“Minki Jeong.”

  “Yes, sir.”

  Minki Jeong shivered at the annoying voice of his direct supervisor, Jongsoo Oh. The man pounded his desk as he saw the report in his hand again.

  “So you think that there is a gate that is connected to the other world? ‘BJ Joonbum Jang’s video content seems to be real. It is not a computer graphic and needs to be checked. This can be a matter of grave concern at the national level……’ Ha! Are you crazy? Are you nuts?”

  Jongsoo stopped reading the report, sighed, and looked up at Minki. Minki could not directly look at him as he glared at him.

  “I- I’m sorry.”

  Jongsoo rolled his eyes and slapped the desk with the report.

  “Are you a fantasy movie fanatic? Or a novel addict? A comic book addict? Is this some place for you to play detective? Don’t you know where this is? This is the NIS (National Intelligence Service). NIS for God’s sake! You- what? You think there’s a way to get to this ‘other world’? He seems to be using some sort of means to move between them? Are you out of your mind? Huh? Are you kidding? Are you kidding me? When the world is still barely paving the way to space, you believe there’s a dimensional warp gate? And you believe that this individual is shifting into another dimension? What a report!”

  Jongsoo spat angrily and Minki was shaking his shoulders, quietly enduring all the screaming.

  “Would you record it and put it up on the internet if it were you? Would you? If it wasn’t for the old man who told me to look after you…!”

  Jongsoo stopped and gulped down the water. Even all the ice cubes disappeared into his mouth. He then took a deep breath and swept up his disheveled hair. He calmed his breath for a while and organized his hair and clothes before speaking again with a calm look on his face.

  “Minki, don’t let this nonsense happen again. There are a lot of people watching us. Understand?”

  “I- I’m sorry.”

  Jongsoo frowned at Minki’s incompetent reply. Jongsoo eyed him, full of hatred, but he let out a more composed voice at Minki.

  “It’s good to report anything unusual, but not this, okay? The other world? Make sure you fish out nonsense yourself.”

  “Yes, sir!”

  “Maybe go dig up any information on that new left-wing party that started the other day. Do something productive. Off you go.”

  Jongsoo dismissed Minki from his room. When Minki left, he picked up the contents of the report and angrily threw it at the garbage can.

  “Ha! Where does he think he is? By the way, what’s up with that old man? I can’t use some idiot even if it was for a favor. I should get rid of him once I get a chance. Young ones nowadays…”

  Jongsoo shook his head as the wrinkles on his forehead grew deeper.

  A similar discussion was also started in Joonbum’s latest video.

  [Wow! There’s people now. Is he starting a full-scale pioneering and settlement project?]

  [I guess it wasn’t a werewolf.]

  [Not an elf? Isn’t this the other world? Why aren’t there any elves?]

  [Why is this guy still not caught? The NIS should be on him already. I’ll report him.]

  [If you report him, you’ll be taken to the mental hospital. Be careful!]

  [I think Joonbum will be abducted and become live specimen soon.]

  [They’re all fakes. Can’t you all see that? Why would you record if it was real?]

  [Rubbish. If this was real, Martians are real too.]

  [Aliens exist, and so does the other world. Joonbum, can I go with you?]

  [Look at the views increasing! Joonbum finally gets what he deserves after that battle video.]

  [Show me the money, Joonbum!]

  [A battle with a monster is a must for other world content.]

  [I liked pioneering part too. Can you start digging again?]

  [I like farming too. It’s good to watch when I need to kill time.]

  [Yeah, it does work well for that purpose.]

  [Present… Choco Pie… Is he going to share some love?]

  [Choco Pie is the almighty.]

  [Joonbum, stop giving love to other world and start giving us sound.]

  [VOICE PLEASE]

  [I get salt, sugar, or pepper… but a Choco Pie? So out of blue.]

  [Why not? It’s our proud Korean snack. Brilliant idea.]

  [How did you think of that?]

  [I think he planned it. Probably commercial.]

  [You want money that much?]

  [Choco Pie, sharing love to the other world? LOL]

  [Love in the other dimension!]

  Joonbum let out a sigh after reading the responses.

  ‘I got lucky.’
