Chapter 43 – Chapter 43
The eyes we met are pushing me down.
I didn’t feel like I was weighed down with fear like before.
It was different from that, if I had to add an explanation, it was the high-handed gaze of a superior looking down at someone lower than me.
Exhausted, deeply sunken eyes were staring at me.
As Do-gyun stared blankly into those eyes, her mouth opened once more.
“You.”
Flinch.
My body trembled at the low voice.
Do-kyun replied by passing dry saliva to the back of his neck as the tension gradually rose.
“…Yeah…”
“I asked what you were looking at.”
The look in his eyes and the way he spoke pressed me.
The still beating heart and the fear that hadn’t been washed away overlapped over it, casting a downward gaze.
His gaze fell all the way down to her waist.
Right after that, a clicking sound came from above my head.
“Tsk, you ugly bastard.”
The murmurs that I heard swelled up in my heart a little, but I didn’t have enough strength left to vomit him out.
The accident had already been torn to pieces and had lost the will to resist.
However, I couldn’t understand this situation, I couldn’t understand the girl in front of me, and I felt like my head was spinning.
The trembling that had consumed her body remained and she shook her fingertips. The scent of blood that filled the room stuck to my nose and bothered me.
In the midst of silence, she let out a sigh and started moving.
A small key protrudes from the belt where Do-gyun’s gaze reached, and she, holding the key in her hand, began to loosen the restraints that were restraining Do-gyun’s body with slow movements.
Clap-!
A faint sense of liberation swept through my body.
When Do-gyun looked up and saw her, she slipped a few drops of Do-gyun, then got up and left the room as if she had no interest in him.
Kik-.
The hinges moved and creaked, followed by a brief silence.
Immediately after, Do-gyun, who was left alone in the room, finally realized that I was left alone and stretched out his body.
“Huh…”
A moan that was close to sobbing came out. My heart didn’t calm down. My hands were still shaking and my eyes were burning.
‘What…’
So many things went by in an instant. He covered his eyes with his trembling hands to calm himself down.
Took care of my heart I had to figure out the situation.
I had to look at each one from the beginning and come to a conclusion about this situation.
I looked back on the past day by resolving the wrecked accident and waking up the reason that had been crouching.
‘For now…’
Library.
She noticed I was in there. He probably noticed it while out and came back in a hurry.
After that, she came home and found me looking at the diary, hit me in the back of the head, knocked me out, and tied me up here again.
‘To the next…’
The eyes I met after I came to my senses.
Creepy-.
Goosebumps came up again. It was a look that took my breath away just thinking about it.
The expression on his face as he choked his neck. The wrist that opened its mouth and dripped red saliva. A short laugh echoed in my ears.
I closed my eyes tightly, but the feeling seemed to be clearer, so I took a long breath and controlled my stomach.
‘Mental…’
I had to clear my mind. It was not the time to be trembling.
I erased the chilling moment, and on top of that, I reflected on what happened right after.
The mood changed right after she slit her wrist again.
– Fuck.
The look in my eyes reminded me of the look in my eyes until right before I cursed at the completely changed atmosphere.
An impoverished expression that was filled with irritation and boredom.
‘Others…’
The expression that I thought was a completely different person was engraved in my head, and the accident that continued all the way raised a possibility.
‘Multiple personalities.’
In the correct words.
‘Dissociative Identity Disorder.’
A disease in which multiple personalities enter one body by dividing one’s own personality.
“Her…”
Suddenly, a laugh broke out.
It was only then that the identity of the sense of alienation that had been swirling around me was explained.
-Ah, oops…!
The reason why he acted like a fool even after preparing the confinement so meticulously. Even the strange eyes that I see once in a while.
– The money seems filthy.
The reason why even though I have so many clothes in my closet, I don’t have many clothes to wear.
[Die.]
The words in the other handwriting on the last page of the diary.
Everything made sense
The pieces, which I never thought would fit, fit perfectly on one possibility and revealed my true self.
‘That means…’
The woman who just went out.
‘…Sister.’
It was the same person in the first place. There was no such thing as her sister to her.
And I dare to predict, that ‘sister’ personality would have intervened in the process of decorating this space where I was imprisoned or in the process of finding and kidnapping me.
