054 – Rat Poison That Will Kill You #2

On the night of the full moon, it was true that Seo Ga-eul’s mood had been lifted from the rare outing.

The past few days had been filled with so many enjoyable things that it would be fair to say she was a bit giddy, floating above the usual weight of things.

She had trapped Yu Yeoreum in the basement, where she could torment and belittle her at will.

Seo Ga-eul was now fully convinced that the boy who had kidnapped both her and Yu Yeoreum was no ordinary person, and on some level, she even felt a sense of curiosity.

‘Isn’t it wonderful that I can manipulate Han Nam-jin however I want? Who should I tell him to kidnap next? No, maybe I’ll have him do something else. Drown some annoying b*stards, maybe.’

Seo Ga-eul’s feelings for Han Nam-jin were closer to the joy of discovering a particularly sharp knife than to the pure affection of a first love.

Many men had flattered Seo Ga-eul in the past, acting like they could fetch her the stars, but none of them had been able to actually deliver.

But with Han Nam-jin, she felt it might actually be possible.

It meant he was suited to be a capable servant.

A servant and a master.

If that kind of relationship was acceptable, Seo Ga-eul could have started a special relationship with Han Nam-jin. But her thoughts shattered into pieces with what had just happened.

“You b*stard! Crazy b*stard! I’m really going to kill you! You fucking psycho! Perverted freak! Psychopath!”

Back in the basement, Seo Ga-eul cursed the boy with every insult she knew.

It was because of the video taken in the abandoned factory.

“Whip of love!”

Smack! Seo Ga-eul jumped up like a beast shot by a gun after being hit on the thigh with a fly swatter.

“Guuyaak!”

Seo Ga-eul fell over with a truly disgraceful scream, crashing down with a thud.

The male student mercilessly struck Seo Ga-eul’s thigh, calf, and the soles of her feet with the fly swatter.

Smack! Smack! Smack-smack-smack!

“Hey, you crazy b*stard!” “You son of a b*tch!”

“Whip of love!”

Slap, slap-!

The threads of her stockings tore, and Seo Ga-eul screamed like a mad person, but the male student only wore a solemn expression, as if this act were some kind of noble endeavor.

Just moments ago, Seo Ga-eul had thought she could perfectly control this male student, but in reality, she could not at all.

‘This guy is just a crazy b*stard!’

Seo Ga-eul’s speculations and hypotheses about the male student were discarded. The male student before her was like a rugby ball, a monster whose direction was unpredictable.

“Ahhh! Damn it! “So annoying!”

Seo Ga-eul screamed and thrashed about as if possessed by a terrible ghost. She thought about just ending this ridiculous play and ending all of this relationship as well.

‘What if I just escape!?’

But today happened to be a full moon.

Seo Ga-eul had no strength to break the chains binding her hands.

“Ga-eul, you should use pretty words. “I have the duty to raise you as an idol of the people.”

“Fuck off!”

Seo Ga-eul was resolute.

She would rather break than bend; she hated that more than death.

“Do you think you can tame me? That will never happen! Hold onto me for a thousand years, ten thousand years! “Can you control me as you wish?”

Seo Ga-eul spat out words as sharp as thorns at the male student. But it seemed that no words could hurt him.

It was as if he heard one ear and let it out the other.

“You son of a b*tch!”

Seo Ga-eul, increasingly frustrated and her head boiling, felt her eyes turn red with the stubbornness and anger of not wanting to lose to the male student before her.

So now, she completely shut her mouth.

*Smack, smack—!*

Though his pride was chipped away with every strike of the fly swatter, he didn’t let out even the smallest scream.

Whether that was the right move or not, the boy stopped recording with his phone and tucked it away.

“Alright, now let’s change clothes and go take a shower.”

“…What? Are you seriously saying that now?”

The boy’s attitude changed as easily as flipping a palm, and Seoguel couldn’t hold himself back any longer.

She was also angry at herself for breaking the vow she had made to remain silent.

“Hanjin Han, I really hate you. Stockholm Syndrome? Fuck that. There’s no way I’ll ever end up liking you. I really want to see you die miserably. Seriously.”

“It’s fine. I’m not doing this to get your love. All I want is ‘softness.’ And it doesn’t matter if you hate me. That’s what matters.”

Some time passed like this—

Yuyureum glanced at Seoguel as she entered the basement.

‘What kind of words will she use to scratch me this time?’

But Seoguel remained silent ever since she came back down to the basement.

Occasionally, Yuyureum could hear her breathing heavily, so it was clear she was fuming with anger.

Yuyureum observed Seoguel’s appearance.

Her hair was neat, and her white clothes looked freshly changed, almost like new.

She smelled good too.

From noble mtl dot com

Having used the boy’s bathroom earlier, Yuyureum quickly recognized that it was the scent of shampoo and body wash.

She’d taken a bath right after the walk, so why was she still so upset?

‘Did something perverted happen to her?’

Yuyureum thought for a moment that the boy, unable to control his desires, might have laid hands on Seoguel.

It seemed like a plausible theory.

In the adult films Yuyureum had recently watched, men were often depicted as embodiments of raw desire.

“Aah, you b*stard!”

At that moment, Seoguel suddenly jumped to her feet.

She began pacing back and forth, throwing punches and kicks at the air, eventually showing tears on her flushed face.

‘Is Seoul crying?’

It didn’t seem like tears from sadness.

She was probably so angry that she didn’t know how else to express it.

