조심해 | Be Careful

I don’t know why this is, everything in the world is like the knowledge of good and evil. Get out of the way. Even if it's obvious that I'll be punished, I want something more thrilling, bring it to me.

◖⁠⚆⁠ᴥ⁠⚆⁠◗

It's horrible... My head hurts!!

"It's all your fault, I didn't plan to kill you like this. It's neither fun nor graceful, but it doesn't matter."

He was confused when I suddenly started laughing in between the pain...

"I've been waiting... for you to use infrasound."

"You're waiting for me to do that? Why? Why? Why? I don't get it. I don't get it."

"Because they are even more sensitive and in more pain than me..."

"Who? Dogs?"

"Correct! They've been waiting!" I opened the gate and more than three wild dogs ran towards him.

They'll attack the source of infrasound! Until the threat is neutralized..

Soon the place was filled with painful screams of Kai. Those dogs might have killed him but the owner of the restricted area heard and came to control them.

"You're interesting, Nuna! I wish I could have a scalpel and see what's inside you. You're so interesting, you changed the lyrics." That kid said as he came up to me.

"Saying something like that with an innocent face? What sort of poor taste is this...."

Soon everything started getting blurry and the next thing I remember is I blacked out.

I opened my eyes just to find myself laying on the hospital bed with a fractured hand.

I heard some footsteps coming towards my bed.

"AHH.... KAI!!!"

"You're awake?" I'm saved. It wasn't Kai but that rude inspector.

"It's you..." I took a deep breath before looking at my injured hand.

"Your face doesn't look any better than your friend's though." He commented and passed me a cup of coffee.

I thanked him before asking a question "That.... Kai..... Is he.... Dead?"

"He's still alive but badly injured. The dog bit seven of his fingers. He probably cannot touch a phone for some months. We also confiscated his phone and kept it under tight security." He answered while walking back and forth in the room.

"Though he did murder someone, he's not the one who we've been searching for. But we made another big discovery too. The attack on you might have something to do with the creator of this game." He revealed after thinking a bit.

The game's creator?

FLASHBACK

2 Months Ago

[Kai Pov]

He claims to be the creator of “Mate 2.0”... he's the one who gave me this ability... he asked me to meet him here..

"Is the game fun?" The guy was wearing all black clothes. I couldn't see his face clearly but I guess he's the game's creator who called me here.

"You're not here just for a user satisfaction survey, are you?" I asked him back.

"Smart, as expected from the person I chose. To be honest, I'm here to take back the ability." He added while crossing his arms.

"Take it back? Like I'll just let you. It's the ability of my dreams. I'm the only one worthy of it. I'm on the list of the top 10 players, so why-" I was interrupted by him, who gave me a glare and laughed before speaking further. "I can take it back just as easily as I'm able to give it to you. So I'm the one who makes the rules here, don't you be mistaken. I can let you keep it however."

"How much money do you want?"

"I don't need money, but I have something that I need you to do for me... the person is called Min Dasom, a soon to be player of Mate 2.0 just like you. I'll let you keep the ability if you kill her." He chuckled as he saw my shocked face.

I don't get it. Why does he want her dead?

"Remember, this is a game. Only the victors are worthy of keeping their abilities. The losers should be destroyed like a bug." He spoke and drove away from the dark street.

BACK TO PRESENT

I made an excuse and we shifted to Seoul. I transferred to the same school as her to make my plan work out. Although I planned to kill her, I soon changed my mind but it didn't long well.

The mysterious creator of the game threatened to kill Bahiyyih and when he really did hurt her... I couldn't stop even if I wanted to. I had to do it to save Bahiyyih, it wasn't right to do so...

I'm sorry....

[Dasom Pov]

Damn it! That creator is treating human lives like it's a game.

But again, why is this inspector giving me so much information? That isn't his style.

"I have a feeling that crimes using phone abilities are going to ramp up. And I doubt the normal policeman will be able to deal with it. I admit I was viewing you too much like a child. But after seeing your battle with Kai, I changed my mind. I'll be needing your abilities. As well as those of your friends."

Ability......?
