You Are Defended - Chapter 544

Episode 544

A week has already passed since Seongyoon disappeared without a sound.

School was canceled for three days, and then vacation began.

The homeroom teacher called Angel’s house to ask what was happening to Seongyoon, and Angel’s house responded that Seongyoon was refusing to go to school.

Rather, he was concerned that there might be a problem with the relationship between friends and went so far as to shift the responsibility to the homeroom teacher.

“Where on earth is that tiny thing hiding?”

I thought I would hear from Sungyoon in some way in a few days, but the resistance took longer than expected.

“It seems like I searched all the PC rooms in Seoul… … .”

The director said, looking at a map full of scissors stuck on a whiteboard.

Since I assigned Sungyoon the mission, I installed an app on his phone that could check his real-time location, but the phone hasn’t been turned on even once since the day it disappeared.

“When on earth are you going to contact me… … .”

Still, the director had some faith.

Because news of Seongyoon was coming from everywhere.

[q-pyeong-e-pyeong Our house is 48 pyeong: Where are you;; Why aren’t you coming from school?

This is Seongyoon Eom: I ran away from home lol It sucks

qpyeongepyeongOur house is 48 pyeong: Huh, running away??? Why?

Seongyoon Eom: There is something like that…

qpyeongepyeongOur house is 48 pyeong: Where is it now;;

It’s Sungyoon Eom: That’s a secret… I’m just going around hiding. Are you going to do a duo? If not, go and queue separately.

q-pyeong e-pyeong Our house is 48 pyeong: Well, at least I need to know where you are so I can play games with you without worry…

It’s Sungyoon Eom: I’m safe and sound, so stop asking… And don’t tell anyone that I contacted you.]

The director looked at a photograph that looked like a computer screen.

This was something that a friend who was in the same class as Seongyoon last year told me.

I was worried when I heard that Seongyoon was absent, so I tried talking to him when he logged into the game, and this was a picture of the conversation.

How worried must he have been that he came all the way to Angel’s house to show it to her?

That wasn’t all.

[Yoo Kyung: Oppa, why didn’t you check my messages and why did you turn off your phone…ㅠ If you see this, call me…

Sungyoon: Contact

Yu-kyung: What, what, a call?

Seongyoon: You told me to contact you lol

Yu-kyung: Huh…? Oh, oppa, are you online right now???

Seongyoon: Yeah

Yu-kyung: Where the hell are you!!!!!! Everyone is so worried about you, oppa…ㅠㅠ How long has it been since Jeong-min disappeared and you disappeared too…ㅠ Are you with Jeong-min?

Seongyoon: No, that’s not it

Yu-kyung: Then where the hell are you?!?! Where are you sleeping right now, oppa?

Seongyoon: I’m hiding lol

Yu-kyung: Are you still a victim?!?! Then are you still a victim? Where are you a victim?!?! Do you have money, oppa…?

Seongyoon: Yeah, I have some saved up

Yu-kyung: Where are you? I’m worried about you, oppa.

Seongyoon: Don’t worry, I’m fine

Yu-kyung: When are you coming? ㅠㅠㅠAren’t you coming? ㅠㅠㅠㅠDid you go to another shelter or something, oppa..?

Seongyoon: I don’t know about that, but I won’t go in until I get what I want. Don’t tell anyone that you contacted me.

Yu-kyung: Okay…

Seongyoon: How is the atmosphere there now?

Yu-kyung: Angel’s house?

Seongyoon: Yeah..

Yu-kyung: It’s a mess looking for oppa… I think I’ll report it to the police…

Seongyoon: Police? Hahaha I can’t do it haha ​​Anyway, I understand]

It was a Facebook messenger message I received from Yu-kyung, who was a close friend of Jeong-min at Angel’s House.

It appears that he had a conversation with Yoo Kyung once through Facebook Messenger, and it was reported that he had talked to two of his school friends in the game.

Seongyoon seemed to firmly believe that if he told his friends not to tell, they would keep the secret, but unfortunately, his friends did not keep quiet.

