Chapter 785 – As We Practiced in Korea, Get Off! Practice!

“Jiheon. This is what I am asking very seriously.”

“What.”

“Can you give me this?”

Hyeonsu, who was sitting next to me, looked at my K-2 rifle and asked. Unlike other people’s guns, which are sleek and streamlined, my handguards had tactical rails, so I had things like angle grips and flashes attached to them.

“Because I can’t.”

Embracing the gun with the muzzle down, I leaned over to the other side. At the same time, I told him what I had said over and over again to him, who had been coveting this since he was in Korea.

“This handguard alone costs 400,000 won.”

“So that’s what you mean. Not for sale.”

“Then no more.”

“Uh? Would you sell it if I told you to?”

“Joe.”

“Ahh, Jiheon ahh. I’ll pay you back in installments.”

“No. I can’t because I got this too.”

“Ahh, Jiheon. Will you give me a kiss? Kiss? Woo woo woom”

“Ah, this bastard.”

The reason I leaned toward the aisle was to push off the now rushing hyeonsu.

Chin!

“Ah, Jiheon Aang!”

“Oh, turn it off.”

Of course, even so, it was not easy to dismiss Hyeonsu, who had followed the dispatched troops. After all, it’s a carrot rather than a stick.

“Hey, I’ll give you this, so stay away. Hot.”

What I gave as a bribe was the candy I received from the stewardesses earlier. It had been some time since I got off the cool air-conditioned plane, and the air was warm, but the feel through the vinyl was still hard.

“Oh! Thank you!”

“Jiheon! Thank you for this food!”

“Oh, me too! Me too!”

Cucumber! Pak!

“Oh, little! Why are you doing that!”

It was the candy he took out to give to him. However, the seniors and subordinates who sat across the aisle in the front and back took it and ate it.

“If this is the case, I will bear with you for a little while.”

Still, Hyeonsu took the last one, and I rummaged through the bag of biscuits on the other side and took out just one.

Rustling

“No, didn’t you get the candy?”

I asked the senior sitting next to me while opening the plastic candy wrapper. Sergeant Hwang Byung-soo, who was probably from Jeolla-do, put candy in and answered with a twitchy mouth.

“Jiheon only gave it to you. Be handsome.”

“What are you talking about, that again.”

“Then what are you talking about?”

“Don’t tell obvious lies. I feel bad if you continue.”

“Under! I feel bad! Isn’t it? Is not it?”

Among the dispatched soldiers, he was the best, and when he asked, the people around him nodded in sympathy. Even Hyeonsu, who was eating the candy I gave him, even raised his clenched fist.

“But hey, don’t do it here later! Even so, he is at an ordinary level.”

Widely!

“Oh, stop it!”

In the end, I couldn’t stand it and hit the head with the helmet on before I shut my mouth. The hand-to-hand sword was a little over the line, but it was cheap compared to the cost of sexual harassment.

“Oh, yes. Because it is real.”

Hyeon-soo, who had been hit by one, grumbled and chewed on the candy with a smile. I watched until he calmly leaned on the backrest, and finally put the peeled candy in my mouth and called Sergeant Hwang.

“No, Sergeant Hwang. I know I’m just average. My girlfriends said it was exactly that level.”

“What are those people, blind? Are you blind?”

“No. So stop kidding me. I’m going to sting you. Really.”

“You should stop. We are tired too, we are tired.”

Sergeant Hwang, who shook his head as if in amazement, leaned against the back of the chair like a hyeonsu. I watched it still, and then I looked outside where the bright sunlight was shining down.

There was an endless wasteland that could never be seen in Korea. Even after running for several hours, the scenery did not change much, and the hot sunlight came down on the cloudless blue sky as if it would ripen even if I went out for a short time.

“Haaa… !”

He let out a sigh as if the wasteland was about to disappear and looked down at his left arm. A wristwatch was visible under the sleeve of the yellow combat uniform like trousers, and the digital clock announced that it was 2:00 PM in angular numbers.