Watching her, Yuyureum couldn’t help but feel a brief moment of sympathy. Seoguel was beautiful even by a woman’s standards, and her tears stirred something in the heart of anyone who saw them.

But Yoo Yeoreum soon felt ridiculous when she remembered that she was suffering in this place because of Seo Gaeul.

It was what they call poetic justice.

Laughing at Seo Gaeul didn’t improve Yoo Yeoreum’s situation, but strangely, watching Seo Gaeul suffered brought a peculiar thrill that wriggled inside Yoo Yeoreum.

And at this moment, she realized.

‘If I use Han Namjin, I can make Seo Gaeul suffer even more.’

On the other hand, she felt a surprising sensation.

Yoo Yeoreum clearly remembered how Seo Gaeul had been treated by the boys in their class, F.

Not only the students but even the teachers were eager to show kindness and goodwill to Seo Gaeul.

‘I thought Han Namjin would be the same.’

Han Namjin, the perverted criminal who kidnapped her just because Seo Gaeul asked him to. She thought he would do anything for Seo Gaeul, but it didn’t seem to be the case.

At this moment, all the relationships in Yoo Yeoreum’s mind were redefined.

She thought Seo Gaeul was at the top of this basement, but in fact, the highest position in this basement was held by the boy Han Namjin, with herself and Seo Gaeul below him.

With that thought, Yoo Yeoreum’s mind felt clear as if she had found a definite answer.

And Seo Gaeul.

She imagined how she could repay the humiliation she experienced today.

‘Should I break the chains and leave as soon as the full moon sets? Or just report to the police?’

Seo Gaeul had the ability to escape this basement on her own.

But if she reported Han Namjin, Yoo Yeoreum, who was also trapped, would be found by the police and released as well.

Thinking about this made Seo Gaeul extremely annoyed.

‘If only Yoo Yeoreum wasn’t here!’

She hated the idea of ​​Yoo Yeoreum being released more than seeing Han Namjin sleep peacefully.

Therefore, Seo Gaeul had to stay in this basement for a while longer.

“Shall I check the internet news?”

Morning.

When she turned on the internet and searched for “Seo Gaeul,” it was a mess.

It was thanks to the edited video she anonymously posted last night.

“A video of Seo Gaeul from the Seonam Group has been released!”

“The police and S Group have started an investigation to verify the facts─.”

“What are the three negotiation conditions demanded by the kidnapper?”

“Looks like rat poison that’s just right for eating and dying.”

I wanted to bring a change to the “Seo Ga-eul Disappearance Case,” which had started to quiet down due to many events in the past few days.

By releasing a video of Seo Ga-eul to the world, I would bring back the momentum.

“The kidnapper’s three demands are as follows.”

“1. Disclose the transaction details with Villainers.”

“2. Release the new product ‘Zero Cola Fresh’ this week.”

“3. Change all beverage products to glass bottles.”

Even I thought these demands were outrageous.

After the world ended, I happened to find and drink “Zero Cola Fresh,” and it was so delicious that I thought I would cry.

The problem was that the product was released about a month before the end of the world, so there was a limited supply.

If we release it in advance now, we can drink plenty of it before the end of the world, right?

“Hehe, all the cola b*stards are dead.”

If all colas were changed to glass bottles, the supply of ‘bottle caps’ would also increase significantly. It would be like killing two birds with one stone.

Even General Guan Yu, who went to the water park, wouldn’t have been able to present such excellent negotiation conditions.

“Father-in-law Seo Do-cheol, can you endure without taking this medicine?”

One thing I knew for sure from our last meeting was that Seo Do-cheol honestly cared for his daughter, Seo Ga-eul.

That man would do anything for his daughter.

“Can you swallow rat poison for your beloved daughter?”

With that thought, I headed to the nearby police station, where everyone was busy and bustling early in the morning.

Among them, Jin Ramen Noona spotted me and raised her hand.

“Brother! Over here! Here! You made it to work on time! Ah, geez, what’s all this commotion in the morning?”

“Jin Ramen Noona, what’s going on?”

“Didn’t you watch the morning news? It’s because of Seo Ga-eul’s kidnapper! This crazy b*stard! Whoever it is, they’re openly provoking us, right? But they made a big mistake. The kidnapper left a big trace. “

Left a trace? Did I reveal too much about my love for cola?

Jin Ramen Noona, who couldn’t hide anything when she was slightly nervous, spilled everything first.

“Zero Cola Fresh. This is a product that hasn’t been released yet, known only to deep insiders of Seonam. So, the likelihood of an insider being involved in Seo Ga-eul’s kidnapping is high.”

“An insider?”

“A familiar face. If Seo Ga-eul followed without suspicion and got into trouble, it must have been done by someone well-versed in Seonam Group.”

Saying that, Jin Ramen Noona was replaying the video on the computer.

The scene where Seo Ga-eul was hit with a fly swatter was silent without audio.

“Although you look a bit thin, you seem to be in good health. Anyway, little brother, the midterm exam will be conducted by our ‘Special Investigation Team of Youngsa High School.’ Got it?”

Finding the missing Yoo Yeoreum and Seo Gaeul.

That was the midterm exam evaluation item given to me.

“Now, we’re going to meet Chairman Seo Do-cheol of Seonam, so don’t do anything strange or cause any trouble. This sister will take care of everything, so just stay still.”

Meeting Seo Do-cheol again already?

I nodded quietly because I was curious about how he would react to the poison he was about to take.
