Gender Reversal Politics

30. Ball and Ball

Why didn’t I do good things?

The day after we spent the night together. I muttered as Hyeri looked blankly at her sleeping Suho.

Na Hye-ri knew the answer to this question best.

During the long dating period of 4 years and 2 months, the ex-boyfriend who did not allow his body and only cared about it, and eventually became a priest, leaving only a word of sorry. He was lovely in appearance and kind-hearted, but he was a friend who only hurt me and Hyeri.

Since then, it has already been many years since I felt skeptical about the act of dating itself and immersed myself in my hobby.

It wasn’t that I didn’t have opportunities to meet men. About two years ago, her mother, Na Yoon-seon, the former chairperson, tried to give her a man while making various excuses for her.

Men who are well educated and brought up in good families, nice and young to their age.

However, Na Hye-ri declined the introduction.

It wasn’t because there was anything wrong with the other man, it was because he was too accustomed to leading a life alone. It was also largely because the men introduced by her mother all hoped to become full-time housewives.

You can have a lot of fun living alone, but why do you have to go so far as to give it up to find someone who knows you? After I got married, I would have to cut down on golf and games, but I didn’t want to do that. It’s better to live thinking that you have no relationship with a man.

… But I never thought there would be a great mate closest to me.

Lee Soo-ho, the secretary I’ve been with for 4 years.

The pleasure that her guardian gave her last night was beyond her imagination. It was completely different from what I expected, but now it doesn’t matter anyway. To be honest, I want to put aside the schedule and stay with Suho for three or three days.

But that was impossible. There were not just one or two schedules scheduled for today.

Interview with the Blue House Chief of Staff for Political Affairs.

Negotiations with the floor leader of the Liberal Party for a membership agreement.

And even personnel to fill the party leadership that was completely blown away.

There were not one or two schedules that I had to split my time between. Isn’t it to the point where you have to deal with the feeling of just cutting it off rather than practicing it? Even the slightest mistake in the process was not going to be allowed.

It was because she was the main character who came to the mound to save the Peace Party, which had fallen to the bottom of the abyss.

She didn’t have a sense of a holy mission, but she knew it wasn’t a situation to indulge in pleasure. In any case, even when Suho Lee seriously suggested, “Shall we get rid of everything and start living?”, She had to stop it.

‘I can’t help it. Yeouido is all sh*t.’

I, Hyeri, licked her lips and brought her face closer to Suho.

Originally, Suho didn’t think much of it because she was far from the style she preferred (he’s 160’s, the opposite of middle school, and looks like the youngest member of an idol group), but her taste was no longer a problem.

It makes me think that if she had known this would happen, she would have done something a long time ago.

Suho opened his eyes, probably because he looked at them with too sticky eyes.

A face that stares at the ceiling while turning sideways. Recalling the events of the previous night, her heart began to thump again.

It was Suho who kindly wrapped Na Hye-ri’s cheek as if he had read her thoughts.

“Sister.”

The title “Noona” Sounded familiar to me.

I realized the age difference of eight years old. It was also felt that yesterday I was not worthy of my age and looked unsightly, but even in the middle of it, I was in a good mood. At least she’s better than an older sister than a title like councilor or floor representative.

She didn’t want to return to government affairs yet, so she deliberately brought up a trivial topic.

“I didn’t say anything, but my mom and dad seemed to like you quite a bit. She praised her for being uncharacteristically resolute for her age.”

“I heard that my sister and father only laughed at me?”

“My dad is like that. Whatever happens, I just laugh and pass it over. It might have been because she had such a calm personality, so she could have adapted to her mother and lived…. I’m probably washing the dishes and watching a morning drama in the living room by now. Her mother will be by her side.”

“You look good.”

After talking nonsensically, it really feels like we’ve become lovers.

Her friend, who served as her subordinate for 4 years, is listening to her in a disrespectful way, but she doesn’t feel repulsive. To put it bluntly, there was a bit of awkwardness. Rather than the tone itself being a problem, it was because Suho’s consistent, half-spoken attitude was so natural.

“… I didn’t know you were such a shameless kid.”

“I didn’t know either, actually.”

“I am not gossiping. Being able to lie without blinking an eye and adapting right away as soon as you change your position are very useful skills on this floor. But do you have it as soon as you enter Cho-chan?”

“That… I’ll take that as a compliment.”

“Maybe he has more political talent than golf.”

This was a great compliment.

Suho is a golfer who easily records 69-70 strokes in 18 holes even after drinking a can of beer. To be honest, I still had plenty of chances to pass the pro test.

In golf, professional qualification itself is not a problem, but it is great anyway. Even the flying distance was in the top ranks by professional standards.

To the point where I think that Suho’s mother, who had such talent, made him give up sports, in a bad way, that he was an extraordinary nobleman.

