31. Seohyun

“…!!”

Her tone was as gentle as an older sister looking at her younger sister after her first date, but Seo Hyun’s eyes on Seo Yoon were so cold she could have pissed her pants.

It wasn’t the look of a colleague belonging to the same group anymore, no, it was a face that didn’t even treat her like a human, let alone a colleague.

Just looking at her made all the energy in her body drain away, and cold sweat poured out of every sweat gland like crazy.

A look on Seo Hyun’s face that she should never have seen.

She had seen the face that determined the worst fate.

Chwarararak!!

All the lights in the warehouse were turned on.

The brightly lit interior was several times more horrific and gruesome than what she had glimpsed on her phone.

Sseueuk.

Seo Hyun lowered her hand from Seo Yoon’s shoulder and stroked her body.

At first, she gently caressed her, then slowly massaged her arms, and later, she fondled her pelvis and chest with both hands.

She was wearing a thick coat, so she didn’t feel much, but Seo Yoon couldn’t do anything and just stiffened, enduring the chilling touch.

“I really don’t understand.”

Seo Hyun, who had been fondling her for a while, took her hands off Seo Yoon’s body and turned around.

Then, she plucked things from the corpses of the men lying nearby, like picking mushrooms.

“Heup..!”

Eventually, Seo Yoon felt something rising from within and covered her mouth.

She was the former secretary of the D10 Korean branch manager, but she hadn’t witnessed anything particularly disgusting, so her senses were close to those of an ordinary person.

It was only natural that something would rise from within her after suddenly seeing such a gory scene.

However, she desperately held back, fearing that a real disaster would occur if she threw up what was inside.

Kkuuk.

Regardless of her appearance, Seo Hyun gripped the object in her hand tightly.

Shriveled and soaked in blood, it was disgust itself.

Indeed, Seo Hyun’s expression holding it was not good at all.

“I don’t know why people risk their lives for this kind of thing. It doesn’t even feel good, does it?”

She looked at it with the eyes of someone looking at a bug, then threw it on the floor and crushed it with her heel.

“Well, I had a boyfriend before I met Ju-in-nim (Master-nim)… and I had quite a bit of experience… but that was before I met him, so I didn’t know any better… but what about you guys? How can you bitches who spread your legs for Ju-in-nim (Master-nim) even think of other things?”

She looked at Seo Yoon with eyes that truly didn’t understand.

Her gaze was so chilling that she unconsciously took a couple of steps back.

“Even if you put aside loyalty or anything like that, once you’ve been violated by Ju-in-nim (Master-nim), you shouldn’t be able to think of any other guy. What are you thinking?”

Seo Hyun came closer and lifted Seo Yoon’s chin with her long, slender finger.

“Huh? Answer me.”

Like a queen!

She looked down at Seo Yoon, who was trembling endlessly.

“Well, do I really need to know? I can just deal with bitches like you as they come.”

“Th, th, th…”

“Th?”

“D..don’t…do this…!”

“Ha. What are you saying.”

“I didn’t do it….”

“Do what?”

“I…I didn’t do anything!”

Even though she was overwhelmed with fear, Seo Yoon shouted firmly.

That’s right.

She hadn’t done anything.

She had just eaten with him a few times.

“I, it’s because of…of the wind…! I didn’t do anything!”

“Hey. Can you not be a bitch?”

“I’m serious! We just…just ate together…!”

Seo Yoon finally closed her eyes tightly and pleaded with tears.

It was unfair.

If she had at least gone to a motel a few times and experienced this, she wouldn’t feel so wronged.

She had just been eating with him and was about to properly cut off her relationship with Yoo Eun and make some progress.

“That’s cheating, you fucking kidding me?”

“No! It’s not!!”

A matter of life and death.

She had no choice but to be desperate.

Seo Yoon denied Seo Hyun’s suspicions with all her might.

“Then what about the guy you were meeting earlier?”

“That’s….”

“Well, whatever, I’ll believe you since you say you didn’t.”

Seo Hyun smiled and moved away from Seo Yoon.

