United Nations Human Resources Development: Asia
Branch

As soon as Jeong Taeui arrived at Chek Lap Kok
airport, he saw a car waiting to pick him up. A tall man who didn’t look like a
driver at all quietly walked towards his uncle and put his suitcase in the
trunk, while Jeong Taeui only carried his only luggage, a small Boston
backpack, he put his backpack next to his uncle’s suitcase, then opened the car
door and sat down next to his uncle.

The pamphlet his uncle had given him had brief
descriptions of where he was going along with a few photos. The truth is that
these newspapers promoting foreign affairs often do not have any really useful
information, it only takes a few minutes for you to see all the information in
them. But before leaving, he also tried to do a quick search about that place.

The car left the airport while Jeong Taeui finished
reading the book and fanned himself with it. The uncle sitting next to him
immediately took the book back from Jeong Taeui’s hand, then turned a few pages
and smiled. Surely he also thinks that printing this book is a useless waste of
paper.

“Easier to understand, it is a place for officials
from public and private organizations in each country or a certain organization
to train key people for them.”

“Speaking so rhetorically, in the end, it’s just
raising and selling people to organizations in other countries, isn’t it?”

“What are you talking about? Anyway, there’s a long
line of people who want to be sold like that.”

Even though he didn’t mean any criticism, his uncle
still responded without any discomfort.

Jeong Taeui took back the book his uncle gave him.
Instead of the boring words, he was attracted by the pictures on it. That is
the image of men standing in rows with solemn faces, the training room is
equipped with the most advanced and modern technology.

“Are any of the people in this photo your type?”

The guy next to him looked over and looked at the
book together and smiled. Jeong Taeui frowned and shook his head.

“My taste isn’t that easy… I don’t want to hug these
tall, big guys with manly scents like this. I like someone who is soft and
lovely, smells like soap or milk. But I think that person probably doesn’t
exist in this industry.”

“Does it smell like soap or milk… Having sex with a
minor is illegal even in China. Let’s see, just get past the iron fence of the
branch and it is in fact an extra-territorial jurisdiction. But there are no
minors there either. As for the rest, feel free to touch it.”

*Extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ): the legal ability of a government
to exercise authority beyond its normal boundaries => This means that
outside the territorial boundaries of the branch, UNHRDO laws are not applied.*

“….Uncle. How can a decent person turn into a
criminal who molested a minor in the blink of an eye like that… I’ve never
met any kids in the single digits or anyone in their teens.”

Changin chuckled. Jeong Taeui looked intently at his
uncle then raised his voice and said casually.

“If you were twenty years younger, you might be
exactly my style.”

Only then did the smile disappear from his uncle’s
face for a moment. He blinked and looked at him strangely, but then laughed
again. He shrugged as if he understood and then changed the subject.

“Once you get there, you’ll find it. Any questions?”

“Let see…. You have to know something to be
able to ask questions, but I don’t know anything, so just go with the
flow.”

Jeong Taeui put the book down on his knees and
looked out the window. The road from the airport to the city center always has
a similar shape. The highway was clear and there was nothing special to see.
Jeong Taeui immediately opened his mouth.

“Hyung also worked at the US headquarters before,
right?”

*형 (hyeong; hyung) Literal meaning: “older
brother” Is also used to call: A male friend or a male sibling who’s older than
you (as a male) => Jeong Jaeui* “Jaeui? Right. That kid is so smart that
Brain House still covets him now.” Jeong Taeui briefly looked back at his
uncle.

“What is Brain House? Is the headquarters and
branches divided like that?

“Not exactly, but in general it’s like that. The
headquarters is considered Brain House because even if a member has a physical
disability but has a smart mind, you can still enter. If you want to enter a
branch, you must have physical strength… But that doesn’t mean you can enter
a branch just by being good at fighting and not having brains. Simply put, the
branch aims to train people like MacGyver.” (A famous agent in a series of the
same name.)

