Capítulo 12: Gift
"Min-chul~~!!! Min-chul! Hmmmm..."
"Where's Min-chul oppa, papa?"
Looking down at his daughter for a while, he pats her head and answers the best way he thinks he can. By lying!
Obviously, if your daughter liked some boy and that boy suddenly went missing, they'd started throwing a fit, crying and when they turn 13 and go right into the middle puberty, they will remember this exact moment and you won't be a father but a stranger.
They will come to resent your being and will avoid you for the rest of their teenage life. This carries on into college and they will even mature into a woman that won't care about her father's wellbeing, only being at his funeral for appearances sake.
...at least that's what he learned from his extensive research.
"I...don't know. I think that Min-chul went to ride some rides, let's look for him..."
"Un! Min-chul~~ we're cominggg~~"
Bringing his daughter with her, they ask the guards if there was a little boy wandering around, to which they answer no. Getting worried, he goes up to the entrance and requests for a message to be sent out.
[[Bing bing bing boooonnggg...Ahem ahem...little boy, come out come out. Little boy named Min-chul, please come out. With the blue shirt and the black shorts, please come out. Woof woof woof...]]
[[Bing bing bing boooonnggg...Ahem ahem...little boy, come out come out. Little boy named Min-chul, please come out. With the brown eyes and the black hair, please come out. Woof woof woof...]]
'...haah? What was that? That sounded so depressing'
"Haaahhhh...that should do the trick. Wait here for 15 minutes and if no one comes up, I'll send out the announcement 3 more times and contact the police, okay?"
"Oh! Thank you!"
Even with the announcement, Seung-ri wasn't satisfied and started looking for Min-chul himself with So-young riding on his shoulders. He looked through the teacups, the boys bathroom, the Wet Dog ride (wet log) and even around the Flying Pig and the Flying Dog; both roller coaster rides not having a boy named Min-chul included.
Feeling lost, Seung-ri thinks he has 2 options: either commit seppuku, jump into a river with new concrete shoes or do the 3rd option... he can't help but get shivers.
Honestly, Seung-ri doesn't want to tell Min-hee that her boy is lost but he knows he needs to. If something worse happened, then that's his career as a teacher ruined since he can't even protect a little boy.
'Hoooo...you are doing the right thing. This is for Min-chul!'
Dialing her number with a shaky finger, he hypes himself up before continuing, making sure to put So-young with a nearby guard as not to worry her with the screams that will most likely be hurled at him.
[ahem ahem...Min-hee? Are you there?]
[oh! If it isn't Seung-ri nim! What do you call for???]
'Oh. My. God! Why the hell does she sound like she knows exactly why I'm calling? How creepy... hopefully this is just my imagination'
[uuuhhhh, the thing is... it seems like Min-chul has...]
[ahhh! My baby! Tell me about him! Wha-]
[Min-chul got lost. I think he wandered off after I left him by a guard]
[the...guard left him alone?]
[yes, I believe that is what happened. When I returned from comforting So-young, the guard and Min-chul were gone]
[.....]
Hearing the silence on the other end of the call, Seung-ri starts worrying about Min-hee. She does dote on her son a lot, after all.
[Min-hee?]
[.... n̵̢̢̛̖̳͚̭͓̫̗͔͙̼̻̪͔̤̤̥̯̠̲͚̺̜͙̣̦̺̋̅̀̋̆͌̓̓͒̕͜ͅͅą̴̢̢̧̢̛̛̱̺̬͎͇̙̖̠͖̙͖̗͖͍̠͇͚͉̤̩̾̄̏͊̆͒͑̑̈́̐͂̐̃̒̈̇̕͘͜͝͝͝͝͠͠ͅm̴̨̛̳̗̳̻̖̰̘̺͎͖̲̯͖͙̦̤̟̰͎̙̣̜͕̞̓̏͂̓̃̿̀͆́̇̍͑̒͋́͋̀̈́̈́̅̀͗̄̎͐͌̈́͘͘͝ͅͅȩ̴̨̡̨̢̨̛̛̜̥͉͍͇̜̟͚̫͖̉̌͊͌̂̆̃̂̽̎̾̕̕̕]
[eeekkk! Uhuh...eheheheheeee]
Obviously, seeing that Min-hee's anger reached his dialogue, he realized just how terrifying Min-hee can get. For someone like him, he'd be angry and obviously sorrowful if So-young was missing but for Min-hee, she doesn't get angry. She gets...disturbing.
Static and lag sometimes appears on nearby devices, her tone of speech almost sounds like it has an echo and when she talks, her words are followed by either eye twitches, voice twitches or some unknown language being softly spoken when she isn't talk to you.

[Oh, Name! Of course! I believe his name tag read 'Gyo Young-jae'.]
[ahhhhh, his name is Young-jae? Prosperous? What a funny name...ehehehehehehe]
'Huh? That's a normal.....wait, no. I guess right now, since Min-hee said it, it's probably a weird name lest I want to leave So-young to be raised by a single parent. Un un! What a weird name, Young-jae!'
