“Let’s finish it now.”

    What the fuck……. What is this?

    Am I in the car right now?

    I opened my eyes wide and couldn’t say anything.

    “Let’s break up?”

    When I asked, Yeonlim shook the green tea in her cup and nodded.

    “I’m crazy. I was out of my mind for a moment and dated you. That’s what I think.”

    “Why? Why all of a sudden?”

    I can’t believe it.

    Yeonlim smiled and answered with a sneer.

    “I’m afraid that if I date you any longer, that shitty life will spread to me. Are you okay now?”

    “No. Wait a minute. Yeonlim-ah. Listen to me. What’s going on all of a sudden-”

    “That’s it. Oh really. Seongwon? Woo Seongwon? Should I wake you up to reality?”

    Yeonlim leaned her face close to mine and whispered.

    “Are you rich? Are you handsome? Are you talented? You’re nothing. Stop being a jerk. Okay?”

    …….I’m not even angry.

    I just want to space out.

    Yeah. You can break up after getting sick of a relationship. But is it really necessary to break up while saying such cutting things?

    When I turned pale and opened my mouth, Yeon-rim scratched the back of her head and continued talking.

    “Ugh. Damn, seriously…….. Hey. Woo Sung-won. I didn’t mean to say that. I have a boyfriend.”

    “What, what??”

    As I stood up, banging the table, Yeonlim sat down with her legs crossed and answered leisurely.

    “Yeah. He’s better looking, more talented, and richer than you. Why? Are you upset? Are you feeling like shit?”

    “……”

    “Then you live a good life.”

    ……..As expected, you cheated.

    Somehow Yeonlim hasn’t contacted me lately and her voice on the phone is sullen.

    Is this how my first love ends?

    It’s hopeless. The word hopeless is not enough.

    It was my first love in my life… She was the first woman I loved…

    I didn’t even have the energy to get angry.

    This is a mental breakdown. I’m going crazy.

    As I was holding my two shoulders tightly in my hands from the shock that came belatedly like an aftershock, Yeonlim, who had grabbed her handbag, glared at me with contempt and snapped.

    “You’re a real idiot to the core, seeing as you don’t get mad after hearing that kind of stuff… You’re a loser. A loser. You get it?”

    Yeonlim turned around and looked down at me, leaving behind her last cold words.

    “Idiot.”

    Yeonlim, who had spewed out such harsh words, left the cafe in a huff.

    It took me over an hour to come to my senses again that day at the cafe.

    I was a car. I was a car.

    That too, very miserably……..

    ***

    The next night.

    A grand and enormous mansion.

    The mansion’s yard, covered with beautiful grass, is as big as a playground.

    There were old men in suits kneeling with their hands and feet tied.

    “I didn’t know this would happen. I never thought the young lady would stage a coup-”

    As the mustachioed man, sitting with his hands and feet tied, muttered, another man sitting next to him with his hands and feet tied answered.

    “We got screwed. Ha……. When the chairman passed away, we should have gotten rid of the young lady right away……..”

    “This is the price you pay for making fun of the young lady. The young lady had been preparing a coup d’état even before the chairman passed away.”

    “But you will still save us, right? Haven’t we known each other since you were little?”

    “From now on, you have to bow your head and beg earnestly.”

    Damn it.

    Damn it.

    Damn it.

    Footsteps were heard from afar.

    When the ‘lady’ in the long brown coat appeared.

    Everyone present was astonished.

    The ‘lady’ walked over without even thinking about wiping the blood off her face. The smell of blood vibrated from her body.

    “Are the old people still alive?”

    As the ‘young lady’ asked while smoking a cigarette, the subordinate next to her quickly lit it for her.

    “Yes, Miss. The senior officers were kept alive while waiting for your decision.”

    The ‘lady’, with her hair tied in a ponytail and a cigarette in her mouth, held her hand out to the side.

    Then, the subordinate next to him quickly handed him a pistol.

    “No. Not a pistol. A machete.”

    Then another subordinate ran over and quickly put a large, shiny machete into the girl’s hand.

    The jungle-shaped machete sparkled with light as if it had been sharpened well.

    “Miss! You shouldn’t do this!”

    “Miss! Please save me!”

    “Miss! The late chairman is watching from heaven! Miss!”

    The tied up people all started screaming and begging for their lives.

    The girl took off the coat she was wearing and slowly approached them.

    The girl’s arms were nicely muscled. This was thanks to her thorough self-management.

    “Anyway, those damned idiots are so noisy.”

    She muttered something like that and swung the machete with a full swing.

    -puck!

