Precious Guest

The Blue House security chief tightly gripped a fist under the table.

“Receiving loyalty pledges in Busan······.”

“Said gathering and uniting Busan’s public sentiment as one.”

The president smiled satisfactorily.

“Said thoroughly controlling so no annoying noise heard until the presidential election.”

“The central intelligence director······.”

“Anyway the situation turning in the Busan Gyeongnam side not quite ordinary.”

The president slightly furrowed the brow.

“I’m not worrying about civil uprising and coup for nothing.”

The Blue House security chief couldn’t refute.

Because he who watched by the side how much the president recently tensed nerves on Busan and Gyeongnam knows better than anyone.

“That side public sentiment quite fierce.”

After the Yushin Constitution enactment student movements and citizen movements also occurred in Busan.

Inflation rate soared due to the first oil shock, and while promoting heavy chemical industry promotion policy investments accordingly rapidly expanded.

In a position of having to divide and use limited capital, as heavy chemical industry became a black hole sucking market funds the damage to small and medium enterprises growing natural result.

Many small and medium companies in the Busan and Masan areas that were the center of light industry directly hit.

Due to that Busan and Gyeongnam area public sentiment greatly worsened.

“Even the troops controlling Busan Port not something to ignore.”

Busan Port as the domestic largest international port strives in coast and port management.

Busan Port defense squadron belonging to the 3rd Fleet patrols this coast.

The 7th Mobile Flotilla, maritime police, Jinhae Base Command link and monitor.

The 1st Marine Division also supports coastal rapid deployment units.

Land inside the port under the jurisdiction of Army 53rd Division, checks if stowaways occur when ships enter port.

“There weapons smuggled discovered in large quantities.”

Guns 80,000, tanks 9, gunpowder and bombs 10 tons.

“Can say a powder magazine just before exploding. Gripped the reins seizing such Busan in such short time.”

The president drank Royal Salute gulp gulp.

Even wiping the mouth corner with the back of the hand the raised mouth corner didn’t know to come down.

“Ahead of the presidential election Jae-guk did a very big matter.”

In front of an undeniable great merit the Blue House security chief couldn’t even reply.

Recently the president’s mood looks the best.

“Thanks to greatly lessened worries.”

“Then I should offer one glass of congratulatory liquor.”

The Blue House security chief forced a smile and lifted the Royal Salute bottle.

Trickle.

The Blue House security chief filled the president’s liquor glass.

The president looked down at that appearance with cold eyes.

“Presidential election right in front.”

A cold voice.

“The sound not uselessly stirring the public sentiment hard calmed.”

A sharp warning not to touch the central intelligence director.

The Blue House security chief lowered the head.

“Your Excellency, please put down worries.”

The fist hidden under the table tightly gripped once more.

Blood vessels protruding on the back of the hand about to burst, and the palm the nails dug into pale white yet.

The Blue House security chief smiling.

“If causing meaningless disturbance and disturbing Your Excellency’s mood at such important time okay. Will assist with loyalty.”

“Yes, have to.”

The president tilted the liquor glass leisurely with legs crossed.

Today particularly the scent and taste soft and sweet.

“Said seems will take about a month.”

“What?”

“Until returning after Busan cleanup.”

“······Yes.”

The Blue House security chief as if a large stone chunk tightly blocked in the throat.

Busan a place he particularly carefully looked into together with Seoul.

“When returns let’s drink one glass of congratulatory liquor together.”

“······Yes.”

“Drink.”

As the president gestured with eyes, the Blue House security chief also lifted the liquor glass with Royal Salute into the air.

Gulp gulp gulp!

The Blue House security chief finished the strong liquor like drinking cold water.

Today particularly the liquor uniquely bitter and strong.

Ding dong!

As soon as the doorbell rang opened the main gate with a whoosh.

Yerin opening eyes round.

I grinned.

“Come in.”

“How knew?”

“What?”

“Opened the door as soon as pressed the doorbell.”

Yerin glanced around me.

Looking shashashak as if I hid something behind.

“By any chance oppa also the grim reaper teaching and such?”

What?

That guy making excuses not intervening in this world matters and watching dramas all day.

