#13

A city without people, where everyone has been evacuated. Only the moonlight that flew across the dark gray street was pale. Jae-Chan walked, wary of the desolate ruins from where the murderer might run out of at any time. Following the grumbling Kim Geun-Won, he silenced the sound of his footsteps.

Returning to the vacant lot, Go Woo-Jin and the youngest of the 5th Team were still sitting side by side. The youngest's cheeks, which were touching the handi-cam, looked flushed.

Kim Geun-Won smiled happily at the sight, and then took out the tablet PC from the cross bag placed on the pile of bricks. He connected it to the handi-cam he was carrying around and started editing the video using the waiting time for the guide.

As he thought at a glance earlier, it was a very frugal salary, not a very Lupin-friendly environment (*Lupin: famous thief). Jae-Chan looked at Kim Geun-Won in amazement and sat down under the wall that remained steady even after the typhoon. They all, Kim Geun-Won and Go Woo-Jin, who sat head-to-head with the youngest of the 5th Team, looked like a small triangle had been formed from above.

He took out his cell phone. There were three missed calls and five text messages from Team Leader Lim Jung-Wook, and there was no guide call, so he put it back in his pocket. It was when I was dipping his ears with only the sound of grass bugs.

— Uh-uh, I don't know... What's wrong with it...?

The youngest member of the 5th Team, who had been red-faced for a while, held onto the handi-cam and groaned. Suddenly, his gaze shifted towards it. Go Woo-Jin, the youngest who was in a daze, could be seen, touching the handi-cam tightly and creasing his brows.

He was wondering what it was, so Jae-Chan, who was looking more closely over there, pulled up his eyebrows. What's wrong with them?

— …….

He looked back at Kim Geun-Won just in case. Now, he had even taken out his headset and was fully immersed in the complete editing work with his mouth hanging open. The worries were short-lived. Jae-Chan left his seat and stood up.

— Perhaps, is it because the camera isn't on?

— Yes…! Yes, that's right!

The youngest shouted loudly. Her eyes twinkled as if she had seen a savior, and she suddenly showed her cell phone that she was clasping tightly. It was a ViewTube app.

— I searched for everything, even how to turn on the camcorder! In the video, it turns on itself when you open the flaps, but this is… I think it's broken. But Esper Go Woo-Jin said it's not. It had no issues until a few hours ago...

Ah. Only then did Jae-Chan realize that her hot cheeks, which were burning red due to anger, were because of the cam that didn't turn on.

Go Woo-Jin held on to the belief that it was not broken and pressed the small silver button with the written word 'power' written on it every 10 seconds. Pressed it once and waited. Pressed it again and waited.

The youngest member of the 5th Team seemed itching to press any button or hit a few handi-cams (?) for that matter. The appearance of the two was so contrasting that Jae-Chan, who held back his laughter, advised them.

— There's no battery.

— ...Yes?

— … What?

Go Woo-Jin, who was pretending not to see him, also raised his head. In his indifferently shaded eyes, he could see a look of embarrassment, so Jae-Chan bit back another laugh and explained.

— The battery in the back is drained.

He brought the crossbody bag that was lying around. Indeed, a large battery was rolling inside, right at the bottom. He received the cam and put it on the back that had been empty for a while. The -click-, the joint sounds were a little dull.
