Chapter 90

27. Chul-soo, let’s play.

The Korean police did it!

117 Japanese fugitives arrested!

Don’t run abroad! You have to run to get caught!

Korean investigation techniques recognized by Japan!



But scientific investigation is still lacking. We’re short of budget!

The day they came back, it was a mess.

Perhaps because the helicopter crash on the Olympic Bridge shocked the country a few days ago, the media handled the matter more loudly.

When I think about that time!

At 6 p.m., when the sun has not set yet, Coach Shin Sung-il is already twisted to see if he is drunk.

“Ha ha.”

As expected of our Jong-hyuk! Our Jong-hyuk who punished Japanese judo! I mean…

“I don’t participate.”

The upcoming Summer Universiade in Beijing.

Jong-hyuk declared his absence.

Why? You’re the captain of the national team.

“Adults shouldn’t go to play.

You’re 22 years old now, man!

“I have work to do.”

-…….what to do?

“A trip to the land. This is a regular curriculum.”

What?

Traveling to the land or volunteering.

This is a regular curriculum at the University of Police.

Conduct self-improvement activities and share experiences among college students under the theme of ‘communication and challenge’ during vacation.

Second graders of police university must do it.

I have other things to do.’

This trip to the country was not chosen because of the regular curriculum.

-Challenge… -No, well……that’s in winter.… Oh, I’m freezing to death.

What’s the reason for not finishing the land in winter?

In the summer, you can survive somehow if you are careful of sunstroke and dehydration, but in the winter, it is a matter of survival.

“It’s not a challenge for the Olympic gold medalist to compete in the Universiade.”

That was right.

What are you going to do with the course?

“It’s a course that starts from Yongsan Station and ends at Panmunjom via Gangwon-do, Gyeongsang-do, Jeolla-do. I’ve been holding it for about six weeks.”

I booked a field trip to Panmunjom in advance.

Oh, that’s a big turn. Bicycle?

“That’s right.”

Director Shin Sung-il is reminiscent of the past.

When I was in my 20s when I was very energetic, I even took pictures of Haenam, Jeolla Province with my friends with a shabby delivery bike.

I wondered what kind of crazy idea he had at the time, but now it was a precious and beautiful memory to dwell on at a drinking party.

I got it’s okay. Then there’s nothing we can do.

It’s a challenge for a student.

A challenge to test the limits even if the monster itself is physical Jong-hyuk.

Coach Shin Sung-il had no choice but to give up because this challenge will mature Jong-hyuk’s body and mind.

Did you get the map? Where’s the tent?

“Don’t worry, I’ve got everything. I also brought water.”

Buy ramen in the neighborhood. We’ll have to minimize our luggage to finish the race.

“Thank you for your advice.”

Okay. Have a good trip. Give up if you feel like you’re going to go out. Your body isn’t just yours.

“Don’t worry.”

After talking on the phone a little more, Jong-hyuk headed to Yongsan Station.

” Jong-hyuk아!”

“Hyuk!”

Soyoung, Suho and Irina are waving their hands.

When I heard that I was going on a bicycle trip, I managed to attend.

There were also five colleagues of the police force on behalf of Hyun-seok and Hee-jin, who were middle and high school students who could not participate.

Did you say hello to each other?”

“What…….”

Jong-hyuk smirked.

‘Yes, it’s still time for me and my wife.’

Thanks to Soyoung and Irina, who are pretty and well-built.

In particular, Irina even wore a cyclist’s outfit, which was very tight to where she got it, and attacked men’s hearts.

The female motivator was also very handsome.

So it will be awkward for each other.

But it will be different in a few days.

From then on, we will be comrades who go through hard fights together.

“Let’s review the course first.”

Each opened a map.

It’s a time when GPS isn’t available yet.

There’s even no navigation.

“Do you all agree with the first 10 days of leisurely trip to Gangwon-do?”

Everyone nodded vigorously.

We set up a tent and grilled meat in the valley.

Swim on the beach and eat raw fish.

We looked around the village and did volunteer work.

“K.K.K.K.K.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve got enough dues.

A flower garden spread out in their heads.

But in fact, this trip wasn’t just riding a bike.

Jong-hyuk was a little sorry for them who liked it.

volunteer work in a mountain village

The real purpose of this trip he put in.

The end of the country and the establishment of friendship are one thing and another.

The name of one of the Koreans who learned fraud, the master of Shirasagi, said, was familiar.

So I found out that there was a character.

Yeah, it was around this time of year.’

At this time, the whole nation loved a child and was saddened by his misfortune.

Because of the guilt that their sympathy eventually ruined the child.

Even though it was never the people’s fault.

Jong-hyuk clenched his teeth.

Child sponsorship fraud.

It’s exactly a sponsorship scam.

It is a dirty trick aimed at the ambiguity of punishable laws, and it is a trick that still wanders in the future.

Never dreamed that this would be a trick from Japan, Jong-hyuk clenched his fist.

“Anyway, you punk. I’ll catch it this time.’

The one who escaped like a loach before regression.

However, it will be different this time after securing design drawings.

