Tensegrity - CH 36
An anecdote about how the VIPs harassed people who offended them in a movie crossed Jun-Kyung’s mind.
Civil lawsuits that continue until death are normal. They mobilize all kinds of connections to interfere with employment. No matter where you start a business, it is not uncommon for businesses to go bankrupt.
If someone get caught wrongly by a VIP whose pride is more important than money, that person will end their life by suicide. How much less is the level of small business owners compared to large building owners? What if such a person is picked by the Executive Director of one of the top five conglomerates? Jun-Kyung can’t pick bones with them.
If he was told to go to sleep, he can only go to sleep. The option of not preparing for bed will only hurt Director Min’s feelings.
“It’s late, so let’s rest.” Executive Director Min took Jun-Kyung to the bedroom on the second floor.
Jun-Kyung stood in front of a big bed while panicking about the situation of being escorted by a VIP.
“Don’t sleep on the sofa, sleep here. This is the bed we will use together in the future.”
“Yes.”
Jun-Kyung has already experienced bed sharing twice. Instead of getting used to it, he was terrified. Didn’t Jun-Kyung just hear what they are going to do here? Jun-Kyung falter back.
“How about dinner, Director Min?”
“Hyun-Seung.”
Executive Director Min, who had finished untying his tie, corrected it with a firm tone.
“I’m sorry… ah… haha, Hyun-seung, did you have dinner? I saved a packed lunch.”
“I had a simple meal at work.”
“I see.”
Jun-Kyung wanted to get out of the bedroom somehow, but Executive Director Min was at the door. In addition, he was taking off his clothes casually. The vest and tie were thrown at the feet of the bed. That’s it.
“Clothes, I’ll hang them up.”
Jun-Kyung quickly grabbed the vest and tie and ran to the dressing room. He carefully hung them on a hanger so as not to ruin expensive clothes, made sure there were no stains on the tie, and rolled it up and put it in the tie drawer.
As he straightened his bent back, he leaned on the chest of drawers and closed his eyes.
“Ha, I’m going crazy.”
“What?” A heavy voice was heard from behind.
He was so surprised that he jumped. Balance is something he loses every time, and Jun-Kyung is caught in the arms of Executive Director Min like laundry. If he’s going to fall apart because he got surprised, why did he do judo for 10 years?
“Are you okay?” Director Min asked with a puzzled expression.
“Oh, yes.”
“Junkyung, you have a talent for surprising people in many ways.”
“haha.”
He can’t object. This is rare. It’s because he doesn’t get along with Executive Director Min so much. It’s not his fault, but it’s not Director Min’s fault either. It’s not like he can comfortably argue saying, ‘It’s because of you.’ In any case, only Jun-kyung was work-up.
Executive Director Min breathed a low sigh. He took off his shirt and trousers and placed them on the chest of drawers in the middle of the dressing room. When Jun-Kyung held out his hand, Executive Director Min stopped him.
“Leave it. I’ll clean it up later.”
“Ok.”
Jun-kyung tried to leave the dressing room.
Instead of making room for Jun-Kyung at the entrance, Executive Director Hyun-Seung Min suddenly took off his socks and underwear.
Ugh!
Jun-Kyung let out an inner scream and threw his gaze to the ceiling. The reason he didn’t bow down was because he didn’t want to see the state of nature by mistake.
Please hurry up.Why are you doing this all of a sudden?
By the invisible power of Executive Director Min, Jun-Kyung gradually retreated back. He reached the hangar but had nowhere to retreat.
“Before the ceremony … something like this…”
These days, even high school students would laugh at him for being tacky and old-fashioned. Jun-Kyung’s ears were on fire, and he was about to explode.
Unconsciously, he groped and caught something thin and hard. It was a tool for removing hung clothes. A hard iron bar has a heavy wooden hook at the end.
It was perfect for a weapon.
Just as Jun-Kyung was fixing it like a baseball bat, Executive Director Min headed towards the entrance of the dress room.
“I can guess what you are thinking. I am not doing it with a pregnant person, so put it down.”
“If you say something like that naked, how can I believe it?”
“Then do you wear clothes in the shower?”
A look of ridicule was reflected in the eyes of the opponent who looked back slightly. Director Min also snorted a little. Soon after he left the dressing room, there was the sound of running water.
‘Is that a trap?’
Instead of letting go of the rod, Jun-Kyung squeezed it tightly and carefully left the dressing room. Like a spy movie, he leaned against the wall, hid himself and looked at the outside world.
The bedroom has only a huge bed, a small table, and a wooden decoration stand for a TV. There was not enough space for a huge man who’s nearly 2m tall.
Jun-Kyung slightly opened the bathroom door that leads directly from the entrance to the dressing room.
