Chapter 74 - Mr Shin

"I remember now!"

Bong Soon: I saw him a couple days ago when I went to Myung Soo's house.He was leaving with Mr Chan.

Detective Geum:I guess they are friends.Does it have anything to do with the calls

Bong Soon: No ,I just knew I'd seen him somewhere.

Detective Geum:I see

Bong Soon: Anyway thanks for doing this ,I'll leave you to do your work.

Detective Geum: Okay just stay out of trouble

Bong Soon: I will.

She leaves the station confused about it all.

Bong Soon: What would Mr Chan gain from all this.Why does he have such a big issue with my dad getting a job....i can't just go and ask him....Aish I need to clear my head .

She goes off to the arcade

Bong Soon: (smiling) Home sweet home.

She goes in and starts playing her game.

MEANWHILE .....The boys arrive at Mr Kim's apartment

B.S dad:What brings you here

Soo Hyun: We have a new plan

Min Ho:We finally got the opening we've been looking for.

B.S dad:(intrigued)  Tell me more

Soo Hyun: We're going camping so Mr Hei wont be in his apartment for three days

Min Ho:This will be our chance to go in and place the cameras and microphones  .

B.S dad:So I have to do all that?

Soo Hyun: Well you can't do it all on your own so you'll have to come pick us up.The place we're going camping to isn't that far away. We just have to sneak out and be back before sunrise

B.S dad:(impressed) Your plans never cease to amaze me

Min Ho: Spy movies contribute the most.

Soo Hyun: Plus we're just smart

Min Ho: (smiling) God really gave us everything. Thank you.

MEANWHILE...back at the arcade Bong Soon has an epiphany

Bong Soon: What if he's the one who made my dad lose his job in the first place...He's the only one benefiting from my parents divorce....But why would he do that.

Suddenly she hears a voice behind her say "Why would he do what?"

Bong Soon: (surprised) Omo ,what's brings you here sir

Mr Hei:Please don't address me in that manner you're  making me feel so old

Bong Soon: I'm sorry,it's a habit

Mr Hei:(smirking) Habits can change

Bong Soon: I heard you're back at school,welcome back.

Mr Hei:Yes staying home was getting boring

Bong Soon: I'd give anything for that

Mr Hei:(chuckles) You're quite funny,

Bong Soon  :(sarcastic) I've been told

Mr Hei:(sitting next to her)So who were you talking about

Bong Soon:(nervous) Ummmm...noone I was just thinking outloud

Mr Hei:Doesn't seem that way,looks like something is bothering you

Bong Soon: What are you even doing here ?

Mr Hei:I love gaming,I come here all the time. Sometimes just to take pictures

Bong Soon: Pictures of What

Mr Hei:Fellow gamers,but that's not what were talking about answer my question

Bong Soon: Do you trust people around

Mr Hei:I trust you

Bong Soon: But we're not close so I don't count  ,I mean people who are always around you.Friends,family, family of friends....

Mr Hei:I trust no-one life has taught me that.

Bong Soon: I see...

Mr Hei:So who is this mystery guy

Bong Soon: Its no-one you know

Mr Hei:What did he do then?

Bong Soon: I'm not really sure yet,

Mr Hei:Then don't think too much about it,okay

Bong Soon: Okay,well it was nice seeing you .I have to get going

Mr Hei:(sulking) You won't even play with me

Bong Soon: I'm nolonger in the mood,maybe next time

Mr Hei:Maybe

Bong Soon goes to the bus stop and waits for the bus.As she's just sitting there a man comes by and hands her a paper and simply says "You dropped this". The man  goes off not giving her a chance to replie or look at his face leaving her puzzled

Bong Soon:(confused)  But this isn't mine...

She opens the paper and the first sentence is "Act normal,they are watching you."

She just scans her surroundings and there's no-one suspicious.

She reads the second line which says "Meet me tomorrow  at 9.00pm the apartment Mr S got arrested."

Bong Soon: (confused) Mr S?...Mr Shin!

Suddenly the buy arrives ,she scans her surroundings once more then gets on .

She just stares at the paper throughout the bus ride and when she gets home she heads straight up to her room

Bong Soon: Who's watching me...Who is the man who gave me that paper....Is this a trap...Does this have anything to do with Mr Chan?....Whats going on!

As much as she thinks about she only has one option, which is going to meet this man.She's  in dire need of answers.

Sunday

She wakes up early eager for the day to end already. She heads downstairs for breakfast

B.S mom: (sulking) These days you're scarce, you've forgotten your own mother

Bong Soon:(hugging her) I could never

B.S mom: Pretty sure you spend more time with your dad.How did job hunting go anyway ?

Bong Soon:It went horribly, seems like they all had no vacancies.

B.S mom:Finding a job is hard these days.If it's that important to you he can come work for me

Bong Soon: We both know he won't agree to that

B.S mom: I'm not the one who asked him to cheat

Bong Soon: He said it's not true, give him the benefit of the doubt.

B.S mom: That's what any cheating person would say.

Bong Soon: You're cheating on him now with Mr Chan even though you haven't divorced

B.S mom: This is different we're already separated so I can see whoever I want.

Bong Soon: Out of all the men why'd you choose Mr Chan.

B.S mom:Well he was very supportive of me during the scandal with your dad.

Bong Soon: (suspicious) I see.Does he treat you well?

B.S mom: Like a princess

Bong Soon:(curious)  Does he ever ask for business favours or something ?

B.S mom: No,wait when did this turn into an interrogation?

Bong Soon: (laughing) It's not we're just making conversation.

B.S mom: (suspicious) Mmm.... I see

Bong Soon: Does he ever show a hidden bad side or something like that

B.S mom:No! seriously what's gotten into you.You know him very well ,he just a nice person,the  nicest person I've ever met.

Bong Soon: (in mind )I thought so too.(outloud) Yes he is ..."nice"

Suddenly her mom's phone starts to ring

B.S mom:Yes  ...yes...I'll be there in a little bit

She ends the call

B.S mom: Duty calls

Bong Soon: Those people are abusing you,you can't even rest on the weekend. 

B.S mom:That's a what happens when you're the captain of a ship, you get called for every single thing. You'll understand when you take over for me.

Bong Soon: I don't want to

B.S mom: Who will I pass it down to then

Bong Soon:(sarcastic)  I don't know,you should've had more kids

B.S mom: Aish this kid

Bong Soon: (teasingly) Better get going before your ship sinks"captain ".

B.S mom:(kissing her) Okay okay,have a nice day

Bong Soon: Same to you

As soon as her mom leaves she gets ready to head out to the Chan's .Myung Soo opens the  door

Myung Soo:(surprised)  What are you doing here

Bong Soon:(sarcastic)  Can't i just surprise my boyfriend

Myung Soo:(smiling) You totally can,come in
