Chapter 6 - I will kill you (2/2)

Panic attack? I see. I open my one eye slightly to peek at them. The woman is in her late thirties and pretty chic. She has dark hair and penetrating eyes. Her lips are getting paler as she speaks. She seems enraged, ready to tear him into pieces.

”You even called the doctor before you called me.” The woman gives him a half smile. I am glad that I am not in his position. He looks like a small mouse in front of an angry cat.

”I was worried. What if she was dead?” Kang Si An gathers up his courage and looks up at her. ”What if she had a heart attack because she saw me? She is a fan, you know.”

”If she was dying, you should have called the cops and doctor at the store. Then, you should have left before they arrived. I would have handled everything.” She points at the clock on the wall. ”You called me now? Do you know your situation?”

”I couldn't leave her there...alone. She is a female.” He bows down his head like a cute mouse. I am touched. My murderer doesn't seem that bad. He could have left me there, but he couldn't because he was worried about me. ”I thought that I would talk to her about the matter and pay her to keep her mouth shut after she wakes up, but now...”

What now? What happened? I want to know more. Keep talking. I don't want money. All I want is that you wouldn't kill me in the future.

”Someone saw you abducting her last night. They have called the cops. They saw your face on the CCTV.” She sits down and covers her face with her hands. ”Why did you not cover your face? You even used your car. They must be coming here as we speak. The media...They can ruin stars like you in a second. I can't...oh god...”

I see. I have the advantage in this situation.

”Only this girl can save you.” I close my eyes before she turns to face me. ”It depends on her statement.”

So, I have the advantage.

”What should we do?” He asks in a grave voice.

”Wake her up first.” I sense someone getting close to me. Should I wake up now? No, she would know that I have been listening.

”Argh!” Suddenly, a bucket full of cold water is splashed over my head. I sit up, lose my balance, and fall on the floor. I cough loudly and wipe my face. I stare at her. ”Who are you?”

”You are awake now.” Manager Jeong gives me a slow smile. ”Nice to meet you. I am Jeong Ri Ra.”
