Thud.
“Hmm…?”
The reporter was getting into his car but jerked around irritably at the hand blocking him.
“Ugh, what the….”
And then….
“…Huh?”
“……”
“……”
He froze when he saw two men in black suits glaring at him.
“……”
One of them was a hulking figure with a bald head, and he had a scar on his forehead. The man behind him looked like a handsome but very intimidating black leopard.
The reporter realized immediately from their appearances.
These guys…
Gangsters…
While it was hard to believe that gangsters still existed in 21st century South Korea, they perfectly fit the role at that moment.
W-what do these gangsters want from me…?
He thought he had seen it all in his reporter’s career, but this primal fear was something he couldn’t handle.
Feeling like prey in front of a predator, he nervously asked the men, “W-who are you…?”
“……”
The man who seemed to be in charge shot him a fierce look before stretching out his hand.
“Business card.”
“…Eh?”
“I said, give me your business card.”
“…Ah, y-yes….”
Rustle.
With no clue why, the reporter hurriedly pulled out his business card and handed it over.
The man took the card, glanced at it, and then ominously continued speaking.
“Entertainment Daily’s Kim Cheol-soo, is it…?”
“Ah… Yes, that’s me…”
“If an odd article regarding Ha Ye-rin comes out today… we’ll meet again.”
“…Huh?”
Suddenly hearing Ha Ye-rin mentioned, the reporter felt momentarily dumbfounded.
Then….
Crinkle.
Eek!
The man placed his hand heavily on the reporter’s shoulder and started applying immense pressure.
“And if you ask another dumb question, I won’t hold back any longer.”
“Urrgghh…!! I-I understand…!!”
Before overwhelming violence, the reporter’s sense of duty meant nothing.
He quickly nodded in submission.
Only after that did the man remove his hand from the reporter’s shoulder and gesture towards the reporter’s car.
“Got it? Now, scram.”
“Yes, yes…!”
At that, the reporter hopped into his car in a panic.
However, even as he got in, his curiosity, which was one of the main reasons he became a reporter, was kicking in.
