It falls.

​Falling helplessly into the dark and deep sea.

‘… … … ‘Is this a dream?’

■■ slowly sinks, drawn by the darkness that surrounds it.

The depth of the sea is as distant as a mother’s embrace.

Because I’m lonely like an empty universe.

That was so sad.

Falling down without end.

(You… are always the same.)

(It’s always the same. Because of you…)

​

(In the future, when ■■ grows up healthy and becomes an adult… become a great hunter that everyone looks up to.)

Whose dream is this?

I don’t know.

In the past… I can’t remember anymore… when I was young.

Memories of that time. Or memories.

Or, a clumsy imagination put together for someone else.

(My ways were wrong,)

(There was no salvation.)

In the dark sea where everything falls, someone speaks to me.

Wearing a jet black suit, black tie, and a black hat on his head.

A person where everything is pitch black.

​

​

(Everyone left.)

(The cross that lost its light was turned upside down.)

In a blunt but sorrowful voice.

In a calm voice that accepted one’s own despair.

In a voice that was very similar to someone in my memory.

it says

(But… even though it was turned upside down, it was still a cross.)

(Because it is still facing forward.)

A human whose everything is pitch black.

‘That’ hand touches ■■’s cheek.

‘That’ was wearing black leather gloves, so they couldn’t feel each other’s body heat.

Only an echoing emptiness remains in the cold leather gloves.

Nevertheless, I feel an unexpected warmth from the gentle touch of the leather glove stroking my cheek.

In the dark and lonely sea,

It’s the only warmth.

(……You are like the North Star.)

(In this world filled with darkness, forever and ever…)

(Always there, serving as a guide to those who are lost…)

(It’s our only star.)

“……The North Star also changes periodically.”

(Close your eyes.)

“yes.”

It falls.

Into the dark, dark sea.

To a place where it sinks and settles.

With the person who was caressing his cheek and everything was pitch black.

■■ will fall forever.

( do not forget. )

(Even if you forget everything… we are always by your side. Don’t forget.)

And, there is always darkness.

there was nothing.

​… … .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mulberry bread~ Mulberry bread~

“……Ugh…what is it?”

The sound of a cell phone ringing draining energy.

Eunha woke up frowning in displeasure.

I’m tired.

Like I fell asleep at 3 a.m. and woke up to a phone call at 4 a.m.

I feel immeasurable frustration and helplessness.

Mulberry bread~ Mulberry bread~.

Is this what it feels like to wake up in a coffin?

Eunha yawned, rubbing her eyes and fumbling around to find her cell phone.

However, his limbs could not move as if they were wrapped in a net.

As if she was even locked in a secret room, the musty, stale air hits her uvula and she runs away.

‘Where am I?… Ah, that’s right. It was a bathroom.’

I remembered.

[Blue Dragon Energy] Just before being attacked by people wearing uniforms and being caught by strange tentacles,

His life was saved thanks to the intrusion of our friendly neighbor [Red Woman].

After that, I went into the kidnapping bag, closed my eyes, and waited until the [Red Woman] disappeared…

‘I guess I dozed off for a moment… I had a strange dream… I don’t know. ‘I don’t care.’

Mulberry bread~ Mulberry bread~.

A bell rings outside the bag.

Whose call is this? If you keep calling without hanging up, it must be quite an urgent call.

Eunha tossed and turned to get out of the bag.

However, moving the arms in an ambiguously cramped bag required a lot of effort, and the large chest was in the way, making it even more difficult to move.

Although the bag is large enough to fit a person, I realize once again that bags should only be used to store things.

I’m so frustrated that I feel like I’m dying.

Is there anyone out there?

Ji profit…

At that time, someone opened the zipper.

A dazzling light comes in through the slightly open zipper, and refreshing air mixed with the smell of iron greets Eunha.

“Whoa…! He survived.”

Mulberry bread~ Mulberry bread~

The moment Eunha, enjoying the cool oxygen, was about to open the zipper, her smartphone came into the bag.

A cell phone thrust in front of your eyes.

Holding it… a delicate woman’s hand.

Blood dripping down Eunha’s cheek.

“Wow, thank you.”

I don’t know who it is, but he lived.

Eunha, who was still half asleep, picked up her cell phone and pressed the call button.

Beep–.

“hello.”

ㅡ Eunha. That’s me.

Eunha opened the zipper, got out of the bag, and grabbed the phone.

An emotionless voice comes from the other end of the phone… It’s Ban Harin, a regular customer.

I glanced at the time and saw that about 30 minutes had passed since [Red Woman] was sung.

I can see the sunset fading through the veranda window.

“Yes, Mr. Banharin. What did you call about?”

ㅡ … … Is everything okay?

“I’m always the same.”

After escaping from the bag, Eunha looks around the messed up living room and touches her forehead.

Those kidnappers… they turned someone else’s house into a garbage dump to look for traces of the team leader or something.

