Regression Life of a Retired S-Class Mercenary

chapter 12



Episode 12. fly up

Kang-soo left the office and sat in the business class of an airplane several kilometers above.

And the owners of the front and rear seats by the window were Yoo So-hyun and Kim Bo-ran.

“Um- huh? Are you awake?”

Yoo So-hyun, who had been sleeping, woke up and saw Kang-soo, who was sitting there.

“I didn’t sleep.”

“Continue on the plane? why?”

“That is my job.”

The aircraft’s destination was Los Angeles.

The reason for going there is simple. It’s because Yoo So-hyun’s drama audition was caught in Los Angeles.

“How can you not sleep?”

“Even on an airplane, it’s not 100% safe.”

“Isn’t that too tight?”

“This is what we have to do to be safe. It’s quite louder than that, but he sleeps well.”

aaa-

In the meantime, Kim Bo-ran lay down on his seat and even snored.

People around him even wore earplugs because of it.

“I’m used to it because we sleep together often. But were you surprised to suddenly be in charge of my road?”

It was something I hadn’t asked before.

The reason why Kang-soo came as an assistant manager to Yoo So-hyun was because there was a request from Director Yoo Chae-yeon.

Of course, CEO Jin Soo-hyeok objected.

At first, there was a team in charge of overseas affairs at Blue Guard, so it should have been taken over there.

However, since Yoo So-hyun had a recent terror attack, he had no choice but to send Kang-soo, who solved it.

“it’s okay.”

The deadline was tight as I was in a hurry to apply for a passport.

“When I get to LA, I’ll buy you something delicious.”

“You must have come often.”

“Anyway, it is difficult to rest comfortably in Korea. I come here from time to time because the climate is good.”

“okay.”

Los Angeles has been here a few times for rain missions.

However, since I was protecting VIPs in Ejisto under disguise, I couldn’t speak because I was using a forged passport.

Of course, it was never caught because it was a new identity created through cooperation between the Italian government and Egisto.

Meanwhile, the plane landed at Los Angeles Airport.

As soon as she left the entry gate, Yoo So-hyun’s overseas fans cheered.

At the same time, bodyguards from the US branch of Blue Guard surrounded Yoo So-hyun.

Steve, who is in charge of security for this schedule, sits next to her.

He was a typical American with dark brown blue eyes.

“The vehicle is parked. Come this way.”

I spoke in English, but Yoo So-hyun and Kim Bo-ran fully understood.

In the meantime, the six bodyguards in the vicinity pushed the people who were flocking to Yoo So-hyun.

Next to him were managers Kim Bo-ran and Kang-soo.

said Steve, who climbed into the car with difficulty and sat in the passenger seat.

“I will introduce myself properly. My name is Steve Harrison, who will be in charge of this security.”

“nice to meet you. My name is Yoo So-hyun.”

“Do I really need an introduction? Yoo So-hyun is also popular in the United States. It is an honor to serve you like this.”

“thank you.”

Yoo So-hyun was active as a singer while learning.

It was to the point that a few songs from the mini-album that I released as a solo singer in the past reached the top of the US Billboard charts.

“Because my daughter is a fan of Yoo So-hyun. I watched all the dramas and movies. If you don’t mind, I’ll ask for your autograph later.”

“Of course I should.”

Steve held out his phone and showed a picture of his daughter.

A short-haired blonde girl who looked like a high school student, wearing jeans and a simple black hoodie, was smiling brightly like Steve.

“It was taken on my 15th birthday this year. My name is Shelly.”

“and-! So pretty! Is your name Shelly? But you’re 15. You look more mature than I thought.”

“Americans usually do. When I first saw Yoo So-hyun, I thought she was younger than my daughter.”

“oh! I am now in my mid-twenties.”

While the two are talking, Kim Bo-ran is checking the schedule related to the audition on the tablet PC next to him.

Then, as if something was curious, he intervened in the conversation between the two.

“Oh, Steve. There is no problem with the privacy of the hotel room Yoo So-hyun is staying in, right?”

“I checked all the danger points on the other side of the window.”

This is because there have been incidents of extreme fans even voyeuring with a camera equipped with a telephoto lens from the building across the street.

Because of that, the hotel and the rooms on both sides of Yoo So-hyun’s room were booked together to prevent eavesdropping.

“Please take good care of me. I’m here for a good cause, so I don’t want any problems to arise.”

“By the way… I received a report that there was an increase in the number of people that was not originally planned. Is that my friend?”

Steve pointed to Kang-soo, who was sitting in the back seat.

Since it was decided to add additional personnel in a hurry, the Blue Guard US branch reacted sensitively as it was delayed in confirming the information.

“that’s right. I will help Yoo So-hyun with me.”

“Honestly, I don’t know if it was necessary.”

Kim Bo-ran also checked the work he had just done by himself.

Kang-soo, just like before, was just sitting in the back.

Of course, Steve didn’t want to be pinched, but as a person in charge of security, he had no choice but to be sensitive about unnecessary personnel.

“It will help.”

“I am sorry if you were offended. and Mr. Han. I’m sorry for reacting sensitively.”

Steve apologized and met Kang-soo’s eyes.

Kang-soo, who was looking elsewhere, only blinked his eyes when he heard his words.

“In case you can’t speak English…”

Then Kang-soo’s mouth opened, and English fluently flowed out.

“I am not offended. As a person in charge of security, there are many things to worry about when the number of people suddenly increases. However, I was thinking about it because there were some people I needed to check when the fans flocked to me earlier.”

