Chapter 17 (1/2)
The unknown man was named Park
His laughter enveloped the room
”I'll show you a draft at some point,” he said
”Please draw one that President Roh will be satisfied with,” the grandfather said
I'm not sure what he is up to
”I'm afraid I'm too sloitted to realize… Go head tell me,” said Park
Aha! I knew h I couldn't see his face, only the back of his head
”Workers are pouring out into the streets for demonstrations,” he continued,
”And our factory is closed down due to a general strike,”
Riding the waves of deht for their rights
What the grandfather was asking him was to stop them
”Well, the problem is our top priority No worries That will be solved before the Olympic Games,” said Park
”Please, just steer it in the right direction,” the grandfather said Park nodded yes
”Do you have another thing?” asked Park
”Has the ANSP (agency for national security planning) been busy of late?”
Park raised his eyebrows, blinked twice
”The labor union is causing trouble,” the grandfather added,

”I heard Sunyang is as informative as the ANSP,” said Park
”Very flattering,”
Why would he want to rasp the trend of the union?

”I'll line up a few of them to take care of the union,”
”Thank you, really appreciate it,” the grandfather said

”Do-jun, did you wait long? Did you eat anything?”
He pulled out his chair and sat down next to me

All I could say was ”I studied hard,”
While I was talking, he scanned the table
”Do-jun?”
”Yes?”
”Tell me honestly, did you hear what I said in that room?”
Most of the food were barely touched, which
The slightly opened door ht have been intended; if I said I’d heard what he said, he would like it
But eavesdropping is not a good thing I shookwrong
Sh and cold
