40. Money For One Infomation.

Ji Min, who got off his bicycle and parked the origin of his bicycle in front of the intersection with the shop still open, locked it safely and walked after a strange woman who seemed to need her help. Because Ji Min is a man who likes to help, the little man follows in the footsteps of the previous woman who asked him to stop by for a while at one of the places he both stopped at.

Quite an expensive restaurant with some well-known food which is quite good in the area.

"Are you not wrong by bringing me to this place, madam?"

"I'm sorry in advance, but I don't have much money to even buy drinks there." Ji Min even stopped in his tracks because he felt that just sitting down would cost Ji Min half of his pocket money.

"I need your help, I said it's not free. At least let's talk inside, and I'll pay for the food you're going to eat there." Ji Min swallowed hard. After almost seven years of working at the cafe, Ji Min never stopped by the restaurant. Besides being expensive and quite famous among him, Ji Min is also a man who can't afford to waste money on expensive food like his friends.

Apart from Ji Mi still being able to save at least a little bit, and giving her savings money for her father's medical expenses, Ji Min is just living a simple life.

The man was grateful that he could taste rice every day and could eat fast food instant noodles at the mini-market not far from his house.

That's more than enough.

"Come in," said the woman without hesitation, entering the restaurant, making Ji Min swallow hard. "I'm shaking so much," he mumbled which the woman could still hear and made him chuckle a little.

The two of them were sitting neatly, and it seemed that the woman who had stopped him was no ordinary woman. Even now the two of them were sitting on the second floor of the VIP where only people who needed personal space would take it.

What's more, even with the money to order it. "Make two of the most expensive meals," the woman's message made it harder for Ji Min to swallow.

"Madam, what exactly are you looking for," Ji Min said again because she didn't understand when she asked her for help, but instead Ji Min ended up in a three-star restaurant with VIP security on the second floor.

"I'll explain after the food arrives, I need you like my ear." Ji Min is getting more and more confused by what the adult woman is saying, what's even more terrifying is that Ji Min isn't even more afraid to be left in this restaurant to pay for it. That's not all.

Ji Min is also afraid that he will be cheated, or even mistreated by the woman. And somehow, Ji Min felt sorry for being a good person.

"Please," said the waiter who came with a package of food with drinks that Ji Min was sure wouldn't be able to afford.

There were two bottles of wine, then two beef steaks of good quality, and some sweets for dessert.

"Have you eaten? What are you doing?" asked the woman making Ji Min sigh heavily, he didn't touch her at all. He even kept his hands under the table.

He does good manners because that's what he is. "Speak madam, I'm getting more and more clueless about your direction asking me to come along. I'm confused," replied Ji Min by asking the woman to explain why she came.

"Don't you work in one of the cafes in front of the mini-market in front of you?" Tae Woo's mother immediately asks making Ji Min nod her head firmly if it's the same person. "That's right, madam." Ji Min answered slowly.

"I just need information from you, I'll pay for it," he said again, but this time Ji Min was confused because he didn't speak directly in the direction of his speech. "Sorry?" asked Ji Min asking for a little explanation. "Are you willing to help me?" The difficult question after hearing the direction the woman was speaking made Ji Min feel cornered.

He knew this was all a trap, but Ji Min needed to come out with a lot of information.

"Madam, this is very strange. I met you today, ah sorry not today but thirty minutes before."

"We're not that close, madam. But I'll help you if the help you need is a small thing and I can help you. Saw you asked me to come here, with a closed place, this expensive food. I'm not sure I can do it, madam." Ji Min said honestly.

The man became indecisive and could not explain what the woman wanted. .besides what is said will be more secret, Ji Min is more afraid because he has never hurt anyone.

"I just wanted to know some information you have, Ji Min." The man was getting scared, he was worried because besides the woman knew her name, he also knew where she worked. "Madam, I'm worried about myself right now." Ji Min said what he felt for the woman to just be sent home. "I won't hurt you, Ji Min."

"As long as you consider what I need, I will treat you well." Ji Min sighed heavily, he knew now that he was being seduced. However, he became more and more uncomfortable because of her presence.

