Chapter 59 – 18. Jihye Jeon (7)
November 11th, Pepero Day.
On this day, people express their good feelings or gratitude by giving Pepero to the opposite sex they like or be indebted to.
In fact, this is just a clever ploy by the confectionery company. However, thanks to the positive energy that fills the hearts of those who exchange emotions with each other, Pepero Day is loved by many people.
Jeon Ji-hye did not miss this opportunity. She got up early in the morning, made a lot of handmade peperos, and handed them to Jihoo after choosing only the ones that looked the most delicious.
First of all, first of all, I gave it to him.
Ji-Hoo Jeong must have prepared in advance, so she was able to receive a pepero in return. When she saw the smile on his face, she felt as though they were in a relationship, and a mischievous laugh leaked from her lips.
However, her smile did not last long that day.
“Jihoo! Here’s Pepero!”
“Wow! Thank you so much.”
Unlike herself, who is her bully, Jihoo is popular among women. He adds a little bit of exaggeration, and peperos are piled up like a mountain on his desk.
Jeon Ji-hye watched Ji-hoo’s desk through the gap between her arms as she pretended to sleep on her stomach as usual.
There are 5 people. The bitches who gave him pepero without knowing their subject until now.
She thought, remembering the names of the detestable women one by one.
It’s okay though.
Because I was the only one who got a reply from Jihoo.
Then, a female student jumped up from far away, and as expected, she approached Jihoo and handed her a pepero.
“J-Jihoo, this! Take it…!!”
“Oh what. Pepero? Could it be that today is Pepero Day?! Thank you so much!”
Hyeeun Kim. A female student who has a crush on Jihoo. She was once her friend, but now she is her own nemesis and foe.
Jeon Ji-hye peeked over Kim Hye-eun’s palm and was surprised.
‘This···!’
There were ‘handmade’ chocolates wrapped in vinyl.
“Wow, did you make this yourself? You can’t go without paying for this…”
“Go, thank you!!”
Kim Hye-eun received Ji-hoo’s pepero, which was overflowing with her wrath, and ran away into the arms of her friends. Jeon Ji-hye watched her and gnashed her teeth.
That bitch handed over homemade cookies, just like Jihyo, and both received Jihoo’s return. Only then is there no advantage of wisdom.
‘And if that chocolate tastes better than my Pepero…?’
···Unstable.
A woman has to be good at cooking to be attractive… What if Ji-hoo falls in love with Kim Hye-eun? So what if you dump me?!
Her head is dizzy with the looming fear. Sick. She squeezed her eyes shut to get away from her horrible imagination that she really didn’t want to think about.
“Kick.”
An obvious sneer pierced wisdom’s eardrums. When I opened my eyes again, Park So-young was also handing a pepero to Ji-hoo.
He obviously liked Shin Hyeon-cheol…
“Hey, I’m Pepero too. It’s a pity that mine isn’t handmade, right?”
“Oh thank you.”
“…How about a return?”
“I’m sorry. I’m running out.”
“Wow, that’s too much! Are you discriminating against people right now?
At the sight of Park So-young whispering bullshit and whispering something into Ji-hoo’s ear, the sharpie in Ji-hye’s hand broke in half.

December.
Shoot aaaaa
It rained exceptionally hard that day. Along with something that I don’t know if it was rain or hail, a strong wind blew so hard that I couldn’t see clearly. On days like this, Ji-hye would usually study alone with Ji-hoo in her room.
But not that day.
(Dancing rabbit and crocodile emoji)
[I’m going to go to the academy reading room right after playing with my friend? See you later!]
Wisdom looked down at the message he had just sent her.
Jihoo said he was spending time with another friend and came to the academy to study with him. She’s a little disappointed, but it’s not something she’s complaining about. Because his privacy should be respected.
However, Jeon Ji-hye was feeling extreme anxiety. Because she knows who the ‘friend’ who will be hanging out with Jihoo by now is.
I thought back to the chatter of the damn bitches I overheard in the toilet cubicle in the women’s bathroom.
“Who will play with Hyeeun, me and Jihoo today!”
“Huh? Really?! Is it time for him?”
“Yeah. I think we’re going to go to karaoke!”
“I pass. I have to go to an academy… It’s a waste.”
“I’m also at the academy…”
Starting from Pepero Day last month, the relationship between Jihoo and the other girls became very close. The frequency of talking together during break time has increased dramatically, and it seems that we sometimes play together after school.
Of course, it’s not as good as Jihye, whom we’ve been close to since childhood and whose house is right next door…
‘… Wouldn’t it?’
