000. Director Woojin Kim

August 19th. Sunny.

Today is a clear day without a single cloud.

The sun is bright and the wind is cool. It is a freshness that is not like a midsummer.

After a good night’s sleep, I started the morning refreshed. I had a simple breakfast with bread and trimmed the bonsai.

These days, the speed at which bonsai grows is faster than expected. If it is not pruned well, it will not grow beautifully. I’ll have to pay a little more attention.

In the afternoon he patrolled the prison. There was nothing particularly special about it.

August 20th. blur.

Unlike yesterday, the weather is sluggish. It looked like it was going to rain, but in the end it didn’t.

It is full of moisture and has a sticky feeling.

But when Deokgu came running and wagging his tail, I felt better. cute child.

Shall we go see Chunshik tomorrow?

August 25th. rain.

It rained.

I did a lot of laundry today. It’s full of moisture, but it’s not a job to dry it.

My uniform smelled rotten because I didn’t wash it so much, but now it’s a little better.

August 31st. Sunny.

The sun has risen today.

Nothing special happened today. A day as usual, a calm daily life as usual.

Ah, tomorrow this life will be 20 years old. Somehow, I’ve been doing this for 20 years.

I couldn’t have imagined it before.

September 1st. Sunny.

I was contacted urgently.

A new prisoner is coming tomorrow. how many prisoners? I haven’t been here in a while, but it’s a bit comfortable, but it seems to be busy again.

If possible, I would like to come with a little easier guys. Because being good to each other is good.

Well, since I’m human, it must be a little easier.

“Did you write all of this?”

widely-

Kim Woo-jin covered the diary and put it in the bookshelf. The bookshelf was filled with the diaries he wrote every day while serving as a prison guard.

“Haam.”

I yawned and looked outside to see that it was dawning. is it morning It’s the beginning of another boring day, the beginning of work.

I took my uniform out of the closet. Tie a shirt and a black coat over it.

I went to work wearing a hat. I went into my office and sat down, so I knocked on the door from the outside.

“come in.”

“Loyalty, did you enjoy your meal?”

A guard in a clean suit and white gloves saluted.

“It seems that Souji’s food skills are getting better day by day.”

“Yes.”

It’s a little embarrassing because he used to cook with monsters, but there’s no problem as the ingredients are strictly controlled.

“What about the problem last night?”

“There is not. The conditions of the prisoners were fine, and there was nothing special about them.”

“Let’s go.”

Kim Woo-jin stood up from his seat. The prison guards followed.

Go down the stairs and you will see a long hallway. The rooms are located along the corridor. They are all prisons.

“Ah, are you here?”

The man who was pulling the cart and distributing food bowed his head. He was wearing a fluorescent vest with “Soji” written on it.

“Breakfast was delicious.”

“thank you. That’s because the materials you gave me are so good.”

“How about dinner?”

“I’m thinking of pasta for dinner.”

“I want to eat sashimi.”

“Ah, then I will change!”

“Look at work.”

“Yes.”

Soji dragged the ration cart and disappeared to the next floor.

Kim Woo-jin slowly walked through the corridors through the prisons.

Each and every one beyond the translucent glass window is a prison.

If it were a normal prison, there would be separate solitary cells with five or six prisoners in each room, but this is not a typical prison.

power solitary. As much as it confines the exceptional, the prison is also exceptional.

The patrol was over, but there was nothing wrong. Kim Woo-jin returned to his office and took off his hat.

I reclined my chair and lay down halfway. Images of the prison were broadcast on the TV installed in the office.

It’s unnecessary, but it’s just a habit to go around.

Ha-am, I was half-lying after eating, so I was drowsy. I closed my eyes for a while and opened them again.

“···what time is it?”

“It is 10:51. You slept exactly two hours. Prisoners are undergoing mental training.”

The prison guard who was standing there answered.

“Who is the new prisoner?”

“I got a call that I would be arriving at 11:00.”

9 minutes left.

“egg plant.”

There was no time to rest. I put my hat on again.

When I went down to the lobby on the first floor, the guards lightly bowed their heads. I didn’t particularly welcome the rudeness, so I accepted it as it was.

There is a different tension than usual in prison. It’s different from the usual, but not unfamiliar. It’s always like this when a new prisoner comes in.

10:57. The stiff escorts timed it like a knife, so there were at least three minutes left before they arrived.

He put a cigarette in his mouth and snapped his fingers. One of the guards lit it.

Whoa-

After smoking one cigarette, the time was just right.

Suddenly, the door opened. The escort officers appeared, covered in black clothes from head to toe.

“We have escorted a new prisoner.”

The prisoner’s appearance is always the same.

Their feet and legs are shackled, their mouths gagged, and their eyes covered. Even that was not enough, so he covered his ears and strangled his neck. The whole body is tied with chains, blocking the five senses and movement itself.

