Codename-Anastasia-Chapter 61 - 4.15 Honey Trap 3

"Hmm?"

Kwon Taek Joo's eyes opened wide. Whether it looks familiar or not, the ceiling quickly fills the view. How did he get here? Kwon Taek Joo recalled the memories of last night. He remembered leaving the house and getting into Zhenya's car, but he didn't remember getting out of the car himself. It seemed like his consciousness was cut off midway. That's also because he hasn't been able to sleep properly for a long time recently.

Kwon Taek Joo rolled his eyes and looked around. The place where he was staying seemed to be the Zhenya family's bedroom. He had only been here once before going on a business trip. so he was still a bit confused. Zhenya was nowhere to be seen, and Kwon Taek Joo couldn't feel his presence either. Or maybe Zhenya isn't home. He vaguely speculated but had no intention of getting up to confirm. Zhenya's body odor was still wafting onto the bed sheets. Regardless, he buried his head in it.

Suddenly the blanket slipped off. Even though it was summer, he suddenly felt unusually cold, because Kwon Taek Joo didn't have a single piece of clothing on.

Thinking back, his mind felt refreshed as if he had just experienced a deep sleep, but his body felt stiff and sore as if he had struggled all night. And that discomfort is especially concentrated in the groin.

Kwon Taek Joo sat up and immediately grabbed his aching waist. He groaned and checked the area between his legs. It was unexpectedly clean. However, everywhere he can see there are colorful hickeys. The insides of his thighs were covered in dark red bruises. Did Kwon Taek Joo not know that he was bitten like this? He seemed dumbfounded by the loss of feeling in his body.

Kwon Taek Joo tried to stand up from the bed but his legs had completely lost all strength. Just sitting down made the inside of his butt numb beyond words. Even without careful inspection, it is clear what condition he is in.

"We did it, right?"

Kwon Taek Joo muttered uselessly. And it didn't seem like it was over in just one or two sessions, but he actually slept very well.

"What happened?"

Kwon Taek Joo looked down at his lower body and asked. There was no response, so he could only feel it by feeling. Looking at it without any vitality, it was enough to see that it had fallen asleep like him. Damn Zhenya, he's the only one who's happy.

He was so thirsty, Kwon Taek Joo went into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. Inside was empty, with only a few bottles of bottled water lying around. Kwon Taek Joo was grateful for that simple thing, then opened the bottle and took a sip. Every time the collarbone moves, the skin around the neck with countless bites becomes itchy.

Kwon Taek Joo wiped his wet lips with the back of his hand while observing the inside of the house. The house looks like a model house. The bed, sofa and TV are all fully equipped but there is absolutely no sense of living here, as if they have never been used since they were purchased.

Kwon Taek Joo threw himself down on the sofa that had a slight leather smell. Where did that guy go anyway? It was a weekday, but he was sure that Zeana was not at work at the embassy.

Not knowing how long he would wait, Kwon Taek Joo turned on the TV to watch. The noon news is being broadcast. Kwon Taek Joo absentmindedly looked at the screen and suddenly remembered his mother. Thinking back, he hadn't been able to contact her until now after saving he would be home late.

Kwon Taek Joo went straight to the bedroom and found the phone. The battery is less than 10%. Sure enough, he received a missed call from his mother. a text message asking where he slept and if he went to work. Kwon Taek Joo pressed the call button. Not long after. "Hello" his mother picked up the phone.

"Mom, it's me. Yesterday I drank too much so I didn't go home. They didn't let me go home until morning. I'll go take a sauna and then go straight to headquarters."

"Oh my God. You are not allowed to eat fake wine soup."

"I will go eat now."

"How much did you drink to make your voice so hoarse? Are you tired?"

There is another reason why Kwon Taek Joo's voice is hoarse, but even he couldn't say it. He just blamed everything on alcohol and reassured his mother that he would be home soon.

When the call ended, Kwon Taek Joo felt a presence at the front door. He looked outside, Zhenya had just entered the house with a heavy plastic bag in his hand, it looked like he had returned from the convenience store.

