80 – Dongmin Lee (15)
Dongmin Lee (15)
Certainly, I have grown up too.
It’s embarrassing to say it yourself, but she kept her mind calm even when she was threatened by Kim Hye-eun.
“……”
It was scary.
An nemesis to meet for the first time in years.
I can’t help but be traumatized.
Still, I made up my mind.
If I become weak, Harin has no choice but to fill the void as much as I weaken.
If that happens, the fact that Kim Hye-eun and I contacted will be known, and the detectives circling around Haerin and me will also find signs.
‘Signs?’
No, this is a trap.
I couldn’t force Haerin into that trap.
What they asked me to do in the first place was to capture the moment Harin revealed his murderous intent.
“I have no choice but to go.”
Whatever Kim Hye-eun wants from me, she doesn’t have the slightest intention of joining the game like she used to.
It has to be me.
It’s my disgrace, so I have to take responsibility.
[(Address)]
I checked the text from Kim Hye-eun with a sidelong glance.
Inadvertently, I saw a wine-red laptop.
The reason why no one opened it and the dust didn’t accumulate even though it was left in the corner the whole time is probably because Haerin cleaned it meticulously.
Somehow, I don’t feel the strange spirit like before, but I had to check that first.
Even if this breaks our unspoken rule-
“……”
USB was still linked.
I turned on the power and opened the file.
The ‘Abduction’ folder, which is separate from the ‘Main Story’ folder where the contents excluding the recent stockpile are stored.
Herin’s whereabouts are recorded here.
I haven’t checked it for more than a few weeks already, but it’s been steadily being written by myself.
This time, I wanted to find out what she thought first.
There was a record until yesterday.
The laptop that first arrived to me wrote down Harin’s every move in real time.
But after she found out that she was a character in a novel, the way she operated changed.
This may have something to do with materialization.
A few speculations about the laptop.
From what I’ve seen here, it seems that the content is updated after midnight.
Because of our life pattern of always sleeping at 23:00, and since I stopped caring about it implicitly, I haven’t personally seen it written.
When I was thinking about my older sister, I also couldn’t sleep and wandered around the living room like a sleepwalker.
Of course, it might be something like hallucinations.
At that time, I was in a more hazy state of mind than usual, and I was mistaken that I had heard my sister’s sobs.
I felt sorry for Sesam.
At that time, I thought maybe I should have opened my laptop.
But that must have been deceiving Haerin.
Isn’t it too shady to wake up at dawn and check the contents while pretending not to?
“……”
I read Harin’s actions until the latest episode.
There was nothing special about it.
As written in the sharing plan, Haerin, who woke up early, moved step by step according to the contents.
The psychological description was not in depth either.
It was rather drier than expected.
I was honestly a bit taken aback when she told me that she once put colored paper next to my sleeping face to try to match my personal color when she went to the department store.
If I did that, how would I know what he would have done to me, who doesn’t wake up in the middle of a night’s sleep?
At least he didn’t stare at my face.
Well, that in itself is not wrong.
As if Haerin is often appreciating the sculptures during her meal, she was often staring blankly at my face.
So she has no reason to see me sleeping.
Even if you look at it openly, you don’t say anything.
But will you be satisfied with what you see?
Haerin’s patience was superhuman.
It’s me, though I remember stabbing her thigh that progress in our relationship would only lead to ruin.
Haerin didn’t have to listen to that.
Even if she raped me because she became a beast, I have nothing to be ashamed of or say.
Even if that happens, I will feel sorry for her because it was I, her creator, who gave her her desires.
It’s my fault that I was programmed or brainwashed to lust after and be attracted to someone like me.
Nevertheless, she endured surprisingly well.
That setting is colorless.
To the point of embarrassing me.
I wouldn’t be surprised if I exaggerated a little.
“Oh, there you are.”
I read a passage from the notebook.
[… Dongmin’s sleeping face. I turned on the mood light to see it better. Even though I adjusted the amount of light, it wriggled a little as if it was a little uncomfortable. Looking at the curves of his features that seem a bit thin but still retain his youthful beauty, a sense of satisfaction rises.]
As expected, while I was sleeping, Haerin was looking at my face with an excessively beautified face.
“Thank you.”
Even that distorted image was most likely due to the delusional settings I had implanted in her.
I wondered if there was more, but all she did was stroke her hair.
“… Didn’t wake up even though it was like this.”
Haerin’s chronic insomnia setting was actually my past when I was suffering from a chronic disease.
During her teenage years, her father came in late in the morning to beat her mother, or woke her up to discipline her, so she developed a habit of sleeping lightly.
But after coming here, I stopped waking up in the middle of the day, so while Haerin was with me, it seemed like she cured my insomnia.
Otherwise, I would have woken up long ago when I turned on the mood light or stroked her hair.
