From a deserted island with murderous intent
Chapter 2. Sports Plaza (11)
The next day, I left home on time for the appointment.
We agreed to meet at a cafe in Gangnam at 2 o'clock.
Jun-hwi said that Ji-soo's house was nearby.
The cafe where we decided to meet had a calm atmosphere with wooden tables that appeared to be custom-made placed here and there.
In the middle of the store, there was a tropical rubber tree placed out of nowhere.
The lighting was dim, making it ideal for long, quiet conversations.
I ordered an iced Americano from the male waiter.
An antique clock hanging on the wall showed a little before two o'clock.
By the time I had taken two or three sips of my iced Americano, it was already 2 o'clock.
Five more minutes passed while I was looking around the interior, but Jisoo didn't show up.
I had no choice but to sip my coffee and look at the entrance.
Soon the glass was empty and the clock was ticking past ten minutes, but he was nowhere to be seen.
I had a bad feeling about this.
I got up from my seat and dialed Jisoo's home number, which Jun-hwi had given me, on the phone at the counter.
The bell rang five or six times.
Just as I was about to hang up the phone, thinking no one would pick up, the call clicked and connected.
...(악역아님)
-"hello."
It was a man's voice.

-"Isn't this Hong Ji-soo's house?"
I asked cautiously.
...(악역아님)
-"Yes, but who are you?"
The other man asked back.
He asked me by name if I was home.
Then the man, who had been silent for a moment, spoke in a dry voice.
...(악역아님)
-"Unfortunately, Mr. Jisoo has passed away."
This time I kept my mouth shut.
...(악역아님)
-"Are you listening?"
지훈
-"yes......"
지훈
-"But what do you mean by he passed away?"
...(악역아님)
-"He was murdered."
The man continued speaking.
...(악역아님)
-"A body was found a little while ago."
