Chapter 4
Chapter 4
An 18-year-old boy, standing alone on the edge of this world, will usher in his 19-year-old in one day.
But this world was too cruel to him, and gave him a sweet dream, in which he wandered in fairy tales with his first love.After waking up, there was only one photo left on the boy's hand.Those beautiful stories, love and dreams, all turned into rotten waste, turned into that photo.The bright smiling face in the photo is laughing at the boy.Stupid, where is there any rebirth, where is there any miracle, it is all your ridiculous fantasy and illusion.You are pitiful.
There were heart-pounding footsteps in the distance, and Hwang Min-hyun was walking towards here with a bouquet of flowers.When he saw Pei Zhenying, he stopped in his tracks.As usual, black hair, black coat, exactly like the face in the photo.It's just that Hwang Min Hyun's eyes are extraordinarily sharp, those eyes that Pei Zhenying has never seen before.
"...Jin Young."
Bae Jin Young is standing like a ghost at the moment, in fact, he wishes he was a ghost, so that he can disappear from Hwang Min Hyun's eyes immediately.The same is true for Hwang Min-hyun, if you come by a later train, if you have a meal on the way and enjoy the beautiful sea view, if you walk slower, if you help the old lady with heavy luggage, if you ask Foreigners leading the way...wouldn't it be possible to meet Pei Zhenying, not to be at a loss to face this face of thinking day and night, wanting to complain but can't bear it.
"How will you be here...."
"Brother, you know everything, don't you?"
"..."
"That's why you're coming to me, isn't it?"
Pei Zhenying, this annoying kid, what did he do right, how could he look at himself with such a resentful expression.Huang Minxuan had convinced himself countless times that the whole incident had nothing to do with Bae Jinyoung, but he just appeared in front of him, and smashed his fantasy crystal ball in front of Huang Minha.
"Just found out not long ago."
"Brother hates me very much now, doesn't he?"
Bae Jinyoung heard his own voice echoing in the whole space, Hwang Minhyun's face was pale, as if he wanted to merge with this place, which made him feel scared.Even if the person in front of him hates him, Pei Zhenying still loves him.However, why did Hwang Min Hyun look at him with those sad eyes, but his face was expressionless.
"Well, hate it."
Hwang Minhyun holding a white flower is very elegant and dazzling.Pei Zhenying walked towards him unknowingly, grabbed his arm as if attracted by gravity.Huang Minxuan blinked involuntarily, Pei Zhenying knew that every time he was nervous, he would blink.
"Brother Minhyun, I know I'm an asshole, and I know I'm not qualified to say such things. But please give me one chance, just one time, please listen to my explanation."
"..."
"Although it's selfish, I really don't want to be hated by my brother. I know that no matter what I explain, I'm a jerk. So from now on, it doesn't matter if I don't see you again. What I say goes in your left ear and out in your right ear." It's okay, but please listen to me, please, trust me."
"..."
"Minha and I dated, but it was actually a deal. Minha likes me, but I don't like women. Minha has a good personality, but she was pushed out by the children because of poverty. I wanted to help her, so we got together. .Minha always smiles in front of me. I thought she would be happy when things got better. Sometimes she was injured, but she only said that it was caused by her own wrestling. When I can't see it, I bully her even more."
"..."
"I didn't know that they would throw Minha into a pornographic place and be spoiled by those wretched uncles. I didn't know that the injuries on her body were caused by the violent beating when she escaped. I never dreamed that she was pregnant because of that." I never even dreamed that the blackmail message I received from Minha was sent from her mobile phone by the group of children who tied her up. The message said, if I don’t pay the settlement fee, I will tell the whole world That was my child. At that time, I really hated Minha, I hated her for using me, and I began to believe that she was what the children said, the undisciplined woman. Although I didn't know anything, I still committed the unforgivable sin."
"..."
"That day Minha told me that she was pregnant and asked me to help her. But I didn't listen to a word she said, and I didn't feel her despair and grief. She grabbed my hand and begged me to believe it. She, listening to her explanation, I shook those hands away. And then that day, she didn't say a word, just died like that."
"..."
"It's all my fault. If I choose to believe her, maybe she won't die. When I heard that she climbed up to the roof, I felt bad, so I climbed up too. I begged her there , I said that I would like to listen to her explanation, trust her, and tell her not to do stupid things. I asked her to come to me and finish what she wanted to say to me. However, she jumped down so resolutely, and finally even I don’t even want to look at me. I missed her hand, that’s right, it’s all my fault, I don’t have any excuses. Brother Minhyun, I still want to tell you, after listening to this, it doesn’t matter if you continue to hate me.”
