1.20 Siberian Train: (18+) Instinctual desires Chapter Notes [NSFW Alert. Sexual Terms / 18+]

"Let's have sex together. how about it?"

Zhenya suddenly made a suggestion. Kwon Taek Joo frowned at him. The bastard nodded as if he had guessed something from his suspicious eyes, naked Louise slowly raised her head from underneath him. Her cheeks were red from the wine.

"I'm okay. I also want to try it once."

She placed her hand on Kwon Taek Joo's arm and silently agitated him. What the two of them are proposing to Kwon Taek Joo is not a big deal. Simply exposing private areas and mixing skin and flesh together like they used to do. Does she want to try it with two men she never knew? I don't understand why the two of them would try to manipulate an indifferent person like him.

Kwon Taek Joo made eye contact with Zhenya.

"You're not a monk either, who knows how to endure that?" 

I don't like his joking face. While he was still making eye contact with Zhenya, Louise's hand was thrust into Kwon Taek Joo's sleeve. But even though she tried to seduce, Kwon Taek Joo's eyes were always focused on Zhenya. He smiled sarcastically again. It was obvious that Zhenya predicted he would refuse and was trying to challenge Kwon Taek Joo. It's okay to endure it once or twice, but if you just let it go, there will be no limit to it.

He quickly decided. After all, he's been dissatisfied with his desires lately, so it's not bad to relieve them by the way.

Kwon Taek Joo immediately unbuttoned his shirt and announced.

"Then I'll do it first."

"Oh??"

Zhenya stood aside with a surprised look on her face. Louise looked up at Kwon Taek Joo with a red face. It was also her first time having sex with two men at the same time.

Furthermore, she would never have the chance to meet again handsome men with looks far beyond average and completely different styles like the two of them. However, she still couldn't understand why Kwon Taek Joo, who always acted like a rock no matter how manytimes she flirted, suddenly agreed. The thought of conquering that cold man made her excited.

Louise hugged Kwon Taek Joo's neck as if waiting as soon as he took off his shirt. He lifted her up, gently placed her on the bed and pushed the bulky books to the floor. Zhenya just sat opposite with his arms crossed and observed the scene.

Louise kissed Kwon Taek Joo's ear and gently caressed his strong shoulders. She slid her finger along the curve of her collarbone and chest. His body is solid with muscles woven together, but because of his long limbs, he looks quite slim.

Louise rolled her eyes at Kwon Taek Joo and then suddenly touched his neck. "Mmmm" came a sweet sigh. Kwon Taek Joo quietly smelled the sweet scent passing through his nose, then lifted Louise's waist and pressed her to his stomach. He tucked her wavy hair behind her ear and gently bit that smooth earlobe. Louise moaned with excitement as if she had half melted. He buried his lips in her hot ear and whispered softly "You'll regret dragging me into it. My behavior in this matter isn't very good."

"...Ah!" 

Louise's hot body was turned over for a moment. Her face was buried in a soft pillow, only her lower body was raised. Kwon Taek Joo rubbed his erect penis beneath that extremely soft surface. The mass of flesh, which had always been satisfied with masturbation, now smelled the smell of flesh, making it even more clearly aroused. The lines on Louise's back stood out.

She held Kwon Taek Joo's thigh tightly, both worried and looking forward to it.

"Wait, ah..."

But before she could stop it, the hard penis slammed down and entered inside. Louise held her breath at the brutal penetration with only a short foreplay. The huge mass of flesh pressed against the white body that was trembling to the core. The sound of skin rubbing against each other rang out.

Zhenya's lips curled up. Even he himself is not that reckless and stubborn. If necessary, he will suck the breast and wait for the woman to get wet while loosening the bottom just enough. That patience is to be enjoyed later. That is also the difference between human sex and animal mating.

But Kwon Taek Joo only focused on the infiltration and ignored the entire process. A woman who dreamed of a romantic and creative relationship was left disappointed and couldn't do anything about it.

Kwon Taek Joo continued to pull out and push in without paying any attention to Louise's reaction. Her moans sounded a mixture of pain and pleasure. The faster the thrust, the more intermittent Kwon Taek Joo's breathing became. His eyebrows frowned. Soon his whole body was drenched in sweat. Muscles all over the body also become shiny and smoother.Zhenya tilted his wine glass to watch that image. His eyes never left Kwon Taek Joo's butt, which naturally stiffened every time he pressed down on his lower body. What a wonderful sight to see with good wine.

The grinding sound came from Kwon Taek Joo's teeth. He bowed his head and increased the strength in his hips. Even when biting my lips, the moans and heavy breathing still couldn't be stopped. His sleek and toned body flexed with each thrust, visible through the movements of each small muscle. At first glance, it's closer to sports than sex. That's probably why.

Zhenya even forgot about drinking midway through and immersed himself in the action taking place before his eyes. 

Drops of sweat flowed down Kwon Taek Joo's pointed chin. If you lick it, it will probably be very delicious. Heat also lingered in Kwon Taek Joo's endless black eyes. His eyes sparkled and glowed.

Zhenya leaned forward and observed Kwon Taek Joo more attentively. His thighs bulged slightly, creating a feeling of fullness and wiggling violently as the stimulation came every second. It is so solid and elastic that it can be easily grasped with one hand. Broad shoulders, slim waist and long, slender straight limbs. Looking from the back it is difficult to find any curves on the body. Maybe that's why his eyes naturally slid down to the curve below Kwon Taek Joo's slim waist. The buttocks protruding below the waist were covered with sweat.

What will happen if you rub it and then squeeze it tightly? His persistent and dark gaze stopped there.

"Umm, haaaaaaa..."

Kwon Taek Joo clenched his molars and raised his head again. A large vein stood out on his broad forehead. Maybe the sweat made his eyebrows and eyelashes look thicker than usual.

The hip movements that had been mercilessly pounding became noticeably slower. Now. The waist above the buttocks is moving much more smoothly and beautifully. Zhenya looked at the buttocks that were trembling with each impact and then felt his jaw suddenly start to tingle.

He couldn't take his eves off Kwon Taek Joo even though he realized the glass of wine in his hand was empty. Eyebrows furrowed in pleasure, trembling fingertips clenched, lips bitten and even muffled moans. Zhenya engraved them into his mind little by little without wanting to miss a single detail. If he licked it with his tongue and not his eyes, Kwon Taek Joo would have been drenched in saliva.

"Uhmmmm, ummm, ah ah ah ah ah ah...!"

"...Krrgh!"

The very next moment, Kwon Taek Joo pushed his center closer. The groan he had been suppressing for a while burst out like the roar of an animal. His penis, which had reached its critical point, suddenly exploded, making even his buttocks tense.

Zhenya watching eyes flashed. He suddenly put his hand towards Kwon Taek Joo's butt right in front of him. It was a completely instinctive action that even his mind didn't realize. Just ashis fingertips touched the soft, bulging flesh, that arm was suddenly grabbed. Zhenya looked up in shock and saw Kwon Taek Joo gasping for breath. 

It wasn't until he saw Kwon Taek Joo wrinkling the bridge of his nose, looking uncomfortable, that he suddenly regained consciousness. Zhenya looked down at his hands in confusion. He laughed at his own unreasonable lust when looking at a man's butt. Why was his mouth dry and his throat burning just from seeing something so wonderful?

"If you act crazy like that again I'll kill you."

Kwon Taek Joo growled frankly. The hand that was being grabbed was thrown away violently. Zhenya laughed to himself.

Kwon Taek Joo let go of Louise without regret after ejaculating once. She was exhausted and couldn't move for a while. Kwon Taek Joo picked up a bottle of vodka and gulped it down even though it didn't help quench his thirst. A little wine ran down his chin, wetting his neck and chest.

He panted and sat with his back against the wall. Louise moved closer and lay on his lap.

Kwon Taek Joo didn't say anything but just gave her vodka.

Louise had just reached out to grab the bottle when suddenly her body slipped, because Zhenya was pulling her ankle.

"Ah.. 10 minutes. Rest for 10 minutes and then continue."

Louise exhausted all her strength to speak, a tone of both pleading and complaining. But Zhenya pulled her closer and began to fondle her. Once again she said "It's only 10 minutes" but Louise soon gave up compromising and laughed when the man bit her on the chest.

He licked the semen from her hips. Louise felt tickled and giggled, but Kwon Taek Joo who was observing suddenly frowned. When their eyes met for a split second, an undisguised mocking smile spread across Zhenya's face.

Kwon Taek Joo ignored it and didn't react at all. Should he take a shower while the two of them roll around? After bathing, your mind and body will feel comfortable. After that, even if they have sex or exercised all night, he could still get a good night's sleep. This is more than enough crazy entertainment.

That was when he was about to sit up with that thought in his mind.

"...Aaaah!"

Louise let out a small scream and fell on top of Kwon Taek Joo, as if she had been thrown away. During the chaos, he hugged Louise who suddenly rushed over. A moment later he realized what had happened. 

Zhenya suddenly lifted Louise's leg. As a result, Louise's weight increased and Kwon Taek Joo could no longer move.Zhenya folded Louise's body in half and immediately inserted his ugly penis into her. As the man's large meat was pushed under Louise, the pressure was also placed on Kwon Taek Joo, who was underneath. What is this crazy guy thinking?

"Aaaaa... the... uhm... A hahahaaaaa"

The sound of wild moans hit his ears. Every time Louise's body swayed, those vibrations were also transmitted to Kwon Taek Joo. The moment Zhenya's thighs approached, widened and rubbed against Louise's buttocks, Kwon Taek Joo's shoulders contracted.

Zhenya buried his penis all the way to the base and took a deep breath. Perhaps it's because of the angle of view that his shoulders also look particularly large.

Is he going to keep doing this? Kwon Taek Joo's eyes wavered because of an unfortunate premonition. Almost at the same time, a satisfied smile appeared on Zhenya's lips. He tried his best to push Louise away, but Zhenya didn't even give him that chance.

Immediately, he pulled his hips back and started pounding his meat down. Every time Zhenya hit Louise's lower abdomen, her body was weighed down with Kwon Taek Joo being pressed to the point of hitting her back against the wall.

