Episode 9. comrade
The waiting room was only Kang Soo and Yoo So Hyun.
Yoo So-hyun held up the script and quietly muttered the lines to be used in today’s filming.
Then Yoo So-hyun glanced at Kang-soo.
“Mo, the body… why is it like that?”
“···yes?”
“I have a lot of scars on my body…especially on my shoulders and back. It looked like a gunshot wound.”
Kangsu was a little surprised by such a question.
It is difficult to see guns outside of the military or shooting ranges.

Neither a man nor a woman. Even the actress recognized the gunshot wound.
“Do you recognize the gunshot wound?”
“I saw it through makeup or photos.”
“I got a little burned when I was little.”
“is it so?”
There were many scars here and there on Kangsu’s back.
It’s not a scar to be proud of, of course, but it’s also not a scar to hide. That’s why I didn’t care, but Yoo So-hyun reacted sensitively.
Soon after, Kim Bo-ran returned.
When filming resumed, Kang-soo took the place of bodyguard.

Next day.
Yoo So-hyun visited Jin Soo-hyuk’s representative office from the morning, not the shooting schedule.
“Sohyun, please sit over here.”
“Thank you.”
“By the way, what have you been doing since this early hour? You must have been very surprised by what happened yesterday. Are you all right now?”
“Thanks to Han Kang-soo, I’m fine. And I have a question.”
“What is it?”
Yoo So-hyun thought about it for a while before saying.
“Han Kang-soo. I was wondering if I could see your resume.”
“Is that Han Kang-soo? What is it for?”
“I have a little question. Will it be difficult?”
It was quite disrespectful.

Nevertheless, Jin Soo-hyeok pondered over it and made a decision and answered with difficulty.
“If there is something to worry about, it is a person whose identity is certain. I guarantee that.”
“I heard that you are a new manager… Is it enough for the representative to guarantee it?”
“I didn’t know, so I found out. There isn’t any particular problem. If you’re still curious, I can show you.”
“Sorry, but… I’ll check.”
Jin Soo-hyeok went to his desk and took out a file folder from a drawer and gave it to Yoo So-hyun.
Inside was Han Kang-soo’s resume.
“Is this all?”
In Han Kang-soo’s resume, there were only records from high school graduation to the time he was discharged from the noncommissioned officer’s army.
At the age of 31, such a history is bound to be strange.
“It’s everything. As for what I found out separately, he said that he lived in the mountains from two years ago until recently.”
“ah······.”
“Did you find something you wanted to check?”
“I’m glad there’s nothing special. Excuse me.”
Yoo So-hyun said that and left.
Jin Soo-hyeok, who was alone, felt that her behavior was strange.
It was five years ago that Jin Soo-hyeok brought Yoo So-hyun to JIN Entertainment.
At that time, Yoo So-hyun suffered a serious incident during overseas volunteer work, and took a break without renewing the contract with the previous agency.
Jin Soo-hyeok persuaded him with difficulty and brought it to him.
“You probably don’t even know each other… Are you interested in Kangsu?”
It could have been because it had saved his life.
Son and JIN Entertainment’s Top 3 actresses.
For some reason, Jin Soo-hyeok was a little worried.
.
.
.
Yoo So-hyun, who left the representative office, waited for the elevator.
ding-
When the elevator door opened, I got on.
On the way down, I stopped on the second floor and the door opened.
“ah······.”
River stood in front.
However, Kangsu’s attire was no different from yesterday.
“hello.”
“Oh, hello.”
We rode the elevator together and arrived at the underground parking lot.
“Did you not go home yesterday?”
“yes? I went in.”
“But the clothes…”
“Oh, I only have this. Can you smell it?”
Kang-soo got embarrassed and moved his head toward his shoulder and collar to smell it.
It didn’t seem to have the right smell.
“Oh, no.”
Yoo So-hyun ran to her car.
Bo-ran Kim was waiting there and opened the door.
