Chapter 23 - Hyun Woo's Past
During the meal Soo Min got to know quite a lot about Hyun Woo's family. His father, Jung Hyun Jun, was an officer in The Combat Police division of the Seoul Police Agency, and when Hyun Woo was only 10 years old, he died in action during one of the more violent riots, being only 35 years old. Since then Mrs Yoon raised her son alone with the help of her's and husband's family. She also got compensation from the police and with that money she opened a small restaurant. However, when Hyun Woo graduated from Police Academy and started working at the Gwangju police station, Mrs Yoon handed the restaurant over to her sister's daughter. She only dealt with restaurant finances and orders of products needed for cooking now.
Hyun Woo, just like Soo Min, didn't have any siblings, but was so popular at school that he didn't need any. However, Hyun Woo wasn't popular because of his appearance, but mainly because he has always been very empathetic towards people. He was ready to listen andRelated chapters
Blossom Tears Chapter 24 - Coming Back Home
When Hyun Woo finished helping his mother, then along with Soo Min said goodbye and left the apartment. Then they took the elevator down, left the apartment block, headed for the parking lot and got into the car. Of course, this time Soo Min took the driver's place again and Hyun Woo the passenger's seat. They fastened their seat belts and Soo Min started off the car park onto the street leading to the exit from Gwangju, towards Seoul. It was already getting dark, so they probably won't be able to do anything more today than taking the car to the parking lot at the police station and writing down a report about the conversations they had today.- Hyun Woo.- Soo Min said when they stood at the traffic light.- Yes, sunbae?- he asked, directing all his attention from the view outside the window at her.- I think we should add Ye Eun's brother to the list of suspects.- she announced, causing a shock on her partner's face.- I don't understand, sunbae... Why?- asked
Blossom Tears Chapter 25 - The Change
The next day, on Saturday, the entire Violent Crime Section met in a restaurant run by the wife of officer Kim. Soo Min, since she already knew the address where Hyun Woo lived, decided to pick him up on her way and drive to the restaurant. By the time they arrived to the place, Jung Mo stood outside smoking a cigarette. Han Eul, Dae Shim and Joo Chan were already inside the restaurant, sitting at one of the tables located by the window, that's why they were clearly seen.- Hyun Woo hyung.- Jung Mo's face brightened, seeing him.- Sunbae.- then he bowed to Soo Min, which slightly surprised her. It was rare for Jung Mo to be so kind to her, but maybe because Joo Chan was usually with him.- Hi, Jung Mo.- Hyun Woo replied, smiling brightly.- Hello.- said Soo Min, looking at Jung Mo and even gave him a gentle smile.- Is everyone present?- she asked.- Basically yes. Only Sang Kyu is not here yet, but he called officer Kim and informed that he would be a little late.
Blossom Tears Chapter 26 - Officer Kim
(*Hoobae - younger colleague in school/work.**Soju - korean alcohol, similar to vodka.)- Officer Kim. It's so nice to see you, sunbae-nim.- Soo Min smiled brightly as he came closer. They hugged each other slightly, then she used hands to point on her partner standing nearby.- This is Jung Hyun Woo, the new detective I told you about, officer Kim.- she introduced him.- Hello, sunbae-nim.- Hyun Woo said with due respect and even saluted, making officer Kim laugh slightly.- Good good. You don't have to say hello to me with that much respect.- the man said after a moment.- Call me officer Kim, that's all I need.- he added, patting him lightly on the shoulder.- Okay, officer Kim.- Hyun Woo corrected himself immediately, smiling broadly.- I've heard a lot about you. And I'm not just talking about what they said on television.- replied officer Kim.- Soo Min also told me a bit when she called me. And
Blossom Tears Chapter 27 - New Side Of Her
