Secretary Gwanggong's Survival Diary-Chapter 48

But it was clearly different from before. The back of my neck where my hand was resting was trembling as if convulsing. The wall-like steps were going up and down just like that... .

“Why, why are you laughing...?”

It seemed like he was holding back a lot of laughter. As expected, his face, which had been buried in his chin, was lifted again, and his expression was unusually full of laughter.

With a 'crack!' sound, stars appeared before my eyes for a moment. The pain that felt like my skull was being split came a beat later.

"evil!"

I had to press my forehead and suppress the pain from the sudden attack. The crazy kid suddenly tried to smash someone's head. I think I just hit him lightly, but since it was Yoon Tae-oh, I think there might have been a real hole in his head. It hurts so much that the corners of my eyes are wet.

“I don’t know what on earth you were thinking.”

Still smiling, he pulled my arm and helped me up. He forced me down and up, making me feel like I was Yoon Tae-oh's doll.

“It hurts!”

“You did the right thing, Secretary Kim. If I was really out of my mind, why did you come in here alone?”

“That’s it....”

“I told you, I’m a person who has my own tastes.”

What is this dog's head?

“Me, I have one too? My taste!”

“I’m talking about the taste that you like better than Han Hae-jun.”

“...It’s a preview.” novelbuddy.cσ๓

"anyway."

Why don't you forget that the ears and the noodles are still in this place?

“Why are you sweating so much?”

“...Mom, it’s because you’re not feeling well. It’s hot....”

“It might be a little embarrassing, but can you step aside for a moment?”

Yoon Tae-oh left the room first. I thought he would ask more questions and dig deeper, but his reaction was unexpected.

“Ah... fuck....”

Left alone in the room, I hugged ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) my knees, buried my head between them, and hugged the back of my head. Even though I was alone, I wanted to be alone. I hadn't done anything wrong, but why was I so embarrassed that I wanted to die?

❖ ❖ ❖

“There’s nothing unusual, so just wait.”

Only after the sweat that had been pouring down from my body had cooled did I come out of the room. Seeing Yoon Tae-oh leisurely talking on the phone while sitting in the living room, I thought he had contacted the secretary waiting outside.

“The passionate employee has come out.”

“...Stop it, really.”

“Would you like a drink?”

“I’ve confirmed that you’re okay, so I’ll go now.”

I thought about it for a long time in the room. Should I just break the window and run away? But I didn’t know what Yoon Tae-oh would do to me later, so I decided to say something and run away. I didn’t want to know what was going on or what was happening. I just wanted to get out of this place, so I walked towards the front door.

“It won’t be fun if you keep being so rude.”

“...I just came to check on you, sir.”

Without looking back, he took out the excuse he had prepared. If that's what I'm saying, what can he do? I don't know why that bastard was so pretty that he sacrificed his body to save her. I should have just let him die.

“Really? But why don’t the kids outside know that Secretary Kim is here?”

"...yes...?"

...Why did you check that, Tae-oh?

“What if I said, ‘Secretary Kim snuck into the villa and attacked me while I was losing my senses due to the pheromones running wild?’”

“When did I!”

“I forcibly took over on a day when the fever was boiling and not under control....”

“Representative!”

What the heck is that crazy kid talking about...?

“Come here quietly.”

I was so shocked that I turned around to leave the villa. That was something I never expected.

"three."

While I was watching Yoon Tae-oh, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and leisurely swishing his glass around, a countdown began for no apparent reason.

"two."

He put the glass of wine down on the table and picked up the cell phone next to him. He looked at me once and saw the way his hands were manipulating the phone. The nonsense he had just said came to mind. Regardless of whether it was true or not, what if that story came out of Yoon Tae-oh's mouth...?

"one."

There was no time to think long. I ran at full speed and stopped in front of Yoon Tae-oh.

“You’re late.”

His fingers were still manipulating the phone. I snatched the phone from his hand as I watched him touch the call button. I repeatedly tapped the end call button.

