Episode 5

The corners of the homeroom teacher’s mouth went up.

“I guess we’re really meant to be. Right?”

That’s why.

Psychopath doctor bastard.

Heo Cheol-tae.

Someday I will kill you.

Teacher, get away from that psychopath.

“Thank you. You’ve given me a fresh start, teacher.”

He meant it.

That day, a post-it note with Heo Cheol-tae’s name written on it was stuck on the wall, and a red thread was drawn.

“God exists. I never thought life would turn out like this.”

Is it because of the desire for revenge?

We’re back in the last days when you could start a new life just by studying hard, and here we are, seizing this golden opportunity for revenge.

“If I follow the red thread, I will be able to meet you all. I will kill you one by one according to the law. Please don’t be discouraged and continue living as you always have.”

* * *

The college entrance exam is over.

You can tell even without grading.

I will definitely go to Korea University Law School.

Two abilities I gained.

The desire for revenge dominates me even more.

With that alone, you can do anything.

As promised with my homeroom teacher, I went out to exit 5 of Yeoksam Station.

“Ji-hyuk.”

A luxury foreign car pulled up in front of me, accompanied by a voice calling my name.

“Get in the back seat. I made you some LA ribs.”

The homeroom teacher smiled.

“Your husband is waiting for you too. He didn’t even go to his favorite kendo class today.”

Are you learning kendo to be good at using a sword?

〈The mission this time is to establish a relationship with Heo Cheol-tae.〉

The guide in my head whispered.

You want to create a relationship where we can continue to see each other, not as enemies?

“What is the reward if I succeed?”

The guide suggested what he wanted.

〈If the mission is successful, I will give you quick eyes.〉

I like it.

You will be able to view data quickly and understand the situation faster······.

Ironically, Heo Cheol-tae’s house, where we arrived, was surrounded by a red sunset.

It’s so damn beautiful.

I went into the house and sat down at the table.

“That smart student who wants to go to Korea University Law School?”

Here’s the son of a bitch shaking a bottle of blue medicine at me.

“Brother, you need a doctor to raise? He’s a really good student.”

“I’ve heard a lot about it. It’s called Monopoly.”

Exclusive?

Yeah, that’s right.

I heard the story correctly.

That was my nickname when I was a detective.

Because I’m going to chop you up and kill you for the rest of my life.

Kwak.

I shook hands with him.

These may be the hands that have killed, or will kill, several people on the operating table.

“This is Kang Ji-hyeok.”

“That’s a familiar name.”

Don’t forget.

Because it’s the name of the person who will one day cut off your neck.

Never forget that, you son of a bitch.

“Shall we talk while eating LA ribs?”

It’s disgusting.

The devil who kills those who have entrusted their bodies to him with faith for fun is laughing like that?

X foot.

I couldn’t taste anything.

“I mean, I want to have a pretty daughter. We can go to the park together, holding hands…”

On the topic of murderous psychopaths.

Do you dare to dream such a dream?

My fists tightened in anger and my nails dug into the palms of my hands.

Gulp.

Red blood flowed down.

“What’s wrong, Jihyuk?”

Both of them have surprised faces.

Other emotions can be suppressed.

But ‘anger’ is an emotion that is more difficult to hide than any other emotion.

Fuck.

What a shameful thing to do, not being able to overcome even one emotion······.

〈Kang Ji-hyeok. I hope you don’t fail your mission.〉

The guide warned.

What happens if I fail?

The abilities he gives me are precious to me.

Insight kicked in and the anger subsided.

“I was sad. Those pretty kids might disappear or die. That thought just came to me…”

“Honey, high school seniors sometimes do that. They get stressed out from studying. Jihyuk in particular studied like crazy for a year.”

“Oh. Really? Are you lecturing in front of the doctor right now? You’re a teacher?”

“Honey, it’s not like that.”

The homeroom teacher is in a difficult position.

Heo Cheol-tae’s eyes are filled with interest.

These are the eyes.

Those eyes that were delighted at the sight of blood.

He looks over at me as I wipe the blood flowing from my injured palm.

Don’t look down on me with those eyes.