"Ahhh... haaaa... uhmmm haaaaaaaaaaaaa...!"

Louise lost her mind in extreme excitement. The feeling of pleasure was so intense that her eyes flashed. The girl let out scream-like moans and her whole body jumped. I don't know where that strength came from, but the body stimulated by that desire stubbornly crushed Kwon Taek Joo. Zhenya didn't pay any attention and started digging inside Louise. She was pressed so tightly against him that it felt like it was Kwon Taek Joo who was being violated, even though Louise was the one involved. As the distance with Zhenya got closer, it seemed like something deep in his stomach was being punctured. Even his groin had an indescribable burning sensation.

Kwon Taek Joo pushed Zhenya away to escape that strange situation. No, I tried to do that.

But Zhenya grabbed his wrist first. He tightly grasped both of Kwon Taek Joo's arms, who was angry. He tried to shake it off by all means but could not withstand the monster's grip.

His wrist, which was shaking and struggling, was now pressed against the wall. Zhenya blocked all of Kwon Taek Joo's movements and then freely pushed his hips.

"Crazy...!" 

"Ah... ahaaaaaa!"

As soon as Kwon Taek Joo started swearing, Louise started moaning as if she was about to die. She even clung tightly to Kwon Taek Joo's thighs to keep her body from continuously sliding down. He was helpless before the oppression of two people rushing towards ultimate pleasure. Kwon Taek Joo glared at Zhenya with eyes full of indignation.

The two eyes continuously met. To be more precise, even before he looked at him,Zhenya's eves never left Kwon Taek Joo for even a second.

This crazy bastard, what the hell does he want?

Even when Kwon Taek Joo turned his head away, Zhenya's eyes still did not leave him. Even though the feeling of excitement paralyzed his reason, he still did not give up looking at Kwon Taek Joo. The more he pushed down, it seemed like a hole that wasn't there was getting bigger and bigger. He started to feel strange. When a large body pressed tightly against him, Kwon Taek Joo felt suffocated even though it was a man, a vague premonition that he was about to be crushed until he was shapeless.

You will be devoured. Instinct screamed that Kwon Taek Joo must stay away from this man and turned on the warning lights non-stop. His vision, which was wavering despite his will, seemed to flash golden. There was no way such a strange situation could be a coincidence.

Louise's wet bottom and Zhenya's huge muscles continuously mixed together, creating a constant friction sound. Kwon Taek Joo's ears started to hurt.

The act of penetrating deeply into the base and then pulling out, leaving only the glans remaining, is repeated continuously. The penis moves in and out quickly and sometimes loses its way and slides out. Kwon Taek Joo was accidentally stabbed hard in the knees and thighs by Zhenya's rock-hard meat many times. The impact was so strong that it could punch through a hole that wasn't there. At one point, he seemed to intentionally rub the tip of his ripe red penis against Kwon Taek Joo's thigh. And if he tried to protest because of that suspicious behavior, he would pretend not to know and take that hateful piece of meat away.

Kwon Taek Joo is going through an unpleasant state. The bastard seems to know how to commit crimes without even touching the other person. Louise exists as a reason, but it is Kwon Taek Joo who is his chosen object, not her. Being controlled by that guy's will is more embarrassing than being stabbed in the back.

"A, a, a, haa, haaaaa!" 

Louise gasped and fell with a thud. The girl, who was holding Zhenya's neck, was trembling as if she had been electrocuted without any countermeasures. Zhenya then grabbed his exploding penis and pulled it out.

The mass of flesh was pulled out before it could experience the peak pleasure, trembling with discomfort. He placed it on Kwon Taek Joo's lap and stroked it hard. The item with the hole in the front throbbing like a living creature suddenly exploded. Zhenya's hand holding Kwon Taek Joo's arm also tightened.

"Aa.."

Thick semen erupted into the air. Kwon Taek Joo reflexively turned his head away but could not avoid being shot on his eyelid. Semen slowly dripped down the side of his face. Zhenya didn't even let go of his wrist.

"Ah, oh my god... I made a mistake again."Zhenya made excuses while grinning. Kwon Taek Joo glared as if he was about to tear him to pieces. The semen shot out, making his eyes and the surrounding area turn red. His jaw clenched so hard it hurt and his veins stood out clearly. His hands trembled and he clenched them into fists.

One day Kwon Taek Joo will definitely kill this bastard himself. 1.21 Siberian Train: It Seems to be Zhenya The sun came out again. Another day has come. Kwon Taek Joo stepped out after washing his face, and at the same time there was an announcement that the train would soon arrive in Irkutsk. Only then did he understand why the inside of the train car was so messy. Irkutsk, the municipality of Baikal, the world's largest freshwater lake, is a tourist attraction on the Trans- Siberian train.

Most tourists get off the train there. Louise is no exception.

Zhenya has not been seen since early morning. Kwon Taek Joo also didn't know why he was so busy alone. Even though he was known as a partner, he never told me where he was going and what he was doing. So what's the difference between now and when he went on the mission alone? It seems like you're just wasting time on unnecessary things.

What happened last night suddenly appeared in Kwon Taek Joo's mind. His mood suddenly calmed down. He washed his face many times whenever he thought about it, but the unpleasant feeling never went away. Kwon Taek Joo still felt the characteristic mucus on his cheek. Zhenya said it was his fault, but no matter how you look at it, it was clearly a provocative and intentional act. Just like that, the uncomfortable feeling in his heart became more and more boiling. 

Kwon Taek Joo gritted his teeth and shook his head to clear away his thoughts. The more you get caught up in that joke, the more it will follow that kid's intentions. Useless thoughts will only distract you from your work. A crazy guy who doesn't know whether he is a colleague or a saboteur is driving him crazy and driving his eves, Kwon Taek Joo has to keep calm even more.

He cracked his knuckles while looking at the surveillance screen.

What was surprising was that Hong Yeo Wook's seat was empty. Did he go to the bathroom?

Over the past few days, he has only left his seat once or twice in the morning to go to the bathroom. So wait a little longer and he'll probably be right back.

But Hong Yeo Wook did not appear after a while of waiting. There is no reason to delay any further. Kwon Taek Joo quickly took the Colt with him and left the room.

The passage to the special room remained silent. He thought Zhenya was outside on the phone but he wasn't even there. He must disappear when something important happens.

Kwon Taek Joo walked down the hallway and plugged in both headphones. A volume control appears on the connected phone's screen. It wasn't like he had any intention of leisurely listening to music at this time. Kwon Taek Joo carefully operated the touch dial and held the phone near the closed door of each room in the special car and first class car.

When he increased the volume to the maximum, every move inside the door was vividly transmitted through the headphones. A deep sigh rang out in one room, and a voice offeringcoffee to the group rang out in another room, but he didn't detect any suspicious signs.

It would be better if he went straight to the second class room and found Hong Yeo Wook.

Kwon Taek Joo wore headphones and crossed each train car.

Most of the passengers in the second class were tourists, so the entire carriage shook as the train passed through an endless snowfield stretching outside the windows. Even just a tree standing alone still makes admiring sounds and people compete to take pictures. And as a result, passing through the train car is even more difficult. 

Kwon Taek Joo walked step by step while carefully checking each seat. Or has Hong Yeo Wook discovered that she was being followed and is hiding somewhere? The train has been running non-stop since last night. Hong Yeo Wook cannot suddenly fly into the sky, nor can he disappear from the ground. So if you look closely, Kwon Taek Joo will be able to find him.

Obviously so, but when the target disappeared, Kwon Taek Joo couldn't help but feel uneasy.

If Zhenya cooperated a little as a partner, the two of them could take turns and take shifts so they never took their eyes off the subject. No, he was born like that so even Kwon Taek Joo himself had to keep an eye on him, Instead, he regretted being caught up in his temptation.

He moved forward as if he was being urgently pursued.

Kwon Taek Joo walked past the second class cabin, luggage and people bumping into him, making him exhausted. A cramped and bustling third-class cabin was right in front of him.

Because the train is about to enter the station, it will certainly be no different from a squat market. He took a deep breath and opened the door.

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa...!"

First, the echoing cry of a child rang out. Even finding a place to put your feet on the floor is very difficult. The air was stuffy and filled with a musty smell and people around were either making noise or lying there completely exhausted. The traders only focused on unloading and arranging the huge packages with frowns on their faces.

Just passing by is tiring, searching for Hong Yeo Wook meticulously in a place like this is harder than dying.

Kwon Taek Joo kept looking around while walking through the luggage area. He checked each person's face, looked at every corner of the seat and the piled-up luggage packages. But Hong Yeo Wook was nowhere to be seen. Did he go to the bathroom or go down to the restaurant? Kwon Taek Joo straightened his wrinkled clothes while moving to the restaurant compartment.

The fragrant smell of coffee entered his nose as soon as he opened the door. It was only early in the morning so there weren't many people. Thanks to that, searching is much easier.

Among the passengers sitting far apart was the only Asian person, a woman sitting alone.

There is nothing to doubt because it cannot be Hong Yeo Wook in disguise, because of the difference in physique. He also didn't have enough time to disguise himself as a Westerner. 

Kwon Taek Joo finally had to leave the train car without collecting anything.At the same time, Kwon Taek Joo tilted his head at a new question that appeared. Besides Hong Yeo Wook, he hadn't even met Zhenya until now, even though he looked carefully and didn't miss anything. There was no way he could pass by without noticing his large body and presence. Where is he anyway?

Kwon Taek Joo looked out the hallway window with suspicion. No matter how far you go, there is only a snow field outside. Even the sparse old trees seemed to be covered with thick snow. The white snow glistened wherever the sun hit it, looking as if gold dust had been poured on it. He looked at it meaninglessly and rearranged his thoughts in his mind.

At that moment.

"....."

Kwon Taek Joo quickly turned around. There is a toilet at the front. It is mainly used by second and third class passengers. A moment ago it seemed like there were people there.

He slowly approached and pressed his ear to the door but didn't hear any sound. Kwon Taek Joo took out his phone from his pocket and brought it near the door.

