episode_0123

I came out to the first floor of the apartment with the vice president.

While she takes a quick smoke break, I head to the recycling center first.

As expected from a stylish apartment, the exterior of the first floor is also beautiful.

The visuals of the residents were also unusual.

As expected from people living in super luxurious apartments, their appearance is full of guilt.

Especially women like me who head to the recycling center.

With her hair tied to one side, she looks all dolled up even though she’s near the house.

A woman who glances around as if she doesn’t want anyone to see her throwing away trash.

I followed her into the recycling center.

“Okay… I’ve thrown away the general waste, so now let’s try separating the waste…”

As I glance at the recycling bin, I see a woman roughly picking up trash with her index finger.

The moment I saw that sight, my brow furrowed.

Wasn’t she just roughly throwing the cans and plastic into the cardboard box?

I was annoyed by that behavior, so I separated the cans and plastics for him.

Because it wasn’t cleaned properly, the smell of rotting food from the container stung my nose.

After the fox ears were attached, this smell was even more noticeable and it was so painful.

But my suffering didn’t end there.

The woman began roughly dumping the Styrofoam into a plastic container.

Even though I couldn’t bear to look at her, I mustered up my courage and spoke to her.

“Over there…”

The woman looks down at me absentmindedly.

She was taller than me and asked with a look of contempt.

“What is it?”

I forced a smile at those murderous eyes.

And I gave advice as politely as I could.

“Styrofoam needs to be thrown away outside…”

“…”

Usually when I hear something like this, I just say, “Oh, really? Thank you.” and throw it away.

But instead, she crossed her arms proudly.

“What does that have to do with you?”

“Yes…?”

I thought I heard wrong.

I would have thought that the residents of such a fancy apartment would be polite.

Instead, I ended up getting scolded.

“Even if you just throw it away, the security guard will separate it for you.”

She shrugs as if it were a given.

Since when did security guards start acting as janitors?

“But wouldn’t it be better for them if we cleaned up well?”

“Ha, isn’t that what you’re getting paid to do?”

what.

This is a really unexpected idea.

Her absurd words leave me dazed.

Then, thinking that she had taken the initiative, the woman suddenly thrust her face toward me.

“Or maybe because we’re both police officers, do you feel a sense of kinship?”

what…?

A housekeeper?

“I’m not a policewoman, am I?”

“Then what is it?”

She still wiggled her fingers with an ignorant look in her eyes.

A sparkling diamond ring catches the eye.

“I’m just staying at a friend’s house for a while.”

“Staying put on… Well, then, it’s like looking at it or not.”

“Yes…?”

“That’s it, opi.”

Office?

No matter how good you are, it’s not like that…

Isn’t this too much?

“Excuse me! You’re being too talkative…”

I almost screamed at that moment.

But soon, I was left speechless by the sight of the vice president appearing carrying a cardboard box.

“What are you doing?”

She stuck her face out between the boxes.

The woman who saw his face immediately put away her arrogant expression.

And then they start to hastily prepare for it.

“Vice President, are you here?”

“Oh, nice to meet you. But who are you…?”

The vice president smiled faintly as he saw her greeting him.

But, I don’t seem to remember who it is.

“I am the wife of Han Jun-seok, the head of the Ilsim Pharmaceutical Department. I greeted you at the party before…”

“Ah, that guy! He wears glasses… and he’s tall…”

“I don’t wear glasses and I’m short, but I’m grateful that you remember me.”

She was the complete opposite of the cynical attitude she showed me.

She is a woman who is more polite than anyone else in front of the vice president.

“Oh my… You even throw away the trash yourself…”

She looks shocked when she sees the recyclables I gave her.

“Don’t call me that outside. Aren’t we all neighbors?-.”

Na-Hyeon laughed out loud instead.

And soon, you will start separating your waste together with me.

The woman looked at me with a puzzled expression.

Throwing out trash together… Does that mean you live with the Vice President?

What should I do? Then it sounds like I’m the vice president’s office worker.

Just thinking about it makes me laugh.

“Ho, by any chance… what is your relationship with the person next to you..?”

The woman next door cautiously asked who I was.

I immediately wanted to get revenge on this.

However, the vice president immediately put his arm around my shoulder and answered for me.

“She’s my daughter-in-law.”

“Daughter-in-law…?”

The woman is taken aback by Na-Hyeon’s words, who looks to be in his late 20s at most.

The vice president then makes a snake-biting gesture with his finger.

“Do you know Team Leader Han? I mean, the enemy. She’s his friend’s wife.”

“Ah… Oh my! So that’s what happened-.”

Soon she stares at me with the back of her hand covering her mouth.

I bow and salute, as if I, who used to be modest, now look like a completely different person.

“I’m sorry, I couldn’t even say hello first…”

I tried not to tremble, but the sound of her teeth chattering tickled my fox ears.

I couldn’t help but burst out laughing at that sight.

I can’t believe his attitude changed so much just because he’s the vice president.

Even the rich have nothing to lose.

“It’s okay.”

I absentmindedly patted her shoulder.

And then whispers softly.

“Let’s be careful of each other from now on.”

“Aren’t we ‘neighbors’ like that?”

At those words, the woman whose legs were loosened staggered.

We left the recycling center, leaving her like that without a second thought.

“Vice President, you go in first. I’ll go check the market.”

“Self-esteem?”

She supported the back of her neck with both hands clasped together.

And then, after poking out her lips for a moment, she answered me.

“Then, let’s go together. I’m our daughter-in-law’s escort knight-.”

I glance back.

The wife of the pharmaceutical company manager, who was left alone, looked at a loss when she heard that the vice president was her escort.

I responded with a smile at that sight.

