88 – Dongmin Lee (23)
Dongmin Lee (23)
An Avant ran down the road.
“There is a bruise around it.”
It hasn’t been long since I started driving, but Baek Yu-ram said while holding the steering wheel quite skillfully.
“I will. I wonder if Hyejeong will be okay?”
Park Se-young said from the passenger seat.
She calmly fastened her seat belt.
“Should I buy something in front of me?”
“………”
Baek Yu-ram gently turned her steering wheel.
The navigation system was giving the location of the university hospital where Kim Hye-jung’s sister was hospitalized.
Hwang Ji-young and Kim Yoon-a, who I saw through the rearview mirror, were also talking about something with gloomy expressions.
“Seriously, at this point, there might be a problem with the people involved in 『Kang Hae-rin’s Murder Diary』.”
“There’s no way that could be-“
Park Se-young said to Baek Yu-ram, who mumbled.
“Dongmin is doing well?”
Baek Yoo-ram asked without asking anyone.
But no one answered.
Lee Dong-min, a ghost member of the web novel club ‘The Possessors’ and a student on leave, was almost out of touch.
There’s no reason why you can’t do it if you want to, but there are things you don’t do on purpose because of his girlfriend’s notice.
“………”
Perhaps it was the same idea, Park Se-young’s eyebrows furrowed.
She didn’t like Kang Hae-rin very much.
She was, of course, she did not hate people themselves, but somehow the relationship between the two was questionable.
She is not more interested in Lee Dong-min’s earnest request, but in her opinion, Kang Hae-rin was most likely Lee Dong-min’s stalker fan.
It’s also a very solid concept.
Not only does it look surprisingly similar to Haerin Kang in 『Journal』, But even the car is a red Mercedes.
Even the ability to imitate vocal chords was similar.
Park Se-young looked out of her car window.
Clouds obscured the sun, making the background gloomy.
When she was with Baek Yu-ram, to her surprise, she heard the same voice as Baek Yu-ram.
I didn’t know it at the time, but Park Se-young assumed that it was Kang Hae-rin, as long as it wasn’t a ghost that imitated that voice.
The decisive evidence came from Kim Hye-jung.
‘Haerin says he can imitate his voice to catch Ban Yi-jae. I’ve never seen it myself, but they say that if you have the data, you can postpone it and bring it back.’
When Ban Yi-jae from the Department of Theater and Film was arrested for hidden camera crime and murder, Lee Dong-min and Kang Hae-rin were there.
‘Then I got stabbed.’
I remembered Lee Dong-min being in the hospital.
There was a not small penetrating wound on his palm.
As he said, he said he happened to pass by the place and got caught up in it, but that couldn’t be the case.
‘Then why?’
When her thoughts reached this point, Park Se-young felt a sense of incongruity.
Until now, I thought Kang Hae-rin was a psychopathic criminal who was crazy about the author’s work and integrated with the character, like Stephen King’s ‘Misery’, but-
No matter how realistically, it is unreasonable.
Skin like a luxurious porcelain doll, and a mysterious appearance that looks like half Slavic and half Asian blood.
In his early twenties, he had the wealth to attract Mercedes.
Unbelievable acting skills and vocal imitation skills.
All of them were Kang Haerin in 『Journal』.
Can you do that with ‘practice’?
You can imitate the ‘red eye’ with circle lenses, but-
No, actually, not even that.
There is a clear difference between simply having red pupils and occasionally shooting emotion-filled eyes.
Certainly, is Lee Dong-min that stupid?
Does it make sense to give her a sum and even live with her because she is afraid of a stalker?
What the hell did he see in her?
It’s been several weeks since I lost contact with Lee Dong-min, but she still couldn’t shake her thoughts.
It seemed that she had something left to do for him.
The news was playing on the radio.
[… The current suspect is being pointed out as one of the gangs who supplied drugs in the ‘cool-moon club’ case, which caused a lot of controversy in the past. Mr. Park has been sentenced to two years in prison-]
[… The police were able to identify the suspect quickly, and because they were able to provide first aid and protect the victim urgently, the detectives who were at the scene at the time-]
Baek Yoo-ram looked at the room mirror.
Hwang Ji-young and Kim Yoon-a, who normally matched their pairs and chatted to liven up the atmosphere, were too quiet.
Of course, it’s not a good thing, and since it’s going to the hospital, there’s no need to be excited, but even considering that.
“Isn’t this too self-praise?”
Baek Yoo-ram spoke to the announcer.
“If I had known something, I should have stopped it long ago. You got hit while waiting without tension.”