Through this phone, he can only feel the signs of someone's collar moving too much. Is it Hong Yeo Wook? Or Zhenya?

Kwon Taek Joo did not hesitate to turn the door handle, but the door was locked tightly from the inside. How strange. On cross-border trains, when approaching a stop, using the restroom is prohibited for about 10 minutes to 30 minutes. At large stations like Irkutsk, doors are often locked for about 30 minutes to limit use. Kwon Taek Joo left the room with only about 40 minutes left before arriving at the station, so now there are about 20 minutes left. Who went into the bathroom and locked the door? Could also be ship staff. Even so, Kwon Taek Joo still has to check again.

He took a few steps back and took out the Colt from his hip and aimed it at the door.

At that moment, the back of his head suddenly felt tense. As an instinctive signal, Kwon Taek Joo immediately turned his head to look back. In the rapid chang of vision, a man wearing a jersey was passing by. He was wearing a hood and mask so his face could not be seen.

Without hesitation, Kwon Taek Joo pointed the Colt at that man. At almost the same time, this man also pointed a gun at Kwon Taek Joo. Arms stretched out and crossed in the air.

Who is that? Is it Hong Yeo Wook? 

Kwon Taek Joo pulled the trigger halfway and tried to determine the opponent's identity. But in the next moment, a heavy shock hit the back of his head.

"Ah!"

In an instant, his vision turned yellow and shattered like shards of glass. A sudden attack without the sound of the bathroom door opening, and without any warning signs.Kwon Taek Joo held his head and staggered. The place where he was hit seemed to burst and something warm ran down the back of his neck. The stench of blood spread out in an instant.

He still maintained vigilance even though his mind was spinning. Kwon Taek Joo alternately pointed the gun at the man in the coat and the bathroom door.

But a moment later his knees trembled and he collapsed. His body, which was barely able to hold on, finally collapsed. He touched the floor and tried to somehow stand up, but it was just a struggle of his mind. His body was already limp and motionless.

In the increasingly blurred vision, the silhouettes of strangers approaching appeared dimly.

Kwon Taek Joo's vision is no longer normal. It was impossible to clearly distinguish which of them was wearing black, but why did he have such a strong feeling of Deja vu?

While his consciousness became chaotic, he seemed to have seen Zhenya.2.1 Twilight Vol 2: Do you have abs?

"Please take good care of mom. I trust you guys."

Dad always says that every time he leaves the house. To little boy Kwon Taek Joo, that greeting was strange. I don't know why, but it wouldn't be surprising if Dad never came back.

And in fact, Dad's greeting each morning became his last.

His mother sobbed in front of his father's portrait. Kwon Taek Joo took a step back before that pitiful cry. He was suddenly afraid. At that time, seeing his mother become a stranger shocked Kwon Taek Joo more than the despair of not being able to see his father again.

His brother is different. Even though he wasn't an adult yet, he was more determined than anyone there. As if he had been preparing for a long time, he dutifully took care of his family.

It was he who comforted his mother and took care of the food. After the funeral, he was also not swayed by the expectations, worries and responsibilities of those around him. 

He is an upright and upright person. For her mother, her older brother is someone she can trust and rely on, and for her younger brother Kwon Taek Joo, he is a comforting, protective shade. Thanks to that, he never had to feel the absence of his father.

The interaction between the two brothers is not much, partly because of the six-year age difference, partly because his brother is often away from home because of work. The two weren't particularly close, but they weren't strangers either. The two brothers lived like that.

It's rare for two people to contact each other unless something special happens. So one day, Kwon Taek Joo was surprised to receive a phone call from his brother. He had a feeling something was wrong, but his brother just called to ask. During the conversation, he did not mention any special stories.

"If I leave the country this time, I probably won't be able to return for two months. Please take good care of my mother for me."

The conversation in the end was no different from normal, but Kwon Taek Joo still felt strangely uncomfortable and even he couldn't find the reason. It was probably just a coincidence, because even after a while, nothing happened to his brother and his family.

Kwon Taek Joo quickly shook off the insecurity in his heart.

Accidents always happen suddenly without warning, It came as a shock only after he had relaxed his mind. Same thing that day. A call came in late at night. Even though he heard clearly what the other person was saying, Kwon Taek Joo still couldn't believe it. He thought he was having a nightmare. He did not know how he arrived at the announced location. Both mother and Kwon Taek Joo were not conscious.

When the two arrived, there were many people gathered there. They are soldiers, bereaved family members, reporters and curious onlookers. The memories after that are no longerclear. All Kwon Taek Joo could do was sit there dazed in the chaos of despair, sadness, and anger mixed together.

He took a nap while tending the altar. Sleeping or waking up is no longer his will. Amidst the dreams, the figures of his father and brother appeared. The two of them repeated the same words as if they already knew what was going to happen. He hated those repeated requests.

He covered his ears and they started scolding him to answer quickly. Both take the form of the moment of death, an incomplete and haunting image. 

When Kwon Taek Joo woke up in a daze, his mother came and sat next to him. Contrary to fears, the mother who fainted after seeing her brother's body still maintained her usual demeanor. At least it seems that way. She held Kwon Taek Joo's hand tightly when he had a nightmare and gently stroked his sweaty hair.

"Now I can only live by looking at you."

In the mother's tired eyes, a determination suddenly flashed.

——

Kwon Taek Joo took a deep breath and opened his eyes. Thin eyelashes trembled in the open vision. A vibration continuously hit his head. Dizziness too. The surface of the object in contact with his skin was cold and hard, like a glass window. He slowly closed his eves and then opened them, the scene outside the car window passed quickly. Scattered buildings, abandoned cars along the road, dense but bare trees, it looks like a city made of snow.

Still on the ship? No. he could no longer feel the noise or vibration characteristic of the wheels running on the railway. But he still moved regardless of his will. It's just that Kwon Taek Joo didn't remember switching to another means of transportation midway.

"Are you awake?"

While he was still trying to understand the situation, a familiar voice rang out. Kwon Taek Joo made eye contact with the man sitting in the driver's seat through the rearview mirror.

Just look at his curled eyes to know who he is. Who else, it's Zhenya.

"What is this... Ugh!"

Kwon Taek Joo groaned because of the dull pain in his spine. He unconsciously put his hand on the back of his neck and felt a bandage there. The last memory vaguely appeared.

He was attacked by a group of two people while searching for the missing Hong Yeo Wook.

Have you been unconscious since then? How long has it been, how did you get off the train, are you in the car and where are you going now? Kwon Taek Joo cannot guess anything.

He stared at the rearview mirror as if looking for an explanation.

"A lot happened while you were sleeping."Zhenya blinked again, his tone sounding humming. Kwon Taek Joo just glared in disapproval at the bastard who looked quite happy but didn't say anything else. He was so curious about what happened while unconscious that such teasing didn't bother him.

But Zhenya still did not clearly resolve Kwon Taek Joo's doubts.

"You don't remember anything, do you?"

"No problem."

"Yes, that's good, but remembering it clearly would be embarrassing." 

"Stop beating around the bush and say it properly."

"Well, I won't refuse if you want to embarrass yourself more. I went back to my room and couldn't find you. The bathroom was empty. I waited for a few minutes and you didn't come back, nor could I contact you.", I found it strange so I went to find him myself. And guess what, you were lying in front of the bathroom door."

"...Hong Yeo Wook suddenly disappeared so I went to look for him and was attacked by them. Those two guys seemed to be in the same group. Did you see their faces?"

"Let's see. Should I say I saw it?"

"If you see it then you see it, if not then you haven't seen it yet. Why do you keep answering vaguely?"

"I should have taken the time to look closely. It was all crushed."

It's unclear why Kwon Taek Joo believes that Zhenya played an important role in making things like this. He saw this partner with his own eyes before collapsing. What kind of enthusiasm and sympathy do you expect from him? It's just that he found something interesting after a long time.

Kwon Taek Joo gave him a mocking look.

"That's legitimate defense, just legitimate defense."

Zhenya explained in his characteristic superficial tone. Now Kwon Taek Joo no longer believes in his shameless justification.

"You must have determined their identities before dealing with them, right? Is it true that they were sent by Bogdanov?"

Kwon Taek Joo silently expected it, but Zhenya immediately affirmed that this was not the case. The answer that followed was even more surprising.

"They're skinheads. You know, right? People who want to create a world just for white people.""..What?"

"You were attacked by those people."

No way. Certainly one name in that group is Hong Yeo Wook. It must have been him. because even though he searched all the train compartments, Kwon Taek Joo still couldn't find him anywhere. And as soon as they confronted him, he attacked him without hesitation, so it was definitely because Hong Yeo Wook discovered that he was being followed. That guy in black even has the newest gun, so there's nothing left to doubt.

But was their true identity simply skinheads and was Kwon Taek Joo accidentally attacked by them there at that time? This is Russia so it's not unreasonable at all. It's just that the timing was so random that it was suspicious. 

Assuming Zhenya's words are completely true, there are still doubts. If Hong Yeo Wook wasn't one of those two guys, then where would he have disappeared to? From the night before until morning, the train did not stop for a moment. Kwon Taek Joo began searching for Hong Yeo Wook and looked around the ship before arriving in Irkutsk. The only hiding place for Hong Yeo Wook, who disappeared in an instant, could only be a locked bathroom.

That's not the only strange thing, either. While searching for Hong Yeo Wook, Kwon Taek Joo couldn't even meet Zhenya. If Hong Yeo Wook and Zhenya had nothing to do with the gang that attacked him, then where were the two of them during that time? Can people hide under the floor of a moving train or hang from the ceiling of a train car?

Kwon Taek Joo's eyes became sharper as he looked in the rearview mirror.

"Where were you then?"

"Are you doubting me? Or are you complaining that I Wasn't there when you were beaten?"

"I searched all over the ship looking for Hong Yeo Wook. But neither he nor you were anywhere to be found."

"You searched all over the ship... Is that true? You never showed up where I was."

"What do you mean?"

"You didn't go to the management office."

