That night I took her to Han River park, the park was basically abandoned and dark other than a few street lights and cars over the bridge. I knew no one would see me, but just in case I made sure to cover my face with a dark mask.
I pulled up to the edge of the water by the bottom of the bridge and checked once again to make sure there was no one around.
Once I verified that the area was clear I opened the trunk and pulled out her bruised lifeless body, tossing it down the small hill that lead down the riverbank watching her land on the edge of the water with her left leg dipping slightly into the river.
I got back in the car and drove away, laughing, as I was quite pleased with myself the whole way home. I have to admit I was nervous that things wouldn't work out, but despite the fact that it was slightly sloppy everything went generally well. Of course I'll have to be a little more neat if I want to continue my work without getting caught........
“... The body recovered by the Han River has been identified as 20 year old Choi Namii, authorities suspect suicide... ”
I laughed loudly to myself, it had been three days since Namii’s accident, and my life had continued on very normally, going to work during the day and planning by night.It’s not like I have nerves of steel, I do occasionally doubt myself. But I have a piece of her here with me. I still have her locket, the one she gave to me when she was entering middle school and we were being seperated for the first time in years. I still have the photos and toys she gave me whenever she had to go away for a long time, they ranged from group photos to silly little selfies and from small little trinkets to large wooden toys.
I treasure them all, they remind me of the good times we had, when I was young and naive and Hwa-Young guided me. They also remind me why I'm really on this mission, for her.
I know purifying the world won't bring her back, but I also know that it would be justice for her, and that's all I want in this lifetime. It’s for her and all of the other people affected by the selfish and vain. It’s all I have and all I live for, and I'd do anything to make sure no one else suffers at the hands of the self-entitled.
