Chapter 37

“Loyalty! Sergeant Lee Seung-uk. Received the order of discharge···.”

“Hey hey, enough. Don’t shout a bit.”

Around the time leaves began to fall on the Korea University campus someone suddenly came to the Department of Economics building where Yi-hyeon was listening to the lecture.

Precisely Sergeant Lee Seung-uk. Why isn’t there, the one who was Senior Brother Bodeok’s disciple.

If coming should do quietly a bit wearing loose civilian clothes pretending to dress up and what is that salute.

Anyway whether 707 is 707 though he only informed that Yi-hyeon attended Korea University and enlisted he luckily came to the Department of Economics building matching Yi-hyeon’s lecture time.

“First let’s go out.”

“Yes. Junior uncle today’s lecture ended right?”

Did this bastard dig my back? Why does he know such things?

“···You, first don’t make that junior uncle sound. If someone sees they laugh saying watched too many martial arts movies.”

“That, then what should I call··· if Monk Bodeok knows it is a matter of being broken tremendously···.”

Lee Seung-uk was restless like a puppy needing to poop.

“Think about that later and first don’t make junior uncle sound. Understand?”

“···Yes.”

The two people entered a nearby pub and sat. Though still bright daytime but thinking that to just discharged Lee Seung-uk alcohol would be more urgent than sweet coffee.

“Auntie, give one bottle of soju here too.”

Seeing Lee Seung-uk’s signs thinking bland beer would not even reach the liver he ordered soju too. Meaning ruin it.

Sure enough seeing alcohol Lee Seung-uk’s face brightened.

“I will eat well.”

Yes yes, eat well···

“What is the plan from now on?”

When Lee Seung-uk drank soju and beer in succession, Yi-hyeon asked from the curious thing.

“Yes? Plan? I just as junior uncle instructs···.”

“Tsk! I said don’t make junior uncle sound.”

“Yes.”

Looking at Lee Seung-uk who tightly closed his mouth the inside became frustrated.

Seeing the signs it seems there is nowhere to go. As heard occasionally such people come out at Guleopsa. People who somehow connected and came to Guleopsa with no family from childhood.

If no particular matter just becoming a monk by leaving home would do, but there are people who do not even correspond to that. Precisely humans like Lee Seung-uk in front.

According to Senior Brother Bodeok who can see a bit Lee Seung-uk’s fate is not to become a monk.

Then what to do?

“You, up to where did you come out of school?”

“Yes. I came out of Seongdong Junior College in Daegu.”

In fact Lee Seung-uk’s age was two years older than Yi-hyeon. But to Lee Seung-uk the most important is precisely Guleopsa. Judging by the connection there Lee Seung-uk is not in a position to put age forward to Yi-hyeon. Also he himself seems to have not a fingernail’s thought of doing so.

Yi-hyeon pondered. In fact if Monk Muae is not related just telling to go his own path would do. But various things are caught. Also even looking at Senior Brother Bodeok’s face he cannot push away.

“What do you know how to do?”

At Yi-hyeon’s question Lee Seung-uk suddenly reddened his face.

“I have no study head and no time either. So while attending junior college I quit other things and only did English hard. So···.”

Even without saying more he knows. Growing up as an orphan running several part-time jobs and eating and living would have been tight. At least since he does English it seemed he could gradually look for work.

“Let’s be together with me for a while. I will look for your work.”

“Yes. Thank you. Please order anything.”

That way Yi-hyeon unexpectedly came to have an employee similar to a secretary. There are five rooms in the Seongsu-dong penthouse and there is also a guest room. Having one person is nothing.

Lee Seung-uk who became a comfortable face as if worries and concerns disappeared gradually began to talk about his own matters. Because Yi-hyeon recommended alcohol and asked calmly.

“I was born in Busan, when young the parents passed away all at once. Yes, it was a traffic accident.”

Yi-hyeon momentarily felt his chest tingle.

