After 12 Hours

Broken Flower (3)

The beggar man pauses to have a cigarette. I watched him in the sandwich shop. Taking a closer look, there was one more suspicious thing. It's mid-August. It was still time for the horseshoe heat, but I was wearing a dark windshield.

‘It's suspicious.'

I wanted to take a close look at the windshield. Inside the windshield, something like a stick was creating shadows. Something, something long that will make you catch an angle. Normally, I would have thought of a small book or a large smartphone. But this morning,

‘The unsub approached Mr. Oh Hyun-joo wearing a 6 inch mask and stabbed her in the upper abdomen with a sharp weapon two or three times before escaping. ’

For me to see the article, the outline looked 100% like a weapon. I suddenly, when I was in middle school. It reminded me of the conversation my father, the leading criminal, sat down with me and my brother.

*

Sang-hoon! Sang-hoon!

“Your father. ”

“Your father."

“You've been training on our stadium... for... what year? ”

My brother and sister have been stamped on my father since they were very young. We used to live in the province, but everyone was around Taekwondoni Piano. For parents who were poor, it would have been a natural choice to send their own stamp rather than send another private education.

“Seven years.”

“Five."

When he heard that, he scratched his head for a moment. My father made a look on my face and told us that years had passed.

“That... I always say, induction is about exercising your own mind. I'm not learning to hit people. ”

At that point, I saw a crystal to heal. In elementary school, Crystal was a sixth-grader who carried a girl and a tall boy who teased her with the skills learned on the stamp. Apparently, my father summoned my brother and sister to say it back.

"The crystal got me into this mess..."

I grumbled in my gut. After seven years of guidance, I've never beaten anyone but duel time.

“You have to use induction technology when you really can't help it. Don't make fun of yourself... or make fun of yourself. Do you understand?”

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

“I'm saying this because I'm worried about you. As you all know, induction skills work for the right person. No matter how skillful you are, it's hard to beat an opponent who weighs 20kg and 30kg. ”

I glanced at the crystal slightly.

‘I'm asking you to listen. The boys you hit will be 10 centimeters taller and 20 centimeters taller than you. ’

Crystal knows she's a target and says she's a little grassy.

“Yes...”

“Then I understand. ”

My father tried to get up from that position, but he said one more word to see if he suddenly remembered.

“Ah. And when you see someone with a weapon, run. No matter the weight class. If any fighter's disciples come across a robber with a weapon, it's best to run. No matter how clumsy the weapon is, it could be fatal. Okay?"

As I listened to my father, I suddenly asked him a question.

“When a man without a weapon meets a robber? ”

“At that time...”

At that time, I saw the scene in the back and my mother intervened.

“Run away then. Don't let anything get in the way. ”

My father shakes his head.

“That's a crazy dance...”

However, at that time, Mother slapped Father on his back once.

“Dancing bastards. With nothing of value in the family...”

The father who was beaten on his back didn't say anything. My mother told me about such a father.

“Forget it. Sang-hoon, you have to stop stamping. I'm in high school now. I have to study. ”

The man was smoking in a row like he was nervous. With every slight movement, you can clearly see the silver in the windshield. The longer the object went up, the more the end recessed.

‘That's a 100% weapon. ’

The user attacks the target with bare skin. This move is extremely reckless.

I think we should call the police.

I saw the clock. 8: 20. We're 30 minutes away from the crime. We have to do something to prevent crime. But it was then. Suddenly, the man ran towards Huddah, somewhere.

What the hell?

There was still 30 minutes left, and I chased him with my eyes. The man suddenly headed for the subway station.

What is it? What's wrong with her? ’

I put away the sandwich I was eating and went outside the sandwich house. But it was then.

* Burp *

In front of me, there was a big van. A van with a triangle that's bigger than most people. After a while, the van's door opened.

“Then I'll be back. It'll take about half an hour. ”

I heard a voice. A tall, clear woman's voice. I look familiar. For a moment I thought about where I heard this voice.

‘TV.'

As soon as I gave the answer, time stopped. No, I felt like time had stopped. Ever since that van was unloaded by a woman with the most incredible beauty. Tall, but small face. From neck to forehead, skin glows like a lily blossom, not to mention the beauty of each and every one of them. I was overwhelmed by its beauty and had to settle for a moment.

Meanwhile, she passed by me smelling the fragrance of a mild perfume. At that moment, I turned my head behind her without even knowing it. Like holding a hot pot and taking your hands off it, like closing your eyes when you see something sharp coming. There couldn't have been a more primitive movement. After that, I was about three seconds. I watched her go inside the Chu hospital.

The funny thing is, I wasn't the only one. The passers-by around me, including myself, were male and female, and regardless of gender, Earl went out to see her. And when she opened the door to the hospital, the rest of us just got iced up. They began to move as they did.

“Did you see that? Oh Hyun-joo. Oh Hyun-joo. She's a goddess...”

“I saw it. I was so out of my mind. I almost drooled. ”

“I thought I'd stopped time, too. ”

“Me, too. I'm not a person, really...”

And so, her beauty showed off her enormous existence as if she were putting a time stop on everyone around her. I woke up once, shaking my head a few times. In the meantime,

"Boom!"

The van that was driving her immediately lowered her exhaust and ran somewhere. I had to look at that van to wake up a little bit.

‘When I saw the manager's car arriving on the side of Nonhyeon Road, I reported that it was a planned crime by someone I knew, including a point of entry into the crime, and went on to investigate. ’

That van, too, was in the article.

That's the manager's car. He'll be back in 30 minutes. So...? ’

I looked at the subway. The unsub must have seen the manager's car and snuck into the subway station. That means you know the manager's car.

How do you know the manager's car... a stalker? ’

That's when he showed up at the subway station. I saw him. He was staring at the gate of the Chu hospital where Oh Hyun-joo entered, regardless of my concern. Touching something in your arms.

"He is 100% the culprit..."

I'm completely convinced now. Slightly away from the subway station where he is, I picked up my phone. I think I have to report it.

‘Let's just say the man with the knife is standing in front of the hospital. I haven't seen Carl in person... but I've seen him in the article. That should be enough to identify you and report you. ’

When I thought about it, I took 112 pictures on my phone again.

‘I might get in trouble for this. ’

I thought about it.

‘Now people are going to die, that's the problem. ’

I pressed the call button as I thought.

“112 police. ”

“There's a man standing in front of Chu hospital with a weapon. Why don't you come and investigate? ”

“A weapon? What kind of...? ”

“I don't know, it looked like a knife with a sparkle. ”

To be honest, I didn't see 'sparkle’, but I made up a horse entirely relying on the article that came out in '12 hours.'

“I put on my hat. I'm wearing a black mask. I'm wearing a windshield. I'm worried about stabbing someone, so please come quickly. ”

“Yes, sir. ”

I checked the time after the call. 8: 30. 20 minutes before the crime. I watched him from a short distance from the subway. He was wandering around the subway station, looking at the hospital. But I was. A police car approaches this way.

I've been on the phone with 112 for less than five minutes. Hans, who was standing in front of the hospital, looked at the police car, saw him coming towards him and hurriedly went inside the subway. The two officers who got out of the police car saw their cars and ran away. The two people looked at each other and said something, and one of them chased him into the subway along the way.
