C24 The folded secret

"Who is this guy?" Dae-Seong's manager asked when he was about to start the engine.

Ara seating center of Ga-Eul and Do-Yun.

Dae-Seong's head turned toward them as the manager distrusted. He saw them shivering in the cold as the daylight wind blew on them through the window. He reacted mildly, "Her friend."

Then he started the engine. The car moved forward as the dogs chase after them.

The car arrived at Ara's bookshop entrance.

Ga-Eul opened the car door. He got off.

Ara got down. She handed the jacket to Ga-eul without even turning her face up toward him. And she politely said, "Thank you."

Ga-Eul's absent expression received the jacket. His worried eyes are expecting she will look at him back.

Do-Yun kept looking at him. His unconscious mind smirked a little and said, "See who is getting a reward here?"

Then, Ara's body slightly veers around toward Dae-Seong, who had just gotten off the car and was facing her. She politely bowed. "Thank you, Dae-Seong."

Dae-Seong also bowed politely and got in the car.

Do-Yun was bringing in a cooler face, looking straight, and expecting she would say thank you to him too.

But she curled towards her house as her sneezing shook off her whole body.

Ga-Eul responded quickly, "You're catching a cold."

Do-Yun's cooler broke in a second and was replaced by Dolt as he realized that she had already moved inside.

"I'm okay," her mild voice said and kept moving forward.

When Ga-Eul's feet lifted slightly to take a step forward and follow back her with his unconscious mind, Do-Yun grabbed Ga-Eul's collar and pulled him into the car, saying, "Where are you going?" He said with a jaded voice, "Get in first!"

Ga-Eul's stumbled body gets seated and closes the door, then the car moves.

Ara's opposite bookshop hadn't opened yet.

"Where are you living?" Dae-Seong asked, looking at him through the front mirror. "We'll drop you there."

Ga-eul's straight-looking eyes meet Dae-Seong's eyes. A few minutes later, that car stopped on the empty road.

He gets off, bowing politely as the car goes on.

His phone rang when he didn't even straighten up his body from bowing. So, he takes it from his waterproof jacket, which was handed to him by Ara. "Hello," he said.

"How is she? Did you find her? Is she alright now?" It was his grandmother's edgy voice.

He responded to them gently while walking along that empty, bright road. "Yeah, she is in her house now."

His grandfather heard him on the loudspeaker phone too. They let out a satisfied breath and cut the phone.

At the entrance of DGI Entertainment company, the white car arrived there.

Do-Yun only got off the car and went into that big building. Then the car took a U-turn and went ahead.

A few minutes later, Do-Yun opened FFB's dormant door, and his shivering feet moved straight toward his room without even noticing his hyungs were coming to him with confused expressions.

Their bewildered faces looked at each other.

Dae-Seong's manager and Dae-Seong enter the police station, Dae-Seong's face was covered in a mask and hat.

They walked straight to the police officer who had just arrested Si-U at her home.

He greeted them and bowed, and they also bowed back at him.

Dae-Seong moves to the prisoner Si-U, who is staring at him without even blinking a little while the manager flips the pages of the FIR.

"Please, don't involve our boy's name in this," the manager requested.

He replied politely, "Don't worry, I have already changed the topic and gotten a statement from one of the kidnappers."

The manager blinked out of shock and listens to his continuous talk."They are four schoolgirls who kidnapped the victim," he added. "I have warned them and got a different statement."

"Thank you for your cooperation, friend!" The manager said he was reading the pages of the FIR.

"Don't ever try to involve him with you," his roguish muttered as his angry face got closer to the prison door rod.

She smirked at him, walked away, and asked threateningly, "Didn't Do-Yun find his parent's killer yet?"

Do-Yun's shocked and scared eyes meet her scornful look.

He put his hand on his hip and sighed to distract his eyes from her threatening smile.

And his haunted steps get closer to her again. "I let you slide 'cause you were my friend once in school," he said with a deadly voice and a ground-facing face.

He stood straight up and warned, "Keep it in your mind!" He dreadfully whispered closer to her serious face.

"You do. I won't," she said in the same way as him.

He pulled his breath in with force and released it. "Let's see," he said, their harmful eyes meeting each other.

Si-U took off her eyes, sniffed a little while rubbing her nose, and said, looking aside scornfully, "Do you remember your little sister, who isn't your blood relative, but you showed your full love on her, do you?"

He took two steps back lazily with loosed his angry hand. "Are you trying to distract my attention?"

"Actually, she's alive," she said, her eyes waving toward his.

His slightly unbelievable eyes kept staring at her without moving a little.

"Do not, it is not possible," he said neutrally.

"Yeah, it is possible as long as our fate is in God's hands," he said.

But he was vacant and moved away from there without minding her words.

"I have met her." His feet stopped right there as soon as he heard her. Then he veered towards her, his doubtful eyes seeking to ask something.

"What are you trying to do?" he asked. He was four steps away from her.

"You can't even recognise her eyes?" She casually asked and loftily smiled, "Ha?"

"Don't pull it long!" He walks furiously to her and grabs her collar. He frowned at her and said, "Tell me straight!"

"She's that girl you saved from me," she said, gasping as he dropped his hand.

"How can I believe you?" he asked with a disappointed voice.

She boldly said, "That's your business."

He thinks for a while by staring at her and moves fast from there without the manager.

The manager got up in his seat in a rush as soon as he sees him going. So, he said thank you politely to the police officer and left in a hurry.

"Where are you rushing to?" The manager sits next to the driver's seat. Dae-Seong pushed the gear fast.
