Angel Smile - Chapter 109 All Hell Broke Loose
Second floor of H Bar, Itaewon.
A man was frantically ruffling his hair as he dialled a familiar number.
“F*ck! F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!”
It was Hwang Se Jin.
As promised, he had been intently listening to the recordings. He had thought that it would be the same old boring silence, but unexpectedly, that man had returned and even brought back a girl with him. He had heard that man call the girl ‘Yeo Ri’, whom he immediately recognised as Gun’s prized little sister. After listening to the one-sided conversation, he could not help but become frazzled.
Yeo Ri was in danger! He knew he had to do something.
“Pick up… pick up…”
However, even after calling the number for five consecutive times, nobody picked up.
Now, at his wit’s end, he dialled the emergency number, 112.
“Hello, is this the police?!”
“Yes, what’s your emergency?”
“Yes! There is a girl who is currently in danger!” He got up, pacing back and forth anxiously.
“Sir, please calm down and explain everything to me in detail.”
“A girl is being raped! Please hurry and send some help!”
“Sir, where are you? Please tell me the address and I will have a patrol unit come over immediately.”
“The address…? The address… Sh*t! The address!” Hwang Se Jin cursed.
He did not know the address of Gun’s house.
He had never asked, and Gun himself had never disclosed it.
“Sh*t! Um… it’s in the OO area!”
“Sir, I’m going to need something more specific than that.”
“I… I don’t know!” He shouted in panic.
“Sir! Please calm down and tell me what you see.”
“I-I’m not sure. I-I’m not in the same place as the girl,” he timidly replied.
“What? Is this a joke? Excuse me, mister, you shouldn’t go around prank-calling the emergency line!”
“I’m not joking! There’s really a girl who is in danger! I just don’t know where she is!” Hwang Se Jin defensively roared.
The emergency line operator seemed to be fed up, and directly hung up the call.
Hwang Se Jin cursed loudly.
Once again, he picked up his phone and incessantly called Gun until he picked up.
Gun had been in class when he realised that his phone had been buzzing nonstop.
“Excuse me, Student Lee Gun,” the teacher paused the lesson with an annoyed look. “Either turn off your phone or pick up the call.”
Gun lowered his head, “Yes, I’m sorry.” After receiving the teacher’s permission, he took his phone and exited the class.
“What—”
“Hey, Lee Gun! Why did it take you so long to pick up?!” Hwang Se Jin roared.
“Wha—”
“Hey, go and listen to the recordings right now! Your sister is in danger!”
“Huh?” Gun scrunched his brows in confusion, but did as he asked. He pulled out his earphones from his pockets and plugged it in.
“Where did you say you put the bug again? Your house, right? You have to go home now!”
Just as Hwang Se Jin said those words, ambiguous sounds played from the live recording of the wiretapping device he had hidden in his father’s room.
“N…o…! Sto…p!” A familiar soft voice begged feebly.
“Stay still!” A familiar man’s voice barked, followed by loud panting. The sound of flesh hitting against flesh echoed in his ears.
“It hu…rts…!” The girl sobbed.
“You’re so tight, Yeo Ri-ah,” the man groaned, ignoring her pleas.
Gun listened for a few more seconds uncomprehendingly. His legs almost gave out due to the shock. He placed a hand on the wall to support his body.
“W-wha…t…?”
“You need to go home now!” Hwang Se Jin insisted.
Gun did not think twice.
He slammed the classroom door loudly in his haste, scrambling to pick up his things. He ignored the others’ bewilderment and hurriedly ran out of the classroom, pushing away anything and everything that was in his way.
“Hey! Student Lee Gun, where are you going?!” The teacher called out as he stormed out of the classroom.
“I’m coming!” He told the man who had yet to disconnect from the call. “XX neighbourhood, OO town! The second last house near the fields! I’ll be waiting for you!” Gun hastily listed his address to the man on the line.
Choi Da Na and Noh Ha Jun exchanged glances. Then, simultaneously, they also packed their things and went after Gun.
Meanwhile, Gun was running in the hallways. He ended the call with Hwang Se Jin, then immediately called Hyuk. Due to the sudden unexpected situation, he set aside his loathing for the man.
Luckily, he actually picked up his phone quickly.
“Hyung! We have to go home right now! Yeo Ri is in danger! That b*stard took her to that house!” He informed him in quick succession.
“Wh—” Hyuk who was about to yell at Gun abruptly straightened himself. “Yeo Ri is where? At home?”
“Hurry! There’s no time!” Gun urged him to move first. Gun’s school was out of town, so it might take at least half an hour for him to get home. Hyuk who was closer to Yeo Ri’s current location had a higher chance of reaching her faster.
“—!” Hyuk ended the call without another word. Even though he was in the middle of working, he didn’t think twice about taking off his working gloves and throwing them to the ground. He shot towards his bike, then rushed to the house.
