Hello, Marie

Hello, Marie. Prologue

“Is this okay?”

In front of a deserted building, a man takes out two checks from his wallet and hands them to the merchant, as if he were buying something.

To others, it seemed like a huge sum of money, but to him, it was just a useless piece of paper, nothing special.

“……. Is this all there is to it? It’s not fun.”

The merchant, who sat arrogantly on a chair and looked up at the customer even though he was standing right in front of him, complained that he was not satisfied with the amount of money he had offered.

“……I guess you expect a lot from me.”

“It’s not even close to what you can do with just a piece of paper like this.”

The merchant's attitude seemed to have irritated him, so he pulled out a few more checks and dropped them on the floor, signaling for them to take them as they pleased.

He walked over to the pretty doll beside him, leaving the merchant who seemed taken aback by his actions and picking up the money. Seeing that she was hanging from a string, he realized she was a marionette.

He bends down, meets her gaze, and looks at her intently without saying anything.

"Isn't it pretty? Other people wouldn't sell it even for a billion won, but I really like your attitude, so if you want to buy it, I'll give it to you."

“……A year, to a pretty girl.”

After saying that, he carefully examined the marionette's eyes, nose, mouth, and even hair, and then wrapped both hands around her waist as he always did.

The thinner the better. That was his belief.

“…….It’s pretty.”

He must have liked the doll's waist, which was thin enough for his hand to touch, so he said with a sly smile, "Let's do this."

No matter how pretty a woman's face is, if her waist isn't thin enough for him, he'll immediately throw her away. He really liked her because she met all his criteria.

“Oh, yes. This is it,”

"know."

Jungkook cuts off the merchant's words as he tries to explain while handing over a small bottle of purple medicine he had been holding, and takes the medicine bottle out of the merchant's hand and takes the doll.

“It’s not just once or twice.”

“Ah...yeah, what.”

He placed her in his sports car, which looked to be worth well over 4 billion won, and secured her sagging body with the seatbelt. He then got into the car himself.

“Have a safe trip.”

“…….It’ll be fun.”

After leaving a meaningful message, he started the car and left before dawn. That was how Jeong-guk leisurely disappeared.
