Ji Sang-min, a man exhaling cigarette smoke with a long sigh, stared blankly at the face of a woman who was unconscious and tied to a chair.

Sangmin knows this woman well, whose black hair suits her slim face.

Dayoung Jeong. He was a student whom he taught as a tutor for 10 years, and is now one of Sangmin’s enemies who ruined everything.

Sangmin, who was looking at Dayoung with complicated feelings, picked up the half of the remaining soju in the bottle and drank it down.

He threw the cigarette butt on the floor, rubbed it with his foot, put a new cigarette in his mouth, and lit it again.

“Stop standing up, you damn kid. Part of me wants to kill him right now, but shouldn’t he still teach a disciple who lacks a teacher?”

He grabbed Dayoung’s long hair with his rough hands and shook her head, but when she didn’t wake up and talked to him, he started tapping her cheek with his palm.

“It hurts… stop…”

When he blew out cigarette smoke toward Dayoung, who was muttering with a dazed face, probably because the drug still had some residual energy, she made a coughing noise and frowned.

“Cough… Ugh… Smell of cigarettes… You…?”

When Da-young opened her eyes, the face that came in was so tired that her skin was dull and her eyes were bulging, so she doubted whether it was someone she knew, but it was clearly Sang-min, her tutor.

“Ugh… Did they really kidnap you? They filed a lawsuit for all the money they didn’t have and gave it to them as alimony when they divorced, but now they’re even kidnapping someone who used to be their student? I feel sorry for my father who passed away while trusting and asking for a person like this as his teacher. You have to joke around in moderation. Do you think you can get through this safely?”

Sang-min, who was looking at Da-young, who was still proudly provoking her despite being restrained to a chair, picked up a new bottle of soju, opened the lid, and took a sip.

“Hehehe… Dayoung, who pushed me, an innocent person, into hell for false accusation and ruined all of my assets, my beloved wife and daughter, and my social reputation. If I had expected a kind word of apology to come out of your mouth, I wouldn’t have gone to the trouble of kidnapping you. Probably not.”

Sangmin took another sip of soju, opened Dayoung’s mouth, and started forcing the soju into her. Dayoung tried not to drink at first, but when she closed her mouth, he held her nose and prevented her from breathing, so she eventually opened her mouth and took in about half a bottle of soju.

“You drink well, Dayoung. After all, you have to learn how to drink from an adult, right?”

“Keek… Gagging… I feel like my stomach is burning… If you don’t want to go to jail, no, if you don’t want to die by my hands, release me quickly… Otherwise, my sister and mother won’t leave me alone. Yes…”

Dayoung had been drinking a small amount of wine at most, but this was her first time drinking half a bottle of soju or straight. She was coughing and trying to soothe her burning stomach, but seeing her drooling and struggling against Sangmin was just comical.

“Sister? mother? Look at you now. Who can help you? And you can see this camera here. Why is this here? Take a guess. Dayoung, you are smart, so you will figure it out soon.”

Only then did Dayoung look around. Empty alcohol bottles rolling around here and there, ashtrays full of cigarette butts, and trash rolling around haphazardly.

The inside of the shabby, dusty building, which felt like it was about to collapse at any moment, was empty and empty of any household items except for an old refrigerator.

And there are three cameras surrounding Dayoung. No matter how ignorant a young woman was, what she could think of in a situation where a kidnapper pointed a camera at a young woman was obvious.

“Do you think this will scare me? You are the one making a mistake now. If you ask for forgiveness even now, I will forgive you, so please let me out of this first!! Otherwise, I will scream!!!”

Da-young, who was always feeling discouraged due to the alcohol, but also seemed to be gaining courage, shouted at Sang-min with a lot of energy, thinking that he was a threat in his own way.

“Scream as much as you want. No one is coming. This place is solely for my revenge… No, it’s a place I saved all my money for the last time to get a true education. You can look forward to it.”

“Who would be scared by something like that? I no longer believe your still clumsy words. Help me!!!!!! Save people!!!!!! He’s a kidnapper!!!!! It’s fire!!!!!”

After that, for about 10 minutes, Dayoung repeatedly screamed, almost screaming, and then gasped as if she had resigned herself to it.

