It is 11pm now. The phone rings again.
She puts the phone to her ear expressionlessly.
“I heard that she had some surgery in Germany and it took a long time.”
“Now her hearing has recovered.”
“You are done with what you should do.”
What is this feeling when Baek Sa-eon, who had been pestering her, suddenly disappears?
'My sister is here…'
A shadow like her will disappear in an instant. The familiar despair hits her like fear.
Perhaps because of this, the threatening phone calls and the divorce that she once thought was urgent now seem so ridiculous.
This is a sad night when her will and faith disappear. The phone rings again.
In the fear of being washed away, she wants to grab something. In this case, how about doing bad things?
The self that does not need to pretend to be a good person and can be as decadent as she wants.
Fortunately, she does have such a self.
“Hello?”
Hee Joo spoke mechanically.
“I heard that the spokesperson of the Blue House is actually doing gossip business.”
The hand holding the phone becomes cold. 'Ah, it is so annoying.'
'Is this kind of thing really useful?'
'Have I been having a stupid dream?'
"I want to expose everything..."
—Ah, you're so good.
The voice was cold, but with a hint of smile.
"As long as all your dirty deeds are exposed, it will be over...!"
—I thought you were scared and ran away, but you called me.
"......!"
—I hope you know how terrible this world is and stop, but you haven't contacted me, and I'm worried. 406 also wants to continue to sleep with me, so let's continue to threaten me on time."
...What are you talking about? Is this a sarcastic remark?
Hee-joo couldn't understand and could only roll her eyes.
—Did you choose another victim?
This sentence made her forget her sister's existence in an instant.
—I've been waiting for the terrible threat.
"......!"
—If you play with others, I'll be angry.
She was stunned.
'I was obviously the one threatening, why did it seem like I was playing with him?'
—It's fun to catch only one person, isn't it?
Hee-joo was so angry that she couldn't speak.
—If you're so careless, forget it. I can't even get food here, but you're having fun with other guys?"What... not..."
—Then how are you going to make it up? I hate latecomers, and threats are no exception.
It sounded like he was smoking, and the white cigarette butt twisted in the firelight.
—Of course there must be a punishment.
