Please enjoy the song along with this.



If you leave my side now, you will die. So make sure you stick close to me.


With those words, he looked at me and let out a smirk. It was an unpleasant laugh, a mixture of mockery and euphoria. I had been manipulated by his scheme. Like a fool, I found myself in the play he had planned.
I ended up becoming the protagonist.


You're a really bad kid.


Foolishly, this was the only harsh thing I could think of. How did things get so twisted? I don't know where it started, but this tangled thread grabbed my ankles.


The distance between us is 384,440km.

Even though I had stayed awake all night, I woke up early. 5:13. My body, my eyelids, and my heart felt heavy. I had wanted to run away from Kim Seokjin so badly, but now I was in a position where running away meant death. I don't know what that bastard father looks like, but I really want to kill him. What is so trifling about money? I considered just handing it over, but since it was the last trace Dad left behind, I vowed never to let it be taken away from me.


โ€œIโ€™m leaving now. Want to come with me?โ€


Kim Seokjin looked completely at ease, even humming a tune as if he were incredibly excited. He seemed to be waiting for my answer. I didn't want to leave. I asked in a voice that was as blunt as possible but not enough to offend him. After all, my life depended on him.


โ€œโ€ฆDo you really have to go out?โ€


โ€œYou donโ€™t have to go out. Anyway, this house isnโ€™t your fatherโ€™s property, so he wonโ€™t be able to find it.โ€


I felt relieved upon hearing his words. It meant I didn't necessarily have to follow him out. I let out a deep sigh of relief and said I would stay here. A brief silence. With a "Fine" in response, Kim Seokjin walked steadily toward the front door, then stopped, turned his upper body slightly, and spoke.


"Maybe. You might be able to find it."

Kim Seok-jin chuckled.


I'll go.


Who could possibly refuse to follow here? It is practically a blatant threat to die.


I'll go too.


I was angry at him for toying with me, so I muttered softly.


'swineโ€ฆ'


If I had known Kim Seokjin was this kind of person, I wouldn't have become close to him in the first place. I suddenly became curious. Just what part of me is it that makes him so obsessed and want to keep me around?


"hey."


When I called, he stopped putting on his shoes and turned around.


โ€œWhy are you obsessing over me? There are plenty of other women in the world besides me. Iโ€™m not even that pretty or anything, so why me of all people!โ€


I got excited without even realizing it.


โ€œHmmโ€ฆ well. I havenโ€™t really thought about it, but I just like you. It has to be you.โ€


Do you love me?


"huh."

"Liar. That's not love. It's obsession. Is it okay to act like this toward someone you love? Isn't this a form of confinement?"


โ€œIsnโ€™t it natural to want to keep someone by your side when you love them? And nobody told you not to go out. You can go out if you want to.โ€


He was definitely a psychopath. His way of thinking was different from ordinary people from the start. He was the kind of person who had to make everything that caught his eye his own. I have seen someone like this before.


โ€œYour fatherโ€ฆ actually, heโ€™s not running a business, is he?โ€


He stopped dead in his tracks. Actually, he had done some background checks on Kim Seokjin's father last night. He thought that if someone could kill someone without a sound, it wasn't an ordinary business. There was definitely something going on.


If not, what are you going to do?


He was calmer than I expected. Actually, I found out yesterday. Kim Seokjin's real job and everything he does.


Who are you?


He snorted and turned his head around.


โ€œWhat do you want to know? Oh, but I donโ€™t really do anything. My father does all the killing. I just clean up the mess?โ€


I snorted.


โ€œYouโ€™re the eldest grandson of Organization K, arenโ€™t you?โ€


He frowned as if in a bad mood and stared at me with eyes that had turned three-white.

Oh no. I ended up upsetting him.



A word from the author ๐Ÿ’ฌ
Well, actually, Seokjin's job isn't being a businessman, but rather.....
