Daddy Long Legs
Chapter 3 (8) Back home...


Police station interrogation room


์ ํธ์ ํ์ฌ
I have requested personal protection, but since I was also a witness at the scene, you just need to write the statement.


์์ง
Yes, I understand... Yeoju, Yunah, let's hurry up and write this and go inside.

Detective Jeong gave Yeoju and Yun a sheet of paper each.


์ ํธ์ ํ์ฌ
There are many unanswered questions about this case, so we need to secure witness statements.


์ ํธ์ ํ์ฌ
Please briefly write down here the reason you went there today and what you did.


์ ํธ์ ํ์ฌ
I will ask you later if you need anything else, so please write it down and go inside today.

Seokjin and Detective Jeong are talking in a reception room in a corner of the police station.


์ ํธ์ ํ์ฌ
We have received a request for personal protection from above, but the incident is bigger than expected, so it seems difficult to station personnel on-site.


์ ํธ์ ํ์ฌ
All the gang members were found injured, and since they said they couldn't see who the perpetrator was... it looks like all personnel will be mobilized for the investigation for the time being.


์์ง
okay...


์ ํธ์ ํ์ฌ
I think since Mr. Kim Seok-jin knows my contact information, if he contacts me, I could dispatch personnel as needed.


์์ง
I think that would be fine... Actually, I am the guardian for both children.


์์ง
Then I will provide primary protection, and I will contact you immediately if any issues arise.


์ ํธ์ ํ์ฌ
Yes, yes. I will give you a pager so you can contact me directly. Please tell them to take this pager with them if the teacher is not with them or goes out.


์ ํธ์ ํ์ฌ
I think I'll probably be at the police station all week because of this incident... You can call me anytime, so please don't worry about the time and just press the button right away... Please pass each one on individually.

Detective Jeong handed over two small pagers.

(Detective Jeong is going to be working overtime for a while... T_T)


์์ง
....So, for now, I think it would be good if both of you stayed at my place for a few days.

Yeoju, Yun, and Seokjin sat around in the reception room.


์์ง
It seems like a lot of things have happened to you guys without me knowing...


์์ง
Yeoju, are you okay?


์ ์ฌ์ฃผ
Just... I remembered a lot of things on my way to meet Yoon..


์ ์ฌ์ฃผ
I remember everything now: meeting Seokjin for the first time... writing the novel with Yooni... and collapsing when Jungkook came to my house...


์์ง
That's such a relief... Actually... I was really worried that you wouldn't be able to regain your memory~ Of course, I thought you would recover slowly someday, though...

Seokjin, feeling a bit choked up, patted Yeoju's shoulder.


์์ง
But Yoon... I didn't know using shock therapy like this would be effective...?


์์ง
I told you not to contact Yeoju yet, but you ended up contacting her anyway...


์ค
Uncle... I know I was wrong about that, but anyway, I missed the female lead so much that I couldn't help it...


์ ์ฌ์ฃผ
We've found our place again anyway... I think that's enough... And


์ ์ฌ์ฃผ
I... I'm going to call you Seokjin Oppa again. I used to call you "Ahjussi" before because I wanted to please you even a little bit more... but I don't think I need to do that anymore hehe. It's okay, right...?

The female lead gave Seokjin a bright smile.

dripping...

Yoon came to the study where Seokjin was resting.


์ค
Uncle... I came because I have a favor to ask.


์ค
Please help Guk-i live here too... He can just get a new ID like mine...


์์ง
Yoon, I am currently working with the prosecution as well... and I don't make such forged IDs..


์์ง
And actually, after you came in, the orphanage helped you create a new identity as well. Because you were a minor at the time... Yoon, the ID you have is legal and entirely yours.

Seokjin turned around and looked at Yoon.


์์ง
You must have more to say to me...


์์ง
What happened at the warehouse...? I saw people bleeding from their knees getting into an ambulance.


์ค
... I wanted to help the soup...


์ค
If we just get rid of the members who are with him right now, Guk will be free..


์ค
The female lead stopped him... so she didn't kill him, just prevented him from escaping, but did that actually make the situation even more difficult?

Seokjin let out a deep sigh.


์์ง
Yun... some members of the central branch of the organization you belonged to were recently wanted in France.


์์ง
It seems they put a bounty on you because nothing is known about you.

Yoon looked at Seokjin with a slightly surprised expression.


์์ง
The reason I brought you along back when I was immature and going around looking for people to collect money from was because you, having lost your childhood, were just like me when I was young.


์์ง
Yun, you are not alone anymore. No matter what happens, Yeoju and I can help you, and we can get through it together.


์์ง
Back when you were wanted, when someone was coming looking for you, those were things you did out of necessity to survive... but now we have the power to make our own choices.


์์ง
You have to live your own life now, too..


์์ง
Let's make sure to discuss this together next time. This isn't a burden you have to carry alone. Both Yeoju and I are here to be with you, after all.

Tears flowed down Yoon's face as he quietly nodded.


์์ง
As for Guk... I'll think about it... Let's find a way.

Today's Point - Seokjin is also working with the prosecution. In his childhood, Seokjin briefly worked as a money collector. Seokjin brought Yoon along because it reminded him of his own childhood self.

Suddenly, while using a black sky background for the review, the Mafia game came to mind..

"Alright, it's night. Readers, please open your eyes~~" Something like that, I guess?? lol

I imagined the time when the author and readers whisper to each other while the main characters are asleep~~^^
