Clues
Foggy Rainy Night (3)
48 Floor. Climb in.]
Ji-Won, who has eight shopping bags in both hands and slightly passes through the search bar, manages to recognize the fingerprints after a bit of difficulty. It was the first time in his life that he bought 32 cups of coffee at a time because he hated carrying something in his hand, repeatedly answering for whom he was taking it.
I can't believe I did everything to give a girl a cup of coffee . Ji-Won, who arrives on the 48th floor where the security room is located with great difficulty, takes a deep breath and manages to create a social smile. Although he did not pay much attention to the attention of others, it became difficult to ignore his reputation at all as long as he liked his boss.
"You work hard."
“Oh, Director Cha. Why do you buy so much coffee?
“I went to the cafe for coffee on the way, and the aroma was very good. So I thought it would be great to share it among the guides. I bought a lot. Some are hot and cold, so choose one that suits your taste.”
"Wow Thanks. There's cake too? Cake is very expensive here.”
Besides I have to show you how rich I am . Lee-Jun, who doesn't know about the dark thoughts inside the person offering the coffee with a friendly smile, smiles as he picks up the cake. Until now, there has been little chance of exchanging words with Ji-Won, so the snacks that appear out of nowhere when she feels hungry have vertically increased Ji-Won's liking. He thought he was a very rude person, but he looked a better person than his appearance. In fact, when Lee-Jun meets with Ji-Won for the first time, with his fancy watch and shoes, he feels intimidated. But today he looks cool.
“Is everything okay in Jungcheon?”
“Ya, it's been a long time since quiet. So today, the CEO also stopped by Jungcheon. He's been in the library since morning.”
"…really?"
Lee-Jun, who has never noticed Ji-Won's facial expression change subtly, opens up the three booklets he had taken earlier on his desk. From the date of birth to the time of judgment in Jungcheon, all individual activities are recorded in detail, which is sacred data that cannot be removed or added carelessly. Therefore, only a few people were allowed to see, and it was impossible to take them out of the security room.
Ji-Won glances into the library through the half-opened door, and quietly raises one eyebrow. I wonder what reason I should make to go to Jungcheon, but things are going better than I thought?
“This is the deceased I said on the phone earlier. Today at 16:25, Lim Soo-Huwa sent them to Jungcheon. He usually has no history of forced assistance…. It's kind of weird that three people were killed at once who had been wandering the Earth for five years, so when I checked the book, it was said that everything was burning and came to Jungcheon. Currently, Director Cha is the only one using a weapon to deal with the dead in the Seoul metropolitan area.”
Ji-Won, who has just been staring at the library while listening to Lee-Jun's words, examines the deceased's face drawn on the book's last page and slowly nods her head.
“Oh, he's the one who solved the case. I accidentally watched the scene and drew their faces, but I did not directly tell the deceased about the principle, so I directly handed it to him.”
“Then, can we record it as a collaboration between the two of you?”
"certain. I haven't done anything yet. If you say that I have collaborated by just doing that much, I will be very sorry for the person who chases them by sweating.”
“It is very convenient for us to deal with Lim Soo-Huwa alone but…. The instructor came all the way here. What am I supposed to do? If I knew this would happen, I should have called and explained it in more detail.”
Ji-Won gives Lee-Jun a friendly smile that comes from the bottom of her heart. You can't do that. This is an opportunity I have been looking at all week.
"It's okay. I happen to have a business near here…. ”
"Oh? Brother Ji-Won!”
At this point, Ji-Won, who was about to end her conversation with Lee-Jun and go to the library, frowned slightly as she heard a very bright and loud voice from afar. He wanted to ignore it lightly, but unfortunately, it was a decibel that he could not pretend not to hear. As he tries to suppress his annoyance and looks back, a brightly smiling Sae-Hoo is seen running waving. Automatic outflow.
'Huh ... why does he always appear in critical moments and interrupt? Did I commit a great sin to him in my past life?'
“My brother, what brought you here? The meeting is far away. Did something big happen?”
"NO. Manager Ahn says he wants to check something.”
"What's that?"
Why do you want to know about that? Am I your lover? Why are you so interested in my every move? Ji-Won clenches her teeth to keep the smile on her face. At any moment, he would reply coldly with his eyes raised sharply, but now he was acting as a good comrade, so he could not spit them out according to his nature.
“The story is long. What brings you here?"
"I just came because I'm bored."
“….”
“I heard you bought coffee? Can I drink too?”
Hae-Soo, who suddenly reaches out to grab the coffee Ji-Won is holding, shows an unfair expression when she can't get what she wants and is instead hit on the back of her hand.
"Why? Are you discriminating against me? Do you know how much it means to discriminate against people?
