the camera. She, who seemed to be the boss’s subordinate, was operating her camera a little away from her father.
“Hi?”
“Uh? Hello? Good morning.”
A woman with a name tag saying “Sam” On her chest smiled and greeted me. Then she again asked her important question as she operated her camera.
“Hey, maybe. Do you know what we’re filming today?”
“Yes? “Can you say that again?”
“There’s something that wasn’t in the script. Do you know what’s going on?”
“
Well. “I just heard that we’re filming today.”
“
Oh, really? Thank you
.”
Nothing came of it compared to what I had hoped for. I ended up having to wait in fear and anxiety until filming started.
“Mr. Baek, are you really going to do it?”
“I will do it no matter what, boss. Ever since Kang Seobang decided to go to America, I’ve only dreamed of this. Or, are you not confident in the company’s products?”
“That can’t be possible. But no matter what, he is Mr. Baek’s son-in-law. He is my daughter’s husband.”
“Before he was my son-in-law, he was my daughter’s ex-boyfriend.”
“That’s right. However, you have to aim accurately. Very precisely.”
“Don’t worry, boss. You know who I am
?”