“What the heck are you talking about?”

“So, when I call, you have to come running.”

“That... wasn’t too late, I arrived at set when they said ‘seet’...?”

“Sit down and stop talking nonsense.”

The plan to escape the villa was abandoned. I don't know what kind of a bastard he is, but I don't have the ability to act against Yoon Tae-oh's will. Either by force or by mouth. I sat down on the spot where he was pounding away.

“Unless you want me to think about what Secretary Kim was going to do, you’d better stay quiet. Besides, you probably don’t have the confidence to walk out of here and explain what happened to your team members.”

Although Yoon Tae-oh was speaking softly, it was clearly a threat. If he behaved recklessly one more time, the nonsense he had just said would become true and spread. He was going to make him into a shameless secretary who sneaked into the villa and attacked the CEO who had collapsed because of the pheromones that were running wild.

This is worse than saving a drowning man and then asking him to hand over his bundle. Isn't this the opposite of pushing me on my back and making me fall into the water while I watch?

“...It’s not Rut.”

The situation up to now has raised one suspicion. No matter how many tranquilizers he has taken, he cannot be this normal. Looking at his calm demeanor, it is hard to believe that he is a traitor who has fallen into a cycle.

“I said I was a rut? Didn’t Secretary Kim say that?”

“...If you look at the cycle, it’s true, but you’re so normal.”

“That’s right. I was also wondering if Secretary Kim was a rut, but it seems like it’s not yet the case.”

Let's get rid of the nonsense first, and this is really strange. The cycle of the dominant alpha, not the hot one, is very regular. The margin of error is only about one or two days. Aside from the frequent cycles, the cycle is maintained at a constant level, so it is possible to prepare in advance.

“...I think the representative knew.”

“Just about. But I thought it might be because they might come suddenly.”

Yoon Tae-oh's words as he slurped down the golden liquid did not seem like a lie.

“Haa... Anyway, that’s fortunate.”

Did Yoon Tae-oh originally plan to drink with me? He poured the liquor into the empty glass on the table with a couple of ice cubes. Because I was unnecessarily nervous, I felt like I had to drink something to quench my thirst. The liquor that went down my throat felt particularly sweet.

“But... didn’t the CEO say that earlier?”

"what."

“You said you contacted Kang Hae-woon.”

“I called before coming in here. You don’t need to come.”

Maybe it was because the alcohol had taken effect, but the shameful and embarrassing feeling had subsided a little. Or maybe it was just because Yoon Tae-oh stopped mentioning what had happened in the room earlier. In any case, I was finally able to think rationally.

“Why? You didn’t know it wasn’t a rut back then. Actually, it might be okay now, but... what if a rut starts tomorrow?”

If Yoon Tae-oh had been sure that it wasn't Rut before he came into the villa today, he wouldn't have been locked up in this solitary cell. And he didn't even call Beta to calm his excitement. His words that he came here because the cycle could come suddenly are probably true.

“Well... I’ll try to endure it with medicine.”

"...yes...?"

“I was going to do that.”

He poured more alcohol into my empty glass. Unlike me, he drank the unmixed liquor like water, and there was a strange smile on his face. Why did he suddenly change his mind when he had told me to prepare Beta in an angry tone?

“Why...?”

“Do I have to explain that to Secretary Kim?”

“...No, that’s not it....”

It's ridiculous to worry about him. How can he be so unlucky with every word he says? But now, thanks to the alcohol, I'm not that scared of Yoon Tae-oh. Well, it wasn't like I couldn't say anything.

“That’s really hard. How can you survive on medicine alone when there are so many pheromones? It would be even harder if you’re not just a traitor but a dominant one....”

“What the heck? You’re talking like a traitor.”

“That’s not it....”

At that moment, I felt so empathetic. I couldn't help but think about how hard it was to endure the cycle with drugs. From Beta's perspective, it might seem like the traitor was living a blessed life, but when you think about the period of the cycle when you can't think rationally, it wasn't necessarily the case.

