章 10: Chapter 10: 1.10 – New mission – Do you want to keep me by your side to watch?
Kwon Taek Joo finds a motel near the waterfront. It's shabby, far from the high-end hotel he stayed at at the invitation of the Russian government. There are several different types of rooms, but because he desperately needs a hot bath, he chose the most expensive room. And then when he entered the room, he didn't understand why it was more expensive than other rooms. Does the price change simply depending on whether the room has a window or not? The only thing in this cramped room is an old bed that has just enough room for one person and a table with a broken leg. To put it a little more, there is also a television the size of a palm, but Kwon Taek Joo wonders if there is enough power to open it? And it seems impossible to dream of something as luxurious as Wi-Fi.
Of course, as long as the water comes out properly, that's not a problem. Kwon Taek Joo almost didn't take off his clothes that were still on his body and stood in the shower. He turned all the water machine valves to the hot water side to melt his frozen body. But the hot water he expected only came out after he had finished bathing with cold water. There was no bathrobe so he went out with a large towel wrapped around his waist.
Something just quickly disappeared before his sudden appearance. Is the cockroach. At least 3-4 children. They still seem to be able to mate and lay eggs even in Siberia, where temperatures range from minus 40 to 50 degrees Celsius.
Kwon Taek Joo shook his head and threw himself on the bed without hesitation. He didn't know when it was cleaned on a dusty mattress. His nose and throat itched uncomfortably, causing him to cough continuously, but Kwon Taek Joo still didn't sit up. He no longer had the strength to lift a finger.
The bed creaked every time he turned around. Now that it collapses immediately, it's probably not strange. However, let's take a nap first. Kwon Taek Joo's body is heavy and his head is dizzy. If you can close your eyes for a while, maybe your mind will wake up again. Soon, both of his eyes were daydreaming.
Kwon Taek Joo slowly closed his eyes and thought about today. It's time for his mother to contact him. But what should I do now because everything including his mobile phone has been blown away. Kwon Taek Joo both concubines and imagines what it would be like to lose complete contact with his mother. It's okay for about a day, but after a few days, my mother will probably leave the house to see Kwon Taek Joo in person. The day she discovered that Kwon Taek Joo was not an ordinary administrative civil servant, her mother would probably be bedridden. His mother would probably mourn that she would go first, as she could not witness him becoming like his father and brother.
That's not possible. Can't. Kwon Taek Joo sat up. He picked up the stethoscope on the table and called out to the lobby, but somehow there was no beep. Even if he hangs up the phone and tries to call back, it's still the same. Kwon Taek Joo jerked the test phone. Sure enough, an electric wire looked like it was gnawed by a mouse dangling.
He threw away the phone he was holding in his hand. Nothing is in my opinion today.
Kwon Taek Joo what to do. He messed up his still wet hair thinking. There is only one way. He didn't dare to put on the clothes that were still half frozen. Instead, Kwon Taek Joo wraps a towel around his waist covering his lower body and trudgs to the first floor.
Contrary to concerns, he did not encounter any other guests. The owner was sleeping in the counter. He tapped his hand on the table, and he woke up startled.
"Oh, I'm startled. What's wrong?"
"I want to make an international call."
"It costs quite a lot of money. Is it okay?"
"It doesn't matter. Can I pay by card?"
The owner nodded indifferently and took out the international phone call from inside the counter. The phone dusts into a solid layer because it has not been used for a long time.
Kwon Taek Joo learns the basic instructions and then lifts the stethoscope. You enter your payment information and then press the country code and home phone number.
Soon, the beeps began to fall. His mother halled the phone immediately. The 'Alo' voice is unusual. It seems that she is worried again.
"It's me. Did you call me?"
As expected, Kwon Taek Joo was attacked by a series of questions. Why didn't you answer the phone, what happened to you and did you get hurt anywhere? She was overly worried as if she hadn't received any news for a few days. Now that Kwon Taek Joo is so used to it that he knows how to reassure his mother in moderation.
He could only end the call after promising himself to actively call her every day. Energy is exhausted. Kwon Taek Joo was pressing on his tired eyes when his stomach began to growl. You must eat something to be comfortable and go to bed.
Kwon Taek Joo glanced at the owner of the motel. He was yawning constantly with an annoyed expression.
