Episode 28
The journey to our destination was not too difficult thanks to the blowing snowstorm.
But unlike other places, Building 902 had two soldiers guarding the main gate.
In addition, there was even the sound of people periodically patrolling the back and sides of the building.
For a campus with a severe shortage of staff, security is definitely tight.
Of course, there was a way to get in, so I quietly called Coco.
“Huh? What’s with the puppy?”
“It’s like someone’s raised a dog.”
Coco, appearing with an innocent look, appeared in front of the soldiers who were on duty for a long time.
And with its cute and adorable appearance, it wagged its tail and showed off all sorts of charms.
“Whoohoohoo, come here.”
“Do dogs actually eat sausages?”
A cute puppy that appeared during boring border guard duty was enough to steal the soldiers’ attention.
We didn’t miss that short gap and quickly jumped over the wall and ran to the back of the building.
‘Tread on it.’
As I make a stepping stone by sticking to the outer wall of the building, Jin-kyung Kim quickly jumps upward.
She went up to the second floor in an instant, and as if she had been waiting, she held out her hand and pulled me up.
We infiltrated the building in just 30 seconds and looked around while crouching down.
The second floor was deserted.
The building had a chilly atmosphere all around, as if the heating had been turned off.
‘Over there.’
After confirming that no one was there, we split up and started searching the building.
The second floor, which was used as a classroom, had long desks and chairs piled high in each room.
The only other unusual thing was the pile of cardboard boxes filled with various odds and ends.
This place is just for storage.
After searching the second floor for a while, Jin-kyung Kim and I decided to go up to the next floor right away.
‘fizzle!’
But at that moment, two women who appeared to be civilians were coming down the stairs.
We almost had our identities discovered, so we barely managed to hide in a narrow space behind the emergency exit.
“Are those guys still like that?”
“Ugh, now you don’t even want to drink water.”
“Oh my! Why on earth do you guys do that?”
“Should I put something for you to eat later? He’s the exact same age as my son. It’s sad to see him.”
“Come on. Then Sergeant Park will start causing trouble again.”
The women were each holding a warm water jug with steam rising from it.
Judging from the conversation, it seems like they are giving drinking water to those who are trapped.
The two ladies, feeling sorry, went downstairs carrying the water jug that was gradually cooling down.
Only then did Jin-kyung Kim and I escape through the gap in the emergency exit and go straight up to the third floor.
‘think.’
The third floor was different from the messy second floor in that all the desks and chairs were neatly cleared away.
And judging by the fact that all the classroom doors were locked, this was definitely a detention center.
Without saying who would go first, we split up and started looking for our companions.
‘Lunchtime.’
‘Lee Hyun-soo.’
These are the two people who have followed me around all this time, breaking things, falling down, and going through all kinds of hardships.
Even if it was a relationship for cooperation, the bond of togetherness through life and death did not disappear.
Even as I searched the third floor diligently, I couldn’t hide the increasing impatience.
“Mr. Daesu.”
But at that moment, Kim Jin-kyung lowered her voice and hurriedly gestured for me to come over.
As I followed her into the room, I saw someone wearing familiar clothes lying there as if dead.
This is Private First Class Oh Chan-il and Private First Class Lee Hyeon-su.
The two, with their hands tied, were enduring the cold weather by relying on each other’s body heat.
“Step back.”
I took a thick cloth out of my bag, wrapped it around the buttstock, and struck the glass with all my might.
Plop!
Then, he put his hand inside, opened the door, and went inside with Kim Jin-kyung.
The two of them were so tired that they fell asleep without even realizing we had arrived.
“… … These fucking dogs.”
Kim Jin-kyung, who first checked the physical condition of the two people, clenched her teeth.
That would be the case, as both Oh Chan-il and Lee Hyeon-su showed clear signs of having been lynched.
Especially on lunch days, the wounds on his back and face were particularly bad, as if he had been hit instead.
“Both of you, stand up.”
“Sister Jin-kyung?”
“Shhh! First, give me your hand.”
I first comforted Private Lee Hyeon-su, who had just woken up, and untied the tie on his hand.
The strings had been tied so tightly that both of them had dark bruises on their wrists.
“… … Brother, brother.”
Then, Private Oh Chan-il opened his eyes and his voice trembled with a look of disbelief on his face.
Did he feel relieved when he saw my face?
The two of them, overcome with sorrow, began to cry without saying a word.
“Why did you do that so foolishly?”
“Ugh, ugh! I’m so sorry.”
My good friends who were so guilty of having to leave me behind that they couldn’t do anything.
On top of that, he was dragged here under the pretext of desertion, so he couldn’t have been of sound mind.
“Let’s go out for now.”
But now, the situation was not relaxed enough to happily greet each other.
Jin-kyung Kim and I carried each person on our backs and tried to quickly leave the building.
“What, the ladies left the door open?”
“Huh? What? That can’t be.”
But at that moment, the soldiers who had been patrolling on the first floor had already come up to the third floor.
They looked puzzled by the open door and tried to come into the room we were in.
widely!
My body reacted before my head.
I quickly ran forward and grabbed the neck of the soldier coming in front of me.
“Ugh!”
After blocking the airway to prevent screaming, the victim is knocked out painlessly.
“Wh, what!”
Surprised by this, one of them aimed his gun at me and tried to pull the trigger.
widely!
But I had already pulled the trigger and grabbed the gun from him so he couldn’t pull it.
At the same time, he knocked the soldier unconscious with a short blow to the jaw and safely laid him down.
