Hwang Mi-na and Park Un-young sat face to face at a draft beer house in front of Hongdae.

"Hey, you gizzard! Just drink him!"

"It's nice, isn't it? It's raining outside."

"You're in big trouble because you have a soft heart. I'm worried if it's because I grew up without any ups and downs at home. I'm worried that if anything bad happens, you'll only drink like this."

"No. I just wanted to drink today.”

"Give it a big hand. Do you know what netizens said when they saw my work when the drama aired?"

"What did you say?"

"Is this a work? It would be better if I used my feet, is Hwang Mina a writer? Seeing that Hwang Mi-na wrote dangerous couples, she is a woman who has been married many times. That's good? Seeing that the portrayal of an affair is real, she must know the taste of it."

"Kick, kick!"

"There was this, too. I saw Hwang Mi-na in person, and I hope she doesn't remember when she eats. There are dozens of these things running every day."

"You must have had a hard time, too."

"Now that I'm older, I'll let it go. It's too much for young people to handle it. Will celebrities in their early 20s kill themselves? That's because you're popular."

"It's suspicious that Kang Myo-ja went. There's a good chance she's gossiping about me to the executives in the announcer's office."

"If you're a tomboy, you can do that. She has a wide range of feet because she is a man who goes around looking for money, putting aside all her efforts for the sake of chaebol. Her husband says he's stuck with her."

"The room was visited by Kang Myo-ja last month. I bought a cake."

"It must have been because of G Group's bungled matchmaking. Of course you refused. Otherwise, it wouldn't be my friend Park Un-young."

"I told my mom not to take such a thing. Then a few days ago, he brought ribs to my house.”

"You must have been running all over your mother again."

"My mom must have told me the truth the next day when Kang Myo-ja made an appointment with her mother to meet with the G group Mangani. There's a guy you're dating.“

"This time, the Gangmyo must have jumped."

"Mom must have told me she even had a couple ring."

"You'd better make sure you refuse."

"That's why he's so mean because things seem to be wrong. I doubt Kang Myo-ja for her photosynthesis. Isn't your husband a photographer, although he was originally a producer at a broadcasting station?"

"It's bad to doubt, but I think there's plenty of probability.”

"You're supposed to be scolded and sprinkled with chili powder."

"I'm sure so. Maybe if you got a fat envelope from Group G's hoodie."

"Mina, let's have another drink."

"Stop it. What's wrong with you today?"

"Mr. President! I'd like another 500CC here!"

"Even if you graduated from Seoul National University, I don't think you're fit to live in a tough world. I'm so shocked and drunk."

"I think the people at the station think I'm weird, too.”

"That's a load of shit. That's because you think so. You probably need a fence like Choi."

"Captain Choi? He's a good man. But until we get married..."

"With a couple ring on, it's terrible again. You found the treasure. Choi isn't even from a rich family. It's a dragon that climbs up the gutter. Hold on to it! Don't mess with me."

"Well, my mother!"

"As expected, you're a kid playing in a mom's skirt. Life is yours, not yours! Let's stop standing up. I think it's raining too much outside."

"I want to walk in that rain."

"What?"

"I went to a reservoir with Mihyang last time with Songchu. The reservoir smelled good. I want to walk by the lake on a rainy day like this."

"He's finally gone mad!”

Hwang Mi-na was anxious because Park Un-young seemed to keep talking nonsense.

"Let's go! I'm very drunk."

"Yes. Let's go!"

Park Un-young staggered as she stood up.

"I'm too drunk. I'll walk you."

"It's all right. I can go well alone.”

Park Un-young, drunk, stumbled along the street in front of Hongdae.

Hwang Mi-na quickly ran into the convenience store and bought an umbrella.

"Write this down and go. You'll catch a cold if you get rained on! Be careful and walk!"

Hwang Mi-na also took a taxi back home in Mapo.

Park Un-young was worried.

And I searched for Park Unyeong sitting in front of the desk. Park Un-young was still on the real-time search list. There were really vicious grasses attached.

"You deserve to be shocked at this level of evil. Will Park Un-young, who grew up only in a greenhouse, be able to handle it?"

Hwang Mi-na called Park Un-young.

I wanted to say, "Did you get home safely?" and "Cheer up."

Park Un-young, however, did not answer the phone, although the signal continued to go on. The phone seemed to be off at all.

Hwang Mi-na was anxious.

"Is it possible that Yeh fell down somewhere and got into an accident while staggering drunk?"

Hwang Mi-na had all sorts of thoughts.

Hwang Mi-na wanted to call Park Un-young's mother, but she doesn't know her mother's phone number.

Then I remembered that there was a phone call from Park Un-young's mother a month ago.

Hwang Mi-na went to Park Un-young's house since she was young and lived like a family with her parents. So I remembered a month ago when Park Un-young's mother told him to eat something with red pepper paste in it. It was because when the phone rang, the phone number of the other person was printed.

Fortunately, the phone call from my mom was still ringing.

Hwang Mi-na made the phone call.

"Are you mother? This is Mina."

"Oh, it's Mina."

"I want to ask you something. Are you sleeping now?"

