29 – Haerin Kang (29)
Haerin Kang (29)
During break time, I came to the break room.
It was late in the afternoon, so the student cafeteria was not open, so I packed a lunch box and came here because I was afraid to meet a familiar face.
Looking back, I grew up a lot too.
To avoid meeting ‘someone I know’.
It is the development of the Nachi-gon clan, who was bullied.
The lunch box was packed by Haerin Kang.
It is said that it was made by myself, but I couldn’t help but doubt while watching the salmon and tuna in a tantalizing color.
What the hell can’t you do, kid?
It’s a skill I gave you, but it’s thrilling to see you actually recreate the things you’ve said in sentences.
Whether it’s unfortunate or fortunate, the lectures with Kang Hae-rin surprisingly didn’t overlap much.
Only one class overlapped with the novel creation class and the choice of major.
Rather, the overlapping lectures were with Park Se-young the most, so it was a pain to avoid conversation every time.
As I dipped the moderately cold salmon sushi in soy sauce and put it in my mouth, I felt a bittersweet feeling.
There was hot tea in the thermos.
Park Se-young is doing something he can’t do.
But she went too far.
I asked her not to do background investigations on Kang Hae-rin, but according to Kang Hae-rin, I came close to her house.
Are you trying to follow Kang Hae-rin?
There was such an episode in the novel as well.
A male detective who has a rational crush on Kang Hae-rin follows her around and becomes suspicious when he finds out that there are strangely many missing people around her.
… The ending is the disintegration of the limbs.
Not a metaphor, but for real.
Suffering from a terrible but destructive delusion at the time, I had Kang Hae-rin torture the male detective alive by cutting off all his limbs.
Admit it.
I was crazy.
If you think rationally, the current Kang Hae-rin is not the ‘perpetrator’ who did such a brutal thing.
The detective who tracked her down is a fictional character.
That’s why, even though I thought there was no need to be so afraid, I couldn’t be relieved after all.
Kang Hae-rin said that it is me or murder that maintains her identity.
If you are with me, your insensitivity will be cured and you will feel like you are alive, but if I am not with you, you can only feel it through murder as the original setting of the novel.
Unless the laptop was fixed again so I could fix her settings, I needed to take care of Kang Hae-rin’s mentality.
If Kang Hae-rin goes crazy and does cruel things to Park Se-young or Baek Yu-ram, I will not be able to stand it.
They were kind to me, so I wanted to protect them.
That’s why I screamed at Park Se-young.
I was insane then.
I had to be insane to be able to scream that loud because my head was messed up.
Last time at the web novel club, Park Se-young seemed determined and started questioning Kang Hae-rin in front of her.
‘What do you think of when you look at the literary and creative department of S University, which is the background of the latest episode, Kang Hae-rin?’
She threw off a provocative smile.
Kang Hae-rin answered with a smile without being embarrassed at all because she knew who wrote this novel.
‘well?’
‘Don’t you know?’
‘So what? Do I need to know?’
‘Ha ha, no. You may not know. However, I would like to present as evidence that this sentence structure… the frequency of the frequently used words is quite similar to the novel that Mr.
… is this the court?
Kang Hae-rin’s writing style and 『Ilji』’s writing style could not be said to be very similar.
According to the setting, Kang Hae-rin likes pure literature.
It has nothing to do with web fiction at all.
Still, if Park Se-young read the connection there, it must have been my influence as an artist.
From nob le mt l. co m
Just like Haerin Kang doesn’t like spicy things because I don’t like spicy things, and Haerin Kang likes colorful styles because I like rampant style.
‘well? Could it be a coincidence?’
‘It’s a coincidence… isn’t it? What a strange coincidence, right? If so, good. Present the following evidence…’
Watching the war of nerves between the two women, which was not a war of nerves, made my hamstrings go numb.
Why the hell are you doing this?
Apparently, the day before yesterday, Park Se-young over the phone asked her to turn off her attention, but she was persistent.
I tried to prove Kang Hae-rin’s malice.
At first, I also tried to be patient.
Be patient, persevere, and once the first meeting was over, I tried to convince Kang Hae-rin not to come again.
I couldn’t even bring Kang Hae-rin to the first meeting because she insisted on attending.
