Her gaze that met mine bore down on me.
It wasn’t a sense of being overwhelmed by concern like earlier than.
It was a unique, authoritarian gaze from a superior wanting down on me.
Drained, deeply sunken eyes have been gazing me.
As Dokyun blankly stared at these eyes, as soon as once more her mouth opened.
“You.”
I shiver.
His physique trembled involuntarily on the low voice.
Dokyun answered slowly, swallowing dry saliva down his throat as stress slowly constructed up.
“Sure”
“I requested what you have been taking a look at.”
The gaze, the tone, pressed down on him.
The nonetheless trembling coronary heart and the concern that had not but washed away utterly made his gaze drop down.
His gaze fell all the way in which to her waist.
Instantly after, a sound of a tongue clicking above his head was heard.
“Tsk, ugly bastard.”
A slight surge of emotion got here with the muttering, however he did not have the power to expel it.
His thoughts was in a state of confusion, unable to grasp the scenario in entrance of him, unable to grasp her.
The trembling that had taken over his physique remained, shaking his fingertips. The scent of blood filling the room caught stubbornly to his nostrils, tormenting him.
As silence continued, she exhaled a sigh and started to maneuver.
From Dokyun’s gaze, a small key caught from her waist belt, and she or he slowly started to launch the restraints that sure Dokyun’s physique.
Click on!
A faint sense of liberation swept over his physique.
When Dokyun raised his head to take a look at her, she glanced at him briefly, then acquired up as if she had no real interest in him and left the room.
Creak
The sound of the bolt shifting and creaking echoed, adopted by a quick silence.
Afterwards, alone within the room, Dokyun lastly realized that he was alone, relaxed his physique, and stretched out.
“Ugh”
A moan that was near a sob got here out. His coronary heart had not calmed down. His palms have been nonetheless trembling, and his eyes have been scorching.
‘What’
An excessive amount of had occurred within the blink of a watch. He coated his eyes along with his trembling palms to calm himself.
He managed his feelings. He wanted to grasp the scenario.
Ranging from the start, he rigorously examined every element to come back to a conclusion in regards to the scenario.
He woke up his thoughts that had been overwhelmed by the chaotic accident and reviewed the occasions of the previous day.
‘For now’
The classroom.
I entered that place, and she or he observed it. She most likely sensed it whereas she was out and hurried again.
Later, when she entered the home, she will need to have observed me wanting on the diary, hit me on the again of the pinnacle, knocked me out, after which tied me up right here.
‘Subsequent’
The eyes I confronted after regaining consciousness.
Chilling.
As soon as once more, shivers ran down my backbone. It was a gaze that suffocated me simply by interested by it, even with my eyes tightly closed.
The expression on the face pushing in opposition to my neck. Mouth large open, drooling saliva dripping from the grip of her wrist. The quick laughter lingering in my ears.
I closed my eyes tightly, however the sensation appeared to sharpen, so I took a protracted breath, attempting to calm myself.
‘Get a grip’
I needed to pull myself collectively. It wasn’t the time to be trembling.
I erased the chilling second and recalled what occurred instantly after.
The change in ambiance proper after she lower my wrist once more.
Rattling it.
The gaze I had seen simply earlier than, cursing and crammed with frustration, resurfaced in my thoughts.
The worn-out expression tainted with annoyance and weariness.
‘One other particular person’
The expression that appeared utterly completely different was engraved in my thoughts, and the continual practice of thought raised a chance.
‘A number of personalities.’
The precise time period.
‘Dissociative Id Dysfunction.’
A situation the place a number of personalities inhabit one physique.
“Ha”
All of the sudden, a hole chortle escaped.
Solely then did the reason of the sense of alienation that had been circling round me develop into clear.
Oh, I see!
The explanation for getting ready the confinement so meticulously and but performing so carelessly. The unusual gaze that appeared now and again.
She should be filthy wealthy.
The explanation for having so many garments within the closet however hardly carrying any.
[Die.]
The phrases in a unique handwriting on the final web page of the diary.
Every little thing made sense.
Items that I by no means thought would match collectively completely aligned on one chance, revealing my true self.
‘Meaning’
The lady who simply left exterior.
‘is her sister.’
Initially, it was the identical particular person. There was no sisterly bond along with her.
And I dare to imagine that the character of ‘sister’ was concerned in adorning this area the place I used to be imprisoned or within the technique of discovering and kidnapping me.