Zeana placed his purchases on the table and stared at Kwon Taek Joo. For some reason, his face seemed happier than yesterday. He put down his phone and approached Zhenya.

"Did something happen last night?"

"It's because it hasn't been filled in for a while? It seems tighter than before. I was only going to do it twice, but because of that hole.."

Zhenya was shameless and didn't change his expression, Kwon Taek Joo immediately raised his hand to cover the bastard's mouth. The guy immediately licked his palm, then grabbed his hips and pressed on Kwon Taek Joo's lower abdomen.

"If you feel sorry, you can do it again now. The day is still long."

"I'm trying to enjoy the long day."

Kwon Taek Joo tried to defend and push away Zhenya's chin that was stuck to him. Zhenya gently lifted Kwon Taek Joo up and placed him on the table. Things bought at the convenience store spilled out, some of them fell to the floor making loud sounds.

When Kwon Taek Joo reflexively turned to look at the falling object, Zhenya grabbed his chin and turned him towards her. Blue eyes filled his face, eyes looking straight at him looked quite serious. Every time he looked at that gentle face, Kwon Taek Joo felt like he was disarmed. He often gets carried away without even realizing that his heart rate and pulse are becoming irregular.

This time is no different. His heart softened, and he also relaxed the hand that was pushing Zhenya away. The sensitive guy noticed that change and slowly approached. A sigh came out as the parted lips were falling. At a distance where the bridge of their noses were about to touch, Kwon Taek Joo stared at Zhenya's lips, and he looked straight into Kwon Taek Joo's eyes, his thin, broken breath trembling uncontrollably.

Zhenya continued to kiss him forcefully. Zhenya's upper lip surrounded Kwon Taek Joo's lower lip and then pressed firmly on his face. Kwon Taek Joo bit his upper lip and grabbed Zhenya's face. He naturally leaned back as if clinging to Zhenya. Chok, chok, the sound was repeated over and over again from two lips that met and gradually wrapped tightly around each other. His body also gradually grew hotter.

It would be great if he could focus on that, but the sound of the unturned TV kept entering his ears. It was news that the North was recently conducting a missile test in the presence of the supreme leader, and when the government expressed regret, public opinion poured out strong criticism. . It's not a matter of one day, but whenever the relationship with North Korea becomes tense, Kwon Taek Joo has no choice but to worry. It's like an occupational disease of yours.

"..ah.. Come on..."

Kwon Taek Joo muttered like an ominous omen. Zhenya was kissing his chin and neck, finally looking up at the TV. On the screen, North Korea's missile launch data is being broadcast. Zhenya went straight to the TV and unplugged it. He pulled it so hard that the plug shook.

At that moment, Kwon Taek Joo's phone vibrated. He awkwardly checked the sender and then sighed as if the ground was disappearing.

Zhenya turned him around and pulled Kwon Taek Joo's legs and placed them completely on the table. He leaned towards him then turned his head and tried to kiss him again. The lips without hesitation fell down to meet Kwon Taek Joo's lips, it wasn't his lips, but his stiff cell phone, because Kwon Taek Joo suddenly put the phone between his lips.

"Headquarters called."

Kwon Taek Joo announced with an annoyed expression. He gently pushed Zhenya's shoulder then stood up and walked down the table. Zhenya's dissatisfied eyes followed him.

--

Kwon Taek Joo got dressed and answered the phone. When he buttoned up his shirt, the call ended. Feeling Zhenya's gaze, Kwon Taek Joo turned his head. Zhenya has been standing in front of the door ever since he reported the sad news.

"I have to go to headquarters. They called"

There's no way headquarters wouldn't know that Kwon Taek Joo just returned yesterday. Yet they still call. So, either there was a problem with the previous job, or another urgent task arose. Whatever it is, it wasn't going to be fun.

Kwon Taek Joo left the house without looking back. The door made a loud noise and then closed. Finally, only Zhenya was left alone in the large house. He stared at the ramen packages scattered on the floor with dissatisfied eyes. So what's the point of coming to Korea? Looks like Zhenya has to prepare countermeasures.

--

"Senior, don't you need a lot of rest?"

