Chapter 13: The Key
Rae-won came into the penthouse at seven with his tie gone and the bruise around his eye gone yellow.
He did not stop talking for ten minutes.
"The note was on the windscreen, Woo-jin. His coat was on the seat. His phone was on the seat. Do you know what he had in the pocket? A packet of ginger sweets. He gets carsick."
"Rae-won."
"He made me stop the car twice, on the way to dinner. He's been so rude. I've been so happy." Rae-won dropped on the sofa and put his face in his hands. "I want him back so I can be told off."
"Sit up," Woo-jin said. "Listen to the boy."
Do-hyun stood at the glass wall in yesterday's shirt with the bruise showing at his collar.
He had told it again, shorter.
Mok.
The debts.
The Guro office above a noodle shop, with a staircase that ran down to the street.
"Friday is repayment night," he said. "The last Friday of the month, the whole building lines up on the stairs with envelopes. Forty people. More. Mok sits at a desk on the third floor and takes the money in person until midnight, and anyone who's short goes in the back room."
"He has the doctor in the back room," Rae-won said.
"He has Jun-ho because Jun-ho's father owes him too. But the note says the boy for the doctor. He wants me at midnight." Do-hyun turned. "I go in alone. I walk up the stairs through the queue, and I put myself on his desk."
"No," Woo-jin said.
"Woo-jin-"
"No," Woo-jin said.
"If you go in with Beom-su and twenty men, he'll put a knife in Jun-ho before you reach the second floor. He has eleven collectors in that building. He's not afraid of you. He's afraid of being seen."
