"The decision was made not to call the police."
The female protagonist said with a relieved face.
"Oh, thank goodness"
"Right, I told you there's no benefit to telling the police."
"Who knows? He might have gone on a trip without telling us."
"That's right, that's right, that's it."
Whether they simply didn't want to believe it or they truly had hope, the villagers tried hard to avoid raising the issue.
But everyone in the village knew,
The milkman didn't go on a trip.
"Let's stop here for today. We'll talk about the rest tomorrow."
"You can come to the village hall at the same location."
Yeoju and Taehyung also hurriedly prepared to go home.
"See you tomorrow, take care on your way home."
Taehyung said with a bright face, waving his hand.
"Okay haha you too, be careful on your way in"
Only then did the female protagonist, who had finally let go of her worries, smile and say.

"What is that?"
The female protagonist, who had almost arrived home, discovered something lying in front of her house in the distance and approached it.
And, in front of the female protagonist's house, the body of the missing young milkman was lying there.
"Uh..what is this..?"
The surprised female protagonist sat there unable to move.
"I was hoping it wasn't like that... I was hoping nothing would happen..."
The female protagonist, sobbing, approached the body to check on it.
And the heroine saw something shiny next to the corpse.
"This is... a ring, right?"
"Y..T.."
"this.."
The heroine, who was reading the initials engraved on the ring, was soon unable to continue speaking.
That was because the ring was the friendship ring that Yeoju and Taehyung had made when they were young.
"Why is this...here...it's not mine..?"
"N..I always carry mine in my hand.."
"This is...Kim Taehyung's..."
The heroine didn't want to believe it.
I just hoped it was a coincidence.
I hoped this ring wasn't a clue to the culprit.
