This area is crazy
2. What is a beomtangmo?
Why is life so hard to get through?
Lee Seok-min grabbed his pounding head and stepped onto the rooftop.
이석민
... ha.
He took out a pack of Marlboro cigarettes from his pocket, picked up a cigarette, and lit it with the lighter.
A dazzling collaboration of pungent air and a head that feels like it's going to burst.
이석민
I need to quit smoking...
김민규
Excuse me, detective.
이석민
...please don't surprise me.
이석민
I'm so embarrassed I could cry.
김민규
Because I don't care about the crying face of a young man.
이석민
Do you know who it is?
Lee Seok-min said that Kim Min-gyu in front of him was because of cigarette smoke.
I knew that he was talking in a hurry and his eyes were red.
이석민
If you're a non-smoker... don't be so mean, go home and rest comfortably.
이석민
I'm not really interested in seeing people who have the same thing cry.
김민규
Who said I was crying? Give me a cigarette too.
김민규
Because I can smoke too.
Kim Min-gyu picked up a cigarette from Lee Seok-min's hand and stared at him intently.
He brought his cigarette close to the one Lee Seok-min was holding.
이석민
...Shall I give you a lighter?
김민규
No need.
Close face.
Rather than feeling excited, I felt depressed and turned my face away after checking that the cigarette was lit.
김민규
... gulp, gulp. Ah, gulp.
이석민
Seriously, why are you doing that?
김민규
Why, what? It's because my lungs aren't in good condition.
김민규
Do you have any complaints?
김민규
If not, just ignore it.
이석민
Ah... Min-gyu.
이석민
If you say, "Let's just ignore it," and end it, the interest doesn't disappear.
이석민
Please give me a cigarette.
이석민
And why did you follow me here?
이석민
Say what you want to say. I'm here to listen.
I swallowed the words, “That kid who can’t even smoke a cigarette…”
김민규
Okay. Now, let's get to the point.
김민규
You know that this place is called Death-dong, not XX-dong, right?
김민규
And this is a crazy town where even the police, detectives, and doctors have given up.
김민규
I... grew up here.
김민규
Leaving is also difficult.
이석민
Are you so bored at the age of twenty-six?
김민규
Ah... Don't interrupt. Let's do the talking next time.
김민규
So, since there is no one here who can do the job properly,
김민규
Characteristics of alleys where crimes occur.
김민규
The possibility of serial murder.
김민규
The role is to guess and eliminate such things.
김민규
This is the role of our Beomtangmo...
이석민
B...what?
김민규
Crime Squad Meeting.
김민규
Abbreviated as Beomtangmo.
이석민
Oh, really... You're giving away everything.
이석민
So how did the deduction go?
김민규
First, we arrested three people who were clearly involved.
김민규
I guess it's not the police or anything...
김민규
And you can't just lock them up.
이석민
It feels like they've locked me up on purpose. What's the difference?
김민규
Consciences are different.
김민규
Anyway... that's why I need you, detective.
김민규
It happened in a small bar in the bookstore alley here.
김민규
Alleyway cocktail incident.
김민규
We need to resolve that together first.
이석민
ha...
Kim Min-gyu closed his eyes tightly after hearing that sigh.
Please. This place needs to become a place where people can live.
이석민
All right.
김민규
Jin, really? You can't say anything else.
김민규
Thank you, Detective.
“Thank you so much,” said Kim Min-kyu with a smile.
이석민
...I'm a detective too, and I'm just doing my job.
이석민
There is no need to be thankful.
He seemed like the kind of person who could make your heart flutter a little.
