For those who forgot the story, I recommend a quick recap before watching this episode๐๐โโ๏ธ๐
Now that it was revealed that Yena wasn't Singer Seoul, the two searched for other universities with practical music departments. Starting with Kookmin University, they visited Dongduk Women's University, Sahmyook University, Sangmyung University, Sungshin Women's University, and Seoul Christian University. They searched for Singer Seoul for five days, but were unable to find the female student with the scar on the back of her left hand. On the twelfth day, Taehyung and Hanbit headed to Seokyung University, their last hope. Taehyung spoke to Hanbit in a nervous voice.
ย
ย โNow there is nothing left but this.โ
Hanbit, who always looked calm, asked Taehyung as if she was trembling.
โWhat if there is no singer Seoul here?โ
"Then we'll have to find a more reliable method. I'll do whatever it takes to find a singer in Seoul for Hanbit."
Taehyung's heartfelt words touched Hanbit. He'd always done things for others, but no one had ever given anything back to him. Even Taehyung, who seemed simply kind, and Jungkook, who seemed simply childish, were truly trustworthy to Hanbit, who rarely trusted others.
Hanbit and Taehyung, who entered the Department of Applied Music at Seogyeong University, received a list of student names and, like they did at other schools, checked the scars on the backs of the female students' left hands. They didn't just glance at them, but carefully examined each one. However, it seemed as if the goddess of fortune had turned her back on them, and not a single female student had a scar on the back of their left hand.
Taehyung shook his head while looking at Hanbit. Hanbit also shook her head while looking at Taehyung.
At that moment, when Taehyung was in such despair, a female student approached him and asked him.
โAre you two looking for the female student with the large scar on the back of her left hand?โ
โYes, thatโs right. Have you ever seen someone like that?โ
โActually, there was a friend who was absent today. That kid
โI saw a big scar on the back of his left hand.โ
Taehyung and Hanbit were delighted by the girl's words, as if a ray of light had shone from the sky.
ย ย โWhat is that girlโs name?โ
โThis is Kim Pul-ip. He is a kid who is really good at singing.โ
After desperately begging their teacher, Taehyung and Hanbit finally received Pullip's contact information. Since every second was precious to them, they immediately called. However, Pullip didn't answer, and all they got was a long dial tone.
โHeโs not answering his phone. What should I do?โ
โWe will receive it. Letโs not be too hasty.โ
Unlike Taehyung, who seemed anxious, Hanbit was calm. Taehyung didn't give up and continued to make calls. As if his earnestness had reached the heavens, Pullip answered the phone.
โHoney... please... knock knock...!โ
The voice of the grass leaf that answered the phone was not good. It sounded like a mosquito's, as if it was in a lot of pain, and it was coughing.
ย ย ย
โAre you Mr. Kim Pul-ip?โ
ย ย ย
โYes... thatโs right... gulp...!โ
"I'm detective Kim Tae-hyung. I'd really like to meet Mr. Kim Pul-ip."
Just like Juna and Yena, Pullip looked surprised at the word detective.
โYes...? A detective...?โ
โThere are very few detectives in Korea.โ
ย ย ย
โBut... why is the detective... gulping...!โ
Taehyung simply tells us why he wants to meet Grass Leaf.
โI... might be in Seoul, so Iโll check my voice...
โYou want to get tested...?โ
โYes. I would appreciate your cooperation.โ
Suddenly, he said that he wanted to do a voice test because he didn't know that he was the singer Seoul because he had a scar on the back of his left hand. Pullip was really dumbfounded by this situation.
โI want to help too, but... from the beginning... it doesnโt make sense
It's a sound... I'm a singer in Seoul... Knock knock knock..."
Taehyung was nervous that Grass might reject his request. Grass was practically his last hope. If Grass was truly Singer Seoul and refusing to take the negative test, he needed even more permission. After all, it was Singer Seoul that had driven Taehyung and Hanbit to work so hard and sweat. So Taehyung's plea to Grass became even more desperate.
โPlease, I beg you. Mr. Kim Pul-ip is our last hope.โ
โIโm sorryโฆ Coughโฆ! I donโt think I canโฆ help youโฆ Please find someone who canโฆ help youโฆ
I hope you find it.โ
Grass hung up the phone after saying these words.
ย ย โExcuse me, Mr. Kim Pul-ip. Mr. Kim Pul-ip...!โ
The hand that had been holding Taehyung's phone fell limply as the call was already disconnected.
