Episode 543

“… … .”

Kim Young-ji, who was glaring at Seong-yoon, suddenly burst into laughter as if she was about to hear something strange.

“Seongyoon, come to your senses. How can Jeongmin do drugs?”

“I don’t know about that. But can you guarantee that Jeongmin didn’t touch drugs? How? Jeongmin doesn’t go to school, but it’s not like the teachers are always there for him. Really? Isn’t it impossible unless they’re keeping him in custody and monitoring him?”

“Ha… … . Do you know how much the drugs cost? How would Jeongmin get them?”

“If there is a possibility, we should check it out.”

“So, you want to check if Jeongmin is addicted to drugs?”

“Yes. And in that situation, you have to make sure that you don’t touch drugs.”

Kim Young-ji let out a long sigh.

He was quiet right after we met, but I don’t know where he heard something and why he’s suddenly acting like this.

“The teachers don’t think so, but if that’s true, we should stop it like you said. I’ll talk to Jeongmin first. Is that true?”

“… …You speak as if you know nothing.”

“Of course I don’t know anything. It’s not like we’re constantly monitoring you like you said. We’re just protecting you until you guys find a place to live together, not confining you. We can’t control where and what Jungmin does in his personal time. And we can’t. I’m saying this because you seem to be suspicious, but even if Jungmin does drugs, it’s Jungmin’s personal deviation.”

While saying that, Kim Young-ji kept complaining to Seong-yoon, saying things like he should stop watching movies and that if he had that much imagination, he should pursue a creative career.

“… … Teacher, aren’t you worried about Jeongmin?”

“If what you say is true, then of course I’d be worried. But since what you say isn’t true, then you don’t have to worry. In the first place, Jeongmin is not in a condition to access drugs. In that situation, how can losing weight and looking unwell be a symptom of drug addiction? But since you’re so worried, I’ll talk to you thoroughly, and if it’s true, I’ll make sure you get treatment. Is that okay? I’ll really listen to all the nonsense.”

“If you could just hurry up and finish organizing the paperwork and whatever, and then Jeongmin and I can stay together, you wouldn’t have to hear things like this from me.”

Instead of answering, Kim Young-ji jumped up.

And then he looked at the menu displayed on the counter and said.

“Pick something to drink. I’ll buy it for you, so drink it and then let’s go in together.”

“I’m not going in right now.”

“why?”

“I’ve decided to meet the kids later for a performance evaluation.”

Kim Young-ji frowned without realizing it.

Seongyoon also doesn’t know where to go now.

I have to take her in.

‘How could a kid who didn’t know anything strange until yesterday be using drugs…? No way.’

Could it be that he is colluding with those college students?

Looking at Sungyoon’s phone records, there has been no such movement so far.

But when I first saw Jeongmin, I nodded when he said body aches, but then he suddenly started talking about drugs, which bothers me.

‘I can’t just leave it like that.’

Even so, Eom Seong-yoon was showing signs of gradually escaping from the control of the Angel’s House.

Appropriate action is needed.

Running away from home was a method that had already been used on Son Jeong-min, so if the same method was used on Eom Seong-yoon, he was worried that Cha Ju-han would make matters worse by saying that there was a problem with the Angel’s House since two of them ran away in a short period of time, so he left it as Plan B.

After the fact that Eom Seong-yoon had committed suicide was revealed, the director strictly ordered him not to do anything that could be criticized.

But now that I look at it, it seems like the risk would be greater if we let Eom Seong-yoon do whatever he wants, so isn’t there no way out?

Anyway, since everyone knows that Eom Seong-yoon tried to harm himself in front of the volunteers and frame them, they can just lock him up and assume he ran away because his mental state was unstable.

‘I’m sure other people will do the same.’

The few Angel House employees who had been cooperating with Wooshin’s human trafficking business didn’t have much to worry about other than forging documents.

However, after the college students were dispatched, they were stressed to the limit due to being conscious of surveillance.

Let’s say that Son Jeong-min rebelled too much to be kept alive, and that it’s too much of a concern to kill him for the future, but isn’t Eom Seong-yoon different?

‘If it weren’t for those college students, it wouldn’t have had to come to this… … .’

Even if you tell your kids not to contact college students, they won’t listen.

I’ve thought about taking away all the kids’ cell phones for the time being, but it was obvious that doing something like that at a time like this would get to Cha Ju-han’s ears right away.

If it just gets into Cha Ju-han’s ears, it’s worth it.

If you say that you only took it away because you thought it would interfere with your studies, then Cha Joo-han will have no choice but to annoy you a little.

The problem is that college students know which schools their kids go to and they can’t stop them from going to see them.

I guess I’ll have to go with the direction of keeping it locked up.

Anyway, So-eun will be processed as adopted on paper, so once So-eun’s case is taken care of, there will be no need to be conscious of their eyes like this.

At that time, you can kill Eom Seong-yoon by disguising it as suicide, and deal with Son Jeong-min while watching what happens to the dump truck case.

“No. Come with me quickly.”

She, lost in her thoughts entangled in annoyance, grabbed Seongyoon Eom’s shoulder and tried to raise him up.

But Seongyoon Eom didn’t move an inch.

“It’s a performance evaluation. I barely managed to find time because of the kids’ academy, and if not today, I won’t be able to meet you.”

“Since when have you been so focused on studying? And it’s almost vacation. What kind of performance evaluation is this? Stop talking nonsense and follow me.”

“It’s not my grades that are the problem, it’s the other kids who are affected.”

“Are you guys college students? Just tell them to consider it as just hanging out together. Come quickly.”

