TTS Vol 1 Ch 4.2

Ah, she just closed and opened her eyes, but the world had completely changed. At least, inside the gaming hall it had. Everything was utterly unbelievable.

“Taeri.”

First, the fact that Park Chigyeong was standing right in front of her was unbelievable, his deep voice calling her name was unbelievable, and the strength in Park Chigyeong’s grip, which had knock down that giant of a man with a single slap, was also unbelievable.

“Even if your oppa is a prosecutor, what will become of my reputation if you’re working in an illegal gambling den like this?”

While listening to the same language, Taeri, and the gambling hall owner flinched at different words. Taeri at the word “older brother,” and the owner at the word “prosecutor.”

“Hey, w-wait, Kang Taeri! Who the hell is this guy? Huh? Oppa? Is this bastard your real older brother? Or your boyfriend? You said you didn’t have a boyfriend! You said you were an only child! Ah, shit. I think I lost a tooth.”

The owner, pathetically slumped on the floor, spat something onto his palm. It wasn’t a tooth, but a clot of blood. It had only been one slap, but the owner’s cheek was hideously swollen and bruised. Taeri could roughly gauge the man’s strength.

“Hey, man. Did you hit me just now? Do you wanna die?”

At the owner’s question, Park Chigyeong chuckled lightly.

He rummaged through his pocket, pulled out a cigarette pack, tapped the bottom to get a cigarette out, and put it in his mouth.

Tang! He flicked open his Zippo lighter and lit the cigarette between his lips. He deeply inhaled the smoke.

Then, bending at the waist, Park Chigyeong brought his eyes roughly level with the owner’s and whoosh, exhaled a long stream of smoke directly into his face. It was a deliberately provocative act.

“Mr. Jang Sang-in.”

“Who the hell are you? How do you know my name? Hey, Kang Taeri! What the fuck is going on here? Did you two plan this? Are you gangsters? What are you guys, dammit! What the hell are you doing?!”

The owner yelled, demanding an answer as he glared at Taeri. But Taeri couldn’t say a word, just swallowing hard with her fists clenched. She was more confused than anyone.

“Hey, Mr. Jang, where are you looking? You should be looking at me.”

Park Chigyeong, gripping the owner’s jaw as if to crush it, effortlessly dragged his gaze back to himself, as if he found the owner’s gaze on Taeri unpleasant.

“Mr. Jang Sang-in. I’m going to ask you a few questions. Keep your answers short, and your attitude sincere. Got it?”

With the hand that wasn’t holding the owner’s jaw, Park Chigyeong pulled out his prosecutor’s identification card and hung it around the owner’s neck. As soon as he saw the blue-strapped ID hanging card around his thick neck, the owner’s eyes filled with terror. At his pale face, Park Chigyeong smiled. It was a clear sneer.

“Mr. Jang. You recently took a four-night, five-day trip to China, right?”

Taeri’s eyes widened and trembled. Not only did Park Chigyeong know the owner’s name, he also seemed to know him quite well.

“Who did you meet in Guangzhou?”

“Ugh…”

“What? Who did you meet?”

Park Chigyeong repeated the question, but the owner couldn’t answer. Park Chigyeong’s grip prevented him from moving his lips. He could only groan, “Ugh,” feeling the terror that his jawbone might break at any moment.

Even so, Park Chigyeong showed no intention of loosening his grip. It was as if he didn’t need the owner’s answers from the beginning.

“You probably met Mr. Kim Yongho. Right?”

“Ugh…Dono… I dono…that person…” 

His pronunciation was slurred, but the owner seemed to be doing his best to deny knowing anyone named Kim Yong-ho. However, Park Chigyeong, as if he didn’t care in the slightest, continued speaking calmly while puffing on his cigarette.

“Mr. Kim Yongho was caught at Guangzhou Customs a few days ago trying to smuggle a new type of drug into Korea. You might not know this, but China immediately executes drug offenders, regardless of whether they’re foreigners or not. It seems Mr. Kim Yongho didn’t want to die in a foreign land, so he’s begging to be transferred to Korea… Ah, this is quite troublesome for us, too.”

With one hand gripping the owner’s jaw and the other holding a cigarette, Park Chigyeong looked every bit like a gangster, not a prosecutor.

“During that whole process, Kim Yongho readily ratted out his accomplices, and one of them is you, Mr. Jang Sang-in. That’s what I’m saying.”

“Ughhh…!”

