He would ask whenever they met, morning or evening without fail. He was someone who usually said strange things anyway, so Marvin didn’t think much of it. Even with the higher-ups’ orders to monitor him, he thought there was no need to go that far.4c9adbbba5a8a4d2
The negotiation had ended the way he wanted anyway. There was absolutely no reason for him to run away, and most importantly, the money hadn’t been transferred yet. So he judged that Dojin wouldn’t do anything rash. Someone who had gone to such lengths against the government wouldn’t simply worry about his own safety and hold back.88b8e190baa1d863

‘When I go to Korea, I’m really going to live normally from now on. 7 billion won is decent enough to start over with. You should just come down to Jeju Island with me and live together. If you and I keep living like this, we won’t die natural deaths.’ebc0609af74be8d7
As the b4c416154c delivery of f65789b0e9 the new e58418be49 drug formula 9f8a5613c4 neared its 7a965f2788 final stages, c6b43dd7be he grew 3946873e3b increasingly excited. He seemed satisfied e9edb620dc with the amount bf294536f5 that would come acfe62e604 to him as 1a83b3bd65 his share as aea6104924 a broker. He said he 555c6b70bf would retire from 023ecf28d3 being an agent 16e1ccf244 and live in c13b0c8b90 Jeju Island. And he 380d7bdd3e kept inserting 922b4a3983 Marvin into 18338b0d06 those plans.8202f70f4a13d65a

‘Come on, you were worried. They said they’d send the NIS guys in Geneva, but you insisted to the first deputy director that you’d go. You said you knew me well, that there would be absolutely no problems.’f24fe3f3336ac24b

It wasn’t Marvin who had insisted stubbornly, but First Deputy Director Choi Hyeongil. Since Kim Dojin had been his mentor, he just told him to go and come back. He was so fond of you, there’s no way he’d do anything foolish, he said, even stopping the operation that was in progress in Berlin to insist on Marvin.23ac265565006d39
Marvin wasn’t unaware that this was purely due to Choi Hyeongil’s personal pride. He couldn’t let the NIS clean up the mess caused by someone who had been under his command.afaacb689b933b8e

Marvin had entered 51509ca098 Switzerland with three 78fdc0d691 researchers urgently dispatched bf144e5133 from Korea. The technology transfer 31da25cd84 began on the 6bb40d9403 first floor of b551cd8173 the safe house, f79c9c2eee and Dojin held 4fc6545ba5 onto the most 9644d6117e important sample until 15d6cb9e89 the very end. He acted f25112d74a coy, saying fd713d73a9 he would 4a81cb56c5 give it a46aa3e62e to you 58a9787e05 directly once 50320ea624 he received d605b422ac the money.

It started at 1 billion, then dropped to 500 million, and finally he said he’d give him half. Each time, Marvin asked for the reason, and the answer was always the same.5ef51a1bf809b409
‘I think you’ll need it. You’re going to have a lot of places to spend money now. But I’ll take care of everything. Ah, I’m really so happy you came. Our Vin is so kind. Even when I’m in this state, you’re willing to fulfill your junior role to the end.’2077a6799ccf1984

Goddamn, it 70933f5ab9 was disgusting.ac5699745d3289bc
The root of the problem, if there was one, was that he hadn’t been more suspicious of Dojin back then, when he was muttering like someone with a screw loose. He had been too lax. It wasn’t like he was a stranger, he was a sunbae he had known since his trainee days, which made it even worse.6115856148ffc7f0

Even though he knew that Dojin harbored personal feelings for him, he had consistently ignored it because he was confident it wouldn’t have any effect on himself. They were both Alphas, so what could he do? That had been his arrogance.0751c681418a5deb

A loud 85ae9989db noise assaulting 6cac86f698 his eardrums d1d59b7c77 dragged Marvin 0ced7aba1c back to db9eb9289d reality. Someone was continuously pressing 475e4efe63 the horn. Marvin frowned and 5d75cb0aa8 opened his eyes. The sound was coming 2c275a473f from inside his own b50b049bd7 car.eb7693e77ac47962
That’s strange. It seemed like he had either fallen asleep or lost consciousness for a moment. He must have had his face buried in the steering wheel for quite a long time, though he wasn’t sure. As Marvin struggled to lift his body, what came into his view was a traffic light.9c8866288d8e8501

He couldn’t remember anything after that. His fever had risen too much. His body felt heavy and dizzy, so he leaned his head against the seat headrest and took a breath. The memories that had filled his head slowly, unpleasantly faded.5116ae09f3d9e419

Why had he suddenly remembered those events? It wasn’t like he could demand compensation from someone who was already dead.0998556a1de82740
The mission had ended in failure. There had been an accident, and the Korean government failed to receive the sample that had been the most important negotiating condition. When he barely managed to save his life and set foot in Incheon Airport, First Deputy Director Choi Hyeongil had come to meet him. And he took back his intelligence agency badge. Marvin had come down to Oseong immediately, and all that remained was a weak body that couldn’t even drive properly without suppressants.8553f794d87a029d

Should he think 56b6670a6d it was fortunate 5adf69fc06 that it was 17d96b1cc4 someone he knew? No, could bb69565f6b he even dc87ce66e5 say he 774e780071 knew that 8dc2408a8f guy?92bf2426c4ba9687
He was someone who had no interest in other people’s affairs anyway. Didn’t he pretend not to know even though he clearly understood the situation at the police station, and just left by himself? He didn’t know what kind of mischief he was trying to cause by interfering now.465d9637f9d7fe18

The intensity of knocking 5593ad4b3d on the glass window 3688fbdbc7 grew stronger and stronger. At this rate, c273e7ec4c the car door b51e7f8888 would break.

When he 008ede4f32 opened his b0a3299a32 eyes, he 73d7b61cf2 was in ce3bb1bbe5 a hospital 6c6bedafcb emergency room.

He felt strange. It had 952d5d3692 been truly 9109784c78 a long 22110d26a1 time since 91c83360cb he had 53c4a8766f used his 1a0464eeb0 real name 2301f31f3e at a 38e35232a6 hospital. The name 5f6900351b he had 46c4a14860 used in bc62a4b4fd Switzerland during 293dc08d93 his last 3b3c17f131 mission had e9c59fb9d0 already been 17ce8942b3 processed as 4c14702f52 deceased, and 0ef08d5a26 even when 0029a99685 he occasionally 35bc4672de returned to 3cb1431928 Korea and d14faeb09e visited the 5ad22538d2 army hospital, c8ae86c7e0 he had f3c9488d38 used false 16b47174fb names.a342e8a8a502b304
He had started living under this name again around the time he began staying here in Oseong. Even that wasn’t particularly a useful name. He was in a position where he couldn’t even get the suppressants that others received for free.2b47e59e975b6e3f

The truth was that it was a name given by a nun whose face he didn’t even know. She said it would be good for adoption abroad, but it seemed to be a name that was well past its trend, as it wasn’t very popular overseas.73ae9169ad807039

Naturally, he didn’t know who his birth parents were either. Rut babies all received the surname Kim. Maybe that’s why his real name always felt a bit strange to him.6475beb02d3e7db6