“It’s so easy to say…”
Park Se-young dissuaded her.
“Did you miss it on purpose because it was the police? According to the news, he was a very big man. The detective at the scene even suffered a fracture.”
“No matter what.”
Baek Yoo-ram said dissatisfiedly.
“By the way, don’t you feel a sense of deja vu?”
When I was caught at a traffic light, Park Se-young said.
“What?”
Baek Yu-ram asks a question.
“…I think I saw this kind of flow somewhere.”
“As Tolstoy said. Happiness is all similar, but unhappiness is different for different reasons. Maybe it’s the same with crime. As if one of the most common reasons for murder is infatuation.”
“Um…”
Unlike Baek Yu-ram, who carelessly touched her steering wheel with his finger and spoke, Park Se-young was lost in her thoughts.
Her gaze moved to the seat behind her.
Flinch.
By the way, Jiyoung Hwang and Yuna Kim shook their shoulders.
“Why is that?”
“What, what?”
“………”
Park Se-young narrowed her eyes.
Hwang Ji-young and Kim Yoon-ah did not make eye contact with her and exchanged unknown glances between themselves.
“… That sounds suspicious.”
“……”
Avant parked in front of the hospital.
Four people got off one after another and entered the hospital.
I got into the elevator.
After feeling a bit weightless, he headed to the hospital room.
Baek Yoo-ram, who was about to open the hospital room door, hesitated.
Because voices came from inside.
She did not know that she would hear intense emotions that are difficult to hear even in a normal hospital room, but in an intensive care unit.
Of course, it was short-lived.
I heard footsteps.
Before the Baekyu-rams could even retreat, two men appeared from inside with a loud gasp.
Both looked young: a man with yellow dye and brown skin and a tattoo on his neck.
At most mid-twenties.
It was clear they were just furious.
It didn’t look particularly good, but the impression of being stubborn seemed to be that of a peer.
But not with Wenchang.
Both Baek Yoo-ram and Park Se-young had never seen men like that, and they didn’t think they fit well with the docile or shady images of students and students.
Prejudice is prejudice, but I didn’t even look like a college student.
They looked at Baek Yu-ram and Park Se-young with displeasure, looking up and down, then passed by.
Although it was only for a short while, the cigarette smoke was acrid.
“Sister-“
Kim Hye-jung, who was sitting next to Kim Hye-eun with a depressed expression, ran to them and grabbed her hand.
“Thank you for coming.”
She burst into tears, and her eldest sister Baek Yu-ram held Kim Hye-jung’s head and patted her lightly.
After words of consolation came and went, Park Se-young asked.
“Who was there earlier?”
“Ah, they are your friends.”
Hyejeong Kim said awkwardly.
“The older brothers she knew when she was in high school. My sister is like this… She came to visit me.”
“It sounded loud.”
Baek Yoo-ram said.
“… It’s not something I would say to people I don’t know, but I don’t think it’s okay to shout loudly in front of Hyeeun.”
“… It’s okay. Sister. It’s because the older brothers are also angry. And, it’s more likely because one of them is someone she dated in high school with her older sister.”
“Ah.”
Baek Yoo-ram agreed.
It wouldn’t be strange if her ex-girlfriend had an accident and was left in a coma.
Even so, screaming in the hospital room didn’t look very good.
What made you angry?
That curiosity aroused, but she didn’t say anything.
She came to visit the hospital, didn’t she come to satisfy her curiosity?
“By any chance, what is your name?”
Then, Yuna Kim opened her mouth.
“Hey.”
Hwang Ji-young slapped her on the arm, but as if she was also curious, she looked at Kim Hye-jung nervously.
“Huh?”
Kim Hye-jeong made a puzzled expression.
“Hey, you…”
The curious Park Se-young also kept her mouth shut, but Baek Yu-ram looked at her juniors in amazement.
Are you interested?
From noble mtl dot com
In the middle of this?
No matter how immature you are, even when you like someone right away, it’s an act that doesn’t cover the situation too much.
When Baek Yoo-ram was about to say something, Kim Hye-jung said.
“Seo In-woo, Nam Jae-chan. Why? Anyone know?”
“Oops.”
Hwang Ji-young and Kim Yoon-ah inhaled at the same time.
They looked at each other and exchanged glances as if they had learned something that only the other knew.
“Why is that?”
Baek Yoo-ram, who felt uncomfortable with the fuss of his juniors, said sternly.
“What are you doing after visiting the hospital?”
“… I’m sorry. Senior.”
The two immediately apologized.