There is another person like me···

“So in high school I went even to Japan as a taekwondo athlete···.”

Listening to Lee Seung-uk’s words Yi-hyeon kept pouring him alcohol.

Though a hard life he wanted to give comfort to him who grew up upright. Yes, leaving age aside.

Yi-hyeon living together with Lee Seung-uk did a few necessary things.

“From now on I will give you salary. When I go to the US in winter and establish a corporation after that salary going out affiliated to that corporation will do but before that I will give personally.”

“Yes. Thank you.”

Lee Seung-uk does not even ask how much salary he will give.

“This is given separately regardless of salary. A kind of··· right, allowance. With this go out and buy some clothes and wear, change the phone too. To a good one.”

Lee Seung-uk answered with an awkward expression.

“My clothes are still wearable? No fallen places either.”

“Tsk. Do as told. Go and buy autumn clothes and wear. Oh. Since the words came out I have to buy a car.”

“A car?”

While attending school there was no matter to ride a car, and when going down to Seong-an Hermitage he rode the old SUV father used, but that car is also too old so a new car is needed.

Wait··· when drawing cars shall he draw two anyway. Since there is this kid too.

Yi-hyeon glanced at Lee Seung-uk and thought. Shall he have this kid pick the car too.

“This is the latest model, if choosing this color it takes a little more time they say.”

One day after Yi-hyeon instructed Lee Seung-uk spread the catalog wide in front of Yi-hyeon’s eyes and explained. Like a skilled car salesperson.

Yi-hyeon glanced at Lee Seung-uk who was explaining hard without looking at the catalog.

“I recommend this as the car the successor will ride.”

And the vehicle he spread exactly in front of Yi-hyeon’s eyes. It is Benz’s G-Wagen. And since he made him not call junior uncle it seems he created the title of successor after pondering.

But that also has to be not called. What is successor embarrassingly successor.

“This of course falls behind Range Rover in ride comfort or convenience. But in firmness and exit feeling this car is much better, of course.”

“Exit feeling?”

When Yi-hyeon tilted his head and asked, Lee Seung-uk quickly answered.

“These days exit feeling rather than ride comfort.”

And closed his mouth.

He heard these days they do not make paper catalogs like this and distribute to customers. If curious about various specs about the car enter the official homepage and confirm. But Lee Seung-uk deliberately went around stores in Gangnam and obtained catalogs.

This friend might unexpectedly have good sense. Indeed growing up as an orphan he would have experienced all sorts.

As a result Yi-hyeon drew a total of three cars including one domestic SUV. The domestic SUV was received right away, but the remaining two have to wait a few months they say. Because they were popular foreign cars.

Bentley Flying Spur and G-Wagen G63 AMG 4MATIC.

All cars that have to wait quite a while and since he ordered the highest tuning of BRABUS company for the G-Wagen it will take more time.

“Don’t worry. All will be able to receive within a month or two.”

Lee Seung-uk smiled slightly and said.

How?

“I used a little hands. Going through a couple of stages, there was a person I know so pulled the delivery schedule.”

Thinking again, this friend has sense!

And for the car he will ride he chose the highest domestic SUV. Not that the specs are high-end but practical and tough car. At first Lee Seung-uk insisted why need a personal car since he will drive Yi-hyeon’s car from now on, but Yi-hyeon just told him to choose.

You, will you drive a Bentley even when doing your personal business? When said so he nodded without any words.

Cannot even give one car to him who will do his errands from now on? Moreover when Yi-hyeon establishes a corporation in the US establish that branch in Korea and if that corporation takes over the car it does. A kind of corporate vehicle. If done well after establishing the corporation in the US and the car comes out registering in the corporation’s name will also do.

What cannot do so. Saving taxes that way too.

Lee Seung-uk whether guessing Yi-hyeon’s financial power living in Trumage seemed not to mind the car price at all.

* * *

That way one day a little time flowed since Lee Seung-uk came to stick and live with Yi-hyeon.

