" I forgot to tell you earlier, your parents didn't die from the accident"
" WHAT-"
" When I caught a glimpse of your memory, I saw this man strangling your father while he was still alive, I am not sure if it is the same person you bumped into, but he was wearing a black hoodie and had this long scar on his face"
" It's him, it's the same guy..... I am going to make them pay for every single person they have hurt..."
*The next day at school*
In-ha sees Ji-a and Kyung-hoon and tries to approach them, but they ignore her and walk away. Ji-chul had just arrived and notices In-ha.
" HI!" Ji-chul smiles and greets In-ha
"Hi..." *sigh*
" What happened, why do you sound down?"
" Ji-a and Kyung-hoon are ignoring me"
" Why don't you tell them? I think they need to know since they've been your friends from childhood"
" How do you know that"
" I can hear whatever you think, remember?"
" Then why did you ask me why I was down? When you can hear everything."
" Ummm, Formality?"
" Please get lost..." *sigh*
In-ha walks away and Ji-chul follows her quietly like a pet dog. When they reached their classroom In-ha tried to talk with Ji-a but she gave her a cold stare.
" Students, get back to your seats"
*sigh*
" You have been sighing the whole day, why don't you just talk it out with them, at least my ears will get some rest, and can you be quiet with your thoughts."
" Can you do me a help?"
" What is it?"
" Keep your mouth shut, unless you want it ripped off" *sigh*
" Lord, you are scary"
*In-ha glares at Ji-chul*
*gulp* " H-A-H-A, just a joke, you can continue with your sighing"
*RING*
" So today is the last day of school before the summer holidays, hope you all have a nice vacation! Goodbye!"
*sigh* "What do I do, if I don't talk to Ji-a today she won't come to me this whole summer...." In-ha says with a sulking face
" I can't bear to see you like this. Hold on,*shouts* JI-A!!! IN-HA WANTS TO HAVE A TALK WITH YOU...."
" What are you doing!?" In-ha says looking flustered.
Ji-chul pushes In-ha towards Ji-a, In-ha slowly approaches Ji-a
" What is it that you wanted to tell me, I thought you couldn't share anything with us" *cold*
" Come on, don't be like this. I'll tell your everything.."
" You think I am a pushover? Just telling me everything won't make up for what you have done" *looks at In-ha*
*smirk* " Got it! It's on me today"
" Of course it's on you"
*In-ha looks at Kyung-hoon with puppy eyes*
*gross* " Ewww! stop!"
" So did you also forgive me?" *cute*
" Yeah, whatever."
" umm- well- He can also tag along right?"
*everyone looks at Ji-chul*
" If he wants to, he helped us get back together"
" I WOULD LOVE TO!" Ji-chul shouts"
*At the tteokbokki shop*
" Let's empty out In-ha's pocket" Ji-a says with an evil smile while looking at the menu. " let's get back to the point, What was it that you were hiding from us?"
" It's a long story, brace yourself, so the thing is that, my parents didn't die in an accident, they were killed, It was all planned, and when I went through some of my dad's files, I found out that Ji-chul's dad was also working on the same case as my dad, and he was also killed 5 years ago, Both our parents were killed, but it was covered up as accident and suicide.."
*shocked* " why would you hide something this big from us!!!!!!" Both Ji-a and Kyung-hoon said in a harmony.
" I am sorry.."
" Yes, you should be!" * Ji-a feeling betrayed*
" So did you find any lead on who it could be?" Kyung-hoon asked curiously.
" The cases both our fathers were working on, SQ group, their last case was on SQ group."
" SQ group.... Isn't that the wealthiest conglomerate in our country?"
" yes"
" What makes you think it's them? Ji-a asked.
" Both our parents died on the same day, almost at the same time, both the cases were covered up. And to cover up something this serious, you need both money and power, the only suspect we have here is SQ."
" Hmmm, things kind of make sense now" Ji-a said while frowning. " What do you plan on doing now?"
" For now we have Ji-chul's dad's colleague helping us, and we are also going through the files we found, We plan on destroying SQ as a whole"
" What are you going to do after you gather information?" Kyung-hoon asked
" We can't trust the police anymore, we will have to find some other way to bring out the truth..." Ji-chul said
" We'll also look into some ideas" Ji-a said
They all get out of the tteokbokki place after having a long talk and finishing their food.
" You both can go ahead me and Ji-chul still have some work to get done" In-ha said.
" Well, that's fine I guess, we will get going then, bye.."
Ji-a and Kyung-hoon walk back to their houses while In-ha and Ji-chul head off to visit a mobile shop to recover Ji-chul's dad's phone.
" Hi uncle, I called you saying I wanted to recover a phone."
" Yes, yes come on in"
"Do you think you will be able to recover this?"
" It is cracked up, but I think it'll be a piece of cake to have this recovered."
" Thank you so much, How long is it going to take?"
" Around 15minutes? You both can sit there and wait"
" Ok"
*after 12 minutes*
" Here you go, it took lesser time than I thought it would take. It's all good to go now."
" Thank you again uncle, Then we will get going."
" Be careful on your way back, It's pretty dark already"
" Yes we will, bye."
In-ha and Ji-chul take off from the mobile shop. Ji-chul and In-ha are headed over to In-ha's place, when suddenly In-ha feels that someone is following them. She tuns and checks but doesn't see anyone.
" What is it? Is something wrong?"
" I have been feeling this for a while, I feel like some is following us.."
*turns* " I don't see anyone, don't worry I think you are just imagining"
" Yea I guess, I must be tired"
" If you are tired let's go through the phone tomorrow, you should rest today."
" I think that's good, you should go back now, It's pretty late. I'll go alone from here, it's not even that far"
" Ok bye, see you tomorrow"
" bye"
*RING*
" yes chairman"
