Chapter 107.1

“haa…”

sera shook her legs nervously with her face buried in her hands.

like being driven to the edge of a precipice.  is there anything else to express her situation this well? if she had succeeded in killing adam, she wouldn’t have had to be so anxious.

but it failed.

worst of all, this failure continued to hold hdr back. as time goes by, it becomes a heavier shackle that will control not only her ankles but her entire life. she spent each day in anxiety and anxiety because she was afraid that the fact that she had instigated murder would be revealed. eventually, the anxiety interfered with daily life and she was suffering from insomnia every night.

she wished it had ended there.

her hallucination of kang tae-oh, whom she met in her dream a few days ago, began to appear. at first, when looking at a corner or far away, he stood as if he was a ghost, but as time went by, he got closer

“——.”

he even talked to her in an inscrutable, grotesque language.  even now, he came next to her and was muttering something.

“shut up! shut up!”

sera covered her ears with her hands covering her face. if he was a living human being, she would have strangled him to shut his mouth. her hallucination with kang tae-oh also greatly disrupted sera’s daily life, and eventually she even touched unauthorized drugs to quell this growing anxiety.

“when are you coming?”

sera, who was shaking her legs nervously, shouted.

at that moment, someone opened the front door and entered the house with good timing.

“v-vice chairman……!”

mr. kim was stunned by the mess in the living room. sera’s house, which was always neat, has long turned into a mess like a bomb.

mr. kim crept up to sera, avoiding an unidentified piece of glass on the floor.

“i found what you ordered,”

“why are you so late? give it to me!”

sera snatched the envelope in mr. kim’s hand without answering.

chew, chew.

kim byun looked at sera, who chewed pills raw, as if she were a ghost. sera took out a new medicine from another medicine bottle and took it in a bite, perhaps this was not enough.

“w-wouldn’t it be too much if you mix and take various drugs like this?”

“shut up, i’ll take care of it.”

at sera’s scolding, mr. kim closed his mouth tightly. then, he hesitated and opened his lips again.

“i heard you can’t sleep these days. maybe you should consult a specialist…….”

“do i look like a psychopath to you?”

sera sharply retorted.

“n-no. it’s not like that!”

mr. kim closed his eyes tightly.

sera’s condition has deteriorated abnormally, no, horribly since some time ago. when he saw her talking to herself as if she was talking to someone while looking in the air where no one was there, it was really chilling.

“………wouldn’t it be better to tell the chairman?”

“what are you going to tell her about?”

“the secret.”

mr. kim answered, rolling his eyes.

sera, who didn’t understand immediately, looked at mr. kim with blank eyes. as if she was already drunk with medicine.

‘only he knows about it, joo adam….’

right.

this guy knew it.

there are two people who know about the secret. how did i forget all this time?

“……you’re right.”

“what?”

“if you take this medicine and that medicine without being properly prescribed, my liver will be ruined. no, my whole body will be ruined.”

“vice chairman…!”

kim byun looked at sera with a bright face.

“yes, let’s stop doing this.”

sera threw the medicine bottle in her hand far away.

tuk. roll.

the medicine container that fell on the floor rolled and hit the wall and stopped.

“will you bring all the pills in the bathroom cabinet?”

“yes! i understand!”

mr. kim quickly ran to the bathroom.

sera picked up the medicine bottle she threw on the floor again and slowly stepped toward the kitchen.

“i didn’t get these drugs for her…….”

mr. kim was speechless at the feast of the medicine bottle that filled the storage cabinet.

‘but it’s a relief that she’s going to throw everything away. by the way, she suddenly changed her mind. is it because i brought up the chairman?’

kim byun swept the medicine bottles into the plastic bag. he was feeling a belated wonder, and there was a sign of movement at the door.

mr. kim turned his head slowly.

“vice chairman? oh my……!”

when kim byun saw the object in sera’s hand, he was horrified and stepped back.

it was a kitchen knife.
