“I’m sorry.”
Son Gil-seop bowed his head even deeper and left the room.
As soon as the door closed, Park Chan-mun shoved Son Gil-seop against the wall and said.
“You bastard, you completely screwed me over.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Is this something that ends with an ‘I’m sorry’?
I trusted your report and directly reported to the Director that he was a big shot.
But what happens to my face when he finds out he’s just a con artist!”
“I should have checked thoroughly, but time was so tight…”
“Shut up.”
Son Gil-seop, who had been making excuses, hurriedly shut his mouth at Park Chan-mun’s furious shout.
Anyway, it was his fault.
Park Chan-mun was in his 5th year as a section chief and was struggling for a promotion.
Park Chan-mun, who had completely kicked the air, growled and said.
“The deputy director let it slide without saying anything, but not I.
Someone has to take responsibility for this.”
“Section chief.”
“They’re the guys you brought in, so you take responsibility.”
“…”
“Report to Department 5 starting tomorrow.
Consider yourself lucky you didn’t get fired.”
Son Gil-seop’s face contorted severely as he was left behind by Park Chan-mun, who spoke as if giving notice and walked away.
Department 5, which handled matters related to North Korean defectors, was the most dead-end job, a place where agents nearing retirement went to kill time.
When Son Gil-seop went inside, Oh Gap-su, who was sitting in a chair with his legs propped up on the desk, asked in his usual cocky tone.
“Did the talk end well?”
“You bastard.
Just die.”
The angry Son Gil-seop tried to lunge at him, but he couldn’t reach him.
Before he knew it, Jo Cheol-jung was blocking his path.
“Get out of the way.”
“Come on, brother, no matter how angry you are, shouldn’t you use your words?”
At Oh Gap-su’s sarcasm coming from behind, even Son Gil-seop, who was known for being a good-natured person, couldn’t hold back his anger any longer.
However, he was no match for Jo Cheol-jung.
His attacks were blocked every time and all came to nothing.
In the end, Son Gil-seop soon exhausted himself and was just panting for breath.
“You two, I won’t let you get away with this.”
“Brother.
Isn’t this place being recorded by CCTV?”
“…”
“I heard that in South Korea, even criminals can’t be treated recklessly, so you should treat guests who came all this way like gentlemen.
This could cause problems later.”