“Otherwise how can open the door exactly as if waited?”

Because waiting.

You the day coming for misfortune prevention today.

“Amazing. Hehehe.”

Yerin smiled bashfully and took one step inside the main gate.

But that moment, Yerin stopped abruptly.

“Uh?”

Yerin opened eyes round and looked around shashashak again.

“Why?”

“Precious guest didn’t come?”

“Guest?”

“Extremely terrifying person. But a person who will become very very big strength to oppa. Will come today.”

I tilted the head.

Who such person?

“No visit appointment today?”

“Wasn’t out in advance to greet the guest?”

“······Skillful.”

“Correct? Indeed so? Knew would be so.”

The transparent red vermilion bird sitting on Yerin’s shoulder cried piyak piyak.

I tightly pressed Yerin’s forehead with a finger.

“Yes.”

Came out to greet you, you.

Have to say that with my mouth necessarily?

Yerin covered the forehead with both maple leaf-like hands.

“Ayat! Hurts!”

“Exaggeration.”

“No.”

“Continuously saying no?”

“No!”

“You that habit?”

“Said hurt······.”

No way?

Not even stamped with nails.

“Move the hand.”

Only then Yerin lowered the hands.

A pure white and plump pretty forehead revealed.

Smooth without even one reddened hand mark.

Yerin glanced glances.

“If ho- seems will get better.”

Ears reddened and lowers eyes demurely.

Eyebrows trembling.

‘Ha······!’

This tiny one already trying to bewitch people.

I tightly pressed Yerin’s forehead exposed defenselessly once more.

“Ayat!”

“Why doing unaccustomed act?”

“Ssi······.”

Yerin sobbed covering the forehead with maple leaf-like hands.

“Oppa fool. Not knowing anything······.”

“What I not knowing?”

“Not even knowing what fate entangled with the precious guest coming today······.”

That natural?

“I’m not a shaman how know such?”

“Saying a person deeply entangled in fate with oppa······.”

“Yes?”

Then no need to see more.

Bad fate?

If fate deeply entangled with me all betrayal or grudge.

Had to be extremely unfortunate every fate entangled thanks to heavenly punishment.

“Heuung, dying curious who.”

Yerin tilted the head sideways.

When raising the head with a whoosh somehow eyes sparkling sparkling.

“Good! Today will do misfortune prevention slowly, very sloooowly!”

Why conclusion so?

Don’t know what entered inside this small head.

Can’t know at all what thinking how?

I stroked Yerin’s small head.

“Trying hard.”

“Ssi······!”

“Let’s go in. Tuna sashimi will all melt.”

“······Yes?”

“Set one table in advance because you coming. Just fresh tuna and seafood entered.”

“I can’t eat sashimi?”

“Then eat seafood. Lobster also, abalone also.”

“Can’t eat such well either?”

Baby taste this?

Yerin smiles bashfully.

“Can eat ramen? Or jjajangmyeon!”

“Ha······!”

You when living earning one day eating one day together in the semi-basement room.

Really upset because sick you continuously saying will only eat ramen.

Seemed causing unnecessary worry because of my obvious pocket situation.

“Grandma absolutely saying can’t eat.”

Now without pocket worry I can treat you well.

Can even ride plane and go eat delicious.

Why you saying will eat ramen or jjajangmyeon.

“Heard of lobster abalone ramen? How about three-line tray jjajang?”

What to do.

Can’t tell to give up baby taste.

Enough body nourishing matching that.

Yerin’s eyes sparkled.

“Delicious?”

“Yes.”

“Then I will eat that. Ah! This······.”

Yerin untied the small silk pouch hanging at the waist.

Something neatly wrapped in hanji came out.

“Hard gathered to give oppa!”

Okchundang.

The colorful candy offered on doljanchi table, 60th birthday table, traditional wedding table, ancestral rite table.

Round flat candy snack type made mixing rice flour and malt syrup with pigment.

Not a snack distance quite popular with kids because sweet taste plain.

“Can receive only one a day saying this rots. Hehehe.”

Okchundang five pieces.

Likes chocolate, likes cookies, likes bread and cake too.

A kid who can’t control limbs if snacks.

