Why am I always late?

chap 17

"where could the manager be?!" Geumwook yelled. "He must be eating at some place quiet, but it still doesn't make sense! Why would your hyung lie anyways?!"

Wuhyeon never understood it either. When he asked Jiun about his grandma, he was confident and said it without even a doubt, so he never really found it suspicious. The only problem was that Jiuns grandma isn't dead, and now, the information Jiun told Wuhyeon was wrong!!

Instead of knowing the grandma before she "passed" away, they just found out that the owner wasn't even a girl! It was a boy!! A rich one at that.

Wuhyeon raked his head for any clues while he was talking to Jiun, but he never remembered anything weird about him.

"Wuhyeon, can you ask your hyung to talk to us?" Geumwook asked, but Wuhyeon was adamant. "We need to get to the bottom of this. Not just because we're curious, but this might lead us to something big!" He persuaded but Wuhyeon was still hesitant.

The two was walking for a while now, they started with the less overly crowded part of the zoo, but he wasn't there. Then they tried all the places with lots of shades, but also none.

"Gosh this feels like finding Nemo, but instead of finding a fish we have to find a manager wearing a blue cap!!" Geumwook kicked the ground, annoyed. Wuhyeon looked outside the food court, and then he saw a guy placing a blue cap down.

"It's him!" He yelled loud enough for everyone to look and see who he was pointing at. The manager, who was holding a plate, immediately ran like crazy, flinging his plate.

The two looked at each other before also running to him. Geumwook didn't understand why the manager was running or why they were chasing him, but he went with the flow.

The manager ran, hitting a group of tourist, one of which was Gyueum who fell. They looked at him and was going to yell when Geumwook also ran them. Wuhyeon apologized and quickly followed.

"Gyueum!! Are you fine?" She asked but Gyueum dismissed it. "I'm fine, but.. why are they chasing each other?" He asked as he looked at where they ran off. "He probably stole something and is being chased off..." She said and Gyueum just nodded.

The manager lept on a fence, but Geumwook immediately followed. Wuhyeon was a bit short, and his hands doesn't have the strength to pull himself up, so he looked around for an alternative way. He then saw a sign saying "dangerous animals here. Don't get too close" and then he got an idea.

"Hey!! Stop!" Geumwook yelled. The manager took a families souvenirs from their bag and threw it at him, but he avoided it and continued the pursuit. "Hey! I just want to talk!" He continued to say but the manager shook his head. "I'm not giving back the flowers!!" He shouted which made Geumwook wonder. "Are you..!!" He then realized.

His hyung told him someone stole from their shop some flowers, but the guy ran away before he caught up.

Suddenly, the manager turned a corner, making him out of Geumwooks vision, but when he also turned he saw Wuhyeon holding the board, a shy expression on as the managers head felt dizzy and was lying on the ground.

Moments after that happened the police arrived, but before that they asked about the owner of the bird.

"The owner of the red bird, who is it" Geumwook trembled as he asked. "Do you really think I'll tell you after you just called the police on me?!" He shouted back. "And you'll be in a more rough time after they find out you were stealing on our flower shop!! So tell me or you'll be in more trouble" he threatened.

"The owner.. he never spoke a word except for what that parrot kept on shouting. When I asked for him to sign his rights as the owner he never wrote his name"

"Then what did he wrote?" He asked.
The manager hesitated, kept on looking at Geumwook then on his hands. "He..he wrote..." The managers breath slowly grew unsteady, scratching his fingers like his life depended on it. Geumwook looked at his fingers, but then his eyes widen. He immediately called Wuhyeon.

"Wuhyeon hyung!! Tell them to also bring an ambulance!! Someone's having an allergic reaction!!"
He then took out an EpiPen from his pants since he always carry it. He registered it on him and his breath slowly turned normal. His hands was still having that bad rash, but atleast he could breath.

Later, the police and ambulance arrived, "whose the owner and what name did he wrote?!" He said sternly. "His name was.. ki...bin " He then fell asleep. The people in charge said that it was because of the medicine, leaving Geumwook on the scene.

He then heard that the manager had open wounds on his back, large gaping ones. Geumwook wondered about it but Wuhyeon dismissed him.

"Let's just be happy no one else got hurt" he said and he nodded.

"Geumi shi!!" Someone yelled unto the distance. Geumwook turned and his face lit up instantly. "Hyung!!" He yelled before he was pulled into a huge by him. "I was worried sick you know!!" He shouted and he gave a shy smile. "I'm sorry hyung.."

"I'm also sorry. I didn't get to explain it to you fully since I thought I can handle it.. oh wait, I'm being called for a statement. I'll see you later in the shop, alright?" He said before leaving.

"What was that about?" Wuheyon asked behind, and Geumwook explained.

Before the incident when Geumwook and wuhyeon recently just left, someone entered the flower shop. He thought that it was just a regular costumer like usual when he suddenly took some flowers and ran immediately.  He tried to chase after him but he was much more faster than him. But when the thief, aka the manager, opened the door, he managed to still get close to him and uncovered he was wearing a blue cap. 

He tried to pull him back but the thief just stumbled a bit before leaving. But before turning a corner his clothes got caught into a sharp metal rod that left a big scar and blood on the rod, hence why he had a huge gaping scar on his back when Wuhyeon hit him on his face.

After the whole ordeal, the zoo was temporarily closed for the day, since the scene was quite big. Mainly for the 'mysterious scar' on his back that was immediately shut down.
