Episode 152
It was the moment the two detectives were about to step onto the 2nd floor stairs. Urgent footsteps followed behind them. The guards, having somehow received word, rushed frantically into the private room.
“Take care of them-.”
K waved his hands playfully and spoke to the guards in a teasing manner. Immediately, fists came flying toward the two detectives.
‘As expected, they’re good at this.’
Reporter Wi admired the refreshing action visible through the screen. It was a composition that followed the traditional buddy cop formula exactly. Front and back, with their backs to each other, they were dealing with the enemies placed before them.
“Kill them!”
“Look at this bastard’s way of talking. Let’s add murder charges.”
It was Detective Gwak who suppressed the gang member swinging a weapon while shouting, with a heavy punch accompanied by a joke.
“You fucking bastards…!”
It was Detective Yoon who looked at such gang members like bugs and suppressed them with clean self-defense techniques. Detective Yoon didn’t say anything and only used his body, but every time his disheveled shirt fluttered, the audience’s gaze became pleased.
‘This is going to be proper promotion for Yoon Hyeonjo.’
Reporter Wi had no doubt that this segment would soon become the thumbnail for InTube promotional videos.
“This is V0. Clean up the situation.”
K smiled and contacted someone. It wasn’t difficult to predict that other gang members would soon come rushing in.
Yeoreum crawled under the table and wriggled toward the detectives. Her thoroughly frightened face was clearly visible on the screen.
Yeoreum, who had her lips pressed together in a straight line pitifully, appeared utterly pathetic and cute. The audience was accepting this Yeoreum as ‘one of us’ rather than a hopeless influencer.
Bang!
“Waaaaah!”
The sound of something breaking rang out. In front of Yeoreum, who had barely managed to crawl out from under the table, Detective Yoon and Detective Gwak were standing.
“Hey. Stay quietly over there. Play with the balloons.”
Detective Gwak gestured to Yeoreum. With Yeoreum crawling diligently toward the corner with balloons in the background, Detective Yoon and Detective Gwak gestured to K.
“You come over here.”
K laughed emptily at those words. Then he grabbed a balloon that was placed beside him. Just grabbing one of the balloons floating around K brought about ten others trailing along.
Click, click. The zippo lighter in his other hand made an irritating sound.
“I’ll praise you for coming so diligently. But?”
K grinned and lit the zippo lighter. Then he picked up a napkin that was on the table. The two detectives, sensing something, shouted.
“Hey, you bastard!”
“Fuck!”
K threw the burning napkin directly at the Funny Balloon. The flames spread explosively.
“Kyaaaak!”
Yeoreum screamed. At the same time, clunk. A door in one corner of the 2nd floor room opened. There was another emergency exit route.
“You can’t catch us-.”
K leisurely poured whiskey from the table as well. To make the flames even fiercer.
Then he grabbed the bag containing Funny Capsules and ran leisurely toward the emergency exit. The gang members around him also fled following K.
Pop!
“Kyaaaaaaak!”
Due to the Funny Balloons placed throughout the 1st and 2nd floors, the flames continued to spread.
The detectives couldn’t immediately chase after K. Most of the people left here had unclear consciousness, and if they left them behind, they would surely die.
“Fire extinguisher! Fire extinguisher!”
“Fucking hell…”
The two detectives set out to find a fire extinguisher before the flames grew fiercer. Detective Gwak first took off his jacket and beat at the fire on the balloons. The yellow smiley balloons were melting.
“Huu…”
The moment the tearful Yeoreum tried to go further into the wall corner, clunk. Something caught.
“This is…”
What she discovered with teary eyes was a fire extinguisher.
“Here! Fire extinguisher here! Here!”
When the brightly smiling Yeoreum shouted, Detective Yoon immediately ran over. Click, the series of actions of releasing the lock and extinguishing the blazing flames was truly like a scene from a movie.
As if to enjoy Detective Yoon’s appearance, the screen went into slow motion.
“Are you filming a movie by yourself? Ah fuck, hurry up and put it out so we can chase them!”
When Detective Gwak complained, Detective Yoon frowned.
“You should go while I’m putting it out! Really, that head of yours, ah fuck.”
“Ah, that’s right.”
Detective Gwak ran out without hesitation. To catch K.
* * *
Tap tap tap tap, clack clack clack clack.
K urgently pressed the elevator button. But the red light didn’t come on. It was dead.
“Hey, why isn’t the elevator working?”
He needed to take the elevator to quickly reach the underground parking garage. K, irritated at the gang member, had no choice but to run to the stairs. The sound of several feet wearing expensive dress shoes echoed in the emergency stairwell.
Bang-Bang-Bang-!
That’s when it happened. A sound like someone coming down almost one floor at a time could be heard.
“You bastard- Stop-. This is the police-.”
“Ah, what’s with that bastard!”
At Detective Gwak’s voice, K panicked. He gestured to the gang members, and they went back up the stairs to try to stop Detective Gwak.
