Miraculous Brothers (The Miracle Brothers / Gijeogui Hyeongje / 기적의 형제)

How did you write this novel?

What kind of a question is this?

Did you actually write this?

Goodness.

What are you trying to say right now?

Was the story of this novel...

written by you as pure fiction?

If it wasn't pure fiction, what could it be?

Did an actual case inspire this book?

No!

A novel is fictional, a literary creation of the writer.

I get inspirations from all kinds of places.

Once they're processed up here, intuition begins to take root.

Then imagination is used as the nutrient to grow the stalk,

which spreads out branches to make the tree called...

The murders in your novel are happening in real life.

What?

Excuse me.

This includes minute details that only detectives in charge know,

and the MO are very similar too.

It was as if you saw the scene of the murder.

Is imagination a crime?

Or it may not be imagination.

Wait, are you saying I'm acting out...

the murders of my novel in real life?

Is that the case?

What kind of nonsense is that?

There's no author stupid enough to murder...

by copying their own work.

Don't get me wrong. - You're making it sound wrong!

A detective must investigate when there's suspicion,

so I'm simply here to do my job.

There's an American science fiction novel...

called "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline.

The world imagined by him in a novel ten years ago is...

now playing out in virtual reality of the internet.

And Isaac Asimov introduced autonomous cars in his novels...

a long time ago!

Things from a novel can always happen in real life!

Someone sent me your book.

It wasn't any of my acquaintances,

and you just said you didn't send it to me either.

And?

Someone sent this to me with an intention.

Then I guess this crazy psychopath is...

using the novel to commit copycat crimes.

That's impossible.

The incident began to unfold before the book was published.

If the case in this book is getting re-enacted,

the ones who can do that are only the people...

who had access to the content before it was published.

Wait.

In the end, you're trying to say I'm the suspect.

I'm just trying to undo the mystery.

You should conduct a scientific investigation.

Why are you here writing a novel?

Where were you after 11pm on September 19?

By any chance,

do you know me?

You looked very much like someone I knew.

I was mistaken.

I'm sorry.

Wait.

Wait!

Don't you know me?

Am I not that person...

you said I looked like?

No.

It can't be you.

Why not?

Because that person is as old as I am.

I see.

Please excuse me.

Wait.

What's your father's name?

You looked so much like him,

so I began to think he might be your father.

I don't remember.

I remember exactly what happened on that day,

because it was an unforgettable one.

I was with you!

The thunder. The lightning. The car accident. Emergency room.

Don't you remember?

Right.

You checked my alibi,

so if you're done asking questions, please leave.

I'm busy.

I'm sorry, but may I have a cup of water?

Mineral water, if possible.

Good grief.

How long does it take until a novel is published?

Why do you ask?

I'm just curious.

Was there anybody who read your manuscript...

or knew about the contents before it was published?

I always work alone...

You've done something utterly dangerous.

This novel was not supposed to come out into the world.

Is there someone?

No.

I see.

Here.

Thank you.

You said you were busy, so I should leave for today.

Sure.

Twenty-seven years ago, a homeless person was found dead...

at a lake near the capital area.

It was the same year as the year in your novel,

the year 1995. Both the victim and the perpetrator were homeless.

But there are many discrepancies from the novel too.

The novel says the perpetrator who got arrested...

was actually framed.

You make it sound like I've written a novel...

full of worn-out clichés.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I need a background check.

Yuk Dong Ju.

Yes, the writer. Thanks.

Sopyung Lake.

I lost my memories in a car accident.

I should go.

I have to take an MRI scan before I'm discharged.

Wait.

Will you give me a call?

I don't mean much by this.

I just wanted to have a talk.

Give me a call whenever you can.

Okay.

She's just like Dong Ju.

I don't see...

or hear anything.

What's wrong?

Young man.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Goodbye.

Kang San.

Somewhere over here.

"The fiery pit was empty."

"The devils are all here."

"As T begins to kick faster,"

"his hands and feet begin to cower even more."

Hey, that's it. - Take this!

I'll get you. - My turn.

Me too!

Hey, move out!

Take this! - Yes!

Please let me go. - You got it on me.

"Their bloodshot eyes are filled with madness."

"J and S begin to shriek louder as they jump on the man."

Shut it.

"K's camera continues to roll."

All good. - "His crouched legs..."

"flop to the sides helplessly,"

"showing his pale stomach."

"J and S continue to sneer."

"They follow P's order..."

"and begin to drag the man covered in dirt and blood."

"To the lake."

"A trail of blood follows them atop the dark street,"

"as if they've become hunters."

"'Stop it.' Those words didn't quite make it out."

"I couldn't shake away a speck of dust..."

"before I got rammed into the dark floor."

"It rotates. It rotates again."

"The wheel of the evil begins to rotate again."

Why do you care?

"Like a stone on the roadside..."

"pushed this way and that way by cartwheels,"

"he rolled up his body as much as he could,"

"hoping this nightmare would end as soon as possible."

No.

"That girl is crying."

"She's crying."

Hey!

"How much longer until the morning comes?"

"Just as darkness disappears when the sun rises,"

"will everything disappear when the morning comes?"

"Once I wake up, will this all be nothing but a dream?"

"Perhaps the morning would never come..."

"as long as this wheel of evilness..."

"would not stop."

"They're like wild dogs flocking to an old sheep..."

"that is yet to die,"

"letting out its heavy breaths."

"The fiery pit is still empty."

"The devils are all here."

If the case in this book is getting re-enacted,

the ones who can do that are only the people...

who had access to the content before it was published.

No, this is impossible.

It's just a coincidence.

You crazy jerk.

What has he done?

What?

My gosh! - My gosh!

You won't do that again, right?
