Chereads / Mari-am / Chapter 23 - Chapter-23

Chapter 23 - Chapter-23

The scene starts with the wolf and snake carrying her somewhere, jumping and passing through roofs of houses meantime Si-U is in his house thinking that Saeng is at least safe even after his ridiculous decision.

Si-U was in a delusion that each of his loved ones is safe and sound but the situation was quite in contrast to his perception.

Si-U feels the need to check on his family as they were too silent unless they are asleep, but they are sleeping since evening time, and right now it's 10 pm, he decides it is better to check than ignore the feeling.

He knocked twice, then slowly turned the handle, and opened the door and find no one in the room, he then looked around, there might be an invasion of those creatures but everything was locked and unharmed, everything in the room looked the same as before.

He then took out his phone and called his sister but she didn't receive it, this made him a little concerned but he ignored it and called her many times but she still didn't receive the call.

Then he called U-ram, he cut his call at first, then Si-U again called him, this time he received the call and told him, " Si-U, There is nothing to worry about. We went outside to bring some necessary items, which are needed for survival, the area is silent too, we are safe, but you don't leave the house at all. We will be back soon".

He felt strange as U-ram's voice sounded a little rough and sore, so he thought maybe due to the cold weather outside.

But he heard something or someone's voice, which felt familiar but due to the tone being too blurry, he couldn't pinpoint it.

Still, he felt like he needs to talk to Saeng about her concept or perception as she might be able to help people in this apocalypse.

On the other side, Saeng slowly opens her eyes and found herself trapped on a stretcher, she looks around.

She tries to recognize the place or a loophole that might become her escape. Then she realized that she was trapped in her lab room, she was shocked as no one knew about this location except her and how they were able to unlock the heavy chain lock as the key was in her handbag, the fact she only knew of.

She observed properly at her surroundings and found that her documents were scattered on the table and her computer screen was on but due to her password lock, they were unable to access it.

She observed that her instruments were displaced from their original position.

She felt anger the first time as she doesn't like people who mess with her work. She felt frustration and annoyance at her condition as she feels miserable being trapped.

She then hears loud footsteps and snakes hissing sounds, she pretended to sleep, and they came in to check on her.

They were fooled by her sleeping act and started talking in front of her, when she heard their conversation about her, the wolf was expressing his anger and some kind of grudge against her, and they somehow got to know that she was behind this phenomenon.

She was a little suspicious about their human self, who were they, who found her place, and they were talking about my childhood and they also mentioned their involvement in her childhood memories, they felt familiar.

Then she got a suspicion maybe they were U-ram and Mi-Ok as they were only the ones who knew her from childhood but she neglected the thought as her friend never shown any hint of grudge or hate or anger or any dark intentions against her as she was always there for her.

But U-ram maybe can have a motive as he seems to be quite defensive around her, since childhood, he was the same but why she didn't know.

Still, he never treated her wrong or hurt her even though he was defensive toward her.

She dismissed the thought but when she heard the wolf call the snake by her name, she felt shocked but she didn't let it show upon her face as she felt a pang of painful hurt in her heart like a sword been stabbed, but she didn't blame them as she also did hurt them.

She heard Mi-Ok's voice, who was also a great supporter of her but right now her voice sounded in pain and anger and she also heard the wolfs voice, which is U-ram, his voice sounded vengeful, guilty, and angry.

Saeng knew that their mental state is not in the right state now, it would be useless to talk to them and make them understand the matter.

Saeng decides to wait for a little and grab the chance to escape from there and then she will go to Si-U, so, that he can help her control them. They are right now feeling wild emotions, which might play out dangerous for everyone.

U-ram stares at Saeng and then at Mi-Ok and questions Mi-Ok's trust in her as she betrayed all of them.

He then speaks in an annoyed tone, " She just wanted to rule and spread chaos. She is not good for Si-U.

She never can understand, and she is just emotional waste as she can never know emotions".

Mi-Ok hisses at him, and tells him, " Even though she might have hurt me and gave me a wound, still, she is not an emotional waste. My brother messaged us about this location as he followed her when she went after meeting him in the evening time.

He wanted me to meet her as she seemed sick, but you insisted to come, then when we arrived at the location, there was this old building, which was locked but due to your wolf features, we could crash through the window by the help of me carrying you up high crawling through the building wall.

I was shocked to see a secret lab and we also saw so many bundles of documents.

We searched through every corner, then we found a file, where Saeng's name as a legal scientist was registered and mentioned in it.

This phenomenon caused by her was like a painful shock for me. She will be punished later but you have no right to punish her, she may have done the wrong thing or crime, but you are not permitted to torture her, that is not justice.

We agreed to just make her admit her crimes and ask her to stop this. We will make her do that".

U-ram grunts in annoyance, he glares at Mi-Ok but seeing the hurt expression on her face, his eyes soften and he becomes calm and hugs her body.

He assures her, " Everything will turn out fine but we need to act strict toward her, she might need to go through pain but it will be for her good".

Mi-Ok looked puzzled at his statement, then suddenly U-ram changes his topic and diverts her attention to her brother, who had called them many times.

She thought about her brother, who must have figured out now, that they are not in their rooms. We need to return home and also explain to him how they got transformed to.

Saeng heard it all, her sob escaped out of her mouth and which was heard by them and they came near to her and observed her facial expression, which looked like she is felt pain and betrayed, which means she might be pretending, U-ram then tightens the stretcher's belt.

Saeng screamed in pain as it was suffocating her body, then he loosen the grip of the belt upon her body.
