Description

DooSan’s POV:

“Only pain has stayed close to me over the past year. Pain and agony together—something that often makes my head feel like it’s about to crack under the weight of so many unanswered questions, questions that keep my soul bleeding. Yes, I can’t feel any different, not as long as I don’t understand why what happened a year ago, and eight years ago, had to happen. Or rather, I can’t understand SolHi and her silence.

I can’t understand why she ignores me and avoids me. Because if she truly did what she claims she did—if she really killed both my brother and her damned former colleague—then she should have looked me in the eyes, as she promised. She should have asked for forgiveness and, above all, carried out her plan: ending her life to pay for her vile deeds. And yet…

…the thought that something rotten is hidden beneath everything that happened in the past has never left me this past year. It has always been there, haunting my mind, even when my friends were gone. They betrayed me cruelly, just as the woman I loved with all my heart betrayed me—the woman I intend to force, at any cost, to pay for everything she has done.

Still, before I can reach that satisfaction, I have a long road ahead of me. I must wait, because first I need the truth—and only after that can I find answers. I want this with all my heart. It’s something I’ve dreamed of since YuSan’s death: revenge.

But this time, something is different. I don’t want revenge at any cost, nor do I want to punish the so-called guilty—the ones others point at and try to convince me are responsible. No. This time, I’ll act only as I feel. I’ll uncover the truth: who is truly guilty of the suffering that has consumed my life for years, who shattered my soul, and why. Only then will I step over souls and trample others beneath my feet. Only then will I know my revenge is complete—and only then will I finally be free.”
