Vanishing Time: A Boy Who Returned Page #4

---

in 10 or 20 years

could you recognize him?

Well...

I mean, could you recognize

the grown-up Sung-min?

I guess I could...

- if I talked to him.

- Really?

Sung-min has been here

the longest.

But you know, Su-rin.

As for me,

I really understand how you feel.

I miss him dearly, too.

Please wait a second!

Su-rin!

Come here!

Why?

Come here, you!

Please, let go of me!

Mister!

Sir! Mr. Oh!

Don't scold her too much.

Listen to what

she has to say.

Yes, and thank you

for calling me.

Go talk to her.

Wait!

What is it with you?

You're really driving me crazy!

Why are you talking bullshit?

Damn it!

After your mom died

like that, I...

It's because of you!

You made her die!

How dare you!

You come here!

Let me go!

Come on!

Let go of me!

Get in!

Mister.

Open up!

Please, don't!

Open up.

What have I done so wrong?

I really don't know anymore.

Please, open UP!

Are the kids up?

Who are you?

The window of Sunflower Class...

Geun-ho didn't break it.

I did.

Everyone else thought it was him

but you knew it was me.

So you told me

to apologize to him...

What are you talking about?

Ma...

I'm Sung-min.

I see...

Sung... Sung-min!

Su-rin told me

more or less what happened.

So shall we go outside

and you can

tell me about it?

Dong-soc.

No, sir!

Come here.

No one believes me

because I'm a weirdo.

Su-rin...

Detective, my kid disappeared!

Hello?

Yes, speak to me sir.

- Hello, are you there?

- Well, I'll call you right back.

Wait!

How did Tae-sik's grandpa

learn about the goblin?

Someone who knows the story

might believe what we're saying.

A long time ago

when his friend disappeared

people said it was

because of the goblin.

It means there was

the egg in the past?

Sung-min.

I guess I saw another egg.

I saw a light in the water again

when I went back to the cave alone.

Let's go and check.

You know how to get there?

What will you do with it?

What if...

there really is another egg?

I'll break it in front of everyone!

My stepfather, the police

and the TV people!

We'll stop time and

disappear while they're shooting.

No.

- That's the only way.

- No way!

You know nothing about it.

But you said...

even if we go to

different dimension,

I don't have to worry

as long as I'm with you.

But they all died!

Su-rin...

Let's just leave.

Let's leave the island and

go where no one knows us.

I don't care

if nobody recognizes me

as long as...

you know that it's me.

It's a bit cold at night.

Are you alright?

I'm okay. You?

Let me wear your sweater.

Su-rin, let's go.

Right now!

Sung-min!

- Su-rin!

- Are you alright?

- Sung-min...

- What the heck are you doing?

Come here!

Sung-min!

Let's get out of here.

Let's go!

Sung-min!

Hey, Jin-sung.

What does it look like to you?

Su-rin's portrait from the back?

Damn, that's not what I mean!

I'm asking your opinion

as a detective.

It shows his psychology

towards the girl.

That sort of thing.

Anyway the moron is a pedophile.

Look at the kids' clothes.

Su-rin's fingerprints

were all over that house.

And we found shoes matching

the footprints at your home.

My conclusion is

that he's known her

for a long time...

Don't you have anything

more to tell me?

Sir...

Oh my God.

This is Su-rin's phone.

I found that son of a b*tch's

pictures in here.

She called him Sung-min.

She might believe it for real...

According to the villagers,

she believes the suspect

is one of the victims.

So rather than

Stockholm syndrome,

isn't it closer to

pseudologia fantastica?

Still, can you explain all of this

as simply

the delusions

of a 13-year-old girl?

One adult and one child.

- ID, please.

- Pardon?

I need the adult's ID.

50 it seems more likely

the suspect manipulated Su-rin

into thinking

he was a missing friend.

Dad went to the men's room.

No ticket without an ID.

Next!

I want to pose

a new question here.

People are most curious about

whether Su-rin was involved

in the abduction of her friends

from the beginning.

Meanwhile police have called for

restraint in spreading rumors

or publishing speculative articles

which might sidetrack the case.

The suspect is about

6 ft tall with a slim figure,

wearing a black hoodie,

brown pants and black backpack.

The entire police force on

Hwano Island has been mobilized,

with a SWAT team standing by

for any contingencies.

Did you check inside?

Where to?

- Down...town.

- Yes, sir.

What a fuss...

Where exactly downtown?

- We'll get off here.

- Here?

Thank you.

Here!

Come here, quick!

Wait, hold on.

Hey!

Over there!

Stop there!

I'll go this way.

Suspicious person located.

In pursuit towards the pier,

assistance requested.

Su-rin.

Jump.

I'll catch you.

You go ahead.

Let's meet at the cave.

Don't get caught!

Su-rin! No!

Su-rin!

Here!

We found the girl!

Are you alright?

You're not hurt?

Keep her safe!

Why don't we run

a fingerprint test?

Compare Sung-min's fingerprints

at the orphanage

- against this man's...

- You got that kind of time?

I'm sorry.

Stop talking nonsense.

Think of it this way.

A lonely man living alone

saw you somewhere one day

and desperately wanted

to be your friend.

But naturally he thought

you wouldn't want that.

So he started to find out

about you.

Where you live,

who your friends are...

Must've found your blog, too?

Then he got an idea

while reading your blog.

Kidnapping your best friend

Sung-min

and then pretending

that he's Sung-min.

If he says he grew old

while trapped in another world

you'd believe him since you're

full of imagination, he thought.

That doesn't make sense!

The story you just told...

you made it up.

That's right.

I made it up.

But isn't plausible?

At least more than

the egg and the cave?

Listen, Su-rin.

Sung-min and Tae-sik,

they might be still alive.

You should help us.

You know where

he is now, don't you?

Go ahead, I'll wait here.

Su-rin.

Su-rin?

Bring everyone we have.

YES, sir!

Are you walking? Run!

Hey. Take a good look over there.

Sung-min!

Give it to me.

You don't have to do this with me.

I'll do it alone.

Even if you disagree,

I'll let people know

that you're Sung-min

I'll just tell them I did it.

That I kidnapped

and killed them all.

That you weren't involved.

Then it will be over.

And then?

What will you say when

the police ask who you are?

I'll come back, I promise.

We'll be the same age then.

And you'll recognize me, right?

What's that?

Tell them to stop!

Hurry!

Sung-min!

Wait!

Yeo Sung-min!

Sung-min!

Please...

I've been thinking

on the way here.

What if it hadn't happened?

With you and the boys,

we'd have entered middle school

and gone places together...

Su-rin.

But I can't live like that now.

And I hate

to see you miss it

because of me.

Don't move.

Stay still.

Don't move.

It's alright.

Send the kid over here.

Su-rin.

Come here.

Send the kid over,

you bastard!

Don't shoot!

Please listen to him for once.
