“Oh my, this is my first time visiting the club VIP room. It’s really nice.”
As the woman spoke with a surprised expression, I looked inside the room.
There was a large sofa and a round table in the centre. Next to it was a standing bar and in the corner was a large bed and a small spa.
It was hard to tell if this was a hotel room or inside a club.
The woman asked, holding up a bottle of wine on the table with roses.
“But don’t the other two need to come in? The atmosphere was good with the kids who came with me.”
After carefully examining the ceiling of the room, I saw that there was no CCTV and smiled.
“They’re bodyguards and won’t let me play with a woman? Of course, they have to wait patiently at the door.”
“Oh no. Poor thing.”
Even if there was no CCTV on the ceiling, there would be surveillance cameras hidden all over the room. Still, it was fortunate that there seemed to be no ordinary people around the VIP room except for officials.
I was debating whether or not to catch the woman right now, but I decided to keep an eye on the situation.
The goal this time was to get alcohol-containing drugs in the end. There was no need to rush to do it.
As I gathered my thoughts and sat on the sofa, the woman, who came naturally next to me, poured red wine into a wine glass.
“By the way… when are you going to tell me your name?”
“If you say it first.”
“It’s an expensive name. Fine. I’m Lee Soo-jin (이수진).”
It was an alias anyway, so the name didn’t really matter. However, in order to obtain information, a process of exchanging each other was necessary.
“Kwon Se-hyun.”
“Is that your Korean name? I thought you were a foreigner.”
“A lot of people get it wrong.”
“Kwon-ssi… There aren’t many people surname Kwon who have a high rating as you. Are you from Sanjeong C&T? If not… Daewoo Enterprises?” (혹시 산정 물산 쪽이에요?)
Lee Soo-jin’s words were so funny that they made me smile.
“You are very interested in me.”
“I’m sorry. What can I do if I’m curious?”
“I don’t care. I have some questions.”
“To me?”
Lee Soo-jin, who gave me a glass of wine, was too close to my body. It didn’t matter because I picked the champagne earlier, but this time the wine didn’t go through the hands of the other person, I just shook the glass gently.
“Actually, I came here because I wanted something.”
“What is it that our young master wants from me to come all the way here?”
I frowned slightly at Lee Soo-jin’s innocent action, pretending to be surprised.
“You have good acting skills. A bit disgusting.”
“Hu-hung, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“I heard you’re selling good stuff here?”
At those words, a strange light passed through Lee Soo-jin’s eyes, which was seen under her long eyelashes.
“Good stuff… I don’t know.”
“Let’s stop here, hung? I noticed you approached me to catch the wind.”
Pretending to drink the wine, I put the glass down on the table and put my arm on Lee Soo-jin’s shoulder.
“Hmm. Since when did you know?”
“You didn’t even try to hide it, huh.”
Lee Soo-jin smiled with a face saying I got it right. Then it was right.
“Hit me in moderation and sell it to me. That’s what you were going to do from the beginning.” (적당히 튕기고 나한테 팔아)
“There’s a misunderstanding. I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about. We have a lot of things.”
It meant to spit out more information if you want to get what you want. I tapped my finger on the sofa for a moment as if thinking about it, then opened my mouth.
“We had a meeting at a good place a week ago. Someone I know brought a dog.”
“Dog?”
“He was one crazy bastard. He couldn’t even stand up properly, I wondered what he had eaten.”
Pretending to remember that time, I chuckled and continued talking.
“He was scared and screamed, and then he was terrified of being sick. It was pretty good to see. Thanks to that, the atmosphere was good.”
“Aa…”
Lee Soo-jin, who had quietly listened to my explanation, nodded her head, understanding.
“I asked the dog and he said he bought a drink here. It worked very well.”
“I know what it is.”
“I need some of that drink.”
I hope you won’t sell what you sold to that bastard to me. Looking confidently at me, Lee Soo-jin raised the corner of her lips lightly.
“What… you know exactly what you’re doing. It’s true that we sell that drink.”
“Bring it.”
Lee Soo-jin, who brushed her flowing hair, answered with a calm voice.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t give you that alone. It would be different if your identity was more certain.”
“I don’t think this is fair. You’ve heard everything I’ve said and now you’re backing out?”
“That’s the rule here. We’re also wearing something called hair. You could be a very handsome police oppa, what can I trust?” (우리도 머리라는 걸 달고 있답니다)
Tsk. I pointed to the door with a chin.
“You will regret it.”
Despite my threats, Lee Soo-jin didn’t blink an eye.
“I have a backside that I can use, too.”
As expected, surveillance cameras were installed throughout the room.
‘I expected it to come out like this, but…’
What should I do. Should I just flip it over? It would be worth trying if Park Geon-ho and Woo Seo-hyuk, who were waiting outside, could help.
‘No. The risk of things going badly is too great.’