“No, even if I’m a fucking orphan, do I have to do everything the teacher says? There’s no reason to stop you from doing this, right? Is there something that bothers you?”

As soon as Seongyoon Eom raised his voice, the attention of the cafe customers instantly turned to him.

Kim Young-ji blushed.

“Seongyoon, why on earth are you doing that… … .”

“Teacher, why are you doing this! Angel’s House is originally a place where the children it takes care of are not allowed to study?!”

When Seongyoon Eom shouted loudly, people started to murmur.

“Come out and talk for a moment.”

“What am I talking about with a teacher who won’t even give me a reason and won’t let me evaluate my performance! Was Angel’s House always like this?!”

He was deliberately emphasizing the words “angel house.”

Kim Young-ji bit her lips hard.

“You, just wait and see.”

She ended up glaring at Eom Seong-yoon and went out of the cafe.

* * *

That evening, that night, and even until the next morning, Seongyoon did not return to the angel’s house.

“Your phone is still off?!”

“……yes.”

“The cafe worker said yesterday that you left and that guy left too.”

“Yes. That’s what happened… … .”

“Then you should have brought the child from there, why did you come alone!”

The director shouted at Kim Young-ji.

Then Kim Young-ji rolled her eyes as if she was embarrassed.

“… … Don’t you know how scary the internet is these days? I couldn’t help but think that if he caused so much trouble and a video was taken of him, it would be even worse!”

“Where the hell did that kid go!”

I wanted to call the school to see if Seongyoon had attended school, but the principal calmed down for now.

If you contact the Angel House first, the teacher will notice that Seongyoon has disappeared.

Depending on the situation, Seongyoon’s mental state was not normal, and it seemed that he eventually couldn’t hold out and ran away, so he should pretend to be worried about Seongyoon, but that wasn’t the case right now.

Anyway, if Seongyoon doesn’t show up, the teacher will contact him first, so it’s better to wait for that time.

“They don’t have it in PC rooms?”

“I’ve been looking around the neighborhood since last night, but it’s not there. I’ve even gone to another neighborhood to look for it, but they say it’s not there.”

“You probably don’t have any money, so where on earth are you and what are you doing? Aren’t you staying at your school friend’s house?”

“I don’t know, that… … .”

I didn’t think Sungyoon wouldn’t do something impulsive, but I didn’t know it would be yesterday.

Kim Young-ji panicked, thinking she had made a huge mistake.

What if things go wrong and Seongyoon really does go to the police like he kept shouting about?

Even though Wooshin will stop it, it is unclear what responsibility he will hold himself responsible for.

I should have dragged you out of the cafe then.

You should have dragged him out by any means possible, and if you couldn’t handle it by force, you should have called the staff and had them put him in the car.

She chewed her lips.

Suddenly, in a situation where Seongyoon was shouting about the Angel’s House in front of many people, all the stress I had been feeling came rushing back at once and I couldn’t bear it.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have gotten involved in something like this just to make some money.

And time passed, and it was now 11 am.

“Yes, teacher. Yes. Ah… … . Yes. Actually, Seongyoon is having a hard time these days. Yes. Ah, yes… … . Um, yes. I’ll try to persuade him well so he can go to school before the vacation starts. Yes. I’m sorry, teacher. Yes.”

The director finished the call in a soft voice and hung up.

“You didn’t go to school, you punk.”

“I think I need to find it quickly, but what should I do? If I really go to the police, no… … . Wouldn’t the worst thing be to go find the owner?”

“How did he know about Cha Ju-han and go to him?”

“If you feel guilty and contact Kim Hyun-jong to apologize, he will connect you!”

The director opened his eyes wide at Kim Young-ji’s words.

That’s really the worst case scenario.

If you go to the police, you can say that Seongyoon keeps lying because he’s entering puberty, or you can pressure him into getting it.

Cha Ju-han is a very difficult person to deal with.

“First, try contacting the kids that kid was close with.”

“… … You were closest with Jeongmin, right?”

“Then, tell Jeongmin to ask that kid! Aside from him, wasn’t there another girl who used to talk a lot back then?”

“Oh, it’s Yoo Kyung.”

“Ask him too. Just find out all the people you feel close to.”

Kim Young-ji turned on the app and opened the note she had saved while researching Eom Seong-yoon.

I think there was also a list of people I was close with.

The director, who was watching Kim Young-ji scroll down busily, shrugged his shoulders and said.

“Anyway, he won’t be able to go straight to the police or the driver.”

“… … Do you really think so?”

“You’re the one who was having a hard time because you felt guilty about framing Kim Hyun-jong. And you’re worried about Son Jeong-min too.”

“That’s why I can even ask the police to find Son Jeong-min!”

“No. What did he expect by stabbing the police? He just gave up on getting money from us and is trying to find Son Jeong-min.”

“But?”

“Then don’t you think that Son Jeong-min will also be arrested as a drug offender? She’s worried about Son Jeong-min that much. At least she’ll contact us once before stabbing the police. She’ll try to make some kind of deal with Son Jeong-min.”

“… … I guess so.”

“And the deposit for a studio apartment and the monthly living expenses are added on top of that. Is that a condition that’s so easy to give up? Have you ever seen kids move out after becoming adults here? Everyone is busy worrying about how to make a living. Eom Seong-yoon knows that best. The moment you get stabbed by the police, the deposit for the apartment and the living expenses are all gone, but before that, he’ll probably try to do something one more time.”

And then we just have to catch Seongyoon Eom and make sure he never acts so arrogantly again.