Sang-min, who had been smoking a cigarette the whole time, covered the lips of Da-young, who was panting, and pushed in the smoke.

“Knockknockkk of of of of of of of

Da-young, who had been forcibly pushing cigarette smoke into her lungs, not just second-hand smoke, continued to cough and glared at Sang-min, with tears and snot running down her face. When I think about it, when I was a tutor, I had never seen anyone smoking or even smelled a cigarette, but now that I was chain-smoking, it felt even more unfamiliar.

Did it end up like that after the relationship was cut off due to false accusations of sexual assault?

Dayoung, who recalled the times when they were extremely close and the times when they were extremely painful, suppressed her inner feelings that she could not reveal yet and criticized Sangmin.

“Quit smoking right now. Don’t you know how bad secondhand smoke is?”

“Of course I know it well. That’s why I quit smoking when I took on the job as a tutor. I thought I would never smoke again, but thanks to you, I am smoking again. Then I guess I should reward you for letting me taste this good thing again.”

Sangmin approached Dayoung, who was struggling while tied to a chair, lifted her left foot, and looked at her black stockings that were slightly stained with dust.

Dayoung, who looked at him with anxiety as he silently puffed on a cigarette and watched his feet, continued to say something full of bravado.

“Get down on your knees and apologize right away. Since you don’t have the guts or the intention to kidnap and rape her, aren’t you just touching her feet like a pervert? For everything you’ve done to me so far, this time you’re in real prison. This is different from molesting a student who is 13 years older than you. Hey Ji Sang-min, I’m no longer the 10-year-old kid you used to teach. So stop doing this stupid shit right now!!!”

As if he didn’t even hear Dayoung’s screams, Sangmin still silently took a deep breath of his cigarette and mercilessly pushed the butt into the soles of Dayoung’s feet.

With the sound of thin stockings melting, the heat remaining from the cigarette butt immediately hit the soles of my feet.

Dayoung screamed and cried in pain that she had never thought of or experienced in her life.

“Ahhhh!!! You crazy bastard!!!! How can a person do this!!!! Ahhh… it’s hot!!!!”

Hearing Dayoung’s screams, Sangmin put down Dayoung’s struggling feet and took out a cigarette again and asked. When she took out a Zippo lighter and lit it, the flickering flame reminded her of the pain from before, so Dayoung kept her mouth shut.

Sang-min, who held the lighter in front of Da-young’s nose as if threatening her and made her feel the heat, lit it, savored the smoke deep into her lungs, and blew it out on her face before slowly opening his mouth.

“Try again. Every time you are told to put out a cigarette, I will engrave a cigarette in your mouth. And I’ve already given up on being human. If I had thought about the future, I wouldn’t have done something like this.”

Sang-min picked up the bottle of soju again and took a sip, then grabbed Da-young’s foot, which had just been burned with a cigarette butt.

Sang-min poured half of the soju on Da-young’s feet, who were flinching because they didn’t know what would happen to them, and then put the bottle of soju at Da-young’s mouth again.

“Do you want to drink it, or should I force you to drink it again? Unless you’re an idiot, you probably know this, but there are only two options for you from now on. Either follow me or confront me and get in trouble.”

Although she didn’t want to drink alcohol, Dayoung opened her mouth and drank the remaining half bottle of soju not only from his actions but also from the madness in Sangmin’s devastated eyes.

Although she was very thirsty, soju did not help her at all, and Dayoung felt like she was going to faint from the burning esophagus and the increasingly hot intoxication.

Thinking that something might happen if he resisted by provoking Sangmin anymore, he chain-smoked and pleaded with Sangmin, who was glaring at him.

“Sangmin… What on earth do you want… I can’t believe you wanted to kidnap me like this, torture me, make me drink you… I’ll give you as much money as I can… So please stop…”

A man who suffers from severe insomnia, alcoholism, and bipolar disorder. In Ji Sang-min’s memory, a girl running towards him saying “Teacher” and “Oppa” passed by.

However, the memories only feel vague and the girl from those days is no longer there.

Sang-min’s morals, social skills, and brakes on withdrawal as a human being began to break down as he went through a series of events that started with false accusations.

“What I want is true education in the name of revenge. It’s just the beginning.”

His suppressed instincts awakened.
