.
Hye-jin was calmly watching the building Eun-ji worked in, and the hours were passing quickly enough for her to realize that security was starting to surround her.
She needed to get out of there or at least find a good disguise.
Meanwhile, Jeon was lying on the grass and lazily fiddling with her cell phone. Even though she was on the lookout, the park was really a nice place to take a nap. The weather was still nice and cool.
When Hye-jin was watching a target, Mark used to stay with her for hours on the phone, and they would often be in complete silence, but hanging up was something unimaginable between them. After all, if she needed anything, he needed to be accessible right away.
With the light breeze hitting her face, she could feel drowsiness slowly taking over her body.
"Mark..."
The assassin thought calmly about all the details she had heard, but something was bothering her very much. The bill didn't seem to match; Mark had cited 4 children, but Eun-ji was the youngest of 5 children.
"Yeah?"
Mark seemed surprised by the call, and you could hear him typing something frantically on his keyboard. He stopped suddenly when he heard her question. "The Kims have 5 kids, but you only mentioned 4. What about the other one?"
There was a brief silence. It didn't really make sense, but Mark didn't have an answer to that question. "Yeah... I don't have any information about him, not even his name."
Hye-jin, who was lying on the grass, suddenly got up. "Seriously?"
Mark looked thoughtful on the other end of the line. It didn't make any sense, right? Bizarre. "Yes, this is a bit bizarre. It seems done on purpose..."
Hye-jin felt a little worried. Could this be a problem in the future? "Do you think it could be a problem?"
Mark understood Jeon's concern, but they didn't have any information about the fifth Kim. They were almost looking for a ghost.
"It's not a good sign, but I don't know..."
Hye-jin let out a brief sigh and lazily started to get up from the ground.
She stretched her arms and legs, feeling her muscles release the tension. It had been a fun morning.
"Whatever, but keep looking for him. If that person exists, he will have some record."
Mark agreed. He just listened to what Hye-jin was saying, but it was fun to play spy every now and then.
Hye-jin watched her surroundings, and half a dozen security guards inside the park watched her from a distance. What the hell were they so secure for? Was all that for Eun-ji?
"I'll do it... What's the plan?"
"I've already spent a lot of time here in the park, and if I stay any longer, they'll get suspicious... I think I'll take one of the cars and park it nearby."
Hye-jin was already walking along the sidewalk, looking for the nearest bus stop. The further away from the park she got, the less she felt watched. Really interesting.
Jeon could only hear the frantic typing of keys, and Mark soon spoke with excitement. "I have a great idea!"
"Tell me."
Hye-jin made a mental note not to pay any more attention to Mark's ideas.
"Mark. Why the hell is your brilliant idea for me to wear a blonde wig and sell ice cream?"
Hye-jin was great with disguises, and Mark was great at achieving the unimaginable.
Hye-jin could feel her brain frying as she heard Mark's laugh. "An ice cream truck is a perfect disguise!"
She barely had time to tell him to go to hell. It was close to the park, and next to the park, there were several children.
An ice cream truck was a gimmick for kids, right?
She sighed in defeat.
At least ten children surrounded the truck, screaming excitedly for the flavors they wanted to order.
"Lady! What do you have?"
Hye-jin wore an aqua green uniform, and to hide the features of her face, she wore thick-framed glasses along with heavy makeup. The blonde wig, of course, was indispensable.
"Whatever you want, my angel."
Mark laughed desperately on the other end of the line. So irritating.
"Be careful you don't get arrested for grooming children."
"Shut up... Do you like strawberry? I have strawberry, chocolate..."
The kid looked really happy to hear that it tasted like chocolate and was really elated.
"I like chocolate."
She put on her best smile and gently looked at the hungry children. They looked like real hungry animals. "Today we are on sale, only 1 dollar."
Hye-jin didn't particularly like children, but if the job called for her to have little best friends, so be it.
"Thanks, girl."
"It's okay, kid."
After the stressful torture of countless screaming children, she could peacefully observe the building. Mark was really surprising to the point of getting a legal permit to park next to Kim's building. Really impressive.
"Do you see something interesting?"
Hye-jin was starting to feel bored. Apart from the hunger that seemed to gnaw at her stomach, she hadn't had time to eat, and the egg salad was still the only thing sustaining her.
She took a scoop of strawberry ice cream and filled it with sprinkles and candy.
"No big deal. I see the security guards staring at me. Apparently, they're very well trained, and I don't see anyone interesting moving around."
Mark was also getting hungry, and Hye-jin could hear the soft crunching. How could she get along so well with someone so irritating?
"I checked a few more things, and Eun-ji's secretary is called Lee Jun-seo. He is 32 years old and has worked for a few months in the marketing sector."
"Why did he become secretary?"
Mark chatted between chews. "There are no reasons in the reports. The only thing is the procedures for the internal transfer of the sector change. It has at least 5 protocol sheets."
"I see. Get pictures of him."
"Ready."
Hye-jin felt her cell phone vibrate and quickly unlocked it. Jun-seo was a relatively handsome man.
"Handsome, but doesn't he have a face that cries at night?"
Mark let out a loud laugh. "Is it? I think it's cute."
Jeon Hye-jin continued eating her ice cream as she watched the time pass. The afternoon would be really tiring.
Meanwhile, at the top of the huge Kim building, Eun-ji calmly watched the movement in the street. "Do you want an ice cream, Jun-seo?"
Eun-ji knew that the ice cream truck was not uncommon to be seen around the park, but it was really curious which brand of ice cream she liked the most was parked in front of her building.
Jun-seo didn't know whether to be more surprised that Eun-ji wanted ice cream or that she knew his name. How did she know?
"Ice cream? Do you know my name?"
Young Kim laughed. "Of course, that's why I don't need you to introduce yourself. I was the one who picked your resume. Didn't you know?"
Jun-seo didn't know! He was personally interviewed by the former president, but he didn't know it was her choice.
"Miss Eun-ji is actually very good."
"Well, I know a lot more than people can imagine... Buy you and me an ice cream... I want a lemon ice cream."
"Right, miss."
