Chapter 157 – Memory (4)

Darkness…

Pitch-black darkness…

The darkness that enveloped my entire body covered both my eyes and ears, constricting me in a frustrating way.

I have struggled several times so far, but I cannot escape from the darkness that clings to me as if it were one body.

What I felt at first was fear.

Then I felt anxious.

After a long time, I now feel comfortable as if I were one body.

If I close my eyes, intoxicated by the darkness that embraces me warmly, I don’t have to think or make any effort.

Where can there be greater happiness than this?

Like a frog in boiling water…, When I realized something.

‘I’ was already dead.

How long had I been in the dark?

Someone started knocking on ‘me’ to wake me up.

In fact, at first he refused her touch.

I didn’t want to throw myself into pain and trials anymore.

It’s been a long time since I got tired of the endless fear of death and the mountain of karma.

I tried to hide deeper to avoid the hand trying to wake me…, In the end, she was grabbed by her hair and dragged away.

… Uh.

At that time, the darkness attached to my left finger suddenly fell off.

And the darkness gradually falls away from the body.

As the heavy darkness disappeared, I felt a sense of loss.

No, if you’re going to wake me up like this, why did you throw me here?

I expressed a small complaint, but the goddess did not give me an answer.

*

It is said that if you faint repeatedly, your brain cells will be damaged.

…

Looking at the strange mixture of memories, it seems certain that I am broken.

Not only was her brain-damaged, but her entire body felt like it was bruised.

As I slowly lifted my slightly trembling eyelids, a familiar room came into view.

… It’s my room.

The room was a mess, as if there had been a thief.

What happened?

My mind was so crowded that it felt like I had two brains, but I desperately tried to remember.

Promises, hickeys, graffiti, violence…

When I finally remembered that I had been beaten by Hyeon Ha-yeon like that.

The door burst open and someone entered the room.

“…”

The criminal who knocked me down. It was Hyeon Ha-yeon.

When I was momentarily taken aback by her sudden appearance, she smiled brightly and spoke quietly to me.

“… “Oppa, are you okay?”

I was very embarrassed to see Hyeon Hayeon answering her words with concern.

She was exposing her fair skin, and there were red kiss marks all over her body, and even vulgar words were written on her lower abdomen.

It was a little unstable, but it was definitely my handwriting.

When faced with something you can’t even remember, the embarrassment cannot be expressed in words.

As I was looking at her in fascination, she sat down on her bed and pushed the bottle of water she was holding.

“Would you like some drink?”

I was already feeling a suffocating thirst. The moment she unconsciously extended her hand to receive water…

She quietly avoided my hand and whispered softly.

“… No. “I will feed you.”

…

I’m not a child, and if I’m going to treat you like this, maybe I shouldn’t have hit you in the first place.

As I was quietly suppressing her rising dissatisfaction, she gently grabbed the back of my head and brought a water bottle to her mouth.

I glanced at her, swallowing a little of the water that flowed into her mouth.

She gives me water with a satisfied smile on her face.

She noticed my gaze, smiled brightly, and continued to give me water.

Gulp- Gulp-

As I was constantly swallowing water, I started to feel a little out of breath.

She said that her thirst had subsided and that it was enough, but Hyeon Hayeon still ignored me with a smile on her face.

Gulp- Gulp-

I tried to hold Hyeon Hayeon’s hand down because she was starting to get out of breath.

The moment I slowly stretched out my hand and grabbed her arm, the air in her room sank.

… Sigh.

My heart, which had been quiet, began to pound.

Hyeon Hayeon didn’t seem to like my touch, so she slightly distorted the water bottle and urged me on.

“Wow… Wow…”

She closed her throat and grabbed Hyeon Hayeon’s arm and shook it, but it did not fall from her mouth, as if she was holding on to a hard stone.

“… Drink more.”

With Hyeon Hayeon’s soft voice, the plastic bottle was buried in her mouth.

A plastic bottle that sticks in your mouth whether the water is flowing or not.

“Oof…”

Thanks to this, my throat was forced open, and I began to pass the water that had accumulated in my mouth.

After barely managing to empty all the water.

Hyeon Hayeon finally relaxed her arms and let me go.

“Puh…, Ha…, Ha…”

While I was breathing heavily.

Hyeon Ha-yeon threw the crushed plastic bottle and then started gently laying me down.

She climbed on top of me with her natural movements.

She was looking down at me and quietly spoke her words.

“… It may be a little difficult, but I will help you, so let’s do our best together.”

I didn’t really understand what she said.

… What’s happening…

At that moment, my eyes flashed with a pop sound.

“Ugh…”

The moment she grabbed the area where the shock hit her face.

Once again, a popping sound. I heard it again and again.

“Wow…, Ugh…”

How many seconds have passed? From her head to the lower body on which she sits, there is no place untouched by her hands.

