The Red Notebook β Episode 12: (The Hidden Place)
Yuri couldn't stop thinking about the USB.
Her father had quit the case.
He had hidden something.
And now someone was telling her to find it.
That evening, Yuri watched her father carefully.
He seemed completely normal.
Too normal.
When he left the room, Yuri noticed something.
He always kept one small key in his pocket.
She had never seen it before.
Later that night, she waited until everyone was asleep.
Then she quietly went downstairs.
Her father's study was dark.
Yuri opened the drawer where she had found the HAN file.
Nothing.
She checked the cabinet.
Nothing.
Then she noticed a small wooden box at the back of the shelf.
It was locked.
Yuri remembered the key.
She hesitated.
Then she heard footsteps upstairs.
She quickly stepped away from the shelf.
The footsteps stopped.
Silence.
Yuri looked at the box again.
Whatever was inside it, her father clearly didn't want anyone to find it.
She returned to her room.
The next morning, her father left the house early.
Yuri waited a few minutes before following.
She watched from a distance as he entered a small cafΓ©.
But he wasn't alone.
A woman was sitting across from him.
Yuri couldn't see their face.
Her father placed something small on the table.
A black object.
Yuri's eyes widened.
The USB.
She stepped closer.
Before she could hear anything, the woman across from her father suddenly looked toward the window.
Yuri ducked behind the wall.
A few seconds later, she looked again.
The woman was gone.
Her father was standing alone.
And the USB was gone too.
Yuri's phone buzzed.
Unknown Number.
βYou were looking for the wrong place.β
Yuri stared at the message.
Another one appeared.
βYour father isn't the only person who knows where the USB is.β
Yuri looked through the cafΓ© window.
Her father was already walking away.
And for the first time, Yuri wonderedβ
Who had he just met?