“Sohyun, what’s wrong?”
“no! let’s get going I’m going to be late for the shoot.”
In the meantime, Kang-su unloaded the load ordered by the team leader, who was already in another vehicle.
Yoo So-hyun recalled the precipitation when the car stopped the hydrochloric acid.
The messy hair that was covering his eyes flew away, revealing familiar eyes.
It was a look I had seen before.
Memories that were vague for a moment became clear with the image of Kang-soo jumping over the set and the scar on his back.
‘I’m sure it looks like him…’
Yoo So-hyun went to Congo for volunteer work while taking a break as an actress for a while 7 years ago.
It was an activity to build a school and teach children English.
At that time, Congolese rebels invaded the area where Yoo So-hyun volunteered and took her hostage.
Fortunately, the Congolese government forces operated and the hostages were able to be rescued.
The person Yoo So-hyun saw was one of the soldiers who had been put into the rescue operation.
If you think about it now, the clothes of the Congolese government troops, who were black, were quite different.
It was strange that Asians were government soldiers in the first place.
“Boran sister.”
“huh? why?”
“Can a Korean be a soldier in a country like Congo?”
“Congo? Are you thinking about that time?”
Due to the trauma of the incident at the time, Yoo So-hyun took a break from outside activities for two years.
Kim Bo-ran was surprised by such a question.
“I’m curious. Is it possible?”
“soldier? hmm···. I didn’t go to the military, so I don’t know. Hyunseong, do you know?”
In the passenger seat was Park Hyeon-seong, who had been taken away by ambulance yesterday.
And an ambulance colleague, Jeong Dong-won, was following in another vehicle to prepare for an emergency from the back.
Park Hyeon-seong said after keeping quiet about yesterday.
“Big, big. It’s usually difficult. I don’t know if it’s a mercenary.”
“Are you a mercenary?”
“There is a company that dispatches mercenaries as well as dispatching bodyguards like our Blue Guard. It’s a war enterprise. In places where the government forces are weak, they seek mercenaries from such companies and fight them.”
“You know me?”
“While I was in the Special Forces, I was also dispatched overseas. Then I heard this and that and knew it.”
Yoo So-hyun nodded at the unexpected information.
Kim Bo-ran from the side also pouted and thought it was great.
“Then why did that happen yesterday?”
“Yesterday I was careless. If I hadn’t cowardly walked first…”
“Are you scolded a lot?”
“…”
Two of Blueguard’s bodyguards were knocked down by a single manager.
To be honest, rather than being hit, I was pushed against the wall and lost my mind.
It was embarrassing no matter what excuse I gave.
“Please stop spreading rumors.”
“It’s already done. We weren’t the only ones there.”
“Keuuu”
Today, Park Hyeon-seong decided to ride in the passenger seat with Jeong Dong-won and rock-paper-scissors. I had no choice but to board because I lost there.

.
.
Kang-soo moved the luggage that the team leader ordered and sat down again.
The office landscape was not much different from yesterday.
All seats were empty.
“Han Kang-soo, take out 5 copies of these documents and place them in the small meeting room.”
“All right.”
Weing – weing – weing –
The copier sound returned. I stamped the documents with a stapler and placed one copy at a time in the conference room.
“Is this a concert security arrangement meeting…”
I read what was written in the document. It seemed like they were discussing the arrangement of bodyguards in preparation for the concert of Athena, an idol group under JIN Entertainment.
“This seems to be for publicity rather than safety.”
At the time Kangsu was in Ejisto, he also protected famous celebrities.
Even then, there were often cases where the circulation was arranged in the same way as it is now.
“Well, you know what to do.”
Kang-soo muttered and was about to leave the meeting room.
rattle-
Someone from outside tried to come in. At that moment, Kangsu hurriedly pulled the person away from hitting the door.
“Ouch, you have good wits.”
“Excuse me.”
A middle-aged man in a neat suit smiled lightheartedly.