Even the will to resist was broken, and my heart had already surrendered to the overwhelming violence.

Pain is also a type of stimulus. My body, accustomed to the stimulation, began to feel less pain, and I just prayed that it would end quickly.

Ironically, unlike my body that was cowering in fear, my lower body began to gain strength.

Hyeon Hayeon must have been aiming for that, shaking her buttocks and throwing her fists.

Stimulus after stimulus.

Each time she was hit, it felt like something was being cut out of her head.

…

It’s not just an expression, something has really begun to be chipped away.

If there is a thick wall in your head, it feels like you are breaking it down.

I felt a dizzying headache, but the pain in my body was stronger than the headache.

Perhaps it was because my mind was diverted while I was being beaten, but my lower body, which had used strength, suddenly died.

At that moment, the heavy air turned cold.

A sharp chill penetrates my numb body.

I trembled and slowly lowered my arms that were covering my face, and my eyes met with Hyeon Ha-yeon, who was looking down at me.

… Uh, uh…

The moment her eyes met, her heart began to pound violently as if it was broken.

Hyeon Ha-yeon’s eyes looking at me resembled the eyes of a warrior I once saw in a record of the past.

I reflexively covered her eyes to avoid her gaze, and the words of Hyeon Hayeon, who was looking at me like that, stuck in my ears.

“… “It won’t work.”

Just when I was wondering what wasn’t working.

“Keck!”

I got caught by the hair again.

An overwhelming force that immediately tightens your breathing.

I quickly grabbed Hyeon Hayeon’s arm and tried to pull her away, but she naturally suppressed her arm and then quietly spoke to me.

“… There are three more left. “Don’t get angry.”

“Keck…, Kek…”

I felt like the thick wall in my head was collapsing.

With her skillful touch, Hyeon Hayeon held her breath until she was close to death, and her instinct, sensing her death, raised her lower body.

“Kuh…, Pfft…”

I slowly lost my mind as I watched myself being eaten between her legs.

That moment…

The walls inside my head began to shake violently.

A sweet scent passed by the tip of my nose, and a rumble of thunder was heard in my ears.

I lost my mind like that.

…

…

Blah, blah…

…

Kwazijic…

…

…

“Huh… !”

When I suddenly came to my senses and opened my eyes, it was dark before my eyes.

I quickly got up and looked around, only to see that the room was dark.

The moment I slightly relaxed.

“Uhm…”

I felt a presence next to me.

I checked by the faint light coming in from the window and realized that someone was sleeping next to me.

Hyeon Ha-yeon sleeping peacefully.

The moment she faced her, all kinds of emotions swirled in her heart.

Anxiety, fear, terror, nervousness…

All are negative emotions.

The inside of my mouth must have been torn during the beating, and a fishy, ​​bloody smell was coming out of my mouth, and my upper body was throbbing as if I had bruises here and there.

Her body and mind were so exhausted that she couldn’t think of anything else.

…

Too many things have happened in just a few days that are hard to handle.

She lost her mind to an angry Lee Ji-yeon and lost her time.

Thanks to this, I was late for my appointment with Baek Ga-eun and Hyeon Ha-yeon, and I had no choice but to choose the appointment with Baek Ga-eun.

But…, No matter what Baek Ga-eun did, she was late in her appointment with Hyeon Ha-yeon, and she ended up reviving her dormant anger only because of a doodle.

… Anyway, I’m alive, so maybe it’s okay.

If this were a game where survival was the goal, you would probably be watching the ending credits.

But this is not a game.

It remains to be resolved with the angry Lee Ji-yeon, Baek Ga-eun, and Hyeon Ha-yeon.

If it’s just a simple relationship, you can throw everyone out and run away.

But…, If I don’t do something, past karma will come back.

… So what should I do now?

They say life is a series of choices, but beyond that choice, another choice came along.

…

I steeled myself, moved my creaky body, and slowly got out of bed.

Perhaps because it was an old bed, I could hear a small creaking sound of springs.

Looking at Hyeon Ha-yeon who was sleeping, I carefully approached the door, worried that she might wake up.

Step…, One step…

I turned around a few times and walked up to the door and gently grasped her handle.

I slowly turned the handle and opened the door…

… Why doesn’t it open?

Her handle was stuck and did not turn smoothly.

It seemed like the door was locked.

When I glanced back, Hyeon Hayeon was still asleep with her head turned.

The door opens by forcefully turning it all the way, so there is no major problem.

But…, When the lock was released, it was difficult to step forward because I thought Hyeon Ha-yeon might wake up.

…

I had many thoughts, but there was only one answer.

I wrapped both hands around the door handle and placed my fingers on the dented lock, trying to make as little noise as possible.

There is only one chance.

