Opening — Kyu-jeong is safe¶
Na returns most of the money Kyu-jeong carried.
The boy used roughly one million won to pay a fisherman for transportation and spent additional money traveling to a youth shelter.
Na tells the parents that Kyu-jeong is safe there.
The family’s earlier confrontation with villagers was partly staged according to Na’s instructions, but the mother admits that the fear was real.
Even if Kyu-jeong returns, she does not know whether the family can continue living among the villagers.
Son Hye-seung is missing¶
Lim asks whether Na found the teacher.
The school principal claims Son Hye-seung has been absent without permission for three days.
The timing is suspicious: she disappeared on the same day Kyu-jeong fled.
Na and Lim search her official residence.
The electricity meter and empty rooms suggest no one is inside.
A villager appears and asks why they are snooping around.
Lim repeats her cover identity as the new teacher.
The man says they have taken the wrong road and offers to guide them.
After he leaves, Na notes that the village head likely ordered him to follow them.
The investigation separates¶
Na says he was supposed to remove Son Hye-seung from the island as soon as he learned how serious the case was.
He instructs Lim to begin teaching normally the following day and quietly gather information from faculty and students.
He also tells her that if the village head harmed Son Hye-seung, she may act first rather than waiting for permission.
Lim observes that Na is enjoying the gangster role more than she is.
The village head becomes suspicious¶
Local men gather at the village head’s house.
One says Lim grabbed his wrist with extraordinary strength.
They wonder whether Na is a wanted criminal hiding on the island.
A younger enforcer drinks with the elders and says they can simply arrest or beat the outsiders if ordered.
The village head becomes more suspicious because Na and Lim went directly to Son Hye-seung’s residence.
He sends people to watch them closely.
Lim’s first day at school¶
Lim formally introduces herself as the new physical-education teacher.
She acts cheerful and cooperative.
A senior official from the village visits the school. The principal welcomes him warmly and mentions the typhoon expected that night.
The official asks for young people to assist villagers with storm preparations.
The principal volunteers Lim.
She maintains the undercover role and agrees, saying she understands communal responsibility.
The elders praise her as more intelligent than her brother.
She promises to apologize after work to the man Na injured.
The village head tests Lim¶
While escorting her, the official begins describing a case from five years earlier.
Detectives from Seoul once entered the village undercover by claiming to be fisheries officials.
They investigated suspicions involving the island, but the scandal disappeared quickly.
The official watches Lim’s reaction and then accuses her.
He says Na is not really her brother.
They went directly to Son Hye-seung’s house, and the timing is too suspicious.
He says Lim appears to be a real teacher because official documents are difficult to forge, but he demands the truth about the man accompanying her.
Lim pretends to panic and acts frightened.
The official sees through the performance.
He tells her to stop acting.
Lim drops the timid expression.
She admits she is not talented at saying things she does not mean.
She then becomes genuinely angry that Na gets to play the thug while she must pretend to be harmless.
“FORGET IT!”
“I’LL BE A THUG TOO!”
The chapter closes as her cover gives way to direct confrontation.
Chapter-level observations¶
1. Kyu-jeong’s escape proves outside systems can work¶
A fisherman and youth shelter give the boy options the village deliberately denied him.
2. Son Hye-seung’s disappearance becomes the immediate priority¶
Her absence begins exactly when the witness fled, strongly suggesting the village acted to suppress her.
3. Lim’s assigned femininity is part of the cover¶
The villagers expect a young woman to be polite, frightened, and useful. Her difficulty maintaining that role becomes both comedy and threat.
4. The village has defeated investigators before¶
The five-year-old scandal shows that local political and media connections previously protected the island.