Originally, despite Baek Yoo-ram’s request, I was going to not attend because I didn’t want to give Kang Hae-rin an excuse.
In the end… if this kind of thing didn’t happen again, if Park Se-young didn’t want to get caught in Kang Hae-rin’s trap, I had no choice but to mess it up and ruin everything.
‘I can’t listen!’
screaming like that
Since I don’t usually make loud noises, my throat has been sharp since that day.
Baek Yu-ram sent a message that he was unable to attend.
She replied as if she understood.
So I am alone again.
They were friends who always came to me when I was lonely and lonely, but I couldn’t put them in danger.
I was worried that my actions would be too revealing, but Kang Hae-rin fortunately didn’t say anything.
“…Let’s write something.”
I uploaded three episodes at once, but I couldn’t come up with an idea to kill Baek Yoo-ram after that.
I tried to use it quickly, but in the end, Baek Yoo-ram uploaded only the part that was captured by Kang Hae-rin’s radar.
Specifically, how to torture and kill her, and how to direct her as a person who would do that, have not yet come up with specific ideas.
It was impossible to rehash old ideas.
With that smart mind, Haerin Kang knew all the episodes of her past works and the techniques in them.
He knew better than me as a writer.
‘Wouldn’t strangulation be too simple, darling? You used that tactic to kill Iljin, the perpetrator of school violence, in episode 563 before.’
‘………’
It was fortunate that the process of Park Se-young’s capture and death was confirmed because he was so sincere in the technique and description.
I grabbed a piece of sushi and put my hand on the keyboard.
Haerin Kang had to write it satisfactorily.
To do so, the description of Baek Yu-ram should have been drawn exaggeratedly and maliciously as much as possible…
I’m sorry, Baek Yu-ram.
Tadat, Tadat.
When I started writing the first sentence after thinking about it for a long time.
“…she was, in a word, a whore.”
“…?”
I was startled by a sudden voice in my ear and took a defensive stance, covering my laptop.
“Puhahahaha, oppa, your expression is so funny.”
The woman who clapped and liked was Park Se-young.
“What kind of novel is this? Already the next joint novel? Whore, isn’t the wording too strong?”
“…you, why are you here…”
“It’s a coincidence.”
“… Good job.”
I got up with a serious expression on my face.
I didn’t know that I was going to talk to you first when I said something insulting in the club.
Park Se-young, as usual, smiled with deep dimples and acted friendly.
It was really dangerous.
Isn’t it against the law to whisper in your ear?
What kind of kid doesn’t have bad breath?
“Brother, talk to me.”
“I have nothing to say to you.”
“brother-!”
she came after me
In a celebrity following a guy like me, the beautiful Park Se-young was enough to draw people’s attention.
The more I did, the more I accelerated my steps.
I sincerely felt sorry for her, but it would be difficult if she was caught being with Park Se-young.
Knowing Haerin Kang’s timetable, I know that she is taking another lecture now.
Originally, she wanted to skip school and focus on me.
It was the reason that studying in the department or pretending to be me was useless as long as I realized that everything was fake.
But I wanted to make her like a normal girl, so I put a condition on it.
Let’s stay normal.
One of them was to faithfully listen to the department classes.
She must have intelligence anyway, just like wealth and cooking skills that came from nowhere.
He’ll be smarter than me, the creator, so with a little effort, he’ll be able to win a scholarship.
The tuition will not be insufficient, but studying for the scholarship itself will give her a new meaning.
She said that if she got a scholarship, she would do it herself and give me the money to pay.
As our relationship was about to calm down, Park Se-young’s existence was like a land mine.
Regardless of her intentions, if she finds out I’m with other girls, Haerin Kang might get the excuse that I’ve lost trust.
I had to act perfectly.
“Brother Dongmin.”
“Please stop. Seyoung Park. Please return.”
“This is why I seem to be following you because I like you. I’ve never heard of being ugly anywhere. Are you being treated so badly?”
She seemed to have no speed, and even after hearing such verbal abuse from me, she approached me casually, joking around.
I couldn’t let her go
So I sprinted.
Dada da da da-!
