Chapter 55 – Episode 55 Trap (3)
“What on earth did you do? Drunk driving?”
Eunseo asked with a surprised look as she watched Yeji and her group stop a short distance away and be checked by a police car. He didn’t just say anything, but Mi-ju and Si-hyeon were equally curious.
“I like coffee a bit too much.”
Hye-hyeon took a sip of the coffee she was holding and continued her words.
“Among coffees, there is a type of coffee with alcohol called Einspener. It’s not common in our country, but the last time we went to a cafe, there was Einspener on the menu.”
Sihyeon exclaimed as if he had noticed something about her.
“Ah! The cafe I stopped by earlier was also that chain!”
“Yes, that’s right. That’s why I ordered it. When I ordered, I asked for additional alcohol, and to hide the taste, I added shots, added syrup, and mixed things up. It probably didn’t taste that good, Puheup .”
She told Hye-hyeon, who was giggling, that she was lucky that Eun-seo was there.
“Still, I wasn’t sure, but fortunately it worked out well. It wasn’t clear whether it was enough to get caught, and I may not have drank that much.”
“I expected that much.”
Hye-hyeon purchased a portable breathalyzer and tested her breath by drinking it herself once a day under various conditions. Fortunately, she was able to easily obtain a portable breathalyzer.
“And they say that when they drink the same amount, women get higher scores than men.”
“Could it be that you made that strange bet on purpose?”
“Yes. It did catch Yeji off guard, but when you tell her to hold her pee, she usually drinks water, right? Plus, I told her I’d even give her coffee. The less water in the body, the higher the alcohol level.”
“Oh my… Did you even have that in mind?”
“Well, as you said, I wasn’t sure. Instead, I was confident that if these conditions built up little by little, it would be enough.”
In front of them, Yeji, Zinc, and Sia got out of the car and were being investigated.
“I really didn’t drink it!”
“No matter how many times you blow it, it’s the same. If you exceed 0.03%, your license will be suspended. Since this is your first offense, you will probably end up with a fine, so don’t make it a bigger deal.”
“Ugh… Then, please do a blood test! There must be some misunderstanding. I just drank coffee and it shouldn’t come out. I think I also heard that caffeine comes out wrong.”
The police officer in charge sighed at Yeji’s defiance and guided the three to the police car.
“Okay, let’s do that. It’s best not to think that you’ll be detoxified while on the way to the hospital. It’s a short walk to the hospital, and your blood alcohol content is corrected according to the Widmark formula. And so far, the blood alcohol measurement has never been lower than the breath measurement. There was none.”
“Okay, we’re innocent.”
Alcohol was detected without any abnormalities in the blood test results conducted at the hospital. Because the number was not high and it was his first offense, he ended up with a license suspension and a fine.
After leaving the police station, the three of them each looked depressed and parted ways without saying a word. No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand it, but since I saw it with my own eyes, I had no choice but to follow the police’s words.
“Whoa…”
In front of Yeji’s house, which she arrived at with difficulty, Hyehyeon was waiting with her arms crossed.
“Why are you so late? You didn’t even answer the phone.”
It was already a tiring day, but looking at Hye-hyeon’s face her, her irritation, her, her rose.
“What? If it’s because of a bet, just get out of the way, I won.”
“Huh? After this long, it’s time for everything to dry even if you poop, not just pee, right? I went underwater without any contact, so I won, right?”
“Ha, are you going to play with words? Then you should have followed along or something?”
Ye-ji, who no longer had the strength to speak, tried to pass by Hye-hyeon and enter her house. However, she had no choice but to stop her movements when Hye-hyeon’s words came from behind her.
“Am I there? I don’t want to ride in a car driven by a drunk driver or a criminal? Oh, don’t be scared. A drunk driver is a would-be murderer.”
Yeji turned her head and glared at Hyehyeon, who was smiling with her eyes wide open.
“You…How did you do that?”
“Do you want to know?”
Yeji grabbed the collar of Hyehyeon, who was harassing her, and pushed her against the wall.
“Did you plan this? Tell me right away what you did!”
Even though she was being held by Yeji by the collar, Hyehyun still stared straight at Yeji with a relaxed expression.
“Do you want to know? Then, shall we exchange information?”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m curious too. How were you able to steal my phone and delete those files?”
“Well, that is…”
Hye-hyeon asked about Ye-ji deleting the data on her phone. There was no need to prepare for such a method anymore, so I didn’t have to worry too much about it, but I was curious about it for a while.
