Seo In Woo looked around them, all the cameras were turned down. This was perfect. There was no one to see what would happen next, no one to interrupt this instant, only him and Yook Dong Sik. In the last few weeks he had dreamt so many times of this moment and now that it was finally happening he couldn't be more thrilled. He was going to kill this imitator, this traitor, this weakling who had dared to deceive him when he was nothing more than an insect. He smiled internally while advancing in his direction, his prey was already crying when he hadn't done anything to it yet. Although he usually hated to see people show their weaknesses when it came to this little lamb it was entirely different. In Woo could have watched it cry and beg for hours as long as he was the source of its pain.

- If... If you kill me....What will you tell the cops ? asked Dong Sik with his eyes filled with tears.

In Woo was surprised to hear him ask this, wasn't the answer obvious ?

- I'll say I was stopping the predator killer from killing me. he answered mechanically. I don't have the patience to stage it as a suicide like the others.

He paused for a few seconds to try to put some order in his thoughts. He had promised his father he would clean up this mess discreetly so shouldn't he have opted for another plan ? Why was he making things more difficult by involving himself directly ? The answer appeared in his mind like an obvious revelation.

- I want to kill you right now.

A love confession, in his own way. Until now Seo In Woo had always thought he knew everything about the thrill of killing, but what he was feeling right now... It was something on a whole different level, something only Dong Sik could make him feel. He wanted to stab him, to see his blood pour out of the wound he would have inflicted him, to hold him as life left his body. It was love, it definitely was love. Could Dong Sik accept his confession ? The latter widened his eyes and looked at him in horror. "So you understand " In Woo smiled brightly, he had never been happier in his life. It seemed like once again the two of them were connected. Until now none of his victims had understood why he was doing this, why they had to die. All they would do was beg and ask him why he did this while clinging to him as if it would have changed anything to their fate. But Dong Sik was different, he didn't beg or ask him anything.he understood why he had to die. He understood it was the only way for In Woo to fulfil his desire for him and it horrified him. It horrified him but In Woo didn't mind. He didn't care because what Dong Sik wanted didn't matter the slightest, he was weak so he had no say in what the strongs could do or not to him. If he didn't want to offer himself to him, In Woo would take his life and his love by force. It was the law of the strongest, his law. He grabbed Dong Sik by the shoulder and stabbed him while looking straight into his eyes. His prey immediately let out a whimper and squinted his eyes. He was tense, his jaw clenched as if he was trying to contain his pain. In Woo had never expected Dong Sik to be so brave in his final moments, it was a pleasant surprise which only made him want to hurt him more.

- You're doing well. he praised him before hitting him again.

Dong Sik stumbled while trying to push In Woo away but his assailant grabbed his hands and pulled him against his chest, burying even more deeply the blade. Dong Sik tried to resist by hitting him with his fists and driving his fingernails into his skin but In Woo didn't let go. He observed him struggle in his embrace with a calm face and waited for him to give in. Once Dong Sik had calmed down In Woo dropped the knife on the floor and hugged him even more tightly when he let out a cry because of the pain. As far as In Woo could remember he had never held someone this way and no one had ever done this to him before either, not even his own parents. But right now as he felt Dong Sik's warm blood flow all over his chest, smelt his parfum and buried his head in his neck he suddenly understood why couples enjoyed embracing each other so much. He felt at peace. He closed his eyes and remained like this for a moment while remembering each ones of their meetings. Could things have ended differently between them ? Before he could think of an answer the sound of Dong Sik's breath reached his ears. It was the same noise dying deers made before he put an end to their suffering. It brought him back to reality. The hunt was over, his prey was down, it was now time to finish the job. He slowly pulled Dong Sik away to prepare himself to finish the job but had to catch him again to stop him from falling, he didn't have any strength left in his legs.
