She held Yeon's neck like she is going to kill him.
I don't know what to do. And unnie started to..... smile?
"It's been a while, Lee Yeon" unnie said
"Oh you are also there hmm" she said not looking at me.
"Who are you" Yeon said expression less.
How can he be calm right now.
"It's me" unnie said going a little closer to Yeon "the one you've been waiting for"
Ohk I know who it is and I don't want to remember what happened.
"What?" Yeon said narrowing his eyes.
Unnie cupped Yeon's cheeks "but you know...." Tucking his hair behind his ears "why....."
"Did you kill me?" She said and Yeon's and my eyes widened. Ok so now it was confirmed. Shit shit shit.
Twelve hours ago
3rd person pov
Ji ah walked in the bathroom with a man
And started checking.where the man who worked with byeong hui's father was lying dead.
"Of course, he's a sailor" the man said
"He had to die drowning" he continued
"He drowned? In that toilet" ji ah said pointing at the toilet
"I pulled him out of it, look at that bloated belly" the man said and sighed " he was drinking water all day" he said
"Call the police right now and lock the bathroom" ji ah said and the man took out his phone.
"A person's life is so futile.....he worked his butt off" he said dialing the police's number
"What are you talking about" ji ah asked
"When the fishing boat named eunhaho overturned a long time ago, he was on the boat too" he said pointing the man lying on the floor with his phone.
"Then, he was with byeong hui's father?"
"Yeah yeah, with mr. Seo, too. All four of them together" he said and walked outside
"Oh it must have been a special night" Yeon said walking inside and then suddenly covered his nose
"What's wrong?" Ji ah asked looking at him
"It smells so fishy" Yeon said still covering his nose
"What?" Ji ah asked clueless
"He smells like a rotten fish" Yeon said
"But this body hasn't decayed yet" ji ah said looking at the body
Then Yeon started to smell to see where that smell was coming from.
And he suddenly opened the body's fist and some hair came out of it
"Hair?" Ji ah said
"But his hair is grey" ji ah countiued
"The smell of sea and....it smells slightly like the comforter from that house" Yeon said
"That house? You mean byeong hui's?" Ji ah asked
And ji ah took the hair from Yeon's hand and Yeon made a disgusted face.
Time skip (a little bit of time skip)
Yeon entered the other survivors house "so you were with that neck, huh?" He said
"Get out of this house, get lost!" The man yelled
"I leave when I want to" Yeon said smirking
"This bastard.....where do you think you are" the man said and ji ah entered.
The man took out a knife and put it on Yeon neck.
Yeon suddenly held the man's hand and twisted it
"Answer my questions nicely starting now, if you don't, I will break you fingers one by one" Yeon said
And the man nodded in pain.
"What did you do on that boat" he asked
"A storm hit the side of our fishing boat, the weather forecast was wrong" the man said
"Then how come just you three came back" Yeon again said
"Mr. Seo got swept away, we were circling aimlessly on the sea"
"Then what?"
" I don't remember" he said and Yeon twisted his hand more harshly
"It's the truth!" He yelled
"When I opened my eyes, I was on the shore" he yelled cryingly
"Okay we will start with the pinky" Yeon said and reached out for the pinky
"Wait a minute" ji ah said in between causing Yeon to stop. And sat beside Yeon
"You must have been scared, being on a flimsy life raft without water or food for 28 days, it is the ideal situation for someone to lose his mind" she said
"The fierce August rays of the sun pelted your body mercilessly and burned your skin
You must have felt nauseous because the raft kept swaying and your stomach was empty, day in and day out the more you thought about waiting to be rescued the angrier you got.......'why me?why?'" ji ah was saying.
"Shut up!" The man screamed
"The 5th day was critical because hadn't rained once. You must have experienced dehydration first"
"No. No." The man said
"Its strange that you starved for 28 days and didn't lose much weight" she said showing him the photo of the three survivors
"You couldn't have gotten food delivered in the middle of the sea where there is no Wi-Fi" Yeon said out of nowhere
"What did you eat?" Ji ah asked already knowing the answer
"It wasn't me!" The man said and kept repeating it.
He suddenly started laughing and repeated the word meat. He started walking towards ji ah with the knife.
It looked like he was going to kill ji ah but then Yeon pushed him back. But he was still laughing
He again started walking towards them but suddenly put his hand in his mouth and fell ji ah ran towards his body
When jiah took his hand out they saw the exact same bunch of hair.
Ji ah checked his pulse and said "he's dead" and Yeon sighed.
Again time skip to the other survivors hut
Ji ah went inside and looked around but saw nothing. Suddenly her eyes landed on a folk painting.
She saw it carefully and thought
There is something missing in this painting
And searched the folk painting online.
THUD!
she suddenly heard a thud and looked back to see Yeon who was standing there eating some chips
She sighed and said "you scared me!"
"Oh sorry" he said
"How can you eat snacks right now" ji ah
Said
"Why not? It's my favorite snack" he said
"And two men died"
"So what?"
"Can't you respond in a more appropriate way?"
"Do you know how much Joseon's population decreased in just 50 years during the imranHoran?" ( Manchu invasion of joseon which started in 1636) he said walking towards ji ah.
"Three and a half million...... I've witnessed way more funerals than the total of Korean funeral mutual aid societies have" he said
"Sure you have witnessed 3.5 million deaths but you must have experienced at least one death that hurt you most." She said and again looked at the folk painting. But Yeon was staring her.
And flashbacks came in Yeon's mind. Tears forming in his eyes
