Jiwon flopped onto the bed and stared up at the ceiling. Report papers scattered, and a few fell to the floor with a rustle. After speaking with Chief Hong, she searched through every file that had to do with her father’s death. Until now, she hadn’t wanted to know, so she had avoided doing this. She was glad she was alone when she saw the picture of the corpse. If she had been around the other detectives, they would have seen her wail and sob.

“Haa…”

She covered her eyes with her hand. They felt hot against her palm. The rain that began to trickle down the window had now turned into a full blown torrent, making the sky look even more gloomy. She opened the curtain and was glaring out at the damned rain when a cellphone began to ring. Jiwon opened a drawer and pulled out a phone ringing to the melody of an old trot song. Two days ago, Seokju gave her this cell phone.

“Hello?”

For the best reading experience, visit lilyonthevalley.com

— It’s me.

When she heard the voice of the main character who was filling up every space in her head, Jiwon gulped.

“The phone looks new, but why does the ringtone sound like this?”

— Your tastes were always a bit old anyway. I was just matching it to your style.

Jiwon opened the refrigerator to find something to drink, but all she had was liquor. Jiwon pulled out a can of beer and cracked it open. She quenched her parched throat by gulping it down. She heard Seokju’s voice in her ear.

— Are you an alcoholic?

He must have heard the can open through the phone.

“I was just a bit thirsty.”

— If you’re drinking liquor because you’re thirsty, then it sounds like you have a drinking problem.

Jiwon listened to his low voice as she sat down on the bed. She gathered her knees to her chest.

“I told the team members today.”

— Really?

His voice sounded as calm and steady as it always did. He must’ve been outside because she could hear the sound of the rain in the background grow louder.

“You were right. Chief Hong was suspicious. It seems that he’s feeling uneasy about you joining our side.”

— I don’t blame him.

If one had common sense, they’d realize that trusting him was a dangerous thing to do. Jiwon looked out the window next to her bed and watched the rain hit the glass as she bit her lip.

“You…”

When she was young, she hated the rain and felt afraid whenever it came. However, after she became an adult, whenever it rained, she felt lonely. This was because she knew she would never see Seokju again.

The little boy who had helped her escape in the torrential rain had long disappeared. The boy who had kissed her in the rain because he was unable to control his burning feelings had left. Jiwon had tried to forget him during all these years apart. However, no one else was able to leave such a strong impression as Seokju in her life.

“Did you know that Choi ChulYoung was the man who killed my father?”

Her voice trembled towards the end. Seokju didn’t waste his breath and gave her a curt answer.

— Yeah.

“…Since when?”

— Since the beginning.

Her heart began to thump wildly inside her chest. Jiwon slowly closed her eyes. Even if Seokju cheated on her, she’d question the true reason why he did it. However, when she heard that he had already known, she was afraid to hear more.

“Then why did you work under that bastard? Even though you knew he was the one who killed my father.”

She tried not to show it, but her voice trembled. Seokju asked back.

Seokju’s voice was steady. Jiwon slightly crumpled her half-empty can of beer and put it away. Then she replied in a soft voice.

“Because of my dad…?”

Visit Lily on the Valley to read full chapter without gibberish

She had thought about him a lot more in the past week than she had in the past ten years. It wasn’t surprising that she did not remember him when she met him for the second time at the age of nineteen. Because the little boy’s eyes that she had seen in the pouring rain were nowhere to be found on Seokju’s face. And she didn’t know when the unexpected words left his mouth.

“…I love you.”

The confession had been a lot heavier than expected, and it had caught her by surprise. And when she mulled over it later, it rang even clearer.

She couldn’t hear his breaths through the receiver of the phone. Only the rain. Jiwon asked again in a soft voice.

“Did you do it… to get revenge on the guy who killed my dad?”

Seokju had come to visit her mother, the woman who had kicked him out of her father’s wake. When Jiwon was wallowing in self pity like an idiot, thinking she was the only one who was suffering, Seokju was the one who had held her mother’s hand in her time of need.

“Is that why you approached Choi ChulYoung?”