No matter how athletic I was, Park Se-young also didn’t seem to have that great running skills, and thanks to the unavoidable physical difference, I quickly distanced myself from her.
Because there is a height difference of almost 20 cm.
“hahahaha…”
When I looked back, she wasn’t there.
Relieved, I sent a message to Kang Hae-rin.
Originally, it was supposed to meet her in the break room after she finished the lecture and go back together, but since we couldn’t go on like this, it was said to see her at home.
Thinking of just writing at home, I entered the password and opened the door.
I stepped on the front door, but there was no sound of the door lock that was supposed to be closed with a beeping sound.
“… lol…”
chills down the spine
“Let’s talk for a minute, brother.”
“……..”
Park Se-young stood holding the door.
She was smiling brightly, as if she was having fun, even though she was breathing heavily, as if she had strained a bit.
I really couldn’t understand.
“… Hey, why are you doing this to me?”
“You acknowledged it now. “Why are you doing this?” You acknowledged that I was doing this for my brother. Yes? Oppa unconsciously confessed to being cornered.”
“……”
“Why are you doing this? I don’t know. me too. Are you just comfortable with your brother? But I’m kind of worried. When I was young, I knew someone like an older brother, but I didn’t pay attention to him… there was something I felt sorry for. So maybe that’s why.”
“…Park Se-young.”
“yes?”
she said with an innocent expression.
It felt like it was going to break my heart, but I had no choice but to say something heartbreaking to get it off.
“…don’t use me to cheer you up.”
“……”
“And please don’t even use the title ‘oppa’. I’m sorry, but Harin doesn’t like it.”
“……”
It was a terrible pain to see the smile slowly disappear from Park Se-young’s expression, which had been bright all along.
I turned away from her eyes.
“… go back now.”
“no, I do not want.”
“… what?”
“As expected, this has been confirmed. I’ll just call you senior. But I think it’s also strange that people do things that people haven’t done this far.”
Park Se-young pushed my chest and came inside.
clap.
As the door closed behind my back, the lazy afternoon light disappeared and the room darkened a bit.
A decision hung over Park Se-young’s face.
“I really need to know. Senior Dongmin. What are you so afraid of? What are the two of you?”
“… Hey, we’re dating…”
Whoops.
Then, a message came on my phone.
[Dongmin.]
[I’m not in the mood to listen to lectures today, so I’m dropping out midway. It has already departed.]
“……..”
absurd content.
It’s an impulsive act that the Kang Haerin I know would never do, but she has changed.
I can’t say that Kang Hae-rin now is the Kang Hae-rin when I first set her up.
As she requested, I sent her a study file of my relationship with her.
She was deliberately behaving differently from the self I described in the novel.
It must still be part of it.
I called her urgently.
“Come on, Harin. wait for a sec. we promised Listen carefully to lectures. A sincere and ordinary student…”
[no. Because I feel like killing myself. It’s your fault for making me feel this way. is not it?]
“……..”
I couldn’t tell if it was a joke or serious.
[If I hold Dong-min, that kind of heart disappears, so I want to hold it for the sake of others. It’s a choice for everyone. It’s all over now.]
and after a while
smart.
A knock was heard.
Park Se-young, standing in front of him, seemed to flinch, but he looked at me boldly.
Haerin Kang knows the password to our house.
The reason it didn’t open right away was because we decided not to open and close it arbitrarily as agreed in advance.
But if she knows I’m in the house and the door is delayed, she’ll just throw it open.
“……..”
I pulled Park Se-young’s wrist.
“Are you okay, senior?”
Park Se-young opened her eyes wide and ran to me.
It was lighter than expected.
“… we can’t get caught. So… so… Okay, here, hide in the closet. sorry.”
“… senior? I have to go this far…”
“Just do as you are told.”
I lifted her up and put her in the closet.
Park Se-young was hidden between my clothes.
“sorry.”
I apologized to her again and shut the door.
Maybe Kang Hae-rin will understand if she explains the situation well as she said, but even if she overcomes the current crisis, Park Se-young will become more dangerous later.
It will be more irritating in her eyes.
Maybe I won’t be satisfied with meeting death in a novel.
I opened the door paying attention to the expression on my face.
“What did you do?”
Haerin Kang smiled and said.
