[Year-Round] Yogurt Lady 34

Chapter 34 – Episodes 5-6

Sohee’s family gathered in front of the dinner table. Sohee, Hyeoncheol, and Seongah were all silent.

Only the clattering sound of spoons and dishes clinking together was heard quietly on the table.

Sohee looked at Seongah’s feelings and removed the bones from her fish and placed it on top of the rice. Then Seong-ah raised her eyes in annoyance, as if So-hee had done something wrong.

“Am I a kid? Why is this happening all of a sudden?”

“Oh, look at him. “Can’t Mom put some thorns on me?”

“I take care of it and eat it. Why are you meddling?”

“Meddling, that’s crazy. “I’m going to burn it all out.”

Hyuncheol next to him could have tried to stop them, but like dogs barking for no reason, Hyeoncheol didn’t pay much attention to the noise they made.

Sohee, who didn’t want to argue needlessly, changed the topic in a friendly tone.

“By the way, Mijeong said that. “You quit tutoring because of job preparation.”

“Uh.”

“Maybe try reducing the tutoring time. Are you too busy to quit altogether? Mi-jeong asked for that for Jun-woo’s entrance exam, but if she suddenly breaks her promise, trust between people will be destroyed.”

Trust between people is broken… As if pointing out what happened between Jun-woo and Seong-ah, there was a thorn hidden in So-hee’s words.

Seong-ah pretended not to hear her and stirred her rice, breaking it into pieces with chopsticks. The fish that Sohee served was still there.

“Ah, the food doesn’t taste good. “I want to stop eating.”

Seongah put down her chopsticks. Sohee didn’t say anything more to Seongah as she entered her room.

Sohee wanted to know the ins and outs of what happened between Junwoo and Seongah. However, I consoled myself by saying that sometimes it is better to ignore things without knowing. My heart broke when I thought about the video I saw in Sokcho, but I decided to just believe Junwoo’s words. That it was a momentary mistake and that everything has now been sorted out.

I thought about what happened with Junwoo. Have we truly reconciled? Can we treat what happened to each of us as if it never happened and go back to the way things were? It seems like Jun-woo doesn’t know the details of what happened with Young-ho, but if he finds out everything about it, will he feel the same way?

Thoughts about Youngho also came to mind. Although Jun-woo said he gave the scolding, we still don’t know how Young-ho will come out. What about being threatened to take a video and send it? The only person who would do something like that comes to mind is Si-hwan. They’re talking about recruiting Hyuncheol, but what is he going to do with that video?

In the silence, Hyuncheol opened his mouth.

“Mom, how are you these days?”

“Nothing much. Why?”

“No, just. How are you and Junwoo?”

“Uh.”

Hyuncheol tried to read even the slightest change in Sohee’s expression. Sohee really looked like nothing had happened.

The video he saw in Si-hwan’s car during the day continued to bother Hyeon-cheol. I wanted to ask about what happened with Youngho, but I couldn’t speak.

I felt like I wanted to beat Youngho up to death right now. But when I think about it, Si-hwan was right. Hasty action can cause harm to yourself and your mother.

What if Jun-woo really encouraged Yeong-ho to threaten his mother and Si-hwan? I don’t think he would ever do that, but perhaps because I saw a shocking video, I kept thinking that what Si-hwan said might be true.

“I’m full too. “I’ll go in.”

Hyeoncheol also put down his spoon and entered the room. Normally, Hyuncheol would step in and do the dishes, but today the atmosphere was strange.

Sohee, left alone, sighed loudly in her heart.

The family of three was unaware of the individual sighs that filled the air in each room and living room.

Junwoo wore a light hoodie and shorts and went near Youngho’s house.

I sat on a bench in an apartment complex with my hood over my head and stuck a straw into my yogurt.

Even though it was night, the summer heat had not cooled down and there were very few people passing by. I sucked on a straw and looked up at Youngho’s house. The light was on in the living room.

I tried to organize my thoughts about the current situation, but there were too many things Junwoo didn’t know. Thoughts could not be answered and only remained as questions.

I actually came, but I had no plans. There were only vague expectations and worries, wondering if I might witness evidence that Young-ho was being threatened, or if something else would happen between So-hee and Young-ho.