"Management department... what?"

Kwon Taek Joo was stunned for a moment as if he had been stabbed in a weak spot. Of course he didn't go to the management office. Rather, from the beginning he did not suspect that place. Unless the manager is a woman, there seems to be no reason for Zhenya to stop by. But if he was really there, that would explain why Kwon Taek Joo couldn't find him even though he searched the entire ship. But this does not mean that doubts completely disappear."What were you doing there?"

"Unlike the others who only worried about sleeping and forgetting their tasks, I followed Hong Yeo Wook all night. That guy suddenly left in the middle? Usually at that time, he would read a book or do something because the train hadn't arrived yet. I felt a bit suspicious so I went to his train car and met the woman in charge there. I asked if she had seen him, and she answered quickly. Hong Yeo Wook said he wanted to change the destination from Irkutsk to Moscow and asked how to meet the manager." 

If you want to change your itinerary when traveling by cross border train, you can do so by meeting with the person in charge to process it. This method is often used when you go further than your original destination. But Hong Yeo Wook bought a ticket to Moscow from the beginning. Even if something goes wrong, there's no reason to see the manager unless you want to prolong the journey. All he has to do is get off the train at the desired location and be reimbursed for the remaining cost of the journey there. The strangest thing is that while he has to keep his identity a secret, he is obsessed with refunding tickets that are not worth much.

A premonition flashed through Kwon Taek Joo's mind. He immediately stared at the rearview mirror. His eyes seemed to be checking to see if his guess was correct or not. Zhenya nodded gently.

"That's right. I was in the management office. The Bogdanovs contact was the deputy manager."

Kwon laek Joo felt like he was stabbed in the back. Is contacting Hong Yeo Wook in the middle of something so meaningful? He'd thought they'd put a contact on board. Of course, from the beginning he also considered the possibility that the contact could be disguised as a normal tourist. He also did not rule out the possibility that they could pretend to be flight attendants on the ship. But no matter how clever he was, he could not imagine that even public officials would be manipulated for their convenience. What a surprise.

People who are flying are inherently faster than people who are running. The strength suddenly disappeared from Kwon Taek Joo's shoulders, which were stiff with tension.

"So how is he? How could you have missed him?"

"If so then yes, if not then no."

The situation is getting serious but everything is still vague and unclear. Kwon Taek Joo lost all patience and got angry.

"Spit it out."

"The conclusion is that Hong Yeo Wook did not get off in Irkutsk."

"So what?""After contacting the conductor, he took off in a prepared helicopter and evaporated from the moving train."

"Is that okay then?"

"Nothing is impossible if you give up half your life."

Certainly, it's not physically impossible. Kwon Taek Joo was just confused because it was something he had never thought about. 

Hong Yeo Wook used the excuse to change the itinerary to go to the management office. The manager was the contact person who promptly called for a waiting helicopter. Adjusting the speed of the train so that Hong Yeo Wook can board the train safely will not be too difficult.

At that time, the train was approaching Irkutsk, so no passengers were suspicious even though the train was moving slower than usual. Including Kwon Taek Joo.

Hong Yeo Wook left by helicopter while the train continued to head to Irkutsk. Even if some pursuer belatedly found Hong Yeo Wook, he would have disappeared long ago. The ship's contact person could have just returned to Moscow as if nothing had happened.

All of this happened while Kwon Taek Joo was hanging out in the restroom area. His mood suddenly dropped. He thought he might miss Hong Yeo Wook, but not like this. But not always. We can't let things end so miserably. With that frustrated mood, he spoke harshly to Zhenya.

"Are you just standing there watching?"

"But what else? Should I grab the flying helicopter and pull it down?"

It sounds absurd, but somehow that seems possible with Zhenya. It's easy to imagine him catching a helicopter like he's catching a dragonfly. And it's hard to believe that this kid missed Hong Yeo Wook right before his eyes.

He was not the type to let his targeted prey get away. Unless he intentionally let it go. At least that's the Zhenya that Kwon Taek Joo knows up to this point. As if to confirm the thoughts in his mind, Zhenya admitted that he wanted to release Hong Yeo Wook.

"I thought there was no need to catch him right away, so I left him alone. There was no need to fight the snake."

"Why are you so confident?"

Zhenya picked up something and threw it at Kwon Taek Joo. He caught it and realized it was a location tracking device. A red dot is flashing at the coordinates on the screen.

"What is this?"

"My confidence."

"Did you install a location tracking device on Hong Yeo Wook?""But this shallow method will probably lose its effectiveness quickly."

"Why?"

"I fed him it."

"...Feeding?"

"I've been watching what he's been eating for the past few days. He's only eaten a little bread.

It seems that Russian food doesn't suit Hong Yeo Wook's taste very much. When the Asian people around him started to enjoy it." He seemed quite interested in Chinese instant noodles.

So I asked the lady selling snacks a favor.'' 

Did Zhenya put a tiny location tracking device in instant noodles and sell it to Hong Yeo Wook? He's only eaten dry bread these past few days, so he must be craving soup. If the soup is spicy enough, it will be difficult to be wary. For a Korean like Kwon Taek Joo, this story is completely understandable.

He hated to admit it, but Zhenya was right this time. If Hong Yeo Wook is stopped by force, Bogdanov's side will also know of Kwon Taek Joo's presence. If so, the original plan may have to be changed to maintain secrecy.

Instead, it seemed much more effective to let Hong Yeo Wook escape as planned and chase after him. The most important goal of this operation is to determine the identity of 'SS-29, not to hinder Hong Yeo Wook's communication with Bogdanov.

Zhenya suddenly said "One day is enough". This also means that the time allowed is only one day. When Hong Yeo Wook digests all the food, the navigation device becomes meaningless.

Kwon Taek Joo only hopes that Hong Yeo Wook will meet 'SS-29' before that time.

The target continues to move southeast. The sign outside the window said that was the direction to Lake Baikal. Kwon Taek Joo didn't know if it was the real destination or if they were trying to change the route again. Anyway, fortunately, the gap between him and Hong Yeo Wook is gradually narrowing.

The car carrying two people rushed through a large field. There was not a single person on the road, let alone a single car passing by. Is it because your head is temporarily anemic?

Even though he was not in such a situation, he suddenly felt dizzy.

Dense clumps of cypress trees appeared on both sides of the road. The quiet scene became even more desolate because snow covered the dry branches. No matter where Kwon Taek Joo looked, he only saw a picture of pure white snow and trees.

As soon as we left the cypress forest, an endless snowfield opened up. The piled up snow made the boundary of the road unclear. The surrounding space was wide open but made his heart uneasy. Kwon Taek Joo felt a sense of despair, as if he would never be able to get anywhere.He kept looking for signs of life. Not long after, he saw a herd of sheep. Their fur is especially long and shaggy because they live in cold areas. Wooden houses are occasionally seen with steep roofs that help withstand large amounts of snow.

The car drove non-stop through the vast snowfield, Kwon Taek Joo began to feel reality. 

The two of them are now in the middle of Siberia.

"Is your head okay? I pinned it back."

Zhenya suddenly asked. Kwon Taek Joo looked in the rearview mirror so their eyes immediately met. He unconsciously touched the bandage on his head.

It's unknown what hit him, but the impact was so strong that he wouldn't have been surprised if his skull had been shattered. But there was hardly any blood on the bandage. Kwon Taek Joo isn't sure but it looks like the stitches are pretty good. The worrying thing is who stitched this wound?

Must be a doctor. Of course you have to be a doctor. Was there not a single medical staff member on that long train journey? Maybe he was taken to the hospital as soon as he arrived in Irkutsk. The more he rationalized, the more obvious the feeling of insecurity became.

"Who?"

"That's me."

The answer he was worried about came. The thought of being completely unconscious and in Zhenya's hands made him feel needlessly embarrassed. Kwon Taek Joo could imagine the look on his face as he squeezed the stapler. No wonder he asked about others for no reason like that.

Zhenya then continued to spout stories that weren't even asked. What was the condition of Kwon Taek Joo's scalp at the time of discovery, how much blood was shed, the characteristics of the weapon that hit his head, the feeling of using a stapler on raw meat, etc. Every time he said The pain he had been suppressing seemed to revive. Kwon Taek Joo has to quickly change the subject somehow.

"Instead, have you greeted Louise properly?"

"Who?"

"Who else? The French girl is getting married. Aren't you very pleased with her?"

"Me?"

Zhenya showed a silly expression. He even pointed at himself with his index finger. Why did he suddenly turn around like that?

"You said you couldn't sleep with the same person twice. But you slept with her three times."I don't know why Kwon Taek Joo himself has to explain those things too. A dissatisfied expression appeared clearly on his face. Zhenya looked in the rearview mirror and laughed loudly. The voice muttered something extremely gentle.

"Honestly, that girl is my type."

"What?"

"You said you like women with big and chubby breasts. Are you satisfied with that size?"

So, was seducing Louise all about that? Because she fits the ideal type that Kwon Taek Joo himself talked about? 

The past suddenly flashed like a ray of light. On the last night on the cross-border train, he was so seduced by Zhenya and Louise that he lost his way. The image of Zhenya smiling while spraying semen on someone else's face was still vivid in his mind.

Kwon Taek Joo immediately lowered the back seat window. A cruel wind blew through the open window. His hair, headband, and collar fluttered. Amidst all that, he looked up at the distant sky and let out his anger that was about to explode. He closed his eyes once and then slowly opened them, a fighting spirit he had never seen before burned in his eyes.

"I never really saw it because you hid it so well. Do you have abs?"

Kwon Taek Joo clenched his molars, as if he was squeezing out every word. Zhenya suddenly glanced at the rearview mirror.

"So suddenly?"

"When this job is finished I will personally shred it."

The declaration of war against evil continues to resound. Zhenya was silent for a moment then burst out laughing. The rest was serious but he didn't consider it a threat at all. It took a while for him to stop laughing and roll up the back window.

"I'm looking forward to it."

