126 – The Scapegoat
– Awesome…
“”………””
As the bedroom door opens and Kang Ha-neul and Pandora come out into the living room, silence begins to flow for a moment.
“Senior.”
A voice mixed with laughter rang out in the silence before long.
“Why are you coming out of the bedroom?”
Rumia, who had been camped out in front of the dining table in the living room, was gazing at the river sky from her room with a creepy atmosphere.
“That with the ‘female’ villain?”
“…You’re not part-time.”
“Really?”
Looking at her with a sidelong glance, the river and the sky as she quietly moved her steps forward.
“Looks like I should.”
“…Why is this?”
“Sup…”
However, Rumia, who had approached him in an instant, began to smell every nook and cranny of his body.
“This is not the smell of senpai…”
“………..”
“Senpai shouldn’t smell like this…”
“…Get out of the way.”
“Ugh.”
She looks at her with her troubled eyes, and eventually pushes her river sky with her strength.
“…Senior.”
Rumia, who had been pushed backwards by that force, grabbed his hand with surprisingly transcendent quickness.
“Isn’t that too much?”
“…….”
“No matter how much you hate me, it’s sad to push away like this…”
Thanks to that, Kang Ha-neul lost his balance and stumbled for a while.
“I would have said Vicky…”
– Soggy…
“…….?”
He growled with a slightly chilled voice, then lowered his gaze as he tilted his head at the damp feeling in his hand.
“Oh.”
– Knocked up…!
But at that very moment, Rumia hurriedly let go of Kang Ha-neul’s hand and fell backwards.
“…..What are you doing?”
Kang Ha-neul, who had been watching the situation with an absurd look, asked a question, but Rumia just picked up the tissue paper from her table with a confused expression that was not usually seen.
“What are you doing?”
– Swoop…
“What did you do that made your hands so wet?”
Just like that, Rumia starts wiping his hands, ignoring the question of the river sky.
“…Ugh.”
“How cool.”
She lowered her head, unable to even properly meet the eyes of Kang Ha-neul, who had always been looking straight at each other. Alone, she quietly blushed.
“…That’s it.”
Looking at that figure with an expression of astonishment, Kang Ha-neul moves her steps while shaking her head.
“I’m the only one who gets tired of dealing with him.”
“…….”
As he clasps Pandora’s hand next to him, Rumia, who had been wiping her hands with her head down, quietly stops her actions.
“…Senpai, don’t you hate me?”
“The guy who ruined my life is a double personality and I’m facing a situation where I’m cheating, but I guess I like psychopaths.”
“I see…”
She asked in a slightly sad voice, and Rumia nodded her head in agreement with his neat answer.
“…This, after all, I think we need to inform the truth somehow quickly.”
“…….”
“Then you’ll go out with me. Yes. It’s a perfect plan.”
As she starts to mutter to herself again, her river sky, which has been glancing at her, begins to quietly exit her living room with her Pandora.
“Senior!”
“…A surprise.”
However, he can’t even walk a few steps and is called up by Rumia.
“I’ve been thinking about it, but I think you’re at a pretty big crossroads right now.”
“…What?”
“Death or life. It’s an important crossroads between a happy ending and a bad ending.”
Kang Ha-neul’s eyes, which used to make a sour expression, become sharper after hearing those words.
“You’ve been comparing the situation to a game ever since.”
“…Heh.”
“He doesn’t seem particularly fond of games, though.”
Rumia opened her mouth with a bright smile immediately at the question that pierced her core.
– Jerrit…
“…Tsk.”
But when her hands start to tremble, as usual, she shuts her mouth silently, clicking her tongue.
“… Come to think of it, you always stop when you try to say something, shaking her right hand.”
However, Kang Ha-neul’s voice is heard once again in her ears.
“Is it like a habit? OCD? If not, are there restrictions?”
“…Senior.”
Rumia’s eyes, which were looking at him while blinking her eyes, soon became bright.
“Pretending not to be, you’ve seen me a lot.”
“…They’re going crazy without even trying, and I can’t help but observe them.”
Looking at her with her slightly weary eyes, she murmured the river sky.
“Oh.”
“Anyway, is this hand the problem?”
As he roughly picks up her Rumia’s right hand, she quietly begins to bite her lower lip.
“Tell me.”
“………”
“What you were about to say earlier, go ahead.”
A shy voice began to escape from her mouth.
“Senior, game…”
– Burrr…
But immediately, her right hand also starts shaking like a seizure.
“…That.”
“…Should I cut it off?”
The next moment, when Lumia’s throat was blocked by her chin, Kang Ha-neul mumbled in a low voice, sensing her strangeness.
