“Testing. Testing.”At the sound of the emcee’s voice over the microphone, everyone turned at once. On a platform in the middle of the garden stood the emcee and the man they’d come to celebrate, Hospital Director Seo.Min-gyu stood at the back of the crowd and watched his father in silence. He was still as broad and sturdy as ever, the picture of good health.Director Seo’s father had been a prominent figure in the community. A gifted student, Seo had gone on to graduate from Seoul National University’s medical school. He’d then returned to his hometown and founded a large hospital to serve the people there.He was a source of pride to his family and to the entire community, which regarded him as a benefactor. The guests looked up at him with unmistakable respect.His eldest son, Min-seok, was the first to take the microphone and offer his birthday wishes. He spoke clearly and confidently, with just the right touch of humor.The guests applauded, and his father smiled at him.Someone

“Your taste in women, honestly…”It was the only way she could let slip how hurt she was by her son, after trying so hard to hide it.Only when Min-gyu’s expression hardened did she turn to leave.“I’ll be in touch. Pick up this time.”Min-gyu closed the door and turned to find Seo-wan standing there, her eyes bright.He rushed straight to her and wrapped his arms around her, as though seeking comfort in her embrace. He held her so tight she might break, as though he needed her to warm the cold inside his chest.“Oof… Min-gyu, I can’t breathe!”At her groan, he let her go.“Sorry.”She stood there looking so adorably bewildered that a laugh escaped him.“What?”“Nothing. What’d you bring?”“Dumplings. You know that famous dumpling shop across from police headquarters?”“You didn’t have to go to all that trouble. We could’ve just ordered something.”“You have to try these. Seriously!”Seo-wan washed her hands, took out a plate, and set it on the table. Min-gyu put the dumplings on it.

Min-gyu gave her no definite answer about attending.“We’ve just expanded the hospital, so we’re taking the opportunity to celebrate your father’s sixtieth birthday as well.”“I see.”“It’ll be at the new vacation house. It’s a big event. There’ll be people from political circles there, too. Your father says you’re to be there.”“Does it make any difference whether I go?”“Everyone in Chungcheong knows your father has three children. Are you going to make him lose face?”“All right. I’ll put in an appearance. Please don’t expect anything more.”She seemed to have expected that answer and pressed him no further.She took her time finishing her tea. In all that time, they never exchanged a friendly word.How was the hospital doing? Was he taking care of himself? Was he getting any exercise lately? Had he found a girlfriend? Small talk like that had never come easily to them.Her expression darkened as she set down her cup. She looked as though she had plenty to say, but all she let out w

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 lo

“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
