"No, what could you say so dirty..." !"
Even though it wasn't visible, Lee Woo-shin's red li ps seemed to stretch out.
-Let's close our eyes for a moment and think. If I become the target of another foreign intelligence age ncy, I will return to Korea immediately and kill you and the deputy director first.
"yes?!"
Na Won-chang was so surprised that even his butt ocks shook.
-Are there only two other people in the park who k now my face? Even if I'm not black, the fewer people who know my information, the better. Because it's ea sy to handle all at once. Of course, the order of going is as written."
that is... Isn't that the word to use in such cases? Wenchang swallowed his saliva.
-So let's walk for about ten minutes a day. How ca n it be easier to kill a man in his twenties than a cond uctor in his fifties?
"Ugh...."
-I said it deliberately, but I want to check if the ma in point was received well. I don't trust my boss or col leagues or anything like that. But do you still want to work with me? Please keep this in mind and suggest again.
"uh.... manager... mfortable trip." Then, have a long and comfortable trip."
-okay.
It was a rich bass sound with a hint of laughter.
-Stay quiet so I don't come looking for you. Don't lo ok for me.
Contrary to the flirtatious tone that came from his li ght tone, Wonchang felt a chill run down his spine.
He was also an assassin who pretended to be a mal e prostitute, stripped a woman with a smile, and then inserted a syringe into the traitor's heart.
Agent Black, as the saying goes, was Agent Black, but if you look at it closely, they were people with a st ate-sanctioned license to kill.
"Oh, one more thing...!"
-Why is your tongue so long now that everything is over?
Look, he quickly became sensitive and sharp.
The light gray irises under the black lenses really lo ok like blades in this situation.
Although I have never actually seen those eyes. No, did anyone really see that?
Wonchang erased the trivial thoughts and continue d speaking quickly.
"I guess the owl really loved the team leader."
"....."
He was full of nerves, and suddenly there was no s ound of breathing. Owl was a code name for Han Seo -ryeong.
"Actually, there was an uproar here a month ago. T he owl came back covered in blood and said it was he r husband's blood. Then, when I filed a missing perso n report, the Southern police officers on duty that day naturally turned their backs. So the search was much faster than I expected. If I had been even a little late, traces would have been left behind. Is this luck or..."
- blood?
It was then that a rough voice intervened.
"yes?"
-What blood?
"When I checked, it was just my own blood. Howev er, on the CCTV footage from the district headquarter s, even his face was covered in blood. "The police we re shocked when they saw that."
"..."
"manager? Are you listening?"
-continue.
"Ah, yes! So, the disappearance report was proc essed faster than expected, and the fake name was q uickly discovered. I thought it would take two days. A nyway, I was surprised how the owl came up with tha t idea.
"I also downloaded a video, would you like to watch it?"
And silence continued. As the silence became long er, Wenchang instinctively realized that he had made a mistake.
"T, team leader?" He called out to him pathetically, but again there was no answer. I could only vaguely h ear the sound of teeth clenching. His palms began to sweat.
-Tell me in three seconds why I should watch that video.
Wonchang said in a surprisingly cold voice, "Uh… T hat, over there... "He stuttered. Until Lee Woo-shin p ointed it out, he didn't know why he asked that questi on.
Wonchang scratched the back of his head as if he was in despair. Facing a cold boss was much more ne rve-wracking than he expected.
Meanwhile, Lee Woo-shin, who was counting back wards from 3, began to chant without any hesitation. The voice, devoid of all playfulness, was clearly sharp.
-What kind of crazy bastard is looking through all th e finished and discarded documents? From the mome nt the withdrawal order was issued, the owl entered t he shredder. Do you know?
"sorry...!"
-I don't know.
"I know...!"
-Don't be mistaken, and don't be vague.
sorry."
I guess that was evident. I feel like I'm going to die of shame.... Wenchang lowered his head even furthe r.
However, since this is also something that humans do, I learned that it is natural for targets that have bee n monitored for a long time to develop human feeling s. This was something she was fully aware of and wa s wary of when receiving her education.
But now I've fallen into that trap... ! A belated realiz ation struck Wonchang. For some reason, the back of her head felt hot.
-Na Won-chang, do you really think what I did was marriage?