"Have any restaurants been a little good lately?l
He looked annoyed and got up and gently pointed his finger at the location of a certain restaurant.
The owner of the motel was about to sit down after giving instructions, when the scarf tied around Kwon Taek Joo's waist was suddenly loose. The towel fell to the floor before he could stop it. Kwon Taek Joo asked the owner who was staring at his central area one more thing.
"Maybe I need some clothes too."
Why of the many restaurants around here did he show you such a shabby place? Kwon Taek Joo sat in an empty restaurant and kept looking around. Maybe this is a hidden delicious restaurant that only locals know. He tried to comfort himself and immediately changed his mind when he saw the owner. If the innkeeper's name is 'Ivanovich', isn't the owner of this place 'Ivanova'? It's just that the hairstyle is a little different, but if you are a stranger, it's hard to be the same.
*The meaning of this sentence is that these two people are brothers and sisters because they are the same as moulding.
It seems that there is no menu, nor any special notes. The owner who had neglected Kwon Taek Joo had suddenly brought dishes that he had never ordered. Borsch cabbage soup and Russian Pelmeni wontons. Kwon Taek Joo looked at the restaurant owner curiously, she pointed her hand at the wall in front of him. The words coffee, vodka and kvass are written zigzag on it. He chose kvass, a traditional Russian drink, and began to taste the dish that was being laid out.
The characteristic smell of lamb spread as soon as he took the first bite. Anyway, it's just an appetiser, Kwon Taek Joo frowned and continued to stuff the food in his mouth. He ate while drinking kvass.
He chewed and rearranged his thoughts. It is clear that after coming to Russia, he had bad luck, otherwise the situation would not have been this confusing. He was given a mission that he was not experienced enough to start, he was kidnapped on the first day of his arrival in Russia, his belongings were blown away in a bombing on the third day, and he almost drowned not long ago, he almost couldn't keep this small life. Moreover, his partner couldn't help at all, if he didn't die at his hands, he would have been lucky. Kwon Taek Joo hasn't had so much bad luck in his life, but why is everything all at the same time now?
His stomach was boiling, but Kwon Taek Joo tried to stay calm. It is useless to complain about the past. It is better to think about the future more constructive. First it seems that it is necessary to report that he is still alive and the course of the accident to the headquarters and then receive additional assistance. And he had to leave here immediately. Considering that Kwon Taek Joo suddenly became Psych Bogdanov's target, it seems that he is not alone targeting him. You have to find out the situation to be safe before it's too late.
But how should Kwon Taek Joo contact the head office? The communication device has exploded and Kwon Taek Joo himself is in Russia is an absolute secret. Not only the Korean immigration authority, but even the embassy doesn't know that fact. During his time in Russia, Kwon Taek Joo's identity was exactly Hiro Sakamoto. But he also couldn't go to the Japanese embassy.
What to do? Even if he thinks about hundreds of thousands of ways, the only way is through Zhenya. The problem is that he didn't even know how to contact him. Kwon Taek Joo doesn't know when he will come, where to meet and Zhenya only seems to appear when he feels like it and has no way to predict it. Maybe just can wait. That guy doesn't have a plan at all, but just giving you a card is enough? Kwon Taek Joo doesn't know where he's going.
"Really."
He shook his head depressed and put down his fork. When his stomach was full to some extent, he no longer had the will to swallow these tasteless dishes. Kwon Taek Joo took the bill and went to the checkout counter. At the same time a bell rang from the door behind him. Two police officers were walking inside.
They seem to be very close friends with the owner, so after intimately greeting each other, they find their own place and sit down. The owner brought out the glass and vodka as usual, chatted with them for a while at the table and then returned to the cash register.
"It's 3000 rubles."
She was unreasonablely slow to state the amount to pay, because even if it was 1000 rubles, it was already a win, but her expression was not only shameless but also very confident. Kwon Taek Joo is not at all satisfied from the quality of the food to the price, but he also has no strength to argue. It's not your money anyway.
He silently handed out the card. The owner was quite dissatisfied. When Kwon Taek Joo said he had no cash, she reluctantly accepted the card. After a while of waiting, it seems that the payment device has malfunctioned. The owner, after swiping the card many times, glanced at Kwon Taek Joo and then suddenly went to the tables of two policemen. Then they continued to glance at Kwon Taek Joo and whispered something.
