Dr.Ban sighed in a relief as he remarked quite audibly pleased.
Dr.Ban : Found her...Finally.
Dan Hwa observed the steadily approaching gammer. Her stature shrunk a little, probably with the weight of age. And wrinkles of experience trailed her vaguely loose skin. But she carried a youthful energy in her feisty walk, that filled one with an instant fizz and vitality.
Dan Hwa : You were looking for her?
Dr.Ban : Yes. For a long time.
Dan Hwa did not further inquire him. Nor did she desire to interrupt the conversation between them, which began the moment the lady reached their proximity.
"Warm welcome! What would you take?" reacted the old woman on her first instinct, seeing two people waiting by her restaurant. Dr.Ban gesturing to halt her hurried actions, spoke in a polite tone.
Dr.Ban : Hello, Ma'am. Actually, we are not here as customers.
The concerned lady squinted her eyes up at the fairly built lad before her and noted his peculiar accent.
"You sound like a Seoul man." She commented. And he reflected a sheepish smile to her.
Dr.Ban : Ye, I am a Doctor, practicing in Seoul right now. This is my card.
He paused for a second to hand his card, before continuing.
Dr.Ban : I actually had a small business with Mrs.Kang Hye Moon. Are you she?
The elderly identified herself as the holder of the name, as she tried to focus the contents of the business card without the aid of her glasses. The ones, she probably left in her counter before going out earlier.
Mrs.Kang : What business would someone from there have with me?
Her temples creased in a light fluster only for her eyes to be distracted towards the young lady beside the doctor. As if caught a portal sight into her own youth in Dan Hwa, she warmly smiled to her.
Without any verbs, they shared a moment of connection as Dan Hwa couldn't help herself smiling back.
The only male there, bought their focuses again with his voice.
Dr.Ban : By any chance, do you happen to know Mr.Yoo Moong Tae?
Just at the name, Mrs.Kang's expressions softened and her eyes transpired gloomy. She was perplexed and somewhat overwhelmed by the strange visitors from Seoul.
Mrs.Kang : Yes, that- that's my son.
Dr.Ban : Mrs.Kang, as a part of a felony investigation operating in Seoul, I need your co-operation in the case.
A frantic response came about from the woman.
Mrs.Kang : What- what did he do? He can't harm anyone. He can't offend the law.
Dr.Ban : Yes, he didn't do anything. I simply request you to answer a few things.
The lady hesitantly nodded her approval to the request and guided her guests inside the restaurant, that she ran alone.
Minutes apart, the three could be seen seated across a table with two glasses of water presented before the two visitors. Dr.Ban took a sip, reminded of his hydration routine. Meanwhile, Dan Hwa eyed over the architecture of the house, habitually. It was very well maintained for a solo operator.