Because Eunha was tied to tentacles and forced to sing, the box tee she wore was covered in blood…

… … I don’t even want to look at the entrance and bedroom where [Red Woman] worked.

Cleaning up there all night won’t be enough.

“Is everything okay, Mr. Ban Harin? You said you went to the park earlier to say something happened at work.”

– It was a trivial matter. However, because everyone on our team was called in, it almost caused a disruption to our work.

“Ah… What kind of rare animal protection team did you say?”

ㅡ It’s roughly similar. It’s a job of watching from afar 24 hours a day.

“It’s a lot of hardship.”

ㅡ I do it because I enjoy it.

Ban Harin complained that the sudden call from the association had left a short hiatus in work.

Eunha calmly listened to Ban Harin’s complaints, who were very talkative today, and headed to the kitchen.

It takes too long to clean the whole house, so I plan to eat first.

Dalkak-.

I held my phone against my shoulder and opened the refrigerator.

Recently, I ordered side dishes through home shopping, so I have a lot to eat. However, if you ask me to choose what I want to eat right now, I will still hesitate.

“……Shall we go with fried rice?”

ㅡIs it dinner? The time is just right… It’s been a while, can I have a meal at Eunha’s house?

“No. Don’t come.”

ㅡ … Okay

Pirorong.

I hung up.

After throwing her smartphone onto the soft living room sofa, Eunha took out carrots, onions, and ham from the refrigerator and settled down in the kitchen.

The smell of blood wafts from the bedroom.

It’s bearable.

Excited. Excited.

I swallow my saliva while listening to my own heartbeat.

“Whoa… I guess I can eat it this time.”

After putting the vegetables down on the cutting board, Eunha picked up the ham with trembling hands.

Raw ham I bought to eat in fried rice or soup.

But why? There are teeth marks on the ham. Quite a lot.

“…….”

Eunha quietly looked down at the raw ham with teeth marks…

I carefully opened my mouth and took a bite.

Mutter…

It has a subtle texture that makes it hard to eat raw.

Eunha frowned and chewed the ham as if she were chewing a bug.

The texture of ham falling apart under your teeth.

The juice that leaks out runs down the gums.

meat. Meat that is not fresh, but still retains its firmness.

Delicious meat.

(This is the ‘chicken salad’ you ordered, sir.)

(Goodbye, Mr. Lovely Chicken.)

“Uweek–!”

I put my face in the sink and vomit.

My throat was torn by the spiny tentacles earlier, and the blood that had accumulated in my stomach flowed back together with the gastric juice.

After gagging several times and rinsing her mouth for a while, Eunha put the ham in the refrigerator with an even more exhausted look than before.

Failed again.

After eating chicken salad at [Euncheon Restaurant], I can’t eat meat anymore.

When will it get better?​

“Ha… Okay, soy sauce egg rice rather than fried rice.”

I thought positively.

There are many delicious things.

Wiingㅡ.

Place a frying pan on the induction stove and add oil.

When the temperature rises appropriately, take one egg out of the refrigerator…

… … No, there are two.

“Why did I take out two eggs?”

『I want to eat and leave.』

“…Okay, well… I’m hungry, so let’s eat a lot.”

Eunha put two eggs in a frying pan and then placed warm rice in a rice bowl.

2 bowls.

Serves 2.

“Hmm hmmm~ hmmm hmmm hmmm~.”

I hummed and cooked eggs.

The savory taste of eggs mixed with the smell of blood was truly disgusting and stinging to the nose.

Purung…

As I was stirring the salt-sprinkled eggs with a flipper, my heart suddenly felt lighter.

As if someone was lifting a heavy chest from behind.

What is it?

I don’t know.

“It would take a year to clean up all that… Why do I have to clean up other people’s bodies?”

The eggs cooked quickly. After putting a soft-boiled egg on top of rice, I poured soy sauce to suit my taste and went out to the living room.

2 bowls. 2 spoons.

Eunha put the finished soy sauce egg rice on the table and turned on the TV.

Even today, a news program called [Hunter 24 Hours] calmly tells stories of gossip that are more interesting than dramas.

“thank you for this food.”

Let’s do the cleaning after eating.

Eunha munched on warm soy sauce egg rice while watching TV.

1 bowl. One spoon.

Soy sauce egg rice, 1 serving.

‘… … Where did the bowl go?… Isn’t it? Was it originally one?’

Have dinner.

Peacefully.

Ignoring the human limbs scattered in the hallway and bedroom,

Eunha filled her stomach.

There’s a lot to do.

The body must be placed in a black bag and placed in the freezer, blood stains must be wiped all over the house, and bed sheets and blankets must be washed.

Then, you should visit the elderly security guard and ask him what to do with the body.

I have a feeling that I won’t be able to sleep at all.

Eunha munched on her soy sauce egg rice and absentmindedly scratched the back of her neck.

Soy sauce egg rice. 1 serving.

It was the end of a peaceful day.
