Chapter Index

    Tell me what to do.

    As Rahee predicted, the association was shaken up by news related to Suhyeon.

    What’s worse is that the directors of the association, who are known for being heavy-handed, came rushing to the association building in a panic… It would make my mouth hurt to even mention the seriousness of the situation.

    In fact, it was unavoidable for them.

    Since that incident, which everyone in the association is afraid to even dare to talk about, calling it ‘that incident’, people in the association have suffered from a disease where they foam at the mouth whenever they hear the words ‘talent outflow’ or ‘naturalization’. just because.

    Still, I was relieved because he assured me that it wouldn’t happen this time, but it wasn’t a lightning strike in a dry sky. What on earth could this have happened?

    Among the directors who hurried to the Korea Hunter Association building in Seoul after hearing the news, there were several who had to make a hasty U-turn on their way down because they had work in the countryside, and the expressions on the faces of those who hurriedly returned to Seoul were like that. Perhaps influenced by this, the atmosphere in the hall was harsh and harsh.

    “So, what happened?”

    “That’s right. Didn’t you think it would be okay this time, seeing as the subject showed no intention of leaving Korea?”

    Is that why?

    Naturally, an atmosphere was created that seemed to criticize Eugene, who was in charge of the matter.

    Of course, Eugene couldn’t help but feel unfair.

    No, this wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t used a kid who was only a high school student at the time as a shield to change people’s public opinion.

    At first glance, he seemed like a kid who had never even thought about living abroad, but you made him fall out of love with the country called Korea, and now you’re blaming me?

    When she was criticized for something that wasn’t her fault, she felt a moment of resentment and burst into tears, and those words rose up into her throat… but she was a member of society.

    He was also a member of society who was recognized enough to be promoted to a managerial position at a young age in places such as the Hunter Association.

    And what does it mean to be recognized as a member of society?

    It also meant that I was very good at distinguishing between what to say and what not to say.

    It would have been refreshing if she had just vomited out the harsh words that had been stuck in her throat at the people who were trying to place the blame on her.

    While my throat was congested, I would have felt like my stomach was full, as if I had taken a shot of carbonated cider… but instead, I would have lost a lot.

    ‘But since I have an uncle, he won’t be able to cut me off arbitrarily…’

    Instead, I would have had to come down from the path to success that I had been on so far.

    So, it could be said that it was a very foolish thing to just say something that came to mind in a moment without even the slightest bit of dramatization.

    But what if instead of just spitting it out, you tweak it a bit?

    ‘Anyway, the reason these people are causing this mess is because they are in a position that cannot be honorable in this matter.’

    As an aside, let’s assume that Soo-hyeon becomes a naturalized American citizen.

    So who will be responsible for that?

    Who will people try to hold accountable?

    Of course, when we think about what happened to Soo-hyeon in the past, even the majority of the public cannot be free from this problem… Humans are inherently strict towards others, but are infinitely lenient towards themselves.

    So, rather than admitting that they are partly responsible, they will try to find the cause elsewhere.

    There is a high probability that that ‘elsewhere’ will be an association.

    And the moment such public opinion was formed, it was obvious what the media would do.

    The best they can do is bring up past events and say that although the association cannot protect young students, it has instead been used as a shield to mislead public opinion.

    ‘The moment that happens, the most dangerous thing is…’

    These people were probably serving as directors of the association at that time.

    I bet that’s why I’m barking so hard right now because I know that’s definitely going to happen.

    ‘···When I think about it, I feel a little annoyed.’

    They are the ones who made all the mistakes, but they are trying to pass the blame on to the person who tried to fix it somehow, without being able to encourage them.

    I can’t do it.

    Even if it means being criticized a little, you should at least say something.

    “Our team believes that events in the past would have greatly influenced his decision.”

    Of course, that was why I deliberately made a gloomy expression, put it on my face, and then said those words.

    And since he didn’t say it out loud like that and instead casted a roundabout way, I guess he couldn’t help but feel at a loss for what to say at that moment.

    Everyone kept their mouths shut as if they had been talking, growling, and growling for some time… Watching that, I couldn’t help but feel relieved.