    -puck!

    -puck!

    A strange sound of your head splitting open.

    It didn’t take a minute for a dozen old men to have their heads smashed in.

    Swift and quick execution.

    “Ah……Miss! Sa, save me-”

    -puck!

    After the execution, she threw down the machete and was handed a towel to wipe the blood splattered on her face.

    Then someone who seemed to be her loyal subordinate approached and opened his mouth.

    “It would have been okay if you didn’t do it yourself. There was no need to get blood on your hands……”

    “No. I feel better about dealing with the toothless elders myself. They are people whose balls must be cut off. None of them should be left alive.”

    “Miss. Take a shower. You have a lot of blood on you today.”

    She spread out her hands wide.

    Yeah, there was a lot of blood.

    She gave the order, throwing the towel she had used to wipe her face to her subordinate.

    “Execute all those who need to be executed today. Kill all the big-headed executives, including their families. Bury their bodies in a place where they can’t be seen.”

    “Yes, I understand, Miss.”

    She opened the door to the mansion, came in, sat down on the sofa, and stared blankly for a while.

    Now a new life is about to begin.

    I’ve completely carried out the rebellion. Now I’m the boss of this organization.

    After staring blankly for a while, she took out a photo from her pants pocket.

    A small photo that I always carried with me since I was little.

    A photo of her when she was very young, smiling brightly with a boy of her age. It was probably taken when she was about nine years old.

    As she looked at the photo, she smiled without realizing it.

    ***

    “The mafia has increased dramatically in our country over the past few decades. What do you think about the current situation?”

    “Now we can’t ignore the mafia……..”

    On television, announcers and panelists who look like old farts are having a discussion with serious faces.

    Mafia……. Is the mafia important right now?

    I threw my pillow at the television.

    My life is a cesspool.

    Why is the world treating me like this? What did I do wrong?

    I put a can of tuna in front of me and drank the soju.

    ……..Yeah. Yeonlim is right. What am I good at? I wish I had a lot of money……. I wish I had good skills…….

    I looked back on my miserable life with the back of my hand holding the soju on my lips.

    An orphan who doesn’t even know his parents…

    As soon as I became an adult, I was kicked out of the orphanage and starved…

    I finally got a job at a decent company and thought my life was over.

    All the money I had saved was blown away by voice phishing… I was fooled by something like that…

    I met a woman for the first time when I was 23, and I got dumped so badly…

    As I was drinking a glass of soju alone and reflecting on this miserable life, tears came to my eyes.

    Do I have to continue living this shitty life?

    I slammed my fist on the floor.

    Fuck… If I think about it, I’ve really hit rock bottom.

    Could something shit like this happen here again?

    No. Now all the shit has happened.

    Now all that’s left to do is to move up.

    When I thought about it that way, I didn’t feel that weak.

    If something bad happens here again, it will be the world trying to get me wrong.

    There’s nothing worse that can happen here.

    There’s nothing worse than being struck by lightning and dying right now.

    Now that you’ve hit rock bottom, you need to get up.

    Thinking about it that way gave me some encouragement.

    okay.

    Now the fucking work is over.

    ***

    “…….I’ll give you a vacation, so think about it slowly. Seongwon-ssi. Seongwon-ssi is someone who can do other things well, right? ”

    …….Fuck.

    What is this?

    The next morning.

    As soon as I got to work, I was called to the personnel department, and out of nowhere, the head of the personnel department was saying something strange.

    Are you recommending that I resign now? Am I going to get fired?

    “No. Personnel Manager!! I did a good job, didn’t I? My work attitude was good too. Why are you suddenly like this?”

    Naturally, my voice had no choice but to raise.

    How did you get a decent job… I can overlook the differences with Yeonlim, but I can’t overlook this.

    The HR manager coughed, lifted his glasses, and answered awkwardly.

    “You know that the economy is not doing well these days, right? Well… I guess the word from above is that the department you work in needs to be restructured.”

    Fuck……… Fuck…….

    I couldn’t lift my head.

    I was wondering if something shitty could happen again… and then something shitty happened again.

    “Since Mr. Seongwon worked for our company for a while, we will take good care of your unemployment benefits. I think you only have to come to work until next week.”

    “…….”

    I understood the situation in my head, but my heart did not.

    I turned around and quietly left the HR department.

    I almost fell down several times because my legs gave out in the middle.

    Did Yeonlim know something like this would happen and call me that?……….

    I’m so shocked…

    Why is my life like this?

    I certainly didn’t know at the time.

    The fact that my life is going to change spectacularly from now on……..
