Tzuyu's Death Note [Short Story]
EP.2


School the next day


세훈/19
Hey, is that Zhao Tzuyu Ivan? Come out

This is our school's handsome senior Sehun.


쯔위/17
Why... why?


세훈/19
Follow me.

The place we went to was a school warehouse.


쯔위/17
Why here...


세훈/19
Hey, what were you doing yesterday?


쯔위/17
What was it yesterday...?

Did Sehun-sunbaenim see it yesterday?


세훈/19
I thought you were just a loner who gets beaten up by kids, but you weren't...


쯔위/17
No... what are you talking about, senior...


세훈/19
So what is this~?


Tzuyu takes a gun out of the inside pocket of her school uniform jacket.


세훈/19
Oh, these days, ordinary, loners and high school girls carry guns?


쯔위/17
Senior, that's... ah...


쯔위/17
Please don't tell anyone else. Please...


세훈/19
I also thought you shouldn't be caught, so I came to a place where there were no surveillance cameras and no one else.


세훈/19
Be honest. What do you do?


쯔위/17
Ah... that's...

Tzuyu's past. Tzuyu was 10 years old.

bang

My father was shot and killed.


쯔위/17
dad!!

엄마
Hey everyone, what do you guys do?!

엄마
(Protecting Tzuyu)

"That guy (Tzuyu's dad) was our agent. But he betrayed us."

"So I have no choice but to kill him."

"If you tell anyone about this, I'll kill you all."


쯔위/17
Sigh... ugh...

"And. You." (pointing to Tzuyu)


쯔위/17
yes yes?

"Become our agent."


쯔위/17
no, I do not want!

"Ha, you don't like it? That kid is amazing."

He points a gun at my mother.

"You still don't like it?"


쯔위/17
No..! I will!

"Yeah, that's right. We'll pick you up after school. You need to train."


쯔위/17
Yeah... ugh... sigh...


쯔위/17
I started training like this and entered the field when I was 14.


쯔위/17
But if you don't do this, you'll kill your mom and me...


쯔위/17
If I report it to the police, I will be punished...


쯔위/17
I don't know what to do. Sob sob..


세훈/19
..... (embarrassed when Tzuyu suddenly cried)


쯔위/17
It's really so hard. I'm doing this too...


쯔위/17
Imagine killing someone every day.


쯔위/17
How guilty and scared you must feel... sob... sob...


쯔위/17
Sob... sob sob... Shut up, shut up...


세훈/19
(Hugs Tzuyu.)

After a while


세훈/19
Are you calming down now?


쯔위/17
yes.

It comes back as if I never cried before.


세훈/19
I'm going to be late for class. Hurry up and go.


쯔위/17
yes..

Tzuyu is leaving


세훈/19
I didn't know something like that happened...


세훈/19
Tzuyu... I need to help you


세훈/19
I don't know how to help you, but...