‘Then.’
That he would not be an ally.
That was all I could think of right now.
I’ve been thinking about it all along, but not all questions have been resolved yet.
‘Those eyes?’
The creepy eyes he saw. What the hell was that
‘No, before that.’
Why did she, Eun-ah, refer to that ‘sister’ as if it were a separate person?
When she first learned of her older sister’s existence, she remembered what she had said to her then.
-Then, next time we come, we can say hello together.
Obviously, the answer to that statement was yes. The answer to the word “Together” Was yes.
What you can think of.
‘The woman thinks of her ‘sister’ as a separate person.’
The mental illness she suffers from may not be the end of her multiple personalities.
‘…Or else.’
That the ‘sister’ side might be real.
‘Fuck…’
My head got more complicated. I solved one puzzle, but what was presented to me was not a sweet reward, but a new, more complex puzzle.
With the current clues, a new puzzle could not be solved. There was too little that could be inferred.
Do-gyun raised his head, which he had been covering all the time, and looked at the door.
I had to go out of the room to find out.
When I finished my thoughts and got up, my body staggered as I was distracted by the momentary headache.
“Ugh…!”
A pain arose in the back of the head.
It felt like it had been hit quite hard, something that throbbed to the point of ringing the bone.
It wasn’t easy to stand upright. Tremors remained in his fingertips, and he felt his legs tremble little by little.
He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, trying to straighten him out, but it was not easy.
Do-gyun knew why he was swallowing up so much fear.
‘Outside the door…’
I had a ‘sister’. He will most likely not be your ally.
“Whoa…”
He took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
It will not be an opponent who cannot communicate. It was a fairly high-pressure and dark atmosphere, but at least conversation was possible.
I remembered her attitude toward me.
‘Probably indifferent.’
An attitude that doesn’t seem to mean much to you. If you do it well, if you do it really well, you will be able to attract it as your ally.
Through that ‘sister’, you will be able to fill the blanks that remain unknown.
Do-gyun, who had captured his heart, pinched his thighs and went out the door, holding his spirits together.
Unlike the dark room, the living room was brightly lit, and in the middle of it, I could see my ‘sister’ sitting on the sofa and reading a book.
Stop-.
Upon discovering her sister, Do-gyun’s steps stopped.
It was not braked by fear.
It was her outfit that stopped Do-gyun in his tracks.
‘Others?’
It was a completely different outfit.
The back of the hair neatly tied up, stylish black-rimmed glasses, and black slacks in a knit that go all the way up to the neck.
In Do-gyun’s eyes, she was wearing a neat outfit close to a suit, not the white one-piece dress she had seen so far.
Her features and body shape were the same.
Her but, the expression on her face and the dress made her look like a complete stranger.
As Do-gyun stared blankly at him, her gaze, which had landed on her book, turned to Do-gyun.
Afterwards, Do-gyun, who had been trembling for a moment meeting her eyes with boredom, clenched her fists and tried to speak out, but her mouth opened first.
“20061024”
8 digit number.
When Do-gyun was dumbfounded by her words, which were delivered without context, she, who was looking at him, continued her words again.
“It’s the front door password.”
“Ah.”
Embarrassment rose.
‘Suddenly?’
As I stared at her, her eyes wide open, filled with embarrassment, she let out a sigh and spoke to her again.
“Get out.”
It felt like all the hypotheses I had just built up were blank.
I thought he wouldn’t be an ally. It was natural. No matter how much I thought about it, ‘Go Eun-ah’ was not meticulous enough to confine me.
As a woman with the feeling that a screw is missing, there were gaps in everything she did.
That’s why she thought herself that that woman had locked me up here.
‘By the way…’
Sending me out so suddenly?
The lips were swollen. She was supposed to say something, but the words didn’t come out.
Let’s stop for a moment like that. Her expression frowned, and she opened her mouth once more.
“Are you not leaving?”
Words that motivate me. Do-kyun was taken aback by the words and spat out his doubts.
“…Why are you letting go?”
She didn’t know who she was, but she knew from the way she looked that she had to be polite.