He rarely talked about other girls in front of her. She felt grateful because this is a level of caring for herself, but it is also true that she is frustrated and anxious inside.
[What kind of confidence do you have?]
Stress builds up
[It’s no wonder that Park So-young is better than me.]
Jeon Ji-hye walked down the street in the pouring rain toward the academy. The faces of the passers-by are hidden by the open umbrella, but the ‘voice’ can be heard.
[Park So-young wears makeup better and sings better than me?]
A cruel whisper that sings of a hopeless future.
[I am less than Kim Hye-eun.]
Her voice, which started playing in her head a few days ago, haunts her every time she tries. No matter how much I cover her ears, I can’t stop them. Of course. It’s because it’s made in her body.
[Asshole.]
Sometimes in her own voice,
[No one likes you.]
Sometimes in the voices of parents abroad,
[The psychotic year.]
Sometimes in the voice of Jihoo, whom I love.
For the first three days, Ji-hye struggled to escape from endless hallucinations. However, all her efforts were futile, and she had no choice but to give up.
She didn’t tell Jihoo. Because if he found out, she really felt like she would be abandoned in her voice.
Just like that, terrible self-torture floods into her subconscious.
Jeon Ji-hye entered an isolated building with an academy. The old elevator here often stops, so she started taking the stairs to the 4th floor, where the academy reading room is located.
He doesn’t respond to the voice that lingers in her brain, and slowly rises step by step.
The second floor is empty as no shops have moved in. She passed the dark and dreary second floor.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
Every time her feet hit the slippery floor, her wet shoes make a grinding noise.
Beep.
With the last of her steps reaching the next floor, her periodic footsteps and gait abruptly ceased.
3rd Floor. A floor with an arcade, karaoke, and bar.
“·······.”
“Oh, hello?”
Near the window to the right of the entrance to the karaoke room, an unwelcome woman is standing.
Park So-young.
She was fiddling with her phone under her window with a cigarette in her hand. She didn’t expect Ji-hye’s appearance, so her startled face instantly turned into a soggy sneer.
“Where are you going? An arcade by yourself? Or is it an academy on the 4th floor? Or is it that… Did you really stalk Jihoo?”
Park So-young approached her classmate, who had frozen in front of the stairs, with a fishy smile.
Right.
‘You said you were going to the reading room instead of my house to study right after playing at the karaoke room.’
Jeon Ji-hye asked her question without changing her expression despite the smell of cigarettes getting closer.
“Where’s Jihoo?”
“What? Jihoo? Kick. Why are you looking for someone else’s nice guy…? Steal it again?”
“·······.”
“I’m sorry, but Ji-hoo and my Hye-eun are doing very well? If you want to act like a fox, find someone else.
Park So-young deliberately blew her cigarette smoke on the face of the woman in front of her. But her spirit of wisdom had no time for such a provocation.
[Ji-hoo is Hye-eun?]
The voice in my head gradually resembles Park So-young’s.
“I came with you today just to lighten the mood. You two are so sweet right now!”
[Today, Hyeeun will confess to Jihoo.]
Two identical voices are heard mixed at the same time.
“Wake up. The game is already over.”
[Hyeeun and Jihoo, isn’t that a skinship joke?]
Eventually, the voice on one side gradually decreases in volume and fades out.
“Now we’re alone in a small room. What’s going on? Aren’t you curious?”
[Jihoo kissed Hyeeun!]
[Did you two have sex earlier?]
[Hyeeun is pregnant. Now, the two of you will get married and live together for the rest of your life.]
Maybe it’s because it’s raining, but the night air is exceptionally cold even though it’s inside the building. It’s so cold that my brain seems to have hardened. I have no idea. Jeon Ji-hye ignores her smoky cigarette smoke or Park So-young’s fingers squeezing her own forehead, she just concentrates on the sound of her voice reverberating in her head.
“How do you feel about Jihoo being taken away? Do you understand how I feel now?”
[I stole it. It was so easy. Are you good at it?]
[They fell into temptation.]
[I will never go to you again.]
[I live alone for the rest of my life.]
No.
Jihoo was taken away need to get it back
No.
By what means?
… Somehow.
That moment,
Park So-young’s selling was transformed into Ji-hoo’s voice in an instant.
[Wisdom, I want to see you… Save me!]
Yes.
Okay.
“Wait a munite.”
“······What? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
Jeon Ji-hye raised her umbrella with both her hands and pushed the bewildered So-young Park away.
“What, what is this…!”
Park So-young was pushed behind her and her feet slipped on the wet floor, and she fell all the way to the low landing.
Kwajikㅡ Rumble Bang!
