180: Lay down and see (5)
“Is it cold?”
“It is tolerable.”
Cheol-woo, who had been waiting for so long, came up to the roof. In his hand, who spoke warmly saying that he was suffering, there was a bowl of jjamppong for delivery with hot soup.
“I’ll watch over you, so eat before it cools down.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Melting his frozen hands, Ilho opened the plastic lid. Then, warm steam rose in a lump and covered her face warmly.
Hurry! Fluffy! hey!
When I inhaled the noodles in the hot soup, there was no heaven. It was hard to believe that I could enjoy such luxury in front of a killer.
“There is also a small bottle of dongpo-yuk and kaoryangju in the bag. When it’s cold, it’s all about meat and alcohol. Huh!”
Impressed by Cheol-woo’s words, he groped the inside of the bag. Clear liquor and tender meat in a small bottle couldn’t be more pleasing.
While taking turns like that, the two enjoyed drinking and snacks. The short days of autumn have passed and night has arrived.
The wind from the mountains flew fiercely with the wind from the buildings. The temperature on the rooftop suddenly dropped, but they had no effect on them, who raised their body temperature from drunkenness.
Rumble!
The killer’s body trembled. The problem was that he, a Westerner among Asians, was only wearing a thin coat so as not to show off.
Again, trying to work in an unfamiliar place other than the battlefield, every little thing caught my ankle. There wasn’t much of a problem when ambush in a thick battle suit and a ghillie suit.
“Damn, you’re going to miss the sandbox. Catch it!”
Recalling the heat of the desert that had risen in his mind, he trembled finely. It was a pity to bring a bottle of vodka or whiskey.
He glanced all over again under the camouflage. The muzzle was still placed on the side and rear.
Again, they weren’t ordinary people. Putting your finger on the trigger and staring at one place for such a long time was something that normal stamina could never do.
It had to be equipped with a high degree of concentration and mental and physical strength. And those things were not easy to train.
The killer’s body, who had meticulously scanned all directions, stiffened. It was because he had found a new muzzle over the low wall of the roof, on which he had only relied.
“Damn it, things are getting messed up.”
Now he was aiming at himself from three sides. This meant that he was more likely to be caught or killed.
Fortunately, the enemies didn’t seem to have any intention of killing him yet. But in the end, if caught…
He groped the pistol that was placed on his waist with his hand. It was the killer’s fate that he would rather commit suicide than get caught.
“I’m bored. Shall we order our chicken?”
After eating, Cheol-woo said while looking at Il-ho, who changed his duties again. Surprised by those words, Ilho looked at Cheolwoo until he took his eyes off the scope.
This sounded like a request to deliver chickens while standing on the lookout at the front post. Of course, it would be great if it could be done, but it was difficult to imagine with common sense from the Republic of Korea Army.
“Why, this isn’t even an army? Ordering chicken in Seoul is not a big deal…”
“It is, but…. In this situation, how is it possible to deliver…”
“it’s okay! It’s all about eating and living. Would that guy over there try to order it if the situation permits? ah! That bastard can’t speak Korean. Giggles!”
Ilho was at a loss for words. The character Cheol-woo sometimes did things he couldn’t even imagine without hesitation.
He took care of things he would not have dared to do if he was himself, and even the results were neat and good. So she suddenly stopped seeing him as a human like herself.
Comparing myself to him, I felt like I would lose the will to live in the world. Therefore, he never compared him with Cheol-woo for his mental health.
But despite that determination, there were times when I was really blown away. He prided himself on living a rough life in the world behind him, but in front of Cheol-woo, he felt like an ordinary person.
“Half seasoning, half fried …, no. But should we each eat one? There’s a good tempura shop near here. It’s a regular shop that I often order from.”
Before even getting Ilho’s consent, Cheolwoo called. He was thinking of ordering the two girls too, but he skipped it because he thought he had ordered too much for lunch.
“hello. This is the OO building. Season with garlic and deliver one fried. Yes Yes! If you come to the parking lot and contact us, we will come down right away. Yes, drinks are Coke. Be sure to put two paper cups and two chicken radish. I will pay by card. Please come quickly. yes!”
After placing the order, Cheol-woo rubbed his hands and waited for delivery. In his retina, he could see the figure of a killer who had not yet moved.
“But, Chief. What’s the gun on the other side over there?”
“ah! It’s just a sniper rifle. I put a wireless trigger on the trigger.”
“Yeah, is there anything like that these days?”
“Yeah, I bought some while I was in America. Huh!”
“The world has become so much better.”
“Yeah, it will get better.”
“Are there any leftovers from that percussion machine?”
“That’s too bad.”
We chatted while waiting for the chicken. It was a really stress-free moment for a killer in front of me.
It was dawn. Pietro, who became green onion kimchi, woke up surprised by the sound of the trumpet.
Not long ago, I was drinking at a famous club in New York. But when I opened my eyes, I saw an unfamiliar ceiling.
“Oh, my God! Was it a dream? Damn it…!”
What I wished to be a reality was a dream, and what I wished to be a dream became a reality. I covered my face with a blanket to hide from the damn reality, but I had to come out because of the relentless influx of soldiers.
“Ugh, it’s cold!”
It was very chilly on the shady beach in autumn. Although the active clothes were thick, they could not block the cold air of the early morning of autumn.
“Run quickly. That way it will be less cold.”
