Serial Killer J

01. Jisoo's past

When I was young, my parents abandoned me and my younger brother in an orphanage.

Life in the orphanage was horrific.

If I could go back to that time, I would kill the parents who abandoned me there.

The orphanage wasn't quiet that morning when I turned 14.

원장님

Hong Ji-soo!

원장님

Why is there a problem again?

원장님

What's the problem? Ask that!!

홍지수

Just tell me what it is and then scold me. Why do you keep saying this?

원장님

Who told you to bring animal carcasses into the room!

원장님

Because of you, the whole house smells like blood!!!

홍지수

Oh, is that why you're saying that? You should have told me sooner. It'd just make things smell worse.

원장님

what...?

홍지수

Why are you acting surprised? You said the smell of blood was vibrating. I should have made it smell worse.

The director seemed angry and raised his hand and hit me.

원장님

I know you won't be able to eat from now on!

Since the director left my room, he hasn't given me breakfast or even lunch.

That evening, when I came out to the living room, a horror movie was playing on TV.

The interesting plot of the movie made me stop and focus on the movie.

You could kill someone so easily

As night fell, the mansion became quiet.

I can't sleep because of the movie I watched last night.

I was sitting in the living room

홍지수

Should I try it too...?

I wanted to imitate the movie, so I got up and went to the kitchen to grab a knife.

When I entered the director's room, I saw the director and her husband lying there.

I went near the bed and stood in front of the director.

I followed exactly what I saw in the movie and the person died easily.

I picked up the knife again and left the room.

Here... was it easy...?

Now that everyone was asleep, I had to erase all traces of myself.

I thought that setting fire would be the right way to erase my traces.

홍지수

Hong Soo-ah, wake up

수아

Oppa...?

홍지수

Wake up quickly

수아

What's going on...

홍지수

Hurry up!!

수아

Oh, okay...

As soon as Sua woke up, I grabbed her hand

came out

Please think of it as night

I went outside, took a lighter out of my bag, and lit it.

수아

What are you doing, oppa...?

수아

Are you trying to set fire to it??

Because it was autumn, there were many dry fallen leaves around me. I picked up one, lit it, and placed it on the ground.

The fire was burning with a crackling sound.

홍지수

Let's go, Suah

수아

I'm not going

홍지수 image

홍지수

what...?

수아

How can you start a fire?

수아

He's not even my older brother

With those words, Su-ah went back into the mansion.

홍지수

Suah!!!!

The flames grew bigger and bigger, engulfing the mansion.

홍지수

Su-ah...

Maybe it was because I came out so late at night, but it was so dark around me that I couldn't see anything, so I wandered around the mansion.

I was planning to leave this place when it got a little brighter, but I realized that the world doesn't always go the way I thought.