Then it’s 8 o’clock in Korea, and that’s when Mina gets off work. The Demon King and Saehee too, ah. They go to school now Because it’s October. But, if Taeyeon was this week, she would have left work now, so the four of us would meet for a drink, right?

By the time I thought of Jena, now in my second semester, Sergeant Kim, who had been dispatched with us, stood up in front of the bus. Standing up holding his luggage compartment like a handle, he shouted a death sentence at us, at me to be exact.

“The unit will arrive in a little while! Everyone get ready to get off! Check out what you’re wearing! Equip your gun properly! Okay!”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

“Okay! Then I get motion sickness, wait a little bit! Because there really isn’t much left!”

Sergeant Kim, whose face was paler than before getting into the car, sat down. I tried to erase the thoughts that popped into my mind as I stared blankly at it, but that was impossible even for a former hero.

What do we do. What if I see my father?

The units we are going to now are not only the ROK and US forces, but among them there are units that are being trained by my father who was hired as an instructor. My heart started pounding at the thought of seeing him in a little while.

Fucked. Ruined.

These are the only two words that come to mind right now. Not only did I touch my father’s two daughters who were hired as current mercenaries, but I also touched them at the same time. He wasn’t the kind of person who would just look at me like that.

I’ll do this for a million won… !

I muttered to myself as I looked at the attachments on the K-2 rifle. It seemed to mean that they would train me to the extent of investing almost a million won, but I had no idea how much harder it would be than what I received at the training center.

“Ugh! Ugh! Arrived! Arrived!”

What?! Already?!

It seemed he was lost in thought. Like the other soldiers, he hurriedly looked ahead and saw a long barbed wire fence in the distance, and beyond that, there was a base seen in movies.

“Hey, fuck… !”

I cursed at the thought that the nightmare was gradually becoming a reality. Her heart, which had been beating as before, began to beat faster, and her breath quickened as if she would collapse at any moment.

“Ha, ha, ha”

“Oh, hey. Jiheon. Are you okay?”

“Uh, uh. It’s okay, it’s okay.”

When Hyeonsu, who was sitting next to him, looked at him with a worried look, he forced him to nod. I tried to relax by swallowing dry saliva or opening and closing my fists.

“Arrived! Everyone get ready to get off!”

Time passed quickly after that. Arriving at the main gate, checking, passing through, and entering the unit felt like it only took a few seconds. It was a heavenly difference from the scenery that did not change even after several hours of driving.

I’d rather have terrorists attack… !

I expected this extreme situation, but of course it did not happen. The bus ran between buildings yellow as sand and stopped in front of a few hundred people.

“Ruler!”

When the bus stopped, Sergeant Kim stood up. Still pale, he beckoned us to rise.

“Everybody wake up! Don’t relax! Just like we practiced in Korea, get off! Practice!”

“Practice!”

“Practice!”

“Practice!”

Without thinking, my mouth shouted on its own. At the same time, the surrounding soldiers rose up to get off. Of course, I couldn’t live here no matter how much I hated getting off, so it was the same for me.

Rumble!

“Come on, get off!”

“Mr. Lee… !”

The bus door opened and Sergeant Kim shouted to get off. I stood still and weeping, and started to get off following the soldiers who were disembarking first.

Boom, bbam ♪

As the soldiers, armed in front of the bus, began to disembark, a military band started playing outside. I was welcomed and stepped out into the hot sunlight.

Baba Bam ♪ Pam Bam Bam ♪ Baba Bam ♪

“Wheeiik!”

“Welcome!”

“Congratulations!”

Clap clap clap clap!

Not only the military band, but also people wearing military uniforms like us clapped and cheered. Earlier, I thought he was an Arab who looked like a Korean, but his skin was so tanned that he didn’t recognize him as a member of the Armed Forces.

“… ! … !”

Anyway, the soldiers completed disembarking amid numerous welcomes. Among them who were excited to come to an unfamiliar place, I was the only one who looked around with a frightened look.

Where are you? Where are you? Please, where did you go? Right? My mother told me that she was really looking forward to me coming. No. It’s clear that I can’t see it this far… !

“?!”

