"There are several folders and files. So it's hard to find one." Dae Ju said. They were at a cyber cafe. Soo Mi's phone was with Jheong Woo. They were standing near a computer. Soo Mi went to buy a pendrive. Dae Ju sent her because she has much knowledge about them. After some time, she came back with something. She was looking very happy.
"Ta-da! Look what I bought for you! It's the latest model. You can fill up to 1 Terabyte! You can also....." she couldn't finish her words yet. Dae Ju nearly snatched the pendrive from her and put in the computer jack. They already transferred all the data inside the computer so they are gonna shift them in the drive.
"Hey! Look at this one! Maybe it's the file which Johnnie was seeking for." Jheong Woo pointed at a folder when Dae Ju was selecting all the files.
"Which one?" Dae Ju asked and take a look carefully.
"This.....this one!" he said again and pointed at one folder. Dae Ju stopped selecting and noticed one folder that Jheong Woo was trying to point at. The folder was named *Secret behind race*. Dae Ju looked at Jheong Woo and then he opened the folder. There were several files but here all the files were not video files. There were some pdf and image files too. Dae Ju opened a pdf file and saw it was the agreement between the two companies. The agreement has the company name in which Dae Ju currently works. There was a signature of the chairman writing that he agreed to all the above conditions and agreed for paying the enough money instead of the drugs.
"I think this will be enough as proof." Dae Ju said and give a victorious smile.
"Hurry up!" Soo Mi hurried them up.
"Ah! Okay." Dae Ju selected all the folders and he copied everything instead of cut. Then he pasted everything on the pendrive and waited till the file has been copied. But Soo Mi and Jheong Woo have no idea about it. They thought Soo Mi's phone doesn't have those files and folders anymore. Though Dae Ju didn't do that willingly. It was just an accident. He clicked on the copy instead of the cut option. So, all folders and proof remain inside Soo Mi's phone.
"Thank you!" Soo Mi said coldly while talking the phone back.
"No, thank you!" Dae Ju also said coldly as if it was a thanksgiving contest.
"Let's go now! Aish! Why are you guys acting like five years kid!" Jheong Woo pushed both of them and came outside with them.
"You guys can go home. I will go to Mr. Park directly." Dae Ju said to them when they came outside.
"But, it's late! Why don't you go tomorrow morning?" asked Jheong Woo.
"No! I have to go now! I have a lot of things and I don't want to be late!" Dae Ju said.
"Then, let me come with you." Jheong Woo said.
"No! You should go with her!" Dae Ju said.
"Why? Do you think I can't go home alone?" Soo Mi was showing her pride again.
"Yes, you can't!" Dae Ju mocked her again.
"What's your problem with each other? Can't you stop bickering? Ah! Let's go Soo Mi-sshi! Let him handle this on his own!" Jheong Woo holds Soo Mi's hand and went to the car.
"Bye! Take care!" After sitting inside the car Jheong Woo said to Dae Ju.
"Okay, bye! Drive safely!" Dae Ju also said and shook his hand. Soo Mi started driving and the car started moving frontward.
"Hey! Call me after reaching home!" Suddenly he remembered about it and shouted to Dae Ju.
"Okay! Don't worry!" Dae Ju also shouted.
"Why you don't just date him? You always care for him! Why you came to me?" Soo Mi was annoyed by seeing their overprotective friendship.
"Aish! Look in front! You might end up by finishing my life!" Jheong Woo smiled by saying that.
"What did you say?" Soo Mi asked loudly. They haven't go far so Dae Ju could hear them though their voice wasn't that clear. He felt happy for them.
He takes a look at the pendrive and puts it back in his pocket. He was walking to the bus station as he needs to ride on a bus. The station was near so he reached there without taking much time. He got inside a bus and took a seat. That time his phone start ringing and taking that he saw it was Lina.
"Oh! What are you doing?" he asked directly.
"Thinking of you!" Lina said from the other side.
"Ah! Really?" Dae Ju became happy but he felt embarrassed too. He thought she was saying that romantically but it was not as he hopes.
"Yes! What else can I do? Where are you?" her voice seems angry and hearing her voice Dae Ju can understand she was not saying that romantically.
"Um....honey! I am in a bit of a situation. I.....uh! How can I understand you now.....hehe!" he was smiling to cover himself.
"Come home quickly! We are waiting for you. And also, I have something to tell you." Lina was saying those with a cuddling voice. Hearing this sweet and cute voice, Dae Ju nearly feels like he was in heaven.
"Oh! Okay! I will come soon! But, I need to do something first!" saying this he hung up the call. He was happy and excited to hear what she was gonna say to him? Will she say that she likes him? Or, she will say, *Let's go out tomorrow!* Dae Ju's heart was bouncing with joy by thinking those things.
"Aish! For this! Or else I can go home right now!" he touched his pocket in which the pendrive was kept and said with an annoying voice though he was talking in his mind.
