87. If You Caused Trouble, You Should Pay the Price (1)
Crash!
Kim Gap-yong, kicked by Bulgwang-dong Gasoline’s foot, rolled across the Hospital Lobby.
Kim Gap-yong’s Wife screamed, and Kim Gap-yong’s Coworkers’ faces hardened.
“Why are you hitting someone who’s just sitting there!”
“What kind of person are you?”
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline shouted angrily.
“I came to collect money! Why!”
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline walked over swaggering with one hand shoved deep in his pocket.
It was to kick the fallen Kim Gap-yong again.
“Hey, Kim Gap-yong. Are you really not going to pay back my money? Huh?”
“It’s only been a month and a half since I borrowed the money, why…!”
“The interest has already doubled the principal.”
“What? This is really too much!”
“Private Loans interest is always like this, what can you do about it. If you find it annoying and disgusting, you shouldn’t have used Private Loans in the first place.”
Wait. This is a scene I’ve seen somewhere before.
When I shook hands with Kim Gap-yong at Taeseong Chemical Factory.
These were the words Bulgwang-dong Gasoline said when he came to find Kim Gap-yong, who was desperately clinging to the Doctor because of Hospital bills.
“You’ve become quite skilled at hiding like a little rat these days? Damn it, if you’re not going to work, when are you going to pay back my money!”
There’s no way Team Leader Kim wouldn’t go to work.
Just moments ago, his Coworkers were testifying that Team Leader Kim works hard from early morning to night shifts.
Suddenly, I remembered what Bulgwang-dong Gasoline said when he was spying on Kim Gap-yong.
-Where did he say his workplace was? Oh, right. Taeseong Chemical! Okay, got it. Just wait.
He clearly didn’t know that Kim Gap-yong had moved from Taeseong Chemical to Taeseong Construction.
“Pay back my money, quickly. If you don’t want to see something really ugly. If I decide to cause trouble, your Daughter will be kicked out of the Hospital immediately and end up on the Street, is that okay with you? Heh heh heh.”
“No, that can’t happen! Sir, please don’t do this…!”
“Don’t do what? Do you still not understand why I came here?”
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline kicked Kim Gap-yong’s chest with his shoe.
“Ugh!”
“You have money to pay for your daughter’s hospital bills, but no money to pay back what you borrowed? Does that make sense? Wouldn’t that piss me off? Wouldn’t that make me lose my mind?”
“Team Leader Kim!”
Kim Gap-yong’s coworkers rushed out in a group and blocked Kim Gap-yong’s path.
They all looked furious from head to toe.
“What’s so deadly about borrowing money that you have to beat someone up?”
“Call the police! That brat needs to eat prison food for assault!”
“Borrowing money isn’t a crime, but hitting people is definitely a crime!”
But would arguing right and wrong like that work on loan sharks?
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline flicked his earwax.
“If you keep provoking me, nothing good will come of it. You don’t seem worried about your daughter. Boys, looks like we need to have a little ceremony here today!”
At Bulgwang-dong Gasoline’s shout, two more loan sharks in flashy clothes joined in.
‘What a mess. Acting like typical vicious loan sharks.’
One guy had a perm and was loudly chewing gum, while the other had not only his hair but even his eyebrows completely shaved and wore a thick gold necklace.
“Wow, big hospitals really are different. How much money must they make to put on charity events like this?”
“If they had extra money lying around, they should’ve paid us our share first. This is disappointing, leaving only us out like this, tsk.”
The loan sharks suddenly rushed forward and yanked down the placard hanging on the wall.
They tore down wall posters and ripped off the “Taeseong Family Patient Support” sign decorated with colored ribbons and balloons, stomping on it with their boots.
Hospital Director Song’s expression hardened.
“Wh-what are you doing!”
Not content with causing a ruckus in the hospital lobby, they were trying to ruin the event that Hospital Director Song and Taeseong Hospital had prepared.
For Hospital Director Song, this was something he couldn’t just stand by and watch.
“Who do you think you are to cause trouble at Taeseong Hospital!”
“And who are you? While I’m being nice, third parties should stay out of it, okay? Don’t butt into other people’s business and get hurt. Got it?”
“I’m the director of this hospital! Is that enough?”
The loan sharks flinched.
The thugs glanced at Bulgwang-dong Gasoline.
“Hyung, he says he’s the hospital director.”
“What if they refuse to treat you when you get stabbed somewhere?”
“Shut up, you brats!”
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline shouted angrily.
“We just need to not cause a disturbance inside the hospital! Let’s drag that brat outside!”