The corner of his mouth still drew a curve. 2.2 Twilight: The only room Lake Baikal, the green heart of Siberia, boasts a long history spanning 25 million years. The area alone is up to 31,500 square kilometers, with a diameter of 636 kilometers and a circumference of 2,200 kilometers. There are 22 islands in this giant lake, the largest and only inhabited island is Olkhon Island.

If you want to go to Olkhon Island, you need to time it properly, because crossing the river is only allowed in winter, when the surface of the giant lake is frozen solid, or in the middle of summer, when the ice has completely melted. In summer, people can cross the river by boat, but in winter like this one can cross directly by car.

Zhenya hurtled across the seemingly endless frozen lake. The ice surface was uneven, so he should have gone around in circles, but he still stubbornly kept going straight. As a result, the car body continuously vibrates. Even in that situation, Kwon Taek Joo did not complain and remained silent. Although at first glance it looked like the car was driving on part of the road, it was actually lying on a surface of water so deep that it could not be measured. So even though the ice is very thick, the tension in my heart is inevitable. 

Luckily, the worrying accident did not happen until the two arrived at the Olkhon Island pier.

It seems that even the world's famous Lake Baikal cannot overcome the extreme cold of -50 degrees Celsius.

Kwon Taek Joo stepped out of the car for a moment and looked back at the road he had just passed. The world covered with white snow was silent as if dead. Everything seemed to stop.

I don't know if it was because he was overwhelmed by the beautiful scene that appeared before his eyes, but he couldn't think or feel anything for a moment From where he was standing to the dock, there was no road that could be called a road. Only the wheel marks of the cars ahead were engraved in all directions. The place you are going is the road. The two people's car also pioneered a new route by crossing the unmarked snow.

The target has been somewhere northwest of Olkhon Island for quite some time. While crossing the mountainside following the flashing red dot, Kwon Taek Joo saw a villa in the distance. It looks smaller than the Bogdanov Mansion but has an eye-catching appearance considering the size of the island.

The car was parked near the villa. The red dot on the position tracker and the origin completely overlap. It was obvious that Hong Yeo Wook was there.

Kwon Taek Joo stuck his face out between the driver's seat and passenger seat and observed the villa.

"Is that there?"

"Maybe."Two people checked the CCTV cameras installed everywhere. There are no blind spots at all.

"We can't just rush in."

"Why not?"

Kwon Taek Joo looked at Zhenya with a puzzled expression. Why not anything? Did he not know that's why he asked?

The villa is located on high ground on Olkhon Island. Below it is a steep cliff. The wind blowing around the island continuously pushed up the edge of that cliff. That means intrusion from above is not possible. At first glance, there are no air ducts or ventilation holes to penetrate. Surveillance cameras are closely arranged at the main gate and on the walls, some are equipped with electronic guns capable of wireless control under the cameras.

"You've seen it and you still ask like that? I guess you have nine lives?" 

Kwon Taek Joo was intentionally sarcastic, but Zhenya's chin suddenly raised. His expression also became arrogant. See, that's not a compliment. He tried to protest with his facial expression but to no avail. Kwon Taek Joo quickly looked away from the bastard who was spreading his shoulders wide. Seeing him arrogant like that just made him feel embarrassed.

"We already know where Hong Yeo Wook is so that's enough. It would be crazy to attack directly, so I think it's a good idea to quickly review the situation around here."

Zhenya said "Okay" then turned the steering wheel and started driving somewhere without mentioning the destination. He didn't even use the navigation system but still drove without hesitation on the unmarked road. Zhenya seemed quite familiar with the geography of this place.

Kwon Taek Joo observed the red dot getting farther and farther away when the car suddenly tilted to one side, because it was stopped suddenly on an inclined slope. Did an animal just jump out? Kwon Taek Joo guessed and sat up straight. Zhenya suddenly opened the car door.

"LH24"

The next words became even more ambiguous. Did he suddenly intend to set up camp in a place like this? Kwon Taek Joo looked around but still didn't see anyone. He looked at Zhenya while hugging the passenger seat. He was about to close the door and go to the trunk of the car, but suddenly stopped for a moment when he saw his eyes as if begging for an explanation. Then he bent down to look at Kwon Taek Joo and teased.

"I won't eat you, so get out of the car."

Every chance I get, I tease him. Kwon Taek Joo couldn't stay silent when he heard those sounds. He grumbled as he went out. Strong winds that he didn't feel in the car blew from all directions. All he was wearing was a loose shirt and a jacket so his shoulders automatically shrunk. Kwon Taek Joo clenched his molars because it seemed like if he opened his mouth,his teeth would automatically collide. At this point, it was surprising that his heart didn't freeze.

Meanwhile, Zhenya took a fur coat out of the trunk and put it on. Even if you hunt a live animal and skin it, it cannot compare to the fur of that coat. While Kwon Taek Joo clung tightly to the door without moving, Zhenya passed him and went somewhere. After a while he noticed that Kwon Taek Joo did not follow him and turned back. Facing that silent urging, he followed step by step. 

Climbing back up a snow-covered hill was not easy, as the two had to face a strong wind blowing from the top of the hill. Even when trying to step up, Kwon Taek Joo often slipped on the snow and fell down. He was out of breath and breathed continuously, but only the cold wind and ice particles mixed in the air interfered with his breathing.

Recalling his days in the special forces team, Kwon Taek Joo also climbed over the hills ready to face any challenge. It wasn't long before he realized Zhenya's intentions. There is a guest house right at the foot of the hill. The number of rooms may not seem like a lot, but in the current situation, even that is quite good.

While Kwon Taek Joo was still hesitant, a cold wind blew. He, who was following Zhenya like a cow being led to the slaughterhouse, quickly passed him and entered the guest house first. Right at that moment the owner was sitting at the front desk. He seemed quite confused by the intrusion of a stranger wearing only a thin shirt and a bandage on his head in the current harsh cold.

"How did you get here?"

"Ph... room..."

"Have you made a reservation?"

At that moment, Kwon Taek Joo's mouth stiffened and he stuttered as if he was seeing a ghost. He trembled and had difficulty answering.

"No. I didn't make a reservation. Are there any rooms available?"

"Because it's winter, there are still rooms available, but 100% reservations are required. One room is enough, right?"

"No. Two. It must be two rooms."

Kwon Taek Joo emphasized again and again. Just in case the guesthouse owner didn't understand his pronunciation, Kwon Taek Joo stretched out his index and middle fingers. He didn't want to have to be in the same room as Zhenya anymore. If it's in combat and there's no other way, he can endure it, but when it comes to resting, he wants to feel a little more comfortable.

But the guesthouse owner's reaction was not very positive. "Oh," he said with a low sigh.

That pitiful look glanced at Kwon Taek Joo. No, that was Kwon Taek Joo's own mistake.That must be the case. All his nerves were focused on the motel owner's lips.

Immediately, the door opened and Zhenya walked in. His fur coat wiggled its fibers delicately as if it were still alive. And then the homeowner's desperate answer rang out.

"There's only one room left." 

The room assigned was extremely narrow. There is a table for two right in front of the door and a bed right next to it. That is all. There is no minibar, wardrobe or at least a shelf or place to store luggage. The only consolation was that the only bed was a bunk bed.

The two sat facing each other in silence for a long while. Kwon Taek Joo glanced around and meaninglessly stopped his gaze somewhere in the corner of the room.

He thought that if he just got off the train, he wouldn't have to be in the same space as Zhenya anymore. All you have to do is get a private room and since you won't be taking the train across the border anymore, you just need to be a little patient. But in the end, the two of them had to stay together for a few more days like this. Kwon Taek Joo was tired both mentally and physically, he just wanted to close his eyes for a while but because of that boy he couldn't rest assured.

The warmth had completely disappeared from the cup. There's still nothing to say between the two of them. The atmosphere gradually turned from awkward to heavy.

Kwon Taek Joo knows how to be comfortable. You just need to trust Zhenya. His words, actions, and thoughts are all unusual, but he doesn't know what he will do next so he won't be able to betray Kwon Taek Joo. After rationalizing it several times, he shook his head. Saying it is easy, but doing it is not easy at all.

His instincts were constantly on guard. Kwon Taek Joo also unconsciously followed Zhenya's every move to look for loopholes. That's why he quickly got tired of being with him. even though he knew that now the two of them were on the same side. Is it because he is an opponent that Kwon Taek Joo himself cannot defeat? Every time Zhenya did something crazy, his heart pounded. Now, even though he is a colleague, he doesn't know when and how he will take off that mask.

Kwon Taek Joo has met many people from all walks of life since becoming an agent. Due to complex interests, many people gradually degenerate into cunning, but rarely is anyone absolutely evil. Everyone has their own beliefs and acts according to those beliefs, it's just that their own justice may be unfair to others. 

But Zhenya is not like that. He said he would make huge profits if he got 'Anastasia'. But in reality, he doesn't seem to be controlled by money or power. Even in a situation where live bullets were fired, unable to rest properly and continuing the tedious chase without positive results, he still seemed happy. Zhenya is like a child addicted to a spy game. He doesn't care how much the game costs or how many people die. A person who only cares about excitement is him.Zhenya will retreat mercilessly once current interest cools. To end things neatly, he could have pointed the gun at Kwon Taek Joo himself without hesitation. That's why every day, every hour, every minute with Zhenya, Kwon Taek Joo is as tense as walking on thin ice.

"I can hear you rolling your eyes from all the way here."

Zhenya suddenly hit the weak point. It stung, but Kwon Taek Joo didn't show it.

"I'm just trying to organize my thoughts. This and that..."

He pretended not to know and made excuses that were not excuses. Zhenya nodded in a fake "Ah ha." The sarcastic smile on his lips remained the same. A face so beautiful that he naturally turned his gaze there, but when their eyes met, Kwon Taek Joo felt strange. That's because of his probing eyes. It's like a reptile narrowing its pupils and obsessively observing each other's expressions, eyes, and actions. If he continued to be observed like that, it seemed like all his thoughts would be revealed.

Kwon Taek Joo changed the subject so as not to get caught up in it.

"Do you know who owns the villa where Hong Yeo Wook is staying?"

