Friday 3pm.

I am driving an old car and going on a business trip outside the bureau for the first time in a long time.

The companions are Bir and Kuen, who are sitting in the back seat, and Alessia, a security guard, who is sitting in the passenger seat. There are 3 people in total.

For the first few minutes, Kuen was talking about this and that, but now, two hours later, the only thing filling the car is the band’s music playing on a small LP player.

I feel like I might fall asleep when I’m in a bad mood, so I try to move my body to the rhythm.

In the rearview mirror, I saw Bir bobbing his body from side to side following me.

It’s not like a human metronome, with an expressionless face, bobbing left and right to the beat.

I think it’s been like this before.

There are still about 6 hours left to reach the destination.

Since the bureau is located in the southern corner, you have to drive for a long time just to get anywhere.

‘So it’s best not to go out in the first place.’

This time, I can’t help it because I have to see it with my own eyes.

The place we are currently heading to is a city called Eli, which is the main territory of the Rud Zetas.

Of course, security is a mess, and more than half of the city’s population are drug addicts.

The reason I’m going to this crazy city is because the person presumed to be behind the alliance was seen here.

‘I worked hard since early in the morning looking for this guy.’

When I went to the director’s office in the morning, there was a mountain of documents piled up.

The information on approximately 1,000 people was classified by gender, age group, characteristics, etc., and Mariela stayed up all night classifying it.

When I saw Mariela looking like she was dying, my conscience pricked me not to give her any more work, so I let her leave work early.

I am always sorry and grateful to Mariela, who always works hard for me despite my incompetence.

‘I should at least buy a gift on the way back.’

In any case, I couldn’t read all of that large amount of documents, so I only looked at information that was similar to the person I was guessing.

As a result, we learned that the person who seemed the most suitable was spotted in Eli.

“Whoaam– Zekeu— When on earth are you going to arrive?”

Kuen said in a weak voice.

My voice was always saggy, but perhaps because I was bored, my voice became more saggy.

“4 hours if you run without resting. 6 hours if you take it easy.”

“Ugh— It’s terrible—”

Kuen’s arms protruded from behind the seat and began to grope my body.

“Stay calm.”

“I’m helping you not to drive drowsy—?”

Kuen’s hand gently caressed my chest and tickled me lightly.

“Stop it because it’s going to cause an accident.”

“Hehehe—”

The hand seemed to stop, but this time it headed towards the face.

Kuen’s hand tried to caress his cheek, but it was blocked by the mask.

“Zeek Why are you wearing a mask? I’m not frustrated–?”

Kuen asked, poking the mask I was wearing.

A commonly seen health mask that covers the mouth and nose.

It’s not really painful, I’m just using it to cover my face.

When going out, especially when going to places where security is terrible like now, you should cover your face to avoid trouble.

“You know the reason.”

“I don’t know–there’s no need to wear it already–?”

“I will be using it from now on, so I need to get used to it in advance.”

“Eh— I want to see Zeke’s face—”

“Don’t waste your time.”

In fact, saying it was to get used to it was an excuse, and the real reason was because of Alessia.

I try to avoid meeting face-to-face with security guards in private settings as much as possible.

Especially if you have to stay together in such a confined space for a long time.

Office workers are, by comparison, small animals.

Even if you say it’s good, it’s at a cute level like aegyo or light touch, and although it’s sometimes burdensome, you can get along with it quite well.

But the security guards are beasts.

They are superhumans who can subdue me with just one finger, and their attacks are so extreme and direct that you can feel a crisis of chastity.

Above all, a small incident that had happened in the past made me wary of the security guards.

This happened a few years ago, when I built a gym for security guards at the management bureau.

I had a vain hope that if I exercised, I could become strong in my own way, even if I wasn’t a superhuman.

So I cautiously stepped into the gym, and this was my first mistake.

There were several security guards inside the gym.

Everyone looked nervous at the sudden appearance of their boss.

Unlike the office building, which adopted a horizontal culture, the security department was literally an army itself, so it was worth it.

Anyway, while recalling the videos I saw in real life, I tried squatting while holding a barbell.

Of course, since I was a beginner, my posture was terrible, and I thought that if I continued like this, I would only ruin my body, let alone my muscles.

The security guard who was watching from the side seemed to be worried, so he came up to me and offered to check my posture.

I gladly accepted.

Since there was no YouTube, there was no answer other than learning from someone.

And this was my second mistake.

Upon hearing the news that Jonjal Hellin, who had an attractiveness rating of 100, wanted a personal PT, all the security staff in the gym gathered in droves.

The security guards touched my body to check if I was using my muscles, and pressed my body closer than necessary in the name of assisting.

As a demonstration, he did light squats with a 600kg barbell, and he kept forcing me to touch his buttocks and thighs to feel his muscles.

I was whining because 60kg was too much for me, but when I saw that scene, my head became calm as Hyeonta came to me.

And only then did I realize that the security guards’ expressions had become quite dangerous.

The eyes of a wild beast hunting for prey, highly flushed cheeks, irregular breathing, and the sound of swallowing that keeps being heard.

I ran away, saying I had work to do, and haven’t even gone near the gym since.

‘How does such strength come from such a thin body? ‘

I realized once again that there was no way for me to become strong in this idiotic worldview where the laws of physics were all crap.

I also realized that I shouldn’t treat the security guards like office workers who act cute at best.

From then on, I carefully avoided meeting the security guards in private.

When carrying out a mission, everyone focuses like a professional, but you never know what will happen in private.

This is why Alessia wears a mask in front of her.

It’s not that I don’t trust my employees, but being insecure means being insecure.

I glanced at Alessia.

He was looking straight ahead without shaking.

