Chapter 241 – (Episode 241) 34. Individual Breakdown

(Episode 241)

“Come in, I didn’t know if I would bring you, so please understand the mess.”

Contrary to her easy-going tone, the expression of Jin-ah Cho, who entered her house ahead of her, was clearly embarrassed.

“It smells good like you and it’s not as messy as expected.”

“Is that a compliment?”

“Of course, there’s nothing to be ashamed of because it’s much bigger and nicer than the semi-basement room I used to live in.”

“When did you say I was embarrassed? You don’t know how luxurious apartments like this are in Hong Kong.”

Han Myeong-sik left a three-person sofa next to him and sat down on the bed.

“I heard that Hong Kong has a bad living environment, but I have to work hard to maintain apartments like this.”

“Take that as a sign of my ability.”

To the point of her open bragging, Cho Jin-ah’s house was no bigger or better than a one-room studio in Korea’s metropolitan area, but she seemed suitable for a woman in her 20s to live alone.

“Did you put decorations or props here as camouflage?”

“Does it look like that?”

“No, I look good with you.”

“Nice to see, except for the monitor here, I decorated everything else. Don’t touch your underwear there.”

“I wore it, and it smells good. But I have four monitors, so why can’t I see the computer?”

Cho Jin-ah, who nervously threw her panties from Myeong-shik Han’s hand into her built-in washing machine, sat down on a chair in front of her monitor.

“What if I leave my computer here and the Hong Kong police come in?”

“Then on the desk is that a modem or something?”

“Yeah, as long as the power is turned off, you will never know where I was or what I was doing.”

“What is a laptop?”

“This is what I personally use, and there’s not much to see inside.”

Han Myeong-shik, who climbed onto her bed and sat down with her long legs stretched out, pointed out her familiar screen running on a single monitor.

“What is the game there?”

“This is a kind of messenger used to report to the company or receive activity fees.”

“Isn’t it just the screen turned on?”

“Yes, I can play myself. Right now I’m running auto because of the log.”

“What does it mean to receive activity fees through games?”

“You don’t know anything about this, do you?”

Whether she thought she had caught her weakness, Jo Jin-ah’s act of hooking up looked cute again.

“Because you’re interested, what am I supposed to know about this?”

“That… Then you won’t have to teach me.”

“Don’t be picky, just tell me because I’m curious about how you work.”

There is an excuse that it is because of her mission, but she needs to be prepared as a woman when she brings a man to her room. Jo Jin-ah, who even turned her ears red, managed to manage her expression.

“If the company character hands over the game money, a specialized company converts it into cryptocurrency.”

“Oh… Such a good method is novel, isn’t it?”

“Something new, it’s possible because a Korean company runs the game.”

“Isn’t China like this too?”

“That’s right, these days, Chinese mobile games are serviced all over the world. As long as you have a mobile phone, you can apply for real-time funding anytime, anywhere.”

“In the old spy movies, people put a lot of bills in a silver bag and handed them over, but these days it’s on a different level.”

“When are you talking about it, it’s been a while since this method was introduced.”

She seemed lighthearted, but confident in her tone. Han Myeong-sik lay on her bed like her own and inhaled the smell of a woman her age.

“Huh… I like the smell, isn’t it hard to work alone?”

“I keep asking what the hell it smells like… It’s not hard, so I work alone.”

“Hong Kong is said to be a special administrative region, but isn’t it scary that it is China?”

“After the Umbrella Revolution, the CCP’s direct interference seems to have decreased, but it is true that it has become more bloody than before.”

“I can’t do anything without faith.”

“What if you do it for money?”

I liked the defiant look in her eyes, albeit with a slight shrug of her shoulders.

“That’s a more convincing reason.”

“My country is definitely China.”

“But you work for Korea?”

“Because of the money.”

“Do you really need to use superpowers?”

“Han Myung-sik, you are a bad man.”

Her glaring eyes were charming, so I didn’t pay much attention to her beauty and body that didn’t meet the standard.

“I saw you well, you’re a bad guy who can’t use his legs when it comes to women.”

“I roughly noticed it when the company warned me.”

“Why did you bring me home when you said you noticed?”

“You said you would come, I told you to do my best to help you, but what should I do?”

“Didn’t we decide to be honest?”

“I never promised.”

“Uh… That’s right, I didn’t promise.”

Jo Jin-ah, as if her patience had run out, got up from her chair and pulled her Han Myeong-sik’s toe.

“How long will you be here, get out of my bed.”

“How many men have I entered this room?”

“That kind of question is unpleasant, I have no reason to answer.”

“You should do your best to help me.”

“Don’t force yourself, check the list sent by the company first.”

Han Myeong-sik buried his face in the pillow after seeing the list being uploaded on one monitor by clicking the mouse.

“Haaa… Jin-ah smells good, do you wear clothes when you sleep or take off everything?”

“Hey!”

“I understand it because it’s been a long time since I’ve been in a woman’s room.”

I’m not kidding, I can’t remember the last time I visited a decent room where a woman was alone.

I couldn’t go to Claire Lopez’s room because we were living together, and Anna Ivanova’s room in Russia two years ago was a similar case.

I went there a few times when I was scouting a volleyball player, but all of them were when my private life was a mess, and nothing happened even in that room.

“I want you to protect the fact that we met because of our mission.”

“I’m serious?”

“Huh.”

“Do you have a boyfriend you are dating?”

“Don’t you think it would be difficult for your job?”

“Did you give up dating for life?”

“Please don’t pick it up and tell me.”

“Is it your personality that is picky?”

“I hate to tell you.”

