Chapter 26 – My Heart Is So Scared (2)
The next morning, Jiyeon woke to the sound of a loud ringing.
On her cell phone display was the name Ju-eun.
Jiyeon recalled Minho's face.
He wasn't officially a suspect, but she couldn't help but automatically think of him.
Yes, but she couldn't tell her that either.
Ju-eun's informational program "Tell It" received high ratings and widespread praise.
It was considered to be the best program on current affairs and it uncovered corruption in every corner of society and revealed mysteries viewers were curious about.
Because of it Ji-eun left her childhood dream of being a journalist and joined as the program director.
The call had interrupted her sleep for a while.
She had another half hour to spare. Should she go back to sleep? Or should she get ready for work?
In such cases the answer was always in the middle.
Jiyeon lay in bed for a while, drifting between wakefulness and sleep.
She remembered Minho from the night before at the funeral home, then the day when his father and brother died at the same time.
There was no sign of strong emotions on his face.
She remembered when he ignored Ganghun and spoke to her instead.
He then said he would go the prosecutors' office after the funeral was over to reveal the killer.
From the moment they first met, Minho had always been enigmatic.
There were dangerous seeds that should not be kept in one's heart.
The red roots would creep in, the red stems spread out, and the flowers would bloom with colors that had never been seen before.
Jiyeon has reasons to be wary of him.
He spent an evening at a beach with her nine years ago,
Then he watched her for a year,
And he said he could see certain moments in the future.
He had the same motorcycle as the suspect,
Which was a rare model with only two hundred of them in Korea,
He knew who killed his brother,
And soon he would go to the prosecutors' office to reveal the criminal.
Seo Minho. Who on earth are you?
She wanted to know his identity as much as she wanted to know the killer.
