Secretary Gwanggong's Survival Diary
Chapter 69

Perhaps because the other person was the general secretary, my sense of unease grew in an instant. I couldn’t see Choi Hyun-jin’s expression as she turned her back to me, but the smile on the other side of me felt unpleasant. It wasn’t a positive face at all. Well... she always looked like that. Did Choi Hyun-jin know who I was talking to and meet me?

“Hyun... eup...!”

I was about to call out to Choi Hyun-jin because I had a bad feeling. A large hand shot out from behind me, covered my mouth and nose, and dragged me into the bushes. The strength of the ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) person behind me was so strong that I couldn't even confirm who I was or shake off the hand.

“Be quiet.”

Only when a voice whispered softly in my ear did I stop my struggling movements. It was Kang Seok-ho, who was perfectly suited to brute force. He must have judged that I understood what he was saying, so he took his hand off my mouth and pulled me backwards. To be exact, he walked in the opposite direction of the general secretary and Choi Hyun-jin.

“Team Leader Kang! What are you doing?”

I kept my mouth shut at his ominous expression and followed him for a while, and only spoke up when we left the trail. Kang Seok-ho looked back at the path we had taken, rather exaggeratedly, and checked the number of people before opening his mouth.

“Are you so clueless? Why are you meddling there?”

“What is it? Isn’t it strange? Choi Hyun-jin and the general secretary are meeting.”

“Choi Hyun-jin? That person from before?”

Oh, Kang Seok-ho doesn't seem to know who Choi Hyun-jin is. Well, no one but me knows that Choi Hyun-jin has feelings for Yoon Tae-oh. No, maybe Yoon Tae-oh already knows... . Since he made it clear like that, it would be stranger if he didn't know.

“Who is he?”

“There... is. This is the housekeeping staff here.”

It's really strange. Everyone will soon know Choi Hyun-jin's true identity, so why am I lying? I could have just said that he could be Yoon Tae-oh's beta.

“But why is the general secretary here? Without even contacting us?”

“That’s why I’m watching too. I have a bad feeling about it.”

Ah. It seems like Kang Seok-ho was chasing the general secretary.

“...Have you heard anything?”

“Well, it seems like the general secretary is suggesting something to the guy.”

It's a suggestion... .

“Excuse me... Team leader.”

A memory suddenly flashed through my mind. The person who told Kang Hae-woon that he didn't have to contact him during Yoon Tae-oh's rut ​​incident. I don't know if Yoon Tae-oh investigated separately, but when I looked into it separately, there was no evidence that the culprit was the executive secretary. However, my reasoning has no doubt that the culprit is the executive secretary.

“What are you talking about?”

“...No, it’s nothing.”

I was going to talk about it, but I thought it would be better not to. Yoon Tae-oh's judgment would be more correct than my shallow reasoning, and if he didn't give separate instructions to Kang Seok-ho, there must be a reason for it. This is meddling, that's too much.

“But... what was the proposal?”

He quickly changed the subject. He must have read my intention that I didn’t want to talk, because he shook his head from side to side without asking any more questions.

“Have you heard anything else? Those two aren’t supposed to be together... right?”

“Be careful, I don’t know what he’ll do next. As of now, there’s no reason to block the general secretary’s movements.”

"...yes...."

I need to know what his true intentions are so I can be careful or not. Anyway, I agreed with Kang Seok-ho's words, so I answered in the affirmative.

“I thought so, because I’ll attach a security guard just in case.”

“There’s no need to do that.”

“You don’t remember last time, do you?”

“Ha... Okay, I got it.”

The moment when the fact that I was an Omega was almost revealed. Thinking back to the time when I was attacked by the general secretary's subordinate before that, I couldn't say no. Rather... .

"thank you."

I should be grateful that there is someone who thinks of me like this.

“And by the way, you.”

"yes...?"

“No. What good will it do to you?”

Now that I think about it, this kid doesn't even know his age. I'm used to him always talking to me informally, so I missed the right time to ask. But strangely, I think he's my older brother. Somehow... I don't feel so good, but whenever I'm with Kang Seok-ho, I feel like I'm a protected younger brother.

Jiiing

Just as I was about to turn around, my phone vibrated. The caller was the new secretary, Team Leader 2.

-Team leader!

My steps quickened as I heard an urgent call from behind the receiver. There could only be one reason for someone to call like that. It must be bad news.

❖ ❖ ❖

“So, Kang Hae-un is still in Australia?”

“Yes... I don’t think I’ll be able to leave today.”