In an instant, the nape of his neck felt chilly, and his body trembled.

“Hey, why?”

Hyeon-soo, who was watching me from behind, asked a small question, but I didn’t have time to answer it. All I could do now was turn my head, squeaking like an unoiled machine.

Oh, please. Please. My…

“Jiheon! Hey! Jiheon Kang!”

… Feet, what the fuck.

Among the hundreds of Koreans gathered, my father stood as if proud of his great size. He was calling me as loud as his waving hand, grinning with white teeth on his black face!

“Hey! You made eye contact with me! Why are you avoiding it!”

“… !”

“Jiheon! When you meet your father-in-law, you should say hello!”

Upon hearing my name and the word father-in-law, the soldiers started whispering. We got off the bus and stood at the parade ground, waiting to be dispatched, and people near me asked in low voices.

“Jiheon. Do you know him?”

“Is that your father-in-law?”

“Corporate Kang Ji-heon? He is coming here.”

“What, what?!”

When I heard that he was coming, I raised my head hurriedly. As the successor said just now, my father, who was among the welcome group, was striding this way.

“Hey! Jiheon!”

You know what I’ve done, but there was a smile on his face.

“Even during an event! Isn’t that too much, dude!”

My father arrived in front of me and said with a wide smile. Faced with a height of almost 180 and a well-groomed body befitting a mercenary job, my body automatically shrank.

“Jiheon! Are you still ignoring me!”

Percussion!

“Huh?!”

The moment I was hit lightly in the chest, I almost took a step backwards. Surprised by his power, which was strong enough to be comparable to that of his reincarnated demon king, he said hello without hesitation.

“Oh, oh, hello… !”

“Yeah, dude! Hi! It’s been a while!”

“Yes, yes… !”

“What kind of man has such low spirits, dude!”

Pak!

“Ouch?!”

The second time I got hit, I thought I was really falling. But at this time, Sergeant Kim, who was leading us, appeared like a savior.

“Uh? What business do you have right now?”

He asked as he approached, his complexion slightly restored than when he was in the car. My father looked back at Sergeant Kim and replied with a wide smile.

“Ah! Become a leader! I am this father-in-law.”

“Uh, now, your father-in-law?”

“Yes. But can I take him with me?”

“?!”

“Uh, yes?”

When I heard that he was taking me, I felt the sunlight cool. Despite knowing how I feel, my father grabbed me by the shoulders and pulled me toward him.

“The conversation with the captain is over. Excuse me then.”

“Ugh! I-hey!”

“Good job. Come on, Jiheon! Let’s go!”

Sergeant Kim called me, but my father didn’t listen and dragged me away. I looked behind me just in case, but a high-ranking person in the welcome group gestured as if it was okay.

Oh wow, really messed up

At that gesture, Sergeant Kim glanced at me, but then went back to his seat as if nothing had happened. I fell into a deep sense of despair as I watched my friends getting farther and farther away.

“Come on, Jiheon.”

“!”

At this time, my father, who was dragging me along, said in the same voice as before. He didn’t look at this side at all, but only looked at the nearby building and asked.

“What were we going to do when we met?”

“Yes yes?”

“What did you decide to do? When we meet.”

“Uh, that…”

“Hey.”

“!”

For a moment, my father stopped walking and looked back at me like a growl. He poured out his gaze much hotter than the beating sun, and asked again in a clear tone, word for word.

“What did I decide to do when I meet you?”

“… Joe, let’s meet up, he said.”

“Yes?”

As soon as I mentioned the contents of the conversation we had before, my father immediately raised the corner of his mouth. He said as he started walking back like a psycho.

“Jiheon. You’re going to get hit, but it’s kind of like hitting me with a fist. Even if he is a bastard, his name is our son-in-law. Yes?”

“Yes, yes…”

“So, this old man is going to do something different. Oh, I don’t know if Jiheon knows. These days, even Korean police carry it around. Are you curious? Can you tell me?”

“Uh, ah, no…”

“Are you okay. Because I will tell you everything. By any chance, Jiheon is you. Have you ever heard of a Taser gun?”