He immediately met two police officers, but for some reason, that gaze was not very sympathiser. Are they talking about Kwon Taek Joo himself?
Soon, one of the two police officers stood up. Kwon Taek Joo looked at the man approaching him with a puzzled expression.
"Is there anything wrong with me?l
"Let's talk for a moment, sir?"
Meanwhile, the other policeman also approached as if surrounding him and grabbing Kwon Taek Joo's arm. What's up again? These non-stop events are very mythical.
There seems to have been some misunderstanding. Misunderstanding is often resolved when calmly talking to each other. The problem is that the artificial mask has now been removed, so with the current appearance, Kwon Taek Joo is not Hiro Sakamoto. His true identity may be revealed. At all costs you must avoid things related to the police.
Should you ignore it and just run away? It's also not difficult to fight both with your bare hands. But Kwon Taek Joo is concerned that running away means admitting the allegations he doesn't know about and will even turn the Russian police into enemies. There is no benefit in increasing the number of pursuers in his current hiding situation.
First, Kwon Taek Joo needs to calmly consider what to do.
Shouldn't you tell me the reason too?
"The card you just intended to use has been reported to be a stolen card."
What? There is no such thing. It doesn't matter when you use it at the motel not long ago. The owner gives the card reader to the bewildered Kwon Taek Joo. A real warning message is being displayed on it.
"Come on, don't waste any more time, let's go."
The police officer urged Kwon Taek Joo to be standing in a daze. What should I do? If you are pulled away like this, you will have a lot of difficulties. He has now lost contact with headquarters and it's hard to expect any support. After all, the only way to escape is to knock these two policemen down? While Kwon Taek Joo was still hesitating, the policeman who urged him earlier was trying to handcuff him. Immediately Kwon Taek Joo raised his hand.
"Kugh!"
He hit the policeman in the face with the back of his hand and stabbed him in the chest with his elbow. The big policeman hugged his nose and chest and fell helplessly. Red blood came out between his thick fingers. The fellow police officer watching the scene rolled his eyes.
"Ah this bastard!"
He shook off his grabbed arm and was about to kick him in the stomach when a special bell rang from the door. Kwon Taek Joo with his long legs floating in the air with two police officers trying to react stopped moving.
The one who is entering at the right time is Zhenya. Kwon Taek Joo suddenly felt relieved when he saw a familiar face. If the owner of the card has arrived, everything will probably be fine.
He gave up his attacking position and stood up straight. Soon after, the confrontational officer flew in and knocked Kwon Taek Joo down. His wrist was immediately bent back and handcuffed. Kwon Taek Joo glared helplessly at Zhenya. He even nodded his head to let him quickly deal with this damn situation.
But Zhenya just looked around inside the restaurant. Maybe he's assessing the situation, but shouldn't comfort also distinguish the time and place? Kwon Taek Joo's body being crushed by the police is violently pulled up. The policeman handcuffed him and gasped and asked about the condition of his colleague who had just woken up. The policeman with a nosebleed while laughing as he approached Kwon Taek Joo, hatred evident in his hand pushing his back.
Kwon Taek Joo still stands without taking a step. He glared at Zhenya, who had been watching for a while.
"Hurry up!"
The big policeman shouted excitedly. But when Kwon Taek Joo didn't move, he raised his hand as if he was about to hit him with a strong vigour. Just as a giant fist was about to fall on his face, something quick and flexible stopped right ahead.
"...Ah!"
I don't know what happened because Kwon Taek Joo's vision was obscured a while ago. But before he realised it, Zhenya stood tall like a wall in front of Kwon Taek Joo. He was holding the police officer standing in front of Kwon Taek Joo with one hand. The policeman's face turned pale in a moment due to being oversqueezing. His eyes opened and glared backwards as if he was about to fall. Zhenya only let go of him when the policeman was about to stop breathing. The huge officer fell helplessly with just that gentle gesture. His face flushed when the blood began to circulate again.
"Talk to me first."
Zhenya looked down at the policeman and gently asked. The two vigilant policemen looked at each other with puzzled faces, and after several glances, an officer nodded and signalled him to follow him. Zhenya turned to look at Kwon Taek Joo and quietly followed him out.
