Lee Ha-young (2)

After the class where I couldn't even tell whether I'd heard it with my nose or my ears ended.

Break time arrived.

Having managed to pull myself together, at least a little, I went to the classroom where Ha-young was.

"Looking for Ha-young? Just a sec— Ah, there she is."

At the mention of Ha-young, I poked my head in to check.

Ha-young was taking something out of a plastic bag and munching on it.

What had she brought in that black plastic bag?

"Ha-young—your boyfriend's here."

At her friend's call, she turned her head,

and when she spotted me, my girlfriend smiled brightly and waved.

Right. This was Lee Ha-young.

She looked exactly as I remembered her.

-Munch, munch, munch.

But if there was one difference, it was that her makeup had gotten a little heavier,

and she was taking something out of a black plastic bag and eating it.

At a glance, it looked like jelly.

Seeing Ha-young approach, I realized it really was jelly.

"Seong-min! What brings you here!"

Ha-young came over and abruptly took my hand.

That alone made all my earlier suspicions seem to disappear.

"Yeah. I just came to see you."

"Hehe. We're going on a date later."

"Still—whatever... What are you eating? Jelly?"

"Ah... Yeah, it's jelly."

Her answer had a slightly odd tone.

It only made me more curious.

"But why are you taking it out of a black plastic bag? Let me have one too."

"Oh. It's all gone. I just brought what was left at home."

"Really? Looks like you still have some."

"What? You don't believe me? I said I ate it all."

There was a strange irritation in her voice.

Ha-young normally wouldn't act like this.

"No, it's just... I was curious. Let's eat some together next time. We always used to share things like this...."

"I ate it all. I just brought what was left at home."

"Whatever, okay. We're going together after class, right? Let's walk around the park before you go to work. I made cookies too."

"Hehe. Yeah. Okay."

My girlfriend was back to her usual self.

Break time ended, so I went back to my classroom, and after a few boring classes, it was time to go home.

I went on a date with my girlfriend for about thirty minutes.

She had to go to work soon, so we couldn't stay out long.

For the entire thirty minutes, I only worried about how to bring up what my friend had told me, and before I knew it, the date was over.

"I'll enjoy the cookies, then! Thanks~!"

With that, my girlfriend took the cookies and left.

We used to walk around the park chatting, then sit on a bench and eat the cookies together, but these days she just takes the cookies home like that.

She said she wanted to eat them as dessert later while working on her assignments.

Since she put it that way, I had no choice but to hand over the whole batch of cookies.

[How to hack KakaoTalk]

When I got home, I entered the search term above into Google.

But soon, I shook my head and closed the browser.

I still wanted to trust my girlfriend.

I wasn't going to be swept away by some crazy rumor like that.

***

The next day.

I went to my girlfriend's classroom.

But then I saw Ha-young taking jelly out of the same black plastic bag I'd seen yesterday and eating it again.

Hadn't she clearly said she'd eaten it all and had none left?

She was someone who had never lied to me even once until now.

What on earth had happened?

"....."

I didn't confront her.

I simply moved away from my girlfriend's classroom and took the phone from my pocket,

then entered the exact same sentence I'd searched yesterday and skimmed through the results.

Now it was time to make a plan.

***

A week later.

After finishing my date with my girlfriend, I returned home.

I quietly stared at the KakaoTalk file containing my girlfriend's messages, installed on my phone.

"....."

A deep sense of guilt squeezed my chest.

But compared to the anxiety I felt now, that guilt was nothing.

So I wanted to be free of this anxiety as soon as possible.

I would launch KakaoTalk, skim through my girlfriend's chat history, and if I found nothing incriminating, I would delete all the files immediately.

With that resolve, I opened the KakaoTalk account I'd hacked into.

The result was shocking.

"Jeong Soo-ah.... Why is Jeong Soo-ah here?"

Jeong Soo-ah.

Ha-young had been exchanging private messages with Jeong Soo-ah.

When I double-clicked to check, I found a record of quite a lot of conversations.

The contents were even more shocking.

[Jeong Soo-ah]: Did you find a hospital? How much is the estimate?

[Lee Ha-young]: 17 million for both. But don't go cheap. It's better to use a reliable place even if it's a little expensive. You know cheap implants can be extremely harmful to your body, right?

[Jeong Soo-ah]: Wow, that fucking bastard charges a fortune. That perverted doctor who kept staring at my thighs during the consultation. Think he'd knock some off if I put out for him? LMAO

[Lee Ha-young]: Hehe, want me to help cover it? I asked Daddy, and he said he could cover yours too.

[Jeong Soo-ah]: Cover it...? You mean he'd pay for all of it?

[Lee Ha-young]: Yup, yup. I told Daddy you're a close friend, so he said he'd cover yours too. I even got his card, hehe.

[Jeong Soo-ah]: Wow, holy shit, that's amazing. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, this is seriously fucking amazing. Your Daddy is a fucking badass!! LMAO Ha-young♥ You know I fucking love you, right?♥

[Lee Ha-young]: Hehe, I know. And it's not even my money, so who cares? Have you decided on a size?

[Jeong Soo-ah]: I'm going with D. If it's too big, it'll be insanely obvious and really inconvenient in everyday life. What about you?

[Lee Ha-young]: F

[Jeong Soo-ah]: F? Isn't that way too much? LMAOㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[Lee Ha-young]: Daddy says he likes that. He said he likes the vulgar look, hehe.