“Security Guard!”
Director Song called out urgently.
‘The security guards are outside the hospital. They’re keeping watch over the Wookwang people who are waiting with projectiles, looking for a chance to cause chaos.’
Sure enough, Bulgwang-dong Gasoline raised both hands with a sly grin.
“Let’s talk this out.”
He hadn’t used the good method of dialogue with Kim Gap-yong, but now he was proposing conversation with Director Song.
“I have nothing to say to you! Security Guard!”
“Geez, I told you the security guards aren’t here right now! Why do you keep calling them? We just need to drag this brat out! Right?”
But what was this?
There was a group of men in black suits walking toward us with stern expressions.
‘Why are Yoo Jong-tae and Taeseong Group’s 5th Security Team coming out here? And dressed more carefully than usual?’
What Yoo Jong-tae was holding was the instant camera Father had brought.
What the Taeseong Group Security Guards were holding were flower bouquets.
It seemed they had come to congratulate me on the event I was hosting.
“We’re Taeseong Group Security Guards. Who’s causing trouble in our hospital?”
“What the hell! Why are Taeseong Group Security Guards coming out here!”
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline couldn’t hide his bewilderment.
The thugs hesitantly stepped back.
“H-Hyung. There are too many security guards.”
“Let go of our Taeseong family member’s collar first. I’ll count to three. One, two.”
“I let go! I let go! Hey, Kim Gap-yong, you better know how lucky you are today!”
Thud!
“That’s enough, right? So now you’re done with your business?”
“Call the police! Drag those brats out right now!”
“Damn it, just you wait!”
Crash bang clang!
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline irritably kicked over the platform with Taeseong’s logo on it.
“Damn it, what bad luck today… Gah!”
Whack.
Uncle Cheol-gu struck the back of Bulgwang-dong Gasoline’s head.
The bear-like man’s Full Swing made Bulgwang-dong Gasoline’s head snap around.
Crash bang clang!
Unable to withstand Uncle Cheol-gu’s strength, Bulgwang-dong Gasoline rolled noisily across the floor.
Whack! Whack!
The thugs were no exception.
“Who the hell are you!”
“What the fuck! You really want to fight?”
“Should we?”
Whack! Smack! Whack!
Under Uncle Cheol-gu’s fists, Bulgwang-dong Gasoline and the thugs foamed at the mouth and collapsed.
Having been properly hit in the solar plexus, they seemed to be gasping and unable to breathe properly.
‘Those skills that took down armed communist infiltrators and North Korean spies weren’t for nothing.’
This level of skill was among the top tier even among the Back Alleys organized crime groups.
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline gritted his teeth and shouted.
“Fuck, who are you to suddenly jump out like that…!”
“I’m from the KCIA.”
Uncle Cheol-gu thrust his ID Card forward.
The KCIA effectively held prosecution and investigation powers, and in the 70s was an infamous place that even the police and Prosecutor’s Office deferred to.
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline drew in a breath.
It was as if an earthquake had struck his pupils.
“Who paid you to cause trouble here? Are you a commie?”
In an era that cried out anti-communism, if you were branded as a spy or commie, you’d die without anyone knowing.
In the Back Alley World, public authority like the Police or Prosecutor’s Office barging in was like a catastrophe.
When that happened, even Horse Head would tuck his tail and run, let alone Bulgwang-dong Gasoline and some thugs.
“N-no, we’re not!”
“We just came to collect money!”
“Doesn’t seem like it. If you just came to collect money, you wouldn’t deliberately cause a ruckus at Taeseong’s event. Right?”
“Th-that’s…!”
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline’s face turned pale.
Only now did he seem to notice what they had kicked over and torn down while causing their ruckus.
A platform with the Taeseong logo was scattered about, placards with the Taeseong chairman’s name were torn, and wall posters were ripped off.
Uncle Cheol-gu bared his gums and grinned wickedly.
“Right? You spy brat who extorts money to send to North Korea.”
“No! Se-send money? This is unfair!”
“Yeah. It’ll all come out during interrogation.”
Rumors were rampant that if you got dragged to the KCIA, you’d confess to crimes you committed as well as ones you didn’t.
The thugs quickly crawled over and grabbed Uncle Cheol-gu’s legs.
“Hyung, please give us one chance!”
“We were wrong!”
“We didn’t know. Who would deliberately try to ruin Taeseong’s event, huh?”
Uncle Cheol-gu crouched down in front of Bulgwang-dong Gasoline and grinned wickedly.
