Choi Woo-sik’s dumplings became skewers.

A long needle dug into his cradle, and an Oriental medicine doctor from the province left him in poor health.

There will be no more life born from Choi Woo-sik.

If there is, it would be possible if Choi Woo-sik had sperm that had been frozen in advance before he was pierced by the long needle.

‘That’s also a story about a woman who is truly and rationally in love with Choi Woo-sik.’

Choi Woo-sik (sunshade) dies, and Choi Woo-sik (modified human) is born.

Although he has become a seedless watermelon, if there is a woman who falls in love with the life of Choi Woo-sik, a reformer who lives with desires other than sexual desire, another miracle may happen.

“That man, what are you going to use it for? Are you trying to erase your name and make yourself a member of society? As a completely different person?”

“Even if you can’t leave behind your genes, it would be a shame to just throw away your skills as a plastic surgeon. I need to get plastic surgery.”

Choi Woo-sik is not having plastic surgery.

“A new face for those who have to change their faces to live. Because plastic surgery is not just for cosmetic purposes.”

If you look at it from a villain perspective, it has the purpose of identity laundering.

If you look at it from a heroic perspective, it is also possible to treat someone who has suffered a serious burn or skin wound in an accident.

Since the beauty industry can raise a huge amount of money, Choi Woo-sik’s medical skills can be put to good use in many ways.

Baaah!!

An unidentifiable sound rings out from inside the remodeling room.

It’s the sound of masterminds going in and remodeling the mind of a man named Choi Woo-sik, and now there are no slaves of capitalism living for the shadow of the sun.

In the future, there will be a public medical center that is active not only in beauty but also in other fields.

And now, there is only bait to capture the ‘blood bags’ that have been linked to Haeguneul Plastic Surgery.

“Gunggi. Things.”

“For now, you are here. Are you taking good care of it? Even if it’s overlaid with two people’s mana, there’s no way to be quietly trapped in mana gold.”

Hye-ra Yoon handed me a bead.

A bead with a gold pin on the inside, and a pattern that resembles a coiled snake on the pin.

It is a seal placed on the directors of the Haeguneul Group, and the one that looks similar to Yeongashi is sealed in Managold.

“If you make a mistake, all the pretty girls in Korea who have had plastic surgery will have their middle school graduation photos exposed. Be careful.”

“He’s the perfect person to lock things up like this.”

“That guy?”

“Okay. I have made a friendship to use for times like this, so it will come soon. Let’s go out to meet him too.”

I took Yoon Hye-ra and Hyeon Se-rin to the parking lot.

In the parking lot, a black van that had been serviced by members of the organization was waiting for us.

“Then let’s go.”

“Oppa. You definitely don’t want to drive in that outfit, do you?”

Hye-ra Yoon grabbed my arm and pulled the scholar uniform I was wearing.

“Don’t you know that when doing something like this, you have to dress appropriately for the atmosphere? Didn’t you see the movie?”

“…….”

“Like this. Huh?”

Sararak.

The mana covering Yoon Hye-ra’s body changes in an instant.

Just like Hyeon Se-rin, she was wearing a black shirt, black pants, a black hat, and a coat, making anyone look like she was thinking, ‘I’m a scammer.’

” Normally, when doing something like this, you should wear it like this. My sister always dresses like this.”

“…The hat is acceptable.”

Hyeon Se-rin also used mana to create a black hat and wore it tightly on her head.

“You know it’s bad manners to wear a grim reaper costume in a crime movie, right?”

Both of them had long, waist-length hair that was a mixture of red and gold, white and gold, but they paid no mind as they approached the passenger seat.

“Manners.”

I opened the back door to the two people waiting in front of the passenger seat and pushed them inside.

“First of all, you are not the one to ride next to the driver, so get in the back here.”

“…There are no seats here. Is it a luggage compartment?”

“You put women in the trunk. What kind of manners is this?”

“A manner that often appears in crime movies. And what kind of trunk is this?”

They just tore out all the seats behind the second row.

I’m trying to somehow load up a lot of blood.

“This is just a van, it’s completely a truck! How can you even think of putting these beauties in the bed of a truck instead of the passenger seat?”

“It’s not blocked from front to back like a truck, and there is a passageway connected from front to back, so isn’t it okay?”

“Then what about the passenger seat? There’s an empty seat. Who should sit there? Hmm, you two are going to fight?”

Yoon Hye-ra and Hyun Se-rin looked at each other and grinned.

“No. Neither of you.”

Okay, he turned his head towards me.

“Another woman?”

“Who is it again? Are they by any chance?”

“I’m not American. And….”

I went to the driver’s seat, sat down in the driver’s seat, and pointed to the two people to the small chair behind me.

“Not a woman.”

“What….”

The two of them sat on the cart chairs placed right behind the driver’s seat and passenger seat, with eyes filled with disbelief.

“Oh my god, Manager Do put a man in the passenger seat?”

“Who is it?”

“You’ll know when you meet. But I won’t tell you who it is. And….”

I lightly grabbed the van’s stick and pulled it, leaving the parking lot.

“You can’t abandon a scholar.”

“No, are you going to walk around wearing that? What are you going to do if you meet people all the time?”

“When we meet, we just meet. Oh, would you like some coffee? I guess I should at least quench my thirst while I’m on the way.”

“And you want to go buy coffee?”

