You Promised Me, Mr. Lee San-ha - Chapter 107

Episode 107: Pooping is not a ‘culture’ (5)

“What about the stag beetle?”

Kim Tae-kyung’s expression hardens at his senior’s questioning.

It was an absurd and unreasonable order, but I couldn’t refuse.

Because it wasn’t the military… it was MI6.

I said, shaking with excitement.

“Oops! I left what I finally caught in the car! Let’s go get it, Taekyung!”

“Huh? What?”

“Whatever.”

First, I leave the dormitory, dragging Kim Tae-kyung’s arm.

A secluded place outside the headquarters building.

Kim Tae-kyung asked.

“Hey, we caught the robber, when did we catch the stag beetle?”

“I know. I know, but if I say I can’t catch it, I’ll just go after it again and waste time catching weird military discipline.”

“I want to get off work too! But I can’t say I have something that doesn’t exist―”

“Let’s just grab anything.”

“… … !”

“Aren’t those humans’ eyes good?”

“How did you know?”

“When I entered the internal affairs office, it took a long time for me to recognize him. He always had a wrinkle between his eyebrows. Since he never goes out on external missions, I guess he’s an agent who works inside. Since he always has his curtains drawn, he must be used to working in the dark or he wants to rest his eyes. I think he’s probably someone who manages equipment or handles radar.”

“… … Almost right. Did you change your job to detective?”

“That’s not important. Anyway, you should prepare a substitute. What would a fool who believes that if he just had a stag beetle, he’d make a fortune overnight know about stag beetles?”

“Is that so?”

“Listen to my brilliant idea.”

I explained the plan to Kim Tae-kyung.

Kim Tae-kyung shudders.

“You crazy bastard! Is that possible?”

“Can you catch that or something similar in this weather?”

“Ah …

“There’s not much time left until I get off work. I’m telling you, if I just finish this, today is over? No. I’m not just thinking about getting off work today. I need to finish this quickly now in order to change my work environment!”

“No, that’s true… … ! Ah… … . I really hate it… … .”

Kim Tae-kyung began to follow me with tears in his eyes.

They say there was no veto in the first place.

* * *

After some time had passed, Taekyung Kim and I opened the door to the dormitory.

The senior in casual clothes got annoyed.

“Why does it take so long to stop by the car and come back?”

I have already prepared the answer to this question.

Kim Tae-kyung said.

“I chased after them because they said they were going in for a vehicle inspection right away, and oh my, it was so hard.”

“Then why did you leave it in the car like a fool and make things difficult for yourself? Anyway, give me what you brought.”

I approached my senior holding a glass bottle.

Then he asked slyly.

“He’s still a puppy, so he’s still a little small, but Taekyung worked hard to catch him, so you’ll love and cherish him, right?”

“Oh, I got it! Give it to me quickly!”

Park Hyun-ho: Promise to cherish and love the bug that Kim Tae-kyung caught.

I said, handing over the glass bottle.

“You have to be careful because it can fly away.”

The moment the bottle touched Park Hyun-ho’s hand, I forced him to keep his promise.

He looked at the glass bottle and started screaming.

“Ewww!”

A breathtaking roar.

He took a deep breath and shouted again.

“So freaking pretty! How can a stag beetle be so sleek?! Oh my god, it’s so damn cute! Can I touch it? Oh, can I just touch something so beautiful? At least I should disinfect my hands before I touch it. Wow, it’s seriously so fucking sacred, seriously… … .”

Park Hyun-ho. He washed his hands with hand sanitizer and carefully put his hand into the bottle.

I warned, turning my eyes away from the horrible sight.

“That… … is a very fast friend, so be careful not to miss him.”

“Okay, okay, I understand.”

Park Hyeon-ho lifted the stag beetle while pretending not to listen.

Bbbbbbbbbbbb-

The sound of the wings flapping in my hand gives me goosebumps.