There were too many ordinary people in the club. If the fight got bigger or tougher, it would definitely cause damage.
It wasn’t even an above-ground building nor even underground. If any of the structures were damaged and the building collapses…
When I couldn’t make a decision easily, Lee Soo-jin, who smiled that she understood, stroked my arm that was placed on her shoulders. Her red nails gleamed smoothly in the orange lighting.
“Look at your face. Do you really need that drink?”
“I’ve taken my time to come here, but I can’t help but feel dirty when I hear fucking shit.”
“Hmm. So can I make a suggestion?”
Suggestion? As I raised my eyebrows and looked at her, Lee Soo-jin whispered while putting her lips close to my ear.
“Actually, we are making a new product this time.”
“New product…”
“It’s much better than what Se-hyun-ssi is looking for. It’s still a bit unstable though.”
“What are you trying to say?”
“If you drink it, I will give you that alcohol in return. Whether it’s a new product being tested or the one you’ve been looking for.”
“……”
My mind went cold in an instant. Drink it… in other words, you have to take drugs to get drugs. I hid my complicated feelings and smiled as if it was nonsense.
“Do you think I will accept it now?”
“It doesn’t matter to me if you refuse.”
“I wonder why you suddenly changed your mind, saying you can give it to me because you don’t know what family I’m from.”
“Oh my gosh, you’re so mean. I didn’t say that. We just want to be careful.”
“Then why did you suddenly change your mind?”
When I questioned her without hiding my displeasure, Lee Soo-jin straightened her body attached to me and crossed her legs.
“Actually… because we need talented people. To be precise, like Se-hyun-ssi, they have to be a high-rank talented person.”
“Aha. You need a strong experiment?”
“Shall we talk openly? I’m a B-rank. And I feel that Se-hyun-ssi is above B-rank… at least, an A-rank talented person. Right?”
Lee Soo-jin, who found the cigarette pack familiarly under the table, pulled out a cigarette and put it in her mouth.
“We are looking for an A-rank tester. It’s so urgent that a meeting with Se-hyun-ssi is considered as luck. So I would be very grateful if you could participate in the test. Can I get you one?”
Lee Soo-jin, who had lit the fire with a Zippo lighter, puffed out stinky smoke and held out a cigarette to me. As I shook my head to say no because it might be her drugged cigarette, she gave me a sullen expression.
“Aren’t you too vigilant? This is just an ordinary cigarette.”
“Enough. And if I really am a police officer, what are you going to do with this proposal?”
“I doesn’t matter either to be honest.”
Lee Soo-jin, who smiled as pretty as a picture, tossed ashes out of the ashtray.
“I have no intention of doing business in one place for a long time. Wouldn’t it be better to make some money than to gossip about it for nothing?”
“……”
“And if you drink it, you’ll probably be stuck for a day? Ah, did you say you saw it? One dog. Maybe this one is more than that?”
I lowered my gaze. The real purpose was to feed me a newly developed drug.
If this was the case, it wasn’t very good. What this woman said afterwards was more important than this beggar’s offer as a way to get drugs.
‘It’s only been a month since we got rid of drugs, but you’re already moving?’
It was much shorter than I had expected. If it wasn’t today, there was a greater chance of missing out on the Praus Cult.
An even greater burden than before came rushing in like a rough wave. At crossroads of choice that stretched for many directions, I looked at my reflection in the wine bottle.
‘Drug…’
Why did I always get involved with this damn thing? Even after dying once and entering someone else’s body, it was like fate at this point.
Swallowing a bitter sigh, I slowly closed my eyes and opened them. Lee Soo-jin rubbed the cigarette in the ashtray and put it out. After thinking for a while, I opened my mouth.
“Fine. I’ll drink, so give me one.”
When I deliberately answered indifferently, Lee Soo-jin gave me a surprised expression.
“Oh. I thought you would definitely say no.”
“Isn’t that way you can give it to me?”
“Huung. Let me ask you one last question. Are you really okay?”
“I don’t look for drugs. If it’s real, I’ll do something to the drugs with the dog, huh.”
“You have a lot confidence.”
I continued, looking at Lee Soo-jin, who covered her mouth, and shed a pleasant smile.
“But I don’t want to just drink that though?”
“…pardon?”
“There are a few conditions. I think you have to listen to it to make me drink it.”
Lee Soo-jin, who had lost a smile at the word ‘condition’, stared at me with a cold face.
“Didn’t you say you needed alcohol, Se-hyun-ssi?”
“I need it. But it’s funny. From what you said, it seems that it’s quite difficult to get a high-rank test subject like me, so why do I have to suffer alone?”
“……”
“If you decline the terms, I won’t bother you anymore and I’ll give up the alcohol without any regrets.”
I smiled brightly at Lee Soo-jin, who had stiffed.
“Choose. What are you going to do?”
