Chapter 13
It was different
It was different from any expression I had seen from her all day. It was different from the glittering eyes that made me fearful, and the eyes that frowned as if in seizure. It was a gaze that could be seen when flipping the eyelids of an empty corpse and peering inside. Nothing was reflected, and nothing could be felt.
Just by looking into those eyes, the whole world was bleached gray and white, and it felt like my senses were blurred. Those pupils scattered her body heat away, making it feel like they were just being held in her corpse.
In the short silence, on that strange day that I had never experienced before in my life, my mind stopped for a moment. As I stayed there dazed, her voice hit my ears again.
I asked if you saw anything
I Flinched.
The vibration of the air digging into my ears shook my mind. It wasnt the time to be like this. It was dangerous. It was more dangerous than all the crises I went through today. My survival instinct urged me to come up with an excuse as quickly as possible.
Finally, I opened my mouth.
What do you mean?
The words came out unplanned and awkward. Eun-ahs pupils narrowed. As her pupils grew smaller, I was caught in a strange sense of fear, feeling as though my throat was tightening. I began to make excuses in my mind.
Because I needed something else to turn the situation around.
Mr. Bee?
Her words raised a sense of urgency.
Think. Lets think.
My thought expanded. In the corner of my mind, I replayed the circumstances when her seizures stopped after she exhibited erratic behavior; laugh, sadness, tear, and consolation. Fragmented scenes passed by me like flying debris. In an instant, a light flashed. The trigger for her seizure to stop was when she was satisfied with herself or when
After she was satisfied herself
When my wounds crossed a certain line.
I recalled the moment she cut my wrist in the midst of her seizure. She was scratching my skin like a mad person and muttering to herself. And when the blood burst out, she still kept muttering.
The bleeding
My eyes sparkled. A breakthrough seemed to be in sight. My gaze turned to her. My eyebrows furrowed with difficulty, and my eyes below showed gloominess and trembled. Smooth sentences burst out from my open lips, as if oiled.
In fact, I saw it. Im sorry
The moment I spoke, the eyes stared at me as if they would poke my own eyes out. I wanted to close my eyes and turn away from her right away, but I couldnt do so.
A while ago Before brushing my teeth, after eating, Eun-ah punished me, right?
I continued speaking slowly, borrowing her language. As she fixed her gaze on my moving lips, I moved my right hand towards the left wrist which was out of her sight. My flesh turned blue as the fingers of my right hand crawled up the left wrist.
After that you did treat it, but when you went to wash up, the wound opened up again.
I put all my strength into my right hand and squeezed my left wrist.
It was a sound only I could feel through my flesh. Because she didnt react to this chilling sound in any way. But I had to maintain my expression. I couldnt show my pain. The expression I had to wear now was that of a child confessing his wrongdoing to his parents.
So the blood leaked out I tried to find an ointment
Her eyes fell. I lifted both of my wrists and showed her my damp wrist.
I was going to pick up the ointment, but I was surprised by the sound of Eun-ah coming and came back to bed Im sorry I lied to you.
I forced out some tears. I thought of something sad. It wasnt difficult. Right now, all I had to do was rethink this misery, that was devouring me even at this moment.
At the end of my words, silence ensued.
The silence lasted a long time. After that, Eun-ahs head, which had been bowed down, turned toward me again.
Heeing
A whining sound came to my ear. Her eyes shed tears, reflecting light; she started crying while looking at me.
Ah that hurts right?
Eun-ah, who was muttering with a tear-stained face, stood up.
Now wait a minute
She stretched out her arms across the bed and picked up a bandage and medicine.
I Ill quickly apply the medicine
Eun-ah, who was flustered and moved her body, untied the damp bandage from my wrist and began to treat me. My gaze turned to my wrist.
It sucks.
The skin on my wrist, which had already been turned inside out, was completely crushed by the pressure I used to squeeze it with. While examining the wound, a sudden pain came from the antiseptic that Eun-ah applied over the wound.
Ahh!
Ah does it hurt?
Are you okay?
Just hold on a little longer
Yes
I replied, biting my lip. I looked at Eun-ah, completely focused on treating my wound. The conversation we just had seemed to have been blown away in the wind.
I sighed. The biggest barrier had been overcome. However, the poison I had clumsily put in place would eventually unravel. I had to finish this with a strong push.
Miss Eun-ah?
Yes?
After taking care of my wound for a while, her gaze reached me. She looked at me with an innocent expression as if she knew nothing. As if following her, I made an expression of curiosity and opened my mouth again.
By the way was there something else? I couldnt see anything else because I was in a hurry to find medicine.
Eun-ahs expression seemed to darken for a moment at my words, but right after that, it brightened again as if it had been like that, and she had heard the answer wanted.
Ah no! Theres nothing, so theres nothing to worry about!
Aha, yes.