Through this, they were able to figure out Sungyoon’s whereabouts a little more specifically.

He seemed to spend most of his time at the PC room, and when he felt unbearably sleepy, he went to the sauna.

Considering that the allowance given to Seongyoon was not that large, it was obvious that he would not be able to sustain that kind of lifestyle for long.

“Seongyoon thinks he’s sitting on top of my head.”

The director laughed in vain.

It’s commendable that he hasn’t been caught yet, but his childish, unwavering faith in those around him has ruined his plans.

Even if you jump, it’s just a flea.

Even so, it is impossible to wait forever for Seongyoon to attempt negotiations.

The director turned on the intercom and called Yoo-kyung.

“Yukyeong-ah.”

Yoo-kyung entered the director’s office with a face full of worry and approached the desk where the director was sitting.

“Teacher, I have a favor to ask.”

“… … What is it?”

“Seongyoon doesn’t know yet what Yukyung told the teacher?”

“yes…….”

“Then, could you please send a message to Seongyoon?”

“… … What are you sending?”

“I wish you would tell Seongyoon that I told him to meet just once so that I could grant him whatever he wants.”

“But then wouldn’t Seongyoon oppa notice? I told the director that I contacted oppa… … .”

“Then just have the teachers gather all the kids together and say that if there’s anyone among them who can contact Seongyoon, please tell them. The teachers won’t ask who they are, so just say that you asked them to tell Seongyoon. Then Seongyoon won’t suspect anything.”

“Oh, I guess so.”

“I’m so worried about Seongyoon. I wish he’d come back soon. I wish he’d just tell me what’s making things so hard for him… … .”

The director took a deep breath and said.

Then, Yoo-kyung quickly took out her cell phone and opened Facebook Messenger.

[Yoo-kyung: Oppa… The teachers told us to tell anyone among us who can contact you… I’ll give you anything you want, so let’s just meet up this once…ㅠ I was thinking of not telling you, but I thought you should know… Oppa, are you really not coming back?]

I sent the message and waited for 5 minutes, but Seongyoon still hadn’t connected.

Isn’t this a PC room now?

The director looked at Yu-kyung’s cell phone, which wasn’t receiving any notifications, then raised his head as if to say that it was enough.

“Yukyung, rest for now. When you get a call, will you tell the teacher then? Any time is fine, so if the teacher isn’t at Angel’s house, call… … .”

That was when.

Yu-kyung’s phone screen brightened and a message notification popped up.

As expected, it was a Facebook Messenger notification.

A reply had arrived from Seongyoon.

[Seongyoon: ㅋㅋYou must be so nervous…ㅋㅋ I contacted the Angel’s House representative via email. Thank you for telling me. Thanks to you, I was able to figure out the mood.]

Yoo Kyung showed the contents of the message to the director right away.

Then the director smiled and said to Yu-kyung.

“Thank you, Yu-kyung. I think Seong-yoon is misunderstanding something… … I don’t know what happened, but the teacher will somehow bring Seong-yoon back.”

She stroked Yu-kyung’s head and took out a Choco Pie from the drawer and gave it to her.

Yu-kyung nodded and went out of the director’s office.

And as soon as the door closed, the director logged into the Angel House representative email account.

[Title: Requirements.

On July 26th at 6PM, please bring Jeongmin to the cafe right in front of Exit 12 of Gangnam Station.

My requirements are

1. Let me talk alone with Jeongmin there for 10 minutes.

2. As soon as you leave the cafe, go to the hospital and get tested.

3. I will hold onto the studio and send it out within a week. (The teachers will take care of the paperwork anyway. They can do it without me, and if they need me, they can just hold onto me and do it, right?)

4. Pay living expenses as promised.

These are the four.

If even one of the conditions is not met, I will immediately contact the police, and if there is no one at the meeting place at 6 o’clock on the 26th, I will go to the police station.

From now on, no matter how much you pester the Angel House kids, I won’t answer your calls, and I won’t read your replies to this email, so keep your promise. Then, I’ll see you at the cafe on the 26th.]

