***

It was a coincidence. No, since there is a being called God and the concept of causality, is this inevitable?

Inho chewed his lower lip. His legs were shaking as if he was anxious while he was in the taxi.

***

After having a late-night snack with Yoon Sia, he came up to his room and turned on the screen of his cell phone, which he had left unattended.

I thought there must have been several messages from Shin Jeong-ah.

Since I still couldn’t decide how to deal with her, I thought I would at least organize my thoughts by reading the message she sent me.

However, not a single message was sent to Shin Jeong-ah after she was handed over to the police.

It’s strange. Sending hundreds of messages was what he thought was a normal situation.

Just as he was about to press the screen in puzzlement, an alarm came on the messenger, and Inho’s finger touched it.

Before I could do anything about it, there was a picture with a faint outline in his and her chat room.

It’s a dark room, and there’s a bright lump in the upper right corner.

The camera must have been shaken when taking the picture, so the out-of-focus, whitish photo didn’t look normal at first glance.

[Oh, you saw it right away?]

As soon as ‘1’ disappears, words come flying from the other side.

“…….”

In-ho waited for Shin Jeong-ah’s next words.

[It sucks… but I wanted to remain in your memory at least like this.]

Another photo flew in. Clearer focus than before.

Her hands covered in something red, and the burning room.

[hi. I really liked it.]

And the conversation ended. Inho felt like his blood was draining out.

Kang In-ho jumped up from the bed.

As he kicked out the door and went down from the second floor to the first floor, Yoon Si-ah, who was still sitting at the table, looked at him with a shocked look on her face.

“What’s going on?”

“I have to go to Jeong-ah.”

“What does that mean all of a sudden?”

“Taxi, starting with taxis….”

Inho moved his hands busily and called a taxi.

“Inho, why are you acting like this all of a sudden? What happened?”

Yoon Si-ah catches In-ho as he tries to head to the front door.

***

“What, is there a fire?”

The taxi driver muttered as he saw the fire trucks approaching the entrance of the alley.

“Please stop here.”

In-ho held out the card with his good arm, and the taxi driver accepted it.

Kang In-ho and Yoon Sia, who got out of the taxi, passed the fire truck trying to enter and arrived at Shin Jeong-ah’s house.

Perhaps because it was a villa village with buildings close together, many people came out and stamped their feet even in the middle of the night.

As fire trucks were unable to enter due to illegally parked cars and rear trucks, firefighters were seen rushing in with hoses from afar.

Looking at the burning building, Kang In-ho took a step forward.

And Yoon Shia grabbed his arm.

“What are you doing?”

Yun Shia read something in his eyes and her face hardened.

“…….”

“No, right? No way, right?”

Yoon Si-ah asked again what In-ho was about to do.

The fire grew stronger along with the sound of something exploding.

“If you go in, you will die. Can’t you see that flame?”

Yun Shia urgently grabbed his shoulders and shook him, but his strong body stood tall and motionless.

“What movie is this? Is it a novel? What kind of hero are you? Don’t be rude! If you go in, you’ll die!”

Yun Shia urgently hugged him. Her arms wrapped around his waist, as if locking a lock.

“No. I can never let you go. What is this? Are you crazy? Why are you suddenly cheating on the girl you cheated on?”

“Teacher. Please let go of this.”

Hearing Kang In-ho’s words, Yoon Sia tightened her arms even more.

The burning heat of the fire caressed her skin.

“No. No… your arms and legs look like that too, so you’re going in there? Don’t do anything reckless. you are a student Just a student.”

Yun Shia muttered the same thing as she snuggled deeper into her arms.

His arm begins to slowly push against her shoulder.

Yun Sia tried hard not to fall, but due to her strong strength, she was unable to stop herself from falling further and further away.

Just like that, there was a distance of about two steps between him and her.

“…….”

Kang In-ho swung his arm at the sloppily stacked masonry wall.

With a dull sound, the green cast opened slightly.

He grabbed it with the other hand and violently opened the gap, and soon the cast was torn off.

Since both hands were free, the leg cast could be easily removed.

“I’m not doing it out of guilt.”

“Then?”

“When I thought about it, I realized that all of this was my fault.”

“What do you mean?”

“You won’t understand. Because it’s a concept the teacher doesn’t know.”

I slightly changed what I once heard from Solari.

“Teacher. You like me, right?”

At the unexpected remark, Yoon Shia opened her eyes and blushed.

“What does that have to do with the current situation…”

“…right?”

In response to Kang In-ho’s question, Yoon Sia closed her mouth and nodded slightly.

He turned towards the villa.

“That’s why I’m doing this. If I stay here, if I stay here… things will get messy.”

With those words, Kang In-ho ran at full speed toward the villa where the flames were rising.

“If the longer I stay here, the more problems I create and the more things go wrong… I have to take responsibility, right?”

“Student!! Student!!”

There were many voices holding him back, but Kang In-ho never looked back.

After that, Yoon Shia did not see Kang In-ho.

***

“That was the last time.”

The second floor of the cafe, where many Kagong people gather.

Yoon Si-ah, who had someone in front of her, muttered as she remembered that time.

Half a year has passed since that day. The season has suddenly become warmer, and people’s clothes are becoming thinner.

“Was there anything unusual?”

“I also found out later by asking if I knew… but they said there was a deep stab wound on Inho’s neck.”

They say it was difficult to check because everything was burned, but that’s for sure. Yoon Sia added.

“A stab wound?”

“Yes. In-ho was found in the entrance of Shin Jeong-ah’s house, and Shin Jeong-ah was on top of him…”

“The story would be that that kid named Shin Jeong-ah stabbed In-ho.”

“Situation: That’s right. This is just my opinion… I wonder if In-ho miraculously found Shin Jeong-ah and was stabbed in the back while carrying her out…”

“…….”

After hearing Yoon Sia’s explanation, the person closed his eyes and crossed his arms.

It seemed like something was making him angry.

“But… In-ho’s family? You said that. I didn’t know that In-ho had a sister. Because I was a child who never talked about my family.”

“Just… that’s right.”

The other person closed his mouth while trying to explain something.

Yoon Sia, who took this to mean that she did not want to talk, wet her mouth with a sip of coffee.

“Are you from your mother’s family? If you are ‘Lee’.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the other person opened his eyes.

“Anyway, thank you for letting me know. Thanks to you, I learned things I didn’t know.”

The woman with a dull face smiled slightly.

“Yes….”

Yoon Sia blurted out her words, and the other person stood up as if there was nothing more to see.

“Yes, you were nice to him.”

The person who was leaving the cafe seemed to have changed his mind and turned around again.

“Yes?”

“If he had been with you more, the story would have been different.”

The other person left with a smile that was brighter than before.

Yoon Sia felt an inexplicable chill run down her back.

It was clearly a pair of eyes meeting each other, but for some reason, it felt like hundreds of eyes were staring at her at once.