The hot moisture hit him. The door was facing the sink, and the shower and bathtub was again facing the sink from the other side. They were in line with the door.
If the bathroom was small, he could immediately see it, but it was not a structure that could be seen directly from the door because it was large and there was a sink wall that was placed in the middle. Jun-Kyung put his head further and tilted his upper body slightly inward.
“Do you have anything to say?” All of a sudden, Executive Director Min spoke up.
“Ugh!”
Jun-Kyung thought Director Min wouldn’t be able to notice because Jun-Kyung held his breath. Did he feel the cold wind? It’s not even the entrance to the public bath. It’s not easy to feel the cold wind in the shower room at home.
How did he know? Since Jun-Kyung can’t see him from here, of course he can’t see here either from the other side.
“Mirror.”
Executive Director Min, who caught his heart like a ghost, gave the answer. At that moment, Junkyung found the mirror installed above the sink. Director Min, who was wet with water, was looking straight at Jun-kyung through the mirror.
‘You pathetic idiot! How can you not notice a mirror that big.’
“If it’s not urgent, we can talk after shower.”
“Yes.”
Jun-Kyung quietly retreated. The stick he was holding was placed in the dressing room on the way. A new problem arose. He has to come up with an excuse for entering the bathroom.
Before the idea came to mind, Executive Director Min came out of the bathroom first. Fortunately, this time, there was a towel wrapped around his waist. Director Min’s sharp eyes, which were rubbing his eyes with a small towel, caught Jun-Kyung’s gaze, and then headed towards the dressing room. Although it was only for a moment, he felt cold.
Director Min came out in pajamas, approached the bed rubbing his dry hair with a towel.
“Put clothes and towels that need washing in the bathroom clothes basket. The housekeeper will come and take care of it on Monday and Thursday.”
“Yes.”
“The hospital is going to recommend nutritionists and nurses, but they said it would take some time. The driver and bodyguard will come here tomorrow.”
“No, you don’t have to. I was a little clumsy, but I won’t be in the future. You don’t have to bother with it.”
Jun-Kyung is still flustered being here and now there’s going to be a nurse, nutritionists, and guards. It’s like having a watchman around.
“There must be a better reason.”
As expected, it’s not easy.
“Since I have exercise experience, I tend to control my diet well. Even if a nutritionist does not come, the hospital can make a meal plan and implement it as it is. It’s not because of old age or disability, so there’s no need for a nurse to come. If you make an appointment at a designated hospital, I will visit them regularly for check-ups.”
“I don’t really believe it.”
Director Min’s wet hair or pajamas with shorter arms and legs length, did not dilute his menacing charisma in the slightest. On the contrary, it was even more terrifying by adding bizarreness. He looks like a killer with short hair, famous for his unusual appearance.
Jun-Kyung rolled his brain as much as he could, feeling like he was really dealing with a killer. Shall he appeal for another chance? No. It would backfire because he said he hated being the boss at work….. ah! There is a way.
“Didn’t you say you want an equal marital relationship?”
Director Min’s eyes looking at Jun-Kyung became sharp.
“I am not a well-known person, nor am I doing anything important. Originally, I specialized in bodyguards and attendants. I am confident that I can take care of myself.”
“Is that so? Not as far as I know.”
It seemed like there would be a voice saying that he nearly drowned in the swimming pool, so Jun-Kyung quickly spoke before Executive Director Min stopped him.
“I’ve been messing around with a lot of things, but I don’t usually do it. In fact, for an ordinary person like me, it would be a bit frustrating rather than comfortable if bodyguards or other employees follow me one after another. Honestly…”
Jun-Kyung carefully chose his words. “Oh, I don’t know. It’s like surveillance”.
The opponent had the same expressionless face throughout.
“It’s too much to keep an eye on each other between husbands and wives. Just being with Hyun-Seung makes me nervous, but honestly, I’m worried about what I’ll do if someone I don’t know follows me when I make mistakes I don’t usually make. There is a lot of stress while preparing for the wedding… and the hospital emphasized psychological stability.”
Jun-Kyung continues to add, “If you attach surveillance, more accidents will happen in the future, and if you attach people like that, something may happen under stress”.
In response to a subtle protest, Executive Director Min eventually withdrew.
“All right. Let the bodyguards quit. A nutritionist changes to regular counseling. But after consulting with the nurse at the hospital, we will discuss again.”
Jun-Kyung, who was heading to hell, felt as if he were flying into the sky in an instant. Suddenly, the corners of his lips rose upwards. While he was relieved, he couldn’t hide his joy and said to Executive Director Min.
“Thank you!” he said loudly. Jun-Kyung tried to bow his head but barely stopped halfway.
Unlike Jun-kyung, who was smirking, Executive Director Min frowned slightly.
“If you are so grateful, how about repaying it?”
