Rep. Lee Yoo-san tidied up her clothes in the waiting room at the DBS News Desk. In order to emphasize a friendly image, he changed his hair to a youthful style and paid attention to his clothes.
Recently, a young stylist was hired to transform the image.
‘Today’s interview should go with a youthful sense.’
It was more important to bring in fish from other people’s fishing grounds rather than fish already caught. He had to take off his current image of appealing to the middle-aged and put on the image of a great politician who works with young people.
He looked in the mirror and opened his mouth.
“For Korea’s bright future, protecting ours is the most important thing.”
When he finished speaking, he lifted his lips moderately and smiled. A refreshing smile that was not burdensome was completed.
‘good. You look great today.’
He checked his tone again. In order to change the usual old man’s way of speaking, I even hired a speech teacher to correct it.
“Rep. Yusan Lee. I’ll start filming in 5 minutes.”
The clear voice of the staff hit his ears.
“Yes. I’m going to guess.”
I happily checked my clothes and checked my voice for the last time, when the phone suddenly started ringing.
‘Who the hell are you at this critical time?’
Lee Yu-san, who checked the number with the intention of not answering, opened her eyes wide. He hurriedly answered the phone.
“Did you succeed?”
{yes. succeeded.}
It was a call from his subordinates sent to rob Dokgojin’s Swiss safe.
“Yes. Good job.”
He obtained the original copy that caught the weakness of himself and the alliance members. Now you can attack Dokgojin. I couldn’t control the corners of my mouth going up.
“Are you coming back now?”
{yes. Do you want to destroy the file?}
“No. Bring it.”
It was necessary to dispose of the files containing his own weaknesses, but if he held onto the other members’ weaknesses, it would be useful someday.
It was good to immediately take out information related to himself, but he did not want his subordinates to know the contents.
{What about bands?}
“He did a great job for the country, but it’s a pity.”
The subordinate understood the meaning of Mt. Yu. It could be evidence, so it was better to make sure it was handled so that it could not be identified.
“You did a good job too. I’ll give you a decent reward.”
Yusan Lee hung up the phone. I wanted to hear the story longer, but soon it was broadcast time.
I saw myself crying in the mirror.
‘I can’t do this.’
He relaxed the muscles in his face with both hands. He softened his expression thinking about the voters who would be his vote.
“Good job.”
Today’s interview seemed to go well.

I went on a date with Elisa after a long time. She didn’t ask me deeply and tried to understand from my point of view.
Maybe that’s why, despite her gorgeous and gorgeous appearance, I felt at ease when I was with her.
‘I think they look at me properly.’
Elisha was a really nice woman. There are not many people who can unconditionally love a dolsing man with children.
Looking at her sleeping face with a comfortable expression, I took my cell phone and came out to the terrace.
Numerous lights were embroidering the New York night. Suddenly, I thought of Seoul.
‘Where will I live if I marry Elisa?’
I am Korean and I liked Korea. It was illegal to own a gun, so the security was safe, and there was no risk of racial discrimination. I didn’t care if I was racist, but I didn’t want my only daughter, Ha-yeon, to be racist.
‘My parents would be frustrated too.’
I couldn’t ask my aging parents to study English. Although they had a translator and bodyguard attached to them, it must have felt different from traveling alone.
When you go on a trip, don’t you feel tired even though you’ve been playing hard?
‘Elisa is a native of New York.’
I didn’t have the face to ask her to come to Korea with me. New York was an unknown land to me, but now I had quite a lot of friends, so I didn’t feel uncomfortable living there.
Ha-yeon doesn’t have any friends yet, but if she goes to school, she should be able to make many friends her age.
When I thought about the future, my mind became complicated.
‘Let’s think about getting married later.’
I can’t make a decision on my own, so what can I do after worrying about it? Elisa and Ha-yeon’s thoughts were more important.
‘I think Elisa will tell me to do whatever I want.’
Considering her usual personality, it was quite possible. The midwinter night air was not something that could be blocked for long with just a gown.