“No.”

I reached in front of the rearview mirror and pulled out a card.

“Drive thru.”

“…Hi-pass card?”

“I heard that Haegeuneul is really good at this kind of thing.”

After checking the status of the card, I placed the Taegeuk watch I secured from the driver in front of me.

“Payment is the most convenient in the world.”

Sunshade Cafe 24.

He gets criticized for selling cheap, tasteless coffee for 5,000 won in a small size, but for Jeong Ki-woo, the branch manager of the cafe and dreams of becoming a barista, this is his workplace and the stage of his dreams.

Although he was in charge of the Uijeongbu branch in Seoul, which was a remote area, unlike Busan, where top baristas are hired, Ki-woo still has a dream.

After paying the monthly rent, I have less than 500,000 won left per month, but my dream is to save that money as capital and open a private cafe in Seoul, Busan, or anywhere else.

If you just open your own cafe, the place where you work, Haegeuneul Cafe, will immediately try to eat you.

After you have acquired enough skills, connections, and the right money to get into a position where you won’t be eaten by the sun, leaving this place would be suicidal.

“Manager, drive-thru order has arrived.”

“Okay, order… huh?”

The moment he heard the part-time worker’s words and saw the order form, Jeong Ki-woo felt a chill down his spine as he saw the black van parked after just finishing the order.

“Uh, uh…?”

That van.

I’m sure I’ve seen it somewhere before.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Oh, no. What did you order?”

“Two iced Americanos, one cappuccino, and…”

“And?”

“I think it would be faster to just look at it.”

Jeong Ki-woo glanced at the order form handed to him by the part-time worker and tilted his head.

“Americano without shots?”

“Yes. Did I ask that too? Well… he just asked for water in his coffee cup.”

“……Can I sell water for the price of coffee?”

5,000 won?

Wouldn’t it be better to just go to the convenience store and buy bottled water?

Why are you paying 5,000 won for water?

It’s not regular bottled water according to the guidelines of the Haegeuneul headquarters, but water extracted from a water purifier?

“…Even if it’s in the sun here, isn’t this a bit too much?”

“Aren’t you filming something like HaTube? What do you get at Haegeuneul Cafe if you order something other than an Americano shot? Something like that.”

“If you’re filming a video or something like that… Uhm, I don’t know.”

Jeong Ki-woo reflected on his position.

“If you receive an order, you have to work as much as you get paid.”

After preparing the drinks according to the order form with skillful hands, Jeong Ki-woo handed over the coffee himself.

Grumble.

Beyond the open window with a somewhat dull sound.

“Thank you.”

“……!”

Looking at the young man receiving coffee with sunken eyes, Jeong Ki-woo felt a chill down his spine for an instant.

“Ah, Joe, have a nice day.”

Coo coo coo.

The van left the exit with a dull sound.

“Wow. He looks a lot like Do Ji-hwan. The store manager also tried to perform surgery on Do Ji-hwan, but he failed, right?”

“Keu, keuhm.”

“The plastic surgery went really well. Look at this. The name for which membership is accumulated is Kim Chun-sik, but that face.”

“Kim…Chunsik?”

It’s not a common name, but it’s a familiar name.

“…….”

A familiar black van.

A familiar name.

Huge pile of coupons.

“Scratch your order history. What did this person usually order?”

“…just one cup of coffee?”

“…….”

But a man who looks different suddenly drinks different types of coffee?

“…….”

Feeling uneasy for some reason, Jeong Ki-woo fiddled with his Taegeuk watch out of curiosity.

“Ah, no way. Probably not.”

okay.

The payment was made without any problems, so there will definitely be no problems.

I thought this and waited for the next customer for 30 minutes.

“Excuse me. I think we need some cooperation.”

“Uh…team leader?”

The moment the man in the black suit from the headquarters brought the police in, Jeong Ki-woo realized that his intuition was correct.

It had already been more than 30 minutes since the van disappeared.

Northern Gyeonggi Province, Uijeongbu City.

As we left Seoul and headed toward our destination, northern Gyeonggi, we stopped at a public parking lot to quench our thirst.

“…No matter how much of a villain he is, is it okay to be like this?”

“Uh.”

I flicked the card inserted into the Hi-Pass terminal and the driver’s Taegeuk watch with my finger.

“In times like this, when else would I use someone else’s credit card?”

“…I’m saying this as if it’s obvious, but you know that’s a serious crime, right?”

“Of course.”

Using someone else’s credit card carelessly is a crime, and it would not be surprising if the police showed up immediately.

“It’s okay because I wrote it on purpose.”

They didn’t even change the van’s license plate.

There is a guy who uses the kidnapped gang member card.

“The bait has been thrown, now all you have to do is wait for it to catch you. Finally, I waited and it came.”

I’m sorry.

“A black car arrives before the police car. Isn’t this a cliché you often see in crime movies?”

“Heyㅡㅡㅡ!”

A loud voice rings out.

“Not only did Chun-sik kidnap you, but you were the one who used Chun-sik’s card!!”

That voice contains menacing magic power.

“I just came all the way to Uijeongbu and missed the drive-thru!!”

I threw the driver Kim Chun-sik’s card and the Taegeuk watch at the young man who got off screaming.

“Rest assured. Everywhere I go, I make sure to save coupons.”

Manners were maintained.
