“Looks like a lot of people are donating. ”

“There aren't many. There are steady people. ”

“The kids are well-dressed, and the kindergarten is nice. ”

“Our anthropomorphic source.”

An evolutionary-rich head interfered with my words.

He looks like he's in his mid-30s, but he acts like a decent old lady.

It means a little burdensome.

“One child, one child's life is precious. Being human. To do that, you have to maintain a minimum of dignity. ”

A window into the courtyard where she could see.

Young people who appeared to be employees were escorting the children inside.

Like a kindergarten, it seems that half of the children are separated from the timetable.

The ledger and the staff are quite extensive.

“Any questions? ”

“I'd like to see what a welfare facility looks like. I hope that's okay.”

“Of course, but it's a place where children live, so please protect their privacy. We'll only show you public places. ”

I stood up for evolution.

Then I looked around the study room, the multipurpose room, the restaurant, the playroom, etc.

Very well managed overall.

It seemed to be the only heaven in the world.

“Sir, I didn't get the sausage. ”

“Me, too!"

“I got it, but it's too small. ”

“Wait a minute.”

Just in time for dinner, the children stood in line with the table.

The exiting employee looked at the evolution in an embarrassing way.

She flicks her eyebrows slightly and gives me an office smile.

“Just a moment, please? Because of the kids' food. ”

“Of course. There's something as important as Bob. ”

Evolution left with its staff.

Little ones filled with restaurants. The twinkling eyes were all looking at me.

A child who was close to me came to me and smiled at me.

“Are you a guest, too? ”

“Well, yes. ”

“What are you doing here? ”

“Are you going to keep coming? ”

Baptism of children's questions pouring out.

I stepped back, unconscious.

I can't get used to the smell of black tails and the harsh insults of detectives all the time.

I said, gently taking the children away.

“Come on, let's eat. Hey, go eat. ”

“It's okay. We should all eat together. But I don't have any sausage, so I wait a long time for you to go. ”

I guess you don't control the amount of food very often.

Looking closely, it seems that the chairs and desks in the restaurant are also a little less than children.

I asked the kid in front.

“How's life here? ”

“Yes, I like the principal. I like the principal. I like the little teacher. ”

It may not be a bad environment for children themselves,

I feel a little uncomfortable being connected to Wang Onggi.

I took a slow look around as I confronted the children.

“Come on. Let's get in line. Wash your hands! ”

Then, the children came to eat in the other class.

Students who lead them.

Seeing that he was in uniform, he came to volunteer among his friends. You're so green.

I sat in a chair, watching him, and slowly got up.

Round nose and face like circumference. Gloomy eyes and unique curly hair.

“Best offender?”

“Yes?”

Suddenly, the boy turns his head to his name.

Oh, my God, why is he here?

“· · · Are you calling me? ”

Best offender, youngest in the cell.

The time we spent together was the shortest, but I was able to get along with my personality so well.

Of course, with that personality, I lived outside, eating people, etc.

The merchant looked at me and tilted his head.

It was a natural reaction since I had never seen him before.

“Sang-beom, do you know him? ”

A long-haired girl next to him stared at me alternately.

He's three years younger than Houn, so he's in middle school now.

Wow. I feel it every time I meet the brothers and sisters, but time is of the essence.

“Oh · · Well. ”

The merchant rolls his eyes and sees her and me.

Shit. The merchant I know would never serve Hahaha Hoho in a place like this.

Rather, he hated them. If so, his purpose is · ·

“Oh, you don't remember. I'm Ji-hoon. Your girlfriend next to you?”

The words "girlfriend" made me blush.

Khh. Good times! Damn it.

“Hey, I'm not your girlfriend. ”

The girl tried to deny it, but the atmosphere was already strange.

The moment he opened his mouth to say something, I quickly opened my wallet.

“Then maybe he's just a friend. Haha. My brother needs some allowance. ”

The ten thousand won was heavily handed over to the merchant.

He just frowned and then came close to me with a unique smile.

“Aha. Ji-hoon is my older brother.I was so busy, I didn't recognize him. ”

You son of a bitch. You've been a con man since you were a kid.

I tapped my shoulder to tell the merchant to follow me.

A small bench next to a basketball court.

I tried not to tease myself, but I felt cautious. You're still young.

“But who are you really? ”

I want to get out a cigarette, but I have to endure it because it's a place.

I shoved candy in my mouth instead.

“Well, you don't remember. I'm a mutual friend. ”

The one whose face is stiffened by what I say.

The mutual was the brotherhood of the common man.

A man who raised a merchant on behalf of his irresponsible parents, but left home suddenly because he was old enough to go to the military.

“Tongue, you and your brother are friends? ”

Unbelievable face. Of course I'm lying.

It feels a little weird to cheat on a future con artist.

Let's see · · Approximately the same age as junior high school.