It may seem like an overkill, but it was also a natural measure if you knew who the prisoners were coming here.

“Name, Kang Min-shik.”

“Age, 35.”

“Race, human.”

“Gender, male…”

The convoy leader mechanically recited the prisoner’s personal details. Since it wasn’t particularly important, Kim Woo-jin took the papers from his hand.

“I’ll see.”

“This prisoner is more ferocious than the others and needs more attention.”

“Any other special features?”

“There is not.”

“great.”

“Please sign the handover confirmation.”

The guards took over the prisoner. Signed on worn-out paper. The convoy captain, who was well documented, bowed his head.

“Enough then.”

“How many more prisoners do you think will come in in the future?”

“How can you guess the frequency with which prisoners spring up? To sin or not to sin is up to the heart of the people.”

“If you can’t speak.”

Kim Woo-jin waved his hand and issued a congratulatory order.

“Then stop. See you next time.”

“I hope to see you as soon as possible.”

“Isn’t it a good thing to have more prisoners?”

“It’s good for me.”

“I will try.”

The convoy leader, who responded expressionlessly, disappeared with the escort officers.

“Take him to the counseling room.”

“Yes.”

This is what I always do when a prisoner comes in. Checking out who you are.

The counseling room was a secret room. There are only two chairs and a desk. However, on the contrary, the extremely wide empty space was quite heterogeneous.

The prisoner was seated on a chair, seated on another chair, and the earplugs were removed to remove the gag.

The prisoner let out the breath he had been holding.

“…”

Our eyes met. Surprisingly, he was calm.

“Do not tremble. Normal prisons do anal exams, but we don’t do that here.”

I took out the documents handed over to the escort officer.

“Kang Min-sik. Am I right?”

“Where are we?”

“It is a prison. answer any questions Minsik Kang. Am I right?”

“Why am I in prison?”

“Because I have sinned. Minsik Kang. Am I right?”

“I am not guilty of anything…!”

Jjaak-

Kang Min-sik’s head turned with a cheerful sound.

“I only endure three times. Answer any questions I ask.”

The guy’s face contorted.

“How dare you know who I am!”

“No matter who you were or what you did, since you came here, prisoner. nothing more and nothing less So keep your eyes open and answer the questions quietly.”

“Shut up!”

Kang Min-shik shouted out loud.

“dare! Without these restraints, he’s worse than when he got caught in my toenails!”

“Your time is like this.”

“Leave yourself a lot of leeway now. I will break your neck if I get out of here.”

“Then do it.”

“···What?”

Kim Woo-jin threw the desk away. He pulled a chair and came closer to Kang Min-shik.

“Try it.”

“This bastard…!”

“I am not interested in which dimension you sought or which dimension you are from.”

Rather than that, I wish more to finish my tenure safely.

“I don’t care why you came here.”

That’s not what’s important.

“You came here and were put under my control. Do you know what that means? If you have an accident, it will be my fault.”

A manager is such a job. So tired and annoying

“Do you know why the counseling room pursues such extreme minimalism?”

All that is in the huge space of over 500 pyeong is the chair and desk in front of the door.

“This is the original purpose.”

Kim Woo-jin put the papers back into his arms.

clap-

I loosened the handcuffs that bound Kang Min-sik’s wrists.

“···what?”

“The prisoners who come here are all the same. They don’t acknowledge the situation and get desperate.”

The shackles were broken.

“Crying out the old lost past, I still think that I am great. well, i understand Still, everyone will have a history of saving the world from a crisis. After being treated as a hero, he was suddenly transferred to prison, so who would accept it easily?”

The chains that bound her body fell off.

“But you don’t know that’s the default here. That the prison was created for the purpose of confining such people in the first place.”

“I asked what are you doing!”

“You know what’s the best way to inject reality into those bastards?”

Finally, the restraints on his neck were released. Kang Min-sik realized that the motionless Mana was under his control again.

“That’s right. If you don’t admit it, you lose until you admit it. It forces you to inject reality into it.”

So, the counseling room is large and spacious. There is nothing except for a desk and chair. Because it is a place that pursues a conversation of the body, not a conversation of language.

“…I was crazy about wanting to die. Can you handle it?”

“Can you handle it? Hey, you must have seen some movies. The lines are full.”

Kim Woo-jin shrugged. Even Kang Min-sik’s angry eyes made him smile.

“But you know what? I’ve met a few, if not many, guys like you.”

formally introduced.

“This is purgatory.”

A prison that confines warriors.

“And I am Kim Woo-jin.”

It’s the head of this place.

“Come on at once. It’s my job to reform people like you.”

“You son of a bitch!”

Kang Min-sik rushed in.