However, Yeji could not easily answer Hyehyeon’s question. She probably already knew that A-yeon was involved, but she didn’t want to know that teacher Hong Su-jeong was involved. She didn’t even want to say anything because her actions were not moral, just a neglect of her own actions.
‘But what if a breathalyzer test can still solve the problem?’
Obviously they didn’t drink alcohol. She said Hye-hyeon must have done something, but she may be able to nullify it depending on how she does it. She had no choice but to tell Hye-hyeon about the situation at that time.
“I handed in my cell phone during the test and deleted it in the teacher’s office before returning it. Because it was there.”
As she thought for a moment, Hye-hyeon remembered the scene on the last day where she ran out as soon as Ye-ji finished her exam.
“Oh, was that the time? The homeroom teacher must have kept the cell phone?”
“… I asked the teacher and got it.”
“Is that possible? Using someone else’s phone, not yours?”
“I told you it was the right thing to do. On the condition that you do it in front of the teacher.”
“Ha. That’s ridiculous.”
Hye-hyeon, who was exhausted, asked the last thing she was curious about.
“What did you do with the fingerprints?”
“When you turn your phone off and on, you first have to unlock it with a password or a pattern instead of your fingerprint. You set it as a pattern, so I gave you a gift voucher and made you use the phone pattern on purpose. . , And A-yeon was watching from behind.”
“You thought that far? Are you really a fool?”
Yeji blurted out something she couldn’t tell whether it was a compliment or an insult. This time, she asked what she was curious about.
“What did you do today? How did you know?”
Hye-hyeon, feeling the strength put into her collar her her her, which was still being held by her, smiled and answered.
“If you have any hope, wake up from your dream. “What you drank today was coffee with real alcohol in it.”
“What?!!”
Yeji’s eyes widened.
“There is a drink called Einspenner that contains alcohol. There aren’t many cafes that sell that menu item. Didn’t it taste strange? It must have been a mess because they asked for more alcohol and added various things, hehe.”
She couldn’t believe it even after hearing Hye-hyeon’s words her her her. She never imagined that such coffee existed. Her mistake her was that she had no suspicions as she placed and picked up her order her her her right before her eyes her her her.
“If you had to hold your pee, you must have been very thirsty, right? Your body must have had less water than usual. Then, they say the alcohol content was higher. Well, it may have been so small that it didn’ t make much of a difference.
Yeji was left speechless by a trap planned beyond her imagination. Perhaps, if Hye-hyun had told her in advance about the cafe she would meet today, Ye-ji would have searched for her cafe at least once. Then, there is a possibility that she will notice the alcoholic coffee, so she would have told you the meeting place only right beforehand.
“You, you! That’s really dangerous! Are you kidding?”
“I didn’t ride that much anyway. Wouldn’t it be time to worry about that?”
Yeji’s face changed into a complex expression as if she didn’t understand.
“Do you know what the most unacceptable behavior is in our country right now? It’s drunk driving. It’s the same as school bullying, but there’s an excuse that it goes both ways. Plus, since we’re in the business world, there’s a good chance we’ll just be buried. But what about drunk driving? It’s almost like a crime by association. You know that, right?”
The more she listened to Hye-hyeon, the more her Ye-ji’s hands began to tremble. Hye-hyeon struck her final blow, feeling the tremble of her premonition transmitted through her own throat.
“School violence, drugs, medical history corruption… Well, there’s nothing that gets talked about as much as drunk driving. Are you okay with life at work?”
The strength in Yeji’s hand that was holding Hyehyeon’s collar went out. She was just holding on to the collar of Hye-hyeon’s clothes, to the point where it felt like there was no pressure at all.
“The fatality is probably the same for Yushia, right? Was her target being a streamer? She seems to be doing quite well these days, but what do you think if her drunk driving conviction becomes known?”
Yeji’s expression turned into despair.
The situation has become several times worse than before. If the matter with Zinc is a moral issue, this is a legal issue. The worst crime is drunk driving. Of course, if it becomes known, it will inevitably be much more fatal.
In the case of politicians, they roughly exercise their right to remain silent and continue their activities. In the case of celebrities, they resume their activities after a few years of self-reflection. However, for businessmen, the standards are stricter than for them. And once you step down from the front line, it is difficult to come back. If things continue like this, the chances of being discovered are low. If it weren’t for Cheon Hye-hyeon in front of me.
“Then let’s see how well you listen to me. You may have lost a lot of sense during this time. Let go of my hands.”
Without saying a word, Yeji completely let go of Hyehyeon’s collar.
