"...yes?"
"When I defected to North Korea."
Seo-ryeong spoke extremely dryly.
"Now, wait..! "So you said you were going to defe ct from North Korea?"
"No, defecting to North Korea."
"...!"
"Not down, but up. "I'm going up, Mr. Channa."
Channa, who was speechless, pointed to the sky wi th a puzzled expression. Her eyes widened to the poi nt where they couldn't get any wider.
"Up, up? "Up there?"
"yes."
"....W-This sister didn't go out even though she was out of her mind!"
Channa slammed the table and stood up, paying no heed to the harsh stares from those around her. Her pupils were shaking left and right.
"And then you get shot and run away!"
"It's not exactly a defection to North Korea, it's just a pretense."
"Hey Ganna, that's it! "I want to become food for fi sh and open a tunnel in my stomach!"
Aren't you spitting too casually while you're still caut ious? Even if I wanted to, it didn't matter anymore.
Seo-ryeong happily drank tea while looking at Chan -na, whose face turned red and was furious. He said he was in his early twenties and had great energy. Thi s liveliness was unfamiliar yet new.
"At that time, Mr. Channa said that the NIS food wa s delicious."
"Of course, I told you to, but you ended up mixing b lood and tears into your bean and rice!"
"But how can a woman like me, with no skills or abi lities, find Agent Black, who has disappeared?"
There was a strange sense of intimidation in the low voice.
"So, on the contrary, you should be caught."
Seo-ryeong looked out the window and fiddled with her wrist. The traces of her husband's love affair were already completely gone. Still, she slowly rubbed her skin, recalling the throbbing pain she felt.
A simple robbery or injury cannot meet their emplo yees. So don't be a petty criminal. In order to deal wit h the National Intelligence Service, the size of internat ional crimes had to be increased.
However, Seo-ryeong was a housewife who had ju st woken up from her fantasy, she had learned nothin g special, and her husband was always far away.
So the best we could do was to try to see it in pers on.
"That's why I started defecting to North Korea."
Yes, first of all, it is a violation of the National Secur ity Act.
This is something you can do with just your bare body. They will suspect Seo-ryeong, who attempted to defect to North Korea, and will interrogate and investi gate.
Then, what happens when everyone spots Kim Hyeon, who looks suspicious? Wouldn't Hyun Kim also be come suspicious?
"Ahhh...!"
Channa was tearing up and tearing her head.
"If I catch you plotting something like this, my broth er-in-law will have my hair pulled out!"
My brother-in-law is the same Jeong Pil-gyu I saw last time. Channa added quietly.
Seo-ryeong nodded, remembering the strangely in nocent man who treated a mere employee. It was her family.
My stomach tingled at the words that naturally cam e to mind, but I soon calmed down and calmed down my expression.
"Sister, don't you think about what happens after y ou get caught? How dare you waste your bright life?
"What revenge and romance there is!"
"Because my life is not as precious as I thought."
"That is enough. Even for a moment... "If only I could see you again."
"Then what?"
In response, Seo-ryeong just gently touched the teacup. The inside of her cafe was noisy with a mix of upbeat pop songs and the voices of her customers, but she alone, lost in her thoughts, created a different atmosphere.
Luscious hair, a neck straight like a deer, a neat and tidy attitude without any unnecessary elements, and a generally cool and calm aura caught people's attention.
Then, her eyes naturally fell on a couple holding a c hild. Seo-ryeong stared at the sweet appearance with out even blinking her eyes.
While he was easily upset about nonsense like defe cting to North Korea, he didn't seem to notice what h e desperately wanted.
"well.... Should I kill him or love him more? "What should I do?"
Channa's fingers faltered as she tried to grab the glass cup.
"I think it would be nice to try both if allowed."
"I want to see you, I want to kill you... "I still feel sad every day."
She was distracted again by the sound of the baby whining and then turned her head to look out the win dow.
Could it be that it was just every day? It felt like Seo -ryeong was being tortured by being stabbed by need les, splashed with cold water, and kicked by sticks ev ery moment. Every day without him was like that.
Kim Hyun not only stole her eyes, but also stole all of the time we had accumulated together. She was s o angry and upset about it that she couldn't sleep.
