As time went by, Hee-joo became more and more isolated.
She didn’t want to receive calls from her sister and Director Han Jun anymore, as they were both worried about her mental state. Hee-joo locked herself up at home again.
However, as soon as the phone rang, she answered it as quickly as a squirrel.
“Hello?”
——…….
The other party’s breathing was different from usual, as if it was stuck in the middle of the call.
“Why do you only call once a day?”
——…….
“Can’t you call more often?”
——…….
Even if she was considered crazy.
It doesn’t matter if she was considered a mental patient. Hee-joo closed her eyes and said.
“I will find you.”
——…….
“So please wait for me.”
——…….
“No matter where you are, I will find you.”
'Even if you are a ghost, I will find you.'
Hee-joo held the phone tightly with all her strength.
It was her first time in prison, and it seemed desolate and cold.
In the visiting room, Hee-joo anxiously pulled at her carefully dressed clothes, waiting for someone to come.
Soon after, a man appeared accompanied by a prison guard. He was Park Do-jae, Baek Sa-eon's direct assistant.
Hee-joo knew how close Park Do-jae and Baek Sa-eon were.
"Hello."
She greeted him, but Park Do-jae avoided her gaze.
It seemed that prison life was not easy for him. One eye was badly swollen, his lips were cracked, he walked with a limp, and his limbs were obviously injured.
"I came to see Assistant Park because..."
Hee-joo swallowed and asked: "Where is that person?"
"......!"
Park Do-jae was stunned for a moment and looked at her.
"I know this sounds like a lunatic, but it's just my intuition. My intuition tells me that he is still there."
"......."
"Sometimes, there are always some absurd things in life that we need to face, and for me, now is that time. Where is he?"
"I don't know."
He answered expressionlessly.
Park Do-jae obviously didn't intend to reveal any information. He turned his head sharply, motioned to the prison guard, and stood up.
Just then, Hee-joo grabbed his wrist.
"You pushed me."
"......!"
Park Do-jae looked at Hee-joo with a pale face.
"It was you, Park Do-jae, who pushed me in the mountain."
"......!"
"Do you want to talk about that first?"
His eyes trembled slightly.
