From a deserted island with murderous intent

Chapter 2. Sports Plaza (7)

On the subway ride back, we shared our thoughts.

지훈

"I can't say for sure, but CEO Choi Seung-cheol smells pretty bad."

That was my opinion.

지훈

"I have a feeling you know something but are hiding it."

준휘

"That guy, it seems like he really didn't know that Seolgi was dead."

지훈

"That's weird."

지훈

"Even if you weren't close to a member, how could you not know that he died?"

Instead of answering, Jun-Hwi let out a short sigh and shook his head two or three times.

His expression showed that it was not yet time to express his opinion.

Of course, I was the same way.

As I was returning home after parting ways with Jun-hwi, the phone rang.

I quickly picked up the phone and heard a voice I had heard somewhere before.

지수

-"This is Hong Ji-soo."

The other person said.

Only then did I realize and answered, "Yes."

Looking at my watch, I saw that I still had some time until the appointment time.

지수

-"Actually, there's no need to borrow Seolgi's materials anymore."

His tone was like that of a man who was very angry about something.

지훈

-"then?"

지수

-"I was researching something else today and stumbled upon the information I was looking for."

지수

-"I'm sorry for making a fuss."

지훈

-"So, you're not coming to our house?"

지수

-"yes."

지훈

-"Can I open the box?"

지수

-"Of course. I'm really sorry."

After saying okay and hanging up the phone, I looked at the box I had left in the corner of the room.

The box sat there quietly, like a pair of amicable twins.

I changed my clothes and took a can of beer out of the fridge and drank it.

And I sat on the sofa and looked at the box.

The box had the company name printed on it in bright colors, indicating that it had been packed by a moving company.

I was halfway through my beer when I suddenly felt something strange.

There were two boxes that looked like twins, but there were some differences.

There was a difference in the packaging.

One side looked a little messy compared to the other.

It couldn't be said to have been done with care, as there was vinyl tape thrown or stuck here and there.

I thought it was strange.

When the box was delivered this morning, I remember being impressed by the careful packaging, which seemed to perfectly reflect Sunyoung's personality.

The tape was also sticky, as if it had been stuck with a knife.

Both, yes, definitely both boxes.

Without a doubt.

After finishing my beer, I carefully examined the box, which was still covered in tape.

Even if you call it an investigation, it's just staring intently at the box.

Since I couldn't figure out anything just by looking at the box, I decided to remove the tape and open it.

Inside the box were books, notebooks, and scraps mixed here and there.

I left them as they were and opened the other side.

As expected, this was well organized.

The way the tape was applied revealed Soonyoung's personality.

Leaving the box where it was, he took out a bottle of soju and a glass from the display case and sat back down on the sofa as if throwing himself into it.

Then he poured some alcohol into a glass and took a gulp.

The sound of my accelerated heartbeat calmed down for that moment.

After regaining some composure, I picked up the phone and pressed the button.

The bell rang three times and then the other person came out.

준휘

"This is Moon Jun-hwi."

지훈

"it's me."

준휘

"Ah... why?"

지훈

"I got hit"

준휘

"You got hit?"

지훈

"I think someone came into my room."

Jun-hwi also seemed nervous for a while and then asked, "Has anything been stolen?"

지훈

"It was stolen."

준휘

"what?"

지훈

"I don't know."

He shook his head, holding the receiver to his ear.

지훈

"But obviously, it's something very important."

Sorry I'm lateㅠ