The fact that she backed down so easily amplified her anxiety.

Seo Yoon’s pupils trembled incessantly.

“But you know. This creature called man can’t help but have ulterior motives towards women, especially pretty women? It’s even worse if they eat together alone.”

“….”

“In other words, even if you didn’t do anything, that guy dared to harbor ulterior motives towards Ju-in-nim’s (Master-nim’s) woman.”

“What kind of…!”

“Maybe he’s a stalker? You didn’t want to meet him, but he kept clinging to you.”

“That’sㅡ,”

She tried to deny it.

A stalker.

He was definitely not that kind of person.

But her words were blocked by Seo Hyun.

“Think carefully. Think carefully about what the answer you give here means. You should always think before you speak. Right?”

“…!”

I see.

It was a predetermined answer.

She had to answer ‘yes’ here.

She had to drive her crush into being a stalker to survive.

Cruel.

It was truly cruel.

“Can’t you see that behind you? I’m giving you a chance because you’re a former secretary. Huh?”

“…Keup….”

Seo Yoon closed her eyes tightly.

The things spread out behind Seo Hyun were scenes that she couldn’t possibly see with a clear mind.

Besides, the women lying around looked dead to her.

Because they were with a corpse that was split in half.

So there was no way she could see it.

The thought that she would die so horribly if she answered wrong dominated her mind.

“Maa…”

In the end, the answer she chose while sobbing was ‘that answer’ that Seo Hyun gave her.

But her lips wouldn’t part easily.

“Maa…Maa…”

“Maa what?”

Tears streamed down her face.

She wouldn’t have anything to say even if he cursed her in hell.

“That’s right…yo….Heuk heuk…”

She ended with sobs.

She drove her crush into being a stalker and chose the path to save her own life.

“Right? He forced you to meet him, right? By force. You had no choice but to meet him a few times.”

Nod.

Seo Yoon didn’t even have time to answer and just nodded.

“Is that so? That’s very different from what you said?”

“…?”

Seo Hyun said, turning around.

Seo Yoon’s body stiffened with the thought that it couldn’t be.

A sack that had been thrown away carelessly.

When Seo Hyun lifted the opening of the sack, a bloody man glared at Seo Yoon with resentful eyes.

“…!!”

It was her crush.

The eyes that had gazed at her so kindly had returned with a look of hatred.

“Hey.”

Seo Hyun stepped on his cheek.

“Keuk….Kkuueok….”

“Why did you lie? You should tell the truth properly.”

There was tape on the man’s mouth.

He couldn’t say anything and just had to endure Seo Hyun’s beating.

Seo Hyun, who had been crushing him in front of Seo Yoon, gestured to some maids, and they brought several kettles.

“Well, I was roughly expecting it. There’s no way someone like Seo Yoon-ssi (Ms. Seo Yoon) would do something stupid like having a crush or trying to date without knowing the difference between right and wrong, or trying to get away from Ju-in-nim (Master-nim).”

Seo Hyun stood the man up and received a kettle.

Then, she pried open one of the man’s eyes with one hand and fixed it.

“It’s all this bug’s fault. So it’s a punishment. Watch carefully, Seo Yoon-ssi (Ms. Seo Yoon). Don’t look away. You must have been very stressed from being stalked all this time, so take this opportunity to relieve it all.”

“Wh…what…are you…try…ing to do….”

Seo Yoon asked, shedding tears and speaking in an almost pleading tone.

She couldn’t bear to feel sorry.

“First, I need to mess up those hateful eyes, right? That way, he won’t covet Ju-in-nim’s (Master-nim’s) woman again.”

“Eueubueueup!!! Euebeub!!!”

The man started to struggle.

“Huh? Stay still. It’ll splash.”

Seo Hyun tilted the kettle against the man’s open eye.

“Eueueueueup!!!!”

She knew it by feeling.

What was inside.

Chiiiiiiiiik!!

“Ppeueueungeueup!!!!”

Water boiled at 100 degrees was poured into his eye.