Yoon Jong Woo was there to welcome Kwon Taek Joo when he entered the headquarters. The boy glanced at his frowning face for no reason. He calmly nodded and put his arm around Yoon Jong Woo's shoulder. He shouted soundlessly as he tensed his body and then grunted and groaned. He ignored Yoon Jong Woo when he couldn't leave the overworked gunman alone and personally took him to the manager's office.

Chief Kwak is the new person filling the vacancy of Chief Lim. Although he is not an agent like Chief Lim, he is so knowledgeable about North Korea that he is in turn rated as the Minister of Unification. If there is one thing in common with Chief Lim, it is the harsh way he treats his subordinates.

No matter how physically strong Kwon Taek Joo is, his blood will run out after a few months without rest. People can die from overwork, right? He arrived in front of Chief Kwak's office and proved that he would not be assigned the new assignment.

Kwon Taek Joo took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

He regained his composure and went inside. When Kwon Taek Joo, who had been waiting for a while, appeared, Chief Kwak glanced at the chair opposite. He quietly walked there, then gently bowed his head and sat down.

First, Head of Department Kwak expressed his admiration for the achievements he has achieved in recent times.

"It was a lot of work to get the final iob done safely."

"Yes, that's what I should do."

"I heard that you are very proud of your achievements, but the more I meet you, the more I understand that."

He laughed and changed the subject, asking, "Have you seen the news today?"

"Is it because of the missile testing conducted in North Korea?"

"Right. Recently, intelligence information obtained shows that the locations of missile launch pads in North Korea have been changed a lot. Just yesterday, it was reported that the launch pad was aiming into the sky, and before that a missile test was conducted under the supervision of the supreme leadership. I don't know if it's related, but I heard that a high-ranking North Korean official will soon be making an unofficial visit to China. You go and find out what's going on."

"You mean right now?"

"I knew you were tired when you got back yesterday. But what if the problem is urgent?"

Kwon Taek Joo raised his eyebrows looking very sad, but he seemed to have no intention of handing over the job to someone else.

"I left because you told me to. but I don't know what to say to my mother."

"If necessary, I will even give you an official document in disguise. You can also get help from the Russian embassy where you work."

"That work.."

"What's up? You seem quite close to him, right? The two often come and go together privately"

"You seem to know a lot.."

"I'm just trying to be friendly with my subordinates."

Chief Kwak smiled sarcastically. It seemed like the raccoon had left and the snake had arrived. He didn't want to talk too long so he quietly stood up and nodded. Manager Kwak saw Kwon Taek Joo off as he left the office without making a sound and said, "Let's go drink together when you get back."

Kwon Taek Joo sighed. Right now he doesn't know if he lived for work or work to live, He doesn't want anything but just wants to rest. Once this mission is completed, it looks like he will have to take a leave of absence. How should he explain this to his mother? What would he say to Zhenya? It's so stuffy. If he confessed honestly, he might be tied up. Wouldn't it be better to announce it after he left?

Kwon Taek Joo considered many different reasons and then went straight home. It was disappointing that his mother was not at home, it seemed she had aone out to the market. It also didn't look like Zhenya had come to the house. Is he quietly waiting for Kwon Taek Joo at his house?

He packed his things with tons of thoughts in his head. His mother did not return when Kwon Taek Joo was about to leave. And there has been no communication from Zhenya either.

--

He called a taxi and told the driver to go straight to the airport. Looking out the window for a moment, he called his mother.

"Yes, son. What?"

"I stopped by the house but mom wasn't home, I'm gone now. I probably won't be able to go home for a while because I'm busy with work. I told my mother last time. There is a large-scale event organized by the embassy for a month. This business trip will be extremely busy because I have a lot of work to share with the Russian department, not many people are going to work and the time zone difference."

"Uh, you must be very tired. Mom, it's okay, don't work late and eat well."

"It's just a little uncomfortable. It's a job that has to be done every day."

Maybe his mother will make some side dishes, right? Has he bought new clothes for his mother yet?

"Food will be served and you've got everything you need. I'm just calling to say don't worry if I can't contact you for a while. I hope you take good care of yourself too"

"You talk like you'll be gone for a long time"

"Mom, I have to go. I will contact you later."

