Chapter 65 - 5.2 Side StoryFinally, it''s time to change shifts. Kwon Teak Joo quickly changed clothes. ''Philip'' and

    his close friends cracked jokes, but he couldn''t hang out like other times. He refused the

    invitation to go out for a drink and hurriedly left the dressing room.

    At that moment, Annie, the concierge, came to visit. She gave Kwon Taek Joo an

    envelope of unknown origin and said that it was an item delivered to ''Philip'' by a certain

    customer. It was an envelope with the logo of a famous hotel nearby. Inside there is a

    card that is said to be the room key. Obviously from Zhenya.

    Kwon Taek Joo left behind his colleagues who were teasing him about whether he was

    going to meet his lover and went to the employee parking lot. Kwon Taek Joo drove an

    older SUV to a safe place. It''s a large mechanical car wash. He casually parked the

    SUV and went to the bathroom. When he reappeared, he had completely transformed

    from ''Philip'' to Kwon Taek Joo.

    He went to the parking lot opposite and got into a brand new sedan. Kwon Taek Joo

    immediately started the car and drove out, the destination was a luxury hotel with a logo

    printed on the envelope.

    That hotel is located in a prime location of Las Vegas. Here you can enjoy panoramic

    views of Las Vegas from anywhere in the 3,000 guest rooms. Just like that, cars and

    people came in and out continuously. Kwon Taek Joo was also a part there, he left the

    valet parking and went inside.

    When he arrived at the elevator reserved for guest rooms, the receptionist asked Kwon

    Taek Joo for the key card key. He obediently handed over the card key that had been

    given to him before. The employee then asked to wait a moment and called another

    employee. The new employee who appeared soon greeted him warmly and then led

    Kwon Taek Joo to the other side.

    The place he arrived at was in front of a separate elevator. It seemed that only that side

    was particularly quiet, and it was reserved for the VIP room only.

    When Kwon Taek Joo entered the elevator and inserted the key card, the light on the

    top floor button turned on. When he got there and looked out, there were only a few

    doors in the hallway.

    The room Kwon Taek Joo entered was likely 150 pyeong. It appears to be the

    Presidential Suite, which is said to cost between 30 and 40 million won per night. Three

    bedrooms, four bathrooms, spacious living room, private bar, terrace with comfortable

    sofa bed and private swimming pool. The interior in the old Persian style disturbs the

    view. Kwon Taek Joo looked at its scale and splendor and couldn''t help but sigh.

    The employee said to call them anytime if you needed anything and then quietly

    withdrew. Kwon Taek Joo glanced around and walked inside immediately without

    looking closely around the guest room. He chose a bottle of whiskey and a glass and

    sat down on the sofa in the living room. The seat cushions were gently turned to support

    his tired body in the most comfortable way.

    As soon as the glass was filled, it emptied in one go. The feeling of a full stomach

    immediately disappeared. But after just a little bit of comfort, complicated things

    appeared in Kwon Taek Joo''s mind. He poured and then drank the whiskey in the glass,

    his eyes always directed towards the door.

    Truly, there wasn''t a day that went by that he wasn''t seething over Zhenya. Even if he

    asked him not to interfere in work matters, Zhenya wouldn''t listen. If so, please let me

    know in advance. But that kid always surprises Kwon Taek Joo every time and

    everywhere. He didn''t know if Zhenya was trying to help or if he was trying to get in the

    way.

    That guy is a diplomat, but not careful at all. You won''t be able to forget that face once

    you see it, but Kwon Taek Joo has never seen him in disguise. It seemed that in

    Zhenya''s mind, there were no international problems that could arise for himself.

    Knowing that he was also very reckless in Russia, why should Kwon Taek Joo himself

    be more restless?

    Even ten fingers cannot count all the troubles from Zhenya.

    Were you working in Dubai at that time? Kwon Taek Joo tries to stay home as much as

    possible during holidays or his mother''s birthday, but at that time there is an emergency

    at headquarters and there is nothing he can do. At that time, Zhenya visited the house

    while Kwon Taek Joo was away. After that, he brought his mother''s homemade rice

    cake soup to Dubai. Have you heard that Koreans have to eat rice cake soup on the

    first day of the new year? I don''t understand how his mother and that boy can

    understand and talk to each other, while both speak in their native language.

    Because of the long flight, all the water in the soup leaked out. Just looking at it made

    me feel choked up, so Kwon Taek Joo refused and said he didn''t need to eat, but it was S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    useless. Zhenya immediately threatened Kwon Taek Joo, saying that if he ignored his

    sincerity, then his sincerity towards his target, him, would be in vain. And since the

    target had fallen into his hands, Kwon Taek Joo had no choice but to swallow the

    tteokguk that was as dry as a desert.

