Episode 102. critical (2)
10 o’clock at night. Club ‘Big Wish’ in Cheongdam-dong.
One 4-story building was the entire club building. It was luxuriously built in a neighborhood where land is expensive, so it showed a majesty that no one could easily enter.
Kang-soo entered such a place calmly.
“Come on… please.”
The club madam, who was always arrogant, looked at Kang-su and said hello, but hesitated for a moment.
Kang-soo, who paused for a moment, spoke calmly.
“Is there a reservation here under the name of Tae-goo Jo?”
“… Oh, come over here.”
As if there was no need to check the reservation list, the madam directed Kang-soo to the room inside the club.
A large man with a dirty look stood in front of the door like a gatekeeper.
The madam who had passed him knocked on the door and opened it.
Around the round table inside, Jo Tae-goo, who had arrived earlier, and a stern-looking man were sitting facing each other.
“Uh— are you here? Sit there.”
When did you pretend to be friends just because you saw each other? At his consideration (?), Kang-soo sat down with a calm expression. And he said without even wondering about the man on the other side.
“If you have something to say, do it quickly.”
“It’s so hot-tempered.”
After saying that, Cho Tae-gu took a piece of sashimi that had been set in advance and poured a drink into a glass placed in front of Kang-soo.
“Does Choi Tae-hoon have bad videos or photos of Mr. Kim Joo-rang?”
“No, well—maybe, maybe not. You don’t know what people do. Especially if you are friendly with each other between lovers… I even take pictures of things that are a bit embarrassing. What could it be?”
Kang-soo stared at the vague answer and continued asking questions.
“So what do you want?”
“Will you listen to me?”
At Jo Tae-gu’s fishy smile, Kang-soo felt disgusted and worried about throwing his fist first.
I saw a lot of dirty impressions from battlefields and protocols, but among them, it seemed to be counted on my fingers.
“I’ll listen first.”
“It must be very difficult to listen to… Well, this must be an experience.”
Jo Tae-gu laughed and gave off a more unpleasant atmosphere than before.
Then he cleared his throat and began to speak.
“One day an article will appear. The title is the true girlfriend of a popular female idol member. Of course, the contents… It must be like a memory that I wanted to keep between lovers. It may be a little embarrassing to others, but… . Kuk-kuk-kuk.”
For a moment, Jo Tae-gu’s expression was very dirty. At the same time, Kang-soo was really about to let go of his fist, but he held it in.
I asked him in a calm voice about his crazy plan.
“We also confirmed that part. I heard they never filmed anything strange.”
“Ah— do you believe that? Ah, there are a few videos and photos taken by Choi Tae-hoon. You may not know.”
“so… Why do you want to tell that story to me, not Kim Joo-rang?”
Jo Tae-gu was pleased to see Kang-soo’s fist tremble slightly as it was placed on the desk. It was because I thought Kang Soo was acting as if nothing was wrong on the outside.
“Rather than wanting something, I want to give you a chance. Is this an opportunity to move to a better company?”
“… I have no intention of leaving.”
“If you listen to your thoughts, it will change.”
“Tell me.”
At Kang-soo’s answer, Jo Tae-gu swallowed the sashimi he was chewing and said.
“Anyway, an idol is over when one member starts to gossip. Besides, it’s not a normal thing, and if it’s a video or photo, it’s really terrible. Of course, it would have been obvious that the manager I worked with was fired.”
The words were long.
Cho Tae-gu, who quenched his thirst with a drink, continued.
“Keuuu—I don’t even give you enough advice to get out of a sinking ship like that, I even offer suggestions. Salary conditions are twice what they are now. How is it?”
“… I don’t think you’re willing to do that condition bare-mouthed.”
“Oh oh. Do you have good eyesight? If this is the case, it seems that my perspective is still quite useful.”
“… … .”
“Oh, I’m saving someone who might drown, so wouldn’t it be nice to bring something out of the boat as a courtesy?”
“… You are asking me to bring something from JIN Entertainment.”
There was too much rhetoric.
Still, to confirm Jo Tae-goo’s intentions, Kang-soo quietly waited after questioning as if emphasizing.
“what… Not a big deal. You know it’s Richard Taylor, right?”
“I know.”
“First of all, Richard Taylor’s contact information and how he was recruited by JIN Entertainment. Well— it would be better if I persuaded him and brought him to me… Because that seems difficult. pass-“
Famous producer Richard Taylor was also being pursued by other entertainment agencies.
Jo Tae-goo wasn’t sure if he was an executive, but he didn’t think he could convince Kang-su, who didn’t have much experience.
“therefore. Are you saying that if I bring you information about Richard Taylor and how you came to work with Jin Entertainment, you will double my salary?”
“Do you really need to tidy up? If you pretend, you pretend.”
It was a look of complete anticipation.
I was confident that I would receive the current offer 100%.
At this, Kang-soo asked indirectly.
“… What if I refuse?”
“You said it earlier. sinking together. I see you don’t know because you haven’t been a manager for a while. This bottom physiology doesn’t end there just because celebrities bought and hit it. die together, live together It makes sense. big—”
Cho Tae-gu, who ended his speech with alcohol, showed a fishy smile.
Then my eyes went to the man who hadn’t said a word since before.
The man is Kim Dae-jin, and he has been friends with Cho Tae-gu since high school.
When our eyes met, Kim Dae-jin stood up and moved to a seat right next to Kang-su. At the same time, a black and white tattoo of a dragon and a carp dancing together was drawn on the sleeve.
“I don’t know much about this, but it seems like a pretty good condition, so I don’t know why I’m thinking strange things. Why? You didn’t even eat snacks, but are you full?”
