❝Care to tell me, Sir?❞ She tries hard to let out a warm voice to comfort the man.
❝Yeah.. well, I have a problem... it's just that...❞ He is having trouble expressing it, and it is completely reasonable for Soohyeon to wait for him.
❝It's alright, Sir. What is it?❞ With an affectionate tone, she asks him once more.
❝I... I'm currently holding a knife, and having second thoughts...❞ His tone is subdued.
With her eyes widening, Soohyeon is clearly ready to inform the authority. But his next sentence prevents her from making the call.
❝Sir, whatever you are thinking, please don't stab anyone. Put the knife down, please.❞ She assuringly says, fingers almost touching the emergency call when he suddenly says,
❝I'm all alone... though❞
His tone of speech deepens in sadness once more.
Silence fills the line.
Soohyeon subconsciously yells at herself, ❝ I didn't sign up as a suicide hotline caller,❞ but she decides to do anything she can to prevent the man from taking his own life.
❝S... Sir. Please drop the knife, and put it somewhere far from you. Please don't end your life. You are uhh.❞ She has trouble coming up with encouraging words to say to him.
Soohyeon frantically types, '10 POSITIVE QUOTES FOR SUICIDAL PEOPLE,' into the search bar.
A keyboard's rattling can be heard along the line. And at last, It's about time that she comes upon a good quote.
❝P.. Put your hand on your heart, can you feel it?? That is called purpos— Wait no fu— you're holding a knife, Damn it.❞ While reading back the following line, she frantically bit her lower lip.
❝You... You are important. Your feelings matter. Your story matters. Your life matters. So please, don't waste your life...
...Sir❞
Soohyeon eventually lets it out, surprisingly though, she came up with that last sentence all on her own.
At the very least, she would like him to see a reason to stop his intentions to himself.
Instead, Soohyeon hears uncontrollable laughter on the other end of the line and starts to question herself.
❝Thank you for the great speech. Nice effort too. Well. The thing is, I was having second thoughts if I should cut this well—made cake or not. It looks So Tasty, Yet so perfectly moulded that I—❞