The teaching assistants wiped the tteokbokki shivering in the cold. Then the tteokbokki took care of it and ran to the restaurant in the plastic house where there was a hot stew.
It was very warm inside the greenhouse with a wood stove burning in the center. There, the smell of delicious food and stew lingered on the tip of my nose, and my mouth was drooling.
Whoops, whoops!
“Huh! Damn it, why is this so delicious again?”
Pietro, who served the food little by little and evenly on the plate, chewed it tightly and lamented. It was a situation in which Cheol-woo could not abandon him and threw him into hell.
Even so, I felt a sense of self-confidence when I saw myself constantly changing my taste buds. The sashimi and seasoned meat that melted in his mouth kept making him happy and sad.
“Mano, when can I get out of here?”
“Well, it’s up to Cheol-woo hyung, so there’s no set time for that.”
While chewing and swallowing food hard, he kept asking Manho, who was sitting next to him. But his answer was the same.
Pietro could not understand the situation. He was about to tell Cheol-woo, who he thought was an ally, to drive out the Sicilian thugs trying to advance into New York together.
The mafia of New York, who were full, did not want to see blood unless their own income was infringed. The Sicilians who dug their loopholes were throwing sweet baits and tearing down Cosanostra’s clan little by little.
After the dead Zambito, Pietro was seated as the head of the clan, but his position was not yet solid. Time was on his side, but the rate of collapse of the clan did not wait for him to lay a foundation.
“no! They’re looking for the back of my head out of sight. I don’t have enough time to spend here.”
“I said that freedom is what strength creates. Pietro, you have to be a little stronger. Here and here…”
Manho said, pointing to his head and chest. Hearing his words, Pietro questioned.
“Who said that…?”
“Chul-woo hyung!”
“…God damn, you called me to do this in the first place…”
His head dropped helplessly. It became clear that I would not be able to leave this place for a while.
Beep Big!
Then a sharp whistle was heard.
“After dinner, we prepare for the mountain canter. practice!”
Everyone put the rest of the rice in their mouths and hurriedly got up from the table. Pietro and Manho did the same and hurriedly ran away.
Pietro, who was crying and looking for his cell phone after the first canter, was not here. He admitted early that his liberty was taken away along with his belongings.
The daytime temperature around the island was not that cold. However, after running, I was sweating all day.
After finishing the evening canter and PT, I was able to shower in hot water. I was scared that the place was a laundry room, but I was still grateful that I could sleep on the hot floor with a clean feeling.
Tteokbokki, who lived comfortably in the world, began to learn to be grateful for what was given. I was afraid of the club and the laundry room, so I started running without thinking, so I realized the happiness of a single soap or a gourmet of hot water.
“Isn’t it uncomfortable?”
“No, it’s okay.”
Dain looked at Linda in the same room and asked. She’s not very good at it, but she’s been teaching English since her trainee days, so her simple conversations were enough.
I tried to talk to the other person to shake off the awkwardness, but the awkwardness did not go away as I thought.
Rather, the silence after speaking made the atmosphere of the room more suffocating. Knowing how she felt, her Linda looked at her and tried her best to say her words.
“I heard about you.”
“When did you hear that?”
“Last night….”
“Sheesh, this kid. So there was no contact.”
I found out why the text messages that had continued every day became less frequent. Thinking about what Cheol-woo was doing at that time, his cold anger boils again.
As I thought, I wanted to show off my skills while holding Linda’s hair and shouting for her to break up. But after she looked up her information on the Internet, she couldn’t be rude.
“You really lost your father, here in Korea…?”
Most of the information floating around on the Internet was fake news that was hard to believe. During her celebrity activities, she also suffered a lot of damage from fake news or rumors like this. She said that she didn’t trust her very much about this.
It was also common for people who were still alive to be dead, or to pretend that their ordinary school days were idiots.
It was natural to deceive the age, and forgery of academic background or career was also common. So, I tried to check the facts as much as possible.
“… Mi, I’m sorry.”
“No, it’s okay. So don’t worry about it.”
Seeing her pitiful expression as she answered, I felt sorry for her. She was very sorry that she seemed to have touched the painful memories.
Not having a family to share with was like living with an empty heart. Knowing her emptiness, she couldn’t help but feel even more sorry.
However, because of that, he couldn’t give up on Cheolwoo. Her warm embrace and her family.
Knowing that he loves his family more than anyone else in the world, he wanted to stay within the fence of his family for the rest of his life. He wanted to grow old by treating Cheol-woo’s parents, who looked at and treated him without prejudice as a celebrity, as if they were his biological parents.
“I can never give up on you!”
“… Me, me too. I will never leave him until I die. sorry but···.”
Linda’s eyes didn’t waver despite Dain’s resolute words. But still, there was an expression of regret on her face.
“Shit! this bad guy A woman like that…”
In the end, it was like confirming the position that both of them could not back down. Because we could understand each other’s feelings, we had no choice but to swear by Cheol-woo inwardly.
“Yes, brother…. It’s completely under the sea right now. The air is so heavy that it is difficult to breathe. Whoa!”
Cheol-woo, who was protecting the two women in the living room, received a call. He had a louder voice than others, and he was also making a noise of ants crawling and was watching.
“I can’t. Now let’s finish it slowly.”
After a short conversation with the dwarf, Cheol-woo got up from the roof. He didn’t even think it would be resolved by taking more time.
