Chapter 9: New Employee 3

Translator: - - Editor: - -

ST Capsule's factory impressed everyone who was on the field trip. The whole process was done automatically, and the workers only did inspections. Machines moved, making capsules, which impressed Junhyuk. Getting hired by such a large corporation gave him one more reason to survive. He would survive at all costs.

Junhyuk looked at Mr. Jang, who was giving everyone a short briefing, and Eunseo, who was using her tablet. He thought about the question she had asked during the interview, and his answer to her question. His own thought had been correct. Existences even Junhyuk didn't know yet were summoning people, and they would probably summon more people that week. Many people would experience the summoning and the coma, which worried him.

That's when Eunseo turned her eyes slightly and saw Junhyuk. He looked into her eyes and smiled, but she seemed uninterested and looked at her tablet again.

Mr. Jang kept talking:

"So, it's a process that makes more than 10,000 capsules per week, but we might have to make more than that."

Every week, there were more than 6,000 cases of abnormal narcolepsy. Patients who fell under mass coma got their capsules from W.A.N.C.S., but, in private hospitals, patients got their capsules purchased by the hospitals, or the people responsible for the patients got it for them.

The number was not small, and they had to make more than 10,000 capsules per week. ST Capsule's factory excursion was over. Eunseo was standing in front of a bus.

"We will now go to the company training center. Everyone get on the bus."

Junhyuk got on the bus with the other members of Section Two. There were two small buses. Each section, and the staff members in charge of that section, got on one bus. Junhyuk was with Mr. Jang and two female staff members.

He got on the bus, took a seat and closed his eyes. He did not want to waste his energy by chit-chatting with the others during the bus ride.

In the past a few days, he had been really into exercising, so he couldn't sit still. Junhyuk was putting pressure on each part of his body during the ride.

Someone came and sat next to Junhyuk. The person's perfume tickled at his nose.

"Do you travel alone?"

Junhyuk did not feel good about being approached by Somin Jeon, the most beautiful woman among new recruits. It was a good thing to be approached by a beautiful woman, but it often meant trouble.

"Do you have something to say?"

"If I don't, can't I sit next to you?"

Junhyuk smiled and replied:

"No, I am trying to take a short nap."

"Really?"

Somin tilted her head, making her short hair flow through her shoulder. Junhyuk closed his eyes.

"Then, I will take that nap."

His closed eyes let her know that he was not interested in chatting. Somin looked at him with curiosity. She knew what her strength was. She was usually treated well by the people around her because of her beauty. Ever since she got hired by ST Capsule, demand for her went up even more, but now Junhyuk seemed indifferent toward her.

Junhyuk wasn't terribly handsome. He was on the handsome side, but there were many other people who looked better than him. However, Junhyuk had a certain intangible quality about him. He was confident, and his eyes were radiant, which made him look experienced.

Somin approached him first, but now he slept while sitting next to her, and her pride was hurt. So, she crossed her arms and closed her eyes. She felt her tension easing up and started getting sleepy.

Junhyuk saw Somin falling asleep next to him. What is she up to?

She fell asleep and leaned her head on his shoulder. It would be awkward if he pushed her away, so he let her sleep on his shoulder while he put pressure on the shoulder muscle of his other shoulder.

Artlan taught him that if he could control each part of his muscles it would maximize that muscle's power.

Each day, he worked out a different part of his muscles that wasn't required for fighting. If one exercised parts of his muscle that weren't normally used, he would be able to maximize his power.

So, Junhyuk was trying to learn which parts of his muscles he didn't normally use. There are 650 muscles in the human body. He used to think the body was just one huge muscle, but now he was trying to learn how to use each different part.

He hadn't even gotten around to half of them. So, he decided he should sleep less and learn more.

They arrived at the training center, and Junhyuk moved his shoulder.

"Miss Somin Jeon."

"Hmmm?"

She slowly opened her eyes and realized she had slept on Junhyuk's shoulder. She woke up abruptly, then pulled out a mirror and looked at her reflection.

She saw that her makeup was still on. Relieved, she sighed and got up.

"Why didn't you wake me up?"

"I was sleeping as well."

He was just saying that in order not to embarrass her too much. He got up and put on his backpack. Somin could see a stain on his arm from her makeup and felt embarrassed and got out of the bus.

Somin had drooled on his arm. He wiped it with a handkerchief, and got out of the bus.

He could see Mount Chun Ma.

ST Capsule's Training Center was on Mount Chun Ma, and its size was huge. There were only twenty trainees, and the training center was too large for only twenty people. Mr. Jang explained:

"This is ST Capsule's Training Center. It can accommodate up to 3,000 employees. First, I will assign sleeping quarters. After the rooms are assigned, we will lunch together. So, unpack your luggage and change into something more comfortable. You should find clothes in your closets. We will lunch in the cafeteria."

Eunseo and Mr. Jang left. There were guides who were directing the trainees. Junhyuk found a room for himself.

Each room at the training center accommodated two people. Junhyuk found out who would be his roommate and laughed.

"What is so funny?"

