Episode 151

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Hey. Look at this.”

 

“…Hyung?”

 

The cell phone screen he held out showed a cryptocurrency window.

 

Vivid green and red graphs against a black background. At a glance, it wasn’t fluctuating in units of ten million won, but in units of hundreds of millions.

 

In the upper right corner, text reading ‘Assets Held’ was visible,

 

“Uh-oh…!”

 

“That’s right, you bastard! Hundreds of millions!”

 

At the number 8,577,972,138, Gwak Cheolsik weakly collapsed to the floor. It was 8 billion won.

 

That’s right.

 

The cryptocurrency rich weren’t only at Cheongdam Fam.

 

“Shit, I could quit if I wanted to. You think I’d have nothing to eat if I wasn’t a detective? Damn bastards… I’ll definitely catch them like catching rats.”

 

The chief had also become cryptocurrency rich.

 

“You too, bastard. Hyung will get you some good clothes. Didn’t you go around practically naked recently? So what’s 5,000 won per piece. For a t-shirt.”

 

“Hyung, worry about your own clothes…”

 

“Hey. This is Louis XX.”

 

The beggar-like field jacket the chief was wearing was actually a luxury brand. The person wearing it just looked so shabby that even the audience was fooled.

 

“This?”

 

“This.”

 

Gwak Cheolsik pointed in disbelief. At his fingertip, the luxury brand logo on the chest of the field jacket the chief was wearing sparkled in the sunlight.

 

“Anyway, fuck it! Let’s go! Let’s cause some chaos!”

 

When ordinary citizens with nothing find courage, audiences feel moved.

 

“I’ll take responsibility! What the hell!”

 

When ordinary citizens with a lot act, audiences feel satisfaction.

 

“Hey, Detective Gwak. I’ve actually really wanted to say this. Ah, I’m really fucking cool.”

 

By twisting the cliché once, the entertainment value of became more clearly felt.

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

Finally, preparations were complete. If they caught the supplier of here today, it would be their victory.

 

Yeoreum, dressed up glamorously, was trembling. Detective Yoon brushed back Yeoreum’s hair and installed the radio.

 

“Relax your face.”

 

Detective Yoon grabbed the tense Yeoreum’s chin and turned her head left, right, up, and down. His gaze looking intently was deep.

 

As Detective Yoon took in her cute face from various angles, Yeoreum quietly asked why.

 

“Why are you doing this…”

 

“To get a good look.”

 

-Pretty girl…

 

“So the wireless line doesn’t fall out.”

 

The song that had somehow become Yeoreum’s theme song made audiences laugh with just one verse. Yeoreum fidgeted with her ear.

 

“Hey, come over here.”

 

Detective Gwak gestured and called to Yeoreum.

 

“How can I get there when it’s so cramped inside?”

 

“Just bring your head over here. Geez.”

 

Detective Gwak moved himself over, contorting his body with effort to get close to Yeoreum’s seat. Then he brought his face close and spoke with a serious expression.

 

“If it seems like it won’t work, come out. Got it? Don’t feel unnecessarily responsible.”

 

“…”

 

“If we couldn’t cover for you alone, we wouldn’t have started this job. Even if things go wrong, you’re not responsible.”

 

It seemed his heart was heavy about pushing Yeoreum into the tiger’s den. He was, after all, a detective who protected justice and the weak in South Korea, no matter what anyone said.

 

“That’s right.”

 

Detective Yoon also nodded. The other detectives nodded in unison to the same beat, as if agreeing.

 

“…”

 

Just as Yeoreum was about to be moved for a moment, Detective Yoon spoke.

 

“But you’re still responsible for my car damage repair costs, rental fees, and medical expenses.”

 

Crash. The sound of all the emotion not just breaking but shattering to pieces could be heard. Yeoreum managed her expression and took a deep breath.

 

“Ahhhh!!!”

 

Then she let out a battle cry so loud it shook the van. The detectives were stunned by the sudden deep voice.

 

“I’m going, let’s go.”

 

Having released her tension by shouting, Yeoreum no longer hesitated and got out of the van.

 

Club music could be heard. Yeoreum walked confidently toward Club D.K, where many people were lined up for entry today as well.

 

Her retreating figure looked spirited.

 

Like a kind of foreshadowing promising the audience that this operation would absolutely not fail.

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

The detectives remaining in the van were watching the interior through cameras attached to Yeoreum and Detective Yoon. The two had succeeded in infiltrating inside.

 

After all, it was thanks to Yeoreum being an influencer.

 

However, a problem arose.

 

“Hey! What’s this!”

 

They thought they could enter the same private room, but they couldn’t. Detective Yoon, caught by the guards, was forcibly taken into a different room.

