205 – Punish me
“brother!”
Na-sun, who speaks pleasantly towards me.
And then… Watching Seo Ji-yoon approaching right behind her, I started to feel more wary.
‘Standing in the back like that… is it to make you a hostage in case of emergency? Or something else…’
To be honest, Seo Ji-yoon’s identity has not yet been clearly identified, but when the situation turned out like this, I felt that every single one of her actions was simply suspicious.
It’s not that I don’t think it could be speculation, but it’s probably natural to think that something will happen in a situation where there is an ambush this tight.
Right after I came close to where I was standing…
Na-sun said while looking at Seo Ji-yoon, who was standing crouching behind her.
“Come on, let’s go. You said you had something to say.”
“… ”
Seo Ji-yoon seems to be showing a very nervous reaction just by looking at it.
Seeing her as if she literally had an ulterior motive, I started to get even more nervous.
On the other hand, in response to her attitude, Na Seon held her hand and said, feeling like a mother comforting her child.
“it’s okay. Don’t worry, go and do what you want to do.”
“..yes”
I’m not sure what exactly you want to do. Regarding this, Na-sun does not seem to be very wary.
About that fact, I couldn’t help but click my tongue a little at her frailty.
‘No matter what they do, it’s because they’re old friends after all.. I’m sure they’re in a position where I can only be relatively less suspicious.’
While thinking about that, my gaze was soon fixed on Seo Ji-yoon, who was slowly approaching this direction.
It’s a matter of course, but if she comes closer than a certain distance, or if she radiates a sign of killing, the hunters are supposed to attack immediately.
To this I kept a sharp tension towards her,
Whether or not he knew my situation, Seo Ji-yoon just started approaching me without feeling anything.
And finally, Seo Ji-yoon stops at a place where the distance with me is thought to have narrowed to some extent.
If I had come just a few steps closer from here, since it was within the attack range, I would probably have pulled back a little from me or the hunters would have applied sanctions, but it just barely happened.
Seo Ji-yoon looking at me in silence for a while.
Even at a glance, she’s showing an unusual feeling.
Regarding this, I also started to pull the strings of tension, and this would be the same for the hunters watching this situation at this moment.
‘Are you really here to attack me? But something feels different from that…’
I felt the reaction was overly simplistic for a simple attack.
Especially from my point of view, knowing the basic fighting patterns ingrained in her body, it was highly likely that this figure was not intended to attack anyone.
Of course, as his personality has changed, his fighting style may have changed as well, but…
So, while observing the situation calmly,
At the same time, I swallowed dry saliva slightly inaudibly as I prepared to deal with whatever attack she came in.
That moment..
– Hair stone!
“yes?”
The next moment, Seo Ji-yoon kneeling in front of me.
Seeing this, I put on a blank expression for a moment, and at the same time, she bowed to me while bowing her head.
“… What.. what..?”
I show embarrassment in an incomprehensible situation,
And, with me in front of her, she…
Something inside Seo Ji-yoon’s being…
He said to me in a voice full of guilt.
“..sorry… I do.. really.. really wrong.. did it.. Jinhyun Lee..”
“What?”
Seo Ji-yoon starts pouring out words of apology to me in a voice mixed with crying.
I started to feel embarrassed by her sudden apology…
Seeing me like that, Seo Ji-yoon shed tears and started pouring out words without hesitation.
“please… I really wanted to! this… say… About the sins I will commit! I really wanted to talk! For the past 4 years… I, Seo Ji-yoon, have done so many things that Lee Jin-hyun can’t forgive. As a human being, I have done unforgivable things countless times. just… . I just… thought it wouldn’t matter if I did that… I thought you, a kind human being, were so lighthearted… that even a beast like that had a heart and committed countless evil deeds!”
Seo Ji-yoon shouts with a voice as if vomiting blood and almost cries.
Regarding this, I had no choice but to remain silent for a while with a surprised expression on my face, and Seo Ji-yoon continued to shout while banging her head on the floor until her forehead was bleeding.
“Please punish me! In return for the evil I have done to you, you can hack and torture me to your heart’s content… until your anger is resolved! You can cut off your arms and legs and f*ck them until they’re a mess! You can cut my throat and take my life if need be! Please.. please make me pay the price I deserve for something less than this beast!”
Seo Ji-yoon pleads for punishment while making a string of horrifying sounds just by listening.
Seeing her shocked appearance, I couldn’t decide what to answer for a while.
‘What is this… I thought there would be some kind of trap, so I came prepared thoroughly, but to receive an apology like this…’
Of course, considering what Seo Ji-yoon did to me, it was on a level that was absolutely not inferior to other bitches.
However, knowing that the person responsible had already died, I decided not to concern myself with the matter any longer.
It was because the woman in front of me had always thought of it as a different being with Seo Ji-yoon’s body.
But regardless of my thoughts, she was apologizing to me.
No… To be precise, I was asking for punishment.
that he would pay the price for his sins.
body and mind…
I would give my life if need be.
And this fact was frankly embarrassing from the standpoint of being the party involved, and at the same time, it naturally made me think of a question.
“… Why.. are you doing this?”
At my question, Seo Ji-yoon looks up with tears in her eyes.
The sincerity, sadness, and guilt contained in it…
From my point of view, knowing that she was a different existence from the Seo Ji-yoon I knew, it made me question.
and..
looking at me like that
Seo Ji-yoon spoke to me in a voice full of deep sadness.
“I’m… I was born for it.”
“!…”
“The existence of me… For that… Lee Jin-Hyeon-nim, it’s because I’m a personality created to atone for you.”
Her words are sincere.
Seo Ji-yoon then began to bow her head to the floor again.
Seeing her like this, a feeling of surprise began to settle on my face.
Although I can’t exactly explain…
I could vaguely understand what she meant.
‘Seo Ji-yoon’s guilt.. did you mean that it fell off and formed a personality and remained in this body?.. I don’t know how that could be possible…’
To be honest, I had doubts from the fact that Seo Ji-yoon had feelings of sorry for me.
However, seeing her in front of my eyes at this moment, I couldn’t help but believe it.
Get down on your knees and beg…
Looking at her sincere longing for punishment…
I really… came to recognize that she was born out of Seo Ji-yoon’s guilt.
And after thinking that far,
I’ve come to realize that now I have to make a judgment call.
About what to do with this ‘Seo Ji-yoon’ in front of me.