"Yes, work hard."

After the call ended. Kwon Taek Joo continued to look at the phone. Since he was leaving right now, he should have contacted Zhenya. The problem is that no excuse fits him. Normally, Zhenya would try to interfere by forcing him to refuse the new mission, and he was also uncomfortable with being apart all that time.

After thinking for a while, Kwon Taek Joo tried calling Zhenya. However, for some reason, there was only a continuous ringing sound.

Of course that guy doesn't always wait for Kwon Taek Joo. He may not answer the phone once or twice. But he was now worried, because it rarely happened before and Zhenya always contacted him first, and he also had no contacts in Korea other than him. Is he sulky? Kwon Taek Joo thought about leaving a message, but decided against it. If Zhenya was truly sulky, it seemed like he should reassure him with words rather than making a unilateral announcement, and also to avoid future consequences.

The taxi quickly arrived at the airport. Kwon Taek Joo checked in early after receiving pre-booked tickets at the headquarters.

Before entering the departure hall, he called Zhenya again. But this time, the other end of the line was also silent. After going through the scanner, he continued to try calling when he reached the boarding gate. Many times but it's all in vain.

Kwon Taek Joo lifted his sleeve to check the time. It's time to board the plane. He didn't know how many days this mission would last.

Finally, he touched the call button again but could not hear Zhenya's voice. Looking at the call history that has been accumulated since now. Kwon Taek Joo feels like a stalker without cause.

"I guess he can't answer."

He gave up, but still couldn't take his eyes off the phone. Even though he didn't turn off the power, how could Zhenya not answer the phone until this hour? Of course, even if something goes wrong, Kwon Taek Joo should worry about someone else, not Zhenya.

Even so, the mouse pressed the call button as if thinking about the cat. "Please answer the phone." Kwon Taek Joo muttered. At the same time, a voice instruction came out asking everyone to board the plane as soon as possible. And on the phone, there were still just indifferent beeps that kept dropping.

(Cute how Kwon Taek Joo is the mouse and Zhenya is the cat)

Suddenly the beeping stopped. Then came the breathing sound of the man he had been waiting for all this time. Zhenya is outside and there is a lot of noise. The other end of the line spoke before Kwon Taek Joo could open his mouth.

"I'm busy now. Let's talk later."

"What?"

As soon as he asked again, the call ended. Kwon Taek Joo looked down at the phone bewilderedly. Call connection time is less than 3 seconds. Needless to say. he felt quite embarrassed. Is Zhenya busy, is he going to the embassy? Luckily, there didn't seem to be any problems.

Kwon Taek Joo left a message saying he was going abroad for a while for work, then turned off his phone and got on the plane.

--

The flight is about two hours to Beijing. Kwon Taek Joo joined the crowd and went to the immigration checkpoint. An airport employee stands holding a sign in the reception hall. Kwon Taek Joo's name is openly written on it.

"Mr. Kwon?"

He approached Kwon Taek Joo, asking if he could predict his facial features. The feeling of deja vu came rushing back. This time too, Kwon Taek Joo did not hear that anyone special would come to welcome him. He opened his cell phone, but there were no messages on it other than the text message sent when entering a foreign country.

Has his existence been exposed? If so, it is necessary to confirm who is trying to reach him and for what purpose. The other person already knew about his identity and appearance, but he couldn't refuse blindly

After pondering, Kwon Taek Joo slowly nodded.

"Please follow me."

He went first. Kwon Taek Joo followed silently and took out his prescription glasses and put them on. If he breaks the stem of the glasses and pulls it out, a needle containing a powerful anesthetic will come out. Kwon Taek Joo can't afford to assemble a gun right now, so he's trying to prepare for an emergency with that.

Kwon Taek Joo left the crowded scanner table, and the surroundings became even more deserted. The employee walked ahead of him to the elevator and occasionally checked to see if Kwon Taek Joo was following him. Kwon Taek Joo followed him up to a mezzanine, where there was a waiting room. It doesn't even have a name so it seems like it's used by a designated few.