Baek Yu-ram turned her head.
Her gaze turned to her bed.
Kim Hye-eun is relying on an oxygen respirator.
I don’t know her personally, but she was sad that she and a woman of her age had to go through this.
She was alerted to the fact that Baek Yoo-ram herself had met sh*t tea several times, especially in the case of her recent Song Yeon-wu.
The thrill and fear that it might have been herself lying there passed through her whole body.
Song Yeon-woo has been friends with the psychopath Ban Lee-jae for a long time, so it’s not too much.
She thought of Lee Dong-min again.
Because it was he who helped her twice.
For this woman, if she had a presence like Lee Dong-min, she would not have such misfortune, she thought for a moment.

“Why did you do that?”
On the way back, Baek Yoo-ram spoke in the car.
“It’s not polite. No matter how well Hye-jeong listens to people, does she reveal the man there?”
“Senior-!”
Hwang Ji-young and Kim Yoon-a shouted in astonishment.
“What South American birds are we? I’m not crazy about men, what kind of men should I reveal!”
“You have to be someone like senior Dongmin to fall in love at first sight, because your eyes aren’t that low?!”
“… Isn’t it? Then why did you ask for my name?”
Park Se-young also looked back curiously.
“Seo In-woo, Nam Jae-chan. Why?”
“You two don’t know.”
“Don’t talk back.”
“Senior and Seyoung both hid from us that Dongmin was the writer of 『Journal』, But since we are honest, we will tell you everything.”
“What is it, keep the form like that.”
Baek Yu-ram said cynically.
“If it doesn’t surprise you, let me get off here.”
Because the two of them always reacted by lowering their tails to such remarks that seemed to put pressure on them, Baek Yoo-ram either spoke in a relaxed manner, or today was different from usual.
“Don’t hit the brakes suddenly, senior.”
“………”
“Seo In-woo, where have you not heard of it?”
“… I don’t know. Is it a celebrity name?”
“Seo In-hwan. Even like this?”
“… What?”
“How about this? Nam Hee-chan.”
“…Do you play renaming?”
Seo In-woo, Seo In-hwan.
Nam Jae-chan, Nam Hee-chan.
It was only changed one letter at a time.
Hwang Ji-young said as if he was frustrated.
“It appears in 『Journal』! In the Park Sang-soo episode-!”
“… What are you talking about?”
Baek Yoo-ram looked at Park Se-young.
As if to say something.
“………”
But Park Se-young was lost in thought.
“… Park Sang-soo, Park Sang-woo…”
“Right!?”
Yoona Kim shouted.
“…But, could it be a coincidence? And, it’s just similar, but the names are different after all.”
“Do you think it is a coincidence that only one letter is different? Look at what happened to Hyejeong’s sister. The episodes are the same. Even a police raid.”
“…Guys, I think you’re mistaken about something.”
Park Se-young said awkwardly.
“There is no episode where the police are raided. It was clear that drug dealer Park Sang-soo misunderstood and killed his girlfriend with another man, but Hye-jeong and her older sister are not dead, and there are no scenes with the police.”
Park Se-young said that even though she was in charge of the department, she was good at managing her grades, so she took first place in the first semester.
She has a habit of reading the text meticulously as much as she does, so she knows her insides as well as her web novels.
The contents of 『Journal』 Were also the same.
“Sure. There is no scene like that.”
Park Se-young opened the platform with her phone.
I searched for early episodes on novel serial sites, but there was little similarity.
The realization of the novel.
It was an interesting story, but it is a setting that would only work in a fantasy novel.
“No. Look at this.”
Hwang Ji-young held out her phone.
It was an episode of Park Sang-soo.
However, the format of the viewer was different.
It was clear that it was not a novel that was officially serialized on the platform, but a text that someone had scraped.
Park Se-young frowned.
“You are-“
“That’s not important-“
Hwang Ji-young said urgently.
“I am not Park Sang-soo. It’s Park Sang-woo.”
Park Se-young took her phone while holding a long game.
She went down and she read the contents.
[… Park Sang-woo.
He nodded his head as he took off his trademark skull mask.
“f*ck things.”
A heavy voice came out of his mouth.
…
He hit the desk with his finger.
What Park Sang-woo was looking at was a tablet PC.
The inside of a house was displayed on the screen.
“You didn’t pretend to be expensive these days, but you were holding a pillar Seobang?”
The corners of Park Sang-woo’s mouth went up crookedly.]
Hwang Ji-young said as if she was afraid.
“I know you don’t believe it. But what is the original?”
