Chapter 191 – @26. The Elevator Stopped.
“By the way, what’s wrong with you these days?”
She did the same the other day when she went to a motel with Naeun, and sometimes you could see her pensive look on her face.
Sometimes the eyes were also swollen.
Is it because of me? I thought about it, but she is a pretty solid woman.
“Huh? Customer, why are you interested in a prostitute like me?”
It was an ambiguous tone, as if it were sarcastic or not, but I could feel that he was trying to hide his emotions.
“Is it because of your boyfriend?”
At some point, I no longer had anything to hold me back when I was talking to other people.
“Um… Yes. I think it’s a bit like that. I’m sorry. I made you worry. But don’t worry, it’s not like we’ll meet again.”
Joo-eun said with a bitter smile.
“Is that because you’re sorry?”
“I’m sorry… I’m angry… He called me a few days ago and hung up without saying anything… Earlier, he asked me if things were going well with you.”
What happened that day must have been a huge event for both Joo-eun and her ex-boyfriend.
“So?”
“What the hell do you want to know?”
“They said they were just curious. At best, they called and asked about such things… Ha… Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t want to bother you.”
“Do you want to go back now?”
“No. Never… It’s too late.”
Joo-eun raised her head and looked at me.
“How could I know you, sir?”
Joo-eun’s smile when she said the word customer was more sad than ever.
She was also saddened by my attitude. In fact, she was no different from Naeun.
“Anyway, I’m not going to bother you again. Brother… I told him not to call me again either.”
Joo-eun was also working hard.
And there was only one thing I could repay for such efforts.
She tried to get in touch with a message from the detective agency.
“We haven’t been able to figure out who made the request to those who were chasing the two people who requested it. I’m sorry.”
She said she couldn’t find the client based on her financial records, so she found out in person.
“They didn’t seem to know who they were either. A woman wearing sunglasses came and entrusted her with a request and decided to receive the data by mail from her.”
So now it seemed like he was trying to find someone by email address.
“I’ll find it somehow, so please wait a little longer.”
If so, there is nothing you can do about it.
Have to wait
And for another request, he said that he would already organize the data and send it to me.
As soon as I hung up the phone, I got a message.
Upon checking, it was information about Naeun’s ex-boyfriend and the woman he would marry.
Yunjin Jeong.
The eldest daughter of 1 son and 1 daughter of the CEO of Daeyang Industry.
Age 25
After graduating from college, she went to her father’s company and dated Na-eun’s boyfriend, and her marriage is about to happen, she says.
About the contents they had heard from Na-eun, and the contents of Daeyang Unleashment, which they said they worked for, were carefully written.
Actually, I didn’t really care about the company at all.
But her photos and her place of residence were the information I needed.
Other than that, there are some small but good things to know.
Her father didn’t seem particularly intent on leaving the company to her son alone.
It seemed that she was thinking of giving her daughter a chance as well, or perhaps passing the company on to her son-in-law.
Naeun’s ex-boyfriend must have been quite useful.
According to the pictures she sent from the detective office, she was a pretty decent woman.
Even if it wasn’t Naeun’s request, it seemed worthwhile to get her hands on it.
Then, everything needed to carry out Naeun’s request was equipped.
Now my only choice is how to get her into her hands.
I immediately used Casting Card 〈 Actress 〉 against her and followed her with Active Card 〈 Monitor 〉.
She’s pretty pretty, but she doesn’t feel the need to use 〈 Active Protagonist 〉 or 〈 Passive Protagonist 〉.
She was confident that she could get her hands on it even if it wasn’t.
The next day was Saturday.
I drove to a building in Gangnam.
This is where the business run by the father of today’s target, a woman named Yunjin, is located.
I parked my car in the underground parking lot, took out the plastic bottle and plastic bag I had brought from the trunk, and headed for the elevator.
Maybe it’s the weekend, so I don’t see people coming and going.
When I pressed the button to go up in the elevator and waited for a while, two women walked over from the other side.
The two women don’t care about me.
The elevator opened and I got on first, followed by the two women.
The women pressed the 15th floor, and I put down the plastic bottle and pressed the 12th floor.
The elevator started going up.
The door was opened on the first floor, but no one was riding it, probably because it was the weekend.
Thank god.
I almost made a mistake.
The elevator goes up again.
I tore the card when it was about half way up.
Special!! Card 〈 Stopped Elevator 〉
– The elevator stops.
– All means of communication that can communicate with the outside world are disrupted.
– The temperature rises gradually.
– I want to take off my clothes.
– You’re thirsty.
– Somehow, I feel like my body is heating up.
– The elevator is completely disconnected from the outside until AV making is finished.
– Tear the card in half to use it.
Empty!
Suddenly the elevator stops.
“Huh? Why are you suddenly like that?”
The first to speak was today’s goal, a woman named Yunjin.
“Yes? Wait a minute.”
The woman in the elevator with Yunjin presses the button to contact the management office on the elevator panel.
But, of course, it doesn’t connect.
“What’s going on? I can’t connect.”
The woman worriedly said to Yunjin.
“What? Did you leave work on Saturday?”
Yunjin gets annoyed.
