I beg you, please kill me.
I request it.
“···Is there anyone here-?”
A woman wearing a hat pulled down low wanders through a warehouse, illuminated by the occasional flicker of fluorescent lights.
If you look at him biting his lip and looking around a bit nervously, you'll probably have someone he needs to meet.
As the woman wandered around the warehouse, a man's voice began to echo throughout the warehouse. His low voice was eerie.
“Why are you here? You look young.”
Perhaps because it was a large, enclosed space, the woman opened her mouth as if she had been waiting for the echo of the man's voice.
한겨울
“I came to make a request.”
“···Huh, these days, it seems like everyone is coming.”
“I don’t take requests from brats like you. It’s not like I have any ill feelings toward anyone.”
Jjatcha-
When I turn towards the sound of the air vibrating and the ground shaking slightly, along with the sound of someone jumping from somewhere, I see the man who is the owner of the voice standing there.
민윤기
Go back. If you stay here any longer, you never know what will happen to you.
Winter stared intently at the black eyes staring at him, swallowed once, and continued speaking cautiously.
한겨울
...I didn't come here with a light heart.
한겨울
It's not like I'm asking you to kill someone.
At the end of Winter, Yoongi's eyebrows rose slightly. Perhaps it was a gesture to ask what the hell he was talking about.
민윤기
Then why are you here? Don't you know what we do?
"We're hitmen. People who kill people."
From his calmly speaking mouth came words that would startle an ordinary person. But Gyul, as if she knew, never once lost sight of Yoongi's gaze, and gazed at him with a venomous gaze.
한겨울
I know, that's all. That's why I came here. To ask you to kill someone.
민윤기
What? You said you weren't asking me to kill anyone. Did you come here to play word games with me?
At Yoon-ki's words, Gyul shook her head from side to side. A clear denial. At that, Yoon-ki's brows narrowed. Perhaps he didn't like Gyul's attitude, as if he were playing with him.
민윤기
What the fuck, then what is it?
Although his tone was the same as before, I could sense his anger from the somewhat agitated tone in his voice. Of course, time was money to him.
한겨울
···Please kill me.
민윤기
what?
Yun-gi, who hadn't heard who the client was, asked again, as Winter struggled to speak. Then Winter clenched her trembling hands and shouted again.
한겨울
Kill me please!!
[I request you to kill me.]
Episode 1
Come with me.
민윤기
…
Yun-gi stands silently, listening to Gyul's words. Only Gyul's cries echo, falling to his feet.
민윤기
This girl was crazy.
민윤기
Go back, if you don't know how precious your life is.
Gyul's urgent cries followed behind Yun-gi, who turned around with a sigh.
한겨울
I'll give you as much money as you want..!!
민윤기
How much can you give? What, a billion?
Winter flinched when he announced the enormous sum of one billion won, as if he'd expected it. The average person probably didn't have one billion won. Still, Winter spoke in a trembling voice.
한겨울
I'll give you 1 billion...
민윤기
···what?
Yoon-gi, who was about to turn back, stopped at Gyul's words and looked at her with somewhat surprised eyes. A billion won wasn't the kind of money a typical high school student of his age could afford.
To that winter, Yoon-gi, though boring, might have been a little interested. Why did this seemingly perfect child, with money, good looks, and a great body, fall apart?
민윤기
Why would you die with that much money? I do this to make money.
…
At Yoon-gi's words, Gyul bowed her head deeply. Her eyes, peeking through the hair that spilled over her face, seemed to hold a rich story.
Gyul-wool looked at Yoon-gi with wide-open eyes, holding back tears that seemed ready to spill out at any moment.
한겨울
There is no reason to live, nothing to protect...
한겨울
No, I don't.
한겨울
Hell is better than this place.
“So I’m going to die.”
At the end of winter, Yoon-gi bit his lips with a bitter smile on his face, loaded his gun in just a few seconds, and fired at the female protagonist.
한겨울
Ugh..!!
It was a brief moment, but Winter was terrified as the bullets flew. She was so terrified that her resolve to die seemed meaningless.
The bullet Yoon-gi fired whizzed past Gyul-woo's cheek, and Gyul-woo fell to the ground with his legs giving out.
민윤기
Look, if you're so afraid of death, what's the point of dying?
한겨울
…
민윤기
You don't know how precious your life is.
At Yoon-ki's words, Gyul-woo collapsed and began to cry like a child. To avoid embarrassing Gyul-woo, Yoon-ki took off his jacket and placed it roughly on Gyul-woo's head.
한겨울
Sir… what should I do? I really have nothing now, nothing…
한겨울
I thought everything would be okay if I died, but what is this?
“I guess I can’t even die..”
Yoon-gi said, standing still while watching Gyul-wool, who was speaking in broken sentences while sobbing.
민윤기
···Would you like to go with me?
민윤기
If only you were okay with it.
민윤기
It might be a bit difficult, but...
민윤기
You'll never be lonely. Our kids have such great loyalty.
Yoongi gently placed a hand on the head of the female protagonist, who was covered by a jacket. He hoped that Winter would trust him even a little.
민윤기
therefore…
민윤기
Come with me.
한겨울
Really... aren't you lonely?
민윤기
huh.
Really? Really..? Despite Winter's repeated questions, Yoongi simply nodded. He then grabbed Winter's hand and stood up from the floor. Before he knew it, he was pulling the jacket draped over his shoulders tightly against his body, wrapping it around himself.
민윤기
···It must have been sudden, but thank you for trusting me.
"You'll have a lot to lose now. Prepare to protect. Don't prepare to die."
