Chapter 56 - The thing

It's the two detectives from before and they join Bong Soon and her dad

Detective Geum:(suspicious ) What brings you here on a school night?

Bong Soon:(nervous)  My dad practically begged me

B.S dad:(sobbing)I'm just a man with a broken heart.

Detective Ji: We've all been here(pouring him another drink)I'll  drink with you brother

Detective Geum: (chuckles) Brother

Detective Ji:Yes, you won't get it .(proud)It's a thing between men.

Detective Geum: (sarcastic) Not sexist at all

Bong Soon:(laughing)  I see that you guys haven't changed

Detective Ji:(smirking)  Well that wench might not have changed ,but I got more handsome

Detective Geum: (pissed) Who are you calling a wench, (annoyed) handsome my foot

Bong Soon: (laughing) Omo Omo,enough with the fighting. Drink up  it's on me

Detective Geum:(sulking) My life must really suck if a highschool kid is buying my soju

Bong Soon: Don't think of it that way,I never got the chance to properly thank you

Detective Ji: You don't need to, we are the ones who should be thanking you for doing our job...but then again if you insist  whose stopping you

Detective Geum: (annoyed) Aish  he couldn't get any tackier ,what a cheapskate

Detective Ji: What!

Bong  Soon :Aish don't mind that  I've been called a cheapskate multiple times too it's nothing major....So what brings you here?

Detective Ji: This is our favourite spot ,we come here all the  time

Bong Soon: I see, it's nice running into familiar faces.

Detective Geum: Same here Nancy Drew

Bong Soon:Aish don't call me that, I get shy

Detective Ji:Well you did help us crack that case.

Bong Soon: About that....

Detective Geum:Mmm what

Bong Soon: Did you ever have any luck finding Mr Shin's partner ?

Detective Ji: No not yet, he didn't give us much to work on.

Bong Soon:(disappointed)  I see ,I also tried but all I got were dead ends

B.S dad:You shouldn't  be focusing on those bad memories, focus on your grades

Detective Ji: You should listen to your father,try being like any other teenager 

Bong Soon :I am focusing on school,but I just want justice to be served

Detective Geum: Well since you are desperate I can tell you something

Bong Soon:(intrigued)  What is it

Detective Geum:(hesitant)  Well....

Detective Ji: You can't possibly be about to tell her.The captain said it's confidential

Detective Geum:(defensive) Aish she'll keep it between us ,right Bong Soon

Bong Soon: Yes detective

Detective Ji:Go ahead ,but If anything goes wrong and she spills I was never at this table.

Bong Soon: Okay okay that won't happen

Detective Geum: (whispering) Well you remember how the people kept on commiting suicide and dying once in jail

Bong Soon: Yes

Detective Geum: Well it turns out that ..

Detective Ji:(cutting her off) Someone was behind it all

Detective Geum: (annoyed) Aish I thought you weren't at this table

Detective Ji: (shy)I got ahead of myself ,I'll keep quiet.

Bong Soon:(impatient)  Go on..

Detective Geum: Well we're yet to find out who it is but all we know is he's a male

Bong Soon: How do you know that

Detective Ji:CCTV footage

Bong Soon: (confused) But you don't know who it is

Detective Geum :That punk managed to avoid the cameras each time

Bong Soon: (confused)  Wait why did it seem like they did it willingly

Detective Geum: Well we still don't know how he convinced them to do it but what ever he had against them was something big

Bong Soon: As the victims of the last incident weren't we supposed to be notified that there's this creep ,who still isn't named.

Detective Geum:The captain is trying to keep it under wraps since it seems that there's a mole within the department, this would be really bad for us  so he's trying to catch the criminal without alerting anyone

Bong Soon: Aish but you still have to inform us,I could be living with the enemy once again.

Detective Ji: We've already checked out your staff they all came out clean

Bong Soon: (suspicious) You did that!

Detective Geum: Yes we were keeping tabs on all of you  and seems like everything is in check,whoever was doing that hasn't come after you yet

Bong Soon:Could he be the partner who Mr Shin was talking about?

