Restaurant: Kidnapping Case

01 | Suspicious Restaurant

"Here's a breaking news story. A woman living in 00-dong, XX-gu, Seoul has gone missing. According to the police investigation, she may have been kidnapped."

전정국

Kidnapping incidents are happening frequently these days, so you should be careful too.

Jungkook turned off the television and spoke to me with a worried tone. But I remained calm, ignoring his expression. How could I love a husband who had ruined his business and lost his money?

000

I will take care of my own body.

000

Please, don't mind it.

I spoke to Jeongguk, my voice filled with irritation. As expected, Jeongguk shrank infinitely before me. He looked like a dead rabbit.

전정국

...I'll go and come back

전정국

Let's eat out tonight

Perhaps he didn't like this situation, so he changed his words and left the house.

07:00 PM

It was around 7 p.m. I entered a restaurant that seemed expensive at first glance, but surprisingly, the prices weren't that high.

Also, there were no guests in sight here at all.

김태형

Welcome.

The restaurant staff greeted us with a not-so-friendly expression.

And as he approached us and prepared to take our order, someone suddenly appeared and said something to the employee. The employee then bowed to him and disappeared.

민윤기

I'll take the order for you.

000

Oh... Are you also an employee here?

민윤기

No, I'm the boss.

He, who called himself the boss, smiled at me. But for some reason, his smile felt particularly creepy.

민윤기

Are you married? Your wife is really pretty.

전정국

Yes, our 00 is quite pretty.

000

Ah, Jeon Jungkook...!!

I felt bad for telling my name to a stranger, so I yelled at Jeongguk a little.

민윤기

Oh, your wife's name is 00.

Then, what the restaurant owner said was truly terrifying.

He looked at Jeongguk with wavering eyes, but Jeongguk paid no attention and continued his conversation with the restaurant owner.

민윤기

Your wife's expression looks dark. Am I making you uncomfortable?

Uh... I wanted to tell him that it was very uncomfortable, but I felt that I couldn't stay here any longer, so I packed my bags and dragged Jeongguk out.

But maybe because I was so out of it, I didn't hear the restaurant owner's last words at all.

민윤기

I said 00, investigate all the kids who just left.