I dragged my cold body back into the room.
“(Mmm.)”
Elisa tossed and turned. Her appearance in the moonlight was very beautiful.
“(Jaegu. What are you doing there?)”
She said without even opening her eyes properly. There was a hint of tiredness in his voice.
“(I was watching Elisa-san.)”
“(Ah. I used toilet paper, but why are you embarrassed?)”
Elisa pulled the blanket over her face. It was cute too.
“(Don’t do that, hurry up and go to bed. You’re busy tomorrow too.)”
She patted the seat next to her with her hand.
“(yes.)”
I’m not busy, but it’s not polite to refuse.
Coming under the blanket, I felt the warm warmth she had warmed me.

A party invitation came from Brayden Harper.
He said it was a place to invite friends to celebrate his birthday.
The envelope he sent contained two invitations.
‘Are you asking me to come with Elisa?’
Brayden Harper, who likes Della Foster, seemed to single out me as a love rival. Della Foster called me muse, but that’s an inspiration, not a love.
On the back of the invitation was a letter written.
[(A beautiful lover is welcome to come too.)]
‘It’s not a good thing, it’s a story to come together.’
It was obvious jealousy, but this timid jealousy wasn’t bad. Deep down, I was rooting for Della Foster and Brayden Harper.
‘I don’t know if he confessed while on a trip.’
I remembered giving Della Foster a ticket to go alone, which I had won in a bingo game during my trip to Bali.
I laughed at how a passionate man when talking about business, but unexpectedly timid when it comes to dating.
‘The opponent is Della Foster, so it’s worth being nervous.’
Because she was a superstar with millions of fans all over the world. I was currently attending a world tour concert.
Checking Della Foster’s schedule, the date for Brayden Harper’s party wasn’t there. It seemed that the date was vacated for a party.
‘What should I buy for my birthday present?’
I’ll have to ask New York party girl Elisa about this.
***
{(Oh no, don’t call me a New York party girl. Now I’m old and I’m embarrassed.)}
I wanted to talk to him face-to-face, but Elisa called because she was busy with work. The date of the party was scheduled for tomorrow, so I had to pick up a gift in a hurry.
“(Does it look good on you?)”
{(If you keep doing that, Jaegu will also call you Boi.)}
“(At my age, that’s a bit… But, Elisa-san is still in her 20s.)”
{(Jaegu also looks like he’s in his 20s, right?)}
I heard that Asians look younger in the eyes of Westerners, but that must have been true. Still, it felt good to hear that I was in my 20s when I was in my mid-30s.
“(I’m in a good mood, should I buy you dinner?)”
I can have lunch with my family and dinner with Eli love. We searched for a list of restaurants and continued the call.
{(Okay. Shall we go see Brayden Harper’s presents in the evening? I can’t go bare-handed, either.)}
“(Then, I’ll pick you up after work, Elisa. What time does it end today?)”
{(I’ll pick you up at 6:00. I think it would be nice to stop by the department store first and then go eat.)}
“(Can we make a reservation for dinner at 7?)”
{(7:30 would be nice to choose a present)}
“(all right.)”
Going to pick out a gift for a friend with your lover.
I felt strange.
‘Since this is also a date, I should wear nice clothes, right?’
I opened the closet with a happy heart. Inside, there were only old clothes and suits that had been worn since long ago.
After earning money, I only bought suits.
It was a great development that it was not a one-piece suit.
‘Mmm. I need to buy some clothes for myself.’
He had left the clothes Elisa had bought for him in Korea, so he had no clothes to wear as everyday clothes.
‘I should ask Elisa for a recommendation.’
I could already imagine being together wearing the clothes she had chosen for me.
I have to make it without it
The night in New York was the day in Korea. When I had trouble sleeping in New York, I would flip through Korean TV programs. The story of the world was contained in the news, so I tended to watch the news mainly through replays.
Yusan was listed on the DBS news desk.
