All Chapters of Blossom Tears: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Then they waited for about a minute in silence. Soo Min and Hyun Woo were already near the door, ready to go out, and Hyun Sik leaned lightly against the largest table, gazing at the view through the window, and it was beautiful because it showed what was behind the house - a huge forest stretching very far. It looked like there was no wall on the back side, but a similar metal fence like at Choi's residence. Therefore, it did not block the view like the wall surrounding the front and sides of the house and the surrounding area. Finally, there was a knock on the door, and only then did Hyun Sik move.- You can come in.- he said, and then the door opened and the same security guard stood there, who brought detectives upstairs.- Jun Ho, take care of detective Kim and detective Jung.- Hyun Sik added, addressing the man.- Of course.- said the security guard and motioned both detectives to step out into the corridor.- Goodbye again.- Hyun Sik said at the end, then Soo Mi

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 and

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.

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

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
