134 – All-out War (5)
“Kill me…?”
“…Ha, sky?”
As Kang Haneul began to mutter with a straight face, Himari’s complexion, who was being held by the black shadow’s hand, turned pale.
“W-what are you talking about…?”
“…….”
“Lord, you’re killing me. Who…?”
Even though he was in a state of insanity, he managed to hear the word ‘kill’ flowing from Kang Ha-neul’s mouth.
“Hey, you know. Listen to me.”
“…….”
“Ha, Sky. I have something I want to say.”
As she looked at the sky over her river with a frightened expression, she stuttered and tried to start a story.
“…You’re speaking arbitrarily again.”
“Oh?”
“In front of other people, I should have always waited until you finished speaking.”
However, her river Haneul, who cut off her words midway, began to slowly approach her, exuding her cold chill.
“Because in front of other people, I was just your henchman, right?”
“Well, that’s…”
After hearing her words, Himari began to stutter.
“I… I was in a special position at that time…”
“Special position?”
“Well, the Shinwa Group’s management was in turmoil due to my grandfather’s absence. You know that well… Right?”
“…….”
“As the likely successor, I shouldn’t have had any books at that time…”
Her eyes become a little more anxious.
“Oh, that’s something you understood from the beginning, right?”
“…Yes, I did.”
“But why now…”
“I wouldn’t have said anything if the news about your relationship hadn’t been published in the newspaper a few days after you broke up with me.”
After hearing those words, Himari’s complexion became as pale as ever.
“That’s…”
“Okay, what is that?”
“……..”
“Speak without lengthening the ending!!”
Kang Haneul looked at that scene with gritted teeth, and eventually raised her voice and shouted.
“For years, I did all kinds of chores to meet your needs! I was many times more powerful than a dedicated butler or servant! Thanks to that, not a single person in the world knew that we were a couple…!”
“……..”
“But I was able to endure it because I knew your situation. It was a happy time just by being next to you!!”
“Ah…..”
“But, after you broke up with me, you and the new boyfriend you met… Admitted to your relationship within a few days?”
Himari’s eyes, which were tied to her black hands, are starting to become frightened.
“Himari. Didn’t you know my situation well, just as I knew yours well?”
“…….”
“Imagine, after losing my girlfriend in such a terrible situation, I listened to the newspaper one day to cheer myself up, and found news I didn’t want to believe.”
Kang Ha-neul comes right in front of her and whispers coldly.
“The sight of her ex-girlfriend, who had been forcing her to keep her secret relationship for the past few years, announcing with a bright expression that she was dating someone.”
“……..”
“How do you feel?”
Of course, Himari could not give any answer.
“What if that person is the one who put me in this situation?”
“Ah, ah…”
“How will you feel?”
No matter how well-versed the wise man was in the laws of the world, no one would have been able to give the right answer at that time.
“Say it!!!”
“…………”
Because there was no correct answer.
“…Well, at that time, management issues were stabilized.”
“……..”
“Oh, my goodness… I’m sorry…”
Himari, who was grabbed by the collar by Kang Ha-neul and asked for an answer, realizes the truth and belatedly begins to shed tears.
“My, I was wrong… Sky…”
“…You looked happy in that photo.”
“Oh, no! No!!”
“Are you lying about your feelings again? Himari?”
But the river sky whispers as she looks at her with eyes that do not contain the slightest sympathy.
“I think the emotional treatment was a little lacking.”
“……..”
“I should have put a little more effort into it.”
It seemed like a sarcastic tone to anyone, but Himari was able to realize it at that point.
“Ha, sky…”
Even though their relationship had reached this point, Kang Ha-neul did not say out loud that he had given up his feelings.
“Sky, I…”
“Please don’t call my name in that voice.”
Because of this, when Himari looked dumbfounded and tried to stretch her hand forward, Kang Haneul frowned and slapped her hand away.
“You’ve never called me in that voice before.”
“….Ah.”
“Now that I think about it, I’m not sure what I was different from your attachment doll.”
A self-mocking smile appears on his lips.
“No, actually, I didn’t get that much attachment. Is it just a doll?”
Himari had a blank expression upon hearing those words.
“…Oh?”
“Hmm?”
“Huh, huh!?”
She suddenly starts screaming, spitting out her blood from her mouth.
– Kkukdeukdeukdeuk…
This was because the hand of the black shadow that was grasping her body began to apply more and more force.
“Ha, sky… Ah.”
Realizing that her power would not stop until it broke her own back, Himari began to look at her river sky with a pained expression on her face.
