The Doctor's Warning
Psychiatry specialist Dr. Hwang Jeong-geon was explaining with a calm voice, and Vice President Jo Bong-young was listening attentively to those stories.
"Among the resolutions to commit suicide... at least over fifty percent... start from insomnia... there's also research results like that.
Sleep is the most essential of the essentials for survival.
If it doesn't proceed smoothly...
The spiritual world will collapse before the physical one...
The torture that doesn't let you sleep... that's why it's scary."
"Hye-in... I... want to take a separate opportunity..."
"These days... Hye-in isn't doing it often... so it might be hard to schedule..."
"So... I hope Dr. Hwang will lend a hand.
In the afternoon... in the direction of meeting separately."
"Well... anyway... there's only four public subs left...
I'm worried that the cafe's legacy might end.
Once... when there were many, we had up to eight public subs at the same time... and kept rotating them...
Now... it's hard to schedule.
Miran or Ji-hwa... honestly, members who have experienced them a few times don't even try to find them...
And just... the one who's always popular is Hye-in...
Hye-in has too few opportunities...
And the remaining one is Kyung-hee... Kyung-hee... there are too many things to check...
And bad rumors are circulating.
I'm still confirming the content of the rumors...
Honestly... Kyung-hee doesn't seem like she'll last long either."
"Hey... Doctor...
Given that Go Dong-seok has become like this... it's a bit awkward to say this...
But don't you think we should train Hye-in a bit more stimulatingly to bring her back?"
"I try, but it's not forced.
Those who say they force training are all lies.
They just bring women who are addicted to sex and do a show.
Such relationships... usually end within a few months... at best within a year.
That's not real sub tendency.
Women with real submissive tendencies...
Never... force... to draw out that tendency.
If forced... rather, the tendency disappears.
It's really not easy."
"So Doctor... I have one thought..."
"What is it?"
"By moving Hye-in's heart well...
That Park Jeon-mu who had trouble with her husband.
How about attaching Hye-in to Park Jeon-mu?
Let's bring Park Jeon-mu into our members this time.
That guy also really likes women..."
"Is he a tendency person?"
"No... not a tendency person, but...
He won't mind taking the wife of a man who gave him such humiliation."
"There might be some risk...
Is that okay?"
"So... I'm asking the doctor.
After perfectly preparing a risk-free situation...
I'll create an opportunity for Hye-in to voluntarily become that man's one-time urinal...
Something like that."
Jo Bong-young's slightly shocking proposal...
sparked a light in Hwang Jeong-geon's eyes.

"Hello... Mr. Yoo Kang-soo...
I'm the senior managing director in charge of recruitment at Y Insurance.
It's an honor to conduct the interview today.
After I conduct the first interview...
If you pass... then after the CEO interview...
We'll proceed with hiring.
Well, it's all a formality.
Looking at Mr. Yoo Kang-soo's resume from the past 4 years...
It's only natural... that we hire you at Y Insurance."
"However... as I mentioned earlier, there will be a lot of local work.
Especially, regions with a lot of insurance fraud are distributed all over the country.
Since there are no investigators in those local areas, the headquarters investigators... have to go down there and handle the work.
That seems like something you need to prepare for in advance."
"Yes... I've prepared my mind in advance."
Yoo Kang-soo was nodding with a firm expression.
Yoo Kang-soo had already prepared his mind sufficiently.
Ultimately, Yoo Kang-soo had the schedule for the final CEO interview set in just one day.
"Nice to meet you... Mr. Yoo Kang-soo...
I looked at your performance from the company you were working at.
It really felt like you were working hard.
You know...
One thing I've felt after working in corporate life for over 30 years.
People who think they're great... even if they say it themselves, if others don't recognize them, it's all in vain.
Truly great people don't say they're great with their mouths,
They show their performance with quantified numbers...
In fact, humans who can't show that they are great with quantified, measurable numbers...
Are just wasting time.
The humans who are first to be eliminated in organizations...
Are humans who can't extract their performance in the work they're doing...
With quantified, measurable numbers."
"In that regard... Mr. Yoo Kang-soo... your past 4 years of performance...
Clearly show numbers...
I can see how much you've run around... how much you've suffered.
I've worked in the insurance industry for 36 years.
Just looking at these numbers... you can sense the other's hard work."
The CEO of Y Insurance was sitting across from Yoo Kang-soo at the table, speaking with precise, measured voice.
"Specialty is martial arts, right?
Hapkido 5th dan, Taekwondo 3rd dan, Special Forces Martial Arts 3rd dan...
Impressive..."
"Hapkido I trained from childhood, Taekwondo and Special Forces Martial Arts I acquired during military service.
Actually... my main specialty is Hapkido."
"Is that so...
I heard that when you go on local business trips, you encounter all sorts of weirdos.
It must be reassuring."
"Actually... since I'm in this field... I hear all sorts of rumors."
"Other things I don't need to check in detail...
One thing slightly bothers me.
I heard there's something between you and Park Jeon-mu.
I don't know deeply.
Can I hear about that story?"
Yoo Kang-soo, in response to the CEO's question about his job change to Y Insurance, nodded and replied.
"Yes... I had a relationship with someone unrelated to work or my job.
But, Park Jeon-mu pointed out that incident as an external request and tried to use it against me, so I... I don't know why, but I got angry.
But I apologized, and I feel ashamed that I couldn't control my emotions.
It won't happen again.
I'm deeply reflecting on it and feeling ashamed."
"Is that so...
Thank you for being honest.
Mr. Yoo Kang-soo... let's do well from now on.
Insurance companies... must tightly seal leaking money...
To improve profitability.
Insurance investigators like Mr. Yoo Kang-soo... are people on the front line of doing that work.
Let's really do well."
The CEO of Y Insurance was shaking hands with Yoo Kang-soo and saying that.

A few cafe operators gathered and were discussing changing cafe rules.
"When meeting public subs, we should go in the direction of not forcing first and second... to arrange more meetings."
"No... it's not forced now.
It's just that because members are too often doing friendship gatherings, they hold those drinking parties among themselves.
Look quietly...
Only the people gathering are visible.
There are over 30 members with access rights to public subs... but they only gather among themselves.
There are people who don't gather together... there are even people who have never seen each other's faces.
It's also a big problem that they associate with similar job groups.
The framework isn't breaking..."
"Yes... for now... when meeting public subs... not after the gathering...
Just... without time constraints... meeting even in the afternoon...
Just the two of them... that's what we should do."
"No... it was like that originally...
Even just 3-4 years ago.
When meeting public subs... it was an implicit rule to meet secretly just the two of them."
One of the operators was explaining with a serious expression.
"However...
Members who like to drink and like to play, and a few members from the medical field...
Have been leading the atmosphere in that way.
In other words, when it's their turn to enjoy the public sub, they buy food... just call close members, have the gathering sing songs, and enjoy it...
The enjoyment of public subs has been changed to enjoying it in conjunction with drinking parties... so it has subtly deteriorated."
"Of course, our operators bear the greatest responsibility.
Under the guise of emphasizing freedom and non-control...
We couldn't control such indulgence and just watched.
Starting from me... the operators' responsibility is the greatest."
