Lost Memories | A Liskook Adaptation

Chapter 4: First Dream

Bambam finds Sana in a small alley.

In a curvy alleyway in an old city, there's an easy to miss little store piled with many groceries and snacks. Sana is wearing a simple t-shirt and jeans, without any makeup, and sitting by the cash register. If you don't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to recognize her as the enchanting woman at night.

This is a rather surprise to Bambam.

There are quite a few nightclub mistresses who have a secondary job, but most of them are in sales, models for auto shows, or are still university students. He has never seen one who opens a small store to make a living .

What's more surprising is that Sana doesn't seem to be that old, but she actually has a son; a two to three year old strong boy, who keeps hugging her and calling her mommy. And every time she lifts the little boy up, her facial expression is extremely gentle, " Jihun, be good! Jihun, do you want to eat some fruits?

Everyone has their own stories and secrets. The same goes for Sana.

"Pretty girl, a pack of cigarettes please," says a man in blue coverall standing at the entrance.

"Okay!" Sana puts her son down and bends down to fetch a pack of Baisha cigarettes. When she lifts her head, she spots Bambam nearby.

Bambam immediately smiles at her.

Sana's mouth twitches.

Sana coaxes the child to sleep. She then turns around with her hands on her hips and stares at Bambam enduring her patience, "Mr. Policeman, how many times do I have to tell you for you to believe me?.... We were really only drinking tea and having a chat that day. We didn't do anything unlawful!"

Bambam obviously doesn't believe her, but it's too difficult for him to press further. Furthermore, after seeing her child, he hesitates to make things hard for her. Therefore, he shifts his gaze left and right, and decides to use the roundabout method that Lisa often teaches him

"Um.....Sana, this store you have is not bad. But are you able to manage taking care of the kid yourself?" He starts chatting about her everyday life.

Sana responds impassively while tidying up a shelf, "It's alright."

"I'll introduce more customers to your place," Bambam says sincerely .

Sana pauses, turns to look at him, and then continues to tidy up the shelf.

This is a perfect example of two people who have nothing to say to each other · And then it's mainly Bambam talking to himself with Sana answering him only once or twice.

When it comes to that man, she always says that she doesn't know .

In the end, when he is about to leave, Sana suddenly calls him and says, "This morning, 'he' called me and said that if the police comes looking for me, then I should relay his message to that police beauty. But this has nothing to do with me. I'm only relaying his words."

Bambam repeats "his" exact words to Lisa, causing her to be in rage. She squeezes her phone standing in the small room beside the lab, not knowing what to say, Bambam on the other hand, tries to probe, "Hey Leader, what exactly happened last night? How did you dislocate your shoulder? How come you haven't told me?"

"I'll tell you when I come back!" She disconnects the call directly.

When she turns around, her eyes meet Tae's pure gaze full of inquiry.

Lisa puts the phone back in her pocket with a straight face, "Something came up at the station. I need to go now.

Tae nods.