“I… Don’t… Do it.”
A tearful voice begins to escape from her mouth, where blood is leaking out.
“Ah, from now on… I’ll do better from now on…”
“…Forward?”
“Ooh, let’s start again… Huh?”
Her exasperated sigh bursts out from the mouth of her river, Sky.
“What did you say just now?”
“Well… All the good things you’ve done for me… I’ll do the same to you…”
“……”
“Can’t we go back… To the beginning…?”
At first, it may have been just a struggle to survive.
“Do you remember the day I said I wanted to learn more about emotions with you…?”
However, Himari’s eyes were suddenly trembling, immersed in memories of her past.
“At that time… I meant what I said…”
“……..”
“I’m sorry. I was clumsy. I was so selfish. So, heaven…”
Tears began to flow endlessly from her eyes.
“Please give me one more chance…”
“…Ha.”
“Because she will be your girlfriend who only looks out for you…”
If it had been the river sky a few months ago, or even just a few weeks ago, her heart might have been shaken, or perhaps even passed over.
“…I’m sorry, but it’s not necessary.”
However, for the current Kang Ha-neul, it was something he couldn’t do even if he wanted to.
“Why…?”
“I’m already dating someone.”
“…….!”
After hearing those words, Himari’s eyes began to tremble.
“No way, no way, it’s him…?”
“What?”
“Looks a little like me… That blonde haired kid…?”
“How do you know that?”
At that moment, a chill ran down her spine. As Haneul frowned at her with an expression of displeasure, Himari hurriedly continued her words.
“Gee, is that really her? She’s taking my place?”
“…You still talk about people like that.”
“hahahaha, Sky. I’m sorry. Did I speak too harshly?”
“…….”
“But… I-I can do better. I can guarantee that…”
“What can you do?”
But when her river sky, which was still looking at her coldly, asked such a question, Himari was completely speechless.
“I…”
She lost everything in an instant and there was nothing she could do for her river Haneul.
“I…”
She knew it better than anyone else, but she couldn’t bring herself to say it out loud.
“Tell me at least one thing.”
The moment she said those words, she had an intuition that everything was coming to an end.
“Ah, from now on… Can’t we just learn about it little by little?”
For this reason, after much thought, Himari cannot overcome the pain that continues to tighten around her waist and gives such an answer.
“…Ha.”
Of course, these words did not make any sense to Kang Ha-neul.
“I heard your answer well.”
“Now, wait a minute… Wait a minute, sky…!”
As Kang Haneul, who spoke in a sardonic voice, raised her hands high in the sky, Himari, who was spitting out more blood from her mouth than before, began to shout urgently.
“No!! Please, please save me…!!!”
“…….”
“Save people!!!”
Of course, the sound never reached anyone else.
For Kang Ha-neul and his group who were struggling in the distance, and for I Se-ah, who suddenly disappeared and no one knows where she went.
– Swish…!
“aaah!!!”
The scream was clearly heard only in the ears of Kang Haneul, who was looking straight down at her ex-girlfriend.

“Ugh, huh… Haaa…”
“……..”
So, how much time has passed?
“…Oh?”
Himari closed her eyes and let out her harsh breath, but she soon began to make a bewildered expression on her face.
“…….?”
Instead of the pain that had been horribly constricting her own body, her refreshing breeze was surrounding her.
“W-what…”
She eventually realized that her voice was coming out of her own throat, albeit slightly cracked, and she opened her eyes with a puzzled expression.
“……Uh.”
She soon begins to stare at the sky, her river standing in front of her with blank eyes.
“Why? Did you think I was going to kill you right here?”
“…………”
“I tried it just in case, but it still happened.”
The river sky that stretched out her tentacles and subdued the shadow that was constricting her.
“In the end, you just thought of me as a monster until the very end.”
“……..”
“You piece of trash.”
As his ice-cold voice reached her ears, the light began to disappear from Himari’s eyes.
“Ha, sky. What I just said…”
“Listen carefully to what I say.”
Kang Ha-neul stuck his head into her ear and began to whisper in a cold voice.
“The reason I saved you is not because I particularly sympathize with you or because I still have feelings for you.”
“Then…”
“Shut up and listen.”
At his frosty whisper, Himari, who was about to say something, closed her mouth.
“It’s because I want you to live in the hell I lived too.”
“…………”
“Try living hard.”
She didn’t even have the strength left to say anything anymore.
“Sky…”
– Wiggle…!
“….?”
It was at that point that the tentacle of the river sky that was holding the black hand suddenly began to wiggle.
ofc it be like that…
