MAFIA

Episode 16

The village I returned to was very peaceful.

But the tension was palpable, as if something was about to happen, and I was quietly looking down at the village scenery unfolding outside the car window.

When we arrived at the village, everyone got out of the car with a 'click' and I quickly got out and walked ahead.

박우진

Is this Yeoju going to the store too?

이여주

Hey, I'm all better now, right? And...

The moment I was about to counterattack with those words

김재환

You're here

A soulless, hard voice came from somewhere.

The owner of that voice was Jaehwan oppa, and accordingly, everyone, including me and Park Woojin, turned their gaze towards Jaehwan oppa.

김재환

Oh, and from today on, we'll be staying at Jinyoung's house. Even though it might be inconvenient...

The one who cut him off was none other than Min-Hyeon.

황민현

No... why all of a sudden??

My brother is someone who values ​​cleanliness and hygiene, so he was reluctant to sleep at someone else's house.

Anyway, after hearing that, Jaehwan answered with his signature sly smile.

김재환

The building owner, that is, the owner of the accommodation, told me to vacate the room.

...something was strange.

If the owner of this building were a normal person, he would definitely be happy to see us here to solve this case.

But this person is doing the exact opposite.

Who wouldn't welcome our arrival...

And I muttered to myself as if I had found the answer.

이여주

What? Is this guy a cult too?

I spat out those words, looked up, and asked a question.

이여주

Who is the owner of that building?

Then, Jaehwan's cheeks, which already looked like they were going to burst, swelled even more and his mouth went up.

김재환

...Park Ji-hoon

이여주

her-

When I heard that, a sigh of disbelief escaped my lips without me realizing it.

I crossed my arms, but felt the gazes from everywhere, so I quickly uncrossed them.

김재환

Now that we're done with the questions, let's go to our new accommodations.

Why is that person doing that again?

But even so, he wasn't that stiff of a person...

Then someone spoke to me from next to me.

박우진

The house needs to be big...

이여주

That's what I mean....

But our worries disappeared in an instant as soon as we stood in front of Bae Jin-young's house.

이여주

Crazy...

The building appeared to be at least three stories tall, with sparkling stained glass windows... A well-kept garden stretched out in front of the building.

강의건

.....the house....no......is this....the house....right?

김재환

Of course, since it's the village headman's house.

Then, a- sounds were heard from all over the place...

김재환

Shall we go in then?

Then my brother rang the bell and a few seconds later the door opened with a 'creak'.

As soon as the door opened, everyone except me hesitated and went inside.

김재환

Each person's luggage is in their own room!!

Jaehwan, who was watching us from behind, shouted.

And I walked towards my brother.

이여주

Oppa... What's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy?

김재환

What's going on... You should hurry up and go in and wait...

In the end, I was pushed in by Jaehwan and met Joohyun at the entrance.

배주현

Hi, sister!

이여주

Huh? Joohyun!

And next to him, Bae Jin-young popped out.

배진영

Come in, heroine. Are you hungry? Let's eat first.

As I entered the house, I saw our team members sitting in a large dining room and looking around.

So I sat next to Seongwoo Oppa among the three remaining seats, and Joohyun followed me and sat next to me.

After a while, Bae Jin-young also came into the kitchen.

And when Bae Jin-young sat down next to Joo-hyun...

'Sudden'

Joohyun was surprised and came closer to me.

I was also surprised and just stared at him, and Joohyun's body started to tremble.

And I....

I saw Bae Jin-young's gaze as he looked at Joo-hyun.

Then Joohyun went back to her place, but judging by the ribbon attached to her red dress continuing to flutter, she was still shaking.

이여주

There's one more here

My appetite had completely gone, so I took a few spoonfuls and got up.

Then all eyes turned towards me.

박우진

What the heck, you pig? How can you leave food behind?

이여주

Shut up

이여주

Joohyun, can you show me around my room?

'Beoltteok'

배주현

Of course, your sister..

Judging from the fact that he got up as soon as he said that, it seemed like Joohyun didn't like being here either.

The place I followed Joohyun into was Joohyun's room.

배주현

Sister, you can sleep in my room.

It was good.

Because I thought I could get a lot of information about pseudo-religion while spending time with Joohyun.

이여주

...

배주현

Um... if you don't like it, you can just use the blanket outside...

이여주

Huh? Why do you like me?

After talking with Joohyun for a few hours, it was already dark outside.

이여주

I should go to sleep now... It's already 11 o'clock...

배주현

Then, do you want to use the second floor?

Joohyun said, pointing to the bunk bed.

And then I went up to the second floor and threw myself on the bed.

이여주

Wow - so soft

Suddenly

Suddenly the door opened and someone came in.

배진영

What, the female protagonist is sleeping here?

It was Bae Jin-young.

이여주

why?

배진영

No...just

배진영

Sleep well

And Bae Jin-young looked at the first floor once and left.

What is it?

Those eyes

Something must have happened.

Those eyes weren't just the eyes of someone looking at a younger brother who had fought.

Those eyes were full of life.

But Joohyun was changing back into the red dress she was wearing today.

이여주

But Joohyun, why are you putting your clothes back on?

배주현

.....it's nothing

배주현

Sister...

배주현

Have a good morning tomorrow

이여주

what?

배주현

Just... sleep well

And then Joohyun turned off the lights.
