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.e744f143f52f082c
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.ad0aad04ff5639d5

‘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.’8e544db4b8badef7

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.d4500f41da09d36d
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.9c8b7215efdb9319

Marvin had entered 3217f2b963 Switzerland with three e4c9cbfa8d researchers urgently dispatched fbd67df64a from Korea. The technology transfer a7509d60a5 began on the 738823a717 first floor of ae38f33bfb the safe house, b4776d640b and Dojin held 698987b067 onto the most 4a64f64795 important sample until 5831c0f757 the very end. He acted coy, e8735c935f saying he would 297309d1ef give it to 7cf7b8744e you directly once 6123bddb9b he received the 886c43f278 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.925f2b4ffc323b8d
‘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.’48262e0f17c2f306

Goddamn, it was 876d3f847c disgusting.08b1e08d4d6b21e3
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.d0ad13ea39a91cb7

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.91e2374e4c8584fb

A loud noise dd411c6149 assaulting his eardrums ac819f6251 dragged Marvin back 7f6c45b3d7 to reality. Someone was continuously 3f800b3f94 pressing the horn. Marvin frowned and opened 795b36732a his eyes. The sound was 8da8ce6145 coming from inside 9ad7d35dd4 his own car.f0d50497e5efbfc2
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.576d090b290dc509

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.47be185fa1bdc194

Why had he suddenly remembered those events? It wasn’t like he could demand compensation from someone who was already dead.3c77e05d263b3a14
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.aa3e2153c2a67c6f

He felt strange. It had been 3b3aab34d4 truly a long 2e2f89ca3b time since he 3bf6e2f0b3 had used his 4f1d613959 real name at 297b136bd1 a hospital. The name 74fc396896 he had d685ec9ccb used in 287c4f6be6 Switzerland during 901b6f35e6 his last a32b028514 mission had 777ce695f1 already been d1311cf012 processed as 6f8611122a deceased, and 1aa02a788c even when 0eedd656bf he occasionally c5040ead0b returned to 5e3f6c40c1 Korea and e53ce1112d visited the 69fcb7f2d0 army hospital, fa3dca943f he had 9bc460f618 used false 1e5abc3bdc names.9a0eb9c211980c3a

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.55e2c470d6b7a0b5

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.ec1accb865069157