"Nothing. You can choose your bed first."

"I will sleep by the window."

Jangho unpacked on his bed, and Junhyuk took the bed by the door and unpacked. Jangho spoke first:

"Just because we are sharing a room does not mean we are friends."

"What do you mean?"Junhyuk asked.

Jangho answered while holding his glasses:

"Mr. Junhyuk Lee. Where did you go to for university?"

"I went to Han Jin University."

"That's about right. I graduated at the top of my class from Korea University with a degree in Business Management."

Junhyuk looked at Jangho again. He graduated at the top of his class from the best university in the nation. Of course he got hired with distinction. Perhaps, Jangho had always taken the number one place wherever he went.

"I didn't know that. Fine."

Junhyuk went to a university he couldn't even put on his resume.

"As long as you remain civil, I will also be civil."

"Thanks."

Jangho thought Junhyuk caught a lucky break and loathed him for that. He got hired because of his brain and hard work, but Junhyuk got hired because he saved some people and became an instant sensation on the internet.

Would he be a detestable person?

Junhyuk did not wish to waste his energy. He opened the closet and saw the clothes Mr. Jang had referred to. The clothes were white jumpsuits. He picked out a large one and put it on his bed. Jangho watched him undress.

Jangho looked at Junhyuk's upper body and was in shock. Junhyuk's muscles were moving all over his back. It had only been five days, but his muscles were exquisitely well-shaped. That happened because his mind had grown so quickly, and his body had to keep up.

Junhyuk got dressed, pulled the zipper up to his neck and looked at Jangho.

"I will go out first."

Jangho nodded, and Junhyuk went outside. Jangho looked at his own naked body. He thought he should exercise more. Up until then, he had only exercised to keep healthy, but changed his mind because of Junhyuk.

"I should exercise more. And I will."

Jangho's personality made it so that he had to be the best at whatever he did. When he went outside, he saw Junhyuk surrounded by women and heading toward the cafeteria.

"Hmph."

After lunch, they watched a short video on ST Capsule. After that, they also found out what they would be doing in the company. They spent hours developing their allegiance to the company. After dinner, Eunseo stepped forward.

"Everyone did well. We will continue tomorrow, so rest for the remainder of the day. Also, we prepared a round of drinks."

Everyone cheered. Mr. Jang took Eunseo's place and spoke:

"Let's all go to the cafeteria."

They all followed Mr. Jang to the cafeteria. It was a buffet. The chefs were roasting different meat and slicing tuna.

Junhyuk whispered:

"Is this the grandiosity of a major corporation?"

Mr. Jang laughed and said:

"Take your food and go over there to eat."

Mr. Jang pointed to a place right in front of a stage. Junhyuk thought he might have to perform. Nevertheless, he took two plates and started to put food on both of them. He was holding two full plates of food when he took a seat in the place where Mr. Jang had pointed.

Since he started exercising, he ate a lot. He thought it might be because of his increased muscle mass. He wanted to eat.

Junhyuk was eating quickly when a person took a seat right in front of him. He looked at the person, and it was Eunseo. She is holding a plate with salad and a few tuna sushi.

"Gak!"

Junhyuk choked and coughed from the surprise. It was none other than Eunseo Kim, why?

Eunseo frowned after watching Junhyuk cough out some rice.

"Do you want me to change seats?"

"No. Not, really."

Junhyuk wiped his mouth with a napkin, and Eunseo ate her salad. No one came over to their table since Eunseo was sitting there. She ate without speaking, and he continued to eat his food as well. After a while, Eunseo finished her meal first and said:

"W.A.N.C.S. offered you work as a public advertisement model, and you turned the offer down, correct?"

Junhyuk swallowed the food in his mouth and took a sip of water. He looked at Eunseo's eyes.

"Yes, I turned it down."

"Why?"

"I just want to live a normal life."

"Isn't it too late for a normal life?"

Junhyuk was unable to answer, and then Eunseo spoke softly:

"We will use you as a model. If you turn us down, there will be no reason for us to keep you here."

Junhyuk looked around. The two of them were alone at their table. The other people were far away and unable to hear what they were talking about.

"You mean for the company advertisement?"

"Correct."

"Did you hire me because of the SNS?"

"I can't say it's not because of it."

Junhyuk worried for a moment.

"Since I am an employee, the company can't pay for the work as a model, right?"

Eunseo smiled and answered:

"That's not the case. You will get paid for modeling."

Junhyuk sighed. He wanted to live quietly, and there was nothing he could do.

"I understand."

He conceded easily, and Eunseo smiled. She usually looked haughty, but then, looking at her smile, she didn't look bad.

"I was worried since you'd turned down the offer from W.A.N.C.S., but that's a relief."

Eunseo Kim extended her hand, and Junhyuk grabbed it. Everyone was looking, but he didn't care.

"You have a nice smile."

Eunseo stopped smiling and went away. He got up to get more food. He was still hungry, but when he returned to his seat, he saw Somin sitting in front of him, smiling.

"Can I sit here?"

He couldn't even eat his food in peace.