"This is mine. I bought a lot, so drink something else.”
Ji-Won's lips trembled slightly at the point that hit the nail on the head. Although Hae-Soo is not very perceptive, she is good at reading things.Even if you remember the taste of other people's coffee, try to understand that damn atmosphere. Why am I holding an americano ice that I don't even drink, huh? There is a separate owner for this.
“Sometimes I drink. That's today.”
“Then give it to me and drink something else. For some reason, it looks good.”
“It's just your imagination. All coffee is the same.”
“No, it looks different. Isn't that more expensive?”
Heh. Are you an animal? You don't even know the taste of coffee. Why do you have a good feeling? Even if I gave you an Americano, you would still pour sugar into it. Ji-Won, who is secretly kicking her tongue inside, quickly picks up a glass of vanilla latte and half inserts a straw into Hae-Soo's mouth. Fortunately, so far, the employees seem to regard the war of words between the two as just a joke, but if the dispute drags on, his reputation can deteriorate as much as he spends his money.
"I don't crave sweet food today."
Stop it, you punk. I bought over 400,000 won at the coffee shop to hear your complaints? Ji-Won twists her mouth and looks at Hae-Soo, who is sipping coffee with a sullen face. Right at that moment, there was a welcoming sound that made his ears lift.
“Hae-Soo, can I talk to you for a minute? When exactly is the national team test schedule? I think we need to adjust the consultation date.”
“Quick, Hae-Soo. Team Leader Kim is looking for you. Since your Captain is calling you, you should leave first. ”
"Yes sir! I'll go then! Don't go and wait for me, okay? Since it's been a long time since we met, let's have dinner together.”
"All right."
“Don't run! Then I'll cry!”
"All right."
All right, now, please go. Ice will melt at this rate . Ji-Won pushes Hae-Soo's back endlessly which has a suspicious face. Maybe he'll hit Hae-Soo with a full swing if no one sees.
“You senior guides are very close, probably because you two meet often.”
"Ha ha's. You think that?"
Ji-Won, who responds appropriately, smiles sweetly as she naturally hands over an additional note from Lee-Jun's hand.
“I can't refuse Hae-Soo, probably because I don't have a younger brother. Now I have to wait like that because I made such a request. Assistant Manager Ahn, you must be busy, so please work. I'll put this in the library. Can I set it by date and time of death?”
***
What should I do with this case? Gaon, who had long shown an expressionless face without feeling any motivation, sighed and covered the file. His heart was heavy as he could not decide the purpose of the deceased even after reading it twice until the last page.
If the assessment meter was tilted even one degree to either side, there would be no room for one's judgment to intervene. However, sometimes the scale is perfectly leveled, and in this case, it is up to CEO Jungcheon to decide on the goals of the dead. If sins or good deeds exist separately, it is easier to make a decision. But it is not easy to decide where to send the deceased, whose sins and good deeds are equally even.
Early in the morning, the young deceased, who died suddenly with no apparent illness, and in a world without anyone beside him, was ushered into Jungcheon without any disturbance. If he tried to escape even one step without obeying the guide guide, it would be a trip to Myeonggye.
Should I give him the chance to reincarnate immediately because he did not commit many crimes in his life enough to leave a scar? However, if you cannot pay for your sins properly, even if it is a minor mistake, unfinished Karma can make your next life difficult…. When he thought about it from here, it would be better to send him to Myeonggye to be punished neatly. What should I do with this poor boy who has no one to immediately recover the body his soul left behind?
Gaon, who was thinking about the deceased sitting in the corner of the library, closed his eyes tightly to dispel his thoughts. Of course, it was true that the circumstances were sad, but personal interests could not be mixed in Chief Jungcheon's decision. Oh, if only I could drink something cold. Did Kwon say he'd be out for a while…. It was then that Gaon touched his hot forehead and let out a small groan.
"CEO, do you have a headache?"
He thought he could hear a sudden worried voice, but before he checked the person's face, a familiar scent suddenly smelled. It was a pleasant aroma supported by the aroma of fresh and fragrant fruit with a smooth yet heavy birch tree. Although Gaon is the CEO of a cosmetics company and rarely uses perfume because he hates artificial smells, he thought Ji-Won's perfume suited him during his stay in London.
“Director Cha. What brings you here?"
“I'm here because the security office asked me to check something. Are you sick? You don't look healthy.”
"NO. That's because it's a bit hot and I've been focusing for a long time.”
As soon as Gaon's words fell, a plastic glass with water droplets was placed on the table. Gaon, shocked by the service he never expected, opened his eyes wide. Looking at the small clink of ice, he felt refreshed even though he had yet to take a sip.
"…Coffee?"