"I saw the symbol engraved on the main gate of that place."

Icon? Kwon Taek Joo suddenly remembered the scenery of the mansion. Just as Zhenya said, there was something embossed in the middle of the main gate.

"If it's Russian, everyone knows it's the symbol of the Bogdanov family."

If that's true, then Kwon Taek Joo has come to the right place. He had felt like he was in a cloud because he couldn't grasp the authenticity of 'SS-29' let alone 'Anastasia', but now he felt like he had finally gotten one step closer. step. Just by infiltrating the mansion, it will be possible to know whether SS.29' is Anastasia or not.

Although it is very small, that harvest is enough to be a consolation. The difficulties of the past seem to be no longer significant. Kwon Taek Joo presented his future plans with a happy mood for the first time in a long time. 

"Okay. Then let's monitor every morning, noon and night to find a way to infiltrate there."

This time Zhenya just nodded silently and asked again, "Are you finished?" Kwon Taek Joo nodded. He stood up as if he was waiting. He quietly watched him go straight to the door.

Does his probing eves cause discomfort? Zhenya turned around before leaving.

"I heard there's a Banya here. Do you want to take a bath together?"

Banya is a Russian steam bath. Kwon Taek Joo intended to refuse out of habit but was lost in thought. He had been locked in a cramped train compartment for several days and now his whole body felt very frustrated. Perhaps due to the injury, his blood didn't seem to circulatenormally, and the terrible cold made him crave a hot sauna as well. What an attractive offer.

The problem is that Zhenya will also be there.

Kwon Taek Joo wanted to refuse to be in a small space with that kid. Furthermore, there's no problem if he uses banya first and I use it later. But the reason he didn't quickly decline the invitation was because doubts were still lingering in his mind.

Up until this point, Kwon Taek Joo had never seen Zhenya naked. Even during sex, only the partner is naked and he only pulls the zipper down. He was curious as to what he was trying to hide that made him so careful. And Kwon Taek Joo is also not the type of person to easily ignore the doubts that have arisen.

"Sure." 2.3 Twilight: Bathing Together

 Chapter Notes Somewhat 18+

Kwon Taek Joo pours water onto the stone pechka. The hot stones spew out hot steam. The hot air quickly made it seem like he couldn't breathe for a moment, but he quickly got used to it. His frozen body began to warm up. When sweat pours down your face, the accumulated fatigue seems to be released. There's nothing quite as luxurious as a relaxing soak in the sauna while on duty. (Pechka is like a oven/furnace or just a source of heat)

Kwon Taek Joo slowly turned his eyes to look around Banya. The scale is much smaller than what the guesthouse owners brag about. If two or three men entered at the same time, it would definitely be crowded. Currently, Kwon Taek Joo is alone so everything is fine but everything will change when Zhenya arrives. 

He stared at the door. Kwon Taek Joo is waiting for Zhenya. He said that it was impossible for a Russian to enter Banya without vodka and that he would stop by the kitchen. This time he won't be able to avoid taking off his clothes. Kwon Taek Joo was excited for a moment then sighed again. He wondered why he wanted to see a man's body so much.

Zhenya was the problem from the start. I don't understand why he's so hesitant, there's nothing to lose if he exposes his body a little.

Kwon Taek Joo was grumbling in his heart when the door suddenly opened. Zhenya, whom he had been waiting for endlessly, walked inside. His gaze that should have been directed at his face suddenly fixed on the center. That's because he's too tall. As a result, Kwon Taek Joo had to face his goods first. He unconsciously frowned. Zhenya's genitals are no different from weapons. It's not even erect yet but it's already so big? Finally, Kwon Taek Joo felt like he could understand why the people who fought with him were screaming like they were about to die.

He forced himself to raise his head. Zhenya smiled strangely, as if he was reading his thoughts. Kwon Taek Joo tried to hide his confusion and pretended he was also calm. Zhenya walked to the opposite seat. A mass of red flesh was clearly visible between the thighs of the man standing upright. He could feel its texture and weight at a glance. Kwon Taek Joo was trying to ignore it and turn his head away, but then by chance, his balls fell on the chair.

Kwon Taek Joo's eves instinctively followed the movement of that object. Zhenya didn't pay attention to Kwon Taek Joo's eves that were clearly focused on his crotch and just handed him the glass of wine. It's time for you to stop before things get awkward."Once it's up, it has to be plugged into any hole."

Kwon Taek Joo's eves immediately looked up. Zhenya smiled and poured him vodka, then filled his glass and quenched his thirst. Kwon Taek Joo tilted his glass and scanned every corner of Zhenya's body. 

His body is a bit unreal. It was both slim and toned, as if someone had crafted it meticulously, considering the entire layout carefully. All muscles are placed in the most beautiful positions like a deliberate work of art. Straight collar bones fit well with broad shoulders, and prominent wrists and elbows create strong yet elegant lines. Clearly divided abs are reminiscent of shark fins in perfect detail, as if they had been there since birth. Her skin was porcelain white and smooth, her whole body looked solid, as if she were to stab her with a needle, it would break.

There were no scars on that body, nor were there any skin diseases or allergies. If you look at it like that, it's hard to guess why until now Zhenya still keeps his skin hidden inside. Kwon Taek Joo felt a bit surprised and disappointed.

"What is it? I thought you were hiding something big, because you're being so careful."

"Do you crave my body that much? How sinister."

There is nothing unspeakable about this mine. Kwon Taek Jo mechanically raised the corners of his mouth and poured a bowl of water into the pechka. White steam rises with a clicking sound. Zhenya's shining appearance was momentarily obscured.

When the steam rises excessively, sweat begins to pour out like rain. Zhenya's body was also soaked. Every time he inhales, his shoulders expand, causing the muscles throughout his body to contract and move. They stretch and intertwine with each other as if each of them were an independent entity. Even though there wasn't much difference from Kwon Taek Joo's body, he still couldn't take his eyes off him.

Zhenya closed his eyes and tilted his head back, Sweat slid from his chin down his long, slender neck. Transparent drops like small marbles lay on the cheekbones and soon fell and curled over the neckline. I don't understand why these things make Kwon Taek Joo feel nervous.

Have you been looking too obvious? Zhenya suddenly opened his eyes. Immediately the two people's eyes locked together. No, exactly he was looking down at Kwon Taek Joo's body, not his face. Transparent blue pupils slowly rolled under wet eyelashes. His whole body suddenly became itchy, as if a snake's tongue was licking his skin.

Kwon Taek Joo covered his head with the scarf that was wrapped around his neck. He also leaned forward to hide that naked gaze. 

Meanwhile, Zhenya poured another glass of vodka. Kwon Taek Joo's lips stand out under the veil. Perhaps because of the heat, his lips were redder than usual, he was constantly sweating and panting. Is it because of the vodka that his plump lower lip suddenly becomes glossier?

He tilted the glass, the outline of his lips creating a vague image of the tongue inside. Zhenyadrank all the vodka in the glass and then licked his lower lip. He looked like a hungry predator.

"What a waste..."

Kwon Taek Joo raised his head when Zhenya suddenly muttered to himself. The two people's eyes met again. That look was persistent and oppressive as soon as he received it, but now it's hard to avoid it. The two of them kept looking at each other as if they were having a duel, then Zhenya suddenly bent down so that their faces were only half an inch apart. He squinted his eyes, looked into Kwon Taek Joo's eyes and chuckled.

"It's his butt, attaching it to a man is such a waste."

That damn beak can't be obedient. Kwon Taek Joo picked up a birch branch and hit Zhenya in the face. Drops of water on tree branches splashed. Zhenya did not react to that backlash but just quietly raised his eyes to look at Kwon Taek Joo.

Droplets of water from his hair fell to the floor. The mouth that had just opened was now tightly closed. Kwon Taek Joo thought, "It's over."

Zhenya's eyes blinked strangely. The moment he felt danger was also the moment his wrist was grabbed tightly. Kwon Taek Joo has no time to cope. In a split second, his arm was bent backwards and his face hit the wall. With that sound, his vision began to rotate. Zhenya pressed his heavy body against Kwon Taek Joo and quietly breathed into his ear. The towel fell because of the struggle.

You missed it. Zhenya's suddenly cold face was still like a dark afterimage passing through his mind. Kwon Taek Joo tried to twist the arm that was being grabbed, but he could not overcome this man's terrible grip, it had been like that before, and it was the same now.

Zhenya didn't say anything for a while. He just adjusted his breathing and kept looking down at Kwon Taek Joo. His gaze moved back and forth between the straight nape and strong wrist as if measuring where he should hit first. 

Then suddenly Kwon Taek Joo's wrist twisted harder. With self-defense instinct, his whole body tensed up, causing his thighs and buttocks to naturally shrink. Zhenya's gaze slowly slid down his wet spine and stopped at the curve of his buttocks. His slim waist makes his round buttocks look especially outstanding. The plump flesh was even shiny from sweat. Soon, the madness in Zhenya's eyes disappeared and was replaced by a secret desire.

Zhenya without hesitation reached out towards Kwon Taek Joo's butt. He could have grabbed it immediately, but for some reason his hand moved slowly. Zhenya's fingertips were finally about to touch Kwon Taek Joo's puffy ass. Kwon Taek Joo, who had been silent for a long time, shifted his weight back to throw Zhenya away. He grabbed his wrist tightly and threw it away immediately.

Zhenya fell helplessly before the sudden attack. His temporary laxity created an opportunity for Kwon Taek Joo. In an instant, the person who was being thrown back became a generouscolleague again. He picked up the towel that had fallen next to him and wrapped it around his neck.

"Are you going to call your mother?"

Zhenya smiled teasingly when Kwon Taek Joo instead walked out of Banya. He replied with an equally sarcastic tone.

"Yes. I'll tell her to scold you."

Kwon Taek Joo raised his middle finger then left Banya and closed the door. A cheerful laugh rang out from inside. Mad. What's so funny about laughing? He shook his head and headed towards the dressing room.

But after a few steps he stopped. Kwon Taek Joo raised his hand and placed it on his left chest, where his heart was beating so hard it was hard to breathe. I don't know when he had goosebumps all over his body.

