Seo-wan lifted her cup again. The tea had gone cold, and her words were gradually growing colder, too.

“How did your mother react?”

“My mother always says she’s staying neutral, so she says nothing. But in the end, she always takes my father’s side…”

“Are you in touch often?”

“Hardly ever. A message on KakaoTalk for holidays, birthdays—formal occasions like that. These days, they often leave even those on read.”

Seo-wan gave a sad smile. Min-gyu watched her silently for a while before speaking

    Embarrassed, Seo-wan tried to slip her hand out of Min-gyu’s, but he wouldn’t let her.Jin-woo had turned his gaze away from them. Min-gyu was the first to say goodbye to him.“Drive safely, Detective Kim. Oh, and please look after Seo-wan for me.”“Yeah, sure.”Jin-woo answered quietly without turning all the way around.“I’d better go.”Seo-wan tried once more to ease her hand free. Min-gyu tightened his grip one last time.“See you later.”The air was heavy on the drive to the station. Only the radio DJ’s voice filled the car.Jin-woo kept his eyes on the road, lost in thought.Seo-wan curled and uncurled her fingers in the awkward silence. Finally, she stole a glance at him and ventured to speak.“About Min-gyu. I meant to tell you…”“I guess it’s not always easy to tell someone.”“He was a witness in the case, after all. Dating him might make me look, well… unprofessional.”Seo-wan smiled awkwardly, watching for his reaction.“Especially to someone junior to me. I worried it migh

    “Let’s live our own lives! I’m sick of you and Mom! Please, just… let’s live our own lives. Please!”“You ungrateful bastard. I put you through college. I paid your living expenses and even gave you spending money. How can you do this to me? How could you?”“I don’t have any money either. I only just made assistant manager. We’ve got a mortgage, living expenses, car payments! I’m barely getting by myself!”“Did I ask for your whole paycheck? All I’m asking for is a little drinking money. Is that so hard? You think I had money to spare when I was keeping you fed?”“What do you know about working in an office? You made easy money.”“Yeah! It was easy money. I sold my body to men. That’s what paid for your college. That’s what put food in your mouth!”“Will you keep your voice down? Have you got no shame?”Yu-seok caught sight of his stunned wife and clamped a hand over Yu-jin’s mouth. She tore it away.“Are you ashamed of me? Then what about you? You went to college on that money, and l

    “Then we should treat your statement as based on what you remember, Doctor.”Min-gyu shrugged.“I suppose you could put it that way.”“Then why come forward now?”There was an edge to Jin-woo’s voice, but Min-gyu answered casually.“Because it’s been too long. I thought you’d find her quickly. Korean detectives are good at what they do, aren’t they?”Jin-woo’s expression didn’t change at the compliment, leaving Seo-wan to sit through the tension between them.“It’s bothered me that one of my patients has been missing for so long. I gave it some thought and got in touch in case I could help, even a little.”“Did you ever tell Seo-wan anything else about the case?”Seo-wan broke the uncomfortable silence.“Hardly anything. I took his statement about Kim Yu-jin when we first met. He hasn’t said much about her since.”“The same goes for Seo-wan. When it was just the two of us, she never asked about the case.”Min-gyu met Seo-wan’s eyes and smiled softly, affection plain in his gaze.“I se

    The receptionist and the nurse spotted Seo-wan and greeted her warmly.“Oh, Detective Choi! Good to see you.”“Hello. Is he still seeing patients?”“He’s finished with all his appointments for the day. The director told us to head home before him.”“I see.”“Are you two going on a date?”“No. Another detective will be here in a minute. Could you show him in when he arrives?”Seo-wan gave them a quick nod and headed for the consulting room.The door stood ajar. Bright light spilled into the hallway, as though the room were always ready to welcome her. Seo-wan eased the door open and looked for Min-gyu.“Min-gyu?”A cabinet clicked shut, and he came into view.“You’re here.”To her relief, he was smiling.“I’m sorry about yesterday. Everything got so hectic that I never got in touch.”“It’s okay. Work gets like that sometimes. Especially for you, Detective.”He grinned at her. The smile put her at ease, and as she came closer, he opened his arms.Seo-wan hurried around the desk and into

    “Hello. Detective Choi Seo-wan, Major Crimes Unit.”There was a brief silence on the other end, then the sound of someone taking a breath.-“Ah, I…”“Go ahead,” Seo-wan said, her voice low and calm.-“Um, you gave me your card yesterday…”“Ah, yes. I’ve been waiting for your call.”-“There’s something I need to tell you.”Seo-wan nodded to Jin-woo and started to rise. He leaned in close to her phone to listen.“We’re near the spot where we met yesterday. We can come to you.”-“No! No, let’s just… let’s do this over the phone.”The man sounded alarmed at the suggestion.“All right. Whatever you’re comfortable with.”-“That woman…”“Do you know Kim Yu-jin?”-“I don’t know her as Kim Yu-jin. I know her as Sera.”“Sera?”-“There’s a little bar called Drama tucked away in the residential part of Samjeon-dong. She works there.”“Have you seen her recently?”-“No. I saw her a few months ago, but I haven’t been back since.”“I see. Did you notice anything unusual before she disappeared? Anyth

    Starting where Kim Yu-jin had gotten off the intercity bus, they followed her trail into the surrounding residential streets. They worked their way deep into the neighborhood on foot, but nothing new turned up.“Man… we’re getting nowhere.”Seo-wan and Jin-woo stepped out of the convenience store and sat side by side on the chairs out front.“If she’s alive, shouldn’t she at least call her family? Why would she go into hiding?”“Hard to say. She might not even know she’s been reported missing. Either way, this is more than a straightforward missing-person case.”“There’s no sign of her past that alley we checked.”“That suggests she went somewhere near that last convenience store. Chances are that’s where she’s staying.”“But the address we have for her isn’t anywhere near here.”“She might have moved without registering her new address. Anyway, I don’t think the security footage is going to get us any further. Let’s start asking around.”They headed for a small grocery store in the n