[Jeong Soo-ah]: Fuck, that's insane LMAO. The more I learn about you, the more I realize you have absolutely no brakes, huh? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[Lee Ha-young]: ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[Jeong Soo-ah]: What are you up to now? Did you and Daddy enjoy your happy time?♥

[Lee Ha-young]: Yup, Daddy's in the shower. He says he's tired and is heading home early today. ㅠ

[Jeong Soo-ah]: Then come hang out with me LMAO. Let's have a smoke and go shopping.

[Lee Ha-young]: Yup, hehe. Bring me a pack too, please ㅠㅠ. I'm down to my last cigarette.

[Jeong Soo-ah]: Sure, sure, hehe. Anyway, you've become a total chain-smoker now LMAO. Seems like only yesterday you said you hated cigarettes LMAO

[Lee Ha-young]: That was when I was innocent, hehe. Back when I was a clueless little baby ㅠㅠㅠ

[Jeong Soo-ah]: Anyway, I'll get ready too LMAO. Oh, and keep next weekend free. I made a reservation LMAO. They said a really skilled woman will do it LMAO

[Lee Ha-young]: Yup, hehe. Thanks.

[Jeong Soo-ah]: But are you really getting that design? Some tattoo on your lower belly? Was it a heart with devil wings, or something else? Your Daddy's taste is so damn unique, seriously LMAO

[Lee Ha-young]: Why? Hehe. It's pretty. Sexy. It turns me on, hehe.

[Jeong Soo-ah]: That turns you on? LMAO I'd get hit with a massive post-nut clarity LMAO

[Lee Ha-young]: Yup. It's getting me wet, hehe. Even though I just showered LMAO

[Jeong Soo-ah]: You've really sunk all the way, Ha-young LMAO. I admit, your Daddy is one hell of a capable guy LMAO

[Lee Ha-young]: Hehe, hurry over~ I'll be eating cookies with Daddy.

[Jeong Soo-ah]: Ugh, fucking hell, isn't that disgusting? Your tolerance is seriously incredible LMAO

[Lee Ha-young]: Whatever, once it's in your mouth, it's all the same, hehe. We kiss while taking cookies from each other's mouths. It's easy to swallow. And it's hot.

[Jeong Soo-ah]: Eww, fuck, stop! LMAO

[Lee Ha-young]: I lick what gets on Daddy's teeth clean with my tongue, then lick off what gets on Daddy's tongue

[Jeong Soo-ah]: You crazy bitch LMAO. I'm seriously the only one who would put up with this kind of talk LMAO

[Lee Ha-young]: I lick what gets around his mouth too, hehe. And swallow cookies mixed with phlegm, hehe. Ah. I'm getting turned on. I want to do it one more time.

[Jeong Soo-ah]: You're genuinely insane. How did you become even worse than me? LMAO. Daddy really is fucking talented LMAO

[Lee Ha-young]: Hehe, take your time~ Daddy just finished showering. I should beg him for another round, hehe.

[Jeong Soo-ah]: Ugh, you filthy bitch LMAO. Make sure you shower after LMAO. I'm just eating nuclear spicy chicken ramen and heading out.

[Lee Ha-young]: ㅇㅇ

"....."

It felt as though the world had collapsed.

Could Ha-young's KakaoTalk have been hacked?

Fuck.

That couldn't be, right?

Fuck fuck fuck...............

Fuck fuck fuck. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

Fuuuuuck!!!

"Fuuuuucking hell!!!....... Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!... Ha-young! Ha...... How could you! Fuck, Ha-young!"

My emotions were beyond control.

I spewed them out raw and unfiltered, exactly as they came.

Tears streamed down my cheeks.

Snot ran from my nose, drool dribbled out, and my vision blurred.

My ears felt blocked.

Breathing became difficult.

My throat closed up, and ringing filled my ears.

Tears welled up again, blurring my vision.

The road ahead of my life had become just as blurry.

"Fuuuuuck... Ha-young....."

She was everything to me.

My everything.

"You fucking crazy perverted bastard!"

I picked up my phone.

The bastard who had turned Ha-young into this.

I was going to kill him.

[Master♥]

The guy Ha-young had exchanged messages with most recently.

This guy, saved in her contacts as Master.

The guy who had set his revolting mug as his profile picture.

This was the fucking bastard—the man she called Daddy.

"I'll kill him!!!"

I clicked on my conversation with him.

No matter how far down I scrolled, the chat history went on and on without end.

Photos and videos appeared intermittently, along with heart symbols.

Tears began to flow again, blurring my vision.

I wiped my tears with my forearm, then swiped upward on the screen again with my finger.

The chat history kept scrolling endlessly upward.

When on earth had this kind of relationship begun?

-Tap.

Let's focus on the essentials.

I pressed the [三] icon in KakaoTalk.

A chat-room drawer appeared on the right.

I clicked 'Photos, Videos' there.

"Ha............... Haha....."

Hundreds of photos and videos were gathered there.

There were hundreds of pictures showing obscene positions, obscene movements, and eyes rolled back.

My stomach churned.

I forced myself to endure this sickening feeling and swiped upward on the screen again.

Once more, the screen kept scrolling upward endlessly.

The starting point of her corruption was buried far, far back in the distant past.

With patience, I kept swiping the screen upward.

At last, I found the first video.

The face of Ha-young crying.

Her face, still innocent, filled the video's thumbnail.

My heart ached at the sight of her face crying so bitterly.

"....."

With trembling hands, I clicked the video.

And so, I came to witness the process of Ha-young's corruption.
