Serial Murders and Time Powers
29.


I should have stopped you then



'Squeak-'


김제윤
Brother, eat


김도윤
...12:04 PM, downtown cram school... 06-13..


김도윤
....June 1st... Okay, on this day..


김제윤
brother...?


김도윤
...I decided


김도윤
The second one is Park Seung-ha, and it will be on June 1st.


김도윤
Until then, do as I say. Okay?


김제윤
....Ugh..


My brother was getting worse and worse

Even though he's sensitive sometimes, he's never looked so inhuman.


Do-yoon muttered softly in front of his younger brother, as if he had lost his mind.


김도윤
I think we all got them about 3 weeks ago... 3rd place 2 weeks ago... ...and this one 2 weeks later...


김도윤
Alley and... behind the hospital... If I get off school at 7:30, it'll be 1 hour and 38 minutes...


김도윤
Okay, okay.... Jeyoon, come here


김제윤
..huh....


김도윤
Park Seung-ha. Your face looks like this. Remember this route well and follow it carefully. Be specific about where you go and come back, and what time it is. Got it?


김제윤
...Do I have to remember each and every one of them..?


김도윤
Of course. You are the most important.


김제윤
....Ah.. Okay..

My brother had me follow him, meticulously detailing the targets' daily routines. He insisted that not even a single deviation be allowed.

At first, I just followed along because I was afraid that my brother was a murderer and I didn't want this to become known.

So we were living lives that were out of sync with those of ordinary students.

And three weeks before the long-awaited final target dies,


'bang-!!!'


김제윤
...!!!


김도윤
................


김제윤
Hey, what's going on? Huh?


김도윤
...one more person added


김제윤
what...?


김도윤
..the person who stole the test paper..


김도윤
They said there was one more person added...


김제윤
..what? How do you know that?!!


김도윤
Because I heard it



김도윤
'If everything goes according to plan, it's three weeks before the exam... Today, they're going to steal the test papers again. They killed all the other kids, so today, only Kang Woojin, who came in fifth place, will be there...'


김도윤
'Just wait and see... I'll kill you too..'


"Okay, we have one more person today. We don't have much time, so let's go right away."


김도윤
'...One more person came..?!'

"Well... please, everyone, please forget about the unfortunate incidents that have occurred at school recently and take good care of us. Got it?"

"Yes... I'm so anxious I can't live..."

"...Okay then, Woojin's mother. And what are your children's names...?"

"Ah, Kim..."

'Ring ring- ring ring-'


김도윤
....!!!!

The alarm that I forgot to turn off started blaring loudly.

"...Wait a minute... Is there anyone there?!!"


김도윤
Ugh....!

Do-yoon held his breath and hid in the bathroom, begging for it to just go away.

And fortunately, the heavens were on Doyoon's side.

"..Did I hear wrong.... Yes, anyway, even your mother.."


김도윤
....phew..


김도윤
'...By the way, who is that person who said there was one more person added...?!'


김도윤
'The last name is Kim, and I've only heard that the first name has 'N' in it...'


김도윤
'...I'll find out somehow once the test results come out...'



김도윤
'The kid who just got his test paper will be in front of me...'


김도윤
'First place is Kang Woo-jin, as expected, and second place is...'


김도윤
'....namjun kim'
