#44 Missing



"Excuse me, do you have a minute?" Minna asked a man.


"What's up?" Ask the man.


"I'm Shim Minna from Seoul National University majoring in Journalism I'd like to interview you on a few topics." Answer Minna.


"Alright, but I'll put my groceries in the car first huh." Said the man.


"Good please." Answer Minna.


"Sir, how about we interview in my car? I'm kind of tired from going around shopping, and the weather's hot anyway." Said the man.


"All right." Minna.


The man put his luggage in the trunk while gesturing to his men to prepare.


"Let's go in. please." Said the man.


Minna got in the car.


*klek...* Sound of car door locked.


"Sorry, why did you lock the door?" Minna said to the man.


The man's men appeared from the back bench and made Minna very surprised.


"The...Whoareyou? Please don't hurt me." Minna.


"Shut up!" Said the man.


"Hmmmm.hmm.hmmm..." Minna rebelled but her mouth and nose were smothered by handkerchiefs and Minna was knocked unconscious by drugs.


"Give him a look back." The man said to his men.


"Good boss." The answer.


They moved Minna to the back bench.

...#44...


...Is lost...


"Jiyuan!" Donghwi shouted from Kai's car.


"Donghwi, you're done first huh?" Jihyun.


"Yes, just wait for Kai and Minna. Uh, you're done, right?" Ask Donghwi.


"Now, don't-don't Kai and Minna are..." Jihyun.


"Ehem... What are?" Kai suddenly came.


"A.hahaha... Kai are you done?" Jihyun asked awkwardly.


"We thought you were dating Minna." Donghwi said frankly.


"That's right! I'm a slick guy, yeah, make this group work a chance to date Minna?" Said Kai.


"If there's no chance, the narrowness can be too, right?" Donghwi meledek.


"Huhaha...." They laugh together.


"But by the way Minna hasn't come back yet?" Ask Kai.


"Yes, he doesn't usually take long to do things like this." Jihyun.


"I'll try to call Minna soon." Donghwi.


"Which way is he going?" Ask Kai.


"Kesana, do we just follow him there?" Said Jihyun smabil pointing at the direction.


"Come on, let's go there." Said Kai.


"Hows it? Did Minna answer?" Jihyun asked Donghwi.


"There's no answer yet, it looks like Minna's phone was wiped out." Reply Donghwi.


"Ahhh yes, Minna almost never turned on her phone ring." Jihyun.


"Donghwi, we'll find Minna there you wait in the car. Keep trying to call Minna ya." Kai said to Donghwi.


"okay!" Reply Donghwi.


"Come on Jihyun." Kai and Jihyun go to find Minna.


....


"Boss, we've brought the target and are heading to where we planned yesterday. Everything is safe no one's looking." The man said on the phone.


"Good! I'm also headed there, put him in the basement, tie him up and keep his mouth shut." Said the woman on the phone.


"Good boss." Answer the man.


....



"Good job! I can finally take revenge on Minna. This is what happens if you dare to take what should belong to Gu Karin!" Karin said while driving her car.


....


"okay." Answer Jihyun.


Jihyun and Kai split up in search of Minna.


They've been searching for 1 hour but haven't found Minna. Finally Kai sent a message in the group to return to the car.


The three of them gathered back in the car.


"You haven't found Minna yet?" Donghwi asked as soon as Kai arrived at the car.


"How is the phone? Is there an answer?" Ask Kai again.


"Not yet." Reply Donghwi.


Kai can only take a deep breath and lean outside the car because he feels guilty and is very worried about Minna.


Not long Jihyun also arrived at the car.


"Ah Jihyun, how is it? Are there any signs that Minna left behind?" Kai asked as soon as Jihyun arrived.


Jihyun just shook her head.


"I just found this on the road earlier and it's Minna's." Jihyun gave a ballpoint pen with the name Minna.


"Arrh.... Goddamnit! It's all my fault I shouldn't have told you to do a split-up interview like this!" Kai said annoyed at himself.


"Don't blame yourself like that, it's possible that Minna accidentally dropped it I'm sure she'll be fine. Relax we must find Minna." Jihyun.


Donghwi got out of the car.


"Kai, we better try to find Minna again while driving around here in a car maybe she's resting somewhere." Donghwi.


"True what Donghwi said, let's just get in the car we're looking for together." Jihyun.


"Let me drive, you and Kai look around because even more you Jihyun you know Minna best." Donghwi


"All right." Answer Jihyun.


Kai got into the car.


....



*Huk... Uhuk... Uhu...* Minna coughed momentarily unconscious.


"Huh? Me where? Help u! Somebody help me!" Minna was shocked because she was in a very dark room.


Minna was very scared and cried loudly.


*tap... Taps... Taps... Taps...* Sounds the sound of people walking.


"To... Please, help me!" Minna said to the man who came.


Because it was so dark Minna couldn't see very well.


"You're aware of it?" Said the man from a distance away so that even Minna could not recognize the wave.


"Uncle, help me. I'm sorry if I'm wrong, please let me go home uncle." Minna said while crying.


"Sorry, I can't do that." The man said and left again.


"Uncle where are you going? Uncle! I'm afraid to be alone!" Shouted Minna because the man was gone.


"Huhuhoo.... Huhu.... Why these? What's going on?" Minna said as she continued to cry.


The man came again wearing a hat and a mask.


"Uncle! Uncle! Help me uncle!" Minna said to the man.


"Where's food? Give him a meal." Said the man to his men regardless of Minna's words.


The man who was his men approached to feed Minna.


"Uncle, uncle... Help me, let go of me uncle." Minna.


The man answered nothing and left Minna.


"Hey stupid! How would he eat if both hands were still tied?! Tie his left hand on that pole! Let me help you hold it." Said the man called boss.


"Okay, sorry boss." Said his men.


The two men approach Minna and change Minna's hand.


Minna continued to rebel but Minna's energy was unable to resist them.


"Fast to eat, we're keeping you, not torturing you. Let's go" said the man the boss called and they left.


"Uncle! Help me uncle! Uncle I want to go home!" Shouted Minna pleading.


"What actually happened? Why was I brought here? Jihyun, Kai and Donghwi must be looking for me. How's this?!" Minna said worriedly.


Suddenly...


*tuk... Tuk... Tuk...* Sounds of footsteps but feels different in Minna's ears.


"Why is the sound of his shoes different from the one before?" Minna asked confusedly.


"Have not seen Minna in a long time." The voice of the woman was heard from far away.