Bae Jin Young was trembling nervously, and this nervousness was conveyed to Hwang Min Hyun through his hands.He said these words in a very earnest voice, uncovering the memories buried by him bit by bit.Hwang Min Hyun didn't speak all the time, just listened quietly, as if he didn't even breathe.It's just that as Pei Zhenying's speech became longer, the air around him began to cool down.After Pei Zhenying finished speaking, there was a long silence.Then, the face in front of him began to smile again, showing a smile as cruel as ice flowers.
"Jane Young."
"elder brother."
"Min-ho didn't die because of you, the real villain was someone else. You don't know anything, do you?"
Hwang Min Hyun's expression is calm, calm, calm and composed.All the words used to describe static in this world can describe his appearance at that time.
"But Jinyoung, even if you're not the culprit."
"..."
"Before Min Ha died, you should have been the person I hated the most."
That's right, it is.So for so long, this incident has been tormenting Pei Zhenying, making him live in a long nightmare.Bae Jin Young let go of the hands holding Hwang Min Hyun's arm, he felt that he had become a sinner through the ages and was not qualified to contact him.
"So, brother has the right to hate you, right?"
In my Hwang Minhyun life, in this life full of misfortune and despair, I can hate someone as I like, right?Bae Jin Young, I hate you, I hate you whom I love.It's like ignoring all your calls and texts after a sweet kiss with you.Among the many beautiful flowers, you with poisonous thorns are the most eye-catching. I want to reach out to carry a ray of your fragrance, but my fingers are hurt by your thorns. I hate you like this.It's not your fault, but plaintive you annoy me.Although you are not wrong, the fact that you can make Min Ha alive with a single sentence, I hate it.
"If it wasn't for you, there might be a happy marriage between us."
Pei Zhenying's heart sank.Yes, he is not qualified to be loved by Hwang Min Hyun, let alone long for love.As soon as he understood this, the heart began to drop due to gravity, and like the death of the child, the last remaining hope died with it.As Hwang Min Hyun said, if it wasn't for him, they could be a happy marriage, maybe lovers.
Huang Minxuan gave the flower in his hand to Pei Jinying, and Pei Jinying couldn't accept it intuitively, which was a signal of parting.But if you don't pick it up, you may regret it for the rest of your life.Hwang Min Hyun was still so pretty when sending flowers, but so indifferent.
"Congratulations to you Jinyoung, happy 19 years old."
After saying this, Hwang Min Hyun disappeared.
Like a curse, during Pei Zhenying's 19 years, he was never seen again.
The new tutor came, and Pei Danyun joked that he was not as handsome as the old teacher Huang.
When Bae Jinyoung called Hwang Minhyun again, it was already a stranger's voice.Hwang Min Hyun just changed his phone number.Bae Jinyoung has always been unwilling to believe this fact. It was not until a long time later that he turned on his phone and saw that in the dialog box saved as "Teacher Bae Danyun", the avatar had been replaced by a stranger's face. He finally understood that Hwang Minhyun disappeared. They may never see each other again, they have become people who have no intersection at all.
Pei Zhenying felt that if he didn't find someone to cry about all this, he would go crazy.Among friends, the only one who knows about his relationship with Hwang Minhyun is Youzhen, and Youzhen still likes Bae Jinyoung, but they decided to be good friends.Pei Zhenying cried and told all the stories in front of Youzhen. He cried all night. Seeing Zhenying like this, Youzhen also cried.
In this way, a year passed.
For one year, Pei Zhenying went to cram school after school, studied until early in the morning before going home to sleep, and went to school again when she opened her eyes in the morning.Like all ordinary 19-year-old boys, he played with his friends, ran towards the cafeteria during lunch time, and ran towards the small shop during recess.So through spring, summer, autumn.In the blink of an eye it was winter again, Bae Jinyoung grew a lot taller, the first kiss that winter, the temperature of Hwang Minhyun's palm, the sound of Hwang Minhyun calling his name, Hwang Minhyun's beautiful smile, a year has also followed the changes of the seasons.