Turn your head before I stick a fork in your eye.

“Then I guess we should change the subject.”

I can feel the eyes looking at me through the red wine.

closely.

I grabbed the fork I was holding.

‘Should I just shove that kid’s white neck in there?’

Sigh.

As I stuck the fork into his throat, a scene came to mind of blood gushing out like wine.

Just imagining it was an incredibly thrilling feeling.

〈Now is the time to carry out the mission. Revenge must be taken after all conditions are created.〉

The guide’s advice is not wrong.

Once they all meet and form one organization, that’s when they’ll have their chance for revenge!

They are still just leftovers.

When it gets bigger!

I had to wait for that moment.

“I heard you’re going to the law school. Are you dreaming of becoming a prosecutor? a judge? or a lawyer who makes a lot of money?”

“I want to be a prosecutor.”

“Inspector······.”

He muttered as if he was complaining.

He seemed disappointed with the answer that he wanted to become a prosecutor.

“Why a prosecutor? If you dream of becoming a lawyer, I can help you. Our hospital also needs excellent lawyers.”

A fancy kingdom would need a lawyer for a murderer.

범죄를 법적으로 잘 덮어 줄 그런 개새끼가······.

“I hate kids who do bad things. That’s why I’m going to become a prosecutor.”

Dalgrak.

Heo Cheol-tae places a wine glass on the table.

Then he puts both hands on his chin and looks at me as if he finds it funny.

“Interesting. Is it because he’s still young? I don’t know if prosecutors do things like that······.”

“To show you how scary the law is······.”

Listen carefully, Heo Cheol-tae.

This is a warning to you.

“Well, there’s nothing as scary as the law. If it’s enforced properly······.”

It’s a cold voice.

How many years have you been a detective······.

You can tell just by looking at it that it’s a forced action.

One time, a criminal bastard cried and asked me to look after his children.

I trusted him and gave him a week to think about it.

But after seeing a man being caught beating his own child to death, I don’t trust the criminal himself.

Criminal seeds are born that way.

Just living with a mask on······.

The problem is that that son of a bitch was born into a good family and is also smart······.

For a psychopath who enjoyed the smell of blood like perfume and wanted to tear human flesh, the worst thing was having a tool called a ‘scalpel’ in his hands.

“But can a prosecutor kill a murderer? Legally, a prosecutor can sentence a murderer to a few years.”

Yeah, you’re right.

The tests you know will end at that level.

I will be different.

I will definitely show you.

“If I quit being a prosecutor and work with you as a lawyer, you’ll treat me really well, right?”

He smiled as if he found it funny.

Then, wearing a peaceful mask, he spoke in a warm voice.

“I respect your will to uphold justice. If you are a prosecutor of that caliber, you deserve the best treatment in the industry.”

I was sincere.

I remember that distinctive, cold voice well.

I looked him in the eye.

“I have a favor to ask.”

“I’ll listen to anything as long as it doesn’t cost a lot of money.”

I don’t know if you can call this a joke.

He stared at him sharply, trying to remember every single mole on the son of a bitch’s face from his youth.

“If I become a prosecutor, please become a medical case specialist advisor so that I can catch the psychopaths hiding among doctors. I am a layman when it comes to medical practice.”

How is it?

This is a difficult proposition to back out of, isn’t it?

〈He’s thinking about the proposal. I think he’s more than 70% capable of completing the mission.〉

Although it was only for a very short time, Heo Cheol-tae’s eyebrows moved.

“You’ve had medical accidents before, so I think you’d know better.”

I smiled at him.

Why?

Because we’ve already won.

I saw a hot light emanating from his eyes.

A look of anger!

Hearing this story from Aesong, her eyes are prickly.

Heo Cheol-tae stroked his reddened face with his hand and stood up.

“I feel hot after drinking wine. I think I should go up and rest for a while. I will accept that suggestion positively.”

As if he knows everything in the world.

Tell me with eyes that look down on me and want to teach me.

Don’t run away.

“I will pass the exam in one go and show you my abilities.”

Once again, he made the inevitable offer.

Heo Cheol-tae stopped and looked back with a sharp smile.

