Revenge, just a little cruel_
Tiring -
I've been held captive in this mansion for three days, using the excuse that I'm not feeling well. I only exchanged brief greetings with Park Jimin. He told me to come home as late as possible.
I can't just hide in this house forever, knowing what that woman might do. Just as I was about to head back, I got a call from an unknown number.
I usually don't answer calls from people I don't know. But,
Tiring -
{Option}
1. Answer the phone.
2. Don't answer the phone.
Sarah was puzzled. She'd never had the option to answer a call from an unknown person before.
[ It will be an opportunity to change everything . ]
The sudden message made Sarah even more compelled to answer the phone. With everything in shambles, what could possibly change?
" ··· hello. "
I answered the phone nervously.
"...Serani?"
Thump, thump, thump -
My heart raced. A familiar voice sounded, and I felt strangely nervous.
"It's Dad."
" ...!!!! "
My throat felt like it was closing up. My mind went blank, wondering what to say.
" ···dad? "
"It's been so long since I've contacted you, using the excuse of being busy."
What should I say? I don't remember, so what can I say? I've never had a father in the first place...
My parents died shortly after I was born, so I was raised by my grandmother instead of my parents.
For Joo-hee, who has no memories of her family, this situation is nothing but bewilderment. Without even a memory of Sera, she's helpless.
"What gives you the right to contact me?"
The voice came out on its own.
"Sarah..."
"You left us behind... so shamelessly...!!"
"I never abandoned you. You know I couldn't help it."
"That person hasn't come back in three years?"
"I didn't know it would get this long..."
"You really are a bad person..."
Sarah's memories quickly flashed through her mind. Five years after her biological mother's death, her father was forced into a semi-coerced remarriage. It was bound to be a huge shock to Jimin and Sarah, who were still young.
I was dumbfounded by my stepmother, who acted like my biological mother in front of my father. While my father was forced to spend long business trips abroad, indulging in every luxury, my stepmother lived her life doing whatever she pleased.
That woman wasn't my biological mother...
"I'm sorry."
"...What is your business?"
"I'm leaving the country today."
Sarah remembered. What the man had said back then was true.
"I called Jimin, but he didn't answer..."
" yes...? "
A sense of unease washed over me. I felt like I wasn't supposed to be resting comfortably here.
"I'll contact you later...!"
Sarah hung up the phone abruptly, grabbed her coat, and quickly left the room.
"Park Se-ra, where are you going?"
"I have to go home."
"It's not working yet..."
"Let go of this."
With an annoyed expression, she shook off Yoongi's hand. After a brief silence, Sera bit her lower lip and stepped outside, leaving Yoongi behind with an unreadable expression.
"What's going on? Where is Sarah going?"
Yoongi didn't answer Namjoon's question. No, he couldn't give any answer.

After the beep, the voice...
"Fuck, why aren't you answering my phone!?"
My anxiety only grew. I took a taxi home, chewing and tearing my fingernails. Not even noticing the bleeding, I just told the driver to hurry.
"Arrived."
"Here!"
I handed the wad of cash I had in my wallet to the knight and hurried into the mansion.
It felt strangely strong. Not a single bodyguard was in sight, and no one was there until the moment I opened the front door.
" ...jimin park? "
It was quiet.
"...Is there anyone there?"
It was strange. There was a rule that the house must never be left unattended, but not even the butler or the housekeeper was inside the mansion.
Why are you anxious...
Clang -
A noise was heard from the basement. Turning her head, she saw the door leading to the basement was open. Sarah picked up the decorated pistol and quietly headed downstairs.
Crack... Crack...
" iced coffee··· "
jimin park?
Park Jimin's voice was heard. Sera quickly ran towards the sound.
"That's right, I told you I'd kill you."
"Ugh... Ugh..."
" jimin park...? "
" ah... "
It was covered in wounds and blood. The floor was damp and the smell of blood was overwhelming. The hilt of a knife lay on the floor, the new mother lying bleeding. A completely unexpected situation unfolded before my eyes.
" Seraya... "
Hesitation
" ..... "
Sarah took a step back. Jimin's expression hardened as he saw his own mess.
"Park Jimin... you,"
"It's dirty..."
Jimin suddenly ran in a hurry, as if being chased by something.
Sarah approached her stepmother. The stepmother grabbed Sarah's ankle and spoke urgently.
"Baby... please, save me..."
" ..... "
Sarah looked down at her new mother, who was crawling on the floor without any expression on her face, begging for her life.
"Mom, you're not going to leave me like this... are you? Cool."
Sigh -
"You crazy bitch, do you still see me as your daughter?"
Sarah picked up the hilt of the knife.
"Killing someone is both easy and difficult. But, I don't think I'd feel guilty about killing you."
" ...hi. "
Phew - !
Sarah plunged the knife into her stepmother's heart in one swift motion. Then she twisted the knife to the side, and her stepmother died without ever opening her mouth again.
"It's dirty."
I thought it was a chance. A chance to get away from that woman. I was disgusted that she called me her daughter. Who was she? Tormenting me like that? What right did she have to say such things? It was so fucking fucked up I felt like vomiting.
" ..... "
My blood feels cold. I thought it would at least relieve me... but it just feels unsettling. Is it because I killed someone?
Haha... Even so, it's not murder, right? You guys should experience the same thing.
Why don't you just cut it down without killing anyone?

"Where is Park Jimin..."
She wiped the blood from her face with her sleeve and looked for Jimin. Blood stains appeared on the floor, and Sarah followed them.
Squeak -
" jimin park? "
When I opened the bathroom door, I saw Park Jimin.
"No, no..."
He stood in front of the washbasin, like a madman, wiping away the blood. He must have thought the blood flowing from his own wounds was that woman's, so he scratched at it with his fingernails, trying to wash it away.
But the wound only deepened, bleeding more profusely. Still, the shock of stabbing his stepmother was immense.
" jimin park. "
"Go away!! Don't come to me, it's dirty, Sera..."
"...Brother."
" ..... "
"We were just taking revenge. I killed that woman. I killed her, not you, so don't think anything strange."
"Everything is a mess..."
"No, that's not true."
Sarah hugged Jimin. She patted his back as he cried sadly.
What is Sarah thinking? No, is her current thinking Joo-hee's or Sarah's?
What killed that woman?
