Episode 136. Club LETHE (1)
The car was parked in front of the house of Seohwa Group’s Seo family.
Seo Myung-won got out of the car.
“Please go in.”
“… … .”
Despite the driver’s greeting, Seo Myeong-won entered the house without answering anything.
clap—
When he opened the door and entered the house, his wife, Lee Mi-jin, was waiting in the living room.
“Honey, let’s talk for a minute.”
“… … .”
It was the same this time too.
Seo Myeong-won, feeling frustrated, took off his tie and went into the study instead of the room.
Lee Mi-jin also entered and closed the door.
“Honey, do you know what’s strange these days? No matter what I say, you don’t even answer, why are you doing that?”
“… let me out.”
“yes?”
“Just ask me to get out!”
A loud cry echoed through the room.
It was the first time I screamed like I do now since I was married, as well as when I was dating.
Izumi couldn’t help but be surprised.
“Hey, honey… … .”
Seeing her surprised appearance, Seo Myeong-won assumed that he had made a mistake and sighed.
“Whoa— I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It’s because of circumstances right now, so just leave it alone.”
Seo Myung-won pushed Lee Mi-jin on the back and sent her out the door and closed it.
thump—click!
After locking the door, Seo Myeong-won brushed his hair once and approached the desk.
There was a locked drawer at the bottom right. After unlocking the lock with the key he took out of his bag, he opened it and took out a machine the size of his palm.
It was a device that detects wiretaps and cameras.
I checked every day. However, it was impossible to call a person every time, so he even purchased the machine himself.
“please… … .”
Seo Myung-won, who started the detection, stopped the sound and focused his eyes on the device’s turned off LED light.
While the detector was being moved to the desk, bookshelf, shelf, etc., the LED started to flash as it passed the frame.
At the same time, Seo Myeong-won’s face became contemplative.
I immediately ran my hand around the frame. And in the right corner, I found a fingernail-sized wiretap.
dismissal—
“How long are you going to do this—!”
In the end, Seo Myeong-won, who exploded, threw the wiretap on the floor and stepped on it.
It was discovered after not coming out for about a week.
Seo Myeong-won got neurosis from such wiretaps and cameras. Even when I lay down to sleep, I felt as if I was watching myself from somewhere and stealing my words.

Nerves had to be sharpened because of it.
“sh*t-!”
Soon Seo Seon-won threw the detector into the corner and left the room.
bang-
He left the house and got into his car and found a cell phone inside the glove box and took it out. After going through the call list, I found a number and dialed it.
Loud club music played as the call connected.
[oh-! What is Director Seo who is diligently protecting family peace?]
“Shut up, where are you now?”
[me? Always in Lethe.]
“Then can you prepare for dumb b*tches?”
Dumb was a term used to refer to women who would never speak out no matter what.
The man on the other side of the receiver understood it right away and asked something back.
[huh? how many?]
“About two more than grade A. I’ll be there in 30 minutes.”
[Ok~!]
Seo Seo-won finished the call and stepped on the accelerator.
.
.
.
There was a large club with a signboard reading [LETHE] near Sapyeong Station in Gangnam.
It was a place where the sound of loud music shook the entire building 365 days a year.
ding—
The elevator door to the secret underground floor of Club Lete opened. Inside, Seo Myeong-won frowned and got off.
Accordingly, Ahn Hee-won, the owner of the club, greeted Seo Seo-won with open arms.
“oh! Brother! Hasn’t it been too long?”
“I said it was noisy. Where are the kids?”
“I prepared two in a private room. With complete muteness.”
Hearing that, Seo Myung-won took off his tie completely and walked down the aisle.
Ahn Hee-won, who saw this, clicked his tongue.
“Tsk—”
Beside Ahn Hee-won, Go Bong-soo, the manager of Club Lete’s secret floor, approached.
“Isn’t that person Seohwa Group Seomyeong-won?”
“Right.”
“Isn’t he famous for his love for his family?”
“Love is bullsh*t. I see you came in after he hung up here and he doesn’t know. That bastard here invested in college and made it?”
“Really?”
Go Bong-soo made a completely surprised expression.
At this, Ahn Hee-won licked his lips with his tongue and laughed.
“Are you lying? Eh, looking at your expression, it looks like your old temper has come back up again. I’ll be glad if I don’t pay for the portrait.”
“… … .”
Ko Bong-soo, unable to believe Ahn Hee-won’s words, stared at the hallway where Seo Myung-won disappeared as he walked away.
Ahn Hee-won, who shook his head in the meantime, went back to his office and sat down.
Maybe two hours passed.
The door to Ko Bong-soo’s office, which had been quiet, opened.
Bump— bang!
“Whoa—”
was a signature. I came into his office in a mess as if I had done an act and sat down on the sofa.
“It’s been a while since you came here, but you’re not staying out all night because of a loving family? He is really crazy.”
“shut up.”
It was a high-pitched voice.
Ahn Hee-won couldn’t help but shake his head.
“You are the crystallization of a true psychopath. I even want to send it to a research lab to make it into a thesis.”
“shut up… … .”
“Women? Are you alive?”
“If you’re curious… Did you check it?”
“f*cking, psycho cubs.”
Ahn Hee-won winked at Ko Bong-soo, who was sitting on the other side.

