Chapter 275 – (Chapter 275) 36. Stance Change
(Episode 275)
“How did Lucia come to Korea?”
Jeon Kwang-seok, who grumbled while escorting Myeong-sik Han, who had just entered the house, into the living room, was beaten by her wife, Lydia Morzova.
“Why are you feeling ashamed of the person who came, Myeong-sik?”
“It’s okay, Lydia. Because her brother is doing this out of happiness.”
“What does this kid say on the home ground?”
“Why are there only two of them?”
“Oh, that friend is working overtime to prepare for the trial tomorrow.”
“What, you interrupted our quiet time? He was kind of picky.”
“Would you disappear if you knew?”
“I don’t like it, but are you going to keep interrupting me? Lydia didn’t eat dinner, please.”
Lydia’s expression changed drastically because she said this while knowing that her only weakness was cooking.
“Mr. Myung-sik, you have to move into your company’s house and have a housewarming party, but it’s very rude to barge into your newlyweds’ house without contacting them, right? I want you to stop.”
“Uh hee hee I knew that and I prepared it in advance!”
The front door, which I thought was locked, burst open, and even Natasha Molotova, who is from Russia like her image Lee, her image sister and her company colleague, Jung Ju Aeda, her close friend Anna Ivanova, rushed in.
“Jjajajajan!!”
“We are here!”
“Surprise housewarming!”
“I don’t know what I like, so I bought them all!”
“Wow! The house is very spacious and nice!”
Seeing all kinds of goodies in the hands of her welcome friends, Lydia welcomed them with open arms,
“Kyaaaaa! Come on, come on!!”
It was the residence of a minister-level official, so there was no problem with the six tall women walking around laughing and chatting.
“What kind of wind suddenly blew in?”
“Are you still stupid because your time alone was interrupted?”
“No, I thought I would go right back to Germany.”
Han Myeong-shik affectionately read the back of Jeon Gwang-seok, who filled an empty glass with wine.
“William hyung told me that I had a hard time coming all the way to the United States, so I came here as well.”
“I do it because I love it, so what’s the hardship?”
“Are you done talking with America?”
“That’s true, but this meeting really depends on Russia’s attitude.”
“Natasha, do you know how Russia will come out of the G7?”
When Han Myeong-sik shouted at the women who were chatting about the fun of her newlywed life, Natasha lightly replied in passing.
“It’s top secret, if you tell me, you’ll have to kill yourself.”
“It means you don’t know. If even the director of SVR doesn’t know, that means it hasn’t been decided yet, right?”
The behavior of the two people who pretend to understand is funny, so I laughed spontaneously.
“Haha, isn’t it really top secret?”
“Natasha has already sold her country.”
“Because of you?”
“Of course.”
“Isn’t it an illusion?”
“I’m one person.”
“It’s okay to pretend to be proud.”
This joke is possible because it is undoubtedly true. Han Myeong-sik took a sip of wine with a serious expression on his face.
“What is the Russian president up to?”
“The decision won’t be easy for Russia, who has to worry about China while dealing with the US and Europe.”
“Knowing that, the United States must be bragging.”
“Right, that’s why the president asked me to leave first and visit Russia.”
“Your sister herself?”
“Yeah, that’s not a bad idea, but I’m not sure I’ll get anything out of it.”
“What does the company say?”
“I’ve even sought advice from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but it’s negative.”
However, it is impossible to ignore the president’s opinion as the head of the National Intelligence Service.
“If it doesn’t matter, I’ll do it.”
“I’m afraid I’ll miss work if I go there.”
“Are you pretending not to be confident by saying let’s go to Russia together?”
“If you notice, react on your own.”
“No.”
“Why?”
“Don’t bother, I’m going to hang out with them all night and go to Germany right away.”
I couldn’t see Han Myeong-sik, who was trying to pass an important matter off as a joke, so Natasha stepped forward and explained.
“It’s not because I’m really bothered, I told you in advance that it’s better not to go.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yes, I think it would be better to leave Russia alone without provoking it further.”
“Please enlighten me why.”
Everyone’s attention was immediately focused on Natasha’s explanation. It is a natural reaction since even Anna, a girl group trainee, is directly or indirectly related to this incident.
“Can’t you guess Russia’s intentions from the fact that he is in charge of Myeong-shik Jeol, who has just returned from retirement?”
“Does that mean that you feel uncomfortable about attending the G7?”
“That’s right, if the US doesn’t take only Alpha and Omega, it’s clear that they will consider the current situation indirectly through South Korea better.”
“Is it because of China?”
“That’s the superficial reason, and I hate the very idea of a new order led by the United States.”
Just because no one raised any objections was proof that Natasha’s claim was close to the truth, Lee already added her opinion carefully.
“Then, the Russian government would be very burdened if Myeong-sik visits with Natasha or Kwang-seok.”
“If you knew what Alpha and Omega think of Mr. Myung-shik, they would be even more burdened.”
Natasha nodded her head as Lydia, who was the first to trace the existence of her twin psychic, helped.
“With the report I posted, the Russian government as well as the SVR must be well aware of the reality.”
“Then you had better not go. I thought that just by having Myungsik by his side, he could move Russia…”
“It’s because Myung-shik’s very existence scares me. Seeing that I’ve turned 19, the director of the SVR visits the Kremlin Palace and makes a fuss about all the stars.”
Haha!”
They laughed lightly at Natasha’s jokes, and the surprise housewarming ended in such a pleasant and friendly atmosphere.
✽✽✽✽✽
“This is where I first talked to him.”
In front of a window seat in an old bar, Natasha put on an emotional expression that was not befitting her 19-year-old beauty.
“Did you meet for work?”
“No, I wouldn’t have been shaken if I did.”