Stephen Curry caught the ball! The score was 97 to 99. 5 seconds remaining. Curry slowly crosses the halfway line. However, he is already surrounded by three defenders and cannot move! There are 3 seconds left. Beating a defender with a flashy dribble, simple fake motion using eyes and elbows, ah, it’s beautiful. But I don’t have time. I have to throw it. 2 seconds, 1 second, shoo~!

The empty yogurt container that Tang and Junwoo threw hit the edge of the trash can and bounced off.

Junwoo rushed over and picked up the yogurt container. Jump in place and shoot again, go! Stephen Junwoo Curry catches the bouncing ball with 0.1 seconds remaining and ultimately succeeds. 100-99, a thrilling come-from-behind victory!

At that time, a familiar silhouette caught my eye from over there. Youngho was walking, carrying a bag full of snacks and sucking on ice cream.

‘You’re eating really disgustingly. ‘You said you were being threatened, but you’re so calm?’

Junwoo slowly turned around and pulled his hood down over his eyes. Youngho, not seeing Junwoo, waddled into the apartment entrance.

‘Was it a lie to say that I was being threatened? Okay, earlier I skipped over it because meeting Sohee was my priority, but this time I hit it hard and made him confess.’

Stephen Junwoo Curry, Junwoo’s imaginary character who is a basketball player by day but works as a mixed martial arts fighter late at night, slowly walked forward.

Buaaaaang – Junwoo turned around at the sound of a car breaking the silence of the night. A black van came running and screeched to a halt behind Youngho.

Youngho is caught by two men before he can even look back. Junwoo’s eyes widened.

“Wooow…!”

Youngho tried to free his mouth, but it was no use.

The van carrying Youngho closed the door and quickly drove off. It happened in a short period of time, less than 10 seconds.

Junwoo, who had been standing blankly, quickly came to his senses and ran after the van.

As I passed through the main gate of the apartment complex, I saw a taillight turn to the right and disappear. I ran to the intersection and saw a van in the distance heading toward the mountain behind Junwoo’s high school.

‘Was what Youngho said true?! Am I going to be killed for not being able to film Sohee’s sex video.?!’

I was scared, but I thought I couldn’t leave Youngho, who had stood up for Sohee and me.

He shadow-boxed with light steps and relaxed his neck and wrists. With eyes full of determination, I stared in the direction where the van disappeared. I pictured a confrontation scene with gangsters before my eyes. Then he naturally took out his cell phone and dialed 112.

As I was about to press the call button, the phone rang. It was Hyeoncheol.

“Oh, Hyeoncheol. What’s going on?”

“Do you want to come out for a moment? “Let’s talk.”

“Uh, is this something we need to talk about when we meet? “If it’s not urgent, can we talk later?”

“Are you busy?”

“A little.”

“What are you doing?”

“That’s…”

I thought it would be better to tell Hyuncheol the truth. As this is a case where someone targeted Sohee and threatened her, Hyuncheol will also take action. I felt secure when I was with Hyeoncheol.

“Then can you come to my high school? Youngho is going there now…”

“Huh?!”

A look of confusion was evident in Hyuncheol’s voice.

Junwoo quickly walked away and explained the whole story.

Youngho was kidnapped and taken to the mountain behind the school. He was told that he had been threatened by someone to do something bad to Sohee. When Youngho refuses to do this, he seems to be harmed.

Hyuncheol put his cell phone to his ear and ran towards the mountain behind the school.

“Hyuncheol, we will handle it today. “On the hill behind your school.”

“Heo Young-ho and Jang Jun-woo?”

“Okay. You said you wanted to check it yourself? Come check it out and see where they go.”

“I will take Junwoo with me.”

“Hehe~ I like your attitude of actively participating. “As expected of our wonderful little brother.”

30 minutes ago, after hanging up the phone with Si-hwan, Hyeon-cheol thought. Shouldn’t I at least talk to Junwoo? It’s a matter of people’s lives being exchanged. Moreover, Junwoo is the person his mother loves.

After hesitating for a while, Hyeon-cheol called Jun-woo.

But strangely enough, Jun-woo tells Hyeon-cheol to come towards the school. Hyuncheol hung up the phone and got dressed amidst many questions.

“Gasp… Gasp…”

Hyeoncheol took a deep breath and approached Junwoo, who was standing in front of the back gate of the school.