“Wait a minute. I’ll make a phone call.”
“Do it quickly.”
“Huh? Why can’t I get a signal?”
“Huh? Wait a minute. What about mine?”
Both women pull out their respective phones and are perplexed to find that there is no signal.
“Excuse me. Do you have a phone signal over there?”
A woman riding with Yunjin asked me.
“No. I’m not caught either.”
She casually pulled her phone out of her pocket to check it out, then shook her head and answered.
“Ah! Seriously! What is it?”
Yunjin couldn’t stand her irritation and said a word.
“Why not?”
Another woman presses on the elevator panel again.
“What are you doing? Then what if it breaks down further?”
“Sorry.”
The woman, who seemed to be three or four years older than Yunjin, couldn’t move at Yunjin’s words.
“Seriously… Why are you like this?”
“Um. Why don’t you call someone by shouting?”
“Then do it quickly!”
Yunjin said as if threatening her companion.
“Hey! The elevator is stuck here! Is anyone there?”
The woman started screaming.
“Ah! Seriously! Did the air conditioner stop?”
The moment the elevator stopped, the wind coming down from above also stopped.
It is already mid-July.
It was hot for a while, so the air conditioner stopped working in a small space, so it started to get hot right away.
“Here! Anyone else?”
The woman shouted.
No one answered even after she shouted for a long time.
“It’s Saturday, so no one seems to be there.”
“Ugh it’s frustrating!”
Yunjin kicked the elevator wall once.
“It’s dangerous, so I’d rather not do something like that.”
I spoke to them for the first time.
“Yes, Mr. Yunjin.”
“Ah! I don’t know! Try something.”
“Yes…”
The woman shouted outside to hoarse her voice again.
“Hey. Don’t just look there, try something.”
Yunjin threw a word at me.
“Seeing that no one is coming even after calling that, it seems that no one is on this floor.”
“No. But shouldn’t we try something?”
“The elevators are all connected to the management office, so we’ll take action sooner or later. Let’s wait for a while.”
“Hey! Help me!”
And for a while, the woman didn’t stop screaming outside.
“Haha…”
The woman gasped for her breath, apparently weakened by the long shouting.
“Try more.”
“Yes.”
The woman couldn’t even move at Yunjin’s one word.
“Help me!”
“No. Are you going to just watch? How should we do it together?”
Yunjin said as if she was shooting at me again.
“There’s no particular way for me.”
“That’s a man!”
“Yes. Not a woman.”
“Then open the door.”
“No. Then, if you do something wrong, it will be a big problem. Mr. Yunjin.”
Her companion’s face turned blue and stopped her.
“If you get stuck in an elevator, you should never touch useless things. If you do it wrong, you may fall.”
“Haa… It’s hot…”
It was hot.
I also felt the sweat welling up inside my shirt.
When it’s hot like this, I want to take off my clothes.
“Hey. Can you stop looking over there?”
Yunjin said to me with an uncomfortable expression.
“I’m not watching.”
I replied with a puzzled expression.
“And don’t get crazy. I’m filming everything on camera right now.”
Yunjin was really pointing her smartphone’s camera at me.
“Why do you think that?”
“Isn’t that right? There are two women, and they’re not coming to fix the elevator.”
“I. Mr. Yunjin. No matter what…”
A woman accompanying her pulled Yunjin up and whispered something in her ear.
“Don’t provoke me for nothing. What if I get really bad thoughts?”
Even if it’s a whisper, it’s only about 1 pyeong in space. There was no reason not to hear from me.
“Don’t worry, I don’t have any bad thoughts. I’ll be back until the elevator is running again, so don’t treat me like a weird person.”
She turned around and sat on the floor with a lot of grumpiness.
“Are you offended? What’s offended by you? It’s natural for women to be scared when they’re locked up with a stranger!”
Despite her companion’s disapproval, Yun-jin doesn’t seem to be discouraged at all.
“Haa… Cover it.”
“That’s right. It’s a big deal. It should be fixed quickly…”
“Hey.”
Yunjin called me again.
“What is it?”
I replied bluntly without looking back.
“Climb up there. There’s usually a hole that goes out when you look at it, right? It looks like you’re tall, but it won’t be easy to climb.”
“Nothing. Are you crazy? Do you want me to do something like that? If I fall by mistake, will they take responsibility?”
“What kind of man is like that.”
“Don’t do it. Mr. Yunjin.”
“No. Manager Ha keeps telling me not to do something. Can’t talk? And did I say something stupid? Shouldn’t you fix the elevator or find a way out?”
“If you want to do that, do it yourself. Don’t let someone else do it.”
“What? What does being a man mean?”
“Yunjin-san…”
“Or let Manager Ha do it.”
“Yes? What?”
“Looking there, I think it will open.”
“No. Still.”
“Isn’t that what you usually do when you watch a movie? If you open that and go out, you won’t be able to go outside.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. If you go up and make a mistake, you will fall dozens of meters down. Does it make sense to have them do that?”
I said in a very angry voice.
“Then you try!”
“Yunjin-san…”
“Or find a way! I’m dying from the heat.”
Yunjin turned the arrow again, this time to his companion, Chief Ha.
