35 – New Home (2)
“So, what are your future plans?”
When Kanghyuk asked, Jooyeon Kim kept her mouth shut.
Apparently, she had no plans. Well, she was the woman who thought that even if she touched the Black Dragon, she would not be followed. There was no such thing as a plan.
“phew… I can’t help it.”
“… Also, are you helping me?”
When Kanghyuk said it was impossible, Kim Jooyeon looked up at Kanghyuk with expectant eyes. However, Kang Hyuk had no intention of helping her. Because it was very annoying.
“What more can I help you with? Did you help enough in the first place? If I hadn’t been there, you would have been beaten to death.”
Kang Hyuk’s words were true.
If Kanghyuk had been a little late, she wouldn’t have been safe.
Because the members of the Black Dragon Society were really beating Kim Joo-yeon to death.
“That, but… .”
“What is the point? It’s okay, so what’s next is up to you. I will go.”
Kang Hyuk carried the two stunners on his shoulders.
At least these two were meant to be taken care of by him. If left here, Kim Joo-yeon might be beaten to death again.
“Now, wait a minute! I still have more to tell you! Please listen to me!”
“I don’t want to hear more.”
“If you go like this, what am I going to do? The Black Dragons will come looking for me again! You must protect me!”
At Kim Joo-yeon’s question, Kang-hyeok stopped walking. Then he turned his head and asked.
“In your eyes, do I look like a hero?”
“Oh, no.”
“okay. i am not a hero So don’t expect that.”
“ah….”
Kim Joo-yeon looked tearful.
In fact, like her heart, she wanted to hold onto his leg at least. But in the end she couldn’t. It was because he was too scared to make any contact.
“Still, this is fate, so I’ll give you at least one piece of advice.”
“Uh, any advice?”
“If you want to get something, think about the cost first.”
“… ?”
At his words, Kim Joo-yeon tilted her head. However, whether she did it or not, Kang Hyuk just moved on.
‘I have to get rid of these first.’
Kanghyuk twitched his nose, thinking that he had become a nuisance.
When I came out, it was already evening.
***
I was lying at home when I suddenly got a call from Gwangui.
-The body was cleaned.
“Thank you, old man.”
-One of the corpses was said to be Master Baekwol. He needs to be careful. You’ve got a lot of connections, so you might get some people to annoy you about this.
Gwang-eui gave him some advice, then hung up.
Kang Hyuk thought that it was really fortunate that he had a relationship with Gwangui.
Except for the fact that he was making a chimera, he had a personality that wasn’t too bad in the broad sense.
… Ding-ddong!
But that was just then. When the doorbell sounded suddenly, Kanghyuk frowned and opened the door. As expected, the visitor was Kim Joo-yeon from the next door.
“What?”
“uh? Come on, did you take off your mask?”
“Is anyone wearing a mask at home?”
“Yeah, it is. Oh, may I go inside?”
Kim Joo-yeon had a nervous expression.
Kang Hyuk gestured as if he couldn’t help it.
“Come in.”
“thank you.”
“If you came this far, you must have thought of the ‘price’, right?”
“… .”
At Kang-hyeok’s question, Kim Joo-yeon bit her lip. And after a while, she made a big decision and looked straight at Kanghyuk and said.
“yes! I thought of it!”
“Then tell me where.”
“Please protect me from the Black Dragon. Then in return… !”
After hesitating for a moment, she closed her eyes. Then she shouted as she lifted her top.
“I-I’ll give you me in return!”
Kim Joo-yeon felt her heart beat.
A few hours ago, the masked man had told her.
If you want to get something, think of the cost first… !
At this time, she took his words to mean ‘I can help you if the price is good enough’. So while he was away, she pondered. About what you can give him.
But no matter how much she thought about it, she had nothing to pay him for.
She was an orphan, a freelance hacker, and her money had recently been exhausted. What was there to pay her for? At most, there is only one body… !
So, in the end, she agreed to his protection in exchange for her own body. Kim Joo-yeon was not an adult, but she knew very well that men were fascinated by women’s bodies. So, the man in front of him would surely have no choice but to accept such an offer.
“Are you going to give it to me?”
“Yeah, yes! Please protect me from the Black Dragon! Then, in return, every night I serve… .”
right!
“… evil!”
Her words didn’t make it to the end. It was because Kanghyuk had fed her head with honey chestnuts.
“Why, why are you hitting me!”
“I hit you because I was dumbfounded. Hey, you seem to be seriously mistaken about something, but no man in the world lusts after that weak body.”
“Boo, poor! It’s too much!”
Kim Joo-yeon started to cry. However, Kang Hyuk was not the kind of weak man who gets weak when a woman cries. He waved his hand as if he was annoyed.
“Just go. I was looking forward to it, but as expected, I had nothing. After all, it would be better to get out of this business.”
Kang Hyuk was thinking that he had done his job enough by saving Kim Joo-yeon. What happened after that was of no concern to him. He had no intention of doing anything extra for her for nothing in return.
“Please, please. Please don’t do that and help me. If we keep going like this, the Black Dragons will come into our house again.”
“You can take refuge somewhere else.”
“I have nowhere else to go.”
“Why is there nowhere else to go? Do you have no money? Then go to Seoul Station. There is a homeless shelter there. stay there.”
“… .”
At Kang Hyuk’s words, Kim Joo Yeon put on a dumbfounded expression. Eventually, she started to shed tears like chicken droppings.
“Black… You really do too much.”
“From my point of view, you are really too much. How can you be so shameless?”
“Okay, are you brazen?”
“Your actions now are like asking me to give you a bag after you saved a drowning man. I just wanted you to prevent me from being beaten to death, how far do you want it? Did I look like such a nice person?”
When Kang Hyuk suddenly spoke cold words, Kim Joo-yeon shook her shoulders.
rattling… !
Kim Joo-yeon’s body trembled.
She was convinced once again. The fact that this man is a very scary person, and that he is not a person who can be appealed to.
‘If you keep getting soggy like this, I think you’ll do something to me… !’
Kim Joo-yeon’s complexion darkened.
However, she couldn’t back down like this.
He is such a terrible person, but she had no one to turn to for help except this man. That could be the reason why she kept clinging to him. For her, the man in front of her was the only rope.
“Ugh… I’m sorry. I know I’m too shameless. but… .”
“Bitter, stop with the dirty words. If you want something from me, do you want me to pay that much? For now, I have no intention of accepting your body, so stop talking about it!”
When Kang Hyuk coldly shouted, Kim Joo Yeon pursed her lips.
What do you mean my body is like that! Still, isn’t this a body worth looking at?
“Hey… I bet you didn’t think it was okay just to be yourself, right?”
“Oh, I didn’t!”
“okay. It shouldn’t have been. If you go too far, you’re not a human being, you’re a monster.”
“… .”
“So, at what price? Think carefully. Even if you have nothing, there will be something to give.”
At his words, Kim Joo-yeon fell into deep trouble once again. What you can give… ? First of all, it wasn’t money or riches. Then what’s left… ?
“… I-I am a hacker!”
Suddenly, realizing something, Kim Joo-yeon shouted loudly. Then, she started listing the things she could do.
Whether you can connect to a specific organization’s server and steal useful information, or you can follow the hacker’s trail and trace him back… !
“… My, if you lend me your strength, I will lend you mine too!”
After a while, Kim Joo-yeon finished all her appeals and shouted in a desperate voice.
Kanghyuk was silent for a while, then burst out laughing.
“You finally come up with something useful.”
Kang Hyuk thought that he would finally be able to have a conversation worthy of a conversation.
