LOGINIntuiting the severity of the situation, the security chief surged over frantically and began to escort Han Gyoo-ryeon.They led Han Gyoo-ryeon toward a hidden secret passage inside the waiting room next to the banquet hall. Hyeon-sin also instinctively chased their trajectory from the very back.An endless succession of steep stairs and maze-like corridors followed. Beyond the heavy iron door that finally appeared, a 'safety shelter'—so solid and close to a military facility that it was unbelievable for a regular corporate building—was situated.“It's almost at the level of a fortress.”“True.”Hyeon-sin deliberately put on a sly, exaggerated fuss and guarded Gyoo-ryeon's side. Some twenty armed guards were deployed in layers inside and outside the shelter, but Muhyul's voice heard in her ear was still shaking anxiously.― Shin, I have a bad feeling.Hyeon-sin composedly examined the inside of the
10:00 PM arrived.Hyeon-sin checked her watch again and again, letting out continuous yawns while wishing for the remaining two hours to pass quickly. Usually, time flew by so fast—a month, a week, a day would vanish in the blink of an eye. Why did a single hour feel so agonizingly slow whenever she was on a mission?At any rate, the event proceeded smoothly after that. The trendiest male idols from Estrella came, and the Estrella girl group performed as well. Joo Hyo-jin also sang an aria on stage. Up there, she flaunted a heavenly voice, dominating the space as a pure professional with no trace of her usual bubbly and willful demeanor.One by one, the guests began to return home, and that man called President Baek also turned his back and exited the venue. Hyeon-sin watched them from a distance. Her ears grew dizzy again as Muhyul’s voice came through.― Shin, they’ve been filming a movie since a while ago, so controlling outsiders isn
As expected, Han Gyoo-ryeon was also not a personage who would trust Hyeon-sin easily.Hyeon-sin rather pouted her lips out and wore a coy expression.“Chet, President! To think you treat the gift I gave carelessly... Was the restroom that urgent? By any chance, you didn't throw it away, right?”In order to reverse the atmosphere, Hyeon-sin pointed at Han Gyoo-ryeon's front pocket and showed a disappointed sign.“Uh? Where did I drop it? It's not thrown away! It's dropped!”“I picked this up from the floor near here. You are too much.”Hyeon-sin slightly held out the picked-up handkerchief and ballpen. Han Gyoo-ryeon swept his hair over as if awkward and read Hyeon-sin's face.“Eohyu, I am a bit clumsy. Indeed, if you said you were going around to look for me, the bodyguards would have let you know this place. Sorry.”Whether it was because the person was so good, or because he wa
Hyeon-sin ended up pulling out the fragments of her true heart that she had pressed down deep inside her chest after all.There was no way he would know the terrible truth that she had swallowed without being able to utter after pressing lips with Ga Gye-yeong under the moonlight. That she was Hyeon-sin herself, the owner of the orphanage, that fellow from RAON who goes around doing dangerous missions, and even the fact that she was a woman.“...What?”Gye-yeong's pupils trembled finely. Right at that split second when he straightened his face as if something came to mind and furrowed his brows deeply, Muhyul's sharp voice pierced Hyeon-sin's ears.― Hyeon-sin! Move quickly right now! President Han Gyoo-ryeon disappeared from sight in an instant!Her heart sank thump down. The fond emotion evaporated in a split second, and the agent's instinct dominated her entire body.Hyeon-sin adjusted the mask of the sly part-timer again to c
From 5:00 PM onwards, the density of the air shifted.Amid the festival's heat enveloping the entire company building, outside guests began to flood in explosively. Between the procession of brilliant dresses and sharp suits, an invisible tension dug in while concealing its venomous fangs.[Hyeon-sin, the floating population has surged rapidly. From now on, stick tightly close to Han Gyoo-ryeon's side.]“Haheum...”As Muhyul's instruction struck her ears, Hyeon-sin substituted her answer with a rushing yawn and naturally stepped into Han Gyoo-ryeon's orbit.Pretending to look at the surrounding decorations so as not to buy suspicion, she loitered around the banquet hall while exchanging light eye greetings with fellow bodyguards.[Guests are being guided to the waiting area immediately upon arrival. The number of guards for Han Gyoo-ryeon has also increased to more than twice the usual state.]“Haheum...”As Muhyul's report con
The bluish dawn light faded and before anyone knew, the official commuting hour had arrived.Hyeon-sin was unable to sleep even a single wink all night. It was because the afterimage of the silvery bomb glinting inside the pile of grass flickered when she closed her eyes.And when she listened closely, the rough breathing sounds emitted by Muhyul and the security team while scanning all over the company building leaked through the radio, raising the sense of tension.She was merely waiting while checking her gear in the lodging like a soldier ahead of a sortie.Han Gyoo-ryeon had not arrived at the company yet. Inside Hyeon-sin's head, only the simulation of how to naturally squeeze into his moving line and begin a close marking the moment he set foot in the lobby was repeating.The drone that finished reconnaissance last night vanished from sight, but the ominous lingering emotion it left was heavily settled across the entire company building.