Jiwon’s warm eyes widened. Her head was still jumbled, but she was certain of one thing. When it came to hiding one’s thoughts, no one could come close to Seokju. Did he deliberately approach Choi ChulYoung to avenge her father? One one hand, she believed that he had the intelligence to think of a way to do this. On the other hand, her hopeful heart might be spinning this to make it sound more optimistic. She was too afraid to find out.

— You know what? Whenever you cursed back when we were young, it turned me on.

“I’m not in the mood to hear your jokes.”

She drew her knees up and grasped her hair in frustration. Seokju continued.

— I’m serious. Back when we were in Changlim Province and you had tears coming out of your eyes and snot coming out of your nose as you asked me to go with you… Well, I just marveled at how stupid you were. I wondered whether you’d get caught while you were running away and get dragged back. Even though I was young, I was still very worried. But when we met again, that wasn’t the case. I messed with you a little, and you came right back at me with vulgar expletives. You even punched me… Fuck, I was turned on.

Jiwon heard the click of a lighter through the phone.

“Shin Seokju…”

He must have put a cigarette in his mouth because he hummed his response. His voice was so soft and guileless that she almost thought he was being sweet. However, Jiwon realized that Seokju would not be opening his mouth readily. Ultimately, he was the one asking her questions. What do you think of me? What am I like in your eyes?

“Chief Hong told me that if you were planning on getting revenge on Choi ChulYoung, there would have been many opportunities to do so. That it seems strange that as soon as we make you an offer to cooperate, you readily take it as if you were waiting for it all along.”

 — Is that what’s jumbling your thoughts and making you angry?

Jiwon listened to Seokju’s laughing voice as she drew in a deep breath.

“Yeah. But now that I think about it, it doesn’t make any sense.”

Seokju remained silent as he waited for her to continue. Jiwon chewed on her lips before she finished her thought.

“I made the assumption that Chief Hong made and thought about it. Let’s say that you wanted to get revenge on the world and aligned yourself with the man who killed my dad to flaunt it in front of me and my mom.”

— That’s a possibility.

“Yeah, right.”

Jiwon scoffed. Seokju remained silent.

“You’re a guy who cares a lot about how other people see you. Did someone like you become a gangster because you didn’t have anything else to do?”

This was the greatest obstacle in Chief Hong’s deduction. She still couldn’t completely understand it, but she knew better than anyone just how much he hated his background. Just how much he wanted to escape it. Her voice trembled as she continued.

“Being a gangster doesn’t suit you, Seokju.”

Seokju chuckled as if he were having fun listening to her. 

 — But it might be the most cruel form of revenge for people like you or your parents.

“Then you would have appeared before my eyes one way or another! Much earlier. You would have come to us first! You would have shown off how you’ve been living thus far.”

Her mother said that when she bumped into Seokju by chance at the memorial, he had ignored her as if she were invisible. Even if he had entered a criminal organization by that point and was laying low, there was still a limit. The fact that he had done all those things without ever catching the eye of the police meant one thing. Seokju had been meticulously hiding himself during these past ten years. And Jiwon knew he was more than capable of doing it.

“But you never appeared in front of me.”

Jiwon’s voice was shaking, but her eyes were not. Now that she said it out loud, she began to see things clearly.

“When I suddenly barged in, you were surprised. Did you really think I wouldn’t notice that your wristwatch was upside-down?”

She heard the sound of wind mixed with Seokju’s low chuckle. It made her even angrier.

“And when you found out too late that Choi ChulYoung was coming, you threw the bundles of cash at us right away. You did that shit because you wanted us to leave quickly.”

Her breaths were choppy as if she’d just sprinted. Jiwon clenched her fists and continued in a whining voice.

Jiwon suddenly felt strange and froze. The lights in her room were turned off, and the sign from across the street clicked on, illuminating the room. With her knees gathered to her chest while she was sitting on the bed, Jiwon kept the cellphone to her ear and slowly turned her head to the window.

The building across the street in the small alleyway. It had a sign that said ‘International Marriages’ and a window that was usually closed shut and covered by a tarp. However, the window was now wide open. She saw a light flash through the rain. Seokju lowered his camera and leaned against the window as he laughed at her.

— It doesn’t look like you want to hit me at all.

His voice was husky.

Jiwon burst to her feet. The beer fell over and began to spill onto the floor, but she didn’t care. She haphazardly put on the slippers sitting by the front door and ran outside.

