After the fall of North Korea, ‘North Korean refugees’, which is not the official name used to refer to them, had to adapt to South Korean society.

To survive.

They had to adapt as quickly and surely as North Korean defectors adapt to South Korea.

To do that, what is most needed?

It’s money.

If you have money, you can somehow settle down in northern Gyeonggi Province or anywhere south of the DMZ.

How should we respond to the 10 million North Korean refugees?

The government mobilized various methods and even received help from Sunshade in the process.

Haeguneul’s supplies were purchased at low prices with taxes and sent to North Korean refugees, and unsold apartments among the apartments built by Haeguneul Construction were used as temporary residences for North Korean refugees.

They selected the Haegeuneul Industrial Complex as a place to work and make money, and when they could afford it, they were mobilized as construction workers to develop old North Korean land and were supervised by Haegeun employees.

Although it is still being done the same way, it is a process that is close to what is called ‘standard’ in capitalist society.

I know that the standard is right.

However, the standard is difficult, painful, and the rewards are small.

So humans pursue expedient methods.

We know that it is wrong to deviate from laws, principles, and norms, but where we deviate from the right path is full of sweet fruits.

Haeguneul attracted such expedient-oriented people among North Korean refugees.

The most representative example is the underground leeches of Hwanghae Province.

They turned ordinary farmers into cyber information warriors for Sunshade, paid them after-tax money several times the minimum wage, and made them their followers.

then.

Are there really only leeches?

Of course not.

Haegeuneul probed wherever money came from, committed illegal acts everywhere and made money through expedient means.

Like the sight seen right before our eyes.

“This is our home! Get out!”

A young couple shouts at a man sitting in front of a shabby building, speaking in a slightly stiff tone as if they are reading a Korean language book.

“Ah, high and low, this is my home!”

The tone of voice of the middle-aged man sitting in front of the old, crumbling brick house with a chair was strange even to me.

“Mr. Seolhee. What kind of tone does that sound like?”

“…A person who escaped from North Korea and came to Busan?”

While taking a break with a drink at the Sunshade Convenience Store – all traces of Sunshade have not yet been erased even to the north – we listened to a fight that broke out in a house right next to the convenience store.

“Get out now! It’s my house!”

“What are you talking about? I’ll tell you, I’ve lived here for thirty-eight years!”

“Don’t lie! We lived here until 3 years ago! You scammer!”

“Scammer? Be careful what you say! It’s crossing the line for fellow Koreans to call themselves fraudsters!”

Her voice got louder, but Baek Seol-hee pointed at the middle-aged man with meaningful eyes while fiddling with her business card.

“That person is from Busan.”

Baek Seol-hee is also from Busan.

“There is an old movie with North Korean soldiers in it, and I am copying the way they speak. But no matter how you correct your tone, you can’t hide your hand gestures.”

“Look! I’ve been living here forever! This house is my house!”

“That’s exactly the same pose you do when you get off when a car hits you from behind. how is it? My thoughts are that Busan guy… I think he’s going home and having fun right now.”

“Correct answer.”

As Busan native Baek Seol-hee predicted, the owner of the house in the old North Korean land beyond the DMZ is not that middle-aged man.

“A person who receives orders from the sun and moves into an empty house to live there. Later, when an administrative official sent by the government comes, he pretends to be the landlord.”

“Documents?”

“The sun’s shade was behind you. It’s all about putting it all together.”

If you are on the same boat, all you have to do is come up with a suitable excuse and prepare the documents.

A person hired by Hae-neul settles in North Korean land, and a public official under Hae-neul’s instigation buys the land from him.

Then, even if the real homeowner returns later, the house and land will ultimately end up being taken over by someone else.

“Mr. Seolhee. I know that? It seems that some North Korean refugees are given very special language training opportunities. Through lottery.”

“Isn’t that language study meant going far away from home and taking classes on the southern coast for about a year?”

“Slightly military style. I can’t come out in the middle.”

“…isn’t it a lottery?”

“I heard that all sponsorship and education expenses were provided by Sunshade.”

“Ha. Really…”

Baek Seol-hee tapped her carton of milk with her finger with an annoyed face.

“While other people were doing hero activities, they were doing things like that behind the scenes…?”

No matter how S-class a hero is, he doesn’t know much about what goes on in the back world.

Baek Seol-hee has been working hard to rescue citizens and eradicate villains, and Hae-geun has been thoroughly hiding such expedients and crimes to avoid being discovered by heroes.

“I’m annoyed. really. It’s already failed, but I hope it fails one more time.”

“It will continue to fail in the future. Until the remnants of the sunshade completely disappear from this land.”

It’s not something to criticize and say, “How did you not know?”

It’s the fault of those who have been hissing in one thing until now without even the hero knowing.