"I haven't come in yet. I always call home when I'm late, but I don't even have a phone."

Hwang Mi-na was alert but could not express herself.

"Where are your friends meeting?"

Then I hung up.

Hwang Mi-na was anxious.

It was on my mind that I was going in a drunken and disorganized position. Park's posture was not disturbed at all, but it was not the same day.

I tried calling again.

The signal was going. I think I played with my cell phone vibrating.

During the broadcast, Park often vibrates his cell phone. And then sometimes shaking off to sometimes forgotten is required.

Hwang Mi-na couldn't sleep.

Thinking about this and that, it was almost midnight.

The bell rang.

[Bad Gi-bae, I think you just saw my phone call.]

By the way, the phone was not Eunyeong, but Unexpectedly Eunyeong was the mother.

"Mina? I can't keep in touch with Eunyeong. Is she picking up anywhere?”

Hwang Mi-na was surprised but relieved her mother for now.

"I guess he's in a hurry to contact the house. Don't worry too much."

"But it's past midnight and I'm worried. It's raining!"

"I may have fallen asleep while chatting at my friend's house. I'll check it out."

"Yes, please. I'm sorry."

"No, Mother."

Hwang Mi-na sensed that Eun-young was in a car accident.

Or, he thought that he was hit hard in front of Hongdae because there were many entertainment bars.

Hwang Mi-na was going to call 112 and then quit.

It was because it became known that announcer Park Un-young was knocked down while drinking.

Then, the announcer's activities would be fatal.

"What are you going to do?"

Hwang Mi-na just stood up and hovered around the room.

Then, he called somewhere without realizing it.

* *

I was sleeping at Jaipat in Dorim-dong when the phone rang.

"Who calls me in the middle of the night!"

I stopped sleeping and got up and tried to hang up the phone.

I thought the caller was Yang Sung-mo or Hwang Byung-chul.

However, the sender was unexpectedly Hwang Mi-na.

I picked up the phone quickly. Hwang Mi-na's urgent voice was heard.

"This is Hwang Mi-na. I'm sorry late at night."

"No, thanks."

"The operation is gone now."

"What do you mean Unyeong is gone?”

"There was something bad going on at the station today. So we drank together in front of Hongdae, and Eunyeong didn't come home."

Only then did I come to my senses.

"When did you break up?”

"We broke up around 9 p.m. I'm a little drunk today because Eunyeong is upset. I was nervous about the rain, but I wasn't worried about the proximity of my house, but I don't know what happened."

I looked at the clock. It was past twelve o'

I could hear Hwang Mi-na's voice constantly.

"It's a rude idea, but I'm afraid we've been in an accident. I tried to report 112, but I couldn't because I was afraid it would be rumored. So I'm going to ask for help from Mr. Choi."

said Hwang Mi-na in a tearful voice.

"Where was the last place you broke up?"

"It's the pub in front of the hoe in the woods of the cafe."

"Okay, I'll go there."

"I'm sorry, and I don't know if this is a reference, but he said he wanted to walk around the reservoir in Songchu because it's raining a lot today."

"What?"

I thought Eun-young was such an immature woman.

Women, however intelligent they may be, have doubts about how they behave when they become emotional. Then, I thought that I might have been hit hard in front of Hongdae because there were many entertainment restaurants.

It was because it was dangerous for a pretty woman dressed in luxurious clothes to walk alone at night when it was raining.

I quickly dressed up and went down to the garage.

And I drove my car to Hongdae. It was still raining.

The traffic decreased after 12 o'clock, so we arrived at the forest hoe in front of Hongdae soon.

The bars in front of Hongdae were still nightly.

Although one or two houses were out of fire, many were in business.

I pulled over by the side of the road and ran the line from the hoe in the forest to the house of Eunyeong.

There was no sign of Eun-young anywhere.

I searched through alleys and side streets, but there were none.

I called Hwang Mi-na.

"I've gone two laps from the hoe in the woods to the alley where Eunyeong's house is, and there's no sign of it.”

"Then did he really go to the reservoir? There's a valley in Songchu, but I didn't hear there was a reservoir. Do you know Mr. Choi?"

I thought that Eunyeong might go to the cafe dangung in front of Gisan Reservoir and drink coffee. I thought that there would be an atmosphere of coffee in such a cafe on a rainy night.

On the other hand, I was moved to go to the place where Eunyeong and I went together again.

I said to Hwang Mi-na.

"I'll go to Songchu first."

"It's raining, so be careful driving."

"Okay."

As expected, it came to Songchu very soon. The rain seemed to be on and off.

I came from Songchu to Kisan Reservoir. I thought it would be dark around the reservoir, but it was fortunate that there were streetlights in places because it was an area with cafes.

The cafe's dangung had lights on outside, but the inside was off.

The business is over.

I took an umbrella and a light out of the trunk behind the car. Then I circled around the lake.

There was a sound of worms around the lake.

The streetlights were not seen this way, so I was walking carefully, and I could see a person crouching on a seat for anglers.

There was a person sitting on the left with an umbrella and looking only at the surface of the lake.

a burning night
