The Nature of Possession

27 – EP.2 The space we made, we made, and we were in-3

***

9 am.

Isa, tied to the chair, turned into a bloody mass and twitched intermittently, but I couldn’t feel a sliver of life there.

Was it immersive for an hour? Her whole body was soaked with sweat and blood.

“Gee, I didn’t think of this.”

Looking at her dirty appearance, she murmured.

Time for early birds to go to work. If you wander around the office for no reason, you will get caught.

“I can’t.”

She checked the blinds in the living room with all the way down, then sat down on the receptionist sofa.

Launching the business messenger installed on her cell phone, she left a chat in the team room.

＞ Imina: I have an important message, so today’s scrum will start at 11:00.

＞ Yoon Hye-young: Heck, I think I’ll be a little late because the car is blocked.

＞ Imina: Please come on time. This is an important event, so please attend without fail.

＞ Imina: I don’t think so, but there is a concern about recording, so please leave your cell phone at your seat.

“after…”

Ruffing her sweaty hair, she took a deep breath.

“I want to see Inho.”

Staring blankly at the ceiling, she murmured.

11 o’clock like that.

Mina looked down at Isa without flinching.

“Are you proud today?”

She smiled and opened her phone again.

＞ Imina: Are you all gathered?

＞ Yuna Kim: Yes, everyone gathered~

“Let’s go.”

She looked in the mirror and straightened her dress.

I tied my wet hair back together and wiped the dried blood stains on my face with a wet tissue.

Turn the lid of the horse box in the moving room.

A strong smell of oil.

Without batting an eye at the strong smell, she pours it on Issa.

– gurgling

After pouring oil all over the room, she opens her second talk again.

– slurring

I drag the horse and leave the room.

***

The conference room where all the team members are gathered is waiting for Lee Mi-na, who has yet to come.

“I told you to meet at 11, and you come late.”

When Yoon Hye-young muttered something dissatisfied, the others agreed.

“But what is the delivery?”

“Maybe… In-ho’s case, he’s telling you to watch your mouth? I think he’ll tell you not to put anything on the blinds.”

“Ah… that’s what happened.”

“It’s a pity, Mr. Inho. Who would have known that a train accident would happen?”

When Yuna Kim said, Hyeyoung Yoon answered.

“I almost went. What would have happened if I had listened to Mina and went down… Ugh.”

“Uh, but what does this smell like?”

Someone grabbed his nose and said at the sudden smell.

“Ugh, what does this smell like?”

The smell was contagious, and everyone glared at the repulsive smell.

“I’ll come see what it is.”

Let Kim Yuna get up and try to open the door.

– Knock.

“yes?”

– Knocking, rattling, rattling.

“Doesn’t the door open?”

A door that cannot be opened because it is blocked by something heavy, people in the conference room are buzzing.

– Roaring.

and rising flames.

Due to the heat transmitted through the door crack, everyone falls from the door.

“Kyaaagh! What is this!”

“Fire, fire!!”

With a cry of fire, everyone clings to them and knocks on the door.

The more they knocked, the more the heat grew, and the people inside burned their skin knowingly or unknowingly.

“Collock Coke”

As the acrid smoke enters the meeting room, a cough spreads in no time.

“help me!!”

“Why the sprinklers!”

Smoke alarms and sprinklers do not work.

In a panic, they could only scream.

“Hand phone!”

“You left everything behind!”

“Ah! Someone do something!!”

A voice that resounds loudly.

***

The flames intensified, and most people had long since collapsed in the acrid smoke.

The fire ate the metallurgical metallurgical conference room, and few people remained sane.

“I have to break through the door first.”

More than half of the door had been burned by the flames, so it looked like it would open with just a little shock.

“Huh? Huh!”

Yoon Hye-young, who was behind everyone, pushed Seo-lim in front.

– Kung!

“Ah!!”

Seorim screamed at the sensation of his flesh being burned, a sensation he had never felt before in his life.

Is it too much of a pain? She couldn’t come to her senses and passed out.

“It’s open.”

The door opened by Seorim’s sacrifice. Yoon Hye-young spurred out of the meeting room laughing like a madman.

– Empty!

Yoon Hye-young steps backwards with a dull sound.

“what?”

Hye-young, who didn’t even know why she was lying down, looked at the faces of her colleagues who hadn’t gotten out yet.

Faces that were bewildered as if they had seen a yaksha that had risen from hell.

Why are you making that face?

Before the question even went away, someone’s face appeared above him as he lay down.

“Good morning, Mr. Hyeyoung Yoon.”

It was Imina.

For some reason, Lee Mi-na was covered in blood.

Hyeyoung couldn’t grasp the situation.

“Mina… a lot..”

and a fire extinguisher falling on her head.

– Kung!

once.

– Kung!

twice.

– Kung!

third time.

A fire extinguisher hits her head.

The sound of bones being crushed echoed through the burning office.

“Whew. You seem not feeling well, so leave early today.”

Putting down the fire extinguisher, Mina said refreshingly.

“Mina…?”

The rest of the team called her.

“Ah? There are people who are still sane. Welcome. I also have a schedule, so I hope to finish it quickly.”

As she nodded, as if telling her to come in, the few people in the conference room started running at her.

***

20 minutes later, sirens are heard in the distance.

It seemed that her efforts to somehow delay the report had worked.

“Whoa…”

Rubbing the scratches here and there, she moved on.

The office was already on fire.

Thick smoke had already filled the room.

A situation where a normal person would already lose their mind.

Because she had already let go of her mind, she was able to not lose her mind.

“It’s over now.”

Looking at the fallen employees, she said.

In conclusion, no one could get out of this floor.

She was satisfied with it.

The exit is already blocked. And she had no intention of leaving in the first place.

The fire started from the edge of the office and slowly expanded its territory into the office.

She sat down in Inho’s seat.

As if stroking someone, I glanced over his desk with my hand.

“Eutcha. I told you to try this, right?”

Holding the caramel popcorn hidden below in her arms, she turns on her cell phone and opens her photo album.

A picture I took with him.

A medium that brings back happy memories.

Bringing back fragments of her memories with him, she smiled.

Inho Mr.

Are you watching?

In-ho, are you going to be angry or say you did a good job…

I do not know.

Oh, but this popcorn is really good.

I would buy it often.

It would have been more delicious if I shared it with Inho.

Me. I really didn’t ask for much.

I just keep working at this company with Mr. Inho, and we stay together like that.

If you’re a little greedy, live together.

I hoped for that.

Because before Mr. Inho came, my life was achromatic.

That’s why I don’t want to think of life without Inho.

Ah… my head is going blank.

I must have drank a lot of smoke.

How far have you been talking?

Oh yeah.

This space… was created by Inho and I, right?

The two of them created an organization that was vague to even call a team from nothing.

By the way, what would this space mean without Mr. Inho?

How funny would it be for someone else to take Inho’s place?

So… I decided to destroy it.

It’s where we built it, so we can break it down.

Yes.

we made

of our time.

our memories piled up.

Our traces are engraved.

The space we created, the space we created, the space we were in.

Inho, I’m sorry.

I… I don’t want to live anymore.

Inho, I miss you.

In her fading consciousness, she felt that In-ho was by her side.

A warm hand wrapped around her shoulder.

She closed her eyes fully feeling the phantasmagoric feeling.

hi.
