Chapter 52 - 5 one: Looking for the poor friend

Dae Ju took a mic and give another to Jheong Woo.

"Let's do a competition. He who will score more has to apologize to others. Agree?" said Dae Ju.

"What? You know very well that I can't sing!" Jheong Woo refused.

"Anyone can sing! You just have to put effort into it. Let's go!" saying this he selected a song and start singing. Though his voice was not like before he could sing well. He was singing with his heart and soul and he was too into it that he forgot he is not the *High note king* anymore. He wanted to do a long high note but he failed. Jheong Woo was watching him from his back and he salutes him in his mind.

He scored 95 and now it turns to Jheong Woo.

"Aish! I admit I was wrong! But, I can't sing." Jheong Woo stepped back.

"No! Just try once! It would be fun! I know you can't defeat me but what will be so wrong if you give it a try?" saying this Dae Ju pushed him in front of the machine.

"Ah! Okay, I will try!" Jheong Woo chose another song and it was not a cold song like before. It was a song by Min Jae. And Dae Ju knows it very well. He remembered every line of it so he joined Jheong Woo. Both of them find fun in it and so they were enjoying it in their own way. As it was a hot song, Dae Ju starts to dance and he was surprised but he remembered every step of it. Both of them continued singing and dancing and now Jheong Woo felt that singing is not that easy. But if you have an interest in it, then it could be easy for you. He was tired and sit on a chair but Dae Ju continued to remembering his dance steps. He thought he forgot all and he has to learn from the beginning but now he is happy that he remembers most of the song's lyrics and choreography.

But he forgot that he is not in his body and he can't torture this body like it. Suddenly, he felt like he was seeing dark and the whole room was rotating with him. His heartbeat was too much faster and it started hurting. He slowed down and as soon as he tried to sit down he falls to the ground. Jheong Woo was taking a rest by closing his eyes but hearing a different sound, he opened his eyes and get astonished.

"Dae Ju-sshi! What happened? Are you okay? Answer me!" he rushed to him and kneel down. He pulled Dae Ju and flipped him. He was not in the sense so he couldn't respond.

"What should I do? Hey! Wake up!" he called him continuously. He sprinkled some water on him but it was not working. Getting no response he stood up and give him a piggyback. It was hard but he tried his best and took him outside. He called a taxi and went inside with his friend. He checked again and again if he was alive or not. He was breathing and his heart rate was reducing slowly. After some time, he gains back his consciousness and discovered himself inside a taxi by leaning on someone. He tried to look at the person's face. He saw Lina's face and said,

"Lina-ah! Why you did that to me? Why you stay beside me every time? Why do you care for me that much? Do you know, you make me fall for you? Your eyes, your smile, your everything is so beautiful. I am confused what should I do now? Should I go back or should I stay with you like your husband for the rest of my life? This man will never disappoint you. Never make you cry. Promise." His voice was unclear and it was hard to understand. But Jheong Woo heard him and understand what he was saying.

"Did you just proposed me?" asked Jheong Woo. Dae Ju heard the manly voice and get up for taking a look.

When he saw it was Jheong Woo, he was shocked and said, "What are you doing here?"

"Hey! You fainted a while ago! And so, I have to carry you! We are heading hospital now." simply Jheong Woo replied.

"No, I am fine now. Let's go home." requested Dae Ju softly.

"Why? You are not fine! I was so worried about you!" said Jheong Woo.

"Why were you that much worried?" asked Dae Ju without guessing the answer.

"You were not getting up! I thought you....." seems like he was too much worried about his friend.

"That I left? Ah! I wish that happen!" saying this hopelessly he started again, "But, let's head home now. If she knows that I am in hospital against, she will not spare me this time." Begged Dae Ju one more time.

"Who? Lina? You are scared of her now! Okay, then I will leave you at home." saying this with dissatisfaction, he told the driver to take the other way which is headed to Lina's home. When they reached home, Dae Ju came out of the taxi. But seems like he has no energy in his body. He just wants to lie down and take a rest.

"I am leaving!" said Jheong Woo from inside.

"Okay, go home safely." wished Dae Ju and stepped inside.

"What time is it now?" said Lina from far. Seems like she was angry with him. Dae Ju locked the door and take a look at the whole room. Lina was sitting at the table. Seems like she was waiting for him after preparing the dinner. The food was being served on the table and it could be seen that those were not hot.

"Ah! I am sorry! I went to Karaoke with Jheong Woo and lost myself in singing."

"What did you just say? You went to Karaoke?"

"Hmm"

"Why you did that? Don't you know you are sick? You can't do these things in this situation! Ah! You should have informed me before you went there!" worried but gently said Lina.