It instantly cooked his eye and overflowed beyond it.

Each of those streams became pain and was engraved as a burn, and one of the most important senses for the man, sight, was lost.

“Ah…Aaa….”

Seo Yoon, who couldn’t turn away from the gruesome sight and just stomped her feet, eventually collapsed on the spot.

She mourned him with endless tears and cursed herself, Goong, and Im Seo Hyun at the same time.

“Why are you making such a fuss? There’s still one left. It’s not over.”

Even at the sight of the man struggling with tears of blood, Seo Hyun opened the other eye without any emotion.

His struggle became even more severe, but she tilted the kettle without hesitation this time as well.

“Heuk…Eueheuk…”

The man’s choked screams, the sound of flesh cooking, and Seo Yoon’s cries echoed in the warehouse.

“Hmm. I guess he won’t be able to open his eyes again at this point?”

Seo Hyun pondered for a moment and then, with an “Eit!” tore off the tape attached to his mouth.

Just as the man was about to shout something, she put the spout of the kettle in his mouth first.

“Eueueup!!!”

Of course, he would feel extreme pain just from the fact that it was made of metal, but when had she ever cared about such things?

She tilted the kettle without a moment’s hesitation.

Hot water, just below 100 degrees, poured into his throat, sentencing him to a lifetime of pain.

“Gyaek…Keuk…Geugyaek….”

The man, whose eyes were poured with hot water and whose internal organs were warmed through his mouth, collapsed without being able to move and gasped.

All of his major organs must have been warmed up, so if left like this, he would surely die.

Seo Hyun put the empty kettle on the floor.

“Take care of the rest.”

“Yes.”

Soon, the maids took the kettle and poured hot water on the man’s body here and there, and he eventually died soon after.

A painful and terrible end.

Seo Yoon couldn’t stop crying at the shocking event.

“Keuk…Eueheuk….”

“Why are you crying? Is it because it’s so refreshing? Well, I guess it could be.”

Seo Hyun approached her and squatted down.

Then, she grabbed her hair and pushed her face close.

“I’m ending it with a special warning. Do you understand?”

“Yes…Yes….”

+++

After roughly treating the women and sending them back, Seo Hyun called Eun So-ryeong, a police maid, and Shin Do-hee, her superior and a rookie maid, to the warehouse.

In fact, cleaning up the corpses wasn’t a difficult task, but she intended to test them since the police chief had become a maid this time.

“Why are you calling me to the warehouse so scary? You’re already a scary bitch~. You’re not trying to chop me up, are you…Heop! Oh my god….”

The door of the warehouse opened, and Eun So-ryeong and her team entered first.

So-ryeong, who came in muttering in her usual rough tone, was startled by the tragedy in the warehouse and spat out a curse.

“You’re here?”

Seo Hyun greeted her, and at that timing, Shin Do-hee entered after Eun So-ryeong.

“What’s going on…?!”

She was also greatly surprised to see the tragedy inside.

No, it would be more accurate to say she froze.

Well. Her reaction was perhaps natural, as Eun So-ryeong was also horrified and stepped back, and she didn’t have much field experience.

“…What the fuck is this.”

“D, Deputy Head-nim…I’m scared….”

“Fight for us!!”

The team members hid behind Eun So-ryeong, and Shin Do-hee subtly moved behind her as well.

“It’s nothing much.”

Seo Hyun moved her steps towards them.

Eun So-ryeong stepped back slightly.

“There’s something going on, so I’d like you to clean it up neatly. You have the Special Affairs Department Head-nim and the police chief, so you can do that much, right?”

“…Do you think we’re like you guys…How can we do that….yo.”

“The maids can take care of the cleanup, and I want you to make sure it doesn’t cause any trouble. Like missing person reports or something.”

“….”

“You can do it, right? Police Chief-nim.”

When she pointedly spoke to Do-hee, she was startled and nodded.

Then, thinking she was too scared, she cleared her throat a couple of times.

“Yeah…well…I’m Ju-in-nim’s (Master-nim’s) maid anyway….”