*MacGyver (1985 TV series): The show follows secret agent Angus
MacGyver, played by Richard Dean Anderson, who works as a troubleshooter for
the fictional Phoenix Foundation in Los Angeles and as an agent for a fictional
United States government agency, the Department of External Services (DXS).*

“MacGyver… I don’t have the confidence
to reach that level.” “Why, just roll around in there for a few months and
you’ll be fine.”

Jeong Taeui looked at his uncle talking happily with
a bored expression.

So the branches aren’t that different, right?”

“Um, that’s right. The training process is the same.
But there are times when there will be joint training sessions between branches
depending on the circumstances. However, each branch has a different
atmosphere. The South American members are a bit crazy, the African branch is
very cruel, the ones from Australia are a bit unlucky and the Europeans are all
extremely unlucky.”

Its cheerful voice and content are unique. Jeong
Taeui silently exclaimed.

“Is this branch’s relationship with the European
side bad?”

“The relationship between headquarters and branches
is not very good, nor is the relationship between branches. They are inherently
competitive people. Among them, the Asian branch and the European branch have
the worst relationship. Every year there will be a joint training session
lasting 15 days, very bloody….. but worth watching.”

“…….”

This uncle, instead of considering the European
branch as bad luck, seemed to enjoy the bloody atmosphere.

How to say. His uncle didn’t look friendly at all,
but nonetheless, the thoughts in his head and appearance were very
significantly different. Sometimes a person as familiar with him as he is also
has to open his mouth in bewilderment.

Jeong Taeui buried himself in the chair, feeling
comfortable having a place soft and comfortable enough to take a nap.

His uncle came like a storm and took him away. He
had to go out for several days and couldn’t even rest properly. If he closed
his eyes, he could immediately fall asleep.

Perhaps he realized that Jeong Taeui was about to
fall asleep, so he quietly spoke.

“If you want to adapt in a short time, it’s a bit
difficult. Even though I want to tell you to close your eyes right now, we’ll
be at the dock in a little while. You’ll probably be even more tired after
sleeping.”

“The dock?”

Jeong Taeui turned his head. He doesn’t know when
cars entered the inner city, the road gradually filled with buildings. Messy
signs were scattered overhead with old buildings similar to where Jeong Taeui
lived located close together. Just look up at the brightly sparkling stores to
see hanging racks of freshly washed clothes protruding from the crumbling,
cracked and peeling buildings.

“Is the Asia branch on Hong Kong Island?”

“Not.”

“But why do we have to go to the docks?”

“We have to go by boat.”

“…. So it’s in Macau?”

The uncle burst out laughing. Jeong Taeui looked at
his uncle shyly. They were heading to Kowloon, but if not Hong Kong Island,
then Macau was the only name that came to his mind right now.

The uncle shook his head.

“It’s an island. This island is quite far from Hong
Kong Island. Administratively it belongs to

Hong Kong – China, but in reality it is an
extra-territorial jurisdiction. The Asian branch of UNHRDO is located there.”

“Ha… …it’s like prisoners being locked up on a
remote island for fear of them escaping like the old days.”

“I can’t deny that that place has absolutely no
such intentions.”

He still smiled and spoke, then looked at Jeong
Taeui.

“Changing shifts every two weeks. From 5pm on Friday
to 5pm on Sunday, your child will be free to move, so go out and play then. To
serve members, there will be boats to Hong Kong Island and Kowloon Peninsula on
that day.”

“Hearing what you say….”

“Hmm?”

“There is only the Asia branch of UNHRDO there,
right?”

“Bingo.”

Jeong Taeui smiled bitterly and shook his head.

After crossing the street in the middle of the city
center and turning into a towering hotel, he saw a dock in the distance.

Jeong Taeui, who was indifferently looking at Hong
Kong Island out at sea, which could easily be seen at this location, suddenly
turned his head.

“I’m curious about one more thing.”

“Huh?”

“What should I call you there?”

Uncle laughed. And he replied with a face that mixed
an expression between a family member and a superior.

“Officer Jeong Changin, in short, instructor.”
