Chapter 265 - The First Night Shoot (1/2)

10 p.m., somewhere near the Han River.

Yeo Ri, Park Jung Ho, and Won was at the centre of a crowd, with at least four cameras pointing at them. The setting of the scene was as such—

—Three teens were lugging around their baggages as they ran away from the patrolling police officers who had caught them loitering around after getting kicked out of a communal bath and sauna.

It was nighttime, and because they were underaged, they couldn't stay overnight at the sauna without a guardian. Not even 'Ji Soo', who was nearly legal, could save their backs. In the end, they could only try to brainstorm on places where they could sleep in safely.

”'I swear, if we have to sleep under a bridge or in a tunnel somewhere—'”

”'Well, what can we do? It's not like we have a lot of money. We need to save up if we want to survive for at least the next few days,'” Won sighed. He looked annoyed as if he was thinking about how much farther he had to go along with the farce that was their situation.

”'Or... or maybe... we can just give up and go to the school field trip like we said we would?'” Park Jung Ho raised his tone as if he was hopeful that the other two would agree with his proposal.

”'No!'” Yeo Ri immediately rejected. ”'It's only been a day and you want to give up?! We're supposed to be running away; how could we ever change something if we just go back with tails between our h.i.p.s!'”

Won sighed. ”'It's legs—tails between our legs,'” he corrected the bimbo. ”'And fancy hearing that from someone who decided to run away just because daddy won't buy you the thing you want.'”

”'You—!'” Yeo Ri flared, pursing her lips angrily.

”'Guys! Guys, guys, guys! Stop fighting! C'mon, we're all in this together. We should be sticking together and take care of one another instead of fighting. It's us against the world now, c'mon, don't be so mean to each other, please?'” Park Jung Ho coaxed his two friends pleadingly.

The two frenemies glared at each other for a few moments before deciding to harrumph and look away. The two mirrored each other, both crossing their arms across their c.h.e.s.t and turning their bodies away.

”'Guys...'” Park Jung Ho sighed.

”'Geez! No phone, no money, and I can't even use my credit card! This sucks!'” Yeo Ri cried out her grievances.

”'And you still don't wanna go home! B*tch!'” Won snapped. He displayed a frustrated look as if he was sick and tired of her unreasonableness.

Park Jung Ho, too, seemed tired of their bickering. He moved to placate them. ”'Gu—'”

”'—Hey, you kids! What are you doing loitering around at 2 a.m.?!'”

A patrolling policeman caught sight of them. Judging from their obviously young faces and the bright pink suitcase the young girl had by her side, it was clear that these were impressionable school kids who decided to stay out for the night... or many nights. Adding to that, it was even more suspicious that the trio was a mix of two boys and a girl, making it seem as if they were up to no good.

”'You wait right th—hey! Stay there, you hooligans! You're all coming with me to the station and I'll call your parents! Stop—!'”

Noticing the policeman, the three immediately bounced on their heel, running away again for the second time that night.
