Forgotten [1/?]

Title: Forgotten
Series: 블랙/Black
Characters: Kim Joon/444, Je Soo-dong, Kang Ha-ram, Leo/Kim Woo-sik
Summary: In the end, everything turned out well. Yet, Leo couldn't help feeling that there was something amiss.

----------------

Ever since he watched Ha-ram ran out of the station in a distraught state he had been feeling anxious. Should he chase after her? He did promise 444 that he'll protect Ha-ram in his place. But if he ran off now... then what excuse he should give to Leo's manager? And he can't teleport–if he could still do it, 444 mentioned before that the more they become more human they'd lose the ability to teleport–without anyone noticing, especially since Leo's a star. His sudden disappearance would've caused a stir...

"Gwi-nam, start the car already. We need to be there when the helicopter and rescue team arrive!"

'Leo' turned around as he saw Captain Bong and his team rushed out as he immediately rushed towards them.

"Captain Bong–!"

The older man turned towards him in a hurry. "Oh, Leo! What is it, we're in a hurry. Han Moogang–!"

"Just now I saw Miss Ha-ram running out in a hurry, So I was worried... this something happened–?"

Detective Oh and Detective Park paused before turning towards each other. "Miss Ha-ram?", Detective Park exclaimed, immediately realizing something as he grabbed Captain Bong. "She did hear about which cliff Moogang should have jumped from... right? Would you think she could...?"

Captain Bong slapped Park's head with his hand. "Of course she did! And you two had been crying so much after that that we barely noticed that she ran out! Now what mess do we have here?" he snapped, before shoving his subordinates into the car. He turned towards Leo. "Don't worry, we'll watch out for any signs of her there as well!"

Then the car drove off, leaving 'Leo' behind. He sighed.

That's it. That's all he could do for now.

He finished the filming of a victim interrogation scene at the hospital as the horrid feeling he's been feeling in his stomach did not subside. And as if he doesn't already have enough concerns in his mind. There's also that concern about his drama's likelihood to be boycotted by fans because of the scandal with Leo's father. And even if the man had already died, it wasn't as if the sentiment would die anytime soon.

Ah... he really needs to figure out how to solve this issue.

"Make way! Emergency patient getting through!"

'Leo' stopped himself as he darted towards the hospital's main entrance. Wait, he frowned, were those Detective Han's teammates? So that could mean...!

He turned to the direction of the emergency hospital staff before heading towards Captain Bong. Before he could even say a word, the captain spoke.

"We managed to rescue Miss Ha-ram. She tried to kill herself as well by jumping off the cliff but we saved her just in time. We still didn't manage to find Detective Han's body though. The rest of the recovery team were still at Moojin cliff to look for him."

Was that it?, Je Soo-dong asked in his mind. What about 444's body? It was there as well under the seabed, wasn't it?

He wanted to ask those questions so bad yet he couldn't say it out loud without turning people's head. But then, Detective Oh came over.

"Sir, I'll get back to the location to oversee the recovery of the unidentified body in the car we found earlier," the man said before Captain Bong dismissed him.

"Unidentified body?" Je Soo-dong asked, as Captain Bong turned to face him.

"Yes, we managed to find a very old car, deep under the seabed overlooking Moojin cliff with a body inside. The recovery team was still in the process of taking it out as we speak. Supposedly, the body should be of the child that Moogang's mother claimed to have killed to save Moogang. His supposed older 'brother'. But I don't remember Detective Han mentioning that he had an older brother before... so that was odd. Guess, figuring out the identity of the unidentified body would be our next case..."

Captain Bong waved him off as he went towards the hospital's administration office as Je Soo-dong was left perplexed.

What did Captain Bong mean about an 'unidentified' body? He thought he remembered hearing them talking about Kim Joon before, so they should have been aware of him... 444 being Detective Han's older brother. What did they mean that they don't know who Kim Joon was?

A few days passed, and he's been paying close attention to the news for any mentions of the teen prostitution scandal news as well as the Moojin Time Mart scandal incident. But since most of the involved parties were deceased, the prosecution would not hold a trial over the incident but instead, have the results of the investigation be released to the public. Well, that's good... probably, since at least everything that 444 had done to unearth the truth of that incident would not be in vain.

Yet there was something that Je Soo-dong started to notice. Despite the details of the investigations have been made public, there was no mention in the press about anything regarding Kim Joon. Or even about the murder of Kim Joon or how it relates to the investigation of the Moojin cases. That puzzled him, since that reminded him of how Captain Bong and the others seemed to not remember anything about Kim Joon.

Something's not right, he thought. And now that he thought about it, it's time for him to visit Kang Ha-ram at the hospital. She should be well enough now to be able to accept visitor and he needed to confirm about some important matters himself.