Kwon Taek Joo came to sit at the table by the window. Zhenya was talking to a police officer outside. He occasionally gave a commercial smile and favourably continued the conversation. He tried to guess the content by looking at the mouth but it was not easy because the policeman accompanying him had hidden his view. His fat ass invades his eyes whenever Kwon Taek Joo can concentrate.
Soon, Zhenya and the officer returned to the restaurant. He looked at Zhenya as if asking for an explanation. That guy just smiled and shrugged. The policeman who was with him didn't explain much to his curious colleague. He pointed at Kwon Taek Joo and gave a surprise directive.
"I'll let you go."
Kwon Taek Joo looked at Zhenya annoyed, wondering if the conversation just now went well. Immediately the handcuffs that were tying his wrist were opened.
The two officers quickly greeted and left the restaurant. The owner is watching the whole situation so far, tilting his head. Kwon Taek Joo is equally confused.
"What did you do?"
"I just gave them a few coins to pay for the wine."
Zhenya replied superficially. Kwon Taek Joo stood with his arms crossed and looked at him suspiciously. The bastard always laughs slowly and faces everything comfortably. Although he always looked like that, he had a strange sense of fear. It's hard to shake off the suspicion that that liberal appearance is not his true nature.
Although it looks comfortable, Zhenya is not a superficial person. Although he was bold and reckless, he did not act without thinking. Kwon Taek Joo wondered how he could find him, but it seems that Zhenya had thought about this before him. He will first track the location of use of the card he gave him, if necessary, he will report the stolen card as it is. The fact that the opponent feels awkward is not an issue that needs to be considered. His personality is not simple either. Although it was Psych Bogdanov's car, the fact that his partner was still in the car could not prevent him from constantly shooting.
Zhenya doesn't mind Kwon Taek Joo's sceptical eyes. Rather, he was brazenly as if he wanted to let him look at him. That appearance made Kwon Taek Joo raise his voice even more sarcastic.
"You seem too busy, don't you? It's hard to see your face."
"What's wrong? Do you want to keep me by your side to watch?"
No. I just want to pull your ears down and sew them to your beak.
Kwon Taek Joo glared his teeth and smiled artificially. His eyes glued to Zhenya suddenly looked over his shoulder. He grabbed Zhenya's chin as he was about to turn around with his gaze. Then Kwon Taek Joo looked him in the eye and gently licked his lips.
"Someone has been glancing at this side a long time ago. Didn't you know you were being watched?"
"…Ah?"
"Are you not careful at all."
"How is this."
"You have to deal with it."
"Then you stay here, I'll go deal with it and come back."
"If you need help, you can tell me now."
"Thank you, but I refuse."
He replied with a smile and left. When Zhenya came out of the restaurant, the person hiding in the corner was suddenly startled. Zhenya walked leisurely towards him, the hem of his long coat flying. The spy was taken aback and suddenly ran away. Zhenya slowly followed him, and soon the two disappeared from Kwon Taek Joo's sight.
Only 2-3 minutes later Zhenya reappeared. Kwon Taek Joo's eyebrows furrowed and looked at him again, because the eye-long coat he had just worn was gone.
"Where is the coat?"
"I threw it away."
Kwon Taek Joo didn't ask why because he could have vaguely known the reason. But Zhenya was still very enthusiastic about explaining the situation.
"Because it's dirty."
Kwon Taek Joo glanced at his fingers. Although he didn't try to pay attention, it still caught his attention. He pierced other people's eyeballs with those fingers. Where were they placed today? If it's to the point of having to take off the whole shirt and come back, it must be on the neck? I don't know if Zhenya suffocated the other person by squeezing his nose and mouth. Although it sounds ridiculous, it's extremely easy for someone like him. Suddenly Kwon Taek Joo felt uncomfortable. Somehow this bastard is more like Psych Bogdanov than the one who died in the other river.
He stared at Zhenya's fingers and thought about it. Suddenly a slight 'snap' sounded. Kwon Taek Joo was suddenly startled to realise that Zhenya was snapping his finger right in front of him. He looked up and caught a mischievous smile on his face. Kwon Taek Joo really doesn't like it.
Zhenya brought something towards him who was frowning heavily at him.
"Don't look elsewhere, look here."