Then it's been five years since each other left home.

“Can I get in touch with my brother? Uh, where's he doing? ”

“I'm sorry, I can't reach you either. ”

“Oh, I guess so. ”

He bites his lips as if he were upset.

He kept repeating himself in his past life.

When my brother disappeared, he said he was too young to do anything.

I thought something would be different if I went out there.

“What are you doing here, anyway? I don't think he's just here to serve. ”

“It's a service. Don't you see that? ”

An apron tied in front of you.

It is stained with paint and messy with dust.

I shaken my head and said:

“Yes, I can see that. You were trying to score points with him, weren't you? ”

“Huff!”

“She has a pretty face, a good personality, and I think she'll be good at studying. I feel like I'm being dragged away. Tsk.”

After roughly a few words, the merchant's eyes turned round.

And carefully approached me.

“Maybe · · · reader · something · ·? ”

“No, not at all. ”

That can't be right.

The merchant glares at you as if he were looking at a magician.

Hey, wait a minute. I've heard this before.

“Awesome. Can't I tell you? How to open your mouth! ”

He said he was interested in speaking when he saw a local merchant talking.

I don't have a good direction, but I've fallen for a con man.

Dammit. I think that's my role in this life.

I sighed and shaken my head.

Maybe it's a good thing.

At least you can't be a con artist if you're involved with me.

“You. How long have you been here? ”

“A migration? ”

“What about your friend? ”

“He's been here about a month. ”

Okay, that should do it.

I smiled and said to the merchant:

“If you help me, I'll help you. I'll tell you what you want. ”

I put Director Kim's card in his pocket.

Then, in the building, evolution came looking for me.

“Sorry, you've been waiting a long time. ”

“No, thanks. ”

“To explore more · ·”

She strokes her slightly disheveled head and gestures at me.

But I pulled out my wallet again without having to hear any more.

A long white check.

I heard there's no money when we have more time, and no time when we have more money.

I'm the one. I smiled at her with a check.

“I'll make a donation. Make a big one first. ”

I send a signal to the merchant with his mouth wide open.

Signal me to meet you outside.

There was a lot to hear about this strange nursing home.

* * *

Me and the merchant made an appointment through Chairman Kim.

The venue is a snack bar in front of a nearby school.

The cake and fish cakes in the green bowl look delicious.

“I'll eat well. ”

A merchant holding a fork as soon as he came out.

Then the girl next to him stopped him.

“Hey, I'm not taking this lightly. ”

A name tag on the girl's chest, Ji-hye.

You look wise from the start.

Wisdom doesn't know that I'm a cop, so let's be cautious.

I smiled and forked my child.

“The merchant needs to learn. ”

“Brother, this is my brother's friend. It's okay, eat it.”

Wisdom glances at the merchant and picks up a fork.

I drank water and slowly got to the point.

“You said you served at the Aristocracy for a long time. ”

“It's only been a month. Well.”

“How are you feeling? Are they all right? ”

“· · · Yes. The principal is a bit scary, but there has to be someone strict. ”

Wisdom replied, stirring the bread.

Your eyes are still full of vigilance.

“Did you notice anything strange? Like visiting strange men, leaving the principal regularly · ·”

Percussion

Wisdom lowers the fork in a loud voice.

Then the merchant notices and stops forking.

Wisdom grabs hold of the bag as if it were about to pop out.

“My brother is most suspicious right now. Why do you ask? ”

Well, I can't help it.

I have to ask you a few questions directly.

I pulled the police ID out of my pocket.

Wisdom took his identity card and begged him to check whether it was real or not.

I don't know why a broken kid like that plays with a commercial guy.

Wisdom returned the identity to me as if I had finished feeling.

The boundary seems to be loosened as you put down the bag that you grabbed.

“Are you a cop?"

“There was a cop among your friends · ·”

I see more sparkle in the eyes of the merchant looking at me.

Wisdom picked up the fork again and began eating Tteokbokki.

Now we can have a relaxing conversation.

“Why is the police a pawn? ”

“It's just a simple investigation. So can you tell me everything that comes to mind? ”

I took out my notebook and said it gently.

Wisdom and commerce seem to be trying to recall something.

The first one to open his mouth was the commercial man.

“But I really don't have anything. Fill up volunteer hours while playing with the kids. Pick up a snack. ”

“That's right. It's not that hard. Oh, there's one. Breaking up with the kids. ”

“Aha. That's too bad. ”

I nodded as if the merchant and wisdom were sympathetic to each other.

“The children are adoptive because they run a good orphanage. ”

“Really?"

“Should I say as much as I'm going in? If we stick together, we'll get out. ”

“But not since last week. We're outnumbered. We're running low on food. ”

“I usually deliver groceries once a week, but I only ordered a certain amount. So we're running out of food this week. ”

Has the number of children you adopted decreased since last week?
