Family...?_






















I don't know what was in my head when I ran. I just ran. I gritted my teeth and ran. I was out of breath and my head was spinning.



Suddenly - !



"Miss, you're finally here."



Sarah glared at the employee. She wondered if that was even a word.



"Where is Park Jimin?"



"Where would he be? He's in the basement."



"Ha, fuck."




I just found out today that there's a basement here. I've never been anywhere else in this spacious mansion except my room. I eat in my room, and I use my bathroom there, so I don't need to leave.



I descended the dark stairs to reach the basement. The eerie air in the basement gave me goosebumps.



"Where the hell is it..."



mate - !



" ...!! "



I ran straight to where I heard the sound.



Rattling - !!



"What are you doing now!!"



Sarah pushed the woman she didn't know away.



"Sarah is here?"



It's terrifying. If the devil's voice could be heard, it would sound like this. How could a voice be so terrifying?

"Park Se-ra... why are you here? I told you not to come..."



"Shut up. You little punk, tell me what you're talking about."



Jimin's appearance instantly made me furrow my brow. His clothes were torn to shreds, showing how many times he'd been beaten, and the wounds visible between them... ah...



What the hell? Why am I being hit? Why can't I remember...? Sera said, leaving Jimin behind.



"Get out."



Sigh -



"You keep acting like that even after being hit like that?" Woman



"What are you doing that you're hitting me with?"



"Why is he like this? It's only natural that he gets punished for his poor grades. Do you think your parents are pouring money into me just for those grades?"



"Fuck!!"



This is why I'm going crazy. How can I possibly survive when all I'm surrounded by are crazy kids? This is hell. What's the point of being happy in a place like this? What kind of bullshit are you talking about?



"Hey, get out of the way. We're going out here."



"Aren't you afraid of retaliation? I don't care. Your mother won't leave you alone, though." Woman



"Wouldn't it be better to just stay quiet? Do you want to see someone die?" Woman



It was a warning. A warning from the devil. The sight of him, ready to devour me, no, us, at any moment, was suffocating.



"Are you threatening me?"



"If that's how you feel, then maybe" woman



"Park Se-ra, stop it..." Jimin



Jimin grabbed Sera. He felt like something serious was going to happen if he didn't grab Sera, who seemed like she was about to start a riot.



"I don't understand this kind of nonsense. How long do you think I'll listen to you nicely?"



"There's a lot to say about dolls." Woman



Sarah paused. A doll. Yes, Sarah was a doll. Forced to move like a doll. She wanted to kill that woman who spewed the words Sarah hated the most.



mate - !!



Eventually, Sarah's hand flew away. She struck with such force that the woman's head turned sharply.



"Are you sick?"



"Ha... I've heard that you're not in your right mind these days, but I didn't expect it to be that bad." Woman



"You and Mom are the same. You're both dirty."



"Sera!!" Jimin



"Park Jimin, how long are you going to do this stupid thing?"



" ..... "



She must have been afraid. Sarah had to be careful with every move she made. She knew she wouldn't be able to survive here if she didn't. She feared retaliation. She was in pain. She was in agony...



And she wouldn't have wanted to hurt Jimin any further. It was annoying and she hated it, but she would have hated it even more if someone touched her own brother.



It's like a life-size...



Everything seemed tangled, a tangled mess, difficult to unravel. I never imagined I'd feel so sorry for Sera and Jimin, who had to face each other in this dark basement.



"Get out of the way when I say it again. I'm going out."



"Since when have I ever done what you wanted?" Woman



BANG!!



The door closed. As that iron door closed, even the small amount of light that had been streaming in disappeared. Now, only darkness remained.



"A disobedient child should be scolded, right?"



Hesitation



Because I couldn't see ahead, my hearing became more acute. So the sounds I heard were even more piercing, and I became more scared.



Puck - !!



"Ugh...!"



He clearly lost sight of Jimin's hand. He must have been hit hard enough to fall to the ground. He must have been getting hit before I got there, so hitting Park Jimin again must have been intentional.



"Just hit me, you crazy bitch!!"



"Are you scared? Are you shivering? You've always been like that. You knew you'd get punished if you resisted, but you still did it. In the end, you just whined and apologized."



She felt so angry she could barely contain herself. The indescribable rage was tearing Sarah's senses apart.



"I'm going to kill you!!"



Sarah focused solely on the sound. Then she quickly grabbed the woman. But the woman said, "What would a timid girl like you do?" But Sarah wasn't a timid doll now.



Kwaak -



"Ugh...!"



He aimed for her neck, her neck. He didn't even give her a chance. I wanted this woman to feel the same pain I did. When I committed suicide, when the rope around my neck tightened and agonized me... I wanted her to feel that pain and suffer the same agony.



"Feel it too. That suffocating pain."



Die, die, die. It's just a game, isn't it? There's no need for a person like you to live, right? Just die. Die.



"Ugh..."



"No... Come to your senses... Park Se-ra...!!" Jimin



Jimin pushed Sarah away. Then Sarah's hand on the woman's neck was removed, and the woman stumbled and spoke.



"Ugh... Do you think I'm going to get hit...? " Woman



The woman left, locking the door tightly and leaving us trapped in the darkness.



" it's crazy!!? "



"Are you crazy? Are you going to kill that woman?!"



"That woman, whether she lives or not, it's not my business. Wouldn't it be better if she died?"



"No matter what... how could you mess with my aunt..."



" what...? "



It felt like I'd been hit hard in the back of the head. It wasn't someone my mother had called with money, but my aunt...? Family?



This is ridiculous. How could they do that? They're family. They're all of the same dirty blood, so they're no different from my mother, right...?



"Ha...hahahahahahaha"



"Park Se-rul..."



"I'm crazy. I'm crazy!! Why do I have to suffer like this in a place like this? I'm telling you to be happy, to survive!!!"



"But what is this now? What is this?! I should have just... just let him die then..."



"Sarah, what are you talking about..."



"I told you to kill me. Why didn't you kill me? I even gave it to you when I called you oppa. What more do you need? When did I ever say I wanted to live in that fucking place!!!"

"Please... please Sarah... I'm so sorry... so please don't say things like that..."



"I have to protect you... Now that you're gone..."



Sarah sat down and looked down at Jimin, who was crying.



"I can't stand that."



My future is full of thorns, I just want to end this. This tight breathing hole of mine.