Kim Dae-jin pushed his face into Kang-soo, even putting him on the shoulder.
Kang-soo’s brow furrowed slightly due to his extremely dirty face.
It seemed like you could guess what the two of them had in common.
“I don’t call the ship very much, and I don’t think there’s anything more to share here. I will just get up.”
“Uh huh—”
When Kang-soo tried to stand up, Kim Dae-jin tried to sit down again by pressing down with force.
However, the precipitation happened unexpectedly.
“Excuse me.”
To be honest, the reason I asked to see you today was too cheesy.
It wasn’t even worth listening to anymore.
“Did this bastard decide to die?”
Kim Dae-jin, who looked at Kang-soo as he headed for the door in amazement, jumped up and punched him.
At that moment, Kangsu slightly bent his head to avoid it, then grabbed his wrists and elbows and swung them downwards while twisting them.
Hung- Kwadang!
Kim Dae-jin suddenly turned around with his gaze and fell down, breaking the table.
It happened all too quickly.
“Mistress— Dae Jin-ah!”
Of course, Jo Tae-gu, who thought Kang-soo would be right, couldn’t help but be surprised.
It was only when I saw Daejin Kim rolling over the table that I went over to check his condition.
Kim Dae-jin completely lost his mind.
“You, what are you!”
“I was going to hit him first, so I just defended him.”
“I think you’ll be fine with this!”
“If you can’t be safe, what else is there?”
drooling—
The man who had been standing in front of the door earlier came in.
It was only Han Dae, one of Kim Dae-jin’s subordinates.
He had been told to block people from entering due to the commotion inside.
However, I had no choice but to open the door because of Jo Tae-gu’s cry.
“What happened?”
Daejin Kim, who fell on the broken table, did not even move.
And the river that had just entered was standing in front of the entrance.
“That bastard made your brother like this!”
At Jo Tae-gu’s cry, Han Dae-man reached out to grab Kang-soo by the collar.
widely-
However, Han Dae-man’s wrist was caught in Kang-soo’s hand, which moved belatedly.
“What? Is this kid crazy Won’t you let go?”
The massive man was 10cm taller than Kangsu.
In response, he stretched out his other hand and tried to suppress the river.
But this time, as Kang-soo’s hand caught his wrist, it became like they were holding each other.
“Let’s try this, right?”
Han Dae-man, with all his strength, grabbed Kang-su by both shoulders and tried to push him down to the floor.
But he didn’t even budge. The strength of the precipitation transmitted through the wrist was as firm as holding it in a vise.
“This, this… … .”
In the meantime, Jo Tae-goo was convinced that only one could knock Kang-soo down.
It was because there was no one who couldn’t knock down only one subordinate when there was a fight with Kim Dae-jin from time to time.
At the time, the opponents I fought with were bullies, blacklisted men, and special fighters who said they would fight a little. In addition, there were also famous martial arts fighters who made a name for themselves.
However, Han Dae-man defeated them with a single blow with his natural strength and grit.
Since neither technology nor anything worked, the fight itself was not established properly. Jo Tae-goo had no doubt that it would be the case this time as well.
but… … .
“you… this bastard… … .”
I can see that only one is giving strength, but it didn’t budge.
Kang-su’s wrist trembled, let alone Kang-su’s shoulder, and he couldn’t go down at all.
At that moment, Han Dae-man stretched his knees upwards.
Kangsu quickly stepped back as he let go of his wrist.
“done! You bastard, you really die!”
Handaeman, who created the intended opportunity, rushed to overturn the river as it was.
puck-
At that moment, Kang-soo’s right mid-half kick flew in quickly and grazed only one man’s chin.
“… uh.”
Han Dae-man, who even smiled at the thought of knocking down Kang-soo soon, felt dizzy.
At the same time, the rushing staff twisted and staggered as if they were drunk before falling over to the place where Cho Tae-gu and Kim Tae-jin were.
“Oh, uh! Ahh-! hey! You bastard!”
Jo Tae-gu, who was expecting a lot, was attacked by a huge body of only one person.
Jo Tae-gu screamed after being crushed, but he did not hear the one that passed out.
Kang-soo, who looked at him calmly, walked toward the entrance.
“Excuse me.”
In front of the entrance, people were flocking to the staff because of the commotion.
As the river approached, everyone tried to make a path by diverging on both sides.
“you you! Do you think you can pass quietly by behaving like this?”
At that cry, Kang-soo stopped walking. I turned around again and approached Jo Tae-gu, who was crushed by Han Dae-man, and lowered his stance.
In front of Jo Tae-gu’s eyes, Kang-soo said quietly.
“Would you like to see if you can pass quietly or not?”
“You know I can’t?”
“Do whatever you want.”
Kangsu got up again and headed outside. After leaving the store completely, I took out my cell phone and called Simon, who was in charge of signing.

A few days later.
Cho Tae-gu visited Seoul Southern Prison with a face full of annoyance.
It was because the last time I had visited Choi Tae-hoon and had only suggested a plan, I hadn’t heard back.
Originally, I was just trying to scare the river, but I decided to do it for real.
It was because it was a good thing from Jo Tae-gu’s point of view if the competing idols collapsed anyway and the agency stumbled.
I applied for a visit to Choi Tae-hoon and waited.
Shortly thereafter, Choi Tae-hun entered the meeting room. We sat facing each other with the transparent tempered glass in between.
“How are you?”
“you… What the hell are you doing!”
“What are you talking about?”
When Jo Tae-goo made an expression that he really didn’t know anything, Choi Tae-hoon’s expression crumpled like a piece of paper.
