Many days passed, but everything remained the same. Sunoo was sitting on a chair in the kitchen. And then he heard the familiar sound again.
strumming my pain with his fingers,singing my life with his words, killing me softly with his song, killing me softly with his song.
Sunoo mumbled about it to himself. "This song.. Have I heard it before?.. I don't remember. And whenever I hear this music.. He's here... The door swings open.. and his big hand grabs my wrist to lift me up. He makes me crawl and clean up. And at the end of the day we have dinner together. Although I eat on the floor. On a small worn table. I'm not even allowed to look up. This atmosphere is simply terrifying. But Sunghoon doesn't do anything at all... But I could tell... It's not that he didn't do anything, he was just waiting for me to make a mistake. As if he needed to punish me... He needs to get mad at someone. This look speaks for itself. As soon as he notices something... He won't hesitate to hurt me. Because it happened so often.. I completely lost my sense of date and time.. That's not important... What matters is what kind of mood Sunghoon is in today... That's all I'm worried about... Although I've already started to get used to it... Fearing for his life.."
He was washing the dishes and worried about today when he heard something and turned his head to look back. "Radio...? No... not the radio..." - He tries to get up from his chair to look for an unknown sound source. It was a welcoming sound. The sound of everyday life. And it was coming right outside the door, the voices of people. There are people outside. It sounded so painful and obvious.
Sunoo hold onto the wall to keep from falling and got to his feet, despite the hellish pain, there was despair in his eyes, a desire to escape, to escape as far as possible from his hell and never come back here ever again. He feels like he's suffocating. "Sunghoon is still down there..." he muttered that, his heart was pounding like crazy.
"If it's only that far..." Sunoo froze, staring at the door with hope in his eyes. "5? No, 7 seconds? Is that all it takes?. It will take Sunghoon at least 5 seconds to hear the sound and get up! And I'll be at the door by then. And I will ask people for help... It's possible, isn't it?.." Sunoo asks himself a question. "I'll just check again.. This is my only chance.. I have to!!" He muttered and crawled towards the door, almost leaning on a chair. "The frame? He will definitely hear me if I pass by. Since you can even hear... footsteps downstairs." "Damn it, aaaaa!" He groaned and grabbed the wall.
"I was passing by this insignificant thing... Hundreds, no, thousands of times.. but now I feel like I'm in a cage..." he fell to his knees. "So what?.. It's now or never.. I want to go back..."
Sunoo sighs and somehow crawls back to the kitchen, when he looks at the clock, it's almost dinner time in the kitchen, and he knows that Sunghoon will be here any minute. He was sitting in the kitchen making plans to escape. While he was chopping vegetables. "Mmm... I can't.. There's no way I can do this..." he shivers, still thinking about what might happen if everything goes wrong. "Oh my God.. I can't get it out of my head, no way..."
He was focused on slicing vegetables, and the sound of the cutting knife could be said to be pleasant to hear.
Sunghoon appeared, hugged sunoo shoulders from behind and whispered in his ear, "I like that sound."

Sunghoon sat down, took out a knife and handed it to Sunoo. "Here, use this when you need it." He walked away.
When Sunghoon left, Sunoo felt restless, he started looking for something, he was desperately looking for time and a plan, and even now he could change his expression depending on how Sunghoon wanted. So, he knew that he wouldn't notice, and soon enough sunoo found what he wanted. "The rat killer?"
Sunoo grinned and sighed at the same time, because he knew what he wanted to do now. "My plan..."whenever it's time for dinner, he hears the same song, then the door opens and he sits here as usual. "I need to break this routine today."
He mixed the rat carcass into the food when he served it on the table, he cooked a lot of dishes today.
**AT DINNER**
Sunghoon examined all the food. "Wow... You should have told me that you can cook so that we..."

Sunoo looks at sunghoon and forces lil to stand up, preparing to return to his worn desk. "Then I'll eat on..."
"Wait..." said Seonghoon. "Do you want to eat here?"
Sunoo stopped and looked at sunghoon with a slight smile on his face. "Damn. Yeah..." he muttered something and sat down next to Sunghoon on the dining table, trying not to look into his eyes while he sat quietly with his head down.
"Stop being so nice to me all of a sudden, you're making me nervous. Whatever.." Sunghoon said and took the chopsticks, impaling the food on them.
Sunoo gaze was fixed on sunghoon, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face... "Finally!!" The smile grew wider by the each second. "He's doing it... He's doing it!"
Sunghoon brought the chopstick to his mouth and suddenly stopped.
"Huh?" Sunoo smile suddenly disappeared when he saw Sunghoon stop. "Why isn't he eating? He slowly muttered to himself.
Sunghoon looked at sunoo and spoke, "You seem to be smiling a lot lately... I wonder why? He put down his chopsticks and rested his chin on his palm. "You go first." He said
Sunoo blinked and looked at him hesitantly.
"Don't make me repeat myself, did you hear me? Eat it, so we both can smile." He spat out a playful smile.
