The Engagement Was Broken Off at the Wedding Hall - Chapter 39
39 – 3-2. Godyangnam waiting.(2)
“I think I’ll be going to Russia for about half a year.”
“”…………””
Sudden Russian order.
But since I wasn’t sending him right away, I gave him time to pack and say hello.
So, I went straight to my home and told my parents that I was being sent to Russia…
“Oh my…! The company is killing people!”
“I guess I should submit a public petition first.”
“Mother? Father?”
I could clearly see what he was imagining.
I also felt that way when I first heard of the Russian assignment.
Of course, is it normal to be dispatched to a country that is currently at war?
The problem was that it actually happened, and if you look at it one by one, the conditions were not bad.
It may seem like a terrible thing to the local people, but on the other hand, it is a benefit to those coming from overseas.
…The introduction strangely reminded me of a certain country, but I put it aside and explained to my parents what the company had told me.
“It’s okay as long as it’s safe…”
“If anything happens, be sure to call me before it happens.”
“Yes…I’ll take this into account.”
It may be a little unusual, but it actually made me feel more sincere.
“Aww, my kid…Why did this good kid go through so much trouble…?”
“…I guess it’s because he’s going to be big.”
“Honey, are you drunk?”
“Don’t get drunk!”
“Huh…!”
Share a drink and talk.
I feel like something is gradually becoming calmer.
Maybe I pretended not to be, but I think I was anxious on the inside.
“I…I’ll go in first.”
“Okay. Get some rest today.”
After drinking for a while, I went back to my room and lay down.
The room seems to be clean every time I come.
‘This is so…Yeah.’
My room is always clean.
I felt like I was always waiting.
“This time…I’ll go often.”
You’re busy with work and all.
Is it difficult because of family problems?
If I think about it now, they are all just excuses.
‘After all, home is the best.’
It is not for nothing that the saying that if you leave home you are in trouble has spread.
I just pulled the blanket down to my neck and closed my eyes.
“Phew…..”
Let’s sleep.
And let us move forward again toward a new ordeal.
…
..
.
“Hmm.”
I can’t sleep.
Current time around 3 AM.
I wrapped myself in a blanket to sleep comfortably, but I was so nervous that I couldn’t sleep…
‘Not even the day before going on some kind of picnic.’
My body is extremely tired, but my head can’t sleep.
I ended up fumbling around my bedside and grabbing my cell phone due to this strange and unpleasant feeling.
“……………………….”
Go to Naver and read webtoons.
Let’s pass it off as ignorance of MeTube shorts.
I kept turning the screen as if I had given my brain to the Overmind.
‘No. Is it Skynet these days?’
I don’t know.
It’s so difficult for kids these days.
“….Write.”
It’s true that it’s tiring to see this type of bullsh*t coming out all the time.
“Queunnng….”
In the end, after going around and around, I came to the conclusion that there was a lack of content.
There is so much to see in the world, but there is actually nothing to see.
I wonder if it felt like this one day when Jiyeon Kim opened her closet and yelled that she had nothing to wear.
‘I feel like I understand something I don’t want to understand.’
I should just turn off my phone and sleep.
I thought that if I closed my eyes anyway, my body would sleep, let alone my brain.
After all, pressing the scissors means sleeping.
─Tiring♬
“Ugh. I don’t know──huh?”
The message that appears the moment you try to turn off your phone screen.
No, when I looked closely, it was not a message, but an alarm that someone had posted a new post.
“Face note…”
Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I did this, right?
This time, I clicked on the post with ignorance, as if I had sacrificed all my intelligence.
[I hope our country’s warriors return in good health.]
“…Huh?”
What are you talking about?
My eyes widened slightly at the unexpected content.
“Uh, so….”
Nickname Nov.A.
It appeared to be a post posted by Nova.
“…Huh?”
After that, the more I took down the post, the more strange things caught my eye.
[Oh please. God. (Link to Russian declaration of war)]
[What on earth are you thinking? Or is there no such thing as thinking in the first place?]
[I think my younger brother actually likes it. Because I hate men (laughter)]
[Please. Don’t break the vodka for your beliefs. (Angry emoticon)]
[Poutine must be consuming skunk anus on a regular basis. Everything I say smells like sh*t.]
“…You were Russian?”
From what her sister said, it appears that Nova was Russian.
Besides that, the further down you go, the more the Putin curse disappears, and there are pictures of Hawaii, cards, and bunny girls (no faces).
[Sweet Sweet home (standing in the center of the house, face covered with emoticon)]
“Is this a vacation?”
It contains the scenery of Russia.
I drink tea and eat donuts.
I spend my days reading books with someone who is presumed to be my younger sister.
As I was looking at it, the town called Russia didn’t seem so scary.
‘Does Nova… Know much about Russia?’
Then yes.
How about asking Nova about Russia?
I sent her message to Nova while reeling from sleep.
“….Tsk.”
The reply is late.
The silence made me feel like I would have fallen asleep even if 3 more minutes had passed.
No, actually, if you think about it rationally, I wonder if it makes sense to send a message at this time──Tirling♬─hehehe?!
[Yu? Is that right?]
“…Huh?”
A reply has been received.
No, I never imagined you would reply.
“So…So…”
She erased and wrote again with her dull fingers.
[Hello.]