    “···Isn’t that Team Leader Lee’s personal judgment?”

    “That’s right. Isn’t it possible that the parties involved may have different opinions?”

    “I thought that might be the case, so I contacted the target whenever I had the chance… but what I felt every time was that there was almost no attachment to the country called Korea.”

    In fact, it was something I just made up on this occasion, but I don’t think those old people who are busy putting off their own work, making excuses for each other, would know that fact.

    And those who had been secretly trying to shift responsibility to her, perhaps deciding that they could not let things continue like this by blocking the escape route, immediately changed direction and moved forward.

    “Aing, tsk tsk… So these days…”

    “That’s right. How much effort and sacrifice did we make to support a country that was about to collapse due to gates and monsters?”

    Wow… I really don’t want to hear this…

    I think I now understand why my grandfather, who could have been the president of the association if he wanted to, spends his days holed up in the mountains…

    It would have been a moment when he was using one of the skills that a member of society who is good at hearing a story with no nutritional value that starts with a latte like that, is to listen with one ear and let it go with the other.

    Could it be that he didn’t like the behavior of some directors who, if left alone, seemed ready to bring up stories from 50 years ago?

    Someone banged on the table.

    “It’s good to talk about the past, but isn’t what’s important now what to do in the future?”

    After all, my maternal uncle…!

    Really… there should be more people like my maternal uncle…

    “Kuhm… That’s true.”

    “So, does this team leader have any other measures in mind?”

    It’s a solution…

    To be honest, it’s not that I didn’t have anything in mind… but the opponent was the United States.

    This is the United States, which has maintained its position as the world’s most powerful country despite facing one of the top three crises that humanity has ever experienced.

    Therefore, it is the United States that is bound to have a very strong sense of pride… In a country with such a history, it acts as if the face of its allies is a waste of money and rushes in to recruit just one person?

    It was difficult for her, a mere citizen, to even imagine what conditions would be presented.

    ‘What is certain is…’

    No matter what conditions they put forward, it would fall far short of that.

    So, rather than awkwardly imposing various conditions… we have no choice but to do the best we can and then leave the rest to heaven.

    To put it bluntly, you probably don’t know.

    Su-hyeon’s thoughts might suddenly change due to someone.

    ‘I can’t do this.’

    I need to get it.

    I hadn’t even thought about immigration in the first place, but I felt like I wouldn’t be able to handle it if I continued to ignore Rahee’s calls.

    There… right now it’s just Rahee, but what if Rahee contacts Ari and tells her about this?

    I didn’t even know if I would see it.

    The scene where Ari cries is the third most frightening sight in the world.

    No, it would be a relief if it ended on a crying note, but if I get upset because of this…

    ‘When was the last time Ari got upset… I think he treated me like an invisible person for over a week.’

    Anyway, I needed to prevent the situation from spreading too much, so I first asked for understanding from Amelia, who was walking ahead and pretended to be my guide, and then immediately called Rahee.

    Amelia looked very perplexed at my behavior and began to hint that I should talk on the phone later, but I ignored her.

    I felt really sorry for the American ambassador who was waiting for me inside the building, but this was more urgent right now.

    Sure enough, Rahee was also waiting for me to call.

    Before the tone had even rang twice, a click sound came into my ears, indicating that the call had been connected.

    -Is it the embassy?

    “Uh, huh…?

    -Is this the US Embassy now?

    “Uh… That’s right… Should I go out now?”

    -No, there is no need for that.

    Someone said that.

    When having a conversation with your girlfriend, one of the words you need to be most careful with is ‘I don’t need it.’

    Is it because of a post with such content that suddenly popped into my head?

    A cold sweat began to run down my spine.

    “No, let’s go out.”

    -You mean there’s no need for that? instead···.

    instead?

    -There’s a woman next to you right now who says she’s Amelia, right?

    “Uh… that’s true…”

    -Then ask that woman. I’m heading there now, but can you let me go there too?

    “Huh? You too…?”

    -Yes, me too.

    to···?