They say that there are mountains beyond mountains. It is said that the plane that Kang Hae-woon was on, who had finished his schedule, could not even take off. The reason was that the local weather conditions were bad.

“Haa... Is it the same if you depart from a different city?”

“Since even domestic flights can’t take off, I think it’ll be impossible today considering the travel time.”

It's almost as if the only solution we have is gone.

“What is the representative’s current condition?”

“I’m not sure... but it doesn’t sound good. It looks like you’re taking too many tranquilizers, so it looks like they’re not working well.”

Since there was no separate monitoring tool, the only thing they could do was check the medication was running out using the sensor installed in the medicine bottle. The medical staff who were watching warned that the sedative might soon stop working altogether.

“Please prepare a suppression team with the regular security team first. Alpha is not allowed, Team Leader Kang.”

“Okay.”

“...The story is that we should enter only when the moment is the worst.”

“I know, Team Leader Baek.”

It was a last resort when all else had been exhausted. Forcibly subduing Yoon Tae-oh, who was not responding to sedatives, and using drugs beyond his limit to tranquilize him. It was like punishment for the traitor, but it was better than losing his life. Of course, subduing him without hurting him was like a death sentence to the suppression team, so Kang Seok-ho's answer was heavy. He would have to take responsibility.

Beep

A familiar yet unfamiliar mechanical sound echoed through the temporary office.

“Team Leader! Representative... This is a call.”

“I'll take it.”

I ran quickly and picked up the phone.

- Secretary Kim.

Isn't that a really consistent habit? Who would have thought that someone would listen to Secretary Kim's story?

“Yes, sir.”

- Come on in a minute. I have something to say.

“...Me?”

- It's not what I did last time, so don't expect anything.

At the words 'last time' and 'expectations', I almost forgot the situation and got angry at Yoon Tae-oh. Why is this crazy kid reminding me of the last time I cheated on him, which has since been forgotten!

“You seem to be very... fine, sir...?”

- Stop talking nonsense and come running quickly. I'll change the name of Team 3 security team leader.

I added a word in anger at his playful words, but Yoon Tae-oh’s voice that was seeping into my ears was definitely not normal. Rather, his rapid breathing was as loud as his voice. When I handed the phone over to Kang Seok-ho, he had a short conversation with Yoon Tae-oh and motioned for me to leave quickly. I was curious about the content of the call, but Yoon Tae-oh’s voice calling me lingered in my ears, so I couldn’t let the call end.

Even as I ran, my heart grew heavier. Maybe it was just my heart pounding from the first full-out sprint in a long time, but just moving my two legs was burdensome enough.

“Representative.”

There wasn't a single ant around the room where Yoon Tae-oh was staying. It was because the resort hadn't opened yet, and there was also an intention not to disturb his rut. Perhaps that's why the air inside the quiet building felt strangely chilly.

“Come in, I won’t eat you.”

As we passed through the hallway leading to the living room, Yoon Tae-oh was sitting under the dim lighting. He was sitting on the floor, leaning his back against the sofa. The sleeves of his white shirt were carelessly rolled up, and he was holding a glass of yellow liquor in his hand. His appearance was really unfamiliar. It was an appearance that did not match the usual neat and tidy Yoon Tae-oh.

“Are you... okay...?”

“Who do you think I am to ask such a thing?”

Yoon Tae-oh groaned as he stood up. I wanted to help him move, but I had to let him stand up on his own, as it might be his last remaining pride. Seeing Yoon Tae-oh struggling with even this simple movement made me feel uncomfortable for no reason.

“I’m worried because I think you’re taking too many sedatives....”

“Not yet... Haa, it’s okay. It’s not like I need to worry about Secretary Baek.”

It's canceled. I don't understand why every single word is so hateful.

“Nothing else.”

Yoon Tae-oh opened his mouth as if he was having a hard time and walked toward me. One step, two steps, three steps... As the distance between us narrowed, Yoon Tae-oh’s face became clearer and clearer. His forehead was covered in sweat, as if he had just washed up. Yoon Tae-oh’s lips were bright red, whether it was from the alcohol or the heat. The veins on his clenched fists stood out more than usual, as if he was enduring something.

“Sian.”

The narrowing gap stopped one step ahead. As I was about to reach out my hand at the sight of Yoon Tae-oh, who looked as if he might collapse, his hand came up to my shoulder.

“Brother, I have a favor to ask.”

He continued speaking with an unfamiliar call, an unfamiliar title. A title that no one else knew, only me and Yoon Tae-oh... It was like a code.