“Then was it actually your first love?”
“Huh…”
Even for a 57-year-old woman, first love is bound to be a special memory.
“How about you come back here with me?”
“What can I say…”
“How does it feel to buy a new expensive, fancy new car and sell it when it breaks down?”
“Foot! Ahahahahaha!”
To make her feel so light, Natasha sat face to face with the man she truly loved in the place of her memory with her refreshing kiss.
“Are you German?”
“This used to be East Germany.”
“That’s why I was able to meet you personally.”
“Yeah, do you know what your job was?”
“Unemployed.”
“Uh… , How did you know?”
“Ji… Really?”
“It wasn’t superpowers, was it something that was overlooked?”
“It wasn’t an oversight, it was a joke out of jealousy.”
“Whoop whoop whoop ahahahaha!”
Haha”
Natasha laughed again, and when the beer she ordered was served, she took a sip and left, then continued the conversation with a more relieved expression.
“The first place I was assigned to after finishing the KGB training was here in the Berlin branch.”
“Isn’t it Japan?”
“Japan was where I was put in after changing to SVR, and this was a simple secretarial job as a probationary job.”
“I don’t think I would have left a beauty like you as a secretary…”
“I will never do that.”
“I can roughly guess, he called me during work and knelt under the desk…”
“Stop it, I’m really angry.”
“I must try it next time.”
“I want to go.”
He grabbed Natasha, who was getting up fast, and moved her to the seat next to her.
“Because I’m jealous, I can’t go back to those days.”
“I made it even prettier than then… Town!”
Guests around her watched with envy at the sight of a quarreling lover reconciling with a tender kiss.
“You can’t continue talking like this.”
“It’s hard to hear because I can imagine it.”
“Ugh… Anyway, I was born this way.”
“Hehe, how did the beautiful secretary meet the unemployed?”
Natasha had a sad smile on her reddened face, as if her kiss had made her memories clearer.
“I came for an interview at the company I worked for, and I was discouraged from being rejected, so I was drinking here.
“It wasn’t a particularly dramatic encounter, was it?”
“Yes, all relationships are special laws only for the person concerned…”
“Everyone seems to be special with my girl, but what about our normal relationship?”
“Whoa, that’s right, the man I love is the most special in the world, so of course it has to be that way.”
It’s like a situation where a young lover is jealous of an older lover’s first love, but the relationship between the two is by no means unusual.
“Haaa… They said they were going to go on a memory trip, but they couldn’t hold back and contacted me.”
“Hehe, what can I do, you’re not in a position like this leisurely?”
“There won’t be anything urgent until the G7 is held, so let’s ignore it for now, where was it after this bar?”
“The building that was used as a lodging block down there is still there.”
“With that man over there?”
“Yes, the storm…”
“Like when you were with me?”
“More than that…”
“Really?”
“Pu-huh! Could it be?”
“I don’t know, because I wasn’t there then.”
Natasha tenderly stroked Han Myeong-shik’s face with her two hands because she was so lovable that she seemed jealous.
“All I did was treat a few meals to a poor man whose self-esteem had fallen.”
“Then, believe the lie that nothing happened, is there a man in the world who would leave Natasha alone?”
“In fact…”
“In fact?”
I didn’t know what answer would come out, so I tried to look up her memories through her status window, but I just held back and swallowed my saliva.
“I was cold because I couldn’t cook.”
“What?”
“I told you I had no talent for cooking.”
“Ji… Was it really for that reason?”
“Check if it’s a lie.”
I thought it would be so much fun if it was real, so I checked it right away and it’s not true.
“Cook! No how…”
“Did you check?”
“He brought up a story like a very heartbreaking first love memory…”
“You never said it was a heartbreaking memory?”
“When I came here a little while ago, the expression and atmosphere were… , Could it be that it was acting?”
“I’ve never acted before, and it’s my first love, so will you ignore it?”
Han Myeong-sik, who quickly took out his cell phone with the intention of escaping the crisis because he was contacted again, was really surprised.
“Uh… , What is this sound?”
“What?”
“I heard that a Chinese delegation visited Russia secretly?”
“What? Wait…”
Natasha, who tried to connect to the channel that communicates with SVR privately, tilted her head while looking at her cell phone screen.
“What’s the matter?”
“I don’t have much information, it’s strange…”
“Couldn’t it be SVR?”
“No way… , I heard Alpha and Omega didn’t foretell anything?”
“Ah… That… That is…”
“Why, what’s wrong with you two?”
“Since Misha has fallen for me and has no interest in the world at all…”
“Doesn’t she give wisdom unless she tells me otherwise?”
“Eww… Huh.”
The two had already left the bar and were on their way to their hotel in the car. Natasha berated herself as she sped up.
“I should have paid attention when a Hong Kong organization said that activities in China were difficult… , It hit the back of the head while we were minding G7.”
“Shall I call the children?”
“Is that information sent from Korea before that?”
“Wait… Another one is here.”
“What is the content?”
“I hear that the Chinese delegation visiting Russia is not the Communist Party, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the State Council, unlike in North Korea? The head of the department is the Minister of Foreign Affairs.”
“What?”
“Why is the Chinese foreign minister secretly visiting Russia?”
“Regardless of the reason, if you see that the SVR is quiet, it’s not a big deal…”
“Or not?”
“It’s going on at the Kremlin level.”
I don’t know how things worked in the past, but now Han Myeong-shik noticed right away.
“I should even consider the possibility that Russia called China.”
“Yes, given the SVR’s attitude, that guess is more likely.”
“The brown bears must really hate Yankees.”
“The enemy of the dead, the Cold War is never over.”
Natasha’s last words did not leave Myeong-sik Han’s ears until they arrived at her hotel. What should I do now