How endured and gathered this?

“Have to eat sparingly? Will gather and bring again next.”

I silently received the okchundang Yerin offered.

Because the favor offering to me.

Instead I also opened the coin wallet.

Took out the strawberry flavor candy occasionally gripped in father’s hand.

Peeled the skin and put only the candy into Yerin’s mouth, Yerin opened eyes large.

“De, delicious······!”

The kid who only ate plain okchundang met strawberry flavor candy.

A reaction as if greeting a new world.

I thoroughly searched the coin wallet and put all strawberry flavor candy into Yerin’s silk pouch.

“Eat to heart’s content.”

“One a day?”

“Even if this rots okay don’t eat sparingly. Baby teeth that will fall anyway, a bit rot how?”

Yerin opened eyes round and inhaled.

“Will buy next too.”

“Uwaaa······!”

No need to see tightly holding both hands and eyes sparkling so.

Even if I only search the coin wallet can buy neighborhood hole-in-the-wall snack distances from the very bottom of the display case to the top?

Ding dong!

The doorbell rang.

Stopping going into the house side by side with me Yerin abruptly stopped steps.

Yerin tightly held my hand without even looking back.

“Guest came······.”

“Said no person coming.”

“But came like this now. Door··· have to open?”

The guy happy as if possessed the whole world with one strawberry flavor candy until just now.

Somehow looked up at me with a face like a puppy needing to poop.

So asked.

“Don’t open?”

“No.”

Yerin heavily shook the head.

“Terrifying but a person who helps oppa tremendously tremendously······.”

“Then enough. Ignore.”

I held Yerin’s hand and walked stride stride toward the house.

But Yerin stopped steps again.

“Can’t pretend not knowing like this······.”

“Came without notice can do a bit doorstep rejection.”

“No.”

“Said no forbidden.”

“No··· heuung. Saying deeply entangled fate······.”

“Let’s go.”

Ding dong! Ding dong!

Ignored the doorbell sound and walked stride stride.

But Yerin shook the head.

“Open the door, oppa.”

“Why? Dislike?”

“Anyway an unavoidable fate······.”

Yerin slightly pulled out the held hand and pushed my back.

“Quickly. Because I’m curious.”

“······Who on earth?”

Went back and opened the main gate with a whoosh.

A man with graying hair and quite impressive knife scar torn straight from the right temple to the mouth corner.

“Smuggling king uncle?”

The extremely terrifying, but a person who will become very very big strength to me Yerin said the smuggling king?

As the smuggling king raised the mouth corner and smiled, the deeply dented knife scar distorted fiercely.

Immediately convinced why Yerin said terrifying person!

“The Young Master personally opening the main gate. This honor? Hahaha! Receive.”

The smuggling king immediately burdened what holding to me.

“What rice cake?”

“Moved to the house next door there.”

Moving rice cake.

“That’s Assemblyman Kim’s house? Until yesterday leaving work as usual?”

“Ah, if those house people sent out this dawn.”

The smuggling king pointed own chest with a thumb and laughed heartily.

“So we became the Young Master’s new next-door cousins.”

So the words forcibly chased out Assemblyman Kim and occupied the next house?

Not curious how chased out Assemblyman Kim by what means.

Because why occupied the next house more important.

“What scheme?”

“What scheme? Know my situation well. I go to the US soon.”

Because promised so with the central intelligence director.

Received the mission of tracking Kim Hyeong-won’s hidden assets, opening Taeseong’s US distribution network, saving detained Korea’s lobbyists.

“Have to leave the only blood relative in Korea feet have to fall. If anyway have to attach close to a reliable guardian to be relieved.”

The smuggling king laughed heartily.

“Jaeyeong, greet. The person becoming your guardian.”

A girl who tied the ponytail high behind the smuggling king poked the head out.

White skin and large black pupils.

A girl shaped sharply like a cat.

Thin eyebrows and high nose and red lips, the beauty mark under the eyes standing out.

If only grows like this will become a quite sharp and cold-looking beauty······.

‘Uh······?’

Could recognize at once.

The woman first met covered in blood in the Busan International Market back alley.

We had saved each other’s lives once each.
