chapter 19
19 – Haerin Kang (19)
Haerin Kang (19)
“Are you really on your own like that?”
Silence subsided at Baek Yu-ram’s words.
… it’s gone.
Kang Hae-rin, who stood up holding my sleeve, did not react in particular to Baek Yoo-ram’s words.
He just stood there with an expressionless expression, fixing his strangely dark red eyes on the opponent.
Baek Yoo-ram flinched as if he felt something in it, but he looked into Kang Hae-rin’s eyes until the end.
“what. What would you do if you looked at me like that?”
food.
Kang Hae-rin’s mouth went up fish-like.
Since she came here today, as far as I know, it was the closest smile to her ‘real face’.
“Should I call you Mr. Yu-Ram, no, senior Yu-Ram?”
“…Is it when you suddenly ask for a name?”
“Yoo-ram, do you like music?”
“… What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
Baek Yoo-ram raised his hand on his waist and looked at me and then at Park Se-young, then looked at Kang Hae-rin again.
“I like classical music. I hope senior Yu-Ram likes classical music too. Popular songs are a bit… I don’t like them… There’s such a thing as an atmosphere, right?”
Haerin Kang said.
“Hey, Lee Dong-min.”
Baek Yoo-ram told me.
“… This man, are you sick?”
“Ah, ahahahaha… Hold on… Hold on, boys.”
I got in between them.
f*cked.
I jumped up, pushed Kang Hae-rin’s back, and went to the room where I usually write and locked the door.
I grabbed Kang Haerin’s shoulder and made eye contact.
“Harin, are you okay?”
“……”
Haerin Kang, as if having an interesting idea, looked a little lower and smiled strangely.
When I shook my shoulders, he looked at me.
“Yeah, honey. Sure.”
… No, you’re not okay.
The moment her red eyes lit up, I realized that she was being driven by a powerful murderous intent.
That strange laugh was also the laugh of someone who confirmed what he had to do.
Baek Yoo-ram’s provocation rather gave a sense of security.
The reason why I asked about my taste in music was obvious.
execution song.
She decided to kill Baek Yu-ram, and requested the execution song ‘directly’ to the prey.
Such a ‘deception tactic’ is also a pattern.
It takes at least 3 ‘strikes’ to kill her, but that’s just a formality.
There is no one without sin in the world.
Kang Hae-rin will find Baek Yu-ram’s flaws.
“…why did you ask to see each other in the room?”
I asked Haerin Kang.
“… um…”
she chuckled.
“I forgot. lol.”
she sticks out her tongue
… it’s not.
It’s not that I forgot, it’s that it’s meaningless now.
Because you chose the latter between killing me and me.
That’s never going to happen.
“I will wait for you all. let’s go I’m sorry for being sensitive all of a sudden while playing with my friends, darling.”
She said it was nothing, and tried to put her hand on the locked doorknob.
I grabbed her wrist.
“… Dongmin?”
I held her cheek and kissed her.
It was so intense that Kang Hae-rin had a hard time breathing.
“… Ugh.. Do, Dongmin…?”
I wanted to tell her, but I couldn’t, so I hugged her waist and pursed my lips even more deeply.
Erase all the murderous intentions that have arisen now.
Pull Kang Hae-rin’s lower back towards my belly, so that each other’s stomachs touch each other.
“… Wait, wait…”
She put her hands on my chest and tried to push me away.
The flushed face or troubled expression didn’t seem to dislike me, but the expression of bewilderment was evident.
I wrapped her shoulders and arms tightly to keep her from escaping, and lightly kissed her neck.
“I’m sorry…”
Haerin Kang slightly bounced his back.
“Honey, this is… if you suddenly do this…”
I have no choice but to do this.
To get rid of the toxins in your head.
If you want to erase the culprit that I planted in you and often caused the urge to kill.
“Harryn.”
“Yes…”
Kang Hae-rin, now blushing, barely answered.
“Shall we let them go?”
I actively asked.
“……”
“I want to be alone with you. It was a mistake.”
“… now?”
“I wanted to introduce you to a friend, but it seems like you are the only one to me. You did something wrong.”
“But I’ve come so far…”
“no. I only need you, Harin. So Haerin just needs you and me, right?”
Kang Haerin trying to avoid my eyes.
I turned her head and forced her to face me.
I definitely had to get an answer.
‘You’re not going to kill Baek Yu-ram, right?’
Finally Kang Hae-rin said in a small voice.
“… of course.”

opened the door
The living room was quiet.
Baek Yoo-ram was sitting on the sofa with her arms crossed and her legs crossed, and Park Se-young was also sitting on the sofa with her arms between her legs and looking around.
