Serial Murders and Time Powers
36.
박지민
Seriously... is that story true?
김남준
.....
Namjoon looked down as if his thoughts were complicated, then answered in a low voice.
김남준
no
김남준
I've never stolen a test paper, and my mom has never been there.
김도윤
Don't be ridiculous!!! If not you, then who?!
김남준
There's something you need in times like this
김태형
what?
김남준
Hey, Jung Ho-seok
Namjoon chuckled and then looked at Hoseok and opened his mouth.
김남준
Can you see the time he overheard that scene?
정호석
....uh..
정호석
Ah..! I just have to go and see what happened during that time!
김남준
Yeah. You know about our superpowers, so I don't need to explain any further, right?
김도윤
...
김도윤
okay
정호석
Agreed? Then wait a moment.
정호석
I'll come back soon
30 minutes had passed since Hoseok started to be silent.
Yun-gi was preoccupied with searching for something on his laptop, and the kids chatted away in their own way, passing the time.
전정국
So your mother is still in the hospital?
김도윤
Yeah. I was there for a while, but I'm not ready to be discharged yet.
박지민
Oh my... what should I do?
김도윤
..it will get better someday
김도윤
By the way, do I have to wake him up?
김석진
..Come to think of it, it's been over 30 minutes since I closed my eyes.
김석진
Normally, I would have seen everything in about 10 or 20 minutes. Why is it taking so long?
김태형
..No way. Just wait a little longer..
정호석
Ugh...
Hoseok woke up at just the right time.
He was sitting on a chair, and his neck was sore, so he started stretching here and there. Then he straightened up and continued speaking.
정호석
30 minutes... It took a while, didn't it?
박지민
Why did you do that, which is so uncharacteristic of you?
정호석
There was something like that. Anyway, right now you're most curious about the results, right?
정호석
First of all, it's not Kim Namjoon
김석진
..then who is it?
정호석
..
정호석
It was a girl named Kim Na-yeon.
김도윤
....
김도윤
Then why wasn't the rank in front of me..?
민윤기
You probably didn't memorize the answer
김도윤
yes..?
민윤기
Okay, I just picked your rankings. Look at that.
민윤기
1st place is Kang Woojin, 2nd place is Kim Namjoon, 3rd place is Kim Doyoon, and 4th place is Kim Nayeon
민윤기
He fell to 4th place because he couldn't memorize the answer sheet, but instead, you and he, who studied a bit, rose to 2nd and 3rd place.
정호석
that's right
정호석
Actually, there's one more thing I saw in the past...
정호석
On the day the rankings came out, I saw Kim Na-yeon's mother hitting her child at her house.
정호석
I even gave you the test paper, but that's all you can do?
김태형
........
전정국
...those people are really bad
김도윤
...
김도윤
Then I...
김도윤
You're saying that you tried to kill an innocent person?
민윤기
And now that all your crimes have come to light, you'll likely face a pretty hefty sentence. You might even face life imprisonment.
김도윤
...When does the trial start?
민윤기
Once all the materials are handed over to the court, it will take at least a week.
민윤기
Until then, take care of your surroundings
김도윤
...yes..
Time passed quickly.
Do-yoon was expelled from school, and his younger brother Je-yoon also dropped out of school.
The two brothers were the subject of gossip from students, and the teachers and parents who stole the test papers were also subject to disciplinary action and legal judgment.
And then, the day before the trial came
Ring ring ring ring
김석진
hello?
"...it's me"
김도윤
Kim Do-yoon...
김석진
..how did you get my number..?
김도윤
I got it through asking around.. Sorry for calling you out of the blue
김석진
Why me...
김도윤
..can you do me one favor?
That evening
김도윤
Everyone... came
전정국
..I think I'll regret it if I don't come
김도윤
thank you..
김도윤
Then... shall we go in?
김석진
huh..
Drumroll-
"Doyoon...!!"
김도윤
....
김도윤
mom..