Kim Tae-kyung and I quickly changed our clothes and said hello.

“Let’s go in! You worked hard today too!”

Park Hyun-ho still wasn’t interested in us.

Like a fanatic fascinated by a holy relic, he kissed the stag beetle.

side!

As soon as Kim Tae-kyung ran out of the dormitory, he started vomiting.

“Ugh! Kkuek!”

I patted him on the back and said,

“You worked hard. Sticking horns between the cockroach’s eyebrows and spraying lacquer… … .”

“Even if you don’t describe it all again… … . Ugh!”

I caught the biggest cockroach wandering around the area and glued the horn I took off my Gunpla to it.

‘Anyway, the mission is cleared.’

Now all the hassle is over.

I went to the representative office.

Knock knock-

I knocked and the door opened.

The representative greeted me with a satisfied smile.

“I heard that you went out on a business trip today and did some amazing work. I guess I should give our senior reporter some of his daily salary. Hehehehehe!”

“Yes. Well, that’s that… … I’m thinking of changing the direction of the article a bit.”

“… … ?”

He just wiggled his eyebrows with a smiling face.

Seeing is believing.

I took out my phone and started playing the recorded file.

[Our Taekyung~ Is life as a security guard comfortable?]

[no!]

[Hey~ Why are you like that~? It’s so damn comfortable~ It’s so comfortable that they didn’t even provide new employee training. Right?]

[I will correct it!]

[Ugh, you fucking Taekyung! Let’s do better, okay?]

The representative’s expression gradually darkens.

But it didn’t end there.

This time, I played a video.

[This is a waiting period for new recruits. Don’t you know that you are prohibited from touching for a week?]

[Then you are right.]

Phew!

Kim Tae-kyung gets hit in the video.

I clicked my tongue.

“I think an accusatory article would be better than an advertisement, right?”

“This, this… … was to establish a strong security system by establishing the hierarchy and military discipline of the agents.”

Where did you hear such nonsense?

It’s such a pathetic excuse for someone who’s cornered.

“Hmm… … . You don’t know how sensitive people are to ‘poop military’ these days, do you? It’ll probably get 100 times more views than articles about children’s career paths. The article will definitely have a big effect. Competitors.”

The representative’s pupils begin to shake violently.

“What do you want from me?”

I didn’t answer.

Because by the time this statement was made, the goal had already been achieved.

‘I’m telling you to be smart and use your sword well.’

The CEO now knows how damaging this recording and video footage could be to the company if it were made public.

If I keep the promise I made when we first met in this state… … .

Kim Taek-jin (MI6 representative): I promise to do my best for the security company MI6.

“Please, please refrain from making this public! I will do whatever you tell me to do! Even if you tell me to dance in Gwanghwamun in my underwear, I will do it… … . Even if you tell me to do a striptease in Sindorim Station, I will do it… … ! Please, please let me protect MI6!”

I said, lifting the pen.

“Well then, shall we start with some simple document work?”

* * *

The contract is renewed.

Of course, the main content of the contract was about the relationship between employees.

Content related to ‘workplace bullying’ corresponding to Articles 6, 72, and 109 of the Labor Standards Act was also added.

Every employee of this company comes to the CEO’s office, signs in, and then leaves.

Of course, there were some who opposed it.

“This is our company’s tradition!”

“If there is no proper hierarchy, how can you systematically deal with a situation that arises on site? To do that, you need to have a well-organized chain of command from the beginning!”

“I’ve been through three years of fucking shit and now I’ve had some free time, and now you want to get rid of me? No way. I can’t do it!”

But CEO Kim Taek-jin’s response was firm.

“Yeah~ Don’t do that~ If you don’t follow the law, you’ll be the only one getting sued~.”

Yes, that’s right.

This is society, not the military.

Violation of the workplace bullying law is punishable by imprisonment for up to 3 years or a fine of up to 30 million won.

If you mess up, you have no choice but to be punished.

