26 – Haerin Kang (26)
Haerin Kang (26)
I posted a notice about resuming serialization of 『Journal』.
Even after the year-round announcement, readers who had been giving all sorts of creative hateful comments and tearful pleas to the latest edition, as soon as the news of the resumption of the series was announced, gratefully this time, for the year-round announcement, readers left encouraging comments.
[5252 Author Kang Hae-rin believed in me-!]
[My life without Kang Hae-rin… was like red beans without bread. Welcome, writer!!]
[I love you Kang Hae-rin♡ I love you Kang Hae-rin♡ I love you Kang Hae-rin♡ I love you Kang Hae-rin♡ I love you Kang Hae-rin♡ I love you Kang Hae-rin♡ I love you Kang Hae-rin♡ I love you Kang Hae-rin♡ I love you Kang Hae-rin♡ I love you Kang Hae-rin♡ I love you Kang Hae-rin♡ I love you Kang Hae-rin♡ Kang Ha I love you Rin♡ I love you Kang Haerin♡ I love you Kang Haerin♡ I love you Kang Haerin♡]
[37 days of holding your breath until Kang Haerin returns, finally going to heaven, Lord, holding your breath, Haerin DIVE]
Out of courtesy, I first contacted PD Ban Yu-ri, but as soon as I received the text, she called me.
She was delighted that it went well.
‘If you don’t mind, I’ll buy you a meal, so can I visit you nearby? Can we talk about novels?’
I was a little surprised by her words.
Because I didn’t know you would care so much.
During the serialization, we talked on the phone quite often, but I refused because it was burdensome to eat alone.
Still, the heart is grateful.
‘It’s been a while since I’ve been serializing, so it must be hard. It’s not that I’m upset, but as a fan of the author, I’m very curious. Who will Haerin hunt next?’
she said eagerly.
I couldn’t answer there.
It was already decided who to ‘hunt’, but he was reluctant to say it out of his mouth.
This episode was different from other episodes.
Because it’s a real person.
Of course, he doesn’t mention his real name and cleverly changes the letters, but everyone in the know will know.
Perhaps because of that, the expression ‘hunting’ was a bit jarring.
Of course, PD-nim Ban Yu-ri isn’t saying it with the intention of disregarding life.
‘… It’s just school in the background. this time.’
‘Hmm, is that so?’
PD let out an ambiguous moan.
‘Isn’t that bad?’
‘No, no. I feel like I’m a little less than I used to be. But since the writer is writing it, you should write it well, right? university, right? If middle and high school students are victims, there must be a problem.’
‘… Ah yes. Not that one.’
‘Yes, then I’ll look forward to it, author!’
After hanging up the phone, I started typing that evening and wrote a new episode.
I thought it would be difficult because it’s been a while since I’ve been writing, but fortunately, Kang Hae-rin in the novel moved as if she were alive and created the next episode.
“… Ah, because he’s really alive…”
I drew the curtains in the room I use as a workroom in my own room, and only the nightstand lights were on.
After the night in question, the wine-red laptop that had been describing Kang Hae-rin’s actions had stopped working.
I tried charging it, and pressing the power button several times with the feeling of catching a straw, but it was also useless.
So close.
If this works again, there will be a way to alleviate Kang Hae-rin’s anger.
It won’t be easy, but it’s possible to predict her intentions, so unexpected situations can be avoided.
I had no choice but to start a new job with the laptop Kang Hae-rin gave me.
`
“… It’s a problem even if it’s written too well.”
Even though Park Se-young was changed to ‘Park Se-rin’ and Baek Yu-ram to ‘Baek Yoo-hyeon’, it was only one letter difference, and the writer had to keep imagining it.
A gruesome murder scene.
It is hard work to describe it from Kang Hae-rin’s point of view.
I had to imagine Kang Hae-rin, who returned as a murderer, mimicking Baek Yu-ram’s voice, kidnapping Park Se-young, and brutally torturing her in an underground studio.
“ha…”
I drank three caffeinated drinks today alone.
Writing a novel as a real person was like hell.
It’s like being a real killer.
Still, once I got hooked on it, I tend to use it quickly, so I was able to finish 3 episodes in one night.
I thought it would be better to get rid of it quickly if it was going to hit anyway, so I uploaded it in bulk.
Kang Hae-rin will also be satisfied when Park Se-yeong and Baek Yu-ram in the novel die, so then she can stop doing this.
“… Okay, let’s finish this quickly.”
The time was 2 in the morning.
But I decided to write another one.
As a result of the development as fast as possible, Kang Hae-rin was able to kidnap Park Se-young to her house in three episodes.
Let’s finish torturing and killing her with one side.
In the fourth episode, Park Se-young died after being tortured.
