It was really strange.
So strange, too strange.
“Hey, officer. Those kids pushed me out!”
“Please keep it down.”
It was the first time I had visited a police station since I was born.
The inside of the police station was busier than expected late at night.
There were a lot of guests… Maybe because it’s summer.
“Do you have an ID, sir?”
“Ah, yes.”
At the policeman’s words, Shin Yeon reached for her wallet.
Then, she remembered.
Right, my bag is at the restaurant.
Wait? The dinner party! People will be looking for me!
Shin Yeon, who quickly remembered that she was in the middle of a dinner party, took out her cell phone, but it was no use.
Because it was dead.
“Did you call the dinner party, newcomer?”
“…….”
“Newcomer?”
The newcomer remained silent at her words.
Huh…?
No, are you ignoring my words right now?
“Excuse me, Lee Hyun Woo, the newcomer?”
“Do you have an ID, sir?”
“Ah, yes. I don’t have a bag……”
“Can I have your name and social security number, please.”
What’s wrong? Are you upset?
Shin Yeon, while answering the rushing police officer, kept her eyes fixed on the newcomer.
It bothered her that he kept ignoring her.
“My name is Shin Yeon. My social security number is……”
Shin Yeon was neither as sweet nor as kind as usual.
She looked at his unfamiliar appearance with puzzled eyes.
“Do you have an ID, sir?”
“…….”
Once Shin Yeon’s identity was confirmed, it was the newcomer’s turn.
“If you don’t have one, can I have your name and social security number, please.”
“…….”
However, the newcomer was just silently looking at his toes at the policeman’s words.
It was really strange.
The time when Shin Yeon felt his behavior was strange was when the siren sound of the police car was getting closer.
It was from then on. He seemed like a stranger from somewhere.
“Why don’t you say anything, newcomer?”
“…….”
“Could Hyun Woo maybe…….”
Various thoughts flashed through Shin Yeon’s mind for a moment.
One plausible guess came to mind.
Could it be, the newcomer…
It’s impossible, but unbelievable…
“Do you have a previous conviction?”
Are you on probation or something like that?
Finally, she felt as if all the puzzle pieces had come together.
Why didn’t I think of that?
No, he just wanted to go, even when the man was flung from behind, and he even compensated for the phone the man broke.
Crucially, the newcomer began to frown as soon as he heard the siren.
Upon our arrival at the police station, we were exercising our right to remain silent, even though we were not the culprits.
Good heavens…
No, why would he carry such a warm face around?
Why, what on earth happened…
“Excuse me, sir. Regardless of the nature of the crime reported, all related parties need to disclose their identities.”
Despite the softly chiding words of the police officer, he remained silent as ever.
Since stepping into the police station, he hadn’t uttered a single word.
What’s going on? Why so frightening…
“Excuse me… The team leader, there’s a phone call.”
Then, a police officer holding a telephone intervened.
“Police… The chief… is on the line.”
Huh?
The officer who had been questioning Shin Yeon and the new recruit was shocked and asked.
“The chief? At this hour? It’s not a prank call, right?”
“Well, the call itself comes from the chief’s office number…”
Another unfamiliar voice ensued.
“Young master. Are you okay?”
Suddenly.
Suddenly, a neatly dressed man in a suit entered through the suddenly opened door.
He casually handed his business card to the still dazed officer.
“I am from Kim & Jay Law Firm.”
Kim & Jay?
Could it be that… Kim & Jay?
What on earth is going on?
What’s with the call from the police chief, and who is this ‘young master’?
“No, Lee Hyun Woo… What’s going on right now…”
As Shin Yeon’s confused voice trailed off, the new recruit finally stood up.
“Here’s my ID.”
He pulled out his wallet from his pocket, and presented his ID to the police officer.
The name that followed from the officer’s mouth was quite unfamiliar.
“Mr. Seo Do Jun. Is this you?”
What… did you say?
“It’s me.”
Lee Hyun Woo is… no way?
In front of the unexpected name, Shin Yeon was taken aback, but Do Jun didn’t care.
He was just silently sorting out the situation.
“You should take the call first. It seems like it’s urgent.”
“Oh, Chief!”
At Do Jun’s words, the police officer suddenly regained his senses and quickly moved.
Soon, he turned to the man who appeared to be a lawyer.
“Did you secure the CCTV footage in front of the convenience store?”
“We’ve requested it. You’ve given a brief statement over the phone earlier, so we’ll handle the rest.”
“Thank you.”
At Do Jun’s words, the lawyer nodded his head.
Wait… excuse me?
“Excuse me, Mr. Lee Hyun Woo…”
A confusing situation.
The cautious tone in her voice as she called out the new recruit.
Only then did the new recruit turn around and meet Shin Yeon’s gaze.
The longing in Shin Yeon’s eyes for an explanation from him was rather poignant.
“My name is Seo Do Jun.”
