#Episode 73

As soon as Lee Jae-hyun got off work, he took a taxi and headed to Incheon.

I can’t help but feel especially sorry for Song A-ram.

If it weren’t for her help during the Park Chun-beom incident, it would have been difficult to uncover his crimes.

But compared to the help he received, Lee Jae-hyun was unable to properly repay Song A-ram.

Lee Jae-hyun couldn’t help but feel indebted to him.

One of the factors that made me very nervous was the fact that the school violence incident that Song A-ram was experiencing was not properly resolved.

Since he also had a sense of responsibility for A/S, it was natural for Jaehyun Lee to go to Incheon.

“Welcome.”

He arrived at Incheon West Police Station, and as soon as he got out of the taxi, Officer Oh Seo-hyeon, who had been waiting, greeted him.

Her black hair was tied up in a ponytail so as not to be distracting, and she was dressed for activity with a light flight jacket and a T-shirt.

It was typical ‘detective fashion’.

Without even having time to feel happy to see a face he hadn’t seen in a long time, Jaehyun Lee got straight to the point.

“What exactly is the situation right now? Are the kids bullying Aram again or…….”

School violence is not something that can be easily stopped.

The perpetrators are becoming increasingly cunning, and the adults who are supposed to protect the victims cannot be there 24 hours a day… … .

Inevitably, there was a time when the victim was exposed to the perpetrator’s retaliation.

Lee Jae-hyun asked with a worried expression on his face.

Fortunately, Officer Oh Seo-hyeon shook his head and opened his mouth.

“No, that’s not it. I talk to Aram often, and we even went to a sauna together last time, but there were no signs of that.”

“then…….”

“But it doesn’t seem like they’re just being quiet, and I think they’re bullying other kids.”

“……The target simply changed.”

Lee Jae-hyun said with a hardened expression on his face.

This is why it is difficult to eradicate school violence.

No matter how much they shouted about preventing school violence, there was nothing the police could do institutionally in the first place.

All they can do is protect the victim.

Even that method was full of holes, and it was safe to say that there was virtually no means of sanctioning the perpetrator.

Even if the victim is protected, there is little that can be done if the perpetrator changes his target like this.

“Yes, I think Aram is doing that because I’m protecting her. Realistically… school violence is a structure where the victim has to have the courage to punish her properly.”

This was something that was truly unavoidable.

No matter how much evidence there is… … .

If the victim doesn’t report it, or says, “We were just joking around among friends.”

All that evidence is of no use.

However, what is surprising is that Song A-ram has evidence and Officer Oh Seo-hyeon is right next to her, so she can file a complaint at any time.

And of course, Song A-ram had the courage to punish the perpetrators of school violence.

I don’t know who the other friend is who is being bullied right now, but if Song Aram sues those guys.

First of all, the school will step in and try to resolve the situation in some way.

Since Officer Oh Seo-hyeon is holding out, it won’t be easy to resolve the situation, so of course the case will be resolved properly.

If this happens twice, the teachers will be keeping a close eye on the guys.

If that happens, it will be difficult for the perpetrators to run wild like before, and the victims will naturally disappear.

“Aram……”

“While the lawsuit was in progress… they suddenly said they would withdraw it.”

“I guess there is work to be done.”

Lee Jae-hyun took on a serious expression at Officer Oh Seo-hyeon’s words.

If Song A-ram, whose relationship with her father had deteriorated due to school violence, suddenly withdrew the lawsuit, there must be a reason for it.

“Yes, for now, I’m not going to withdraw the lawsuit, but I’m just buying time…….”

“Aram, won’t you change your mind?”

“Yes, that’s true. Aram is avoiding talking to me about dropping the lawsuit, so I can’t figure out why.”

“Anyway, I guess I’ll have to have a proper talk with Aram to find out something.”

“That’s why I called you. I want you to talk to Aram.”

Officer Oh Seo-hyeon probably couldn’t help it.

If Song A-ram herself wants to withdraw the lawsuit, there is nothing we can do.

I had to find out because they wouldn’t have dropped the lawsuit for no reason.

“Okay. Then first… let’s go meet Aram.”

Lee Jae-hyun said so and got up from his seat together with Officer Oh Seo-hyeon.

And of course, the place they headed to was Song’s noodle restaurant.

“Welcome……. Ah!”

As soon as Lee Jae-hyun entered the noodle restaurant, Song A-ram, who had been greeting him, stopped after seeing the faces of Lee Jae-hyun and Officer Oh Seo-hyun.

She approached me with hesitant steps, as if she was reluctant about something, and greeted me.

“……hello.”

“Yeah, how have you been?”

Song A-ram greets us with a listless voice.

Lee Jae-hyun answered with a forced smile.

How can you show such blatant reluctance?

It was so obvious that he was trying to hide something.

Jaehyun Lee turned his head toward the kitchen where the rustling sound was coming from.

“Boss, please give me two bowls of hot soup!”

“Yes! Huh? Officer Lee Jae-hyun?”

President Song, who had been peeking out of the kitchen to answer, checked Jaehyun Lee’s face, took off his rubber gloves, and ran out into the store.

“Oh my, come in. Tell them you’re coming.”

President Song holds Jaehyun Lee’s hand with a bright face.

As soon as he saw that, Lee Jae-hyun realized that Song A-ram was keeping this a secret from her father.