“I like it a little now. Alright. If you need anything, let me know. I’ll help you.”

〈Mission accomplished. He has decided to continue the relationship. As a reward, I will give you quick eyes.〉

My homeroom teacher walked me all the way to the exit door.

His expression wasn’t very good.

“I don’t feel well, maybe because of the wine. Be careful on the way back.”

Your head must be hurting thinking about the pain your husband will cause you from now on.

There’s nothing I can do right now.

But I will punish that kid by the law.

I’m sorry, teacher.

bang.

As I stepped outside, the large steel door closed.

The teacher, whose face was somewhat anxious, seemed out of his mind.

“It was really nice meeting you, you son of a bitch.”

You won’t need a lawyer.

Because whoever comes will be defeated before the law.

You psychopath bastard.

* * *

Monday morning.

The homeroom teacher came wearing sunglasses.

“I have an eye infection. So don’t come near me.”

There are tiny purple bruises on the tops of the fingernails. Two of the nails that used to have dark manicure are gone.

I wonder if she was tortured by her husband?

If you forcibly pull out a woman’s fingernails with something like pliers, scars like those will form.

Now I know why in my previous life you beat and tormented me for a year because of a dirty magazine you found in my bag during class time.

“She saw her own husband in me. That’s why she treated me like trash.”

The mystery of my past life has been solved.

Heo Cheol-tae and my homeroom teacher were connected to me in a previous life too!

Now the thread is beginning to unravel.

I came home, stuck a post-it note with the guy’s name on it on one side of the wall, and just stared at it.

“I held out really well today.”

On the opposite side of the red thread, there was a post-it note with the words ‘Homeroom Teacher’ written on it.

“I won’t forget.”

I look at the wound on my palm.

A deep, lacerated wound.

“I will never forget. How I felt back then!”

* * *

I was accepted to Korea University’s law school.

– Congratulations, son. Things seem to be going well here. You’ve bought and sold a few houses.

“Don’t sell it, but save it if you can. Go to Hangzhou next door and buy a few apartments in the city. I heard you’ll hit the jackpot there later. It’s our history.”

– Really? Haha. Your history teacher is really smart. Aren’t you?

My parents were increasing their real estate assets in Shanghai.

– But son.

“Why, Mom?”

– Why do you want to go to law school? I heard doctors make a lot more money.

“To catch those bad kids.”

– Oh my. Our son is cool. I think that’s much cooler than making a lot of money.

My mom said it was cool.

I’m glad I have a wonderful mom who doesn’t think money is everything.

* * *

Even after entering university, I studied and studied until I died.

The sun went down as several cherry blossoms bloomed and fell.

Towards the end of the prosecutor’s hiring process, I got a call at home.

– Sehee, this is your father. Come to my house in the evening.

So evening came and I went over to Sehee’s house.

Four people had dinner together.

It was a familiar yet burdensome position.

“Eat this, Jihyuk.”

“Oh. Okay.”

Sehee’s father didn’t say much, unlike in the past.

After dinner, my mother-in-law served coffee.

No, to be exact, Sehee’s mother would be the right word, right?

“Take this, Jihyuk. This is a gift from us.”

White envelope.

The thick envelope contained one million won.

“Prosecutor Kang! The congratulatory money is a bit late.”

I took the envelope without saying anything.

In the past, my father-in-law used to look down on me.

“I haven’t finished my employment yet, but since you’ve given me this, I’ll use it well.”

“Ji-hyuk will make a good prosecutor.”

Prosecutor Lee Cheol-jung was against Se-hee’s marriage until the very end.

He used to be like that, but now he even gives congratulatory money.

This life is definitely changing.

“It won’t be easy, but is it possible?”

“It will definitely happen.”

“Yeah. It’s good that you have spirit.”

I looked at him and said seriously.

“I ask that you take good care of me when I become a prosecutor. Prosecutor Lee Cheol-jung.”

“You were shy when you were young, but you’ve changed a lot.”

I answered Prosecutor Lee Cheol-jung’s words in my heart.

‘I will change with all my might. I can’t fight against demons with a petty mind.’
