Chapter 15 – That Face, Those Eyes (3)
"My friend, I’ll answer anything you like."
"Do you rember when we went to Busan nine years ago?"
"Yeah. It was my first trip without my parents."
"Did we ever have drinks with two guys there?"
"I think we t up with guys several tis at Haeundae?"
So it was. Many tis.
Jiyeon thought back Minho’s story and rembered a na.
"Do you rember a man nad Dongsik?"
"Dongsik? Are you joking? How should I know? The n I dated in college also had unmorable nas like that."
"Then Minho? Seo Minho."
"Seo Minho? Seo Minho...hmmm. You don’t an the second son of Eunseong Group, right?"
Jiyeon felt a prick at her conscience.
After graduating from the Departnt of Newspaper Broadcasting, Ju-eun beca a program director for a broadcasting station.
She was in charge of the investigation program "I’ll Let You Know" for a few years now.
She had a keen intuition, a pulse on current events, and a sharp eye for observation.
There was one thing Jiyeon knew about Ju-eun since their close friendship in high school.
Jiyeon couldn’t lie to her.
"Uhhh...that’s right."
"Wait!"
Ju-eun paused to think for a mont.
"We t the second son of Eunseong Group at Haeundae when we were twenty years old? And you want to probe about it now?"
"It’s not a probe..."
"What makes you ask? Are you...are you in charge of this Eunseong case?"
Jiyeon was spooked.
"Well. I’m on the special investigation team."
"Wow! Our station was in a ss because of this incident. Hey! Give the all the details. What the hell happened?"
The noisy background on her end started to fade away.
She was either outside the bar or in a bathroom.
"I can’t tell you because there’s no official press release yet."
"Cha Ji Yeon. Are you really going to do this? Don’t you trust ?"
"I believe in my friend Jang Ju-eun, but I should be careful about program director Jang Ju-eun."
"Do you think Chairman Seo Geon-u is a murder victim too?"
Although Jiyeon admired Ju-eun’s keen sense,
"No comnt."
"You’re saying two of the wealthiest people from the nation’s largest conglorate were murdered in one night? Oh my God!"
From one comnt Ju-eun was already convinced that Seo Geon-u was murdered.
"But how did you et Seo Minho again?"
"I ran into him for the autopsy exam and he recognized . He said we t at Haeundae nine years ago..."
"Wow! Wait. You said you t nine years ago, but he still rembered your face? That doesn’t make much sense. I don’t really rember that much at all. My power of mory doesn’t work for anyone."
Jiyeon did not tell her that Minho watched her for a year.
She didn’t want to believe it. She can’t believe it.
Jiyeon sidestepped the issue.
"I guess I have better mory than you."
"If you go out to et another guy like that, do you want to co along?"
"Wow. Sure. I’ll call you again then."
"Hey, wait a minute! Please give more information as you go on."
"When the press release is finalized I’ll be the first to let you know."
"The director is going to make a special feature of the Eunseong Group!"
"The family tree is certainly interesting to look at."
"We are a fantasy couple, too. I love you, Jiyeon."
Jiyeon, who was about to hang up the call, was at a loss for words.
"Ah...as a heads up. You’re probably going to hear a lot of ridiculous stories."
"Well, I got a tip that Michael Jackson is alive. And living in Itaewon."
"Can a person see the future?"
"Like psychics?"
"For example, sothing that hasn’t happened yet."
"Is this about Eunseong?"
Again! Spooky!
"Not really..."
"If there’s a man that talks crap like that, be careful."
"Well, okay. Good night, my friend."
"Night!"
Jiyeon took another long drink of her beer.
A man’s face ca to her mind.
Minho. A man still shrouded in mystery.
There was more to him than one or two suspicious details. There was ample motivation.
The height and body of the man who appeared on the surveillance footage were similar.
"I need to find an alibi."
She did an Internet search on her laptop on Eunseong Group’s second son Seo Minho.
As already shown in the report, his activity as the president of Eunseong Food was limited.
Most of the articles were related to scandals with celebrities, even from years ago.
"Supermodel actress Genie, dating a Eunseong Group son?" declared one headline.
Underneath this was a story mostly filled with speculation and little substance.
In this article was this description of Minho.
-Unlike his older brother Vice Chairman Seo Minhyeok of Eunseong Group, and his younger brother President Seo Minseok of Eunseong Motors, Seo Minho has little interest in the business and not much is known about his personal life. According to him he is an all-around sportsman and enjoys racing cars and competing in the F1 races.
Minho’s eyes erged in her vision.
The dark, deadly colored pupils seed to be looking at her right now.
Co on! Stop thinking about it.