After she finished speaking, Eun-ah lowered her head again and continued to treat my wounds.
For now, I can relax.
The general doubt was erased. I let go of my tension a little, belatedly recalling the situation from a while ago.
Today was the most dangerous day.
I was certain. It was a face so bizarre that I couldnt put it into words, but even before my mind could comprehend the situation, my instincts had screamed a warning. I let out a tearing scream that this was really dangerous.
What what is there.
Something that made her show signs of abnormality. What is it?
Condom?
No. If that woman knew I discovered it, she would not have attacked me. She was not the kind of person who would hold my life at stake for that. Clothes, medicine, and stands were not that important, but what remained was
Notes, picture frames.
What that woman was trying to hide from me What I shouldnt know?
Clues.
It maybe the clue to escape. I had to confirm it. When I was lost in such thoughts for a while, Eun-ah, who had finished treatment, opened her mouth.
Its its done!
Hearing the voice, my eyes turned to my wrist. I saw a neatly tied bandage.
It was quite a skilled treatment.
Because you cut your own wrist like that too.
It was an acceptable skill. I, who hid my true feelings, showed my gratitude towards Eun-ah with a smile on my lips.
Thank you. I feel much better now.
Hehe
Her face, which smiled awkwardly, looked very happy when I praised or complimented her. If I acted with that in mind, I could avoid todays seizure attack.
This Now, really, sleep Shall we sleep?
Even after sleeping like that during the day, she seemed to be able to fall asleep again, and she started yawning before I knew it.
Yes? Is it late?
Uhh now its time to sleep
She didnt give a specific time, which made me feel frustrated as I couldnt tell the flow of time. At the moment when my irritation was about to rise, I heard her groaning.
Now lie down
Creepy
Chills ran down my spine. Speaking with flushed cheeks gave off a different meaning, so it was a bit scary. I, who was hiding my inner thoughts, laughed and replied.
Haha yes
As soon as I lay down, the belt once again tied around my waist. Then, lying next to me, she stretched out her arms and hugged my chest.
Well, not even this
As they said, humans were creatures of adaptation, unlike when she first touched me and my body reacted, now it had become tolerable even when she wrapped her arm around my chest.
I let out a short sigh and remembered one thing I had forgotten as I watched Eun-ah blinking her eyelids in drowsiness.
Come to think of it, how did she really find me?
No matter how much I thought about this part, I couldnt understand it. Of course, we werent familiar with each other in the first place. It was because the number of women I interacted with in my life was so small that I could count them on my hands.
Oh shit I feel like crying.
When I thought that the first woman I met in my life who liked me was such a crazy woman, I felt depressed. Maybe I sold out my country in my previous life, or did I sell my soul in my past life because I was so desperate for love?
F*ck this isnt right.
I had to go back to the original plan. I pushed away my distracting thoughts and continued with the plan. I needed to figure out how this woman found me. After all, right now, there was no way to prevent her from finding me again after escaping.
I dont think Ill be caught right away if I report her to the police.
Unless that woman was an idiot, she would know that if I ran away, I would first report her. I also had to consider the possibility of her finding me again and catching me, so I needed to know how she found me in the first place.
Should I try it?
My eyes rolled and turned towards her. She looked quite drowsy.
In that state, I think it would be okay to sneak a peek.
Drowsiness impairs judgment. It blocks vigilance.
It seemed a bit early, but it was a possibility worth walking around.
I cant postpone it.
I wanted to escape as quickly as possible. So I had to gather all the clues I could gather as quickly as possible.
Think long, act fast I opened my mouth and called out to her.
Miss Eun?
yes
A response that came a beat late. She seemed quite drowsy. I didnt let my guard down and began constructing my words, carefully selecting the most appropriate ones.
But you must have had a lot of trouble finding me If I had known you were looking for me, I would have come first
Umm Ah It wasnt hard Because I asked for it
Ask? Is there an accomplice?
My mind was awakened and I added a possibility in my head.
Accomplice.
It was a possibility that had been excluded. I had thought there could be no other accomplice since the purpose of my kidnapping was solely for the satisfaction of that woman.
What is there to gain by kidnapping me together?
I needed more information. With that in mind, I pulled out the most gentle voice I could muster and asked her again.
Is it so? Can you teach me too? Im curious.
yes
Her response was still slow. Then, fragments of words spilled out of her mouth.
Hacker Hacker Middle Internet There are many traces It was easy to find
Eun-ah, who had muttered that far, fell asleep in an instant, probably unable to endure the stress anymore. I, who was listening to the story, let out a sigh mixed with dejection at the ridiculously easy answer and regret that came later.
Ah.
Hacker. So that means
I was too active in community posts, so it was easy to find my traces.
My eyes were tight. Suddenly, a person popped into my mind.
Ferguson, you were right.
Today, I missed the person who said that social media was a waste of life.
