54. Duon Fifty One
Saturday after a week.
Yunseong Soft Office.
Incheol started explaining with a confident expression.
“When you start the program, you can choose to change your body shape first, and you can also set up curly hair as Jeongho said.”
In-cheol chose her childhood photo on the program, ＜None> for body changes and ＜No> for curly hair.
“If you click the OK button here, a picture of me as a child will appear.”
After a while, In-cheol’s childhood picture appeared on the monitor, and In-cheol moved his mouse and said.
“Since the human face is symmetrical, you only need to hold the right side of the screen for detailed settings.”
Yoon Seok-yi hyung said with a curious expression.
“How do you make detailed settings?”
Unlike Yoon Seok-i, who looked tense, In-cheol said with a relaxed expression.
“I will show you now. First select the eye, click the left border of the right eye first, and then click the right border point. If you just click like this, the boundary point coordinates will be entered automatically.”
Yoon Seok-yi hyung nodded, and In-cheol continued explaining.
“After that, it’s the same. Select the nose and click the center of the nostrils, and the lips are a bit complicated… First click on the upper border of the lip in the center of the face, then click on the lower border of the lip, and finally click on the right corner of the mouth.”
Incheol’s explanation continued.
Incheol moved the mouse to set the boundary between the forehead and the head, the boundary of the jaw line including the chin and the position of the ear, and the boundary between the pinna and the lobe.
“Now we are almost done. Click the OK button here, enter your age in the picture when you were young, and… .”
Incheol pressed the keyboard and entered 8 years old.
“Finally, just enter your current age.”
Incheol entered his current age of 16 and pressed the OK button.
After a while, the figure of Incheol created by the program appeared on the monitor.
“Wow!”
It was the exclamation that Yoon-seok hyung and I burst out at the same time.
It wasn’t that different from the current Incheol’s face.
In-cheol’s face on the monitor was almost identical to In-cheol’s now, except for the fact that his nose was a little more pointed and his skin color was a little brighter.
“hey! Isn’t this more handsome than the real thing?”
At my words, Incheol shook his head with a clever expression.
“No! The author was like that, my mom was like that, and she said that the real thing is much—a lot better.”
“men and horses! Look in the mirror and say that. It looks like a pig nose right now, but you have to have a conscience.”
“Because this isn’t a pig nose, it’s a Bokko. My aunt looked at the contemplation, and she said that this is a nose full of energy to save the country in the future.”
While they were fighting like this, Yoon Seok-yi hyung said:
“Incheol-ah, can you replay the program with the pictures in here?”
“sure! president.”
Incheol received a 3.5-inch diskette and put it in his computer, opened the folder and clicked the image file.
After a while, the moment a picture appeared on the monitor, In-cheol and I’s expressions hardened at the same time.
picture on the monitor.
It was a picture of Yun Seok-yi’s younger brother, who had died.
There was silence in the office.
In-cheol, with a serious expression, set the boundaries of the eyes, nose, lips, forehead, jawline, and ears, as he just said, and turned his head toward Yun-seok-hyung.
Yoon Seok-yi hyung still had his eyes fixed on the monitor with a tense expression.
“president?”
“yes? why?”
“here… I had to enter my age.”
“ah… ! six years old.”
In-cheol pressed the keyboard and entered 6, and Yoon-seok-hyung opened his mouth again.
“I will be 16 now.”
At my brother’s words, I let out a low sigh.
At 16, he’s the same age as me.
In-cheol also presses the keyboard with a firm expression to enter 16, and presses the run button.
After a while, a boy’s face appeared on the monitor screen, and Yoon Seok-yi hyung fixed his eyes on the monitor and didn’t say anything.
A long silence passed, and I grabbed Incheol’s arm and said,
“Hyung, I’ll go outside to get some air with In-cheol.”
So we went out of the office, and I said to Incheol.
“That picture… That’s Yoon-seok, the older brother you said back then, right?”
Incheol nodded and let out a long sigh.
“The boss is us… Is there something that you never miss and take you home?”
“yes.”
“I think it was because of the boss’s brother.”
“… !”
“I heard some phone calls with my family… I think my brother had an accident because of the boss.”
A long time ago, I vaguely guessed that Yoon Seok-hyung had a wound in his heart.
It seemed that he now knew what trauma Yoon Seok-hyung had.
I nodded my head without saying a word, and Incheol continued.
“From then on… If the boss says he’ll take you home, he doesn’t say anything, and yes, thank you.”
“I see… Now I have to stop complaining and be careful about what I say.”
After a moment of silence, I said to Incheol.
“By the way, you are really great.”
“what?”
“How do you complete an image conversion program and bring it back in a week?”
At my words, Incheol smiled and said.
“Actually, I haven’t done much.”
“… ?”
“Did you put something on that paper? I coded it that way. I’ll show you the source code later. When you see it, you will know right away, right?”
I nodded my head, and In-cheol smiled and continued.
“By the way, I don’t think it’s a mathematical pervert, did you organize everything that changes the shape of your face with a mathematical formula?”
However, the chin is extended, the nose is pointed, and the lips are thick. These changes in the face are expressed on the coordinates… .
If you don’t use formulas, is there any other way?
I shrugged and smiled without a word, and Incheol said to me.
