Before I knew it, I was hacking feverishly, hyper-focused. Even unzipping the intricately tangled folders and finding documents took forever. Meanwhile, my phone was ringing like crazy. I assumed it was CEO Jeong, so I deliberately avoided answering.
"I'm getting a call, aren't you going to answer?"
“It must be Representative Jeong, but if I receive it, I’ll just get cursed at.”
"I guess this happens often_"
"Still, that's pretty good, really, for those really foul-tempered clients..."
"I've almost had a knife put to my throat several times"
"Oh, that's right~..."
"I told you not to tease me!"
"Okay, why are you getting so upset again..."
My fingers continued typing, even as I struggled to type. A file popped up, and only then did I stop. I had finally found the basic personal information I was looking for on the criminal.
"...I found it."
"Really? What kind of kid is he?"
"Name, Park Young-gyu. Age 56...?"
"You're older than I thought..."
“But detective, why have you been shaking your hand like that since earlier?”
"...yes?"
I hadn't found the ID photo yet, so I just told him the criminal's name and age. His hands were shaking like an aspen tree, and his pupils were shaking mercilessly. I suddenly grabbed the detective's hand, who seemed incredibly anxious.
Just like the flow of consciousness.
"...! What are you doing,"
"What's wrong? You seem very anxious. Should I take a short break?"
"It's okay, just let go of my hand."
"Just stay like this for a little while, there's still plenty of time."
"What do you mean, I have a lot of time...!"
"Detective, I can spend enough time to calm you down."
"..."
"If I can't stand it, I'll just stay like this"
"Because I can't stand seeing you having a hard time, detective."
"Oh dear... I can't believe you... It's been hours since we last met..."
"I told you, it's been a long time since I've been attached to anyone."
"But there's something different about you, detective"
"I guess he's someone I really want to protect."
"Stop talking nonsense..."
"I think I'm completely in love with our detective."
"Otherwise, this situation cannot be explained."
"yes?!"
"I think I like you, detective."
(broadcast live on CCTV)
"What is this...?"
"Oh, don't think of it as a confession."
"I want to get to know you better, detective, anyway"
"No... that's not the problem right now_"
"What are you doing? Come on, sit down. Let's take care of this quickly and go."
Only then did I let go of his hand and focus back on the monitor. Seeing the detective's blushing ears, I found myself thinking, ironically, how cute he was.
“But, you still don’t plan on telling me?”
"What, yo...?"
"Why did you wave your hand like that earlier? I really want to know."
"...ah."
"You don't have to say anything if you're uncomfortable."
"I didn't want my trauma to be discovered because I wanted it to be discovered."
As I looked back at the monitor, wondering if it was still too early to bring up the past, I heard a soft voice speaking.
"I have suffered severe domestic violence since I was young."
“Because of the trauma from that time, I can’t even talk to my remaining relatives.”
"....."
"That's why I wanted to be a police officer."
"I thought I wanted to save people like myself."
“I wanted to help someone because I wasn’t getting any help.”
"It's been a long time since I was isolated from my father who committed domestic violence against me,Just thinking about it made my teeth chatter and I couldn't sleep at night."
"...You went straight to the police academy for college?"
"...even though I was accepted to S University, I gave up on S University because of that desire for revenge."
"So after I took the college entrance exam, I just studied hard for the police academy and played sports..."
"In the end, I was admitted at the top of my class and became a police officer recognized by everyone."
"My goal was to catch my father with my own hands, and I wanted him to receive a just punishment, not a slap on the wrist..."
"So my grudge from years ago hasn't been resolved_"
"But, the culprit of this incident... has the same name, age, and everything as my father."
"...!"
"If what I'm thinking is correct, if the culprit in this case is my father."
"I think I can finally get revenge on my father,I think my hands were shaking a little because I was a bit nervous. Don't worry too much."
"...I'm sorry I can't help you."
"Detective, you seemed so shameless, but there was a reason for everything."
"...Well, I calmed down thanks to the hacker holding my hand_ㅎ"
"Oh, you're teasing me again... I asked for nothing_"
"Let's start again, the mood will get dark."
"...Just a moment."
"Detective... are you crying?"
"ah..."
"Our detective, you cry more than I thought~"
"Come here,"
"Today, I will give you my special gift"
I've been using it for a very long time,,, 😭
Fucking hell, I'm going to throw this away.......... I'll come here often now...........