Apart from the explanation, Yoo So-hyun and Kim Bo-ran, who did not think that Kang-soo would speak English, were surprised.

So was Steve.

“sorry. You knew how to speak English. But you’re the one to check.”

“Here you go.”

Kangsu held out his cell phone. There were photos taken while moving from the immigration hall earlier.

The crowd is men sitting on benches outside or standing against walls.

“Aren’t you just a fan or a journalist? Well… although the expression looks a bit dark.”

“Well, maybe a fan. I must have been a bit nervous because I have Spetsnaz and UKSF tattoos.”

“A tattoo?”

“It was a bit far away, so I couldn’t take pictures until there. But the tattoo was on my forearm.”

Spetsnaz is Russia, UKSF is England.

Each was famous for its country’s special forces.

Of course, the skills of the people from that unit are terrifying.

Even within Blue Guard, there were a few people from that side.

“Is that true? But it could have been there for other business.”

Of course, even if the unit had a tattoo, it was not unconditionally strange. As Steve said, there may have been a different purpose.

But Kang-soo had a different idea.

It was because their eyes were on Yoo So-hyun.

“I was just telling you what I saw.”

“I will take note.”

There is no evidence right now. No matter what you say, Steve may or may not take it.

Kang-su expected that, so he thought about how to prepare for it.

“Mr. Kangsu, did you speak English that well?”

“Just a little bit.”

“Not a little bit.”

“Iknow, right. When did you learn English?”

“I learned it when I was in the military.”

As a noncommissioned officer, I had no choice but to learn.

As I entered UBT, there were so many overseas operations that I became familiar with practical English.

While the conversation was going on, I arrived at the most famous Memoria Hotel in Los Angeles, where I was staying.

It was a high-rise hotel in the middle of a forest of Los Angeles buildings.

I went in there, got the key to the room, and went straight in.

Yoo So-hyun’s room is a deluxe room.

Kim Bo-ran and the security team are in the room next to her.

Suman Kang was assigned a business executive room on a different floor.

Of course, Yoo So-hyun originally tried to get it as a suite, but the party objected because it was unnecessarily expensive.

Moreover, since it is such a famous hotel, suites have already been sold out.

First of all, today’s schedule was a break. So Kang-soo came out to the hotel lobby again before unpacking in the room.

‘I wasn’t followed… but did I know the destination in advance?’

Two of the Spetsnaz and UKSF Special Forces tattoos I saw at the airport earlier were sitting on the sofa opposite the cafeteria in the lobby.

‘Seeing that they’re strangers… isn’t that the line I belonged to?’

Kangsu worked as a mercenary and bodyguard.

I’d probably be familiar with it, but it wasn’t a face I remembered.

At that moment, like the last time, Kang-soo’s chatty voice rang like an alarm in Kang-soo’s head.

“Do you know that director Hawk O’Brien is? He’s the director who made three hit drama films. But director Lee made a drama, and that was also a series. Hyah… All of a sudden, Hong Ah-jin was kidnapped during the audition for the director’s drama. Rumor has it that it’s an LA gang. I don’t know if you’ll be okay.”

‘From the last time… what is it?’

At first, I thought it was just a memory.

However, as if telling something, the ringing feeling becomes stronger.

Of course, Kang-soo also has that memory.

After meeting PD Choi Yoon-ho in the mountains for the first time, he would come up often and talk and terrorize under the guise of rest.

But now it’s different.

Producer Choi Yun-ho ran away at Kang-soo’s muttering, and he had no reason to come to the mountain anymore.

‘It’s not like some kind of foresight…’

It seemed that no movie or drama had the ability to predict with a loud voice.

Rather, it was the men she found in the lobby that were the problem now.

According to PD Choi Yoon-ho’s voice that rang in his head, they might be the kidnappers.

‘But… who is Ajin Hong? Did you hear anything next?’

Kangsu recalled the stories he had heard from Choi Yunho.

But for a moment, they were like talking about the outside world, so I never told them the outcome of the incident.

‘Anyway, it’s useless except for the noisy ones.’

So, what Kang-soo had to do was use his cell phone.

Since I was roaming, there was no problem in searching.

[Hong] [Ah] [Jin]

The search results came out.

[Hong Ah-jin │ Actor]

― Belongs to Hiiz Entertainment

―Debut: Movie <Everyday Time>

‘huh······?’

Under the search that popped up on the phone screen, there was an article posted as of today.

[Hong Ah-jin, the main character of ‘Oh My Artemis’, participated in the audition for Hawk O’Brien’s drama <My Neighbor Diablo>!]

This time, Yoo So-hyun also participated in the audition.

Of course, in the original future, Yoo So-hyun was attacked by hydrochloric acid and stopped all activities, let alone Los Angeles.

‘Did the abduction target change to Yoo So-hyun as the past changed?’

Kang-soo went straight up to the deluxe room floor and found Kim Bo-ran’s room.

“What are you doing?”

“We need to seek cooperation from the airport and hotel first.”

“What kind of cooperation?”

“The men who were at the airport earlier are now in the hotel lobby.”

“yes? is that really Are you talking about the men who said they had tattoos earlier?”

Even Kim Bo-ran couldn’t help but be surprised.

“you’re right. It’s just the circumstances, but we have to devise a method, whether it’s by checking the identity first and preparing for it.”

“Now, wait a minute. Let’s go see Steve.”

So Kang-soo and Kim Bo-ran knocked on the door of the security team’s room.