“All right, let’s finish the course check here. Everyone’s wearing safety helmets and protective gear, right?”

Motives and friends pat their elbows, knees, and heads and laugh.

Minimum protective gear for safety.

“Yeah, let’s go.”

Nodding their heads, they got on their bikes, and so the end of the race began.

* * *

Whoosh!

Bicycles move through the hot sunlight and hot wind of summer. Mid-summer showers on the national roads seemed to help them with their challenge.

Bang bang!

“I guess you’re traveling with your friends!”

The middle-aged man, who opened the window by turning the handle diligently, looks envious and cheers with pride.

“Yes, sir!”

“As expected, I like youth! Come on, eat these and do it!”

A cool drink in the bag is delivered.

At times like this, stop for a while and have a light drink time.

While there are people I’m thankful for.

“Whoa! We’re going on a trip by car! You envy me, don’

“If you don’t have much money, how much do you travel by bicycle? Good luck, beggars!

Some of them are a rip-off.

Me! Me!

Who do these bastards really think they’re beggars?

Hey, catch up with that! Put it away!

– Choi Jong-hyuk! 고!

“What do you mean, you punks?” Still, I feel like I’m getting younger because I’m young enough to scream and watch.

Jong-hyuk picked up a radio on his thick forearm.

“Come on, come on ahead.”

Large!

Facing the wind head-on consumes a lot of physical strength, and the lead was being replaced every certain time to reduce the physical consumption.

– Jong-hyuk, I’ll be in the lead. You’ve done a great job, so stay back.

No! I’ll go!

Jong-hyuk grinned at the words of his male colleagues, who were serious and worried.

“It’s noisy.”

What? I’m fine. It’s not going to wear off if you can’t see it!

-…… Jong-hyuk아-!

Whoosh!

a town much smaller than a town

Nine bicycles stop and draw attention.

This is especially true because outsiders rarely come to the village and there are foreign women in the group.

So-young, who got off the bike first, runs toward Irina.

Clap! Ta-da!

“Hey, you, you! You clumsy girl!”

“It hurts! It hurts, Mom!”

“It’s noisy! Change your clothes first!”

The female motive didn’t say anything, but she stared at Irina with sharp eyes. And I looked at my male colleagues with more contempt than that.

The male colleagues peeked at the distant mountain.

“Wow, there’s a place like this in Korea.”

There are shabby signs hanging about a hundred meters in the roadway.

It’s really a countryside.

The most noticeable signs are ‘Cheolgu Oriental Pharmacy’ and ‘Gae So Ju’.

“What’s dog soju?”

“It’s better not to know.” For them, who are Seoulites, they may be shocked.

Jong-hyuk looked around.

Definitely a small town.

A small Chinese restaurant. A bakery, a butcher’s shop, and a hardware store are all convenience facilities lined up next to a 100-meter driveway.

The sign “Chunja Cafe” next to the pesticide feed store is also noticeable.

It is fortunate that there are police stations and fire stations, even if they are small.

Is this the biggest town around?’

Otherwise there can be no police stations and fire stations.

“I can’t believe people can live like this.”

“Chicken, don’t they sell pizza?”

‘You shouldn’t want that, guys.’ A moment later, Irina, who was dragged to a nearby alley with her ears caught, came back in a pair of short jeans.

“It’s hot.”

“Shut up! Don’t you guys look away?!”

“Oh, the scenery is nice.”

Smirking, Jong-hyuk gathered people to point to a distant mountain.

“I’m going there today. No, not there. There.”

“It’s all mountains, Jong-hyuk.”

It was.

All the sights on the eye are mountains.

“You all remember the volunteer work before we left, right?”

“What are you doing there?”

“No, more than that, you’re playing in the valley after you’re done, right? Right?”

“How deep is it? How deep is it? Can you dive?!”

Jong-hyuk continued, ignoring the men who had their eyes on Jetbob.

“Weeding, cleaning, roof repairs? I’ve already contacted you to do volunteer work, so you can just enter. The problem is…….”

It’s really a mountain village.

A small village in a high mountain where few outsiders can reach from outside Gangwon-do.

Jong-hyuk saw Suho.

Suho, the smallest of these.

Flat-land riding followed without difficulty, but mountain climbing may not be tolerable.

“Are you gonna be all right?”

“Yes! No problem!”

Muscles spring up from Suho’s forearm, which bends his elbows.

“Oh, did you work out?”

“…Yes, I did.”

However, Suho’s face suddenly darkens.

Jong-hyuk is in a hurry.

“What, what’s going on?”

“Whoa. I’m short and I’m an anchovy.”

“…I confessed. Did you get dumped?”

“…….”

“Oh, there’s a supermarket!”

“Oh! I’ll buy it over there!”

Jong-hyuk and his party headed to the supermarket.

It was polite not to ask for the pain of a friend.

The supermarket was uniquely located next to the restaurant.

An old lady in her 70s, who was fanning in front of a fan, was surprised by a crowd of outsiders.

“Hello!”

“First of all, put candy and snacks. It’s a neighborhood with a lot of elderly people, so snacks will be a good gift.”

“Pumpet beak?”