I slowly turned the handle and soon entered the blocked area. I took a deep breath and strengthened my hand.

A handle that turns slowly.

I felt like the lock would soon be released.

… Please… !

Tongue-!

The lock popped open and the sound of metal echoed in the quiet room.

I inadvertently held my breath and slowly turned my head, feeling a chill run down my spine.

…

Before I knew it, Hyeon Hayeon had turned her head and was looking at me.

…

I held the door in a hesitant position and checked Hyeon Ha-yeon’s notice without making a sound.

I narrowed my eyes and looked at her, wondering if she would wake up from my gaze.

…

Fortunately, no other movement was seen.

… Phew.

I just left the room and slowly closed the door.

“… Ha.”

I sighed loudly and quickly moved to put on the clothes I had left in the corner.

When I glanced at the clock in the living room, it was past 6 am.

… Let’s go out first.

I hurriedly headed to the front door, thinking I would just go out and see.

The sound of opening the front door was quite loud, so I didn’t know if it could be heard inside the house, so I turned off the speaker and left the house.

I felt like I could hear noises inside if I closed the door, so I left the door open and left.

As I came out into the hallway, the cool dawn air enveloped my body and revitalized me.

I was torn between the elevator and the stairs and ended up choosing the elevator.

Because my body was too tired to walk down.

As I waited blankly, the elevator that started from the basement arrived before I knew it.

Ding-

The door opened, and I got into an unoccupied elevator.

I pressed the first floor and waited for the elevator to go down.

When I looked at my face in the mirror in the elevator, the corner of my mouth was burst and covered in blood, and there were small bruises on my face.

If Ji-yeon Lee slapped her, she would have slapped her, but she didn’t leave a bruise on her face.

… It’s a mess.

I could have been angry, but my tired mind couldn’t even generate anger.

Soon the elevator started moving, and I leaned in the corner and blankly watched the floors change.

[… 5, … 4, … 3]

Since I was on the first floor, I straightened up from my leaning position.

[… 2, … One, … B1]

… Huh?

But the elevator didn’t stop.

[… B2, … B3 … B4]

A floor that goes down endlessly.

… Huh?

This apartment only exists up to the second basement level.

[… B5, … B6, … @7, … #%]

For a moment, the letters were broken, and the lights began to blink.

“W-what… !”

Startled, I inadvertently took a step back and clung to the wall, and at the same time, the elevator began to shake strongly.

Kugugu Palace-

“Aaaaah!!”

A scream came out of my hoarse throat due to the sudden situation.

Lights blinking like crazy, floor indicators sending out strange characters, and the interior shaking as if there was an earthquake.

The lights flickered, and pitch-black darkness and bright light intersected before my eyes.

At one point, a mysterious figure was seen in the middle of the elevator.

A brown haired woman slowly turning her body in the intersecting lights.

It was Lee Ji-yeon.

The moment her eyes met, her body froze.

Her actions seemed interrupted because her vision was blinking.

She slowly extends her hand

“Keuuuuu… !”

At that moment, a headache felt like it was going to break in her head.

Ji-yeon Lee, who was standing in front of her eyes wide open in pain, instantly changed into that of Ga-eun Baek.

A sweet scent that passes by the tip of your nose.

She reached out to me with her white hair hanging down.

“Keuuuuu…”

I gritted my teeth and groaned in pain, then grabbed my head.

At that moment, I heard a popping sound in my head, like exploding firecrackers, and my eyes flickered again.

The mysterious figure suddenly changed from that of Baek Ga-eun to that of Hyeon Ha-yeon.

Her eyes shine brightly even in the thick darkness.

She was reaching out to me, her black hair tied up tightly.

At that moment, a ringing sound was heard in my ears.

The sound of the elevator shaking was like thunder.

Just as Hyeon Ha-yeon’s hand was about to touch me.

I heard a rumbling sound in my head…

“Aaaaah!!!!”

I screamed desperately and lost my mind…

Ding-

[It is on the 1st floor.]

Before I knew it, the elevator had arrived at the first floor.

The lights didn’t blink like crazy, and the elevator didn’t shake.

“… Huh?”

[The door closes.]

As I was in a daze out of embarrassment, the door was about to close, so I hurriedly opened the door and got out of the elevator.

After a while, the elevator door closed and began to go up.

… What, what… ?

I sat down in the lobby on the first floor and stared blankly at the elevator.

I lost my soul as if I had seen a ghost.

After sitting blankly for a while, I calmed my startled heart and finally got up and left the building.

As I left the lobby, the cold morning air welcomed me.

I was just about to leave the complex in a dazed state. A refreshing breeze passed by my face.

A cool breeze blows as if clearing away the fallen leaves.

At that moment, a memory of unknown origin suddenly came to mind.

… Huh?

A vivid memory, as if it were something I had experienced…
