When The Phone Rings / The Call You Just Made Is

Chapter 48 Reunion

Finally, his hand stopped.

In the internal organs, he found something. He took out a small USB from it.

After returning to the office, the man plugged the USB into the computer interface. There was only one video in the folder.

He put on headphones and played the video. 

"Sister, long time no see." 

"......!"

A lively and innocent male voice came out. A strange face approached the camera.

"Long time no see, Call Boy, long time no see." 

"…….."

"By the way, is my phone still working for you?"

The sky was dazzlingly blue, as bright as summer. The man smiled brightly.

The curly hair slightly covered his eyes, but the clear facial features were easy to recognize. A playful smile and tone, and a sparkling look.

"Sister, keep calling, all the time." 

"You have to be my voice from now on."

"You have to be my messenger."

"Just like you want to hear the news of divorce, I also have something I want to hear."

The man in the picture seemed to be swinging on a swing, his face moving far and near.

When he and Baek Sa-eon looked at each other in the video, Baek Sa-eon's face turned pale. If that person were still alive, he would look like this.

"I also have something I want to hear."

The chirping of insects in the summer night, the flying mosquitoes, the wet riverside, the fishing hut...Old memories came like a torrent.

The sound of slapping the water, the sound of struggling desperately...

And the terrible silence when someone's struggle gradually stopped. All the feelings came like a rainstorm.

That was the end and the beginning of everything. Breathing seemed to be blocked by suffocation.

At this moment, everything seemed to be pieced together.

"You... are still alive."

The truth about Hee Joo and "someone" being entangled.

"Translator, this way!"

The employee who had seen her at the seminar raised his arms and waved. As Hee Joo approached, the employee added apologetically.

"I'm a little late, I'm really sorry. Now my mind is a little confused, huh..."

The employee stroked his chest on his sweater.

"Something really bad happened today."

"......?"

Hee Joo opened her eyes wide, and her deep eyes made the employee let down his guard.

"It's like this..."

She lowered her voice.

"Today our office received a very scary thing."

The employee couldn't help shuddering when he thought of that incident.

"It's a fish head, a cut goldfish head." 

"......!"

Gold...fish?

Hee-joo paused, and the staff changed the subject.
