Quantum Entanglement Love (Series 1)

Chapter 24: Minjin and Kim Aecha's Stained Veil



The precinct buzzed with emotion as Minjin, Kim Aecha, and the sunbae boy sat across from the policeman. Kim Aecha bravely shared the difficult moments she had experienced, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears. Despite her trembling voice, she expressed herself with a quiet strength.

The policeman, who was listening closely, shook his head in disapproval. "Why did you go to his house by yourself?"

"Jeogeyo, are you blaming her for what happened?" Minjin retorted, her annoyance clear.

"Aniyo, I just want to make sure you know it can be risky to visit a boy's house by yourself," the policeman gently reminded.

Minjin frowned at the suggestion, her patience waning.

He then turned to the sunbae boy and asked, "What about you? What's your side of the story?"

"Can you believe it? She really came at me!" the sunbae boy exclaimed, his voice brimming with disbelief.

The policeman addressed them and asked, "What do you want to do? Are you planning to file a complaint?"

"I will file a complaint!" The sunbae boy stated defiantly.

Just then, Tae-sung rushed into the precinct, looking concerned. "Minjin-ah!" he exclaimed upon spotting her. Quickly, he bowed to the policeman and introduced himself. "I'm Park Tae-sung, Park Minjin's older brother. What's going on?"

The policeman detailed the incident, stating, "This man intends to file a complaint against your sister."

Tae-sung looked at Minjin, his concern evident. "Do you want to file a complaint, too?"

"Aniyo, I don't want to," Kim Aecha suddenly interjected.

"Aecha-ah," Minjin said, taken aback by her friend's remark.

Kim Aecha added, "We'll apologize, Sunbae."

Park Tae-sung gently shook his head. "No, please don't apologize. You're the one who's been through so much, Aecha-shi."

The Sunbae boy exclaimed, "Bo? She's the one who's been hurt? Just look at what happened to me!"

Ignoring him, Tae-sung stated, "We'll file a complaint for you. I'll call our lawyer to take care of this."

Soon after, a frantic woman appeared. She searched the area and quickly spotted her son rushing toward him. "Yeong-seok-ah!" She cradled his face. "What happened? Who did this?"

"That girl, eomma!" the sunbae exclaimed, pointing at Minjin.

His mother glared at Minjin and stormed over, trying to strike her. Tae-sung and the policeman swiftly intervened. Tae-sung pulled Minjin to her seat to hide behind him while the officer attempted to soothe the distraught mother

."Why would you do this to my son?!" she yelled. "I can't touch him, yet you go and hurt him!"

"Exactly! We will file a complaint!" the sunbae declared.

Tae-sung raised an eyebrow, surprised. "Your son acted inappropriately toward an innocent girl! Before blaming my sister, consider what your son did! We plan to file a complaint. Do you think your son is in a strong position? He could face consequences affecting his future if guilty!"

The mother's eyes widened at this news. Turning to the policeman, she asked, "Is that true, sir? Did my son really do that?"

The policeman sighed in response. "Yes, ma'am." She then faced Tae-sung and exclaimed, "My son would never do such a thing!"

"Okay, let's take Aecha-shi to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. We can proceed with the complaint if the results align with our expectations. I'm calling my lawyer now." Tae-sung reached for his phone.

The sunbae's mother shot a disapproving look at her son. "Did you honestly do that to her?"

Kim Aecha began to cry once more, sobbing as she hid her face. Minjin hurried over and held her while Kim Aecha stayed seated.

"A-araso, I won't file a complaint anymore! "The Sunbae boy relented.

Tae-sung urged his lawyer to come to the precinct immediately. He turned to the sunbae and his mother, stating, "I am committed to resolving this. I cannot let others face a similar case with him."

His mother, feeling overwhelmed, turned to her son, and in her distress, she struck him a few times. "I'm just so upset right now! I feel so embarrassed. Your father and I have put in so much effort for your future, and it pains me to see it go to waste!"

Tears in her eyes, she lightly struck him as the policeman stepped in to help her find calm.

The mother turned to Tae-sung. "Sir, I hope you can forgive my son." She kneeled before Kim Aecha, her voice softening. "Child, I ask for your mercy for my son. I promise he will learn from this for your sake."

The officer separated the mother from Kim Aecha, who continued to cry in Minjin's arms.

The lawyer, Tae-sung, arrived and introduced himself, giving his calling card to the officer. They convened in a private room to strategize against the boy. The mother, in tears, begged them as the boy maintained a frown. Tae-sung concurred that they needed the boy to write a handwritten letter confessing to his crime and pledging not to go near Minjin and Kim Aecha again. Despite the boy's hesitation, his mother urged him to do it for his future. Tae-sung also suggested they assure him they would keep this incident secret, particularly from their school

The Sunbae boy penned a letter admitting his wrongdoing and promised to avoid Minjin and Kim Aecha, guaranteeing that the incident would stay private within their school. The lawyer received this letter and notified the policeman that he would officially document it, enabling him to keep a copy for future use.

After a tense confrontation outside the precinct, Tae-sung offered to drive Kim Aecha home, which she gratefully accepted. The ride was quiet, and the weight of the evening's events was evident in the silence.

Upon reaching Kim Aecha's home, she expressed her thanks to Tae-sung. "Thank you, Ahjusshi."

"It's okay; take some time to rest," Tae-sung said gently.

The car was quiet as they drove away until Tae-sung broke the silence with a sigh.

"I'm sorry, oppa," Minjin murmured, her eyes glued to her hands."How are your hands?" Tae-sung inquired, noticing the injuries.

Minjin looked down at the scratches and bruises. "They're fine."

"We'll get some medicine before we go home," Tae-sung assured her.

"Alright, thank you, Oppa," Minjin responded, her voice tinged with sadness.

Tae-sung sighed as he focused on the road. "I'm worried the school might find out. I promise to handle this for Aecha-shi's benefit. Minjin-ah, society often blames girls for boys' actions. The letter aimed to protect her from cruel judgments. I don't want that incident to steal her innocence."

Tae-sung gently tapped Minjin on the head with a reassuring smile. "I'm proud of you. You stood firm against what was wrong. Besides your intelligence, I appreciate your emotional wisdom."

Minjin remained silent, gazing at her worn hands while Kim Aecha's frightened face lingered in her mind.