As Do-gyun said that and looked at her, she frowned slightly and answered Do-kyun’s question.
“Is that important?”
“Yeah?”
“Shouldn’t you go out?”
After saying that, she looked at me for a while, and when I didn’t get her response back, she continued her words again, deepening the impression of her on her face.
“Are you going to stay here forever?”
The feeling of being hit on the head.
The moment he heard that, Do-gyun forgot all the words he had prepared.
I felt the reality that I had been ignoring so far rush into my empty mind.
Her words echoed in my ears.
“You must have a family.”
I have a family, mom and dad. There is also one cat. I don’t contact them often, but there was a family that would be more anxious than anyone else if I disappeared.
“I might have a job.”
There is. There was a job I was tenaciously attached to, where I might have been fired for over two weeks of absenteeism.
“There will be a life.”
There is a sleeping room. He also had his own life there. I have hobbies and friends to meet. There were convenience stores I used to go to often, parks I went for a walk on the weekend, and neighbors who greeted me every time I ran into them.
“Should I go out?”
Mouth closed shut. His head gazed in the direction of the entrance.
If you just go through that door, you can get out of here.
I could see the end of this cramped confinement life.
Looking at her again, I saw her smiling face with the corner of her mouth raised on one side of her.
“You don’t have to worry about being kidnapped again. Because she can’t do anything by herself.”
A wedge-piercing word was heard.
‘I can go out.’
The thought made her heart tighten. There was an overwhelming feeling.
After that, the moment I took a step towards the front door.
It reminded me of the little figure that clung to me tenaciously.
It reminded me of the clownish face that had stuck to me all day and didn’t even think about leaving.
I shouldn’t have thought of it, but it’s over once I get out of this door.
That smile comes to mind and haunts me.
My footsteps did not fall.
I stupidly recalled that smile after seeing such a terrible situation until just before.
Do-gyun paused for a moment and kept his gaze on the floor, opening his mouth and spitting out his words.
“If I leave…”
“Well?”
“How is Eun-ah?”
Food.
A small laugh was heard, followed by her words.
“Is it important?”
After a moment of silence, she spoke again.
“Seeing that he insisted on saying ‘Mr.
The deep tone of his voice continued with doubt.
“I don’t know why.”
I feel the same way. Because she doesn’t even know why she’s asking this question.
“If you know, can you afford it?”
The words she heard hit her heart again.
“Calm down. She’s a girl I’ve only known for 2 weeks. Isn’t she a stranger?”
Others.
The word seemed to dig deep inside. I don’t know why. It just felt like that.
‘Sister’ continued to argue.
“If you just cross the front door, it should be over, so why bother asking that?”
Immediately after, she spoke in a tone full of laughter.
“Yes, do you call me a goldsmith? Once you see it, things that you embrace from love. Is it that way?”
Flinch.
My body trembled.
Love love, I don’t know if it’s right to see this as love heart. She said, to be honest, the only thing she and her had done was mix her body.
If you think about it rationally, you have to hit it well, it was a rice cake.
Even so, the smile that was facing me came to mind. As if I was everything in the world, as if the world would end if I disappeared, I remembered the body temperature that I had been pathetically holding onto.
“Calm down. It could be your wrist next.”
Then, the creepy pupils that popped up and the straightened wrists aroused fear again.
“If you leave, it’s over. Now goodbye to this crazy bitch forever.”
That’s right. That’s very true…
‘It sucks.’
Fuck you. Exactly, that expression was correct.
I raised my head and turned around. I saw a face that looked like it was smiling and laughing.
The reason for the shit is that she seems to be mocking herself, so she’s angry, so that’s probably it.
She moved her steps towards the front door and came closer to her.
“Aren’t you going?”
“I will take care of it.”
She took a moment to catch her breath, then spoke again.
“If I keep going like this, I won’t be able to stretch out and sleep, so I need to know.”
Yeah, I hope that’s the reason.
As an unfair victim, I need to know the progress of the case.
I need to know what the perpetrator will be like.
Not because of the smile that haunts me, or the body temperature that seems to be about to fade, or the sound of fussing laughter, but as a victim.
“Please tell me.”
Knowing a little would put my mind at ease.