".....Not under the bridge-"
Channa impulsively opened her mouth.
I heard that her eyesight has definitely improved, but now Seoryeong is groping in the air as if she were blind again. When I saw that, I got a fever for no reas on.
"You're going to get caught anyway, so don't bothe r and just go by car."
***
Unification Bridge, located in Paju, Gyeonggi-do, is a border area that crosses the Imjin River.
Because it borders North Korea and was the gatew ay to the Inter-Korean Immigration Office, military se curity was also thorough.
All investigations and field trips have been completed.
"after...."
Seo-ryeong got into her husband's car and gripped the steering wheel tightly.
Her goal is not to actually defect to North Korea, but just pretend. All she did was get caught posing as s omeone trying to defect to North Korea. So she was interrogated by a National Intelligence Service agent.
When I sat in the driver's seat, I couldn't move at fir st. The seat that was adjusted to Kim Hyun's body wa s so wasteful and painful.
It seemed as if he, who had been invisible all of a s udden, was clearly pictured, so I just sat there blankly, not even noticing the passage of time.
What's the point of disappearing like a ghost, leavin g traces behind? Seo-ryeong stepped on the accelera tor hard, as if to blow away the frustration she felt at t hat time.
I passed Unification Park and Imjingak and continue d down the road without thinking.
Soon, double and triple rows of yellow barricades a nd a large warning sign telling unauthorized vehicles t o make a U-turn came into view.
It was the southern checkpoint of Unification Bridge.
Civilian access restricted area.
From here, you had to have a pass.
Of course, Seo-ryeong did not carry it and did not s low down. The vehicle inspector gave a hand signal to stop for a moment, but Seo-ryeong did not take his f oot off the accelerator even for a moment. He ignored the checkpoint and just continued straight ahead.
"uh uh...!"
The inspector's panicked voice could be vaguely he ard.
bang-!
As I hit the barricade roughly, my torso hit the steer ing wheel and I felt sick. Nevertheless, Seo-ryeong i mmediately shifted her gear and stepped on her accelerator again.
Quickly catch me.
And take me to my husband.
Her small jaw tightened. The barricades were persi stently connected at regular intervals. Seo-ryeong po unded the body of her car, shaking off the pursuing s oldier and crashing into another obstacle.
puck-!
The back of my head was tingling as it hit the head seat. This time, I must have bitten my tongue and it t asted like blood.
"Ugh...!"
The inspectors who heard the commotion began ru shing out. Seo-ryeong, thinking that she was almost caught, attacked the facility even more threateningly.
The sturdy SUV bumper was suddenly shattered, b ut my mind was filled with thoughts like 'A man in his 20s who ran across the Unification Bridge was arrested on charges of violating the National Security Act.'
Good, this is just fine.
The more I repeatedly drove straight and backward and slammed into the barricade, the darker the skid marks remained on the road. Just then, a gap appeare d in the opposite lane, and Seo-ryeong turned the ste ering wheel, her eyes flashing.
'Quickly catch him!'
My heart rate increased and my mouth began to dr y. It was at that moment that she chewed her lower li p and glanced at her side mirror.
".....!"
The frozen face suddenly became blank.
Uh....?
One of the soldiers following him had fallen to the floor and was having a seizure. For some reason, the b ody that had lost control was shaking violently, and th e colleagues who were chasing Seo-ryeong were fran tic as they held on to the arms, legs, and head of the fallen person.
They rang the radio as they stood in line, but it was unclear whether they were calling for Seo-ryeong or c alling a medic.
While she was mesmerized, the distance traveled h ad already exceeded 2km. There was nothing stoppin g her in front or behind her Unification Bridge.
Originally, he should have been caught right away a fter a close chase, but it was too late for the vehicle that was supposed to chase him.
She was driving alone and frantically in reverse on t he stretch of road.
"Fuck, why...!"
If we continue like this... I am North Korea...!
It's really going to go like this!
It really crossed the line. I felt like I would be mistak enly arrested by the North Korean military, not our mili tary. I got goosebumps from the sense of crisis that hit me.