Detective Ji: Yes he could be the partner, they  might have turned against  each other in the end.We'll only know once we catch him.

Bong Soon: I knew it wasn't over

Detective Geum: It is ,now don't do anything we are taking care of it

Bong Soon: So is there anything else you know about him besides being male?

Detective Ji: Sadly no, he's like a phantom

B.S dad: Aigoo that just have me chills

Detective Geum: Enough about that ,let's drink.

Bong Soons dad gets wasted and she takes him to his apartment then returns home

She just sits on her bed thinking

Bong Soon: They must be stupid if they think I won't look into this.

Tuesday

Myung Soo: I heard about the dinner,sorry I wasn't there to help you

Bong Soon: (sad)It's okay ,I guess I have to get used to it.Things will never be the same.

Myung Soo:(sad) My dad should've just left.

Bong Soon:(laughing) It's okay ...anyway enough of this sad stuff. Go to class already

Myung Soo: Only after I get a kiss

Bong Soon: (shy)But everyone is watching

Myung Soo: (smirks)Who cares.

He steals a kiss from her then runs off

Bong Soon: (blushing )Omo

She starts fanning herself and notices that everyone is just looking at her and She just runs off to class shy.

In class

They have their lesson and in the middle of it there is an announcement

Announcer:Good morning

A student from this school has  been admitted to the hospital after having an overdose.The drugs he used were said to have come from someone from this school. If you have any information about this, you can come report it and remain anonymous.

Stay safe,have a good day

Everyone starts discussing this

Bong Soon: Do you know who it is

Soo Hyun :No,not at all

Min Ho: Could be anyone, alot of these kids use drugs.

Mr Hei: Okay class calm down now.You should never use drugs okay, now let's go back to our lesson.

Breaktime

Bong Soon: Do you guys know who the kid is

Myung Soo: Nah

Won Ho: It won't be long till they post about it

Just as he finishes the sentence the whole school receives the article from the school page (aka GOSSIPERS).

Myung Soo: No wonder why they took so long to post about ,it's one of their members  who overdosed

Bong Soon: (surprised) I saw that guy yesterday, Aish after giving  him such an expensive watch he almost dies.

Won Ho: (laughing) It's your bad luck rubbing off on him.

Bong Soon: (annoyed) You never run out of things to say.

Myung Soo: So now who sold him the drugs,(looking around the cafeteria)  everyone here looks like a suspect

Min Young: We'll find out soon ,nothing stays hidden at this school.

Evening

Mr So:The information you asked for is in this file young master

Soo Hyun: Give me a quick summary

Mr So:Well they are a local gang ,they run that part of town.They do all sorts of jobs stealing ,selling drugs ,murder ...you name it

Soo Hyun: Wait ,DRUGS!

Mr So:Yes

Soo Hyun: Okay leave me alone now

Mr So:Okay young master

He just paces about in his room

Soo Hyun: Kim Bong Soon what have you gotten yourself into.

Wednesday

Bong Soon wakes up and it's "ONE OF THOSE DAYS"

Bong Soon: Aish this is when I wish I was a boy.

She gets ready and goes off to school.After just settling in class Soo Hyun drags her out of class

Bong Soon: What is it now

Soo Hyun: Are you in trouble

Bong Soon: No ,why ask.

Soo Hyun: I know about (whispers) the thing

Bong Soon: (nervous) Ummm ...which thing

Soo Hyun: You know (emphasizing) THE THING

Bong Soon: (in her mind)Omo does he know I'm on my period.Did I spoil myself ?(outloud)OH NO!

She just runs off to the toilet  leaving Soo Hyun dumbfound making him believe he's on the right track

Bong Soon  checks her skirt and she has spoilt her skirt a bit.Unknowingly  Soo Hyun just saved her.She changes into her back up skirt and goes back to class

As they are going for their break he tries to approach her but she's too embarrassed to talk to him so she worms her way out of talking to him  but at lunch time she's not so lucky