"But, What if she says she likes me? Aigoo! I am blessed! She was too cute! I might end up by fall on the ground again!" he said and jumped out of joy though nobody saw him like that. Soon he reached to the next stop where he has to get down from the bus. He was so happy and curious that he forgot everything about the day and that folder which he was worried about a while ago.
"Mr, Park! Mr, Park!....Mr. Park! Mr. Park!" Dae Ju was singing a song with his name while going inside the police station. But where is he? Dae Ju couldn't find him anywhere.
"Where did he go?" he asked another officer by pointing at his chair.
"He went out of the town for investigation on something. Why? Do you need him that badly?" the detective was in a serious mood.
"Ah! No! It's alright! When will he come back?" Dae Ju asked.
"I don't know. If he has done his work, he will come back tomorrow otherwise it can take few days." He said.
"Ah! can I meet with Johnnie?" he seeks permission as the visitor needs permission to meet the criminals.
"He isn't here. He has been shifted to the central jail. You can meet him there tomorrow." the detective said again.
"Okay. If Mr. Park called you, tell that I came here to meet him. And also say to meet with me as soon as possible." Dae Ju said. He was very excited so he didn't talk anymore.
"Sure!" smiled the detective. Dae Ju turned back and start walking to the outside.
When he reached home, it was already 11 pm. It was dark outside as the moon was not seen in the sky. Feels like the clouds covered him up and they won't let it shine tonight. He knocked on the door as he knows Lina and Choi San were inside. After some time, Lina opened the door and welcomed him. Dae Ju was very happy and excited that he gave a big smile. But the other party's facial reaction was not that happy. She seems sad and disappointed. Dae Ju looked at her and seeing her sad face, he lost his happiness. He entered inside and closed the door well.
"What happened? Is there something wrong?" he asked Lina being curious.
"Come to the living room. I will tell you." she sounds very disappointed and went inside. Dae Ju followed her and went to the living room. His excitement mixed with the air and went away. He was feeling nervous now. Choi San was sitting on the couch. His face was dark too. But Dae Ju couldn't get anything. He was confused but he couldn't stay silent by seeing those dark faces.
"What happened to both of you? Why you are behaving as someone died?" Dae Ju asked.
"He will leave us," Lina said and pointed at San.
"Why? Why? What happened?" Dae Ju wasn't prepared for that. So he was shocked and he kept asking.
"I can't stay with you anymore. I have to go." San replied.
"Why? Is there anything that is disturbing you? You can tell me. I will help you." Dae Ju sat down beside him and asked. He looked at Lina but he couldn't find an answer on her face.
"I.....uh...I....just can't," San replied again hesitatingly.
"Whyyyyy? You have to tell me the reason! Otherwise, I won't let you go! Is there anyone who is disturbing you? Or threatening you? Or....." Dae Ju was loud first but slowly his voice went down and make suspicious sounds.
"Chill! San-ah! Tell him now!" Lina said and looked at Choi San.
"Hyung! I have been selected! That's why I need to go! I can't stay with you!" This time both of them laughed loudly. Dae Ju couldn't understand how he should react. He was really afraid because of their facial expression.
"That's good news! Then, why do you guys make your face like this!" Dae Ju imitated them and said in his style. He stood up while shouting at them. Both of them laughed loudly together. But seeing them Dae Ju felt more annoyed.
"Did you just tease me? Ah! How could you! Aish! You guys are...Ah! Silly brats!" Dae Ju shouted loudly again while pouting.
"Sorry, hyung! We were just curious to know how you react." San laughed and stood up. Then he hugged him.
"But still, you shouldn't do that!" Dae Ju was talking with a low voice.
"It was her idea." San left him and pointed at Lina. Lina was standing beside them and enjoying the show silently.
"What?" Dae Ju became surprised and looked at Lina. Lina looked down and her face turned red as if she accepted her guilt.
"That's why I am wondering why you were acting like that on phone! You never acted like that! I thought you....." saying this he makes a disappointed face and sighed.
"What did you thought, hyung?" San asked curiously.
"Nothing!" Dae Ju said.
"When will you leave?" Dae Ju asked while looking at San.
"Tomorrow morning! But, I will be available at any time if you need me. I can help you any time even if it takes my life." San said and hugged him once again. San was taller than him but when he hugged Dae Ju, he feels like a seven years kid hugged him and he can adore him by touching his head.
"Why you always dragged your life for everything? Don't ever do that. Got it?" seems like Dae Ju was yelling at him but he was adoring him. He put his hand on his back and feel the warmth of a younger brother. San hugged him more tightly. But he has no words to say.
"Make sure you will eat properly, sleep properly. And make a lot of friends there so that you can forget us. And also you should obey the rules properly. Keep practicing and don't you dare to give up. Whenever you will feel down and you will want to give up on everything, remember about me. Call me and I will console you. You will have a hard time but it's okay because there will be a lot of happiness behind the pain. So, keep trying. I trust you." Dae Ju was saying as if he was spelling magic words on him. Soon he realized, his chest was getting wet by warm water. San was actually dropping tears while he was hiding his face on his chest. Lina kept looking at them and sighed though she was happy.