The owner shook his head helplessly, trapped in Park Chigyeong’s grip. He seemed to have a lot to say, but Park Chigyeong didn’t give him a chance. He was subduing the owner in a way that made one wonder if a prosecutor was allowed to act like that.

“Mr. Jang Sang-in, do you admit to charges of drug possession and distribution?

“Ughhh… No! No!”

“I can’t understand what you’re saying at all. Anyway, the point is this. Mr. Jang Sang-in, you are under emergency arrest on the spot due to the significant possibility for escape and destruction of evidence.”

Park Chigyeong tightened his grip on the owner’s jaw and took out his phone. 

Cough, hack, the owner started gasping for air as if he were having trouble breathing.

Is he going to die like this?

That fear enveloped Taeri, but she couldn’t do anything to help. Like the owner, she also felt equally helpless.

“Detective Park, it’s me.”

Only Park Chigyeong, who seemed to reign supreme over everyone, remained calm and composed. The cigarette continued to burn between his fingers, and everything caught in his grip – the cigarette, the owner, all seemed utterly powerless.

“Come on in, now. From what I see, the connection to Kim Yong-ho is clear.”

“Ughhh!! Ughhh!! Ugh!”

The owner shook his head with all his might, his head shaking so violently that it made Taeri feel dizzy just watching. The owner looked at Taeri and mumbled something, “Ugh, ugh,” which probably meant, “Save me.” It also seemed like he was begging her to do something, but Taeri couldn’t move from her spot. She truly couldn’t move.

“This bastard’s doing it again.”

Noticing the owner’s gaze directed at Taeri, Park Chigyeong shoved his phone back into his pocket and roughly yanked the owner’s face back toward him.

“Mr. Jang Sang-in. I told you to look at me when I’m talking, you bastard.”

“So, what do you want?”

Tears rolled down the owner’s eyes. The owner, who looked like he could easily take down five men at once, was reduced to tears, unable to handle just one Park Chigyeong. He looked incredibly pathetic.

“Uuuh… I’m sowwy… I’m sowwy…!”

“You’re sorry?”

“Y-Yes! Yes!”

The owner nodded his head frantically, his tears spraying everywhere.

“So…”

Park Chigyeong lowered his gaze further, his voice sinister, and spoke towards the owner’s increasingly pathetic face.

“What kind of bullshit prank are you playing on someone else’s younger sister, you… fucking useless piece of shit.”

Could it be…?

Taeri’s pupils, which had been reflecting only Park Chigyeong’s overpowering presence in a daze, shook wildly like a small boat caught in a storm.

Something that had been stuck in her head, causing a stuffy feeling, cleared away like fog, and her mind gradually became clearer. And then she realized. What Park Chigyeong was doing right now was…

“Mr. Jang Sang-in. Do you know something?”

Park Chigyeong brought his incredibly handsome face close to the owner’s, which had become even more pathetic in an instant, and summed up this terrifying situation in a single sentence.

“Smile, you bastard. I’m just kidding.”

… Just kidding.

“Crazy bastard…”

The words slipped out from between Taeri’s parted lips.

As if he’d heard that sigh-like murmur, Park Chigyeong turned to look at her. Seeing Park Chigyeong’s lips curve into a smooth smile, Taeri’s body instinctively recoiled. Even when the hulking owner had yelled at him, Taeri hadn’t flinched once, but Park Chigyeong’s gaze made her shudder.

If what the owner had done a moment ago was a physical threat, Park Chigyeong’s threat was different. It wasn’t on the same level. It was something else entirely.

Park Chigyeong, still staring at Taeri, extended a long arm toward the owner, who quickly grabbed his hand.

“Hand it over.”

Park Chigyeong’s words made the owner, who had been racking his brains, suddenly exclaim, “Ah!” and swiftly pull the prosecutor’s identification badge from around his neck, placing it carefully in Park Chigyeong’s hand.

While hanging the ID card around his own neck, Park Chigyeong took one step, then two, closing the distance between himself and Taeri. 

Taeri couldn’t back away. Like a weak animal whose anesthesia hadn’t worn off, unable to move her body at will, she stood stiffly frozen in place.

Park Chigyeong, now standing before Taeri, hummed thoughtfully as if considering something, before speaking.

“I’m hungry.”

“……”

“Let’s have dinner together. We have things to discuss.”

“Come with me.” 

With those final words, Park Chigyeong brushed past Taeri and left the gaming hall.

Taeri, still standing there, looked around the gaming hall’s interior, which had been turned upside down in an instant, with bewildered eyes. 

Her clenched hands trembled.