If you even occupy the bed and withdraw at this time, you will starve to death.

“Since I spent yesterday in a hotel room, I want to spend today in Jina’s room.”

“Who made it happen?”

“You have a supporting role.”

“If I have to do this kind of support, I’ll quit.”

“Really?”

“Is it like a bluff?”

“Anyway, I have nothing to regret.”

I hate her for playing the game properly, but why is her heart racing and restless?

“Hey, don’t fall asleep!”

“I couldn’t sleep last night because I was suffering all night. I’ll sleep for a while.”

“This is real! What kind of woman puts a man who boasts of a night out with her other woman to sleep in her own bed?”

“It’s okay to make an excuse that it’s because of the mission, why do you keep asking?”

“I will call the police!”

“When the police come, they will ask about that monitor, not me.”

Knowing that she was in a position where she could not report being raped, Jo Jin-ah slumped back in her chair and sighed.

“Whew… What happened to you, can’t you talk?”

“A guy who couldn’t even talk to women when he was sick got superpowers, so I understand that you’re broad-minded and pretty.”

“You keep saying I’m pretty, but you’re teasing me knowing I’m wearing makeup, right?”

“Don’t you know the original immutable law? You are good enough.”

“Ever since I was young, I wasn’t popular because I was dark and unfeminine.”

Gently raising her head, Jo Jin-ah was staring out the window in a crouching posture with her hands tucked between her thighs.

“Is it different from now?”

“I was forced to change it when I was growing up.”

“To overcome trauma?”

“It’s not that tidy.”

“Then why care? You’re much more attractive now.”

“Do you think you are really attractive?”

“In the Middle Ages, how many men would hate a woman who is confident and does her job well?”

“Why do you choose to say only words I think you will like?”

“What the heck, you’re doing it to eat.”

“Hey!”

Jo Jin-ah, who was about to jump up and swing her fists, seemed to be running into her arms, so she hesitated, then calmed down and sat down again.

“Does your appearance affect your work?”

“Not really, because most missions primarily analyze and hand over information collected locally.”

“You express your translation grandiosely.”

“A level of condescension that does not exaggerate information only helps with income.”

“You’re being honest, did the NIS director tell all my friends?”

“Do whatever you want, the excuses are piled up like a mountain.”

“You mean you believe in the CCTVs hidden all over the house?”

How did she know that it was installed at the level of a hidden camera, she realized that her opponent was a psychic.

“Did you figure it out with psychic powers?”

“I can’t reveal all the business secrets, check the CCTV records.”

“Why?”

“It’s a surefire way to see if he’s worth working with, so check it out.”

It was just a few clicks of a keyboard and a mouse, so Jin-ah Cho checked the CCTV records stored in real-time in the database of the National Intelligence Service.

“Uh… ? This… How is this…”

“Isn’t there a scene where you talk to yourself on a bed with no one else?”

“Oh my god… You’re a psychic…”

“I can’t throw a fireball like in the game, but isn’t it pretty cool?”

“Eww… Yeah, that’s really great… !”

Han Myeong-sik, who was proud of the sincere admiration reaction, had a lot of triumphant expressions.

“Are you interested in me now?”

“What are you interested in…”

“Did you bring me to your room?”

“What do you want to hear?”

“An honest story.”

“When did I lie?”

“I know… I didn’t lie, I told you about my childhood.”

“Why do you keep hitting on me?”

Han Myeong-sik sat up and answered with a rather serious expression.

“Because I am interested in you.”

“What does it mean?”

“You came to the house of a woman of the same age and said you were interested. Is there any other meaning?”

“It’s just a business relationship we met because of a mission.”

“The mission only proceeds when I promise to do it, haven’t you heard that explanation from the company?”

“I heard you.”

The way she answered with her mouth tightly closed gave me a pathetic feeling thanks to her relatively small body, so I deliberately cheered her up.

“But I don’t think you would have accepted Jo Jin-ah’s changed personality, right?”

“Right, I complained about following the instructions unconditionally, and they told me never to go against your will.”

“Wouldn’t the company point out if I knew I was going against it?”

“Since I’m talking about CCTV, the company can’t find out.”

“Oh… After all, you have sense!”

“I’ve already worked on this floor for over 3 years, take care of my business.”

“I’m interested in that atmosphere.”

“I’m serious?”

“I’m an expert in information gathering and analysis, but can’t you tell if I’m lying?”

“Don’t argue with me because it’s the qualifications of a woman who has never been interested in a man like you.”

“I’m more attractive because I’m honest. Are you curious about the truth I came to know when I got superpowers?”

How many women would not be shaken when a man who is more handsome and cool than their favorite K-pop idol praises them for being attractive?

Knowing that her first wariness as well as her sense of distance from her work relationship had all collapsed, Jo Jin-ah nodded her head, trying to calm her trembling heart.

“What did you find out?”

“The fact that looks don’t account for a lot in a person’s true charm.”

“What is it…”

“What?”

“You didn’t realize such a textbook truth until after gaining psychic powers?”

“I thought you would be impressed, but the reaction was unexpected.”

“I will impress you no matter how much, so tell me why you realized the truth later than others.”

It is definitely not common because it is a local intelligence asset recognized for its ability by the NIS. Han Myeong-sik used his psychic powers out of vain repulsion.

“I’ll make you realize for yourself, that your true charm doesn’t change just because you become this pretty and sexy.”

“What do you mean, what is my charm… Uh? Uhh… ? What… What is my… My body… ? Ah… Ahhh!!”

Her A-cup breasts bulged out of her bra, and the feeling of her pants tightening as her limbs stretched out made Jo Jin-ah scream at her.