Eventually, all the employees signed the contract.

… … Among them, there was one person who had no interest in updating contracts or anything like that.

“It’s a really pretty stag beetle. If you look closely, it doesn’t look like a stag beetle, but I don’t care.”

It was Park Hyeon-ho who fell in love with a cockroach.

Park Hyeon-ho, who was looking into the glass bottle, suddenly shouted.

“Hey! Now that I look at it… … .”

Has he finally been caught?

When Kim Tae-kyung and I turned our heads, Park Hyeon-ho was kissing his pet wheel.

“How did you get so cute?! Oh my, you’ve gotten even cuter in the time since I last saw you!”

I turned my head.

I don’t think I’ll have any more business with this company.

* * *

Tae-kyung Kim and I left MI6 headquarters and went to the parking lot.

The moment Kim Tae-kyung started the car, I got a phone call.

“hello?”

[Oh, hello! How did you get in safely? Oh, I’m the police officer who listened in on the situation after the hostage situation ended.]

“Ah, I understand when I hear your voice. Yes, we got off work safely.”

[I’m contacting you because we decided to give you the Brave Citizen Award. I really want you to stop by our office.]

I appreciate it, but I’m not sure if I should accept it.

Because I thought the situation was a bit ambiguous.

“But it wasn’t that I was there as a regular citizen and subdued him, it was that it happened during my daily experience as a security guard―”

[You’re not an official employee of the company, right? Then you’re a target. It’s still a secret, but I’ve prepared a reward. Please come visit me.]

“I will come see you right now.”

Isn’t the Brave Citizen Award the most honorable award for modern people?

I’ve never been attracted to monetary things like rewards.

Then the police added one more word.

[Could you please bring me some honey and fruit? The elders who received help from the bank keep leaving things for you.]

“Okay. I’ll empty the trunk and go.”

I ended the call.

Just then, Kim Tae-kyung opened his mouth.

“I think you’re kind of a genius.”

“You’re suddenly overdoing it.”

“No. Honestly, I thought that this company work couldn’t be helped even if you didn’t step up. I’ve received so much help in the past, so I just whined because it was hard.”

Kim Tae-kyung continues speaking as he gets into the driver’s seat.

“It was all thanks to you that I met Hyun-ji, that I was able to buy this car, and that you saved Se-yeol from drugs. You… … Um, I’m not good at Korean so I can’t speak it well, but you seem like a really great person. Thank you, my friend.”

Suddenly, a quest I had forgotten about came to mind.

– Clear! to break down the internal irregularities of the company where Kim Tae-kyung is working!

Reward: Kim Tae-kyung’s favor.

At first I thought it was a bit of a small reward, but when I actually received it, I didn’t feel so bad about it.

How often in life do you get to be so properly appreciated and acknowledged by a friend?

‘I feel like I had a fulfilling holiday, in a way.’

As I was nodding, Kim Tae-kyung continued speaking.

“So I have to repay you.”

“Okay~ What’s between us?”

“No. On my way back after receiving the Brave Citizen Award… … .”

“Oh, you said you were going to treat me? Are you going to eat something delicious?!”

“Let’s go to the gym. I’ll make you a toned bodybuilder with my free personal training.”

… … ?

“Don’t worry, Inma. I’ll make sure you get 350 hits in 3 months!”

There’s no need for that.

I ignored Kim Tae-kyung’s words and checked the status window.

A new notification appears above the status bar.

[§§§Monthly Quest Completion Reward§§§ ~Receive it for free~ ☞ Click the status window right now… … .]

Accept the reward without thinking much about it.

The field of vision is filled with a bright golden light.

A fast-spinning slot machine interface.

… … Chorus … … Chorus!

The rotation stopped, but there was nothing.

This is because monthly quest rewards do not show results right away like weekly quest rewards.

So I found out later.

… … The fact that this reward will allow me to experience something strange that I will never experience again in my life.