‘What’s going on with that man?’
I’ve been in contact with you recently, so I’m interested. When I go back to Korea, he was someone I should meet at least once in some way.
[Today, we have 4th National Assembly member Lee Yu-san. Nice to meet you, Senator.]
[thank you for the invitation. This is Yusan.]
He gave a nice-looking smile.
‘A pretentious bastard.’
Knowing his true identity, I knew that smile was fake. On the surface, he was concerned about the future of Korea and said that he had to protect the Korean market for future generations, but in reality, he was trash filling his back pocket in collusion with chaebol.
[We need flexibility in the labor market to give young people lots of jobs. I will do my best so that our young people, the future of the Republic of Korea, do not have to worry about employment.]
The words were good. However, if you look closely at the employment flexibilization bill he came up with, there were many provisions that made it easy for companies to abandon individuals.
It was true that people should be treated appropriately for their abilities, but that was not a justification for using and discarding people like consumables.
‘The United States pretends to hate it so much and says that we should follow developed countries in this kind of thing.’
[The competitiveness of the US market comes from being able to fully demonstrate one’s abilities. Korea is like the US. No, we must treat our youth more fairly than in the United States so that our youth can receive a fair price for their labor.]
Trying to spin round and round.
Yoo-san’s employment flexibility policy was for layoffs. Just like the United States, it was just a bill that could be fired tomorrow and wrapped it up.
‘Lee Yusan’s policy is too radical.’
There was a line in everything. His policy included items that crossed the line, but he avoided attacks by lumping them together in vague terms.
But once the bill was introduced, it was clear whose side the law would be on.
‘It is an illusion that the law is on the side of the powerless. An uncertain law becomes a weapon of the powerful.’
If you put it on your ears, it was an earring. If you put it on your nose, it was a nose ring.
Lee Yoo-san’s interview ended in a friendly atmosphere. The anchors praised him to the fullest, and he emphasized youth and appealed for novelty.
It was a terrible interview.
After watching the interview to the end, I felt tired. I wanted to find out what he wanted from me, but he said he didn’t even know.
Dokgo-jin was pushed out of the main line, so in a way, it was a natural result.
‘Should I contact Sung Yo-han soon?’
He said that he would come to our side if he could hold hands with Seol Kyung-taek. And I successfully joined hands with Seol Kyung-taek.
‘Everyone knows that Lee Yoo-san and Seol Kyung-taek are in conflict.’
Then, even if the two meet, nothing will happen.
But before that, there was something to check.
‘I should meet Sung Yo-han first.’
I couldn’t introduce him to Seol Kyung-taek before using the eyes of trust.
After Brayden Harper’s party, I had a reason to go back to Korea.
***
As the president of a fashion company, Elisa’s sense of choosing clothes was amazing. she asked with a smile.
“(Did you not like the clothes I gave you as a gift the other day?)”
“(I like it, so I’m keeping it in Korea to wear sparingly.)”
“(You don’t have to save it. If it wears out, I’ll give you a new one. I want my man to always look cool.)”
She tidied up her shirt collar and made eye contact. I almost succumbed to the subtle temptation, but this was a department store clothing store.
“(You almost skipped over it.)”
“(Ah. It’s a waste.)”
Elisa smiled.
I put on the clothes she chose and stood in front of the mirror. Even though the pants weren’t tight, they fit nicely and made my legs look longer.
“(I like it. As expected, Elisa-san has a good sense.)”
“(It’s because Jaegu likes coat hangers.)”
“(No, it’s because Elisa-san has good sense.)”
“(No. Mr. Jaegu…)”
Elisha stopped speaking until that point. As I waited for the words to continue, she smiled and kissed me lightly on the cheek.
“(Then shall we do both better?)”
“(great.)”
If you use a group here, it just looks like a child.
“(Which gift should I choose?)”
“(It’s nice to have something you’ll like when you get it. What kind of person is Brayden Harper?)”
“(He’s a simple person.)”