That day, although I had a nightmare, I felt refreshed.
At least it was because of the fact that I wouldn’t have to relive this terrible imagination again.
Let’s handle the baekyuram by tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
That, too, is speedy.
#
I was late for lecture the next day.
I fell asleep with the curtains closed, but I can tell just by looking at the angle and color of the sunlight coming through the curtains.
That you’re tired.
In the end, I gave up going to school.
The lecture that day happened to be a liberal arts lecture with Park Se-young, so I thought it went better.
‘I killed you yesterday, Se-young.’
I wouldn’t say that, but when I was writing a novel, I was trying to give it a ‘realism’ by imagining even the texture of the skin in detail, so it was quite tiring.
Even from Kang Hae-rin’s point of view, it’s as if he really did something terrible to Park Se-young.
I looked at my phone, and there was a text message from her.
[Brother, is class starting?]
[Aren’t you coming today? tardy?]
That was all.
Feeling bitter, I texted Haerin Kang.
[Haerin, I uploaded a novel.]
Whoops.
A reply came right away.
[I checked. I’ll read it well ^^]
“……”
I was lying in bed, bruised, when the phone rang.
“… Baek Yu-ram?”
I got a call unexpectedly.
[Hey, Lee Dong-min. You said you didn’t come to class today?]
“…Yeah, but…”
[Are you going to join our club?]
It was an unknown conversation flow.
Baek Yoo-ram was talking rather loudly as usual, but strangely, he seemed to be looking at me.
“… I’m sorry, but my girlfriend won’t allow it.”
[His girlfriend, girlfriend.]
Baek Yoo-ram pretended to be nervous.
Can not help it.
I know that I don’t want to see this in the eyes of others, but now I have to live with Kang Hae-rin.
That’s a place for you guys too.
Wouldn’t it be better for Kang Hae-rin to be content with a novel rather than hunting for Park Se-young and Baek Yu-ram?
[Don’t do that, come in.]
“… I can’t.”
[Because I’ll tell my girlfriend.]
“what? Hey, wait a minute…”
[Lee Dong-min, why are you so scared?]
“uh?”
[Is Kang Hae-rin so scared?]
“It’s not scary…”
[It’s not what I’m saying, but you look like a beaten husband. After I broke up with Song Yeon-woo, I wonder why he noticed so much, but I wasn’t that tidy either. I knew right away after a week of dating him. So from then on, I kept asking to break up. I fought until the end, but still-]
Baek Yoo-ram poured out his words.
I remembered Baek Yoo-ram and Song Yeon-woo raising their voices on the way to dinner after listening to the lecture.
I know her personality isn’t normal, but seeing how she fought while being slapped on the cheek by Song Yeon-woo, who is over 180cm tall, it was definitely amazing.
But that case is different.
Doesn’t Song Yeon-woo kill people?
Haerin Kang is said to tear people apart.
[If you are afraid to speak, I will speak for you.]
“Oh, you don’t have to. It’s just that I… I’m a bit shy…”
[Sounds funny! that’s an old story I knew you were too But I do have a pretty girlfriend like Kang Haerin, and she’s talented. And there are a lot of girls who pretend to know you as they come and go?]
“……”
[And now there are only our members, Hwang Ji-young, Kim Yuna, me, and Park Se-young, so come in quickly. Goya only if you come I’ve put all ready right now.]
As Baek Yu-ram said, it is true that there are many juniors who say hello to me recently.
To be honest, it’s a recent one, but since the beginning of classes, the stiff atmosphere has eased, so the girls in particular have often greeted me and run away.
When I was in middle school and high school, I remembered the Iljins who forced me to touch my breasts and extorted money.
There were mischievous kids who faked confessions and made people laugh, then filmed them on camera and ran away.
Fortunately, I don’t think that was the case, but the trauma was almost gone.
I haven’t changed, so what’s the problem?
[Yeah, I’ll tell you anyway~]
“Hey, sleep…!”
The phone cut off just like that.
I urgently called Haerin Kang.
Because the end of the two people was so bad.
In particular, Baek Yu-ram’s straightforward way of speaking made her feel bad, and she didn’t know what to do.
[The customer is on the phone, so to the call center…]
“… ha, that’s going crazy.”
I tried calling again after a while, but…
[The customer is on the phone, so to the call center…]
The phone call couldn’t have been this long to get permission to join my club.
Maybe it took 10 minutes?
I was going to and from the living room nervously, and the phone rang.
[Lee Dong-min, did you get permission?]
Baek Yoo-ram, who talks nonsense.
Her voice wasn’t too bad.
Feeling the same as 10 minutes ago?
“… you got permission?”
