Chapter 250.2

What would Lee Wooshin have advised me at a time like this? He would probably just give me a light smack on the forehead and say, “I know how to save my own life.” He was the one who taught her to climb back up even from the edge of a cliff.

‘Right. My husband is the strongest person in the world. Seoryeong straightened her back in the interview chair and gathered her mental strength. She had experience deceiving the man she loved, so facing Director Tae was nothing…’

The wife of Masca couldn’t just tuck her tail between her legs here. Just as her gaze was hardening like that of a woman Lee Wooshin, a sharp question flew at her again.

“Then let me ask something else. During a mission, you developed special feelings for a target you approached intentionally. However, the target is scheduled to be arrested the next day, and we must secretly withdraw from the scene. If you were Agent Joo Seoryeong, what kind of day would you spend with the target the day before the withdrawal?”

Her shoulders stiffened. Wait a minute, this is our couple’s love story. Her eyes widened slightly, but this time, the answer came to her quickly. Without realizing it, Seoryeong flushed her cheeks and calmly replied.

“I would have sex.”

Director Tae’s gaze intensified. Thank goodness. At least it didn’t seem like a wrong answer. Of course, this was the best answer demonstrated by Lee Wooshin, the ‘senior’ who had been a black agent.

The most unethical and perfect mission where he had disappeared, leaving his blind wife behind.

‘…Damn it.’

She truly love Lee Wooshin… but for the first time in a while, the corners of her mouth trembled.

“It’s a bit tiring, and I could have sex painfully and go to work like a normal person. I’ll make sure to lock the door properly and kindly remind the delivery driver to be careful. Then, I’ll withdraw without a care. I must disappear completely, leaving no traces behind so that no one can find me.”

Seoryeong monotonously recited this with her cold, expressionless eyes. It was annoying, but it was the best cheat sheet.

At that, Director Tae’s lips curled up. It seemed like a satisfied expression, but also a strange smirk.

Seoryeong clenched her fist tightly, then relaxed her grip. While it was just a simple pressure interview for her, wasn’t it a real situation for Lee Wooshin?

Suddenly, she felt pity for him. The anguish that Agent Lee Wooshin must have experienced seemed to have fallen upon her after a long time.

By the way, if this answer isn’t passing, then what would be?

‘Ah… I want to go home quickly. If I tell Lee Wooshin that I think I gave the best answer thanks to him, how happy would he be?’

She missed her husband. Just a few hours apart, and she longed for his scent.

However, despite her heated emotions, Seoryeong’s face remained calm. Director Tae let out a sigh-like laugh as he put away his pen.

“That mask isn’t bad. Then let me ask again. If both the target and your husband were in danger at the same time, what would you do?”

Seoryeong opened her mouth expressionlessly.

“…What? Don’t joke around. There’s no way my Seoryeong would say something like that.”

Lee Wooshin paused as he pulled on his leather gloves. He couldn’t believe Channa’s report. What did Seoryeong say?

—She said she would complete the mission to the end! But she wouldn’t abandon her husband comrade; she said she would find a way to reunite somehow!

‘Seoryeong, if I leave you behind, it means I’m turning my back on Han Seoryeong. I will always be there supporting you from behind.’

That was something Lee Wooshin had confessed to her once. It was a promise and vow that could not be broken between the two of them. Only Lee Wooshin understood her intentions.

No matter how much the mission interfered, she boldly declared that she would never give up her husband, her love. The evaluator would never understand the underlying meaning, but Lee Wooshin couldn’t help but smile at her following his lead.

The faith of his wife was this solid. No, it was so solid that it became a problem. But would she really push me aside? Despite his trembling heart, he felt like his footing was off.

“Still. Our pretty owl wouldn’t do that, would she?”

—Why do you keep denying it like a stupid kid since earlier!

Unable to hold back, Channa shouted.

—Isn’t this much better than a sister who’s lost her mind and defecting to the North!

“No, not that kind of logic. Isn’t it normal for Han Seoryeong to be focused only on me?”

“……”

“And our girl can’t even cater to others’ moods. How could she have chosen only the right things to score points? The owl’s tongue can only be touched by me; who the hell greased it? There are more than a few unsettling things.”

He bit the leather edges of the remaining glove and pulled it off. The gloves fell heavily onto the table.

Then, from the other end of the phone, he heard Chan-na’s voice exclaiming, “Damn it, damn it! If your husband was a spy, then who did you learn from, sister!”

Lee Wooshin pulled the phone away for a moment and looked down at a heavy object he had dragged into their newlywed home. The black bag crinkled as it made a sound.

—Ha. I didn’t want to interfere in your marital issues, but don’t let that petty mindset of a South Korean man be discovered. You’d be better off going straight through! If you keep doing behind-the-scenes work like this, you’ll be completely left behind on the path of family revolution!

“What?”

—You should definitely get her pregnant!! This is the method of foolish men, so it’s just right for you, Deputy Chief!

Lee Wooshin, who had been rubbing the back of his neck, froze.

—No matter how stubborn my sister is, she wouldn’t go into a dangerous situation if there’s a baby in her belly! So, don’t avoid it; charge in like a cannonball! You have to smash through with the spirit of revolutionary love!

The youthful voice rang out with a combative tone.
