The Masked Stalker

Chapter 10

The policemen left the corpses to a forensic pathologist and after coming back to the police station, the cops start talking about Jiah and how hard it was to catch him. But remember something? Jiho was doing community service so he was with them. Hearing about his brother's death and hearing them "mocking" him made him upset. While they were talking about the case they didn't took seriously at first and regretted after, someone got up and cried. It was Jiho. He was crying and everyone was looking at him. He then looked up and said that when him and Jiah needed help, nobody was here for them. Jiah principally needed help. The cops don't understand and one of them ask what he meant. Jiho tells them what he meant:" Jiah and his twin brother Jiho grew in a rich family. Jiah is older than Jiho by 10 minutes. They always had to be perfectionist and perfect and their parents didn't care about them. They had a plane company and they had to work a lot there. They were kept by their aunt but she didn't really care about them. Their past was very hard and sometimes their parents would hit them or scream at them. They didn't like being that far with their parents. And sometimes, they would even invite people at home and ignore them. But there was something wrong with Jiah. He wasn't kind to Jiho like before. He started to become emotionless, distant, cold... He wasn't like before at all. He would even take animals from outside and take them home for torturing them; he once took a mouse and mutilated it and did some terrible things. Jiho has seen that and has been traumatized. Like they didn't have enough affection they had to take care of each other. They loved each other a lot but because of this, Jiho was dependent of Jiah. That's why he would always obey him. Jiho was not in love with Jiah. Never. When they were 15, nothing has changed their parents were still ignorant. Jiah was annoyed by the situation and decided to change it. He took his father's gun and when they were in the kitchen Jiah prepared himself and shooted his mother in the heart and his father in the brain. They were dead. Jiho, when he heard the gunshots immediately runned downstairs. When he saw his dead parents, he was shocked but soothed. Finally, their years of sufferance were ended ! Jiah looked at Jiho and smiled to him; Jiho couldn't help but smile back stressed by the situation; he was scared to be his next victim. Jiah rassured him by telling him he will not kill him. Jiho was reassured. Jiah told he will hide the bodies and Jiho nodded shyly. Jiah seeing his brother intimidated proposed if he wanted to hide the bodies with him. Jiho was too stressed that he accepted without wanting it. It was like he was influenced by him. Maybe because he was ? Jiah took Jiho's hand and took him in the garden. He decided to burn his parents bodies to show Jiho his new fantasy. Jiho was shocked but like he was influenced by Jiah he didn't say anything. Jiah was in fact a social path. Social paths become that because of the sociality and persons they frequent. That is why it is called "socio"path. Unlike the sociopaths, the psychopaths are born this way because of brain structure problems, genetic, violence during childhood but also environmental conditions. But back to the murder, their parents were important enough to be recognized as missing or even dead. Their friends noticed it and asked Jiah and Jiho if they saw them. They both lied saying that they didn't and they believed them. I mean, how could a 15 years old kill his own parents ? They reported it to the police and they investigated on the case. But Jiah burnt their corpses in the garden, didn't he ? Fire has a smell doesn't it ? When the police asked their neighbours, they said that they smelled fire from the garden. The police had Jiah and Jiho as suspects because they were the only ones at home that day. The cops could conclude that their parents were dead burnt. Jiah finally admitted his murder 2 months later and defended Jiho saying he didn't know anything. Jiah went in prison for 5 years. He only had 5 years because he was a minor and Jiho payed for his freedom. Jiah normally had 15 to 20 years in jail. When he exited the jail, he decided to distract himself by trying to find friends. And here it is, he met Soomin on a social media. He decided to stalk him for 2 years to see if he could be a good person and by his conclusion, he concluded that, yes, Soomin was a "pure soul" like he liked to call good people. He wanted to know more about him than he did and asked Jiho to hack Soomin's account. Jihoinfluenced and manipulated couldn't refuse. He did it but Soomin didn't know it. He was constantly observed without knowing it." Jiho concludes that Jiah and him needed help and could've been better people if they had help. After saying that he takes the gun next to him and before shooting himself he pronounces his last words: "I'm sorry Jiah. I love you." He shoots himself and dies. He lets himself falls, not able to stand on himself. The blood slowly leaves his body slowly letting a blue pale color on his skin. His eyes are open showing his perfect blue eyes. His glare looks like if he was shocked like when he saw his parents die in front of him. His heart stops pounding for the last time. At the school, the teachers explain what happened to the three students who had a big potential. They all do a minute of silence. The conclusion goes here; never trust people on the internet we never know people. At the end of the day, when students leave, the girl that helped Minhee before, Yuna, joins a girl and they let out a laugh by looking at each other. Yes, it was them, Yuna and Sana, Minhee's old bullies. They joined the school to make her life a hell. In fact, they helped Jiah to find and hack Minhee. They selled her data on the darknet. They helped him because at first Yuna found Jiah cute and wanted to flirt with him but Jiah declined and proposed them to help him instead. They accepted and asked whose informations they had to take and Jiah responded that he needed Minhee's informations. They were happy because they hated her a lot and plus they were in her school so it could be easy. They did and became Jiah's complices. Few days later, they are convoqued at the principal's office. The principal knew everything they did. They were confused on how he knew that. He explains that Jiah told everything to him when he started regretting his acts. The girls were even more surprisedand got vired of the school. They had to pay an ammend and go to jail for 20 years for complicity and bullying. That is how the story end. The conclusion is to be careful with everyone because we never know a whole personality no matter how long we know that person. Be careful.

The end.
