Yeoju has always been a lucky child.
Even when I fell out of the cradle shortly after birth
Even when I was unconscious after being kicked in the head by a horse
Even in critical situations where food gets stuck in the esophagus,
The heroine was lucky.
But it seems that such luck did not extend to his parents.
The 10-car pileup that occurred when I was 7 years old took the lives of dozens of people and my parents.
Her parents cut off all ties with her relatives by marrying her despite her family's opposition, and as a result, the young heroine became completely alone in this world.
The relatives knew of the deaths of the parents and that Yeoju was left alone, but they ignored them and did not even come to the funeral.
In the end, the heroine ended up going to a remote orphanage.
The person who took care of the female protagonist, who had difficulty socializing with others at the orphanage, was none other than the orphanage director.
But about five years later, even the orphanage director passed away.
In the same car accident as my parents.
It was around that time that she started having nightmares.
The people who are precious to her are disappearing one by one,
Just imagining it, just remembering it, I've been suffering from painful dreams for the past ten years.
It was the same that day. No, that day was different.
The heroine was having a nightmare as usual, but it wasn't her usual dream.
It was a typical nightmare with an eerie and scary atmosphere.
I don't remember the content or the people who appear.
For some reason, a man whose face and voice I couldn't remember from my dreams kept appearing before my eyes.
"......I'm sick of it."
Ordinary or not, the heroine no longer cared about such things.
Because there was no longer anything ordinary about her daily life.
Yeoju, who hadn't eaten anything since last night, looked through the refrigerator.
"There's nothing..."
As I was lying in bed the whole weekend, time was already running towards 6 PM.
Since it was soon time for the sun to set, Yeoju put on a cardigan and went outside.
It was now spring and winter was over, but the days were still cold.
She wore a cardigan tightly in the chilly weather and walked towards the supermarket.
The cardigan was a little too tight, but that didn't matter.
The only problem was that I bumped into a man with his arms crossed and head down while walking and his hood pulled down low.
He was holding a carrier in his hand, and the liquid coming out of it was unusual.
"Ah..! Damn it."
He lost his carrier after colliding with the female lead and tried to grab it again in a hurry.
The carrier, which was so full it was about to burst, fell out of his hands and crashed to the floor, its zipper bursting.
"...?!!!"
The contents inside were shockingly presumed to be a human corpse.
The female protagonist, shocked by the sight of the corpse, immediately turned around.
But I couldn't even walk two steps before I was caught by him.
"Where,!"
"Gyaak!! Sa...save me....."
The man slightly removed his hood as he watched her instinctively scream for help.
"I was originally planning on killing just one person this week...
You saw it all, right? Phew... you.I have to die."
The man smiled faintly and glanced at the female protagonist with a look that was full of life, sending shivers down her spine.
It had a tongue and eyes like a snake.
Under his gaze, she became a helpless rat trapped in poison.
The heroine, who became the snake's prey, pleaded and tried to run away, but was unable to do so.
"Don't blame me too much. Hehe."
The man took out the knife from his arms and swung it at her, looking very pleased.
Phew!
But the one who was actually stabbed was not her, but a man who suddenly appeared.
The heroine and the murderer's eyes widened at the sight of him appearing right in front of their noses in the blink of an eye.
"......!"
".....?"
"Why are you trying to eat my prey?"
The man whispered softly so that the female protagonist couldn't hear, then sat down with a thud.
The female protagonist, who was surprised by him being stabbed in her place, ran to him, forgetting even the murderer who had tried to kill her.
"What should I do... Because of me... You... are in the hospital..."
Her parents and the orphanage director kept coming to mind.
"He died because of me... and because of me... I... I have to die...!"
He grabbed the woman who was talking nonsense by the shoulder and pulled her closer, then put his finger to her lips.
Blood was gushing out from his left chest.
Even though it was obvious that it would hurt, he just smiled and said.
"Shh. It's not your fault."
Words I've never heard before, words no one has ever said to me.
Perhaps the words she most desperately wanted to hear.
After hearing that, she burst into tears and cried after the director died.
