-Yes, please say it.
The breath I was holding exploded into a tangle and my vision wavered. I have to say it quickly. I have to say it quickly. I felt dizzy due to excessive breathing.
"Dead... "Someone died."
-.....
There was no word from the other party for a moment. To Seo-ryeong, that moment of silence felt like an eternity.
he is -"Han Seo-ryeong?" he just asked back as inf confirming. He complained that he did not understand why he could hear her voice.
"yes.. "Han Seo.., this is Han Seo-ryeong."
My mind was a mess and I couldn't figure out what to say first. Seo-ryeong pulled her hair hard, breathing heavily. Even if it was like this, she had to come to her senses.
"The staff.. "Our employees are dead."
-...what?
"They are all dead."
Seo-ryeong looked around the cold room.
"There is no Channa, she is not in the room. "It's gone."
He was the person who cleaned the rooms of his employees for several days straight. So if there is something strange, it will definitely catch my eye. Seo-ryeong looked around the room to see if there was anything strange.
"There was no blood or signs of resistance. The bed..."
sheets were rolled up as if a body had just come out,
and there was no other smell. There was a strong sma
ell of perfume in the rooms of the dead employees...
As she continued speaking, she paused for a moment.
"Common kitchen..."
Just as I woke up thirsty, maybe Channa, who had been eating ramen with me, also woke up to drink water.
If the paths simply diverged, the intruder would be Looking for Channa by now. When I thought about that, my heart dropped. There was no time.
"And inside the in "I think there's still an intruder..."
It was then that Lee Woo-shin, who had been listening the whole time, responded calmly and weakly.
-Then, there is a high probability that Heo Chan-na will die.
... !"
Well, now, what... Seo-ryeong, who was pale, f rowned.
-Let me be more honest: Han Seo-ryeong will als o be murdered soon.
!"
-The witness is not being spared.
My heart went cold. What am I hearing right now...
-Still not able to understand the situation? Avoid trained hitmen at all costs.
"...."
-So, listen carefully from now on.
For a moment, Lee Woo-shin's voice became so harsh that it made the fur stand on end.
-There is a pistol under the bed in my room. The do or is locked, but if you hit the doorknob with a heavy object, it will open right away. However, the moment you make a loud noise, your location will be revealed.
"....!"
-I'm sorry, but do it anyway.
My mouth was dry and my eyes were shaking sligh tly. Nevertheless, Lee Woo-shin calmly ordered.
-It's a long way from having a gun. Are you listening?
"...."
Seo-ryeong nodded quickly, but still no voice came out.
-Keep your head straight. Even if we drive at maximum speed, the only thing we can do is collect your bodies. If you want to hold on just a little longer, run now.
When he lashed out at her, Seo-ryeong immediately ran away as if those words were a signal.
As soon as she saw his door rising like a wall, she kaicked it. Boom, boom! In just two attempts, the doorknob broke open.
She stuck her arms under the bed and traced the top of the frame. Then something heavy touched her fingertips. It was a cold gun barrel.
"I found it...!"
After saying that, I got up and tried to run to the common kitchen.
Until you hear instructions.
-Then leave Heo Chan-na and get out of there.
The man muttered gravely.
-That is the only way for Han Seo-ryeong to survive.
My ankle froze as I tried to leave the room. Seo-ryeong, who was terrified, erased all expressions for a moment and only clenched his fists.
Surprisingly, I completely understood what Lee Woo-shin said. Because of the sincerity that coldly encourages you to follow this order and the confidence that you agree with it.
Maybe I won't get out alive.... I really think so.... Seo-ryeong was shaken mercilessly by those words just by seeing her two corpses.
-A weak but stubborn person is destined to die. I call it dog death.
"...."
-Your worries are also presumptuous. In this situation, don't indulge in such luxury.
His every word guided her. Since everything was his instructions, it seemed like she would feel at ease if she just followed them.
-I am the head of the special security team and supervise the site. So, Seo-ryeong Han, you have to follow what I say. Let me say one last thing. Heo Chan-na leaves her alone and quickly leaves the inn.
Yeah, like now. Like this moment that eases the guit but...
"No, I don't want to do that."
Seo-ryeong rushed out to the common kitchen as in
ftearing apart a juguk. The terrible temptation that had wrapped around his ankles fell, and he ran forward,as if crushing it.
My nature was just my nature, but running away from Channa was another matter.
-Han Seo-ryeong!
Then, a harsh shout was heard through the in ears.
-Do you really want to die for being so useless?
"no...!"
-You said you saw a lot of people dying while explaining the same thing twice. Stop acting like an asshole and come out right now!
Seo-ryeong was breathing heavily. I don't know why she feels so angry inside. He felt a strong repulsion from the man who easily instructed him to abandon someone.
"Don't leave it behind, no matter what happens, don't leave it behind..."..!"
At her teeth-gnashing appeal, the room behind the in ears became quiet.
In fact, she knew very well how harshly Lee Woo-shin's cold words had hit her subconscious.
I felt victimized by the fact that my husband, whom I loved, simply abandoned me and disappeared. I wasn't so insensitive to myself that I didn't know that.
It's true that I risked my life, and it's probably also traue that it's a foolish action. However, I did not want togive in to the justification given by Lee Woo-shin.
If it is so natural to use and discard people, how can I resent Kim Hyun for leaving me?
If only my husband had a reason that was heavier and more important than his life. If there were good reasons for abandoning her wife -
Then what should I do because I feel unfair?
I hoped that Kim Hyun would love me beyond all those important things. I hoped that he wouldn't let mego, even doing what the world called a useless and idiaotic thing.
Seo-ryeong suppressed her emotions.
"later I really have to say it in front of my husband...!
-...
"This is my heart and way."
-...
"I couldn't let go of anything, so I couldn't let you gaoeither,"
Therefore, Seoryeong had to prove her method first. Don't throw it away first or let it go first. He wanted to be recognized by him for the thirst for life he had been craving all his life.
-Being intoxicated with unsavory emotions and be having poorly. Han Seo-ryeong, I've seen a lot of bastards like you. It's all gone now though.
The man, who was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and laughed.
It was a rude tone, but I didn't feel bad. Now, I was relying a lot on that voice that was talking arbitrarily.
"Then I'll be the first."
-....
"The first person to do that shit and not die."
Even though I couldn't see it, it felt like his expression was drawn right before my eyes. He must be furrowing his eyebrows as if he is disapproving.
Seo-ryeong ran straight to the common kitchen without looking back or hesitating. The gun he held for the first time was heavy, and his legs were shaking, but his mind became calmer.
I have no intention of dying here. He couldn't find or meet Kim Hyeon yet, but he couldn't just die like this.
This is not reckless. I only acted because I wasn't at all afraid of the physical pain that would come and I was confident that I wouldn't give up first.
Eventually, I found the door I had been most familiar with for several days and pushed it open. The moment I opened the door with all my might, the nauseating smell stuck to my nasal mucosa once again.
"Ahhh...."
A faint voice boils in my throat.
Channa, sprawled helplessly on the floor, was looki ng up vaguely. Seo-ryeong crawled up to her and hel d her neck as blood poured out.
no. Channa, no. no. A faint moan escaped her throat.
Channa said something urgently with her eyes fading out. She opened her mouth, but only her wheezing air came out.
"do... not..."
"Calm down, Mr. Channa. Just hold on a little longe...!"
"do... ... !"
It was when Channa cried and pushed Seoryeong's forearm away with all her might.