    Is that all? There was a time when Kwon Taek Joo had difficulty because he was

    Zhenya''s date. That''s when he took action in Iran, a traditional ally of North Korea. The

    two countries illegally traded weapons and supported the development of nuclear

    programs under the pretext of ''scientific and technical cooperation'' from a very early

    age. However, US intelligence agencies determined that exchanges between the two

    countries gradually decreased from 2013 onwards.

    But intelligence obtained from a UN member state directly contradicts that analysis.

    Until recently, the two countries actively traded arms and technology. Kwon Taek Joo

    also heard that a North Korean trading company called ''Cheongwoon'' in Tehran was

    relaying this. It was even discovered that parts related to ballistic missiles were

    transported through Air Koryo and Iran Air, the national airlines of both countries.

    To get clearer and more detailed information, Kwon Taek Joo approached the

    commander of the Iranian army. However, Zhenya appeared right at that place.

    Because the target recognized him a long time ago, even Kwon Taek Joo had to greet

    them. Zhenya blatantly introduced Kwon Taek Joo as his lover. When both the subject

    and Kwon Taek Joo were shocked, Zhenya corrected Kwon Taek Joo as his

    subordinate, saying it was just a joke. Because from the looks of it, Kwon Taek Joo was

    affiliated with the Russian embassy, so there was no doubt about the target.

    The risky campaign at that time was easily completed thanks to Russia and Iran having

    a common enemy, the United States, and the long-term cooperation between the two

    countries in the fields of security and economics. Of course, only physical suffering is

    reduced, but mental suffering is several times more than normal.

    Zhenya always interfered like that, ruining all of Kwon T aek Joo''s plans and very actively

    boasting that the mission was completed entirely thanks to him. In exchange, Kwon

    Taek Joo was taken to Ajinoki Island and forced to go on vacation many times. Because

    he always stopped by Russia after completing a mission, one time Chief Kwak asked

    about matters related to Zhenya. Manager Kwak also could not easily understand Kwon

    Taek Joo''s explanation. If it were Kwon T aek Joo and it were him, I probably wouldn''t be

    able to understand.

    He was very upset every time Zhenya came to his house to see his mother. Because it''s

    his nature to not care about what should and shouldn''t be said. One day, his mother felt

    uncomfortable communicating with Zhenya. She heard that there was a translation

    software and asked how to use it. Kwon Taek Joo was in a cold sweat. He said that

    Russian translation is not common, and even when there is translation software,

    mistranslations are common. His mother was very sorry but still obediently believed her

    son''s words. But Kwon Taek Joo also doesn''t know when that lie will be exposed.

    Suppose his mother tried to translate Zhenya''s words through translation software...

    Just imagining it made my head spin. Every day that passes is like walking on a

    tightrope.

    Looking back on the past journey, Kwon Taek Joo sighed. How did you get involved with

    such a troublesome guy? It was Kwon Taek Joo who was determined to tame Zhenya

    rather than continue running away from him. However it was more difficult than

    expected. Even though they''ve been together for a year, he still doesn''t know Zhenya''s

    whereabouts. Even when they were together all day, Kwon Taek Joo didn''t know what

    he was thinking.

    *..Anyway...where is this bastard and what is he doing?*

    He glared dissatisfied at the silent door again. It''s time for Zhenya to come back. Two

    hours after leaving the casino with Choi Yeon Hwa there was still no text from Zhenya.

    Did something happen? Since Kwon Taek Joo doesn''t know what he''s planning to do,

    it''s hard to guess what he''s doing right now. The two of them went out drinking together,

    but he wondered if that was all.

    (Definitely not just drinking. If you know what I mean, it stated ''that'' in the beginning

    about his need for sex.)

    Or roll around in bed again? Of course that is not surprising. Zhenya''s lower body is

    inherently promiscuous, and when it comes to women, he doesn''t care about age,

    nationality, or style. On the contrary, Choi Yeon Hwa is what Kwon Taek Joo needs to

    worry about.

    (Hahha! He doesn''t care about Zhenya but he worries for Choi Yeon Hwa. Haha, gosh I

    love Kwon Taek Joo.)

    He tapped his watch, the ticking second hand made him more nervous. Finally Kwon

    Taek Joo stood up from his chair with a sigh and strode towards the door. He wasn''t

    wearing camouflage or had any plans in mind, but he had to find Zhenya quickly.

    That was the moment he was about to grab the door handle, when suddenly the lock

    was unlocked and the door opened from the outside. The person who appeared in front

    of the hesitant Kwon Taek Joo was none other than Zhenya. He slowly observed Kwon

    Taek Joo, who had a serious expression, from face to toe.