[Hello.]
“Come to your senses, bastard.”
Are your eyes already getting blurry?
I shook my head and looked at the screen again.
[It’s been a while, Yu. I often went to check Yu’s account, but nothing came out, so I wondered if he was dead!]
[Do not kill people who are alive and well.]
[It means I’m so happy to see you. So what happened this morning?]
[Morning?]
‘…It’s 4 in the morning right now?’
[Aha. It’s 9 o’clock in the morning here now. What time is it now?]
“Ah….”
It’s because of the time difference.
Hagisa Even though the towns we live in are very different, there has to be a time difference.
[4 A.M.]
[?? What are you doing when you’re not sleeping yet?]
[I was waiting.]
[Yes? What?]
[Yes reply.]
[(Ashamed brown bear emoticon)]
“What is this? It’s cute.”
The brown bear looks cute.
Probably because I was drunk.
[So, what is real? Could it be that I really waited for your reply…?]
[I think I’ll be going to Russia this time.]
[…….?]
[Company appointment.]
[Yu. Have you ever filed a complaint?]
“…………”
Is this really a complaint?
[So, how did this happen──]
I slowly explained to Nova what my situation was.
At first, due to Russian assignment. Then there were the company’s corruption-related issues, followed by the Sh Sunsal Construction incident.
‘Huh? Is this hoxy…?’
In what sense did you become a whistleblower?
For a moment, Nova sent me just one word.
[I don’t remember anything.]
“…Ha!”
After all, it’s Nova.
Amazing. She’s such an amazing woman.
[Is there a record of everything above?]
[Well. Rabbits have a short memory♪]
“It’s really crazy.”
A different kind of enjoyment than this assistant manager.
As expected, Nova was the only one who felt ‘fun’ while talking.
Well, according to his own words, he is a person who does such things, but he says that it would not be right to do so.
“Anyway…Yeah. I can trust Nova.”
I sent a message right away.
[Are there any tips about Russia?]
[A tip? Hmm…. (Brown bear worried)]
“Ah.”
So stop using the brown bear emoticon.
‘I can imagine it in my head.’
What comes to mind is me smiling and finding the brown bear emoticon and pressing it.
Ah. Why are real people so cute?
As I was just hitting my pillow out of frustration, I received a message from Nova.
[Keep a bottle of vodka on hand.]
“Ha!”
This was a very helpful tip.
*********************
On the day of the Russian announcement.
I waited for the time to come while looking at the list of tips and restaurant recommendations that Nova gave me.
[Here is the bakery baguette ☆Highly recommended☆. Her sister brings it and eats it every day!]
[City Library. Her younger sister likes it when she carries an Americano from the cafe next door, saying it makes her feel like a New Yorker!]
[Jogging route! My younger sister likes it because the road is nice and open on both sides!]
“…It’s full of stories about my younger sister.”
Actually, Nova is in Hawaii.
In that case, it would be best to talk about my sister in Russia.
Anyway, since it was a route recommended by locals, I took a good look at it and decided to give it a go──Hyeonseong!
“Ha! Ha, ha…!”
“…Sir?”
A deputy manager running from the airport entrance across the street.
He runs up to where I am on the feet of his shoes, puts his hands on my knees, and exhales.
“Really…! If I’m going, I have to say that I’m going… And then go!”
“Didn’t you say you were going yesterday?”
“But you still have to tell me when you’re going!”
“Eek….”
What kind of nonsense is that?
It may have seemed absurd even to himself, but the assistant manager pushed ahead with only his emotions.
“Okay, take this.”
“This…Isn’t baricang.”
“Electric shock device.”
“Ah.”
Just in case, take it with you.
“This is a brown bear repellent spray.”
“…They say you can’t take this type of spray on an airplane.”
“Tsk…Take it now!”
Keep giving something.
“A photo of a co-worker, a photo of myself…And…”
“Uh… Assistant Manager?”
“…Follow me first.”
Suddenly he takes me towards the bathroom.
Soon, he left me in front of the women’s restroom and went into the restroom for three minutes.
“…Hyunseong. I’m saying this in case you misunderstand, but I’m definitely not that kind of woman.”
“Sir?”
The assistant manager who came out again had strangely shortened strides.
“So…Hyeonseong, I’m only doing this to you.”
“….???”
I stuffed something into my pocket.
When I put my hand in my pocket for something, he hurriedly blocks my hand.
“Are you crazy?!!”
“Eh…?”
“…Not here. See you when you’re alone.”
From noble mtl dot com
“…………..”
It feels strangely cool.
“And this is the last gift I give you.”
“───Ah?”
Before I could think of anything, Assistant Manager Lee grabbed my collar and pulled me.
A body being dragged away in an instant.
Immediately the body tilts downward.
─── Page.
“…Sir?”
“…….”
Take a step back.
Lips that feel awkward.
As he played with his fingers, the assistant manager blushed and whispered.
“You…Do you like bunny girl cosplay?”
“Yes?”
“…When you come back, I’ll do it for you.”
“Yes?”
No.
Sleep.
What….
“…I’ll even try adding a tail if possible.”
“……………………….”
…I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it.
Oh, as an aside.
“……Kim Ji-yeon?”
“It’s been a long time, brother.”
Overseas assignment.
I’m not going alone.
