Chapter 129 - Dae Won Must Live (2/2)

She sat down, opening the photos and watching Kang Dae, her neighbor Kang Dae, fighting with a famous rapper at the Fashion Ball. ”What did you do, Eun Ha and Kang Dae?!”

Abandoning household chores, Ye Rim went down to the Yoo's grocery store as quickly as she could. How could they do such a risky thing?!

But Chang Mi was alone in the grocery store, closing doors to end the shift.

”Ye Rim Noona ...?” he asked suspiciously, and Ye Rim was sure he knew everything.

”Chang Mi, where's your brother? What did those two get that your brother is in all the magazines? How did your brother hit a celebrity?”

”Technically, it wasn't him, but an actor named Ryan Lee,” Chang Mi replied with a chuckle. Ye Rim threatened him with a fist,

”You're hilarious, but they don't stop calling after him. Where is he?”

”Well noona, Kang Dae is in hiding. Things didn't go very well for him after he went into hiding with noona Eun Ha, but ended up showing off shirtless nationwide! He's really, really in trouble, and it's neither the paparazzi nor the rapper that worries him!” the mocking boy shrugged as he finished his job.

Ye Rim imagined that if Kang Dae was in trouble, Eun Ha had better never need a lettuce again in her  life. Mrs. Yoo, a widow who ran the grocery store with iron hands and was known for being highly jealous of her sons. At the same time, she admired her friend's audacity and nerve.

”But where is noona, anyway?” asked Chang Mi.

”This afternoon, musician Lee Dae Won and plastic surgeon Kim Jun Hyeon had an accident on the access road ...” as soon as the anchorman spoke, in the evening newspaper, Ji Hyeon thought she'd pass out again, but she struggled not to panic and hear the news until the end. It was important, and perhaps it was the only time she would see this news on television.

”... the doctor is doing well, but the musician is under observation. According to the medical record, he is not at risk of death but should remain hospitalized for a few days. The car accident caused a two-kilometer traffic jam tonight on the access road…”

”Oh! OH!  Doing Well! He's Doing well! Wohoo! That means everything is fine! It's okay with Jun, that's it. Calm down now girl. Calm down. Dae Won didn't kill Jun. In fact, he was the  one in observation. Hahaha, he got hurt! Hahahaha!” Ji Hyeon laughed at the irony. Her twin was fine, and Dae Won…

But then an important fact fell with the weight an anvil on her head.

'If something happens to that bastard Dae Won, am I going to remain locked up here until I die? Am I going to… die here from starvation?'

Ji Hyeon ran to the shelves and the fridge, to check her food supply. It wasn't much. Dae Won always brought ready-made meals, and all she had  in the bas.e.m.e.nt were snacks, fruit and shakes. Nor did she have a lot of drinking water either. But, how long would he be gone?

But if something happened to Dae Won, and it impeded him to return home, someone would inevitably come to the house, right?

Probably.

But ... How long would it take for someone to think about visiting the bas.e.m.e.nt?

Ji Hyeon did not believe that one day she would look forward to the return of her jailer.