 

Having entered the party, Detective Yoon couldn’t cause a disturbance, so he resolved to buy some time.

 

The place he entered was a room full of women heavily drunk on alcohol.

 

“Kyaak! Totally my type!”

 

“I shouldn’t meet you at my age. Just say one word. Okay? Then I’ll change your watch!”

 

It seemed they had ordered the guard to bring the shirt-wearing glasses guy, as a handful of tips were scattered the moment they saw Detective Yoon.

 

Instantly surrounded by women he couldn’t even suppress, Detective Yoon asked incredulously.

 

“…Are you in your right mind?”

 

However, Detective Yoon’s attitude only caused more cheering.

 

“One more time! One more time!”

 

In slow motion, Detective Yoon was shaken around by the women’s hands. Elegant classical music played incongruously.

 

When Detective Yoon tried to push them away, the women gripped his hands even tighter.

 

Riiip-!

 

Once again, his clothes were torn off. Detective Yoon expressionlessly raised both hands to cover his chest.

 

Watching Detective Yoon, Detective Gwak sighed.

 

“What the hell is this guy doing? Ah. This is why I should have gone instead.”

 

Hearing this, the detectives quietly looked at Detective Gwak’s face.

 

“…”

 

“…”

 

“…”

 

And all three quietly shook their heads. It seemed he wouldn’t even be able to get in.

 

“Well. I would have been caught too if I went. Since they seem to prefer older men.”

 

“…”

 

“…”

 

“…”

 

They shook their heads again. Even if they preferred older men, it probably wouldn’t be him.

 

“Oh? We’ve arrived!”

 

Meanwhile, the camera attached to Yeoreum finally reached its destination. Inside the massive club, a place so complex inside that you had to go around and around several times to enter.

 

And there’s an elevator going down to the outside, making it the easiest place to escape from.

 

“Is he there? Is K there?”

 

“It’s too dark to see clearly!”

 

Among all these party rooms, they had to find the supplier ‘K’.

 

They thought he’d be easy to find since he was an SNS attention-seeker, but he gradually stopped posting real-time stories or uploading posts.

 

As if taunting the detectives to try and catch him, he would tag past locations or upload old videos to complicate things.

 

Because of this, they had already come up empty-handed several times.

 

“Zoom in!”

 

The screen switched to inside the room where the supplier was sitting. The place was really spacious, with smile balloons floating around everywhere.

 

This was a two-story room. On the 1st floor sofa: someone clapping and laughing alone, someone spinning in place while laughing, someone banging their head against the wall while laughing…

 

Everyone was laughing. The entire space was filled with nothing but eerie laughter. Due to the high ceiling, the piercing laughter echoed.

 

That’s when a voice calling Yeoreum was heard from the 2nd floor.

 

“Oh, new face-. Hi?”

 

Most of the men were awake.

 

Most of the women were asleep.

 

The audience naturally tensed at this bizarre scene. To be precise, Yeoreum was the only ‘sane’ person in this space.

 

“You’re K, right?”

 

But Yeoreum walked in casually as if nothing was wrong. The face of the man sitting in the seat of honor was too dark to see clearly, but judging by his short nod, that person was K.

 

As she sat on the plush sofa, the surrounding gazes pierced down observingly. Yeoreum began the acting she was given.

 

“What? Surprised because I’m pretty?”

 

To deliberately avoid making eye contact with anyone, Yeoreum took out her cell phone from her bag and turned on the camera as if annoyed.

 

“I’m kinda. Better in person, right?”

 

And she turned her head this way and that as if checking her appearance. She didn’t forget to casually touch the radio while tucking her hair behind her ear.

 

Yeoreum touched the radio while pretending to fix her hair.

 

Tap tap. Twice.

 

“He’s there! K is there!”

 

The detectives in the van got excited hearing those two sounds. Yeoreum had promised to exchange signals with the detectives, expecting the interior would be too dark to see clearly on camera.

 

“Okay.”

 

Confident that K was there, Detective Gwak raised his fist slightly. Finally, the moment the audience had been waiting for.

 

“Faster than the law. Let’s go.”

 

It was time to smash their glamorous kingdom.

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

“But this is strange…”

 

Someone muttered while looking at Yeoreum. It was because the nervous Yeoreum had been saying whatever came to mind. She had mistakenly thought it would just pass since everyone wasn’t in their right mind.

 

“I haven’t gotten a good look at your face? Doesn’t seem like you come here often.”

 

At those words, gazes slowly pierced in. Heavy, tense music flowed out as if tension was settling down.

 

Clink… The sound of ice melting and clinking in the whiskey glass was particularly loud.

