The story of Dr. Kim and Mr. Tamjung Kim
I had an important mission, to keep a golden diamond that was the last jewel in the whole world, and give it to the right person. Since I had to secure the gem, I slipped the luxurious gem into my underwear, decorated with different, colorful crystals. Waiting for my destination to Bangbae in Korea,
I was checking to see if the gems were still there; afterwards, I drifted off into a deep sleep. After waking up, I had a weird feeling in my stomach. Quickly, I checked my underwear only to find the jewel was gone. Nothing was inside my pants; it was pitch black as if the lights blew out. Both the Gold Diamond and crystal underwear was stolen by someone who was clearly in the train. After frantically panicking, I tried figuring out what to, run away and create a new identity or find the thief to get what’s rightfully mine. Walking back and forth in the aisle, there was a loud knock on the door. As I swiftly opened the door, a complicated, young man walked towards me. “According to my observations, you have failed your mission.” said the man while pointing out his name card.
“Is that so, Sir?” I looked at his name card, and it simply wrote “Tamjung Kim, the famous detective in Korea.” Since I know about some Korean language, I thought by myself, ‘Tamjung means detective in Korean?’ As soon as I stopped thinking about it, he said, “Yeah, do you know some Korean? I think that language is the most beautiful dialect I have ever learned in my life besides English.” I was shocked for a few seconds because it seemed as if he was able to read my mind and know exactly what I was talking about. I got out of the confusion when the train stopped in the final destination, Bangbae station, so both he and I got out of the train. Tamjung was walking in front of me, and the only thing that I can do was follow him, even though he was slightly doubtful and suspicious of me. He acted like he knew about this location [Bangbae station] and acted like a tour guide who went on and on about markets and stores. He stopped in front of a random shop, and said “I got in to the terrible situations just like you in the past few days, and starbucks was the place that refreshes my mind to think more clearly. How about a cup of Java Chip Frappucchino? Let’s solve this problem tomorrow morning.”
I woke up in an unfamiliar room that I have never been to, and there was nothing except a bed that was provided for me. Mr. Kim was cooking breakfast, so I decided to take a tour by myself. This house was made with two floors with three rooms: one was for him; one for me, and the remaining one in the dark pathway. As I walked towards the room, I noticed a beaming light through the key hole. While I was attempting to open the door, a sudden force pushed me across the hallway. I looked up to find Tamjung standing in front of me. “Please do not touch or even try to get into this room,” he said. “What is that area?” I impatiently asked. Trying to change the subject, he replied, “It seems to be sunny and warm outside.” With that, he walked downstairs and I followed him downstairs.
After we ate some breakfast, he wanted to understand the conflict that happened back in the train. I organized my thoughts and situation and explained the whole story. “I was in the single room of the train, with my underwear and the Golden Diamond, and I tried to sleep since I have been having rough things going on these days. However, it was pretty hard to go to sleep since the jewel was glittering too brightly; so, I put the stone in my underwear to secure and cover the light, and I fell asleep. I suddenly woke up because there was not any sign of shine in my room, until I realized that both my underwear and gem was gone. The part that confused me the most was how the person able to find the jewel in my pants, and I did not feel anything!” he looked through me and said,
“Well, Mister…?”
“Doctor Kim, same as your last name.”
“I see, pleasure to meet you Dr. Kim. Anyways, on the right side of your arm, there is a shot mark that was not cured completely. So, I got some drug out of your body. According to my experiment, Dr. Kim, the thief shot both hypnotic and anesthetic on your body. You got a real robber right there because I have never experienced a crime that dealt with injecting drugs onto a person. Luckily, I printed off the finger prints and I got the age for that. There is a university called ‘Baeksuk University’ nearby my house. Let’s go check out the University since there seems to be a similar crime. “
We walked up there, and asked the principal about getting students’ fingerprints. I was extremely impressed by the way the detective was talking. He sounded so professional that people who committed something could immediately tell the truth in front of him. He had the power to persuade even a whole room of college students. Actually, the school was taking the attendance with their fingerprints, so we looked all over the prints, but we could not find anything. He also suggested about the boys’ high school nearby this strange place, so we called for a taxi. I skimmed through the paper about the wanted men in the taxi, and I noticed one guy from the sheet. I slowly placed the sheet in my pocket when the driver and the detective were talking. We arrived in the school that was called ‘Seoul High School’ and another one was ‘Sangmun High School’. The place was not as bad as I imagined. I was welcomed with many greetings and everyone was incredibly friendly towards me.
Unfortunately, we had no results in finding the gems. “Let’s continue on finding suspects tomorrow, and it will be the day that we find the criminal. Let’s hope we discover something, and have a good night.” We went back home, and I ran into my bed and slept like a baby after walking around the whole day.
A few hours later, I heard a strange sound and horrible smell next to my room; I was able to hear and smell since my room was in between Tamjung’s room and the mysterious room. A few minutes later, I quietly opened the door because the unexpected golden light was coming out of the outside of my room. I looked at the wanted paper that I took from the taxi, and it was him! Detective Tamjung was on the news about stealing victim’s items and put random drugs so that they get persuaded easily by him. I opened the door as strong as I can, and there was a gun sound right after I got out of my room. Tamjung got shot on his right thigh, and the cops were breaking the door and rushing into his house. I kicked the door of the mysterious room, and there were all different kinds of valuable items in that room, separated by characteristics. I was looking at the room, and I saw a locked door next to crystal section of jewels. I broke that door and opened it, and there was a horrible smell coming out of the room. I turned the light on, and there were pieces of dead victims lying in a big pile. A cop called me and tried to ask me few questions. After discovering the mountain of corpses, he suddenly passed out and did not wake up until few hours later. I explained all to the cops and plicemen, and got my Golden Diamond back. One of the police came to me and said, “We were actually finding that jewel too, and we even suspected that Tamjung boy was the diamond thief, however we failed to get him every single day. What Tamjung boy did was steal the jewel, try to be like a detective and kill the victims a few days later. What a clever man, I thought. Anyways, it will be our boss’s jewel if that gorgeous item’s name is the Golden Diamond.”
I smiled and said, “Here you go, sir.” Suddenly, he ran away with the Golden Diamond, saying “Thank you, Doctor Kim, to being sincere and kind to me, Tamjung boy. Try to catch me if you can.”
However, a few seconds later, he fell down on the stairs and there was the blood coming out of his right thigh. The cops walked in to him and threw him in the hospital van.
“Hello, Mr. Kim. I am the one who is the buyer of this Golden Diamond, and if you want to check, do whatever you want.”
“It’s alright, I know enough to trust you…dad. Since this mission was my last one, can I go to our house and see my family members?”
“Your mom was actually cooking and she’s waiting for you to come to home, son. Let’s go!”
While my dad and I were heading back home, I thought about this scary, but interesting event that just happened recently. Tamjung will be a beneficial guy for his country’s society if he opens his eyes on positive side. I would consider him as the smartest guy anyone could possibly meet.