This time is really dangerous. If Zhenya hadn't been distracted midway, something on his body would have broken. He is not a generous great man who can tolerate others just because the other person is a partner. If he feels uncomfortable, he will destroy anyone without the slightest hesitation.

Kwon Taek Joo clenched his trembling hands into fists. This was an emotion he had never experienced in his life. One cannot understand what fear is until one faces it. So is Kwon Taek Joo. 

Perhaps this campaign should end as soon as possible. Completing the mission and cutting off Zhenya would be the only way for him to escape these unfamiliar emotions. 2.4 Twilight: Package of Korean spicy ramen No matter how you look at it, this is a crazy action. Kwon Taek Joo was thinking endlessly one early morning on the shore of a snowy lake. The weather wasn't nice and the surroundings were covered in snow, making it impossible for him to tell where was what, but Kwon Taek Joo still decided to go cycling before the meal. If he puts his foot in the wrong place, there's a chance his knee will immediately buckle and be unable to move. Skiing might be a lot easier at this rate, because at least in the eyes of others he wouldn't look like a crazy person.

Kwon Taek Joo grumbled for a while then a large hill appeared right before his eves. Only when he gets there can he see the mansion where Hong Yeo Wook lives. He regained his composure and pressed his foot hard on the stiff pedal. Kwon Taek Joo climbed the steep slope. It took him a long time to reach the top of the slope after the wheel continuously rolled and slid several times. He took a deep breath and considered the situation inside the villa.

There was no trace of people coming or going, perhaps it had been completely wiped out by the overnight snowfall.

Kwon Taek Joo turned the lens leg out. A small mechanical sound rang out along with the vision becoming three dimensional. It is a special device that can see through buildings or structures. He manipulated the tripod a little more and pulled the zoom to maximum.

The mansion reminds people of a fortress. The chimney is designed to connect to the basement rather than the roof, so that steam can escape through the ground. There were a lot of windows but it was too narrow for one person to get in or out. The water supply and drainage system also faces the cliff. It seemed that to break into it one would have to climb up an upside-down cliff while fighting strong winds. An act tantamount to suicide. In short, the only entrance is the main gate.

Kwon Taek Joo suddenly pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and bit it into his mouth. 

Even though he didn't light it, the tip of the cigarette burned red. Immediately. The wind speed and direction at the point where Kwon Taek Joo is standing are displayed on the glass screen by year, quarter, month and day. Although it took him a while to accept this fact, it seemed impossible to break in from the roof by helicopter or parachute.

All the methods Kwon Taek Joo could think of were in vain. But it's not like there's no gain.

After seeing with his own eyes the solidity of the ancient mansion, his suspicions became almost certain. What are they hiding that they have to build such a defensive barrier?

A satisfied smile spread on Kwon Taek Joo's lips. The more something is hidden, the higher its value. He observed the mansion for a while longer and then quickly walked down the hill.

——

"I'm so bored."Kwon Taek Joo ate breakfast as soon as he returned to the motel. He munched on Pelmeni and felt like he was chewing rubber. After enduring the freezing cold outside for a long time, the only reward he received was a bowl of Pelmeni. It's warm anyway, so shouldn't you feel a little comforted? Even if the menu changes, it doesn't seem to be very appetizing.

Anyway, it's just lamb, herring, cabbage or potatoes. Foods that are delicious when eaten occasionally, but eaten every day will definitely be boring. Now just smelling it makes me feel like I've eaten it. But he was constantly hungry, so things became even more difficult.

Kwon Taek Joo really craves warm and spicy soup. He rummaged through the spice cabinet but couldn't find anything similar to chili powder. I'm so tired. Kwon Taek Joo was so hungry that his stomach hurt but he didn't want to eat anything.

He rested his chin on his arm and sighed heavily. Kwon Taek Joo had just taken a hot bath so his hair was still curly, and he was naked with only a pair of underwear. He was covered with a blanket and struggling with the Pelmeni.

Zhenya walked into the kitchen. Kwon Taek Joo didn't turn to look at him and just stabbed his fork into a piece of Pelmeni.

"It's still quiet. No special characters have appeared."

He reported forcefully. Zhenya also did not respond, only something rustled in front of the stove. Kwon Taek Joo accidentally turned his head to look and suddenly opened his eyes wide, because what he was holding was none other than Korean spicy ramen noodles. Just looking at the packaging makes my mouth water. 

Kwon Taek Joo couldn't take his eyes off the ramen package, Zhenya gently held it up. His eyes rolled with it. Even as he tossed it from one hand to the other, his eyes still restlessly followed. Zhenya's lips drew a long curve.

"I heard Koreans would die from just one of these things. Is that true?"

"Where did you get it?"

"I got it from the landlord. A Korean who used to stay here gave it to him."

In the eyes of the motel owner, does Zhenya look more Korean than Kwon Taek Joo himself?

Why did he suddenly give that precious thing to that guy without even saying a word to me?

He just stared at the ramen package and blamed the stupid landlord.

Kwon Taek Joo unconsciously reached out his hand. A corner of the ramen package touched his finger and made a rustling sound. As if it was some kind of signal, he suddenly reached out and aimed at the ramen package. He didn't even care that the blanket had fallen off his shoulders.

It would have been nice if Zhenya had known how to feign defeat, but he avoided it by raising the ramen packet higher. Kwon Taek Joo jumped without hesitation, his hands waving continuously as if he were blocking a ball.But that wasn't enough for Zhenya, he raised his hands and dodged here and there.

However, Kwon Taek Joo did not surrender easily. He jumped up many times, trying to catch the ramen package, but Zhenya still flexibly avoided him.

"I guess Korean's can die from this."

At this point, Kwon Taek Joo also stopped attacking. He calmly smoothed his messy curly hair, took a deep breath and confidently made his request.

"Give it here."

"I can't just give it away."

It's really amazing to say. Is he any different from the devil? Kwon Taek Joo was not satisfied but still secretly asked.

"So what do you want?"

"Nothing special, depends on your attitude."

Zhenya spoke half-heartedly, then held the phone in one hand, the ramen package in the other, and read the cooking instructions. It seemed like he was trying to translate Korean using a translation app.

Soon, a small pot of water was placed on the stove. Zhenya meticulously adjusted the fire and then stood with his arms crossed. 

Now Kwon Taek Joo's eyes were glued to the pot. Saliva oozed out from both ends of his chin. He was about to drool at any moment like a hungry puppy. Even so, he couldn't take Zhenya's bait. I wonder what evil request he will make. While he was still hesitating, the water began to boil.

Zhenya put the soup powder into a pot of boiling water. The pungent scent begins to stimulate olfactory cells. Kwon Taek Joo pretended not to care and returned to his seat, continuing to dig into the cold Pelmeni. Maybe the brain can cause temporary hallucinations and you can trick your tongue with smell. He was so optimistic that he put a piece of Pelmeni into his mouth but only felt the greasy taste spreading, as if mocking his humble expectations.

Meanwhile, Zhenya finished cooking the ramen and placed it on the table. Kwon Taek Joo's eves quietly followed that image. That thing is not a drug. Just eating one bite is probably enough to comfort his stomach. The moment the Korean spicy taste touches the tip of the tongue, even this accumulated feeling of fatigue seems to disappear.

He stealthily placed his fork on the edge of the pot. But Zhenya quickly pulled the pot away and Kwon Taek Joo's fork was thrown away. He tried again but it didn't help either. Zhenya continued to pull the pot away every time Kwon Taek Joo approached. He couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly gave an unreasonable warning."If you don't eat it right away, it will get cold."

"What is the matter?"

Yeah, no problem. Bastard. The hand holding the fork trembled, His unprecedented appetite quickly became boiling and everything before his eyes began to spin. His vision also became blurry. If you don't eat it now, you don't know when you'll be able to taste it again. Maybe Kwon Taek Joo was just thinking too much, Zhenya's request might be simpler than he thought. At least listen to him talk first.

While he was thinking, the ramen soup gradually decreased. It seemed like he had to eat it immediately to survive. The fragile thread of reason is gradually breaking. Kwon Taek Joo immediately stood up and picked up the pot. Then he drank the soup as if it were the water of life. His neck moved up and down vigorously. As soon as the spicy soup touched the tip of his tongue, his eyes seemed to light up, his nose cleared and his ears seemed to open. It seemed like his stomach full of butter and fat was released instantly. 

Zhenya leisurely walked behind Kwon Taek Joo. He was too busy eating noodles so he didn't notice his approach. Zhenya lowered his eyes and slowly scanned Kwon Taek Joo's neck to his shoulders. He looked at the straight back, the smooth waist, the protruding buttocks and the legs stretched out below as if he wanted to lick it, then commanded in a low voice.

"Do not move."

Zegna's fingertips touched the back of his thigh. It was a gentle touch, as if to brush away dust that was clinging to it. His earnest eyes followed each fingertip. The blue eyes didn't blink for even a second, seemingly not wanting to miss anything. Even his breathing was suppressed.

The next moment, his thighs were squeezed tightly, as Zhenya, who was gently massaging Kwon Taek Joo's skin, suddenly grabbed his thighs. Kwon Taek Joo looked back with an annoyed expression, then focused on eating the noodles again. He had expected Zhenya to make a rather mischievous request, but this was acceptable.

But that was an extremely reckless thought, because Zhenya's fingers were slowly pushing the panties up and poking inside. The hand massaging his thigh quietly caressed the curve of his buttocks.

His eyes, which were cold as ice, were now wet with enthusiasm. The man massaged the plump flesh so much that it slipped through his fingers. As if that alone wasn't enough to satisfy him, he also made a brazen request.

"Brace yourself a little."

What is this?

Kwon Taek Joo was about to frown and protest. Suddenly, a sharp sound rang out on the location tracking screen. He put down the ramen pot and checked the target's condition. Sureenough, the red dot disappeared from the coordinates. This means that the location tracking device in Hong Yeo Wook's stomach was somehow expelled.

He brought the device in his hand to Zhenya's chest.