The director, who had been silently checking the contents of his email until the sound of footsteps grew distant, soon burst into laughter as he became certain that Yu-kyung had left the administrative office.

And that laughter soon turned into roaring laughter.

“Where did you get this kind of attitude towards adults? You uneducated brat… … .”

It seems like he really knows what he can do.

When I told her to gently soothe the child, Kim Young-ji seemed to be treating him like a spoiled brat.

How else could you act so fearlessly?

Even though you are young and ignorant of the ways of the world, how dare you ask for a deal like this?

It seems like he doesn’t fully understand what kind of situation he’s in.

“Secretary Kim Young-ji. Come to my room.”

As soon as the director hung up the phone, Kim Young-ji came into the director’s office.

It seemed like she had already read Seongyoon’s email that had arrived in her main email account.

Kim Young-ji spoke as if she was afraid to meet his eyes.

“I checked the IP address that sent the email, and it looks like it’s near Gangnam Station.”

“Can you give me a specific location?”

“No, it only gives a rough idea of ​​where it is. I’ve already requested the specific location.”

“First, search the area.”

Seeing him keep saying police, police, it seems like the best thing Sungyoon could think of was the police, but even if Sungyoon brings the police along, nothing will change.

How much has Wooshin planted in the police so far?

Even if Sungyoon shows up at the cafe with the police, if you notify your superiors in advance, it can be dealt with quietly behind the scenes.

When I was first trying to comfort and appease Seongyoon, I tried my best to prevent even that level of noise from occurring because I thought the higher-ups would not tolerate it.

If we can stop it just by coaxing it, that would be the best we can do.

But now he has crossed the line.

Now that we’ve completely escaped the situation where we could end things well, we have no choice but to use all the means at our disposal.

Do you really think that I’ve been telling you to come and go all this time because I’m scared of you?

Seongyoon may not have known that his reckless actions would lead to such consequences, but if he could learn from this opportunity, wouldn’t that be true education?

“I think you can find it if you go around the PC rooms and saunas nearby. Since you don’t have money, you probably can’t go to places like cafes anyway. Even though you know that you can track people with your GPS if you turn your phone off, you probably didn’t know that you can check your IP address by email, right?”

There is a way to catch him after contacting him at the cafe as Sungyoon requested, but since he doesn’t seem to know how scary the world is, I want to find him even if it means getting in his arms.

“While you’re at it, check out that cafe that guy mentioned. You need to see if there’s any escape routes other than the entrance. Look in places like the bathrooms. If there’s a window, you might be able to escape. If there’s more escape routes, you should probably have people sit down in advance.”

Even if you don’t find it today, you can always catch it when you meet it that day, so some planning is necessary.

I also thought of a way to catch Seongyoon without attracting people’s attention.

Oh, that guy might try to trick me by rolling his head, so we need to think about various possibilities and block them in advance.

The director turned his chair and looked out the window.

Thinking of Seongyoon, I couldn’t help but smile.

It’s true that the effort is admirable, but it’s not like you’ve only dealt with kids for a day or two, so even if you think about it, it’s just the same.

“From what you say, it doesn’t seem like you’re getting help from the police or college students, right?”

Kim Young-ji asked cautiously, watching the director’s expression.

“If that was the case, there’s no way he would have contacted his friends while having fun. Besides, there’s no way he wouldn’t have known that the IP address of the email sender was revealed. And if he had decided to get help from the police or the traitors who drove the car, he would have given up on the money we had promised to give him and decided to save only Son Jeong-min.”

“Yes.”

“Then there was no mention of a deposit or living expenses in the requirements. If there are too many requirements, the probability that we won’t accept them increases. If there was someone who could help us, wouldn’t they have known that? Wouldn’t they have wanted to somehow reduce the requirements to increase the possibility that we would agree to the negotiation? This kid still hasn’t given up on his greed for money.”

“I think so too, but I think it’s better to be prepared.”

“Of course. We have to prepare for all possibilities. Whether it’s the police, college students, or even if Cha Joo-han is involved.”