There was not even a single person around at this time. The staff member guided Kwon Taek Joo to that place, knocked on the closed door, bowed politely and left. After confirming that he had gone down, Kwon Taek Joo quietly took off his glasses. Then he bent the glasses and held them tightly in his hands.

When he opened the door, the panoramic view of the runway outside the window filled the view. And an unexpected person was sitting in front of Kwon Taek Joo.

"Why don't you put it on?"

He folded his glasses and held them in his hand. He immediately realized Kwon Taek Joo's ulterior motive and even laughed at him, It's Zhenya.

The boy who should have been in Korea was sitting with his back facing the runway of Beijing airport. Kwon Taek Joo couldn't understand.

"What's going on?"

"Want anything to drink? We still have a little time before we get on the plane."

Zhenya didn't answer the question but just sat there relaxing. He snapped his fingers signaling him to come closer. Kwon Taek Joo walked over as requested and sat down on the opposite side.

"Explain. Why are you here?"

Zhenya threw a paper envelope at Kwon Taek Joo. A series of confusing situations. He frowned. Zhenya nodded towards the envelope and told him to check its contents, then poured the wine into a glass and enjoyed its aroma. Kwon Taek Joo looked at him suspiciously for a moment then opened the envelope first.

He took out the papers inside and flipped through them without thinking much. But not long after, Kwon Taek Joo's eyes widened.

"This.."

He stared at Zhenya, as if trying to make sure he wasn't mistaken about what was in front of him. Zhenya quietly raised the corners of his mouth and took a sip of the sparkling wine in the glass.

No matter how many times Kwon Taek Joo rereads it, it cannot be a mistake. That document is why he's here now. The inside story of North Korea's recent moves is fully written there. Where the hell did Zhenya get this from? Kwon Taek Joo doesn't even think he used a legal way to get it.

So, is this the reason why he couldn't contact Zhenya, why there was so much noise around him when he picked up the phone and why Zhenya asked to talk later because he was busy?

Kwon Taek Joo rechecked the report with confused eyes.

"..Can I give this to you?"

"Is there any reason why it wouldn't work?"

Zhenya calmly asked the question. Kwon Taek Joo wonders whether a Russian ambassador like him can exchange information freely for the benefit of another country.

Of course, it's just a precaution because it's impossible for Zhenya's every action to be tied to national security. But his goodwill could be a major diplomatic issue.

Kwon Taek Joo couldn't shake his rampant anxiety. However, he could not ignore the sincerity that Zhenya had worked hard to achieve.

"Do you really accept it? Don't say anything later."

"Only you are like that, Kwon Taek Joo."

When did he say that? It was obviously blown away by the wind.

Anyways.. What now? When everything suddenly went smoothly, things naturally became quite boring. Kwon Taek Joo also didn't know how to inform headquarters about this.

During tasks, intermediate situations need to be reported. This is to minimize the possibility of missing information and prevent leaving the site of operations. It seems like Kwon Taek Joo should contact them that he has arrived safely.

"Wait a minute."

He apologized and stood up. At that moment, Zhenya reached out and grabbed Kwon Taek Joo's phone. Then in the blink of an eye it was in the ice bucket and wine was poured on it.

"What are you doing!?"

Shocked, Kwon Taek Joo begins to rescue his phone. Zhenya also took his hand.

"It will be troublesome if you call them."

"What are you talking about? You crazy bastard!"

"You have no commercial ethics at all. I bought you time, so how should you repay me?

Since Kwon Taek Joo has completed what he had to do, he can now use his time as he wishes. Surely if he handed over these documents to headquarters, he would only receive empty praise and a new mission would be assigned immediately. The hamster wheel will spin continuously until the busy work is finished.

Kwon Taek Joo relaxed his body. Even the phone that has crossed the river and can't turn back can be easily given up. After all, thanks to Zhenya, he was able to get valuable information without having to lift a finger. Furthermore, because of the call from headquarters, he couldn't keep his promise yesterday. It seemed like it would be fine to comply with Zhenya's request this time. For that reason, he also had a little desire to rest.

Kwon Taek Joo held Zhenya's hand.

"So, what do you want to do?"

A satisfied smile appeared on Zhenya's lips.