Tap, tap. Her feet moved faster as she ran down the stairs. As soon as she got outside the building, she was drenched in the pouring rain.

She ran across the wet street. When she entered the dark building, she headed straight up the stairs once again. Her legs stiffened as she ran up the emergency stairwell two steps at a time. She felt like her heart was going to burst.

As she flew past the various stores, she searched for her target. When she burst open the door, Seokju was there.

“I always wondered. What kind of people come to a place like this?”

“Desperate people?”

Jiwon was dripping with rain as she walked over to him. There was only a large table and a single chair inside the room. It was obvious that this was not an establishment that arranged international marriages. The photos taped to the wall were all of her.

Rather than being unable to hit him, seeing him face to face was a lot more exhausting. Even in the past, whenever Seokju confronted her with sincerity, she was always troubled. This was because she never had an escape.

Seokju didn’t say anything, but he definitely knew what she was talking about. Jiwon didn’t blink as she gazed at him, her eyes growing damp with tears.

Even if she refused, it didn’t matter. Seokju gradually enclosed her in a gentle but binding embrace as he sucked on her lips. The moment his hot tongue entered her mouth, Jiwon’s body flinched and began to tremble. Seokju noticed her reaction and plunged even deeper.

As the temperature inside the room grew warmer, her neck grew flushed over her sleeveless shirt. Seokju’s chest repeatedly swelled and deflated with his breaths.

Jiwon grasped his forearm as her face grimaced in pleasure. Then she let out a soft whisper.

Seokju chuckled as his hips began to move faster. The humid air grew even more dense. Beads of sweat trickled down his forehead before dripping onto her lips. Jiwon began to shake to the rhythm of his movements as she licked her lips. She wanted to taste his sweat on her skin and brought her tongue up to taste it. Suddenly, Seokju painfully snatched her hair.

He looked at her with eyes so dark that they reminded her of a bottomless pit. However, she did not look away. As expected, he was feeling this as much as she was. She could feel it with her entire body. Seokju’s breathing grew frantic as the frown deepened on his face.

They were at a port at dawn. A silent tension filled the air. The only sound came from the sloshing waves that smelled like salt and fish. Only small fishing vessels seemed to use this harbor, and because of its smaller size, it was difficult to find a place to hide. The audacity of using such a place to make a transaction was alarming, but it was also a place that would not draw suspicion.

A portion of the detectives were hiding behind an old truck, looking out for any suspicious movements. The rest were inside a trailer on stand-by. Jiwon’s team was hiding inside a fishing store that stood at the entrance of the port.

They saw a flashing light, and Chief Hong checked the time. It was 2:10 AM.

“Two black vans are entering inside. Quickly look up the plates.”

With an earphone in his ear, Jiwon heard Chief Hong speak sharply into the walkie-talkie. Because she came from a different police force, she needed clear instructions. The other detectives already took this for granted, but they wanted to be led as straightforwardly as possible. Everyone wanted to make sure they did not miss this opportunity to move their case forward.

Chief Hong took the walkie-talkie and looked at Jiwon.

Jiwon put her gun away and carefully exited through the door. Chief Hong hid himself behind the dark store as he looked around. They could see that the large boat coming into the port was a newer model. It didn’t seem to suit the old harbor. The two vans they saw earlier entered the port and stopped. Jiwon tried to calm her tense heart and opened her dry lips.

“Chief, you explained last month’s situation to them, right?”

Once the transaction was being made, the police were going to pounce. In the meantime, Seokju was going to get on a jet boat and run off into the sea. Chief Hong saw the gleam in her eyes and clicked his tongue as he cursed.

“Do you think the police have the time to discern who to arrest and who to let go?”

Jiwon paled as Chief Hong shouted quietly with bulging eyes. Meanwhile, someone began to exit the boat. Jiwon drew in a ragged breath.

She could see the detectives quickly moving within the darkness. Because this was such an important case, they enlisted the manpower and resources of other police precincts. When she saw all the firearms, a shiver ran down her spine.

They weren’t giving them a chance to counterattack and had been planning on getting every last one of them from the very beginning. The moment Jiwon moved to run over, Chief Hong suddenly raised his voice.
