Residents who had been secretly watching from behind a pillar scattered quickly as Professor Choi Tae Hyuk approached.
“Nam Ho Jin!”
But Nam Ho Jin, the one who had spread the rumors the fastest, got caught by Professor Tae Hyuk and couldn’t escape.
As Ho Jin turned with a terrified look, Tae Hyuk gestured with his finger.
Come here right now.
Ho Jin looked at Na Young, pleading with his eyes for help, but she remained as impassive as a bystander watching a fire across the river.
Ho Jin needed a proper scolding at least once to stop causing trouble.
After scolding Ho Jin, Tae Hyuk seemed even more pleased. He really couldn’t stand being on the receiving end.
“But aren’t you afraid of what Lee Ju Ah might spread?”
“I think people at the hospital would believe what I say as someone they work with, rather than the words of a VIP patient’s daughter who throws her weight around.”
Tae Hyuk looked at her, surprised.
“And I just acted in a way that upset Ju Ah. So, if she spreads rumors, people will think it’s her way of getting back at me.”
“So, was that calculated action just now?”
You didn’t save me?
Na Young glanced at Tae Hyuk and spoke professionally.
“It’s still work hours. I’ll go to the ER now.”
Tae Hyuk watched her leave with a feeling of futility. He was deeply moved by her actions.
It was a relief that Na Young wasn’t downhearted by the Ju Ah incident. She seemed stronger than before.
But Tae Hyuk couldn’t just do nothing, so he took out his phone and called Hong Sik.
“Hong Sik, I’m counting on you. Find anything.”
“I’m not trying to fight; I’m trying to protect.”
As he spoke on the phone, Tae Hyuk looked in the direction Na Young had gone.
“I won’t forgive anyone who hurts her.”
[Brother, what’s with you? Are your old habits coming back? We’ll end up at the police station again.]Hong Sik tried to calm him down, but no one could stop him now.
“I have to take responsibility for the child I saved.”
[What?]The teddy bear, Detective Park Jae Su, and the incident 17 years ago – everything pointed to Na Young being that child.
17 years ago.
The phrase Tae Hyuk heard most often since his birth was ‘unlucky child.’
Born after the death of both his parents, it wasn’t surprising he was labeled so.
Moreover, his only guardian, his grandfather, was obsessed with money and lacked the integrity to raise his grandson properly.
Thus, young Tae Hyuk was nothing short of a little devil, completely unfit for human company.
“Your father was a policeman who protected people, and you end up in a police station for beating people!”
The first person to properly scold him was Detective Park Jae Su, a partner of his father whom he had never seen.
It was from Park Jae Su that Tae Hyuk first learned his father had been a policeman.
From then on, getting dragged to the police station for fights became a shameful matter.
So, Tae Hyuk began channeling his irrepressible rebellious spirit in another direction. He started catching petty criminals with his own hands. It was more satisfying to both engage in fights and enact social justice. However, his grandfather started scolding him for this.
“You are a student, not a policeman! Why are you running around catching those thugs?”
His grandfather was so incensed that he stormed the police station, accusing Detective Park Jae Su of influencing Tae Hyuk. Embarrassed by his grandfather’s behavior, Tae Hyuk ran away from home for the first time. And it was Detective Park Jae Su who brought him back home again.
“Your grandfather is scared you’ll turn out like your father.”
But Tae Hyuk couldn’t live a quiet life just studying for his grandfather’s sake. He would suffocate.
That day, he skipped school and enjoyed a motorcycle ride. Seoul felt too small for his boiling blood at 17, so he decided to head all the way to Busan.
Thud, thud.
He heard a dull thudding sound and looked around. The road was full of cars, so the sound seemed out of place. Puzzled, he turned his head forward when he heard the sound again.
Thud, thud.
The sound was coming from a parked black SUV with heavily tinted windows, so much so that nothing inside was visible.
‘Could it be coming from this car?’
Tae Hyuk stared intently at the SUV. As the traffic light turned from orange to green, the sound came again.
Thud, thud.
This time, the noise was clearly from the trunk of the SUV. As soon as the signal changed, the car took off, and Tae Hyuk’s motorcycle followed.
Vroom.
Riding next to the SUV, Tae Hyuk shouted to the driver.
“Hey! What have you got in the trunk?”
The SUV sped up, trying to outrun him.
‘See about that.’
Tae Hyuk decided to chase the car instead of heading to Busan. He was a hot-blooded 17-year-old who dived headfirst into even the smallest of matters. He felt an irresistible urge to see what was inside that trunk.