He should be comfortable, but he has an undisturbed attitude as if he were on the battlefield, and is a true soldier who is sincere about FM.

This is Alessia’s impression.

‘Most security guards are like that in the first place.’

There was only one reason why I chose Alessia out of dozens of security guards.

Because she worked as a mercenary for Eli.

To be exact, he is said to have been a soldier and worked as a mercenary after retiring.

Because of this background, he was the perfect companion.

“Alessia, there’s a chance you won’t be able to return all weekend. I’ll give you a vacation when I get back, so don’t complain too much.”

“No. I can’t help but feel dissatisfied. Rather, it is an honor to be with you, Director.”

You have a good social life.

Still, it’s too stiff.

“You don’t have to be too stiff when you’re with me. Take it easy.”

“I understand. I will make it easy for you.”

Alessia said she would take it easy, but there was no change in her tone or posture at all.

“…It doesn’t look very comfortable?”

“Sorry. I will correct it.”

I think it will take some time.

After running for an additional 2 hours, I stopped for a short rest.

“Director, aren’t you having a hard time? Since I can drive too, I will take shifts.”

Alessia made an amazing offer, but I declined.

“No, it’s okay, you will continue to struggle after you arrive, so I should at least drive.”

I’m not saying this to be rude, but I really plan to have fun with it.

“…Okay.”

Alessia reluctantly agreed, and there was silence for a moment.

“I… Director, aren’t you frustrated? That mask.”

“Well, it’s frustrating.”

I hate being stuffy.

I don’t like frustrating situations, and I don’t like being physically frustrated.

So honestly, I feel like I’m dying right now.

It’s already frustrating because I’m in the car, but I’m even wearing a mask.

“Are you in this because of me?”

Alessia said something unexpected.

“Uh… that is… ”

“I heard it from my seniors. They say he did something profane at the gym a long time ago.”

“…Well, that’s right.”

Everyone was aware.

Even though it’s been several years, I still care about it.

I didn’t find it particularly problematic… Oh, so you care more?

“Is it because of that that you don’t trust me? I can assure you that I will not commit the same mistake as my seniors.”

“Hmm… Do you feel confident?”

“Yes, I am confident. I am not deceived by personal desires.”

I’m not sure if I can trust it.

However, I didn’t lose my posture for almost 4 hours, so I know that patience is amazing.

Now that I think about it, was it a kind of expression asking me to trust myself?

In fact, those seniors didn’t do that from the beginning either.

As I watched his posture and started touching him, he became more and more excited.

I don’t really have any physical contact with Alessia…

Is it okay if I take it off?

“They say that much, but you have to believe it.”

I took off my mask.

I only removed one piece of cloth, but I feel like my heart has been ripped out of my chest.

I glanced towards Alessia, and our eyes met.

She looked at me blankly for a few seconds, then came to her senses and turned her head.

“It’s okay, right?”

“Yes. No problem.”

There really is no problem, right?

After a long, long drive, we finally arrived in Eli and found a place to stay.

I’ve been driving for over 7 hours and I’m so tired that I’m dying.

“Thank you for your hard work. Master.”

Fortunately, Bir is giving me a massage, so my body is relieved of fatigue.

As expected of a versatile Birr, even the massage is perfect.

“Hey… Director, are you using only one room?”

Alessia asked an extremely obvious question.

One man and three women.

It’s not that we don’t have money, but it can be seen as strange for everyone to share a room.

“This is enemy territory. You can be attacked at any time, so it’s safer to stick together.”

“Enemy camp… It certainly is. I understand.”

When Alessia heard that it was enemy territory, her military spirit tightened.

“Well, if it’s really inconvenient, I don’t mind sharing a separate room.”

“No. It’s okay.”

It seems like something was subconsciously forced upon me.

“I already passed it on, but I’ll say it again. The primary goal of this operation is target identification. I would like to capture him alive if possible, but it would be difficult. Radios should be used only when necessary. If the same signal is caught periodically, the Zetas will be suspicious.”

“And since friction should be avoided as much as possible, if an argument arises, avoid the situation. Kuen, I’m talking to you.”

“Eeh–? Do you think I have that level of discernment?”

Kuen, who was rolling around in bed, said as if it was obvious.

“It’s 8 o’clock now, so let’s rest until 9 o’clock and then leave. They said Target has been appearing on the black market for the past two days, so he’ll be making an appearance at least once throughout the weekend. This is the end of the message.”

“Okay.”

It was a bit out of place because she said it while she was lying down and receiving a massage, but Alessia answered with a clear voice anyway.

On the other hand, I heard Kuen’s voice, which was not only weak but melting.

“Zeek – I want to get a massage too–?”

A seductive voice.

However, perhaps because it is so slow, it is not particularly attractive.

“What is a massage after sleeping all day?”

“It was uncomfortable to sleep in the car–”

“Well… That’s true too.”

Obviously, if you sleep for 7 hours in an uncomfortable place, your body will feel achy.

Moreover, since Kuen is an important power, it would be right to relieve the body’s fatigue.

“Bir, I’m done now, so please finish it for Kuen.”

“Eeh—? Zeke did it for me – wasn’t it –?”

“You should get it from a professional.”

Bir began massaging Kuen.

It’s the same expressionless expression as when he gave it to me, but it feels a little darker.

“Ugh— Hmm— Ugh—”

As I listened to Kuen’s groans, which had many impure intentions, I became irritated.

“Be quiet.”

“Hauuu—Zeeku—I feel good—”

“I’ll be thrilled.”

I made eye contact with Alessia, who was sitting on the bed in an upright position.

She looked at me with embarrassed eyes and quickly averted her gaze.

I should just use each room.