Baek Yoo-ram’s gaze was fixed on the chicken stir-fried soup, which was cooling down, but Park Se-young diligently went back and forth between fluorescent lights, TVs, and potted plants, as if very uneasy.
The eyes of the two reached me quietly.
I walked over to Baek Yu-ram and said quietly.
“…Yuram-ah, even cooked for me, I’m sorry, can I see you next time? Harin is not feeling well right now, so I think I need to take care of her.”
I thought it wasn’t a little while saying it, but I couldn’t think of a good excuse other than this.
“okay?”
Baek Yu-ram smiled cynically.
“Where are you sick? Maybe a head?”
She spoke loudly, as if to hear.
… Oh please.
I said urgently.
“Uh, uh… I think I have a little headache. You seem to have a cold, but I’m sorry if you guys get caught here for no reason. I’m sorry for you too. request. huh? let’s play again next time I’m really sorry.”
“Nope?”
“……..”
Baek Yu-ram said as if he had decided.
“why? We’ll take care of you too. Even if you look at it like this, it seems to work pretty well. We’ll cook the porridge, and we’ll change the towel on your head. how is it? Are you okay, Harin?”
Why is he talking like this?
I felt a chill creeping out of Kang Hae-rin, who was standing a little further away from me.
“It’s because I hate myself. sorry. really. I’ll explain the circumstances properly later, so go ahead. My girlfriend is sick, so I’m not comfortable! Harin says it’s okay, but I don’t think I’ll be able to.”
“… sister… just go.”
Park Se-young timidly pulled Baek Yu-ram’s sleeve.
“…you know there’s a situation…”
Baek Yu-ram sighed at Park Se-young’s words.
“Ha, yes, good. I’ll go.”
Finally, the two stood up one after another.
I escorted them to the front door.
I wanted to explain the situation in more detail, but Kang Hae-rin will notice if I show any regrets.
That all of this is acting.
“… bye.”
“……”
thud.
The front door was closed.
I heard the ticking of the living room clock.
Ah, why is my relationship like this?
I messed up again.
They will definitely not want to mix with me.
“Haerin, would you like to sit on the sofa?”
There are still things left to sort out.
By making it clear that I was not interested in Baek Yu-ram, I had to cut off interest in her as well.
A few more mind games remain.
I was about to get tired already, but I pretended nothing was wrong and put the pots and side dishes on the table in order.
As a result, Baek Yoo-ram and Park Se-young ended up leaving after only cooking this dish.
There is no such thing as garbage.
I will definitely buy some rice later.
Togeja is basic.
I closed the refrigerator door and turned around.
Kang Hae-rin was sitting on the sofa where Baek Yu-ram had been sitting, crossing her legs.
She was dazed, as if she wasn’t here.
That was a bad sign.
I had to get her to focus exclusively on ‘me’, so she didn’t get any crazy thoughts.
At least for the moment when she feels lust for me.
As long as I pay attention to my actions.
As long as I pay attention to her.
She won’t think of murder any more.
But did I see her too easily?
There was an unexpected attack.
“Dongmin, can I ask you something?”
I sat down next to her.
“then. What?”
“Do you remember our first meeting?”
“……..”

“… Yes, there’s no way I’m satisfied with that.”
I sat in front of my laptop and muttered in despair.
Tadat, Tadat.
[… After Kang Hae-rin visited Lee Dong-gwan’s house, she found out that he was alive and well. He was making fun of the woman next door. It was like when Kang Hae-rin herself decided to kill him ‘one day’.]
I drank cold tea.
[… Lee Dong-gwan was definitely the person she ‘killed’ before she met Lee Dong-min. At the time, I didn’t know that the two were father and son. Had I known, I wouldn’t have killed him. I couldn’t believe that the blood of such a dirty man also flows in the blood of Kang Hae-rin’s angel, Lee Dong-min.]
I watched Kang Hae-rin’s psychology be described.
[… Apparently she killed Lee Dong-gwan. However, he is alive. If so, the important trigger that made it possible for Lee Dong-min and Lee Dong-gwan to meet was missing. How could this be? After hesitating, Kang Hae-rin had no choice but to ask Lee Dong-min. “Do you remember how we first met?”]
It was arrogant to think I had convinced her.
A few hours ago, when she returned home, strange reactions began to appear on the notebook depicting her psychology.
[.
[… There were parts in his explanation that matched her memories, but in the parts that could be confirmed… it was a lot of water… it was because it was a scam…]
and around midnight.
The laptop stopped working.
