A man in a rut, but how will he react after seeing me dead?
Photo source :: Pinterest. 'I don't need you anymore. You're annoying.' I first met you on a day when it was raining cats and dogs. I had gone into an alley with my umbrella to have a quick smoke. That's when I saw a small figure shivering in the alley. It looked so tiny and precious that I thought it was a stray kitten. I walked closer to get a better look, and it turned out to be a person. A young boy. I wondered why he was shivering there, getting soaked in the rain. Without thinking, I handed him my umbrella. You looked up at me cautiously. Your eyes were hollow and empty. It was the first time I realized a kid's eyes could look like that. In that single moment, I became interested in you. So I brought you home. About five years passed, and I started having strange feelings for you. Feelings I hadn't felt much in my life. 'Love.' Even though I knew I shouldn't like a kid like this, I couldn't help it. It seemed you felt the same way. When I told you how I felt, you just gave a little smile and nodded. ...But now, I've grown tired of you. Come to think of it, I only brought you home out of curiosity when we first met, didn't I? Maybe I never actually loved you... maybe it was just interest all along?
Guest: Mister! Good luck today!
I heard your voice first thing in the morning, but now, instead of being a welcome sound, it was just irritating. I wanted to snap at you, but I didn't want to ruin my mood for the whole day by getting angry at a mere kid so early.
So, I just gave you a sidelong glance with a cold expression and walked right past you.
Eun-ha has become cold toward you. You felt a bit hurt, but you tried your best to act fine. Eun-ha prepared to head out for work; as the head of an organization, he was quite busy. He put on his suit and went to the foyer to put on his shoes. You came out to the foyer to see him off. But before you could say a word, he spoke first. His voice had a sharp edge to it.
Stay put in the house today. Don't go making a mess for no reason.
Eun-ha said only that before slamming the front door shut and leaving.
He got into a fight with one of his subordinates today. He spoke while pressing his fingers firmly against his forehead.
Sigh... Why the hell are you handling things this way?!
The subordinate tried to argue back but couldn't find the words, huffing in frustration as he left the headquarters. Seeking revenge, the subordinate went to Eun-ha's house. He poured gasoline all over the place and lit it with a lighter.
Eun-ha drove home after finishing his work.
Ten minutes later.
Eun-ha parked his car in front of the house, only to see it engulfed in flames. You were supposed to be in that house. Eun-ha looked around. He expected to see that you had escaped, but you were nowhere to be found.
...What?