– Nodding…
“…Seriously?”
When Rumia nodded her head with her eyes wide open in response to those words, he asked again in a cold sweat.
“If it’s a senior, it’s okay to give her an arm and even one leg!”
“…No need.”
“Don’t hesitate!”
“I think I know roughly what the problem is.”
Muttering like that, Kang Ha-neul’s eyes grew colder.
“…What can I do with this hand?”
“Well?”
“If I cut off your hand now, you won’t have any complaints, will you?”
“Is it okay to kill me in the first place?”
“Okay then…”
That was the moment when he quietly tried to let go of Rumia’s hand.
– Kwadeudeuk…!
“Kuh…!”
Rumia’s right hand, which suddenly stretched forward, began to strangle Kang Ha-neul.
“…..!!!”
Pandora, who was watching Rumia flirting with her boyfriend from her side with a disapproving expression, jumped at her Rumia in a fright.
“This, profit…”
Then, she couldn’t help but scream that she couldn’t let go right away and instead started pulling Lumia’s arm with all her might.
“What is this… What are you doing…?”
“I will…”
Thanks to that, Kang Ha-neul, who was slightly breathless, asked with a trembling voice, and Lumia’s low answer came back.
“I don’t know… I don’t know…”
“…Damn it.”
Unlike her left face with tears on her face, her right face began to change into a creepy expression, and she quietly cursed at the river sky.
– Cudang Tang Tang!!!
The next moment, Kang Ha-neul and Lumia fall apart and land on the floor.
“”………””
And then the static began.
“This… Not yet.”
“…….”
“I haven’t found a way yet, so let’s talk about something else first.”
Rumia, who was the first to catch the opposite s*x in her silence, quietly began to tell her story with a smile on her lips.
“…Okay, senpai?”
It was her river sky staring at her quietly with her mouth closed, in her appearance that was so bright but sad somewhere in her.
.
.
.
.
.
‘…He’s f*cking handsome.’
On the other hand, Rumia was immersed in foolish thoughts while facing his gaze directly at himself.
“…What about the other way around?”
“Oh, that’s simple.”
She comes to her senses at Kang Ha-neul’s question and opens her mouth with an eye smile.
“Let’s start with the things that need to be resolved right in front of us.”
“What exactly are you talking about?”
“I’m talking about attacking the 7 main lines first.”
Then Kang Ha-neul is quietly thinking.
“…Why? Now is the best time to hit the 7th main line, right?”
“…….”
“There has never been an easier time to rob an empty house than now, when we are so conceited after deciding that the Dominating Hands have been destroyed.”
Rumia, who whispered to him in a soft voice, began to tilt her head quietly.
“It’s strange… He’s the kind of person who would readily agree.”
“…What do you know about me.”
“I bet you know better than anyone but you?”
In the end, she muttered while firmly cutting off Kang Ha-neul’s words.
“…Looks like you have something.”
“…….”
“Kang Ha-neul, who had nothing and gave up his life recklessly, is gone.”
Rumia’s gaze turned to Pandora, who was next to Kang Ha-neul.
“Should I love this or hate it…”
– Swoop…
When her Pandora begins to make her terrified expression in her eerie eyes, her river sky quietly embraces her in his arms.
“Don’t look at me like that.”
“…Hmm.”
“Don’t react like that.”
“It’s fun.”
As he growls low, Rumia gives a calyx to her chin with a look of interest.
“That kid, after all.”
“What?”
“Maybe this would be good…”
For some reason, ominous remarks flowed from her mouth.
“…Can you handle it?”
“I don’t know what you’re trying to say, but in moderation?”
“…hahahaha.”
Hearing those words, Kang Ha-neul reacts sensitively, and she lowers her head and is quietly lost in her thoughts.
‘…Things will get bigger later.’
She knew.
“………?”
Pandora, an executive of Dominating Hands, is making a puzzled expression next to Kang Ha-neul.
‘What can I do…’
That means that she has never survived to the end no matter what option she chooses in the game.
‘…Even that river sky has an option to survive.’
Rumia, who was gazing at the sky of the river holding Pandora dearly, began to sink into her deep depths.
.
.
.
.
.
“…….”
Meanwhile, at that time.
“…What?”
Himari, who hurriedly packed her bags and was about to leave the hospital in search of Kang Ha-neul, opened her mouth with a dazed expression.
“Hospital bills…?”
“Yes, patient.”
“Yeah, but…”
A cold sweat began to run down her forehead, who did not know much about the world.
“…Woah, it wasn’t even my will to be brought here?”
“You still have to pay.”