“Something to chew. Something sweet to eat when you’re low on sugar.”

“Oops.”

“Should I buy you a drink?”

“Hey! Don’t ask me what’s obvious.

Grandmother was distracted by the conversation of nine people.

“Are your friends hanging out in the valley?”

“Oh, I’m from Seoul, and I’m going to Cheondeok in Donghari.”

“Cheondeok?”

My grandmother’s face is slightly stiff.

“Did the owners watch the television? Stop picking on that poor thing!”

Everyone was embarrassed when she screamed.

At that time, Jong-hyuk said with a light smile.

“What do you mean, Terevi, Grandma? And who’s bothering you?”

“…Don’t you know Chul-soo?”

“We’re going to the neighborhood for volunteer work. Cleaning and weed for the elderly who are not feeling well. I’m going to do something that needs strength.”

“Really?”

My grandmother’s cheeks are flushed.

“But what do you mean by television, Grandma?”

Jong-hyuk knows everything, but asks as if he doesn’t know.

Grandmother hesitated for a moment and said.

Poor Cheol-soo was filmed at a broadcasting station, which meant that outsiders found Chul-soo after he was on TV.

He also added that it was like an animal spectator.

“Oh, really?!”

“Oh, it’s definitely not us, Grandma!”

Like the children waving their hands in surprise, Jong-hyuk looked surprised and cleared the suspicion of the children staring at him.

“There were people at the Seoul broadcasting station today as well.”….”

Oh! Jong-hyuk thought it was good.

“It doesn’t matter because it’s a house in the valley in Cheondeok. Since Chun likes makgeolli, buy that, too.”

“Oh, you seem to know?”

“The only supermarket around here is my house.”

“Then can you tell me what your elders like?”

“That’s…….”

Grandma said everything she knew, and Jong-hyuk saw the children.

“Did you hear that?”

“Okay!”

They brought enough money because they talked in advance that this would happen anyway. The men bounced out, and the women bought corrosion products as they hoarded.

Grandmother was worried about a lot of luggage in front of the supermarket.

Snacks, candy, ramen, soy milk, raw meat, raw chicken, agricultural equipment, etc.

All kinds of goods are piled up like mountains.

“Oh, can you carry all of this up there?”

Even if nine people are divided, this is the amount that can never be raised.

Moreover, the place where they will head is Cheondeok, which is famous for its roughness in this neighborhood.

“No way. I can’t hold it.”

“Then what?”

“That’s why I’m saying…….”

Grandma’s eyes opened wide at Jong-hyuk’s words.

* * *

Cheondeok, a small village on the mountain in Dongha-ri, a remote neighborhood in Gangwon-do.

A bent old man in his 70s stomped on his feet as he watched a downhill road outside Dong-gu.

“It’s time to come…….”

“Are they coming?”

“Are you the lads, man?! They’re young people who go to university in Seoul! Do you think a Seoulite would break his promise?!”

Jang, the youngest man in his 50s in town, shrugged his shoulders.

“But other people in Seoul…….”

The space between the two is stiffened.

At first, I thought it was a good thing, and I allowed it because it was on TV. But the aftermath was wreaking havoc on a village of only 15 people.

“They’re bad things! Keep saying that…….”

Rumbling.

The two crumpled their brows in a disturbance from above.

People with cameras and lighting fixtures come down filming a boy.

The only boy in town.

I am 16 years old, Kim Cheol-soo.

“Oops!”

The boy who found the two quickly ran and bowed down.

“Hello, grandpa! Sir!”

As always, the old man and Jang smile happily, forgetting that the camera is filming them.

“Yeah, where are you going? Are you going out to play?”

“School!”

“Are you going to study?”

“Yes!”

Chul-soo, who answers happily but seems to be lacking somewhere.

He was born blessed in this small town but grew up without learning properly due to circumstances.

I can’t blame you for trying to help her.….’

An old man can close his eyes tomorrow, but a lot of help is needed for Cheol-soo, a 16-year-old child living with his single mother.

Fortunately, there are people who promised to sponsor, and the sponsor next to the broadcasting staff also looks in whenever the broadcasting people come, but the problem is the outsider who comes after watching the broadcast.

As if they were living in this village, outsiders rushed to Cheolsu to take pictures.

“I’m afraid it’ll have a bad effect on Chul-soo if he’s cold-hearted.”

The two, who had only suffered from heartache, suddenly listened.

Roar!

The car is coming up.

Jang is the only one who has a car in this neighborhood, so it is an outsider who comes up by car.

“Oh, it’s coming!”

“No, they said they were going to ride bicycles. But isn’t that incitement?”

“Oh, yeah? Why is he in my town…….”

Mr. Jang and the old man shut up.

Outsiders on bicycles are panting behind a ton of trucks.

Everyone was surprised by the sudden appearance of an outsider, and Jong-hyuk, who was at the forefront and controlling his pace, shone his eyes at them.

You haven’t gone yet. Broadcasting crew!

Jong-hyuk smiled inwardly.

And you.

Jong-hyuk’s smile intensified as he sees a man in his 50s in the middle of the filming team.
