106 – Escape
What shall I do from now on?
I rolled my head as I hid in a narrow place that couldn’t be called an alley between buildings.
I ran away because I was afraid of what would happen if I went into the van that was in the parking lot earlier, or that I would be treated worse than an animal.
Now that I’ve done it, I feel like I’m choking on what to do next.
Wouldn’t the arms and legs at least have been intact if I had just left?
Now I felt the threat to my life that if I was caught, I could really have my arms and legs cut off.
It sounds obvious, but the Future Group did not have the ability to cut off a human arm or leg like a lizard and restore it as if nothing had happened.
What kind of person is the chairman of Mirae Group? He is the father of a woman who has killed people, stabbed a fork in people’s hands, and driven them to the brink of death, or her grandfather.
Of course, he must have a different way of thinking than us. It may sound obvious, but I didn’t want to experience it with my body.
What will happen if you get caught now? If you keep hiding and get caught, wouldn’t it be because of what you’ve done now – various grudges piled up and things get bigger and bigger?
Thinking of that made me scared.
The weather wasn’t that cold, but my arms and legs were shaking so I couldn’t even stand properly.
Now hahahaha- I was kidding. Shall we go back to the president?
…Should I get down on my knees in front of the future group’s security team and pray like that? Wrong.
I’m sorry. I did it because I was so scared.
…To pray for forgiveness, I felt like I had already crossed a river that I couldn’t cross.
When Caesar crossed the Rubicon – the die was cast.
Like I said that. It’s been a while since my die was cast.
No, no, I threw it wrong. Sorry. I didn’t think well. For not throwing the dice. Can’t we count it as nothing?
I’ve come too far to beg for an apology like that.
What will happen to me in the future?
Can’t settle down anywhere and live a life of wandering here and there like a stranger?
Assuming you are living as a stranger, where do you sleep right now? Also- My status is a soldier- How do I go back to the unit after the vacation period is over?
This is my intuition, but I didn’t think I should go back to the unit just because the vacation period was over.
I had an instinctive feeling that at the entrance to the base, the Mirae Group’s security team was already guarding the place.
Actually, it wasn’t an instinctive feeling, it was more like a common sense response.
I would have done the same.
….. Let’s get out of here.
I pulled my body out again through the gap where I had been forced into it.
Then… I went to a hat seller nearby and bought a hat with a brim.
“It’s 3,000 won.”
“Yes- here it is”

I put on my hat and started to leave the market.
Assuming that the Mirae Group security team is still here and will find out where I am, I quietly walked to the other side of the terminal with my head down.
…How do I get home? Yoojung Is this okay? What is the director doing? I’m hungry right now and I want to rest.
I felt like I would burst into tears if someone touched me.
…Going to the other side of the market, I saw a taxi stand.
Let’s think about it, it’s been less than 30 minutes since I ran away.
And the distance between the bus terminal and the nearest train station is about 30 minutes.
I don’t know how big the Mirae Group’s security team is, but I thought I’d focus on exploring around this market, where I’d be, and not search the train station a little far away from here.
Slowly, I looked left and right and made sure that the security guys I saw earlier were gone, and as soon as the light turned green, I started running across the crossing.
There were taxis gathered near the crosswalk- I took the one in front of them.
“Mister, please go to the train station”
– Boo-woong.
As the taxi departed, I looked out the window.
Fortunately, I didn’t feel like anyone was following me. There were intermediate and intermediate signals.
Nothing happened.
“I got 12,000 won”
“..Calculated here…”
I opened my wallet, but there was no cash. I only have a card.
A man looking at me with strange eyes.
I felt like I would get caught if I delayed here, so I paid the bill with my card. As soon as I got off the train, I ran straight to the ticket office…
Where should I go? Where should I go? There was no time to worry.
….The one who will hide me even if I’m being chased like this. Someone who will stand by my side no matter what. Director, and Yoojung.
The director… If I go to the nursery school now, the children there could be in danger, and the distance was too far. …Let’s go to the city where Yu-Jung is.
“Please give me a ticket to Cheonan”
“-Ktx, are you okay?”
“It doesn’t matter”
I paid the card, received the ticket, and finished the payment.
How much money is in my bank account right now?
Still, there must be enough money to buy a train ticket.
The timing was good, and they said that they could catch the train in 5 minutes, so they sprinted to the terminal and started running.
– Gah!
-What is that bastard? Hey, aren’t you standing there?