No matter how close a friend was, it was because the business fund was important.
“Give me a cigarette.”
“Old.”
Seo Myeong-won, who had been lying on the sofa, took a cigarette from him, put it in his mouth, and lit it.
“Whoa— I’m going to die.”
“Is it fun to live like that? If this is the case, why did you even get married and have a baby?”
“Did I give birth to you? And it’s fun. A kid who believes in everything he says… But these days, even that is not easy.”
The look on Seohyun’s face was full of annoyance.
It was because he was living as if his limbs had been cut off after losing Mine Book and Kang Ji-hoo, who was his closest aide.
In addition, cameras and wiretaps that you don’t know who is installing them… … .
“Really stupid, stupid.”
“Can you get some guys who are faster and have better skills? They are a bit heavy-mouthed.”
“skill? kids? why? You didn’t even pay attention to the guys I use who do messy things.”
“Are you sarcastic?”
It was to find out who was installing the wiretaps and cameras.
I set up the camera first and waited.
However, only a screen full of noise remained. It was clear that something had been tampered with.
“How many do you need?”
“About four or five? Disguise yourself as a robber and rob our house, and follow the mother and threaten her.”
“… what? What kind of crazy is that?”
“It’s okay to cross the line in moderation. You just have to do it right. I’ll give you a generous price.”
It was a way to pursue the criminal who openly installed wiretaps and cameras.
If there is a threat to the family, it becomes an excuse to superficially strengthen the security, and after that, the camera and the wiretapping device are deliberately discovered so that the work can be raised.
If done well, it was possible to put all other things on the unknown.
Of course, Ahn Hee-won did not know why. That’s why I made an expression of looking at a real madman even though he was a friend.
“If things go wrong, I can’t take responsibility. So are the kids.”
“Don’t worry about that, just make it really threatening.”
“under-“
Seo Seo-won’s expression was more serious than ever.
Then, Seo Myung-won poured the whiskey in front of him into the glass and drank it down.
Something was wrong on the TV in the office. It was like a drama.
“Did you watch a drama or something?”
“Don’t you know that? It’s ＜My Neighbor Diablo＞. It’s a huge hit these days.”
“… … .”
Seo Myeong-won, who was watching the TV, smiled at the woman.
“He’s fine.”
“huh? who?”
“There’s a girl with her hair on both sides.”
“Ah— he’s hot these days.”
Seo Myeong-won continued to look at the woman with wide-eyed eyes.
“Can you make me dumb?”
“Jane? I think it might be a bit dangerous.”
“You are special.”
“You bastard, you came back after a long time, and you came back completely crazy.”
It was as if the things that had piled up had exploded.
Seo Seo-won flicked his tongue while looking at the screen like that.
It was a face full of malice, completely removed from the mask it had made for external use.

[PD Choi Yoon-ho of ‘Take My Camera’, who created MBS’s signature variety show, resigns!!! Join hands with a love call from Tuun, a new content channel! 1 billion annual salary?]
[Who is crying and laughing at PD Choi Yun-ho’s resignation? MBS president angry?]
[What is the first entertainment you will create in Tuun? Who is Choi Yoon-ho PD’s choice?]
After work, Kangsu went to Apgujeong-dong and entered a pub with rooms.
I was able to find the room because I had made an appointment in advance. When I opened the door, Yunho Choi, who had been sitting inside first, jumped up.
“Are you here! Manager Han Kang-soo.”
“Long time no see. PD Choi Yoon-ho.”
It was a really long time since I saw it.
It was the first time since Yoo So-hyun appeared in [Take My Camera], so several months had passed.
“It seems like you’ve become more handsome in the past.”
“Honestly, I don’t know. It seems that PD Choi’s divine power has become clearer than mine. I saw the article.”
“ah… Oh, it’s not like the annual salary is 1 billion or so, as the article said. Don’t you like it when the media exaggerates?”
Seeing Choi Yunho waving his hand, Kangsu smiled slightly and was able to sit across from him.
“Even if it’s not up to 1 billion won, didn’t you receive a good amount of down payment?”
“what… When I was first offered it, I was a bit surprised. Isn’t it Tuun, which is opened by OPLE, not anywhere else? I was tired at MBS anyway, so I thought now was the right time.”
Originally, in the past, PD Choi Yoon-ho did not move to Tuun. At MBS, I had lived a life of disillusionment with Ha Seung-jo and Director Kim Hwang-joo, speeding up the pace.
Choi Yun-ho’s life, which was supposed to be like that, began to change drastically after meeting Kang-soo again.
“Good idea. Even if you are a newcomer, you will be able to succeed with PD Choi Yoon-ho’s skills.”
“Ha ha ha— that would be perfect. Honestly, if it wasn’t for what manager Han Kang-soo said to me in the past, I would have been taken away by that person Ha Seung-jo or Director Kim. Ah, I’m really grateful to Yoo So-hyun and JIN Entertainment.”
As Choi Yun-ho said, Yoo So-hyun’s appearance in [Take My Camera] was able to attract more attention from the beginning.
Hearing Choi Yun-ho’s words, Kang-soo felt something proud.
“Rather than that, why did you ask me to see you? If it was because of the cast of a new variety show, you could have contacted JIN Entertainment directly. By the way, I’m still the youngest, so I don’t have authority.”
“Ah— absolutely not like that. It’s not even a request. I was just grateful and wanted to buy a drink. I chose this place because he said he doesn’t like expensive places.”
It was a room-style pub with an ambiguous set menu.
In the past, Kang-soo had been called to expensive places for various reasons, so now he wanted to eat comfortably.
“Then I’m glad.”
“and… There is something I wanted to ask about the new variety show.”
“Am I a fortune teller?”
At that moment, PD Choi Yoon-ho’s voice rang in Kang-soo’s head.