After class ended Yi-hyeon was going to the parking lot. These days Yi-hyeon rides the domestic SUV Lee Seung-uk drives. Because the Bentley and G-Wagen have not arrived yet. Lee Seung-uk who volunteered to be Yi-hyeon’s hands and feet has not a bit of crease even while driving.

Such he opened his mouth.

“Contact came from Yu Min-seon.”

“Who? Yu Min-seon?”

Yi-hyeon was puzzled at first. But with an extraordinary head he quickly remembered that name.

“Aha, National Intelligence Service!”

“Yes, correct.”

“How does that woman contact you? You seem to have wide feet more than you look?”

Lee Seung-uk smiled awkwardly and answered.

“That woman contacted around the time I discharged.”

“Huh? For what? Ah, telling you to enter the National Intelligence Service? Humph, came to scout.”

“Yes.”

“But did that woman find you or find me?”

Lee Seung-uk hesitated and opened his mouth.

“Anyway it seems she intends to make a scout offer to the successor again to the National Intelligence Service. I have a friend I know in the National Intelligence Service so when I looked into it, these days that woman is quite hard they said.”

“Why hard? And saying again you are really a social butterfly?”

“Ah, in the National Intelligence Service there is a senior I know as a white agent. Until recently at the headquarters and went out to the Japan branch.”

“Really. So, when asking that senior Team Leader Yu Min-seon is in a difficult situation these days?”

“Yes. Not long ago there was an incident where a compatriot was abducted in Indonesia and eventually murdered, at that time the person in charge of that incident was Team Leader Yu Min-seon they said. Lost one agent and one received serious injury. Well that senior also did not say detailed talk.”

Not saying detailed talk. If this much completely exposed the inside.

Anyway it seems he has to meet once. So that not saying twice from now on.

When Yi-hyeon decided Lee Seung-uk immediately made a place with Yu Min-seon.

“Long time no see.”

At Yi-hyeon’s greeting Yu Min-seon opened her eyes wide and said.

“Long time no see. Wow! Became cooler.”

Inside a cafe in Bangbae-dong a little away from school. Perhaps because autumn rain was falling drizzling outside the cafe was quiet.

After asking simple regards to each other Yu Min-seon began to bring out the main point.

“Actually last month a little problem arose at the company for me.”

Lee Seung-uk sitting separately in the seat beside sent a gaze this way. Because guessing the content.

“Huu. So my team is also in a collapsed state now. I am on standby order.”

The Yu Min-seon talking now was hard to recall the nickname of the Capital Defense Command witch who flew in the past. Just looks like a mid-level team leader receiving stress at the workplace.

Yi-hyeon slowly opened his mouth.

“Yes, it wouldn’t be that you came to find me to say those words, surely not saying again that you will scout me in the midst of that or such talk right?”

Company, that is National Intelligence Service matters are not even curious and even if asking they will not answer.

Yu Min-seon hesitated and opened her mouth.

“Well, that is talk unrelated to Song Yi-hyeon. Um, Song Yi-hyeon. Really don’t misunderstand and listen. I once saw the investment details of Song Yi-hyeon pulled by superior’s instruction.”

What is she saying, this woman!

Yi-hyeon began to twist his inside.

“Accurately it is not that I pulled the materials, after my team was disbanded a friend who was a team member did that work and then accidentally told me.”

Going well, National Intelligence Service!

Some executive opened the civilian Yi-hyeon’s securities account, and the practitioner who performed that work spilled that fact to Yu Min-seon in front.

All violations of security rules. Though he does not know if discovered internally it will not end with one or two people receiving discipline.

Before Yi-hyeon even had room to get angry Yu Min-seon continued the words. From here she lowered the already low voice even more. To the point that even Lee Seung-uk in the seat right beside would not hear.

“Another rumor I heard is that that executive also could not help it they say. Precisely a request through CIA or the US Forces Korea command that is, there would have been a request from the US NSA.”

What is this talk again?