Junwoo welcomes him with his hand raised. Hyuncheol grabbed Junwoo by the collar.

“Whoops – Hyeoncheol, why are you like this.?!”

“From now on, answer everything I ask straight. Without a single lie. Otherwise, you will die here.”

“Huh.?”

“Did you ask Youngho to do that because you threatened his mother?”

Even though the collar was tightening around his neck, Junwoo could not hide his puzzled expression.

“Where did you hear such strange things? Why did I do that to Aunt Sohee?”

“I don’t know. No matter how much you look inside a person, you cannot find out.”

“The other guys said they made Youngho do it, but he said he didn’t do anything like that. That’s why I was taken away!”

Hyeon-cheol wanted to believe in Jun-woo, but the circumstances did not say otherwise.

Youngho clearly raped Sohee and filmed it. From there, what Junwoo said was wrong. Then why did Junwoo casually ask me to come here? Did he think I would help him without knowing the situation?

Hyeon-cheol was confused between his doubts and his faith in Jun-woo.

Swish- Swish-

The flashlight moved left and right, scanning Junwoo and Hyeoncheol. The light was shining from the mountainside.

I vaguely saw a group of people gathered there. I could sense that they were the people who dragged Youngho.

Hyuncheol let go of Junwoo’s collar and pointed to that place with his chin.

“Let’s go up and talk.”

Hyuncheol’s behavior was strange, as if he knew everything about the situation, but it was difficult for Junwoo to judge what was strange right now. Only the fear of the kidnappers weighed on Junwoo.

“Are you okay?” “Let’s call the police first.”

“Don’t worry. The guilty one will be punished, and the innocent one will be safe.”

Junwoo weighed Hyeoncheol against them. Even if the opponent was many gangsters, it seemed like it could be possible with Hyeon-cheol.

Junwoo took shaky steps following Hyeoncheol, who was quickly climbing the mountain.

When he reached the clearing where they were, Junwoo’s head stood on end.

Si-hwan, flipping his long hair and puffing away at a cigarette, and three men standing holding shovels.

In front of him, Youngho was buried in the ground with only his head exposed. Youngho was so beaten that his face was almost unrecognizable.

When Si-hwan saw Hyeon-cheol, he smiled brightly and opened his arms.

“Oh my, my little brother is here. “You’ve done a good job of recruiting the people behind it.”

Brother? And what about the forces behind it? Jun-woo looked at Si-hwan and Hyeon-cheol alternately with a puzzled expression.

Hyuncheol turned his head and spoke quietly to Junwoo.

“I trust you. No, I want to believe it.”

Then he knelt down on one knee in front of Youngho.

“Heo Young-ho. I ask directly. “You threatened my mother, raped her, and filmed the video, right?”

“Ugh. Ugh…”

“I can’t hear anything. Yes or no, answer with your head.”

Youngho moved his head up and down with difficulty. His blood and saliva flowed from the corner of his swollen mouth.

Saliva seemed to be flowing from Junwoo’s mouth as he watched the scene. Did Youngho really threaten and rape Sohee?

Hyuncheol pressed his temple with his thumb as if he was in pain and then asked Youngho again.

“For money?”

Youngho’s raised eyes looked at Sihwan, not Hyeoncheol. Youngho’s face was contorted into a bizarre shape that made it difficult to tell whether he was smiling or crying.

Ugh. Letting out a short cry, Youngho nodded his head.

Hyuncheol took one look at Junwoo and asked the last question out loud, as if he was deliberately trying to make him listen.

“Are you the one who planned and ordered that, Jang Jun-woo over there?”

Youngho nodded as if he would use his last remaining strength to tell the truth.

This is Merson 12… Junwoo’s mouth opened silently like a fish in a fish tank.

Hyeon-cheol wakes up in the dark. To Junwoo, it looked like a hungry tiger.

“Ah. No, Hyeoncheol! Hey Youngho Heo! What kind of bullshit are you talking about?! “What do you want me to order?!”

If we could, we would all hold hands and go to a state-of-the-art neuroscience research institute, take out the brain, derive and analyze memory data through brain waves… I don’t know if that’s possible, but I wanted to do something anyway.

The middle of Jun-woo’s pants got soaked from Hyeon-cheol’s approaching murder.