And he pointed to the recycling bin with his finger.

‘Throw it away right now.’

Then the woman, who had become lost in thought, hurriedly got up.

And he started to pick up the trash he had accidentally thrown away with his bare hands.

She no longer hated the garbage she had created.

He has transformed into a very solid environmental activist.

I couldn’t stop laughing the whole way to the mart because I knew I had done a good job.

but…

The smile soon disappears.

It was very difficult to move forward because of the popularity of the vice president, who was like the queen mother.

Every time I met someone, I would greet them and naturally introduce myself.

Every time that happened, the vice president would introduce me as his daughter-in-law and brand me with a stigma.

If this continues, word will spread throughout Ilsim!

Moreover, the problem did not end there.

Inside the mart, thanks to my heightened senses, I started to see things I hadn’t seen before.

Also in the food corner.

Also in the drinks corner.

Even to the bathroom!

Hunters in black suits were watching us.

When I noticed them, the vice president smiled heartily and reassured me.

“Don’t worry. They’re my guards-.”

“Didn’t you say before that you didn’t need an escort?”

“It’s like that inside, but when I go out, my dad always puts it like this-.”

She clapped her hands in the air as if she was giving a compliment.

Then, a woman who appeared to be the leader of the escort suddenly appeared in front of the vice president.

Where on earth did you come from?

In terms of movement alone, it seems to be almost on par with Anna.

“Heuksa, hello. This is Siho Yang, the wife of our team leader.”

“Please take care of me.”

Slender and sharp body type.

A long ponytail braided to one side.

Black hair and black eyes.

It is indeed a visual worthy of the name Heuksa.

She glances up at me.

Is Ilsim’s hiring condition all about the eyes?

I was as scared as when I first saw the enemy, but I forced a smile and greeted her.

“Hello… She’s not my wife yet, just a close friend.”

He extended his hand to shake hands.

But she didn’t take my hand.

Instead, he glared at me with a scary look, then turned his head away without a care.

“Vice President, can I speak to you separately for a moment?”

“Okay.”

The vice president waved at me for a moment and then walked away from the black death.

After a while, the black snake bent down and whispered politely to her.

“Vice President, we are the only high-level personnel assigned to escort you.”

“That’s right.”

“So, I don’t really understand why we have to escort such ordinary people.”

“If you are capable, you might be curious.”

The vice president looks into space with his hands behind his back.

Then, he soon looks at Heuksa with a serious look befitting his rank.

“Do you remember the past, when the enemy only worked as a killer?”

“Yes… You looked very dangerous.”

“Those who kill will live their whole lives with the guilt of killing. Then, when their minds break down, they will eventually self-destruct.”

I made eye contact with the vice president who was standing far away.

Soon she gave me a look of something naughty.

Ugh… why are you like that?

“That kid is the one who caught her.”

“Team Leader Han regained his human-like eyes after meeting Siho.”

Na-Hyeon straightened Heuk-Sa’s crooked tie.

And then he whispered softly.

“Plus, he has the talent to be the best buffer ever.”

“Buffer…?”

“See that kid’s neck? It’s like a choker.”

“Yes, I see it. It’s a nasty tattoo.”

“That’s the mark of Counters Park Shin-ae. It’s a curse made to take away that child’s buff ability.”

“Is that person’s ability really that good?”

“Yes, it’s unstable now, but if we raise it well, it will be a great help to our company.”

Soon she cleared her throat and glanced at me.

And then he waves his hand as if nothing happened.

“You see? That kid is the perfect match for the enemy. You have to hold on to him so he doesn’t leave.”

“Okay… Okay, let’s get back to the mission.”

“Okay, I hope you have a good day today.”

The vice president gently patted Heuksa on the shoulder.

Then she nodded slightly and suddenly disappeared again.

After that, the vice president approaches me, mumbling.

As if nothing happened.

“He’s originally a bit blunt. But he’s kind-hearted, so please understand.”

“Oh, yes…”

The vice president opens his eyes slightly and looks around.

Then he whispered softly in my ear.

“Actually, that kid had a crush on Team Leader Han. He’s always been like that since the rumor started about him dating you.”

somehow…

The look in his eyes was fierce…

“Don’t worry about it. You’re young, so your tastes will change quickly. If you keep doing that, you’ll end up with a new ideal type.”

She said, dragging the grocery cart around like it was a toy.

I stared blankly at the vice president with half-closed eyes.

The vice president is also in his late 20s…

Sometimes you really do talk like an old man.

“Oh, how about this?”

She says, waving a crab-shaped cookie.

It says it tastes like aged kimchi.

“Is this my first time tasting aged kimchi…?”

She looks down at the candy like a child.

I’m taking back the comment that he looks like an old man.

“Put that down, Vice President.”

“Huh? It’s going to take a long time to cook rice anyway.”

“Eating snacks ruins your appetite.”

I snatched it up lightly and put it back on the shelf.

Then, Na-Hyeon looked at the snack section with a gloomy expression the whole way out.

“Okay, that’s enough for the national dish…”

I hold two pieces of seaweed and look at them alternately.

This one is 500 won cheaper. Is there a big difference?

While I was contemplating between the two seaweeds, I suddenly felt a sharp gaze.

A black snake sticking its head out while holding onto the curry display case.

She was glaring at me as if she was going to kill me.

Why are you doing this to me…

“That, Mr. Black…? Do you have something to ask me?”

“None.”

“Then why are you looking at me like that…”

“I’m escorting you.”

That’s not the look in the eyes of an escort at all!

I smiled awkwardly and avoided her gaze.

He took a deep breath, covering his face with two seaweeds.

I’m sure you’ll be seeing me often during your time here…

Is there any way to become friends?