I felt a sense of exhilaration, having compressed this entire process into just 15 seconds.
“Did you kill him?”
“I knocked him out.”
They were both lightly knocked unconscious, so as to ensure that their lives were not in danger.
He also showed that he had no intention of stealing the gun by leaving it behind.
But I ended up attacking a soldier and crossing a line that shouldn’t have been crossed.
Now it was time to take responsibility for our actions.
“Let’s go.”
The group nodded with determined expressions and followed me as I walked ahead.
* * *
The campus surprisingly had a well-established alarm system, and the soldiers responded very quickly.
Because of that, we had to quickly hide ourselves before even reaching the business school building.
It’s a good thing the blizzard was blowing hard, otherwise I would have really been caught.
“Are you both okay?”
“No problem.”
“It hurts a little, but it’s okay.”
When asked if he was okay, Private Oh Chan-il nodded, blowing the remaining blood from his nose.
Private Lee Hyeon-su also clenched his fist and patted his leg as if to say that he was okay.
“But what if my weapon is taken away?”
“Don’t worry about it, you can get it again.”
Both rifles and the crossbow they were carrying at the time were confiscated.
But now, he asked them not to worry about such things because safety is more important.
Take a slow breath.
We had been running breathlessly this far and were looking for a chance to escape from the bushes again.
Hehe!
Coco, who had been sniffing around, emerges from the bushes and starts running again.
We followed closely behind, looking up at our destination which was slowly getting closer.
In the distance, building 58, which had the words “Business School” written on it, was shining brightly in the snowstorm.
“The lights are on.”
The building was brightly lit despite the early morning, indicating that students were living there.
Judging by the hustle and bustle, it seems they heard the alarm a little while ago.
I straightened my clothes and handed over the gun and bag I was holding to my companions.
“Please wait here for a moment.”
“Are you going alone?”
“Yes, I will go and come back shortly.”
If you rush out in a group with your friends, you may be treated with caution and suspicion.
Right now, it would have been better to go alone and check if Yebin was there or not before leaving.
I emerged from the bushes where I was hiding and entered the business school building naturally.
“What’s going on all of a sudden?”
“I don’t know the details either. Don’t go out and tell the kids to go back to their dorms.”
Early in the morning, students preparing to go out were in an uproar at the sudden commotion.
I naturally immersed myself in the chaotic atmosphere and checked the students’ faces.
It seems that the situation is no different for business schools, which are all dark and shabby.
I walked around the first floor diligently, desperately looking for Yebin who must be somewhere.
“Everyone, get up now! Quickly! Stay in your room until the next broadcast!”
But at that moment, a male student who appeared to be an upperclassman led everyone gathered on the first floor upstairs.
I accidentally got caught up in the crowd and quickly pulled my hat down on and sneaked out.
Chiik.
[Are we there yet?]
“Now it’s the second floor’s turn.”
[Hurry up. The atmosphere is tense.]
The snowstorm that had been blowing fiercely was gradually subsiding as the sun rose.
I told Kim Jin-kyung that I would go right away and then belatedly went up the stairs to the second floor.
I feel strangely out of breath.
My head was spinning thinking that Yebin might be here right now.
What should I say when I first meet someone? Shouldn’t I first apologize?
Even though my body was busy moving, my head could only think of that random thought.
“Let me talk to you for a minute.”
But at that moment, a man’s voice from just above my head broke my thoughts.
“I have nothing to say.”
“Let’s just talk for a minute!”
As luck would have it, a young man and woman were talking at the emergency exit on the second floor where I was about to go up.
Is this a lover’s quarrel? Suddenly, my path was blocked, so I frowned and backed away.
No, I tried to back off.
“What on earth are you so unhappy about? Don’t you know how much I’m having a hard time because of you?”
“Speak straight, Oppa. Did I ask you for help? You just changed the list on your own. You don’t think I don’t know, do you?”
“I told you there was a reason for everything.”
“Lies again! How long are you going to keep lying? If we’re going to do this, let’s just stop meeting.”
“Yebin!”
But at that moment, an unbelievable name burst out from the mouth of a man who did not know this.
I froze in that position, trying to go somewhere else, and could barely turn my head.
“Why are you like that!”
“Why on earth are you doing this, Oppa! I’m fine! I’ll just stay here with the kids! Just keep living your cool life!”
“hey!”
Eventually, the man, unable to control his anger, forcibly grabbed her arm and raised her hand.
The woman, who had not expected him to hit her, instinctively screamed and crouched.
At that moment, a familiar face passed by.
It was exactly like the face in the photo.
It’s Yebin.
‘uncle?’
‘uncle!’
‘uncle.’
Countless memories of the past began to pass quickly before my eyes, forming a panorama.
How could I forget?
The little baby in his sister’s arms. My nephew, wearing his school uniform, approaching me timidly.
The sister’s alter ego, born in love, was now a respectable lady living in this world.
bang!
Your vision narrows and your hair turns white.
At the same time, no sound was heard.
When I came to, I was holding the man’s head and arms and pushing him against the wall.
“Ahhhh!”
Hot anger pours down like sugar syrup on top of the strangely cold reason.
Even though I knew that I shouldn’t be like this, I was still expressing emotions coated with murderous intent.
“Gyaaaah! Oppa!”
Then, Yebin, who was surprised, hurriedly tried to grab his arm to stop him.
But that was only for a moment, as soon as he saw my face, his whole body froze.
“……uncle?”
My hands feel weak.
The man ran away in a hurry, and an awkward silence began to fall between Yebin and me.