However, Lee Woo-shin was a little different in tha t respect. He did not give any affection to anyone, wh ether he knew him for one day or ten years.
Isn't he that callous even to a woman who has lived with him in the past? When she saw that the conduct or, whom she had known for ten years, was willing to kill her without hesitation, a chill suddenly ran down her spine.
-The owl was just a target, and the role I was given was that of 'husband'. The mission that had no answe r is now over, so why bring up that damn thing? Don't look back, don't pay attention.
Lee Woo-shin scolded as if he could not understan d at all.
-Could it be that you got caught for screwing up a n ordinary person? That's why you act like this becaus e you're confused, Wonchang.
"Yes, it's you...!"
Ah, your mouth, your mouth...! Wonchang tapped me on the mouth.
-Then, tell me a place that trains agents without s ex education. My brother will take you to school. Our Wonchang is a sprout that needs to grow up conscien tiously and cleanly, right?
His sarcasm made Luo Wenchang blush, but he qui ckly came to his senses.
"No, there isn't...!"
-If you understand, don't even mention the owl's wealth to me.
The voice that had been talking all along suddenly I ost its pitch.
"you...!"
At that moment, communication was cut off.
You must have been in a very bad mood.... Any way, I acted like an amateur....
The agent who actually carried out the operation had no regrets or attachment to the completed mission.
Wonchang slammed his head on the keyboard a nd sighed. Then he removed the receiver, which s eemed to be bleeding from his ear, and let his body go limp.
He gave a quiet greeting to the owl's smiling fac e one last time and turned off the monitor.
In this way, 'Operation Bird Box', which lasted a bout two and a half years, came to an end.

The world seems upside down.
Keep your hips and shoulders straight and put st rength on your toes. Seo-ryeong was standing on her head against the wall, staring at the floor.
After vowing to catch her husband, or rather, to be caught by him, the first thing Seo-ryeong start ed was to recover her damaged body.
I ate the meals I had skipped for several days on a r egular basis, and also faithfully received eye treatmen t. As a result, his eyesight had improved to the point where he had no difficulty in daily life.
"after... after...."
It's nice to see the weight being distributed evenly on both arms. It had been a while since I had this feel ing of being able to control my body as I wanted, but i t felt like everything was finally back to normal.
"Tsk...!"
However, when I remembered that my happy marri age was just a set and someone's cunning plan, my e yes became white again.
Seo-ryeong, who broke her posture, curled up on t he floor. She was realer to her than anything else, she was the only world....
"Kim Hyun.... Kim Hyun....."
Something similar to a moan came out of my teeth.
But every time it hurt like this, I gritted my teeth an d got up and stood in front of the wedding photo.
While preparing for the wedding and holding the ce remony, the photo I pulled out and hung up as if to sh ow off was Because it was an empty picture frame.
The first trace of deception I noticed after recoverin g my eyesight was this large picture frame. A ridiculo us prop that just had a picture frame.
What kind of expression did Kim Hyun make when he saw me, who was happy to receive my first pictur e frame without even knowing it?
really... It's not even funny.
"Kim Hyun, this dog."
No matter how much I searched my phone, the em pty gallery was useless.
Even if I can't see, I'll just take a picture with my ph one every now and then....
A wife who doesn't even know her husband's face.
I can't believe I'm looking for you without even kno wing your face.
Seo-ryeong felt like she was suffocating in her des pair, but she didn't want to give up here.
So I started planning my future.

"Crime... What do you mean by wanting to get cou nseling?"
Channa's fierce-looking eyes were shaking back an d forth as if she had been hit by a typhoon. It was an afternoon on a day when the sky was blue and the w eather was unusually good.
"I don't have any connections in this area."
Seo-ryeong, who had no choice, contacted Channa, who was an employee at the errand center.
Channa, who was embarrassed when she first recei ved the phone call, soon asked various questions abo ut her well-being and happily accepted the meeting, saying that she had already caught her eye. and....
"I visited the south gate of Unification Bridge and th e Imjin River in Paju. I contacted you to get advice on whether I could just pack ramen, corn, and a raincoat. When I looked into it, they said it was a good idea to steal a fishing boat. "I'm also considering Ganghwa-g un, Incheon."