“Well, it made coding so much easier thanks to that. haha!”
That evening.
Yoon Seok-yi hyung took us to the entrance of the apartment.
When I arrived at the entrance to the apartment, Yoon Seok-yi hyung told me.
“Jeong-ho, I won’t be in the office tomorrow.”
“really?”
Yoon Seok-yi hyung nodded and said.
“Today, I want to go home in Junggok-dong after a long time.”
“ah… ! Then, I will rest at home tomorrow.”
“And you two, thank you so much for today.”
Yoon-seok-hyung said thank you and pointed his finger at his bag.
There was a 3.5-inch diskette in the bag, and the diskette contained a picture of the younger brother predicted by In-cheol’s program.
Yoon Seok-yi hyung continued.
“I want to print this photo and go back to the police station.”
Yoon Seok-yi hyung’s words that he is going to the police station.
At this point, I just listened to my brother.
Yoon Seok-yi hyung headed to the subway station, and In-cheol and I returned to their respective homes.
“Mom, I’m here.”
“Did you finish early today?”
“Yes, it’s because Yunseok hyung is going home early.”
Mother said, checking her watch.
“Are you very hungry?”
“yes.”
“Because the bulgogi has been weighed, come wash up. Let’s have dinner.”
“Wow! Bulgogi!”
My mother smiled at my reaction and said,
“And then Daddy came. He brought a picture taken in Busan. I put the picture on your desk, so check it out.”
I didn’t even care about the photos I took in Busan.
At the thought of bulgogi, I went into the bathroom to take a shower.
After showering and having a full dinner, I went back to my room and laid down on my bed.
Only then did the words Yunseoki hyung said after breaking up came into my mind, and I started to worry about those words over and over again.
I know that Yoon Seok-yi’s younger brother is dead, but you go to the police station with a picture that predicts your current appearance?
why? What can the police station do with that picture?
Thoughts bit my tail, and in an instant I jumped out of bed.
Checking the clock on the wall, I went straight to the living room and picked up the phone.
In-cheol’s mother’s voice was heard along with the incoming sound.
-hello.
“Hello, Mrs. That’s Jeongho. Sorry for calling you so late.”
– It’s only 7 o’clock now, it’s okay. Wait a minute. Incheol will change it.
After a while, Incheol’s voice was heard.
-hello.
“In-cheol-ah, let me ask you something.”
-what! I thought you were the author? was it you
“I am not joking now. You said before that Yun-seok-yi’s older brother was dead, didn’t you? Are you sure about that?”
In response to my question, In-cheol said that he heard Yoon-seok-hyung’s phone call.
– I heard the boss talking about the death report with his family.
“What exactly did Yunseok-hyung say?”
-I don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes, and I’ve heard that six years have already passed since the death was reported.
The picture you entered into today’s missing child search program.
In the photo, the child was 6 years old.
And the number you entered as your current age is 16.
In other words, it means that 10-11 years have passed since the death of Yun Seok-yi’s younger brother.
If Yunseok’s younger brother wasn’t dead, but disappeared 10-11 years ago… .
The numbers Incheol said fit perfectly.
According to the law, if the missing person is not found, it is considered dead five years after the disappearance.
In other words, it means that the younger brother of Yoon Seok-yi, who disappeared 11 years ago, was legally disposed of as dead six years ago.

Not only that.
If Yoon Seok-yi’s younger brother died 6 years ago, today, Yoon Seok-yi hyung would have entered his younger brother’s picture from 6 years ago, not 11 years ago.
In addition, the reason why Yoon Seok-yi hyung is passionate about making a missing child program… All have been explained.
After finishing the call with Incheol, I went back to my room and laid down on the bed.
The face as a result of today’s missing child program.
The sharp eyes in the photo.
I saw clearly.
Where did you see it?
When did you see it?
If this feeling remains vivid… .
It’s definitely not something I’ve seen in a very long time.
I closed my eyes and started checking the images stored in my head.
How long has it been?
I opened my eyes in hunger and checked my watch.
10:30 p.m.
I went out to the kitchen, simply filled my stomach, returned to my room and sat down at my desk.
And the photo envelope lying on the corner of the desk caught my eye.
These photos were taken at Songjeong Beach in Busan.
I don’t like my awkwardly smiling face in the photo.
As I was flipping through the photos one by one… .
A picture of me reading a book at the guest house appeared, and I suddenly remembered the face of a boy my age I met at the guest house.
Curly hair.
sharp eyes.
The face of the child I saw at the guest house was similar to that of Incheol’s missing child program today.
Compared to the face I saw in the missing child program, the face of the child I remembered had a slightly lower nose and a slightly darker skin color.
The clock showed 10:55.
But I didn’t have time to think about it.
I went into the living room and picked up the phone.
I remembered the home phone number of Yun Seok-yi, which was written in the investment contract of Yun Sung Soft written a long time ago.
A middle-aged man’s voice was heard along with the ringtone.
-hello?
“I’m really sorry for being late. Is this Yunseok hyung’s house?”
– That’s right, what’s going on at this hour?
“It’s no different, I think I saw Yoon-Sung Cho a month ago.”
The sound of the other party collapsing over the receiver could be heard.
