"I have to get out... I have to get out of here, fucking hell!!!!"
A week had passed since Taehyung had donned the devil's robe and suffered misfortune, and his life had been so abnormal that it was fortunate he hadn't gone mad during that week.
He spent several days awake, trembling with anxiety, and then, unable to control his surging anger, he even banged on the walls and windows.
간수1
"Tsk tsk, is it chaos again at 1230?"
간수2
"What's the point of talking? I thought he was going crazy! He was rushing at me with the intent to destroy everything... Ugh, solitary confinement wouldn't help..."
간수1
"He was so quiet when he came in, but why is he acting like that..."
김태형
"Jeon Jungkook!!!! Haa... Haa... Fuck, bring Jeon Jungkook here!!!!!!"
Taehyung, as always, hurled his curses at the quiet hallway, shouting only Jeon Jungkook's name.
It is understandable that he was unable to tell anyone, let alone ask for help, about the dire fact that a great misfortune was approaching him, possessed by a demon, and becoming even more evil.
He always felt guilty, blaming himself for the situation, and he painted the bright daytime sky with a sense of doubt, and greeted the dark night sky with a sense of helplessness and anxiety that he might have to hear the bad news without being able to do anything. He repeated this every day.
김태형
"Please... call Jeonjeong... country... call me!!!!"
남자
"Hey, you little brat!"
After a while of yelling, the man who was imprisoned in the same room as Taehyung clicked his tongue as if he couldn't stand it anymore and then called him over.
김태형
"...yes!?"
남자
"Who keeps calling me? It's so noisy I can't sleep!!"
남자
"Ma, are you waiting for your lover!? Jeon Jungkook? Is Geumma your lover?"
김태형
"....I'm sorry if it was noisy, but I'm not in the mood to joke around with you right now."
Taehyung was quite surprised when the man he had lived with for several days without saying a word suddenly started talking.
남자
"....(snickers)"
남자
"Kid, stop messing around in that room and come sit here with me~"
김태형
"...I really don't feel like doing that..!!"
남자
"If you want something, you have to act like a well-behaved fat person. If you act like you, you'll be useless, you little punk." ※Fat person => Cat's dialect
김태형
"G,then what should I do...!!!"
The man chuckled and thrust a sheet of A4 paper at Taehyung, who was surprised.
남자
"Try telling your lover that you love him~"
The man spoke in a playful or teasing tone, but unlike his mouth, his hands were seriously reaching out to Taehyung for help.
Taehyung was skeptical of the sudden offer, but it was the only lifeline he had, so he had no choice but to grab it, even if it was rotten.
A few days later
전정국
"taehyoung kim...!!!"
김태형
"J, Jeon Jungkook...!!!"
As the man suggested, Taehyung wrote down the emergency on a piece of paper along with a request to call Jeongguk. Fortunately, the message was conveyed to Jeongguk.
전정국
"What the hell is going on....Why is Kim Yeo-ju here!!!..Why is she in danger again..!!!!"
김태형
"Find out Kim Taejin's location right now!!!!"
전정국
"Wh, what? Your brother suddenly... why? He said Kim Yeo-ju was in danger!!"
김태형
"No!!! It's obvious that Kim Taejin will be dragged off somewhere right now and will be beaten to death!! Then who knows what his brother will do to Kim Yeoju!!!!!!"
Jeong-guk was puzzled by Tae-hyung's sudden remark that Kim Tae-jin was touching Yeo-ju and that it was dangerous, but his expression was so serious that it was confusing.
김태형
"Fuck..!!! Please don't just stand there like an idiot and do something!!! Please..sob...."
Taehyung kept having thoughts in his head that his brother must be suffering by now, that something might have already happened to the female lead, and the more he thought about it, the more difficult it was to breathe.
박지민
"Where are you going today, heroine??"
김여주
"Ah..yeah haha I decided to meet oppa!!"
박지민
"Oppa? Seokjin hyung?"
김여주
"huh!!"
박지민
"But you put so much effort into wearing it?"
김여주
"Well, actually, my brother said he'd introduce me to someone he knows! As expected, you can't fool Park Jimin~"
박지민
"Do you know... anyone? Who?"
김여주
"I heard he's the director of the hospital..?"
김여주
"What was your name... Oh! Kim Tae-jin..?"
The misfortune that escaped from the heroine's embrace roamed the world, and, possessed by the devil, grew in size, slowly approaching each person, as if toying with them, and a dark shadow fell over their faces.
