???
S... Please save me...!!
한노을
Be quiet.
???
Please... save me...
???
I have a young daughter...
한노을
It's your problem, not mine.
I take out the cassette tape, place it on the desk where I was sitting, and sit on the bed.
With a cigarette in his mouth, he lights it with a lighter and smokes it.
Play the recorded file on the mobile phone.
Congratulations. You are my 17th person.
After this short sentence ends, Erik Satie's Gymnopédie No. 1 begins to play.
The song ended just as I was almost finished smoking.
The woman, with her hands and feet bound, resists while shedding tears.
???
Please save me... My daughter is coming back soon...
한노을
If you don't want to die in front of your daughter, keep quiet.
He put a cloth in the woman's mouth and covered her eyes with a thin black cloth.
Then, he strokes his head two or three times and smiles slightly.
한노을
Your life was hell, and I hope your next life is peaceful.
As soon as he finished speaking, a bullet lodged in the woman's head.
The woman collapsed, and blood began to flow on the floor.
He leaves the house, leaving a thick envelope of cash and a woman's family photo next to the cassette player.
I leave the house and walk down the alley, humming Gymnopédie.
Thump-
변백현
Again?
한노을
... huh.
변백현
It's probably Gymnopédie this time too.
한노을
... uh.
변백현
I said stop it and come to me!
Grab Noeul's chin with your hand and bring it close to your face.
한노을
I'm not in the mood to kiss you.
변백현
You're so prickly.
It is Noeul walking alone down the alley after letting go of the hand.
변백현
Let's go together.
As Baekhyun ran to Noeul and stood beside him, Noeul spoke to him.
한노을
away.
변백현
Do you hate me that much?
한노을
uh.
I have been flirting with Noeul for years, but I have never succeeded even once.
Baekhyun hates such a sunset, but despite that, he likes the sunset.
변백현
Where are you going next?
한노을
... korea.
I don't know how many years it's been since I last went back.
변백현
Did you kill all the Koreans living here?
한노을
no.
변백현
But why Korea?
한노을
I have someone to meet.
변백현
Is it a woman?
한노을
man.
변백현
Who is it?
It is Baekhyun's face that froze in an instant.
한노을
... dad.
변백현
ah.
I don't know how many years it has been since I last went to see them.
변백현
When are you going back to Korea?
한노을
Early morning flight tomorrow.
변백현
What are you going to do about your acting career in Canada?
한노을
I told the company that I would go back and rest for the time being.
변백현
You, going around killing people while being an actor... really something.
한노을
As long as you don't get caught, that's all that matters.
변백현
Does the company know?
한노을
If I knew, would I still be alive?
변백현
That's true.
한노을
Don't even think about following Korea.
변백현
Why me.
한노을
It's a nuisance.
변백현
If you told me that knowing I would follow, didn't you mean you wanted me to come along?
한노을
...
Baekhyun was Noeul's only friend.
He was always there for me through hard times, happy times, and sad times, but strangely, I couldn't bring myself to grow attached to him.
한노을
Don't come.
한노을
If you come, I'll kill you too.
변백현
You're prickly.