[… The candidate sites were summarized in a few places. Hae Rin Kang obtained several maps, including her xx gu, and attached them to the wall, marking a place where Idami was likely to be…]
[… The detectives and Lee Da-mi were still connected. The existence of the GPS did not seem to have been noticed by the detectives yet, but it is possible that it was also a target. If Idami is directing them…]
“… It’s not 『Kang Hae-Rin’s Murder Diary』, It’s 『Kang Hae-Rin’s Investigation Diary』.”
I muttered out loud.
This mansion has many rooms besides bedrooms.
While I was writing the novel, Haerin moved to several places, one of which was the ‘meeting room’.
It’s funny that there is a ‘meeting room’ in an ordinary family house, but as she said, it was a temporary title.
Data to uncover the sister’s whereabouts.
From noble mtl dot com
A space where you can establish multiple strategies.
I went in a few times, but it seemed that excessive interest in her sister would upset Hae-rin, so she deliberately didn’t pay enough attention.
Anyway, even if I asked about this and that, it would only increase Haerin’s suspicion, and there was nothing I could do about it.
This is because sister’s whereabouts have become so vague that I don’t know if she really rose to the sky or went down to the ground.
To the extent that if Harin did not have the same superhuman abilities, no one would be able to find them.
Of course, the reason why the police couldn’t find a single pair of my sister’s shoes was because they were deliberate.
Just as Harin said, her detectives were her and her companions.
Checking the contents of the notebook has been completed.
Except for Haerin’s impressions and description of me, she seemed to be all about finding her sister.
‘Perfect happiness.’
Paradoxically, the older sister who emerged as Haerin’s strongest rival became a target for her older sister.
“……”
It was disappointing that real-time linking was not possible, but in summary, today’s outing was scheduled.
[…On the 17th of xx month, the operation begins in earnest.]
Haerin is the type to thoroughly set goals and carry them out, even if you look at how obsessed with a shared schedule or how all the details are set in advance.
So, she is staying out tonight.
That is the only certainty.
I changed my clothes and got ready to go out.
Since Kim Hye-eun is not a villain in 『Journal』, Strictly speaking, meeting her isn’t wrong.
The two strikes that Haerin warned me about.
This means that it is not counted.
I don’t have to worry about this part because Haerin cut it right off.
All I need is my determination.
As I firmly conveyed my intention to Kim Hye-eun, I am requesting that unnecessary files be deleted.
I’m not as naive as I used to be.
If I knew her, she wouldn’t be thorough enough to back up her files and keep them.
I don’t even know how to use the cloud.
I don’t think I’ll ever keep my promise.
Even when I was in school, I was subjected to such tricks quite a bit.
After filming the scene where I was being beaten by Seo In-woo, they ate various things saying that he would delete it.
Of course, those files were not deleted.
I won’t make the same mistake as back then.
Perhaps the videos from that time are stored on the phone or, at most, on the SD card.
‘There is no backup.’
I intend to take it by force.
Because I have been exercising steadily in my regular life lately, I have that level of agility.
Even if the reward is paid in money, Hyeeun Kim cannot be persuaded with words.
In that case, everything would have been resolved before.
Kim Hye-eun said, “She will only think of my suppressed self, so after letting her guard down, she swoops in and snatches it away.”
My humiliating videos are themselves.
She has shown me many times that she seems to be in sync with my emotions or senses, and if so, when she sees it, she will not be able to contain her anger or shame.
At that time, no matter how much I tried to stop it-
I can’t.
‘Question and answer dance.’
Just like Hyeeun Kim, I will not follow the rules.
Paradoxically, her fear of Haerin, which still lingers dimly, made me brave.
That made Kim Hye-eun look like a novice.
“Come back before dinner.”
The clock ticked 2:00 PM.
Haerin has prepared side dishes for me to eat for dinner, so she will notice if I skip it.
After I ran her simulation in her head, she informed her that she had to be back before evening.
“And I can’t even eat.”
I have to eat the rice Haerin gave me.
Kim Hye-eun replied yes.
It was a much cooler attitude than I thought.

“Haa, but how about this-?”
Kim Hye-eun stroked her chin with her reddish face.
She makes a purr, trembling sound and hasn’t changed much from her high school days.
However, her hair has become a bit lighter brown, and her style is definitely quite revealing.
She doesn’t look really tall, but she’s definitely lost weight, her face has become slimmer, and she looks taller.
My makeup is more natural than before.
She whispered to me with one of her eyes.
“I left my SD card behind. Sorry.”
She put her hands together and pretended to apologize.
… For the first time, I wanted to punch someone.
Leave it?
That can’t be.
I knew her Kim Hye-eun’s personality all too well.
This came out to some extent within the scope of calculation.