“Let’s continue our detailed conversation in the KCIA Underground Interrogation Room.”
“R-run!”
“Where do you think you’re going!”
Uncle Cheol-gu immediately grabbed Bulgwang-dong Gasoline by the scruff of his neck.
Whack!
From the blow to the back of his head, Bulgwang-dong Gasoline foamed at the mouth and lost consciousness.
Dragging the limp Bulgwang-dong Gasoline along, Uncle Cheol-gu smiled innocently.
“Yoo Jong-tae, take care of dragging those thug brats along.”
“Yes, Colonel Pak!”
The Taeseong Group Security Guards had already subdued the thug loan sharks.
The thug loan sharks desperately tried to escape, but the Taeseong Group Security Guards’ skills were not to be underestimated.
“If you get caught trying to run, you’re really dead.”
“…!”
“If you’re confident, try running. I’ll count to three.”
“N-no sir!”
“We’re innocent! Please believe us!”
The Thugs stopped resisting and were obediently captured by the Taeseong Group Security Guards.
Only then did Uncle Cheol-gu show his gums and grin wickedly.
“Hospital Director, was it? You’re holding a good event with good intentions, but what’s the point if these brats ruin it? Please continue. Hey, Yoo Jong-tae.”
“I’m handling it right now! Who do you take me for, an idiot? Stop nagging me!”
Quick-witted Yoo Jong-tae had already set up the Platform and was reattaching the Balloons and letters that had fallen to the floor back on the wall.
Kim Gap-yong quickly helped with the work, and the people who were former Taeseong Chemical Employees rapidly cleaned up the scene.
Director Song wiped his cold sweat with a Handkerchief.
“Young Master, I’m truly sorry about this. We’ll start the charity event right away… Huh?”
By the time Director Song was looking for me, I had already disappeared.
* * *
Uncle Cheol-gu frowned deeply and sniffed.
“The gasoline smell is really strong. What the hell do these brats do?”
Bulgwang-dong Gasoline, who had already fainted while foaming at the mouth, couldn’t answer.
“Loan shark brats who go around collecting money are walking around smelling like arsonists. Something’s fishy about this.”
Uncle Cheol-gu searched through Bulgwang-dong Gasoline’s pockets.
“Huh, a brat who doesn’t even carry Cigarettes is walking around with a Torch? This is really suspicious.”
Uncle Cheol-gu crouched down and slapped Bulgwang-dong Gasoline’s cheek.
“Hey, wake up.”
“Mmm! Just a little more sleep…”
“Is this the time to be sleeping?”
Smack!
I just hit his other cheek, but Bulgwang-dong Gasoline, who was trying to regain consciousness, started foaming at the mouth and passed out again.
Blood streamed down from both of Bulgwang-dong Gasoline’s nostrils.
Broken teeth rolled out as well.
“Damn, did I fail to control my strength again? No wait. Isn’t this brat just built too flimsy?”
“Uncle Cheol-gu!”
“Hey, kid, go back inside. You shouldn’t be watching this kind of thing. Geez, what a mess.”
Uncle Cheol-gu was dragging the limp Bulgwang-dong Gasoline and walking briskly toward the Taeseong Hospital back gate.
“Uncle, wait a moment!”
There was still something I needed to resolve with Bulgwang-dong Gasoline.
Earlier I had dragged them out by talking about spies, but Uncle Cheol-gu wasn’t the type of man to take loan sharks to the KCIA while framing them with false accusations.
‘I need to tie up loose ends with Kim Gap-yong. Even though he retreated obediently this time, he’ll come back next time and persistently harass him.’
Kim Gap-yong was a righteous man who risked his life to save his colleague’s life.
I didn’t want him to be constantly tormented by Bulgwang-dong Gasoline over some measly private loan.
Uncle Cheol-gu, why is this man so fast even when dragging someone along?
Even though I ran at full speed until I was gasping for breath, I couldn’t catch up!
“Uncle, really just a moment…!”
The moment I touched Bulgwang-dong Gasoline’s body, a blue light flickered before my eyes.
The exact same phenomenon that occurred when I glimpsed Uncle Cheol-gu and Kim Gap-yong’s futures happened.
* * *
Splash!
It was the Seobinggo Water Torture Room.
Previously, Uncle Cheol-gu had been tied up there receiving water torture, but now Bulgwang-dong Gasoline and his thugs were tied up side by side, soaking wet.
One of the trembling thugs couldn’t hold back and screamed out.
“We didn’t set the fire intending to kill people from the start! It’s true!”