The 19-year-old who was cursed by Hwang Min-hyun is actually happier than Bae Jin-young imagined, because as long as you don’t think of Hwang Min-hyun, you will be happy. For Bae Jin-young, this is the biggest curse.
In this way, Pei Zhenying became an adult.
He has been resisting the coming of adulthood, but at this moment he is much calmer than he imagined.
"Brother, congratulations on your graduation."
Pei Danyun sent Pei Zhenying a garland.
This was a very noisy graduation ceremony. Bae Jinyoung took the most photos since he was born, leaving bright smiling faces in all the frames, as if all the 19 years of his life since he was born were full of happiness, showing no flaws Ushered in his 20 years old.
Unfortunately, Pei Zhenying was admitted to Y University in the end.
When his family persuaded him to fill in the economics major of Y University, he strongly refused.After secretly revising his choice without telling his family, Father Pei was so angry that he didn't speak to him for a week.Except Y University, Pei Zhenying applied to almost all universities.
However, he still waited for the notice of passing the supplementary enrollment of Y University, and finally became a freshman of Y University.Therefore, Bae Jinyoung had to walk the path that Hwang Minhyun had walked, and stay in the space where Hwang Minhyun might still exist to continue studying, as if it was fate, and it was difficult to escape from everything about him.
"Oh, Pei Zhenying has completely grown into a college student."
Spring is here, and it was Yujin who struck up a conversation with Bae Jinyoung who was waiting for the bus.Youzhen was asked by her family to repeat her studies. If she failed to pass the women's college entrance examination, all her financial resources would be cut off.Those who devote themselves to study are really haggard, but the face without makeup is still very beautiful.
"What, Park Yoo-jin, are you only going to college now? Repeaters should have the attitude of repeaters, and should start studying before dawn."
"Tch, your tone of voice is really Pei Zhenying's style."
"Are you praising me?"
"Of course I'm scolding you, saying that you can't talk and want to beat you."
"Which car are you taking? If we go to Noryangjin, do we go in the same direction?"
"I take bus 360."
"I'm also taking that train, let's go together."
"But Yeouido happens to be the Cherry Blossom Festival right now, and there's a lot of traffic jams. You'd better take the subway."
I really feel that Bae Jinyoung is completely different from the one she was a year ago.On the surface, I tried my best to pretend that nothing had happened, but I always felt that my whole person was empty, as if a part of my soul had been hollowed out.Pei Zhenying began to frequently appear in churches that he had never been to before. Although he himself joked that he suddenly believed in the existence of God, he really felt that it was because Pei Zhenying could not be disturbed by anyone during the time when the priest was preaching. Sitting alone for a long time in a daze.
Watching Pei Zhenying go away in the direction of the subway, Youzhen also got on the bus.After arriving at Noryangjin Station, while waiting for the green light at the zebra crossing, Yuzhen was attracted by a tall man wearing a black hat on the opposite side.Even though the brim of the hat was pressed down very low, Youzhen knew that he was a very handsome man.But why do you wear the hat so low? Are you an artist?
When the green light turned on, Youzhen walked towards the man.The moment she passed by, she smelled the fragrance of cherry blossoms on the man's body.Suddenly, the man stopped, turned his head to look at Youzhen, and then left again.
I really thought, he is really a strange person.
"Is it our comic boy freshman?"
"It's really goosebumps, don't call me that in the future."
"The cherry blossoms are all in bloom, but it's a pity that no one will accompany me to see them. Why don't we two lonely people just get together to enjoy them?"
"...If you don't want me to talk to you anymore, just go ahead."
In the third year of university, Ong Seong Wu spent two very melancholy years in the army because of the sudden military order.After returning to school and resuming classes, he was known for "taking care of the juniors very much" at the school, and he aimed at Pei Jinying from the welcome party for freshmen.
"Look at that kid, he looks like the character in the manga. Just the one in "Cardcaptor Sakura", Li Xiaolang, is really a man who is a man, a man who is a man."
As a result, Pei Zhenying became a man of the politics department.I don't know if it's because Bae Jin Young's reaction to this title is so cute, Yong Seong Wu likes to tease him like this every time.Pei Zhenying felt that although this senior was a bit troublesome, he often brought him various delicious snacks and taught him some practical learning methods. Overall, he was considered a good senior, so Pei Zhenying often stayed with him.
"Our Zhenying is becoming more and more handsome every day, and if this continues, he will become a legend of Y University."
...Of course, except when he talks nonsense like this.
