“Didn’t you tell Mina?”
When her father asked about the cost of living, which was still not coming in, her mother, who was making bean sprout soup, shook her head.
“I’ve said it, but…”
“And suddenly, what kind of hospital?
He rummaged through the side dishes with his chopsticks, as if he didn’t like it.
“Don’t be so mean. He looks like he’s been hit by work.”
Looking at her husband, her mother continued.
“Right now, he’s the only one making money in the family. It’s not good to say too much.”
“…”
As if it was the truth, her father didn’t say anything.
-Jiing
The woman’s cell phone rang.
After finishing the side dish, she checked her phone.
“I sent it. What? Why did he send so much?”
“Why? How much did you spend?”
“Four thousand…??”
“4 thousand? 40 million won?”
There was a line of KakaoTalk along with the deposit details on the mother’s cell phone.
[All property.]
“He suddenly has this much money.”
Why all of a sudden? Doubts only grow.
***
monday. 8 o’clock.
In preparation for the monthly executive meeting, the director was at work early.
It was because I should have gone through the material and finished preparing for the presentation.
“Whoa…”
Looking at the well-organized materials, he thought.
‘This team leader does a good job.’
It would be better if it had a more docile taste, but I don’t like the way it’s taken for granted.
“Anyway, what should I do with this accident?”
Inho’s death. It is also an industrial accident because it occurred while going down to Busan for work.
I was afraid that the bereaved family would file a lawsuit, so I followed them all the way to the immigration and showed sincerity.
The human heart changes like boiling water, so the unknown of what will happen after the funeral is over, giving him a headache.
I’d just tell you not to go down.
It was a problem that could have been solved in Busan if he had made a phone call.
It was unseemly for Imina to act like a king for no reason, so she insisted on giving her a shot.
I also had the purpose of taking care of my close friend Hyeyoung.
“Okay…”
How would you like to do this?
-smart.
“come in.”
A knock is heard.
The door opens and Imina enters.
“Huh? Are you here early?”
Lee Mi-na, who has severe dark circles, brought an iced americano.
“I woke up a little early. It’s an executive meeting today, right?”
Handing over the coffee, she asked kindly.
‘what? What’s wrong with him?’
The director thought this for a moment, but soon understood.
‘Well, it’s because the strings are off. They’re going to line up now.’
Since you’re good at work, can you roll a few times and kill your personality?
I drank coffee while thinking about that.
“I’m going back to my seat. Good job.”
Sending her away, he took a few sips of coffee.
10 minutes like that.
The director, who was looking at the data, squeezed his neck.
“What… Why are you so sore?”
I also feel that something has slowed down.
“Uh… Huh?”
The tongue is also dull. I try to say something, but the words just don’t come out.
what? why is this why am i here!
He gasps and tries to go outside, but trips and falls.
– Kung.
A heavy sound lifts the office.
“Uhhhhh…”
It continued to make sounds between humans and beasts.
hurry! Anyone come!
“Already… I…!”
Squeeze out and call out the name of someone who might be in the office.
“This… Mina…!”
After a few screams, someone knocked on the living room door.
– smart.
“uuu!”
– Ttogak Ttogak
Footsteps are heard slowly.
Only her shoes were visible to the fallen Issa.
“Oh, what are you doing?”
“119… 119…”
“Did you enjoy your coffee?”
Her voice ran down her spine.
“Eh..?”
The director, who couldn’t even raise his head while lying face down, made a noise that he didn’t understand.
“It’s not good for you to lie down like this. I’ll get you up. Don’t worry, it’s not a drug that will kill you.”
With a whimper, she lifted him up and sat him down in a chair.
The eyes of the director who was sitting in the chair spun around.
Now the only moving parts were the eyes.
“Phew… You’re heavy. Get some exercise.”
Was it because he lifted almost twice as much weight as himself? Mina stole a sweat.
Now facing her, he shuddered at the blade in his hand.
“The world has become very scary these days. If you pay money at a place like Telegram, they’ll send you medicines like this right away, right?”
Mina’s eyes flashed as she said, ‘The weather is fine today.’
“They say it’s a drug that paralyzes the body, but doesn’t kill the senses. They say it’s narcotic. I’m not sure of the exact ingredients.”
She tied him up with tape.
This was to prevent any accidents from happening.
“M… Son…”
I barely spoke, but what came back was no answer.
An eerie sensation was felt in the navel.
“!!!!!”
A knife stuck in the belly button. And Mina holding it tightly.
Mina brought her face closer to Issa and said.
“how about it?”
“Turn it off.”
As the weight of the knife rolls over, his eyes roll.
-match!
Then she lifts her cheek.
“How is it? Oh, can’t you talk? I’m sorry. I was inconsiderate.”
“It’s creepy? It’s like waking up in the wind? Do you have a burning sensation?”
– Kwok.
A blade that digs deeper.
“My heart is now. This is a chew.”
“You can’t dirty the office.”
A clot of blood came up, but the towel covered its mouth.
The towel came in and clogged my throat.
Feeling suffocated, he struggled with all his might.
– Clap clap clap.
With an uncomfortable sound, her hand rises to the pit of the stomach.
“Oops…”
“Come to think of it, the director gave me some advice, right? To work hard?”
The reflection of herself in her eyes that had lost its light was so bizarre.
The fear of death creeping in.
“Usssssssssssssssss.”
– Clap clap clap.
“Usssssssssssssssss.”
– sigh sigh
“Usah hahahahaha!!”
She arched her back with a burst of madness.
Hearing the sound of laughter, his consciousness slowly faded as if he were immersed in sleep.