“He’s not my style.”

“...Kang Hae-un...?”

“What’s with that expression?”

Originally, people's tastes change from time to time. And Yoon Tae-oh's tastes in the opposite sex changed a little more easily. However, they still maintained external similarities. Kang Hae-woon is also a character who does not deviate from that mold.

But for some reason, this time again, Yoon Tae-oh says he is not to his taste. This is the second time, following Han Ye-jun.

“Do you think I’m a person with no taste? To the point where I’d cycle with just anyone?”

“...That’s not it....”

“Right. So that’s why Secretary Kim dared to come in here.”

“Sir! I, I told you that’s not true...!”

Oh, why is the story going back there again. I really want to run away.

“And if you had contacted me in advance, I wouldn’t have come all the way here.”

“That’s... I didn’t contact you on purpose, actually.”

The playfulness disappeared from Yoon Tae-oh’s expression. His sharp gaze directed at me remained fixed for quite a while as if he was trying to see through something. Then his expression relaxed and he opened his mouth again. He didn’t contact the outside world on purpose...?

“When I called, they said they had already contacted us, our company.”

“Kang... Haeun...? Should we contact you?”

“The location has changed, to Russia.”

When I heard Yoon Tae-oh’s serious voice, my thoughts got tangled for a moment. Who on earth...? What would have happened if Yoon Tae-oh hadn’t changed his mind about calling Kang Hae-woon?

“It’s true that I contacted you because I had no intention of calling you anyway, but no matter how much I thought about it, it felt strange.”

“...So you didn’t contact the secretary either? Because you didn’t know who contacted Kang Hae-woon...?”

“Because I don’t know who I can trust. I can’t be wrong because of something like a rut, but I also don’t know what he’s aiming for. He might try to cut my throat during a rut.”

When I hear him, I understand. The moment I entered the house, Yoon Tae-oh attacked me aggressively.

“So... you set a trap?”

“It’s nothing grand. I just thought that something like that might happen.”

A face comes to mind. The old man who is the general secretary. He is the only one among the secretaries who would do something like that. I have a strong suspicion that he might have wanted to ruin the rut cycle of Yoon Tae-oh that they were in charge of. However, I couldn't tell Yoon Tae-oh that story without any evidence. He might actually be a third person.

“...Then I’m not a suspect either?”

I brought it up because I thought it was reasonable. Considering that he didn’t even let me go to the rut site and didn’t even say anything to Kang Seok-ho, who could be considered his confidant, I guess he assumed everyone was a suspect. However, a hollow laugh flowed from Yoon Tae-oh’s mouth at my question.

“Secretary Kim, do you think you overestimate yourself? What on earth could you do to me with a body like that? Oh, maybe that wasn’t your intention.”

I poured the soju into my mouth and sat up because the conversation topic had changed so unintentionally and awkwardly. I felt like my life would be shortened if I talked to him for too long.

“What are you doing?”

“...I want to go.”

“Didn’t Secretary Kim just say that? Couldn’t the cycle start for me tomorrow?”

“Why is that...?”

Yeah. Just let the cycle explode tomorrow and you'll be completely destroyed, you little shit. Now that I think about it, it'd be better if this kid was swallowed by the pheromones that were running wild. And this fucking world needs to end too.

“Didn’t you say how you were going to survive without Beta?”

“...You said you were holding on with medicine....”

“I changed my mind.”

Should I call him a reed-like brat? Yoon Tae-oh put down his glass, talked nonsense again, and got up to follow me.

“I don’t think it’s necessary, just like Secretary Kim said.”

He smiled and lightly touched my shoulders.

"yes...?"

This time too, it was a laugh that made the viewer feel very uncomfortable. Something was uneasy... .

“Secretary Kim is worried about me like this, so there’s no need for that.”

The story of Secretary Kim appearing as she pleased came out.

“So just stay here.”

... really fucking, Secretary Kim’s story.