"You look satisfied."

No response from Zhenya. He didn't even quickly take back the location tracking device and just looked down at his hand. What is that regretful expression?

Kwon Taek Joo laughed and patted his shoulder.

"Thanks to you. I ate well."

Kwon Taek Joo doesn't miss the opportunity to tease. He wrapped the blanket that fell on the floor around his shoulders and left the kitchen. The new pot was empty.

Zegna stood stunned for a moment then burst out laughing helplessly. 

In the evening, Zhenya went to scout the mansion's movements. There was no one around so Kwon Taek Joo breathed a sigh of relief. He lay down on the bed and enjoyed the rest he was granted after such a long time. Both physically and mentally he felt comfortable. As expected, Kwon Taek Joo himself seems only suitable for solo missions. Looking back, he received a lot of help from Zhenya. But it's better not to have a partner like him who specializes in causing more harm than good.

Somewhere suddenly vibrated. Kwon Taek Joo out of habit took out his phone but it was just silent. It was the device that Zhenya gave him from the beginning, so no one other than him knew how to contact him. If it wasn't Kwon Taek Joo's phone, could Zhenya have left it behind before going out? It may also not be an important contact. And it's also possible that he mistook the sound of the wind instead of the vibration.

Even after predicting other possibilities, Kwon Taek Joo still did not hesitate to get off the bunk bed to find the source of the vibration. He tried liftingZhenya's bed sheet. A phone fell out from under the pillow. As expected, a new message arrived. As soon as I tried to check the content, the lock function was activated. He relied on luck to try the Zhenya password he used in the armory. The lock on the phone was lifted as a joke.

"..."

But then suddenly he hesitated for no reason. It's embarrassing to arbitrarily look at other people's phones. Kwon Taek Joo's life principle is not to interfere in other people's affairs. Is it necessary to check this message to violate that? Maybe it was an extremely private communication that had nothing to do with Kwon Taek Joo himself. No, isn't this an opportunity to confirm Zhenya's true nature? Two streams of thoughts were in sharp contrast in his mind.

Kwon Taek Joo turned on his laptop and connected it to his cell phone. It will take a while longer for Zhenya to return. He didn't want to do something like this, but he needed tostrengthen his faith in Zhenya'. What exactly is he doing? Did he really participate in this strategy just to get the blueprints like he said? And who is close to him? It seems like Kwon Taek Joo can only escape suspicion and be wary of Zhenya when he knows everything. 

He plugged the USB into the computer slot. It was one of the few belongings he had brought with him since the hotel exploded. It is specially manufactured to withstand most shocks and humidity, but it is unknown if it will still function properly. In a restless mood, Kwon Taek Joo scrolled through the list of files on the storage device. Luckily, the hacking program on the computer still works well.

He ran the program and downloaded all the files on Zhenya's phone. When a specific command is entered, all information is displayed at once. Even files that have been arbitrarily deleted or changed can be restored without any problems. Immediately, Kwon Taek Joo disconnected the cell phone from the computer and returned it to its original location. The unopened message icon still floats on the phone screen. It is almost impossible to find any traces of hacking at all.

Kwon Taek Joo checked the most recent message among the messages uploaded to the computer. It was a long MMS message.

"The SS-29 defect has finally been resolved. We are currently conducting additional testing to see if there are any other defects. Final results will be announced two days later with everyone present. Please come on this occasion."

Such a surprise. SS-29. Kwon Taek Joo knew that the weapon had a problem and that problem would be resolved soon. But it's unclear why that message was sent to Zhenya.

According to the content of the message, those who received the message were involved in the development of 'SS-29. Doesn't Zhenya have nothing to do with it?

"You're doing something pointless."

Kwon Taek Joo was startled by a sudden voice. I don't know when Zhenya was standing in the doorway. A chill suddenly ran down his spine, and the back of his head tightened. When did he come back? He couldn't feel Zhenya's presence. Not because Kwon Taek Joo's senses are not quick, but because he is no different from a ghost. Therefore, hacking into his phone was discovered.

"If you ask, I'll show you."

Kwon Taek Joo was surprised by his extremely calm voice. He was originally a shameless person, but right now he was in no position to act like that.

"What is this about?"

"I stole it."

"What are you talking about?""Do you remember when I came to the Bogdanov mansion, I met woman named Olga? 

Before we broke up, she asked for my phone number. By the way, when I entered the number into the phone, I also set it up. a cute application into it. It is different from regular hacking or virus programs. Even an expert cannot know something like that has been installed and it will spread naturally to other recipients through text messages. Fortunately, it seems that Olga is still in regular contact with her family, right? You can see all the messages coming and going from Bogdanov's phone."

Zhenya explained as he took out his phone. He even entered the password himself and threw it to Kwon Taek Joo. He hesitantly looked at him then turned his eyes to the phone. Just as Zhenya had just said, all the messages exchanged between members of the Bogdanov family and others were piled up. Additionally, all personal information, including past call records, contact information, photo albums, notebooks, and schedules, are stored in folders. Looks like he really hacked the Bogdanovs.

"These days, things like that have also become weapons. They sell better than big. heavy pieces of iron."

The era of armed war is over. Countries around the world continue to develop weapons and increase firepower, but most of them are only conceptual. The means of power dispute between nations has also been replaced by intelligence information. These days, where information dominance and secrecy matter most, Zhenya's hacking program is highly commendable. Taking the Bogdanov family as the first experimental subjects is also worthy of praise. However, the question is not yet completely resolved.

"That's okay. Everything's fine. But why did you hide such a good thing? If I hadn't found out first, would you have pretended not to know until the end?"

"I have no intention of sharing my business plan just because we're collaborating for a moment."

Zhenya sarcastically. His lips also drew a curve. The next words seemed especially fishy.

"Did you ever consider me a colleague in the first place?"

Despite such criticism, Kwon Taek Joo has nothing to justify. because Zhenya's conjectures are completely correct. He usually didn't consider him a colleague so it was unreasonable to think thatZhenya was betraying him because he didn't share important information like this. 

After all, Zhenya is also a sharp person. There's no reason he didn't know that Kwon Taek Joo didn't trust him. Even so,I didn't think he would criticize me so bluntly. Things had reached their climax and he lost the motivation to push him further.

Kwon Taek Joo returned the phone with a depressed expression. He was about to close the laptop, but Zhenya stopped his hand, then leaned over and looked at the screen. His head hovered near Kwon Taek Joo's shoulder. Suddenly he felt restless for no reason, as if he had just exposed his neck to a dangerous animal, He gently turned his head to the side. The person who checked all the copied files laughed. A ticklish breath blew against his neck."Even though it's only temporary, I'm still a colleague. I was even hacked. Can I trust you?"

Zhenya is teasing Kwon Taek Joo as much as possible. His naked eyes looked at his cheeks and temples. Kwon Taek Joo does not necessarily have to justify nor apologize. All he had to do was turn off the running hacking program and turn off the laptop Zhenya's continues.

"If I treat you coldly. you'll be hurt too, right?"

What the hell.

There are many levels to describe bullshit, but it's truly impossible to describe his absurdity.

Kwon Taek Joo gave up trying to react. Now is the time to focus on work. Luckily, the two of you had received information that the problem with 'SS-29' had been resolved, so it seemed like you needed to take action seriously. The problem is that he still hasn't found a way to break into the mansion.

"They're about to gather here, wouldn't it be easier if we broke in before them?"

"That's probably it."

Zhenya nodded absentmindedly.

"When would be a good time? Tonight? Tomorrow morning? Or should we rest a bit until the afternoon and then go?"

Anyone looking at him would have thought he was planning to go for a walk. Kwon Taek Joo asked again.

"Why is that so easy for you, you bastard? Everywhere you look, there are no corners to crawl into."

"That's because I'm just trying to find a way to get in like a mouse. Just enter through the main gate."

Kwon Taek Joo couldn't even laugh. Just go there and ring the bell and they will open the door to let you in.

"Easy for you to say? So how?"

"Just take advantage of my plan in reverse and you're done."

"Against my plan?" 

"The hacking app I checked just now isn't on the market yet. Not many people think that such a thing really exists. Most of the weapons being traded right now are iron bars used for fighting" and destroying objects. This is the time to raise awareness. Think about it. Like avirus, it exists in the host's body and spreads naturally without leaving any trace, stealing everything information from infected people in real time. Who wouldn't be tempted by such a product?"

So he's trying to make a fake transaction using that hacking app, and officially visit the mansion like an arms dealer? There is definitely a chance of winning. Just looking at the person in charge of 'SS-29' maintenance, the owner of the mansion must be very interested in weapons.

"But what if that side doesn't respond to our proposal? Aren't they busy preparing to welcome guests right now?"

"That could be the case. But if it's suggested that this is a program jointly developed by the US and Korea, they'll give it a try"

"Why are you so sure? There's no way they can easily trust us. In military goods transactions, trust is life."

"I'm here, what's the problem?"

"It seems you forgot, but I am also a famous businessman in this business field. No one doubts the products I introduce."

"You're so confident, it seems like everything is certain, right? Are you okay? There could be a big loss. You will have to announce a product that you had no intention of revealing before." highway."

"There is no greater loss than not having Anastasia."

If that's what Zhenya thinks then Kwon Taek Joo has no reason to refuse. In a situation where all intrusion routes are blocked, it is difficult to find a better method.

Zhenya, which operates in the arms smuggling market, introduced Kwon Taek Joo, a former member of the Korean intelligence agency. Kwon Taek Joo introduced the hacking application just now as a collaborative product between Korea and the US. If he can attract the other person's attention, he can easily step into a mansion as solid as a fortress.

Unforeseen problems may arise once inside, but it is not too late to resolve them.

"Sergei Ilyavich Bogdanov. The owner of the mansion. He is a distant relative of Vissarion."

Zhenya showed a photo of a middle-aged man. He seems to be quite a famous person in Russia, to the extent that information about him can be found from the Internet. 

"He is very interested in weapons. Especially if it is made in America, he will fall in love at first sight."

Probably a weapon fanatic. This is a good omen.