Because of my jealousy of Park Se-young and Baek Yu-ram, I naturally thought Kang Hae-rin would not allow it, but I was dumbfounded by the unexpected answer.
[Do you have any problem?]
“… No, I’ll check.”
[Are you afraid I lied? Great, you too.]
Baek Yoo-ram admired.
[I apologized to my girlfriend and asked for it. Lee Dong-min said he wants to join a club because he likes web novels.]
“… Now that you know it, hang up.”
[okay. I’ll invite you to the chat room. I decided that my next novel would be 『Kang Hae-rin’s Murder Diary』, so I know that.]
“…really do it with that?”
[Yeah, I originally planned not to do it because I was a year-round writer, but after hearing Hwang Ji-young, I heard that a re-serial notice was posted? I’m reading the middle right now… but anyway, I’ll have my first meeting with it. I’m saying this out of an old woman’s heart, but I got permission from Mr. Kang Hae-rin, so I know that~]
“……”
The phone is disconnected.
“What the hell are you thinking?”
I sat down on the bed and covered my head.
“… No, is it too obvious?”
Haerin Kang wants you to look at it.
Whoever sees it, I hope they will watch the scene where a person close to Kang Hae-rin kills Park Se-young and Baek Yu-ram.
So what does she get?
I was lost in thought as I opened the plastic of fried udon and cup noodles for my first meal and boiled water.
“What the hell is that?”
I can not know.
Anyway, I have to do my job.
Since there was only one lecture today, he is going to kill even Baek Yoo-ram by raising his momentum.
It’s strange to say this, though.
Speed-up is the best.
If the two of them end up with 7 or 8 episodes, Kang Hae-rin will definitely be satisfied.
Thinking about the next plot and how to kill Baek Yu-ram, I poured water into my cup of noodles.
While the tempura udon is cooking.
Whoops.
got a call.
It was Park Se-young.
“……..”
I felt ashamed as if the call came from the person I killed yesterday, but I answered the call without hesitating any more.
[senior.]
… Is the title ‘Senior’ again?
Park Se-young seemed to be quite conscious of the distance when he called me ‘brother’ and ‘senpai’.
Do you feel the distance again now?
I felt sad but fortunate.
Kang Hae-rin wanted Park Se-young to call me ‘senpai’ instead of oppa, and if she persists in calling me ‘oppa’, that could be a problem.
Anyway, I keep turning off aggro.
I decided to use it for a novel.
It was probably because Kang Hae-rin needed an opportunity to select Park Se-rin, who is ‘tailoring’ Lee Dong-min (actually written as ‘Lee Dong-hyun’) in the novel, as her prey.
[… Kang Hae-rin didn’t know that she would have such childish love feelings, but deep down she was happy about it. Joy for the first time in her life. However, there was a ‘fire fox-like b*tch’ that hindered it.]
Needing a motive, I was forced to give a rather conscience-prickly description.
For Kang Hae-rin to fall in love with Lee Dong-hyun, probability was necessary, and then the answer was visual.
In a word, I had no choice but to describe myself as a handsome young man, a homme fatale, enough to fall in love with Haerin Kang, the worst murderer in history.
… I was really ashamed to the point of madness.
But the most embarrassing and apologetic thing is that I had to make ‘Park Se-rin’ a victim character who ‘flirted’ with Lee Dong-hyun, who was portrayed that way.
Even though Park Se-young had never been like that, it was the only way to give purpose to Kang Hae-rin’s actions.
If Park Se-young knew that Se-rin Park in the novel was herself, she would feel very bad.
You know he’s portrayed flirting to get my attention, which I don’t care about.
[Did you sleep in today?]
“Ah, yes.”
I said awkwardly.
[I heard about Yoo-ram unnie. I heard you decided to join the club?]
“… I don’t know. I had to get Harin’s permission.”
[senior.]
Park Se-young lowered her voice and said.
“huh?”
[Only seniors know this?]
“… huh.”
[Kang Hae-rin is the author of 『Journal』.]
“… what?”
[This time, the notice of resumption of serialization was posted, and three episodes were posted in a row last night, and the background is our school.]
Park Se-young was not sure and seemed to be blindly believing.
She lowered her voice even more.
[Kang Hae-rin is the writer ‘Kang Hae-rin’.]
… Oh, my God.
Now, it seemed that he understood Kang Hae-rin’s meaning.
“Hey, Park Se-young.”
I said.
“Pretend you don’t know that. Understand? No, it can’t be like that in the first place. It’s a coincidence. So don’t say that Kang Hae-rin wrote that novel, and don’t even think about it.”
I hung up.
“… ha…”
The world spun around.
Kang Hae-rin, you’re not aiming for Park Se-young, are you?
You shouldn’t make excuses.
