Eun Soo didn’t usually like food with a strong fishy taste.
However, ever since she became pregnant, she seemed to have changed her taste in food. She had grown to love fish so much that she had to eat it every day.
Eun Soo picked at the wellgrilled mackerel with her chopsticks.
“Do you know how to debone a fish?”
“Huh?”
“Watch how I do it.”
Byeol moved the dish with the grilled mackerel towards her.
She took out a new spoon and chopsticks from the utensil container and began to skillfully debone the fish.
“Here, eat this.”
“Thank you.”
While eating the grilled mackerel, Eun Soo tilted her head at the sight of the food placed in front of Byeol.
The food Byeol was eating was bracken soup with pork.
Not long after Eun Soo arrived in Jeju Island, she had ordered the bracken soup with pork at this restaurant.
She thought it would be the usual hot beef soup she knew, but the food that was served was completely different.
It was only then that she learned that bracken soup with pork was made by putting finely torn bracken into a rich soup made from pork bones.
“Do you like that?”
“This?”
“Yes.”
“I was surprised at first, wondering what kind of taste it was. But now I find it delicious.”
Byeol took a large spoonful of the soup, tasted it, and then whispered quietly.
“Doesn’t the soup taste just like snot?”
“……”
“Oh, sorry to mention it while eating. I just thought that when I first saw bracken soup with pork. But since I like pork soup, it turned out fine. After eating it a few times, it became the food I have to eat whenever I feel drained.”
Byeol continued to enjoy her bracken hangover soup as she spoke.
Even while they were eating, the rain continued to pour. Eun Soo, who finished eating first, picked up a napkin. Perhaps because of the humid air, the napkin felt heavy, soaked with moisture.
“They say the rain at this time is the bracken monsoon.”
“The bracken monsoon?”
“After the rain stops, the bracken sprouts.”
“Ah……”
“The ones that were huddled underground during winter grow suddenly upon being rained on.”
As Eun Soo listened to Byeol’s story, she looked out the window again.
She had only thought of it as a long rain.
Was it thanks to the story of the bracken monsoon?
The gently falling rain seemed different.
After the tedious rain passed, the day would clear up as before.
Eun Soo, who had been momentarily lost in thought, took out her cell phone and dialed Yeong Ran’s number.
She had planned to meet after the 49thday memorial for her mother.
But she began to think, what’s the point of having a grace period until then?
If the falling rain cannot be avoided and won’t stop easily, it’s better to continue on the path, accepting the rain.
After being rained on again and again, she would grow silently, like the bracken.
“They say this year’s bracken monsoon will be longer than usual.”
“Is that so?”
Eun Soo asked as she lowered her phone from her hand.
“How much does the bracken want to grow to be like this.”
At Byeol’s words, which sounded like those of an elderly grandmother, Eun Soo burst into laughter.
Eun Soo laughed out loud after a long time. With her laughter, a short vibration rang from the phone on the table.
A reply came from Yeong Ran.
The day after tomorrow.
Eun Soo murmured to herself.
The monsoon that had long continued in her heart seemed like it might finally stop around that time.
Hyuk Joo believed that it wasn’t Eun Soo’s will to leave home.
If it were as Yeong Ran said, if Eun Soo wanted it, if she wished to leave my side, she wouldn’t have said such things during our last call.
She had said that she would wait, that she missed me.
“Haah……”
But it was as uncomfortable as if a needle was stuck in her throat.
It was because of the anxiety that those words Eun Soo had said to me might have been a lie.
A lie to reassure herself for a perfect disappearance.
At the sound of a knock, Hyuk Joo raised his head.
“Come in.”
The door opened, and Chief Song entered.
“The thing you asked me to check?”
“Here it is.”
At the same time as the answer, Chief Song put the printed copies of the personnel record cards on the desk. They were of the executives classified as Yeong Ran’s aides.
Excluding those who were still at the headquarters, there weren’t many.
“Is Chief Hwang Hyun Kyung the only one who recently changed her work location?”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
Hyuk Joo shifted his gaze to the monitor.
As he looked at the monitor, his eyebrows raised slightly. A file of real estate listings in the name of Moon Yeong Ran and her aides was open on the screen.
There were three properties in the name of Chief Hwang Hyun Kyung.
An apartment in Cheongdamdong, a fivestory building in Suwon, and a townhouse in Jeju Island.
“A curator, who has no connection with her job, suddenly transferred to a resort.”
“She plans to open a gallery at the resort in Jeju Island.”
“Since when?”
“The time is still……”
“No. When did that plan start?”
Hyuk Joo spoke with a hollow laugh.
It was a plan he had heard of for the first time.
Whether they were to open a new gallery or do anything, they were supposed to submit a business plan.
Even if it was a business driven by Director Moon Yeong Ran, who held the real power.
There was only one reason to send an aide all the way to Jeju Island for the sudden opening of a gallery without even a basic business plan.
Hyuk Joo rubbed his furrowed forehead with his fingers.
“The business plan that was scrapped at the beginning of last year because it was unprofitable was the opening of a gallery in Jeju.”
“Ah… that’s correct.”
Chief Song also nodded his head with a confident expression, remembering it.
“Do you remember who opposed it at that time?”
“It was Director Moon Yeong Ran.”
“Right. Did that person change her mind in just one year?”
That’s ridiculous. Hyuk Joo muttered to himself quietly.
A year ago, there was an idea to open a gallery near a resort in Jeju Island. However, it was canceled due to Director Moon Yeong Ran’s strong opposition.
Director Moon Yeong Ran was not the kind of person who reversed her decisions.
Knowing this well, Hyuk Joo became sure of the vague guess he had when he heard the story of the Jeju Island gallery.
The fact that Eun Soo was in Jeju Island.