An eerie sound, like something breaking, mingled with the roar of thunder.
I succeeded…
I defeated one of the bitches who stole Jihoo!
Also I’m not wrong
Look.
By eliminating enemies like this, you can meet Jihoo again.
Jeon Ji-hye opened the door of the karaoke prison and opened the door to Jung Ji-hoo, who came out with a bright smile.
* * *
Clearly everything was as planned.
At Shin Hyeon-cheol’s counseling about his interest in Ji-hye, I instigated him to do it because if he confessed right away, he would almost succeed.
Also, I used Hye-eun, who had a crush on me, to widely spread Ji-hye’s refusal to confess.
The second year of middle school is the time when pride is the most.
Shin Hyeon-cheol drove the rumor that it was a car as an accusation that Ji-hye had hit him first.
Suddenly, Ji-hye has become a fox who is crazy about men and a bitch who gives away women’s friendship.
As a result, her dependence on me only increased as she began to isolate herself at school.
Up until this point, everything had gone smoothly.
A plan to make Jeon Ji-hye a woman who only looks at me.
From the time she was in the 5th grade of elementary school, when she started to be attracted to her, she prepared meticulously while getting to know her little by little.
Jihye, who was unfairly bullied, is a little pitiful.
But this was unavoidable.
Because she was a popular person with many men and women around her, and a girl who had no interest in dating.
It was an inevitable choice to create my own wisdom.
No problem for her as I will make her happy anyway.
At the time, I was a little conceited. Watching the classroom go so perfectly my way, I conceited that I had complete control of the situation.
I should have been a little more careful.
The shocking events of the day were accidental. At that time, I deliberately got closer to So-yeong and Hye-eun in order to make Ji-hye obsessed with me a little more.
The three of us went to a karaoke room and had fun. Then So-yeong went out to answer the phone. I thought it would be more effective to stimulate wisdom by getting closer to Soyoung than to Hyeeun, so I went outside and said I was going to the bathroom.
Wisdom stood outside the karaoke door.
She hugged me with a somewhat relieved expression, proudly revealing what she had done. After hearing her confession, I quickly went to the front of the stairs and looked down at the landing.
A mixture of her blood and brain was leaking from So-young’s broken back head.
Fortunately, the building was old and there was no CCTV. Because Ji-hye attacked So-yeong with an umbrella, there were no fingerprints or marks left on her body. In addition, it rained a lot that day and the floor was slippery, so there was a good chance that Park So-young fell alone.
I sent Wisdom home once. She climbed out of the building through the stairs on the other side and returned as far back as possible.
There was no one in the karaoke lobby. I calmly went to the bathroom, did my errands, and sang a few more songs with Hye-eun.
Several tens of minutes later, someone found the body and called 112, and we, who were in the party of the deceased, were briefly interrogated by the police in tears.
The conclusion, as expected, was ‘excessive blood loss due to slippage’. It was a really unfortunate accident.
I heard the whole thing from wisdom. I didn’t know that she could hear her hallucinations.
From then on, the process of fixing her psyche began.
I didn’t go to a mental hospital. It was because it seemed that if her symptoms were discovered by others, the already concluded Park So-young death accident would be reexamined.
Instead, I used it as an opportunity for gaslighting. As soon as she weakened, I decided to remodel her weakened mind by kneading it to suit my taste.
A few weeks later, a post was posted on Ji-hye’s private SNS.
〈♡Promise with Jihoo♡〉
1. I belong to Jihoo♡
2. Always love Jihoo and only think of Jihoo♡
3. Follow Jihoo’s words unconditionally♡
4. Jihoo is the most wonderful and perfect man in the world♡
5. I am an insignificant and insignificant woman♡
6. Cherish your virginity until Jihoo takes it away♡
7. If you have a wish or something special, say it right away♡
8. Thorough self-management♡
9. Don’t disappoint Jihoo♡
♡Never forget these♡
The seventh promise is to prevent a recurrence of this incident.
Curiously, her hallucinations disappeared soon after her murder.
A year after that, we entered the same high school as expected. There, I got to know Min Hye-rin, who is more attractive than wisdom, and Park Min-ho, who is really upright.
The day before the exam, our class was summoned to another world. I awakened the [Heaven] Attribute, and Wisdom awakened the [Death] Attribute.
And finally today, I will take her virgin.
Ji-hye is frozen in front of her door, shaking her shoulders and watching Anna’s sex with me.
Anna is nothing more than an appetizer to stir up excitement before the main game.
Ji-hye, the main dish, just stands there, not knowing which way to go, like Mia who lost her mother.