“Get out! If you disturb me any further, I will call the police!”

“Lie! This turns out you are not this landlord! What kind of dispute do North Korean refugees call the police for?”

“Kkkk…!”

The middle-aged man was eventually caught.

“We say we report it to the party, but it’s the South Korean bastards who call the police…”

“What? South Korean brats? Are you now claiming to be a ‘North Korean monster’?”

“Oh…!”

However, he immediately started talking and started to push the young couple.

“This, this, there were still remnants of communists! Since when did the puppet state collapse, are they still calling the Republic of Korea South Korea or something?! For this, I should call the National Intelligence Service, not the police!”

“Oh, no! That’s not what we meant!”

The young couple is also embarrassed and tries to deny something.

“Really? So, of course you can answer this, right? Kim Il-”

“개새끼!”

“……It’s not North Korea. Was the red color not yet gone? Tsk tsk, the government must have spent a lot of money on indoctrination education, but the water has not subsided yet. Look at this!”

The middle-aged man pointed to the latest Taegeuk watch on his wrist.

“It does not belong to those who criticized it as being dirty agents of American imperialism! It’s something made with our technology! Capitalism and liberalism are not wrong! It was the communists who were wrong!”

As the man raised his voice to a somewhat aggressive level, the faces of the young couple also began to turn red.

“Hey, why are you talking like that?”

“The guy who farted gets angry. If you steal someone else’s house and protect it, you’ll have money in your bank account. Can’t you say anything?”

“Are you sincere when praising capitalism?”

“That’s right. …According to data surveyed by the landowners, the money received when the land is successfully handed over to the sun and shade is said to be one million won per pyeong.”

“What…?”

Baek Seol-hee’s expression, which had been laughing, immediately hardened.

“One million won per pyeong…?”

“How many pyeong do you think the land over there is? Approximately 100 pyeong including the yard? It’s pretty wide, right? Even though it is a house that is falling down, as long as you hold out until a government official under the instigation of the sun comes and creates and leaves supporting documents, you will get 100 million won. With allowance.”

And the time it lasted like that would have been less than half a year, let alone a year.

I hope the sunshade doesn’t fail.

“Oh my god….”

“Isn’t it amazing?”

“Busan costs 30 million won per pyeong. Should I buy land here too…?”

“……Of course, the price announced by the government is higher.”

I forgot about it again.

This woman is a woman with so much money that she can burn a huge amount of money on one night with Do Ji-hwan.

“Actually, that land is worth about 500 million won. That’s it. So-called…”

“‘Rebate’? It often appears in documentaries related to sunshade. Is that something like that?”

“That’s right. Literally, it’s a rebate.”

illegal.

“Then what should I do? Those people, did they get their homes taken away after they went to the training provided by Sunshade?”

“…….”

“Why?”

“No. Well, I still feel like a hero.”

No matter how many times she has seen the dark side of society, Baek Seol-hee is still a hero full of justice.

“Mr. Seolhee. The world is full of deceivers and deceivers. But the person being fooled is not always good.”

“…Ah.”

Baek Seol-hee frowned as if she had been betrayed greatly.

“If it’s the way you speak, what I think is…”

“What do you think I was trying to say?”

“…You mean those people are also scammers?”

Baek Seol-hee’s cold eyes pointed at the young couple.

“You’ll know that when you see it. Coincidentally, there was someone over there who could determine it.”

Drurr.

With the sound of an SUV running on a dirt road, a woman in a suit with impressive orange hair got out of the driver’s seat of a car with a sticker that said ‘Execution of Official Duties’.

“I received a report. What’s going on?”

With a harsh, business-like tone of voice, the woman stood in the middle of a young couple and a middle-aged man.

“What’s going on?”

“Well, that’s…!”

“Look! This is their house! I own this house! I lived for 38 years!!”

“…….”

The young couple was embarrassed when they saw the civil servant woman, and the middle-aged man raised his voice with a proud look on his face.

“Is that so? Well then, let me check.”

“Check! I knew this would happen so I submitted the documents…”

“I will read the memories of the land.”

“……Huh?”

As the woman stretched out her hand towards the floor, the middle-aged man’s expression hardened.

“Geometry.”

“……Now, wait a minute. That’s similar to psychometry…”

“I will read the memories that have permeated this land and determine whether you are the landlord or not.”

The name ‘Seong Ji-eun’ was engraved on the woman’s civil servant card.

“……Tsk.”

Then she turned her snake-like eyes toward the young couple.

“One side is a fraudster.”

The moment Seong Ji-eun’s eyes turned towards me.

“One of them is a murderer. The owner of this house.”

I ran straight ahead and kicked the man in the back of the young couple.

Damn it!

…but before their feet could reach them, a young couple was trapped in the ice.