"Madam, I think I'll just go home." Ji Min said what he felt quickly, even with slow steps, and stood up slowly and bowed. "Looks like I can't help you, I'm sorry. I'll say goodbye first, madam. Thank you in advance." Ji Min walked out after saying that, the man became even more scared as the woman forcibly pulled Ji Min away with sharp eyes looking at her.

"Listen first." Ji Min lowered his gaze. "I need your help, Park Ji Min."

"But I can't help you, madam. I can't commit murder or even steal. I already have a job," Ji Min answered firmly, making Tae Woo's mother a little surprised to hear that. "Wait!!! What do you mean?" He confused himself.

"Don't you mean to ask me to kill someone? Or steal expensive things to trade?" Ji Min asked with an innocent face making Tae Woo's mother smack her forehead lightly. "Sit down," the woman asked.

Ji Min hesitated to return to his previous seat, but in the end, the man did.

"Pardon my carelessness, madam." Ji Min apologized again, the woman nodded her head slowly. "I'm not that cruel, Ji Min."

"I have a son the same age as you, I won't do anything bad to you. It's the same as hurting my son." Hearing this explanation, Ji Min could now heave a sigh of relief. He still hadn't touched the expensive food.

"Can we talk?" Tae Woo's mother asked making Ji Min nod her head slowly. "Yes?" he answered, even though he was a little confused.

Tae Woo's mother took a deep breath before doing what she had planned this morning. "Doesn't one of my friends who work at this cafe have the name Jeon Jung Ki?" asked the woman who had made Ji Min answer it.

"We work alone, madam, me as a cashier and Jung Ki as a barista. Can I help you?" The woman shook her head slowly as she got the facts straightened out.

Ji Min nodded his head slowly.

"I need a little information from you about a man named Jeon Jung Ki. That barista," said Tae Woo's mother making Ji Min knit her brows slowly.

"Madam, do you know Jung Ki?" Ji Min asked back making the woman shake her head honestly. "Then what is Jung Ki's information for him, madam. It's all privacy."

"I need information about Jeon Jung Ki because I need---"

"Madam, sorry. I can't help you, my answer is the same. I'm going home, thank you for your offer madam." Ji Min spoke to the strange woman earlier and walked out of the restaurant and returned to his bicycle for go to the mini-market near his house.

He needed to eat fast food instant noodles to fill his stomach a bit until breakfast tomorrow. The man bought the same menu, ate it, then returned to throw out the trash after he had enjoyed everything.

Without wasting any time Ji Min will return to his house with his bicycle, but as he is about to take the road to his house he again sees the same woman following him with her car behind him. "Aish, that woman is." Ji Min purposely turned around so the woman couldn't follow his path.

At least removing the traces, for now, would put Ji Min at ease. And sure enough, Tae Woo's mother lost track of Ji Min.

The woman returned to the same mini-market where the man stopped to buy his dinner. The woman entered the mini-market to talk about Ji Min. At least a little background.

"Sorry in advance, can I get the private number of the guy who came here before?" Tae Woo's mother asked seriously, making the mini-market guard man confused. "Sorry?"

"Park Ji Min, the man who comes every night to buy instant noodles and eat them in front of this mini market." In the end she would just lie without a second thought if she was honestly saying things that made sense. "Ah, Bro Ji Min." The man nodded his head. "I know him, but isn't it a crime to give private numbers to real people?" The man asked trying to provide privacy and protect his customers.

"I will give you some money if you will help me," Tae Woo's mother said by spending two hundred thousand won making the man shocked. "Wait, I can't--" Tae Woo's mother again took out one million won to add to it so that the man would give a little information about Park Ji Min. "OK." The man accepted by taking all the money and taking his cell phone. "This." The man gave it.

"Tell me a little background," said Tae Woo's mother who made the man obedient because of the money he got.

Ji Min is a good man, he works at a crossroads cafe in front of the highway. He lives with his two cavemen and is the breadwinner of the family. Ji Min's father had an accident and partially paralyzed his body and died temporarily." Tae Woo's mother nodded her head slowly feeling that that was enough.

After that, the woman walked away towards her car. He smiled faintly and again texted someone.

/Think about it one more time, Park Ji Min. I'll give you a lot of money for the one-time information you give me. Fifteen million first encounters, how?/

/That's a lot of money for your daddy treatment./
