Vanishing Time: A Boy Who Returned Page #2

---

The time-eating goblin.

You're from the

same world as her?

How can you eat time?

That's why it's a goblin, dammit!

Before he died,

my grandfather told me...

During a full moon,

a cave appears in this mountain.

Full moon!

Cave.

Wasn't your grandfather

in a mental hospital?

Go to hell!

It was a convalescent hospital!

Hey, so tell us more.

He said if you enter that cave,

the goblin steals your time,

making a child a grown-up,

and a grown-up, an old man.

But we're the same.

- Will you stop interrupting?

- But it's true!

Anyway, you interrupted.

Stop doing that!

What is it?

My hairpin's gone.

- She scared me for nothing.

- Where is it?

Did you drop it inside?

Let's go together.

Wow... You two are dating?

He got mad when I shot her.

It's not like that, a**hole!

I knew when he asked her

to come with us.

Right.

- You take your time.

- It's not like that.

You two look good together.

Sung-min!

Where are you?

Mom...

Stop the construction!

What is all this?

- Hello.

- Mr. Park is here.

Hello. What can I do for you?

He's in charge.

Please explain it to him.

Well, stop the construction

right now.

Could you tell me why?

Our boys came here

to see this!

You know our site is

surrounded by wire

and strongly guarded,

so kids can't get in.

You'd better look for them

somewhere else.

No.

Even my house shook

a few hours ago.

People say the explosions here

caused the earthquake.

How can you continue?

The kids might be nearby!

- That's...

- Hey.

Isn't your daughter's name

Oh Su-rin?

Yes, it is.

She was with our boys.

Pardon?

Why'd they go to the mountain...?

Yesterday afternoon

on Hwano Island,

three boys and a girl in 6th grade

climbed a hill

to watch explosions at

a tunnel construction site,

and are currently still missing.

Police started the search right away

as there was an artificial earthquake

of magnitude 3.6 around 4pm

the time the children are presumed

to be in the mountain.

They entertain the possibility

of an accident.

Out of the way, please.

When did you move here?

A month and a half ago...

Yes, it was around then.

Was Su-rin close to the boys

who disappeared with her?

I guess so.

That's why they went together.

Yes, I suppose so.

How tall is Su-rin?

She is...

up to my chest.

What was she wearing?

Well, I don't know.

Pants or a skirt,

you don't know?

Okay, got it.

Listen Detective, 2 years ago

I married Su-rin's mother.

But there was

a car accident last year

and only I survived.

Since then she's been...

Anyway, it's true that

we're not that close.

Can I smoke?

- Sure.

- Thanks.

Then she might have just run away.

Tae-sik!

What is it?

It seems like they found something.

- What is it?

- They found a kid!

Clear the way!

Don't let the people get in!

Where is the kid?

- It's a girl?

- Yes. She is alive.

Su-rin's father, hurry!

Go see if it's her.

Su-rin!

In the cave, there was a

shining egg in the water...

That is...

the time-stealing goblin

according to Tae-sik's grandfather.

But it only appears

under a full moon.

Sung-min took it

and we all came out.

But I lost the hairpin

my mother gave me...

Wait, so...

Didn't you hear any sound?

A scream or something like that?

No, they just disappeared.

But the egg was broken

and there was a sort of

mystery circle...

Su-rin.

Why do you keep saying

these strange things?

Hey, girl.

How many times has it been?

First you say it was here,

and then over there...

Can't you remember?

It was only a few days ago.

Did you lie about the cave?

- You shouldn't lie to us!

- Okay.

Everyone calm down a moment.

I understand your point,

but if you get angry at her,

she can't remember.

How can we believe her?

At school they call her a freak.

Watch your language!

What's wrong with our language!

Do you have any idea

how we feel?

Don't point your finger!

This is all because of

your construction!

Calm down please.

We need to find the boys!

Isn't that what you all want?

What?

Chief!

- They found a body.

- What?

What?

A corpse?

Whose body is it?

Don't panic.

We need to check...

We'll now conduct

a phone interview

with Detective Ahn,

who heads this investigation.

- Detective Aha?

- Yes, hello.

Tell us where you found

Jae-week's body.

It was a deserted playground

20km from the village.

Yeah, we'd have found the boys

if they were at the mountain.

Right.

There are no external injuries,

so we believe his chronic asthma

was the cause of death.

By the way I heard that

Someone claimed

our company kidnapped the kids

to cover up an accident

caused by construction.

Saying that's why

only Su-rin returned.

Who the hell said that?

Moron, is it a writer or what?

She's here.

You know what?

I felt so relieved

it wasn't you who died.

But thinking it over,

I started feeling sorry

to Jae-Weak.

I'm going to school.

Mom!

At 8 AM this morning

at the houses of

Yoo Jae-wook and Park Tae-sik,

the clothes worn by the

missing boys were found.

It's presumed someone left them

between 2 AM and 5 AM.

We're now searching for

witnesses and reviewing

CCTV and dashcams in the area.

Sung-min...

Is it you?

Su-rin...

Su-rin.

Su-rin...

It's me, Sung-min.

Su-rin!

Please...

Su-rin!

Please...

Su-rin.

Please be quiet for a second.

Su-rin!

Su-rin.

What's going on?

Help!

Su-rin!

What is it?

There's a strange man...

What?

Where?

You can't tell?

It's okay.

Take your time.

Do you remember his clothes

or anything?

He said he's Sung-min.

What?

Su-rin,

what are you talking about?

I don't know.

That's what he said.

Why are you outside?

Go in, it's dangerous.

Detective Cho, we found this

in the forest.

- What is it?

- Dunno.

What the heck does this mean?

Is this yours?

Su-rin?

Are you listening?

Yes?

- Is this yours?

- Yes, it is.

Su-rin, this is Sung-min.

When you went back into the cave,

something strange happened to us.

- Hey, come here.

- What?

- What is it?

- Just look.

It's freaking awesome.

Damn!

You saw it too!

It moved!

What's inside it?

Shall I just break it?

Hell, no!

What if something comes out!

I can raise it.

Things from eggs think

the first thing they see is their mom.

Okay, I'm breaking it!

Here I go.

Three!

Two !

Should we wait

until Su-rin comes out?

Just break it,

you prick!

- You can tell her later!

- Right!

All right.

What was that?

It was empty!

Su-rin!

Su-rin?

HEY-

Dad!

Daddy!

Daddy?

- I can see her panties.

- Hey, you!

Dad!

Guys, my dad won't move.

Hey, she's not your mother,

is she?

At first, it was just fun.

We felt like we were

the only ones in this world.

It tastes exactly like coke.

This is amazing!

Stop eating, you fat ass!

You wanna die?

We felt like

we could do anything...

- Wait!

- What?

Isn't it a mirror?

Why aren't we reflected?

Why not?

Did the mirror stop too?

But soon we realized

there were things we couldn't do.

How many days has it been?

Do we really only escape