In response, Kangsu only slightly lowered his head and quietly returned to his seat.
After a while, CEO Jin Soo-hyeok, general manager Yoo Chae-yeon, and Athena’s managers Jang Cheol-soo and Dang Min-cheol entered.
As Kang-soo read in the documents, the concert security meeting was held.
The meeting did not take long.
Everyone came out of the conference room one by one, and Kang-soo, a middle-aged man he had met in front of the door, glanced at him.
Thinking deeply about something, the man approached Kangsu and cautiously spoke to him.
“Are you… a sergeant?”
At the familiar title, Kang-soo put down the paperwork he was organizing and looked at it.
“Captain Kim Cheol-ho?”
“Right? Sergeant Han Kang-soo!”
The man was Captain Kim Cheol-ho, whom Kang-su had known while in the army.
I thought it was going to be a long time since I ran into it for a while, but I recognized the river first.
People who had just come out of the meeting room were surprised by the sudden situation.
In response, Jin Soo-hyeok stepped forward and asked.
“Chief Cheol-ho Kim, do you know our manager Kang-soo Han?”
“A manager? Come to think of it···. Oh, I knew him in the military. But what do you think?”
Kim Cheol-ho’s expression is incomprehensible.
Yoo Chae-yeon interrupted because she thought a little more explanation was needed.
“He is a new manager at our company. But I guess you were close.”
“Of course we were friendly. This friend and I…”
Kim Chul-ho, who was about to say something, met Kang-soo’s eyes.
Kangsu’s eyes were sharp.
The reason I got to know Kim Chul-ho was because we served together in UBT, a special team, in secret.
“I served together. We were friendly then.”
“That’s right. If you don’t mind, let’s go to my office to talk about something else.”
“The CEO’s office? Ah… is it okay if I go up after talking with this friend for a while?”
“yes. I’ll wait.”
Kang-soo and Kim Cheol-ho entered the small meeting room.
As soon as the door closed, Kim Cheol-ho first drew the blinds of the small meeting room thicker.
“Why is a sergeant here?”
“Somehow it happened.”
“More than that, the manager? Why is someone with experience like you…”
From nob le mt l dot com
Not anywhere else, but from a classified special forces unit. If it was a similar system, I was able to work with enough preferential treatment.
“There is a reason. But when were you discharged? You were called the head of headquarters earlier.”
Kim Cheol-ho, who was a captain at the time, successfully completed his UBT service and was considered a promising player who would rise to the stars unconditionally.
However, Kang-su couldn’t understand that he was the head of Blue Guard.
“Something happened. But if you’re going to be a manager, why don’t you come to me instead. If it’s you, you can easily get the job of team leader. Of course, I can give you a generous salary.”
Kangsu showed better skills than anyone else in the UBT operation.
Of course, from Kim Chul-ho’s point of view, Kang-soo was a coveted talent.
“it’s okay. I have to do this now.”
“Why is a talented person like you! is there anything here? You, by any chance, have you entered some strange place?”
It meant an organization with a specific purpose.
In Kim Chul-ho’s opinion, Kang-soo was enough.
“Absolutely not. I am just a manager.”
“I can’t understand… Do you know your background here?”
The UBT was a classified special forces unit under the Department of Defense.
All unit members or operations cannot be confirmed except for the highest approver and direct personnel.
Of course, there are no records left, and unit members even write a ‘confidentiality oath’ when they are discharged.
“I do not know. I understand that you are unemployed here after being discharged from the medical service.”
“inoccupation? What did you do after you were discharged?”
“I cannot tell you that.”
After that, Kangsu worked as a special mercenary and a special bodyguard.
Their careers were also kept confidential through their affiliated organizations.
“What the hell have you been doing? Well, it wouldn’t be normal for you.”
“Captain, no. I would also like to ask the general manager.”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t help it. It’s your request, so I can’t refuse. Don’t worry.”
The conversation ended there.
We promised to talk over a drink next time.