"Sorry!" said Dae Ju with a doleful voice.

"Go and wash yourself. Then, come to eat." looks like she was not happy at all. Dae Ju could understand it and go upstairs. He came in front of his bed and couldn't stop himself by falling on the bed instead of going to the washroom and clean himself. He was too tired that he fell asleep as soon as he lied down. When Lina noticed that it's been an hour but there's no sign of her husband, she went upstairs and found him on his bed. He was sleeping peacefully with no tension. Seeing him, Lina felt pity for him and went close to him. She took a blanket and covered him with it and turn off the light. Then she went from there. The next morning when he was getting ready for going to work, he got a phone call and he had to leave immediately.

"Sorry for disturbing you, Mr...?" the detective forgot his name and ask for it.

"Rumi," answered Dae Ju.

"Ah! Mr. Rumi. We are thinking that you were telling truth. This man is being hidden somewhere. He is missing since the hospital issue." a photo of that strange man has been showing towards him.

"Yes, You are right. I didn't see him either," replied Dae Ju.

"His name is Han Cheol. He is a driver but his original work is smuggling drugs. We suspect that he was there in the hospital incident. There is CCTV footage that we could restore and his face was seen in that." said the detective.

"I knew it(being excited)! But, are you sure he is the one who wants to kill me, no Kim Dae Ju?"

"We are not sure. We have to investigate to catch him. But, do you know where he could be?" the detective looked at him with questionable eyes.

"No, If I had an idea, I could have caught him until now," replied Dae Ju.

"Don't you know about him? Like where could he live, where could he hides. Where could he go etc." asked Mr. Park.

"How could I know?" Dae Ju said.

"You used to work with him so I don't think it's tough to know for you," said Mr. Park and looked at him with sharp eyes. "The thing is....Ah! I wasn't that close with him," he was smiling but it was understandable that his smile was fake.

"You don't know his address too?" the cop's suspicious eyes were looking for his prey.

"I am sorry, but I don't know anything about him." Dae Ju was sorry because he couldn't help to catch the jerk.

"But, you should know the hidden place of Johnnie, right?" smilingly asked Detective Park.

"Yes, I should but I can't remember it now." Dae Ju looked down and felt guilty.

"Ah! This could happen. I know you forgot something someday somewhere when you don't want to remember." the cop coldly shot at Dae Ju with his words.

"No! It's not like that! I want to help you! But, I got some issues and so I couldn't remember some things. But, I will inform you whenever I remember about him." Dae Ju strongly wanted to prove his innocence.

"Then, you can leave," said Detective Park. Dae Ju takes a look at the table and saw it hasn't changed at all. It was the same as before when he had been dragged in the station. He suddenly remembered about his friend and wants to know about him.

"By the way, do you know him?" Dae Ju took his phone and showed a picture of his friend who was on their criminal list. Ah! This guy! He is not that big a criminal.

"He was just caught red-handed twice while driving and drinking alcohol at the same time. But, one time he nearly killed a deer and he had to pay for that. I heard that he was an idol but for some reason, their group disbanded and he couldn't do anything in his life." said Mr. Park with a pitiful voice.

"What? He couldn't do anything? What do you mean by that?" Dae Ju was afraid that he would have heard a cruel answer from the cop.

"I don't know much but I know that he was done with his life because he couldn't get any full-time job and his parents gave up on him. And many more things that I don't know," said Mr. Park simply. Then he gives a suspicious look and came to Dae Ju.

"But, I heard that he used to trained under "Triple M" academy. I don't know if this is true or not. But, why you are so interested? Are you a fan of him?" whispered the detective.

"Hmm." Dae Ju felt down by hearing him. It was clearly seen on his that he was very disappointed and worried.

"Do you know where is he right now? I mean, can I reach him?" asked Dae Ju with a worried voice.

"I don't know about him. He had been charged for drunk driving about a year ago and after that, we didn't search for him," replied Detective Park.

"His address or phone number?" Dae Ju can't wait to see him for once.

"I am not sure if he lives in the same place or not but we have his address, let me check." saying this he clicks on the mouse which was kept on the table in front of the computer.

"Ah! I found it. But, why I will give it to you?" asked Mr. Park with suspicious eyes.

"Do me a favor, please? I will do anything you want to!" Dae Ju tried to make his cute face with pouting lips and it worked on the detective. He gives him the address and told him to leave. Dae Ju came out from the police station with satisfaction but he didn't know the reason for giving the address to him. When he left from the station, Mr. Park called his assistant and ordered him to follow Dae Ju's every step because he finds him suspicious today. He thinks that he has a connection with that man still now that's why he was trying to hide something from him.