“I don’t know if I have talent, but it’s a situation where I have to scrape off all the talent I don’t have and use them. Thinking of what to do next.”

“… Ah.”

“It’s the same with my sister anyway.”

It was a statement that made me realize that the future schedule is formidable.

Right now, I’m flirting while taking advantage of a temporarily distracted period, but I don’t think this kind of opportunity will come often. As a position is a position, there will be more and more eyes to see in the future, and there are more things to do than that.

Fortunately, there is no way to alleviate this regret.

I, Hyeri, subtly turned her gaze to check her time.

It’s already 7:23 because I overslept.

She was tight, but she could afford it if she skipped breakfast and turned the meeting with the chief of government into a phone call.

The key is Suho’s doctor. She gave a subtle notice, and her reaction came back quickly.

“Hyeri noona. I don’t have time. Shall we wash together?”

Fortunately, Suho seemed to have plenty of stamina.

Finally one more morning.

This was the end of the winning celebration.

Basically, I was just trying to match Na Hye-ri’s beat, but looking back, it was a pretty satisfying time for me too. There were many left over.

But now it was time to return to reality. I will be able to meet you with a smile again when you do the given job properly.

After finishing political life, we should avoid situations where we comfort each other’s wounds. Even more so when you think about how we got closer.

Na Hye-ri moved first.

She was back in her neat clothes before she knew it.

A slit skirt that fully reveals the curves of the pelvis while not causing any discomfort in movement, and a drape blouse that gives off a more glamorous feeling than usual. I could feel that activity was taken into consideration. In fact, it had to be seen as a combat uniform.

It wasn’t just her clothes that could read her determination.

“Ah, we will finalize the non-capital committee and the floor delegation sometime today. Congressman Lee.”

Suho, or Lee, not Suhoya.

It seemed to be understandable as the meaning of dividing the construction work.

No one will take a good look at the floor leader who is talking to a member of the National Assembly of the same party. It’s similar to how she doesn’t look strong when she shoots a minister in a semi-respectful manner at a standing committee, but just a ruthless human being.

I also thought of responding to Na Hye-ri. Now she should be treated as the floor leader and chairman of the Peace Party, not as Hyeri’s older sister.

“You should. Do you have any greetings in mind?”

“Of course there is. And I will give you a duty as well.”

“As you may know, I will be on full-time duty for the time being….”

“I know. As a formality, I will only give you one spot as the deputy floor leader…. There are people who don’t know that Congressman Lee is my aide, but if he doesn’t even wear a coat of arms that first-timers ceremoniously go through, wouldn’t it raise suspicion that he’s communicating in a secret line?”

Listening to what she said, it seems that Hyeri and I have also made up her mind.

Actually, I was thinking of a different duty position, not the vice president of the hospital (a coat of arms given to business cards for fear of making first-timers feel sad), but… I decided to follow Na Hye-ri’s instructions without saying anything. It was to protect her pride.

“Okay. However, I have one request regarding the Standing Committee.”

“I’m going to negotiate with the Liberal Party today… Just tell me.”

“I originally wrote down the Education Committee as the standing committee I hoped for. But I think she might as well move it over the outer tube.”

Foreign Affairs Committee, namely the Foreign Affairs and Unification Committee. Honestly, it was the worst standing committee in terms of the interests of the individual members of the National Assembly. It was because it was difficult to spread something to others and it was unfavorable to raise awareness. However, since it was the strongest to pursue well-being, the leading figures often went there.

An inappropriate standing committee for a first-timer like me.

But I, Hyeri, nodded her head without asking why. He must have noticed that the reason I went to the Foreign Affairs Committee was related to Kwon Ye-sol.

“Okay. Nothing difficult. This time, we can remove one of the major players involved in the Mana Coin Gate and put Congressman Lee in its place.”

“Thank you.”

“What more can I say?”

“No. Good job…. Na Hye-ri, floor leader.”

“Congressman Lee is having a hard time too.”

After Na Hye-ri showed her faint smile, she left the house.

The landlord left and I, the guest, was left alone. It’s no wonder she’ll be visiting from time to time in the future. But she didn’t intend to mess around for long, and after cleaning up the traces of her last night, she left right away.

At the same time, I could feel that the short break was over.

– “Rep. Suho Lee. This is Aram Shin’s assistant…. It seems that the rumor spread that the lawmaker sought advice from a law firm to evade the promise to catch Kwon Ye-sol with 30 billion military funds. As an article posted in one community spread widely, even an article appeared.”

An aide called.

When I looked it up, there were fake news related to my 30 billion won. I am waiting for Kwon Ye-sol to be arrested while I wait, and then I am looking for a way to safely gulp 30 billion. It seemed that a few Cyberrekkas were playing a joke.

As a countermeasure, I would have to sue, but it wasn’t too unpleasant.

Anyway, it was because I was going to focus on catching Kwon Ye-sol from this moment on.
