37 Second hun (1/2)

”Ugh.”

”Uhh.”

Sunsook grimaced as soon as she passed through the 'Gate'. Joonbum did the same. They felt like the air was choking them as they returned to Earth.

'The pollution and fine dust are too severe. I can't even breathe well.'

Their faces grimaced even more as they walked out of the greenhouse that was installed to hide the 'Gate.' The area seemed to be filled with dust and his cell phone was full of pollution emergency notices.

Sunsook prepared him a hot cup of tea while Joonbum started up his laptop.

”Drink this. It will make you feel better.”

”Thank you.”

The sweet tea scent pierced his nose. It seemed to calm him down as he started editing his videos quickly. He finished the last sip as he uploaded the video.

”It's time to go.”

”I'll wait here. So I just need to organize the stuff that was delivered and load them onto the trailer, right?”

”Yes. We'll connect it to the truck afterward. But don't do it yourself. They will load it themselves when they deliver it.”

Sunsook shook her head and flexed her arm a bit in response to Joonbum's concerned expression.

”I'm healthy now, remember?”

”Haha, yeah. But it's okay. I paid those people to do it anyway. Also, we eventually have to do it on our own when we return, so save your energy for now.”

”Oh, so you're making me work now, huh?”

”Of course. Hehe.”

Joonbum grinned and started the car. Sunsook smiled at him.

”Drive safely.”

Joonbum waved his hand and stepped on the accelerator. The truck sped through the road.

-Today's fine dust level is…-

-Senator Kim will be summoned for an investigation of additional sexual harass…-

-Popular figure Hong will be marrying…-

The radio was full of issues that were brewing up these days. These were now the center of interest.

'They don't care that much about me anymore.'

Joonbum found himself lucky as no more reporters were trying to dig into him. The average viewer count dropped a little as a result, but it wasn't a big deal.

”I wonder what the responses will be like.”

The video he uploaded today consisted of the Ainos kids and women eating.

'They're cute. Beautiful too.'

Most of the Ainos women were beautiful. They had big green eyes with streaks of other colors and tall noses. Many of them were slim and tall like models. It was easy to imagine how big of a stir it would cause to view such foreign women eating Korean food.

'The kids are cute too.'

The sight of all those kids gorging away at the food, some were startled at the taste and some searched for water because of its spiciness, making him smile.

Joonbum slowed down the truck while smiling as he arrived at the destination.

'That's the place.'

Joonbum scanned the area. A man who was waiting inside a truck got out and walked toward him.

”Oh, hello. Mr. Park.”

Joonbum got out of the car and greeted Taesoo Park.

”Yes, welcome, Mr. Jang.”

Taesoo shook Joonbum's hands. His pale thin face showed how long he had been contemplating. Joonbum glanced at Taesoo and his truck as he exchanged greetings with him.

'He got it!'

Joonbum beamed at the sight as he realized that Taesoo had acquired the goods he'd requested. However, Taesoo seemed to be concerned. His bald head was sweating as he continuously scanned the passing cars with his eyes.

”S-so, did- did you prepare the money?”

”Yes. It's one hundred million won as promised. All cash.”

Joonbum nodded and Taesoo's face brightened up a bit, but his expression soon turned grim again.