‘If that is the case.’Observe present novels at novelhall.com)
“Do not you wish to depart?”
After saying that and taking a look at him for a second and not using a response, she deepened the frown on her face and spoke once more.
“Are you going to remain right here ceaselessly?”
It felt like a blow to the pinnacle.
The second he heard these phrases, Dokyun forgot all of the phrases he had ready.
In his empty thoughts, the realities he had been avoiding all got here speeding in directly.
Her phrases continued in his ears.
“You most likely have a household.”
A household, with a mother and pa. And a cat. Regardless that they did not talk usually, if he have been to vanish, there can be a household who would fear greater than anybody.
“You most likely have a job too.”
He did. He had a job that he had persistently clung to, presumably being lower off for over two weeks resulting from unauthorized absence.
“You most likely have a life too.”
He had a studio condominium. His life was there. He had hobbies, pals to fulfill, a comfort retailer he frequented, a park he went for walks on weekends, and neighbors he greeted after they crossed paths.
“I ought to exit, proper?”
His mouth shut involuntarily. He turned his head within the route of the entrance door.
As soon as he crossed that door, he might depart this place.
He might see the top of this suffocating confinement.
As he checked out her once more, a smiling face with one nook of his mouth raised appeared.
“No want to fret about being kidnapped once more. That lady cannot do something on her personal.”
A piercing comment was heard.
‘I can depart.’
As that thought got here to him, his chest tightened. There was a suffocating emotion welling up inside him.
Then, as he took a step in the direction of the entrance door.
A small determine that had been clinging to him stubbornly got here to thoughts.
The face that had caught to him all day and not using a second’s relaxation, like a leech, got here to thoughts.
It should not have come to thoughts, however as soon as he left by that door, it will be over.
That smile got here to thoughts and tormented him.
His steps didn’t falter.
Simply moments in the past, he had witnessed such a horrible sight, but foolishly, he remembered that smile.
Pausing for a second, Dokyun opened his mouth, holding his gaze fastened on the ground, and spoke.
“If I depart”
“Hmm?”
“What is going to occur to Eunah?”
Snicker.
A small laughter was heard, adopted by her phrases.
“Is it necessary?”
After a quick silence, she spoke once more.
“You appear to have caught on by calling her ‘Eunah'”
The deep tone continued with a touch of doubt.
“I do not know why you are doing that.”
It is the identical feeling. She did not know why she was asking such a query both.
“Are you able to deal with it for those who discover out?”
The phrases that got here have been like a stab to the guts.
“Get a grip. She’s a girl you’ve got solely recognized for 2 weeks. Is not she a stranger?”
A stranger.
The phrase felt like a stab within the intestine. She did not know why. It simply felt that method.
Unnie continued her reasoning.
“When you cross the entrance door, it will likely be over, so why trouble asking that?”
Instantly after, she spoke with a tone tinged with amusement.
“So, are you a love at first sight? Those that begin having emotions as quickly as they see somebody. Are you a type of?”
Shiver.
His physique trembled.
Love at first sight, is it proper to see this as love at first sight? Talking frankly, the one factor they did collectively was combine our bodies.
Considering rationally, it was only a fling.
But, that smile directed at him got here to thoughts. The heat that embraced him as if he have been the entire world, the heat that appeared to say the world would finish if he disappeared, got here to thoughts.
“Get a grip. Subsequent time, it may very well be your wrist.”
The chilling pupils that emerged and the wrist that was drawn straight introduced forth concern as soon as once more.
“In case you depart, it is over. Now it is goodbye ceaselessly with this loopy bastard.”
That is proper. It is actually the fitting factor to say
“It is fucked up.”
It was fucked up. That expression was excellent.
I raised my head and rotated. I noticed a face that was smiling slyly, as if mocking me.
The explanation it was fucked up was most likely as a result of that girl appeared to be mocking herself, making me offended, that should be it.
I shifted my steps in the direction of the doorway and approached her.
“Aren’t you leaving?”
“I will handle it myself.”
After taking a deep breath for a second, I spoke once more.
“I feel I have to know as a result of if I maintain going like this, I may not be capable to sleep correctly.”
Sure, that purpose appears good.
As a sufferer of injustice, I have to know the progress of the incident.
I have to know what the perpetrator will undergo.
Not due to the smile that torments me, the physique temperature that appears to be dropping, or the hesitant laughter, however as a sufferer.
“Please inform me.”
I’d really feel extra comfortable if I knew a little bit extra.