While running, I bumped into a passing partner and knocked him over. I didn’t have time to care about that.
Ignoring what was said behind me, I sprinted all the way to the terminal.
Slowly the train arrived, people got off, and I got on the train. The train doors closed and started to depart.
The train is leaving… And
Help – I could see people running to the train station.
The Mirae Group security team members who were in the bathroom with me.
Have you ever watched me outside the window? He wore his hat deeply.
-Mom, I’m hungry..!
-Tadaktadak
-Yaya- I got on the train now? Huh…! Okay see you tomorrow, okay?
I looked around. Fortunately, it seemed that no one had been dispatched from Mirae Group yet.
As the tension I had endured so far was relieved, I suddenly wanted to go to the bathroom.
I opened the door of the bathroom between the carriages and went inside.
I looked at myself in the mirror.
A jean jacket with all the water drained, and cargo pants with pockets on the side. Rubber-soled sneakers with all speckled colors and a hat with the logo of a famous baseball team.
The clothes looked like they were worn by a homeless person on the street.
And I don’t know where they got it, but the clothes were stained. My head was completely covered with sweat.
After turning on the sink and taking a light shower, I thought about what I should do next.
One move- and another move- I had to choose my next option carefully, just like the chess I learned in my military days.
…Unfortunately or fortunately, I often watched action and spy movies during my military days.
There, the main character is a retired secret agent, but the U.S. Government sends a chaser to pursue the main character, fearing that the dark side of the government will be exposed, and the main character runs away.
…How did the main character escape government surveillance and go into exile in another country?
In the movie, the main character is extremely good at fighting, knows how to hack, even opens a locked door of a car and turns on the engine without a key using wires or something like that, but I didn’t know how to do anything.
… And the main character there uses cash instead of credit cards.
Since I was being chased by the government in the play, I was tracked by using a card, so something like that happened.
…Come to think of it, I barely managed to get past you by a car.
Is this really a coincidence?
I opened the bathroom door slightly and watched the situation outside.
The baby was still whining that he was hungry, and he was doing something on his laptop. A very drunk man was talking to his friend.
The situation is not much different from before.
Should I go back to my seat? Or what?
-Gasp.
Someone grabbed the door and grabbed it. …Could it be the future group..? You said you came all the way here already?
“I’d like to check the ticket, can you show me?”
“.. Ticket..?”
A station attendant in a black uniform looked at me. …Did I ask for the ticket now?
…I saw the clothes I was wearing. The size didn’t fit, and the clothes she was wearing were all bizarre.
I looked at the station attendant for a moment. Did they think I was jaywalking?
If I hold out here, nothing will change and the situation will only get worse. So I open my wallet and show the ticket.
“Here it is…”
“…Oh.. Thank you! These days, there are so many people who don’t buy tickets and ride without permission..! Thank you for your cooperation!”
…At the moment, I was surprised to know that they were from Mirae Group.
After everything was over, I felt like I couldn’t even stand properly.
My legs are all loose, so I’ve been very nervous up until now, but the inside of the train cabin seemed so peaceful.
I returned to my seat.
I wanted to take a break.
As soon as I sat in the chair, I immediately felt something.
Feels like you have something in your pocket.
Come to think of it, did I make a big call earlier… And throw away my cell phone? I heard that when you watch a movie, you track your location with your phone.
Since Mirae Group has a telecommunications company and the technology to make cell phones- it must be equipped with the ability to track my cell phone just like in the movie.
For some reason, I kept taking my phone with me.
Even when I changed my clothes earlier, I followed my instinct and took care of my cell phone and wallet like a ghost.
…I need to throw it away. Here, you have to take special measures such as throwing your phone in the trash when you arrive at the next station without hesitation…
…I can’t.
Memories with Yoojung in the mobile phone gallery.
A photo taken at the lake park together, and a photo taken while eating delicious pasta. We went to the game room together and played, and again – the messenger records we had together. They are all stored here.
Should be thrown away. Should be thrown away I was thinking about it, but I just couldn’t let it go.
If I throw away all of this… It really… Feels like I’m giving up on everything.
Rather, I just hold my phone tightly in my hand. I couldn’t do anything…
And that moment.
-Ugh… Ugh…
The phone rang as Yoojung’s name appeared on the screen.
Should I get this or not? While I was thinking about it, a text came through Talk.
-Take it. If you don’t get I’ll break it down one by one
