Mystery
ep. 11 - by. Ggwaenggwaengi
The place right before my eyes was the principal's office. In short, the only person who could have brought me here was the principal.
김여주
(... Was the principal really the culprit...)
Panic... it was a situation where I had no choice but to be flustered. If the principal really was the culprit, I would truly disappear right now and become a missing person whose whereabouts would remain unknown. I was scared. I was terrified, and I wanted to get out of here as quickly as possible.
교장선생님
I know everything. Answer me straight.
김여주
... yes?
교장선생님
You are probably well aware of the consecutive disappearances at this school.
김여주
... yes.
The principal mentioned the missing person case again. I was suddenly terrified. A different sense of fear washed over me.
교장선생님
I've been thinking hard about who the culprit might be...
교장선생님
Kim Yeo-ju, so you just had a sudden thought that it might be you?
김여주
yes?
I was flustered. I was the one who was afraid of going missing because of this person, yet the trend was shifting toward framing me as the culprit, so it was only natural to be dumbfounded. When I automatically raised my voice, the way he clicked his tongue and looked at me with disdain made me sick to my stomach.
김여주
... I don't know why you think I'm the culprit,
교장선생님
Whether the police came or left... I kept giving you instructions the whole time. Don't come outside, stay still. But suddenly, I wondered if it was really necessary to move.
김여주
It wasn't me. I was just trying to find the culprit. Why are you cornering me like that?
I felt wronged. I really wasn't the culprit. I just—I just wanted to find the real killer. All I wanted was to stop this missing persons case from continuing any longer, but the principal was the one who had mistaken me for the killer. I felt like tears were about to well up inside me.
Clunk-
김여주
Ah, that startled me...
?!?
Is work going well? I haven't heard anything at all.
김여주
(...? Who is that person? Their name tag color is the same as mine... and they're the same age as me.)
교장선생님
Uh, daughter. Just so-so?
김여주
(... I honestly have no idea what on earth is going on.)
Roughly interpreting what the principal said, the word I caught on was ‘daughter.’ It seemed that the woman who appeared to be the same age as me was the principal’s daughter. Although I had never seen her before, from her short skirt that came up quite high to her pale skin harmonizing with lips bright red as if she had eaten a rat.
At first glance, they looked like the school bullies. Their eyes, sharpened by heavy eyeliner, gleamed as they fixed on me with a piercing gaze. I didn't know what they were talking about, but I had a strange thought that perhaps these two had orchestrated everything.
...
It was scary.
Very much.
전정국
Ugh, Jeon Jungkook, that idiot... I should have just stopped that bastard... Hmph...
Jungkook, who had to just listen to the silent screams of the kidnapped girl, was hurrying toward the dark school without even a moment to wipe away the tears streaming down his cheeks from the overwhelming guilt.
전정국
... f***.
A dimly lit hallway. As I stopped in front of the brightly lit door of the principal's office, I heard the trembling voice of the female protagonist, terrified. It was clear she was pouring out her grievances while being extremely frightened. It wasn't just the principal; I could hear the voice of an unknown woman as well.
The principal and the woman continued an incomprehensible conversation centered around the female protagonist. From what was overheard, they were undoubtedly father and daughter.
전정국
Okay, Jeon Jungkook. Wipe your tears, and you go in on the count of three.
전정국
one,
전정국
two,
전정국
... three.
?!?
You idiot. To think you disrupted a profound conversation about trying to figure out who the culprit is in this disappearance case with such noise.
전정국
Ugh... H-what? So you kidnapped the kid coming out of the classroom to pick up homework and took him to the principal's office?
김여주
What, Jeon Jungkook... Why are you only coming now? I was so scared I thought I was going to die...
전정국
Sorry.
I'm sorry I couldn't solve this missing persons case.

Hello, this is author Kkyongkkong. First of all, I apologize for this chapter being dragged out so much due to the busy schedule at the academy.

I could have presented a better piece, but it is a bit of a shame that only four people appeared in this episode.

I am not the official serious person among the collaborating authors.

I really try to be cheerful, but it's hard to change my natural way of speaking haha. I think that's even more of an issue since this is a writing corner.