However, Detective Gwak kicked their faces in time with jumping over the stair railing. Two men immediately tumbled down the stairs.
“Go all at once, come on! All at once!”
Then the remaining gang members all rushed at Detective Gwak at once.
“Yeah. Thanks for the consideration. I’m touched.”
However, the rest were all easily suppressed as well. Thanks to the quick suppression, only K remained in an instant. K pulled out a knife modified from a telescopic baton from his chest.
Clack-! When he lightly swung the hand holding the baton downward, the knife inside gleamed sharply.
“Are you blue collar? Making all kinds of industrial tools.”
“Shut up, bastard.”
K wielding the knife showed signs of having learned somewhere. His hand sharply aiming for the carotid artery was not ordinary.
Since what K wanted was escape, he went down the stair railing while swinging the knife. So they couldn’t catch him.
“Even so, you can’t catch me!”
Detective Gwak, who grabbed the wrist of the giggling K, answered.
“Yeah. I caught you.”
Then he performed a brilliant shoulder throw. K, who had his back slammed into the stairs, groaned in pain. Detective Gwak opened the bag that was in K’s hand.
“…What is this.”
But there weren’t many capsule envelopes remaining. K, sprawled on the floor, giggled and laughed.
“I told you, you can’t catch us…”
Something remained in Detective Gwak’s mind as he looked at K’s bloodied face. The screens overlapped. Suspect K. The pants boss of Club D.K and the person in charge of supply and distribution for the …
“What’s this? You bastard, did you get laser treatment? No. The mole is on the left.”
And with a mole under the right eye.
“Why would it be Club D.K… not just K…”
The K that Detective Gwak was currently holding didn’t have a mole under his right eye. His mole was under his left eye. Like a mirror image.
“It’s short for Double K, you bastard. Kheuk…”
K was a twin.
“Do you know how to spell double? Tell me.”
“…”
“He doesn’t know shit but these types always like English.”
“I don’t know! Whatever, hey, I’m going to get compensation for property damage, mental damages, and treatment costs for the kids. Do you even know who you’re messing with?”
K revealed his vileness exactly like a nouveau riche.
“Cutting you down is nothing for me. You know?”
“Uh, I don’t know.”
In a world where money could solve everything, K, who had nothing to fear, continued to rage. Though his face was covered in blood, his eyes still gleamed with contempt for his opponent.
“Do it by the law, you fucking bastard!”
“By the law?”
“Yeah, by the law!”
When Detective Gwak punched K in the face, he immediately passed out.
“This is faster than the law.”
Detective Gwak put handcuffs on him and immediately grabbed his radio.
“Start putting out an APB on all vehicles owned by K… No wait, all vehicles transferred to corporate names! Block the airport!”
* * *
The fire extinguisher finally ran empty. Even so, weak flames still remained.
Detective Yoon, who hadn’t heard that there was one more K, stripped the jacket off the man lying on the floor. Then he used that outfit to put out the remaining fire.
“Detective, let’s go! Right now!”
But Yeoreum still had the radio in her ear. As if she were part of the detective team, Yeoreum shouted to Detective Yoon.
“They say they haven’t caught the other K yet!”
“What are you talking about?”
“K is one-plus-one! Ah. There’s one more.”
Detective Yoon seemed to quickly understand what she meant. He immediately took the radio from Yeoreum’s ear.
“Where do I need to go?”
Yeoreum snatched the jacket from Detective Yoon’s hand and started hitting the burning floor with it.
Detective Yoon fixed the radio to his ear. He spoke to Yeoreum, who had already taken off her dress shoes and was diligently putting out the fire.
“I’ll be back. Be careful of the smoke.”
Watching Detective Yoon quickly disappear, Yeoreum looked around.
There happened to be a pretty designer scarf. Yeoreum slowly pulled the scarf from the fallen woman, soaked it in water, and wore it like a mask.
“Ugh…”
When one of the fallen gang members showed signs of getting up, she struck his head with the dress shoes she had left on the floor. Since she didn’t control her strength, a loud crack echoed.
“Urk.”
Looking at the gang member who had fallen asleep again, Yeoreum thought “just in case” and struck the heads of the nearby gang members once more each.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Hearing those sounds, Yoon Hyeonjo’s legs picked up speed as he ran.
* * *
At that moment, the other K was driving hard. Leisurely turning the steering wheel of his super car, K chuckled.
“Ah, why is everything so easy?”
To K crossing Cheongdam Boulevard, this whole world seemed like his.
The hundred-million-won watch on his wrist, thick gold ring, designer shirt, belt, shoes… all money earned far too easily.
“The world works with just money, you know?”
As K mockingly spat out those words about the foolish world, a red light came on in front of him. Just as he was about to ignore the traffic light and press the accelerator harder.
“Traffic violation fine. 70,000 won!”
K turned the steering wheel as someone’s arm from the back seats roughly choked his neck.