“I came here because I was nearby and thought of Mr. Song’s noodles.”

“Oh, please sit down. I’ll bring it over right away. Aram! The inspector is here, so why are you doing that?”

“Uh, uh……. No. Sir, please sit here.”

The boss tilted his head for a moment when he saw Aram with an awkward expression on her face, then told her to wait a moment and went back into the kitchen.

Jaehyun Lee glanced at the kitchen where the boss had entered, then opened his mouth.

“Aram.”

“……yes.”

“I’m here for A/S. I’ll help you with anything.”

“It’s okay now. You don’t have to provide after-sales service.”

“Why did you suddenly change your mind?”

“Just like that.”

Song A-ram, who appears blunt and sad at the same time.

Since it seemed clear that something was there, Jaehyun Lee opened his mouth calmly.

“Aram, it’s definitely your fault for not giving me enough trust… but if you trust me and talk to me one more time, I’ll do my best to provide after-sales service.”

“……You too, sir, are in big trouble.”

Lee Jae-hyun’s expression strangely hardened.

And that goes for not only Lee Jae-hyun, but also Officer Oh Seo-hyun.

‘Sir, you too… … . said?’

What that means is that someone else got into trouble first.

Jaehyun Lee continued speaking, frowning.

“Aram, sir, I’m a police officer. Just tell me anything…….”

“Their dads don’t even care about the police or anything.”

“what……?”

Song Aram responded to his words in a pretended rude tone.

However, Lee Jae-hyun did not miss the sad voice hidden behind it.

It was a familiar voice.

The voice of the weak who have no choice but to endure unfair and unjust treatment to hide their pain.

Lee Jae-hyun, with a stiff face, asks again.

“Now, here comes the delicious noodles.”

As the boss came out with the noodles, Song Aram shut her mouth tightly.

Still, Song A-ram doesn’t want to worry her father.

Officer Oh Seo-hyeon immediately stood up from his seat.

“Oh, right! Sir, can I talk to you for a moment?”

“Yes? Please eat first…….”

“Boss, why don’t we go outside for a bit and have a cigarette?”

Officer Oh Seo-hyeon takes the noodle restaurant owner out.

Song Aram let out a small sigh when she saw that sight.

“……I know that too. Seohyun unnie really cares a lot. The fact that the old man came was because Seohyun unnie called him.”

“huh.”

“Ha… But seriously, I think they’re crazy.”

“If you tell me slowly what’s going on, I’ll try my best.”

Lee Jae-hyun looks Song A-ram in the eye and speaks.

Song Aram finally opens her mouth carefully.

“Recently… the kids haven’t been bullying me anymore, and there was an article about the noodle restaurant, so I’ve made some friends.”

“That’s fortunate.”

“No, fortunately not. There’s a girl named Choi Soo-jin who I’m very close with… and now they’re bullying Soo-jin.”

Jaehyun Lee clenched his fist.

It seems that the changed target that Officer Oh Seo-hyeon was talking about is a child named Su-jin.

‘Then, if we proceed with the lawsuit against that child named Soojin… … .’

As Officer Oh Seo-hyeon said, the children will not escape punishment.

Plus, you’ll be firmly attached to the school, so it won’t be easy to move from now on.

Lee Jae-hyun thought so.

Until I heard Song Aram speak while sobbing.

“Seriously, they’re such bad guys… They said if I don’t drop the charges, they’ll kill Soojin.”

She said, clenching her small fists.

I wonder if I’ve been underestimating kids these days.

They were smarter than I thought.

It was not the person involved, but a bystander who was being threatened.

After Song A-ram’s name was cleared, she finally made a friend.

The threat using her friend Soojin would have had a greater impact on her.

‘Threat of retaliation… … .’

Lee Jae-hyun thought about the charges in his mind.

Song Aram now continues speaking in a tearful voice.

“Soojin also wants to do something. Because Soojin’s father works at Hyunjin’s father’s company…….”

And even taking advantage of their social status.

It was clear that the student named Sujin was also going through a lot of mental anguish.

Lee Jae-hyun gritted his teeth.

However, Song Aram’s words were not over yet.

“He just pointed a lighter at me… He said he was going to set fire to Dad’s store too….”

At that moment, a ‘click’ sound leaked out from between Jaehyun Lee’s clenched teeth.

From threats of retaliation to special threats.

It was a threat using even the first friend I had just made and my only family.

How painful must the scars engraved on top of the wounds from school violence have been before they have even healed.

He was looking at Song Aram, so he lowered his gaze slightly and looked at her hand, which was clenched into a fist.

He clenched his fist so hard that it turned white.

“Aram.”

After Lee Jae-hyun engraved the fist in his eyes, he raised his head again.

He met Song Aram’s eyes and smiled to reassure her.

“don’t worry.”

“……mister.”

However, Lee Jae-hyun’s hand hidden under the table was clenched into a fist with so much strength that it was trembling.

Still, he smiled.

If only the fist of the child in front of me could be straightened again.

I could have done this kind of acting any time.

It was enough for Lee Jae-hyun himself to clench his fist upon hearing this story.

He continued speaking without losing the smile he had been trying to force on.

“You have nothing to worry about.”

In contrast to Jaehyun Lee’s soft words, his fists clenched under the table spoke volumes about his feelings.

You guys, I really can’t leave you alone.
