Vanishing Time: A Boy Who Returned Page #3

---

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!
