44 Teacher Choi should know about her (2/2)
She opens her eyes and stares at the woods. ”You want to take that way when you have a car? Are you an idiot?”
”Do you know the other way?” He asks her curiously.
”You have never been to the academy?” She lets go of his arm. ”Are you visiting someone?”
”Yes, I am visiting a friend.” He gives his best smile to her. It looks like this person knows the way to the academy.
”Ah!” She puts her hands on her waist. ”I have been walking for too long. I don't know why they don't have bus service here. I don't want to walk through the damn forest. If I didn't meet you, I would have died before I reached that damn place.”
They walk back to his car. The girl gets into the car without hesitation or fear. Tae Il starts the car and asks her, ”Which way should we go?”
”Turn around.” She leans back on her seat. ”There is a road that directly goes to the academy. It's a longer route, but it's better than walking through the forest. I hope that you have enough gas.”
”Don't worry about that.” Tae Il turns the car around. ”Are you a student there?”
”Haha, No.” The girl laughs. ”I am a newly appointed teacher.”
”A teacher?” He stares at her. ”You are younger than me.”
”Am I?” She smirks at him. She changes the topic. ”My name is Bae Seul-Ki.”
”Seo Tae Il.” He raises his brow. ”Why is a teacher roaming around like this?”
”I took leave for my cousin's wedding.” She stretches her arms. ”Are you an actor or something? I feel like I have seen you in some drama.”
”I am.” Tae Il doesn't hide. ”I am not famous. I played some minor roles.”
”Ah!” She nods lightly. ”My aunt was also an actress. She was quite famous in her days. Now, she designs clothes and enjoys being rich. It's her daughter's wedding that I attended.”
This girl is quite chatty. Tae Il has no interest to know who her aunt was. He is only interested in finding Nam Ji Won. ”Which subject do you teach at the academy?”
”Take the next left.” Bae Seul-Ki looks out of the window with a knowing smile. ”Who are you visiting? Maybe I know that person.”
”You might know her.” Tae Il looks ahead. The roads are curvy and dangerous. He should keep his focus on the road. ”Her name is Nam Ji Won. She is studying traditional medicine.”
”Nam Ji Won.” She repeats the name. ”I have not met anyone with that name. She must have come after I left on the leave. Traditional medicine, is it? Teacher Choi should know about her.”
Teacher Choi? Choi Min Ho? He remembers that name.