 

“…Ah, annoying. You gonna keep nitpicking about looks?”

 

But the tension was brief, as Yeoreum shot back just as roughly as they did. She was successfully killing time without incident.

 

The detectives approached from behind the building. This was to block K’s escape route via the elevator.

 

“What?”

 

“Uh. Why that expression. Your customer service attitude is terrible.”

 

The guards watching the back door took threatening expressions upon seeing the detectives. Just as they were about to approach Detective Gwak who had suddenly appeared and was speaking informally.

 

“Urgh…!”

 

With a satisfying crack sound, they were instantly subdued by nearby detectives.

 

“What, what?”

 

The flustered guard also fainted from Detective Gwak’s single takedown. Scenes fitting the title began.

 

“C1, C1, this is V0…”

 

Detective Gwak, who had choked and subdued even the guard radioing somewhere, continued.

 

“All clear.”

 

The detectives who had instantly knocked several guards to the floor casually loosened their shoulders. They were different from the sloppy and stupid detectives from before.

 

The detectives’ steps were dignified as they pulled entry cards from the fallen guards’ pockets. Sharp electric guitar sounds could be heard.

 

Stimulating expectations that something would be shown.

 

The movie was heading toward its climax.

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

Detective Yoon also escaped from the women with good timing. It was actually fortunate. With his clothes disheveled and lipstick marks smeared on him, he looked like someone heavily drunk on alcohol, fitting well with this place.

 

“Where did she go…”

 

Unlike Yeoreum, Detective Yoon couldn’t hide the radio in his ear. Although he had a location tracker attached, he didn’t know where Yeoreum was. Detective Yoon imitated a staggering gait as much as possible.

 

Actually, the deeper inner parts of the rooms had relatively lax surveillance. The fact that everyone had made it this far meant they were all on the same side.

 

“Can’t help it.”

 

Detective Yoon took a deep breath. At this point, he had no choice but to open doors one by one.

 

Click-!

 

Click-!

 

Click-!

 

Detective Yoon opened and closed room doors several times. The people inside weren’t in their right minds anyway, so they didn’t pay much attention to Detective Yoon.

 

“Uhahaha…! Hihi! Hihihit!”

 

Everyone was laughing like crazy. It created a chilling scene contrasted with the smile balloons inside the rooms. The moment Detective Yoon grabbed another door handle and turned it.

 

Click-!

 

“Uh…”

 

He saw the Commissioner’s face there. While hurriedly closing the door again, no one gave Detective Yoon a glance.

 

Because the Commissioner and everyone else in that room were already crazy too. The sound of the door turning was easily drowned out by the insane laughter.

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

Now Yeoreum’s face showed undeniable tension. Gulp. The sound of swallowing was particularly loud.

 

Near K, who was looking at Yeoreum, dozens of smile balloons floated around. The balloons were tied together at the ends, making them look like a folding screen.

 

“Don’t take them out one by one boringly, just give me everything.”

 

Through the radio in her ear, she could hear the detectives’ footsteps. They were running.

 

Ahahak! Look at this kid. So small yet fearless.”

 

Coming quickly.

 

“The lady is speaking~. Ah, sorry!”

 

Just hold on a little longer.

 

“Changseok, she said give her the whole thing, so give it! Don’t be petty like that!”

 

Just a little longer…

 

Rustle.

 

An envelope containing smile stickers was thrown in front of Yeoreum. The moment Yeoreum grabbed it.

 

Bang-!!!

 

They finally came.

 

“Ah shit, this is fucking complicated. You bastards. What are you gonna do if there’s a fire with the building twisted up like this? Looks like we need to install emergency exit routes on every wall!”

 

“This looks like illegal construction too.”

 

Detective Gwak and Detective Yoon, seen in backlight, looked like saviors. The rim of light shone brightly beyond their shoulders.

 

“Ah, why are you only coming now!!!”

 

Yeoreum shouted tearfully.

 

Though it was an angle looking down at the 1st floor, the two detectives looking up confidently didn’t look small at all.

 

“Ah… so fucking noisy. Who are you guys?”

 

K asked, frowning.

 

“You idiot! Can’t you tell by looking! Who else would it be!”

 

Now that her allies had arrived, Yeoreum shouted triumphantly with full confidence. Everyone covered their ears at her tremendous vocal power. K got annoyed.

 

“Be quiet. Please!”

 

At those words, Detective Gwak looked at Detective Yoon.

 

“He’s telling you to button up your clothes.”

 

“Shut up….”

 

It was a situation completely devoid of tension. Relaxed laughter filled the movie theater, born from the absolute certainty that anyone could see their side would win.