[sooo....are you gonna do anything?]
[oh, don't you worry Seung-ri nim. I'll be there soon...ehehehe- ttooooooottt]
"Huh? She ended the call? Maybe she's rushing"
"Who's rushing!?!"
"Ah! Min-chul's mommy, Min-hee is coming over!"
"Yaaaayyyy! She lets me eat sweets!"
'Ahhhh, seems like wifey's suspicions were correct after all'
Taking So-young onto his back, he sets off on a quest that won't get him anywhere.
Again, searching, looking and watching for Min-chul anywhere, he didn't find anything. After about 20 minutes, the staff inform him that the police have been contacted and that they will send out the message throughout the park once more time with a more serious tone.
"Seung-ri nim! Seung-ri nim!"
"Oh, Min-hee! You got here earlier than I thought"
"Of course! That's my son! Where'd you check?"
"Basically everywhere but the creative building and the hotel since I don't think he'd visit there; it's too far"
"Hmmm...let's head over there just to check. Oh, hi So-young!"
"Min-hee noona!"
"Aiyaa~~ flattery doesn't work, you like fox!"
Heading over to the hotel, they start their search again.
"Oh! By the way....where is that guard?????????]
"Uhhh...."
"W̷̰̬̅̔͒̉̓͝h̷̨̬̹̗͍̗͇̺̞̙̓̃̅̈́͐͛͐ȩ̸͙̪̣̰̤̮͇̒͋́͘͘r̷̡̬̗̳̍̀͗͂̀̅̋̋̕͘ȩ̶̡͖͉̻͔̫̪͙̟̹̲̮̳̈́̋̀̄͗͐̄͘?"
'Again!!! That damn echo and that damn voice...where does that even come from? Are you some sort of witch??? Wait...no, she isn't weird. Isn't this normal? To be angry about my child...no, Min-chul's well-being? Yes, Min-chul is the most important' (Seung-ri)
'Ara ara... it seems like Seung-ri is already fallen for my beautiful boy. Jung already has his 10, I'll give Min-chul even more. Protect my babies, servants. Do it well and you will be rewarded...hmmm, maybe I'll get some more women to help with Jung and Min-chul'
After removing the finger from her chin, she gives a massive smile that can only be described as either disturbing or very disturbing. Loving mother, right? Just a little 'gift' from your ol' pal, ancestor koppa.
(In the Police Station)
"And then she was like "did you hear about that murderer?" Then I said, "Murderer? I just met her!"!!!"
While eating his second lunch, Sargeant Park starts telling his subordinates about the encounters with his sensitive wife. Truth be told, she loves crime thrillers but whenever he makes a joke about a real killer, she gets offended and angry at him.
With this, he continues to make her angry and he has been sleeping on their pull-out couch for a month straight. Some would even say that he is a closet masochist. Maybe a pervert? Who knows.
""Bwahahahahahaha!!!""
"And...hic ahahahah!!! hic... here's the best part! The murderer targeted ONLY women! What a coincidence, am I right? Needless to say...I'm still sleeping on the coach..."
"Oh...it's still a funny story though!"
"Oh yeah! Totally worth it! Bwahahah-"
after they hear the phone ringing through their laughs and jokes, the police men and women silence themselves. On the line right now could be a serious case such as a burglary where silence is necessary.
"112, what's your emergency?"
"Uhhh, this is Red's Wonderland and it seems like we have a lost child. Just wondering whether you could help us out a bit"
"Oh, sure sure. We'll send some units over"
"Alrighty. Thanks lots"
Putting down the phone, the officer calls some patrolling cars to check out the theme park since right now, nothing interesting is happening so why not help them a bit?
"What was it?"
"Lost child in Red"
"Again? Isn't that the 4th time this week?"
"What can you say? They're pretty popular"
Returning to their stations and chatting about menial stuff, they have no idea about whats about to happen in a few hours. More specifically, whats about to happen with that missing child. That some masked man would demand some drawings no child would ever want to see.
Thank God that 'child' is a 40 year old man cosplaying as a kid.
'Oy! Cosplay what?! Damn dummy!'
Keeeehhh!.....heee-hoooo....heee-hooo...and I'm calm. Just for that, let me 'reward' you with more 'gifts'. Mwuahahahaha!!
"Ara ara, koppa~~ what are you laughing about??"
'Oh God...'
Hearing that cold voice again, he slowly turns around, horror movie style and makes eye contact with the beast. She always suspects him of messing with mortal and with right reason.
With this look, he has come to fear her and respect her at the same time; treating her as some sort of bank robber. You fear the bank robber but you still respect the hustle and kind of love them...
...I DON'T HAVE STOCKHOLM SYNDROME, DAMN IT!
"Eeeekkk! Uuhhhh ehehe...I'm laughing about this gift I gave this human! Yes! I gave him a gift!"
"A gift you say~...alright!"