When the small farewell party for officer Kim was over, Soo Min again offered to take Hyun Woo home, when they left the restaurant and were in the parking lot.- Sunbae, I'm afraid we have to take a taxi or a bus.- Hyun Woo told her. They both drank alcohol, Soo Min even more than he did, so driving the car by themselves was not an option.- But I have a car...- Soo Min said, swaying slightly sideways, waving the keys right in front of his eyes.- I know, but we both drank alcohol. Don't you think it would be bad for a couple of detectives to be caught by traffic police for driving under the influence?- Hyun Woo explained, then grabbed the keys and put them back into her purse.- The couple...- said Soo Min, laughing like a teenage girl.- Do you like me so much, Hyun Woo?- she asked flirtatiously, looking at him.- Do you like this noona?- she added after a moment, pointing at herself.Hyun Woo had to admit that Soo Min looked really cute, quite different tha
Blossom Tears Chapter 28 - Regrets
(*KakaoTalk - application very popular in South Korea, used to communicate.)On Sunday Soo Min woke up with a huge headache thanks to which she immediately knew that had drunk a few glasses of soju too much yesterday. Soo Min didn't remember much of the evening, especially coming back home, but she hoped that didn't do or say anything stupid. While being in the living room, with a glass of water, sipping a bit to make swallowing of a pill for a headache easier, she received a text message. Soo Min put the glass down on the low table standing by the couch and in exchange lifted her phone from the counter and unlocked the screen, checking the content and who the message was from. It turned out that Hyun Woo wrote to her on KakaoTalk*."Sunbae. Yesterday you drank a little too much, I was a bit drunk too, so we got home by bus, since I haven't got enough money for taxi, and I didn't want to get through your purse. Then I escorted you to the door an
Blossom Tears Chapter 29 - Back To Work
Min Hye Sun from Cyber Security Division, Digital Forensic Section, came a little later, also bringing printouts of messages found on the Ye Eun's phone and email inbox. In addition, she informed that was unable to see on camera recordings nothing more than what was already known before, that is, the car is gray, with tinted windows. The only novelty was that, according to her, the car brand is probably KIA Joice, manufactured between 2000 and 2001, and therefore quite an old car.- My dad has been driving this car for over 10 years, which is why I remember very well how it looks like.- Hye Sun explained, leaning a bit on the Hyun Woo's desk.- Of course, the one that can be seen on the recordings looks like it was slightly modified, especially because of those tinted windows and the lack of a roof rack.- she continued, showing them the best photo of the car that she managed to take from the recordings, comparing it with the clear photo of the KIA Joice model.- Also, this shade
Blossom Tears Chapter 30 - Unexpected Confession
(**Dongsaeng - literally a younger brother or sister; used also towards younger friends.)When the afternoon passed, Soo Min went to the social room to make coffee. From browsing, reading, comparing and searching for clues, her eyes ached and she felt dizzy. When she put instant coffee into the paper cup and turned on the electric kettle, Joo Chan entered the room. Seeing Soo Min, he was about to step back.- Don't be silly, come in.- Soo Min said to him.- I won't eat you, I promise.- she added with a slight amusement.- You know... After what Hyun Woo and officer Kim said... I thought a lot about how me and others treated you so far.- Joo Chan said a little shy, which really did not suit him at all. That's why Soo Min gave him a surprised and slightly suspicious look.- Are you serious?- she asked incredulously at what she heard.- I speak as seriously as never in my life.- Joo Chan assured, leaning lightly on the counter.- Liste
Blossom Tears Chapter 31 - Cherry Blossom Beauty
Soo Min returned to the office, immediately sitting at her desk.- Are you sure you don't want some coffee?- she asked to Hyun Woo, who was doing something with extreme concentration on the computer.- No thanks, sunbae.- confirmed Hyun Woo.- I just sent a question to technicians to find and make a list of people who bought KIA Joice car recently or had one.- he explained, finally looking at her.- It will take a while to find everyone, but at the end, these cars are no longer produced, so it will make the task a bit easier.- he added with a smile.- That's great.- stated Soo Min.- I am increasingly impressed, Hyun Woo. Especially when it comes to your commitment and independence in action. It's great that I don't have to point you everything with a finger.- she admitted with a smile.- Well, it was thanks to this independence in action that I solved that case in Gwangju. I wasn't even really assigned to it, I was only helping detectives with their activities.- ex
