They Kidnapped the Wrong Boy, So He Stayed novel · Chapter 14 of 24
Chapter 14: Guro
Do-hyun walked up the stairs of the Daehwa Credit building at eleven forty-one on Friday night, and nobody in the queue looked at him.
They stood along both walls with their collars up and their envelopes in their hands.
A woman with a baby on her back.
A man in a delivery uniform.
An old man in a good coat with a bad cough.
They looked at the floor, because the floor was cheaper than looking at each other.
Do-hyun knew the posture.
He had worn it himself for two years, over a debt that was never his.
At the top of the stairs, a young collector in a puffer jacket looked him up and down and spoke into a phone.
"He's here."
"Yes," said a voice, and the collector pulled open a glass door.
The third floor was one long room with a counter and a row of plastic chairs.
A desk stood at the far end under a calendar from a noodle shop.
Mok Dae-ho sat behind the desk in his camel coat with a ledger open in front of him and a thin cigarette in his fingers.
He smiled.
"Do-hyun. Come in. I'm so glad."
"Where's the doctor?" Do-hyun asked.
"Safe. Quite safe. In the back room, with a cup of tea."
"Show me."
Mok lifted a hand.
Two collectors opened a steel door behind him.
Jun-ho sat on a stool inside, with his glasses crooked and his hands tied in front of him with a plastic strap.
He had a split lip.
His white coat had a boot print on it.
When he saw Do-hyun, his face crumpled.
"You idiot," he said, hoarse. "I'm a grown man. Go home."
"Quiet, Doctor," Mok said, mildly. "The boy and I are talking."