Pei Zhenying ignored him and walked straight to the classroom.Ong Seong Wu kept chattering next to him, and it was hopeless that they were still in the same elective class.The course that Ong Seong-woo took again was the one he had failed countless times in the education course before he went to the army.
"But having said that, our school really once had a legendary figure."
"Okay, I see, it's you, right?"
"No, it's Hwang Minhyun."
Pei Zhenying felt his heart stopped beating and stopped walking. He heard a name that he shouldn't have heard.
"Hwang Min Hyun was very famous at the time, he was a big star in the school. He always occupied the school's SNS hot spot and the focus of girls' attention. In order to be able to take the same elective class as him, he even caused chaos in the whole school during the course selection. I heard that he I also took the liberal arts class, and I only found out after I took this class. But when I came back from the army, I heard that Hwang Minhyun dropped out of school suddenly, which caused quite a stir. It was originally decided that he would be the next class The chairman of the student union of the School of Economics suddenly said that he would not study. It is said that it was because of an accident at home. All the projects in the competition had to be terminated. At that time, there were many rumors, some said that he was married with a son, and some said that he was scouted to become an artist, but why didn't you leave? Is it someone you know?"
It's really funny, what kind of family does Huang Minxuan have, what else can happen in his family.Living such a gorgeous college life, but there is no friend who can talk to each other.He is a good man to everyone, an excellent student of the teacher, and a senior respected by the younger generation, but he has no friends.In all his superficial relationships, just being a nice guy.
"I don't know, I just heard of it."
"It really is a legend, even high school students know it."
"What a wonderful man."
Hwang Min Hyun is indeed an amazing person, but Pei Jin Young said it from another angle.
"No one can contact him, everyone thinks this person has evaporated."
"..."
"Hey, I'm late, hurry up and run."
Hwang Minhyun, you are amazing.Where are you now, have you seen the cherry blossoms blooming in Yeouido, have you missed me, can you forgive me now.If you forgive me, why haven't you appeared in front of me?The pain I'm going through, have you ever considered it?Are you dead or alive now?
Bae Jinyoung's heart was hit by Hwang Minhyun's name, and now it hurts badly.No matter how much time has passed, just hearing the name still makes my heart flutter.Just like the throbbing feeling when he tasted American coffee for the first time because of his self-esteem in the winter when he was 18 years old.
I thought I would never welcome it, but Pei Zhenying's 20-year-old spring came just like that.
#News at 8 o'clock in the evening on that spring day
"The serial murder case in Seocho-gu has happened again. It is reported that the victim is a 20-year-old Choi, the eldest daughter of the representative director of F Group. Because the body is seriously damaged, it took a long time to confirm the identity. The family members are now immersed in grief, and hereby express their condolences to the deceased. For details, let us invite Professor Zhu Yingmin, an expert in criminal psychology, to explain to you. Professor Zhu, hello."
"Hi everyone, I am Zhu Yingmin who is in charge of investigating this case. We have come to the conclusion that this case is similar to the killing of the grandson of the Y Group that happened a few months ago. The murderer of the Grassland Serial Murder Case."
"The serial murder case in Seocho District that you mentioned, the commonality of the victims is that they are all related to the chaebol family. What's your opinion on this?"
"First of all, based on the unprecedented cruel method in which the victims all fell to their deaths from heights, we suspect that the murderer is a psychopath, and most likely a sexual pervert. But judging from the victims, not only men, Also, no signs of rape were found on the female victims, so we ruled out sexual perversion as a possibility."
"Then what is the reason to conclude that the murderer is a man? And is there conclusive evidence that the victim did not commit suicide but homicide?"
"As I said before, among the victims were males who weighed more than 70kg, and they were very muscular. It would be difficult to forcibly take the victim to a high place if the murderer was a woman. Of course, we don't Be sure, everything is just speculation. The murderer's plan is very careful, he destroyed the monitoring equipment, destroyed all the evidence, and we can't even get his approximate body value, this is a very rare perfect crime, it can be seen that the murderer has an IQ A very tall man. All he left us is his footprints. These two footprints are enough to prove that he killed him, but we can't get any information about him from the footprints, because the sizes of the two footprints are different. The murderer's mind is very Meticulous, but constantly using repeated methods to commit crimes, the possibility of 'intentional' is very high."
"Does it mean that the murderer deliberately used the same method to commit the crime?"
"It should be said that this is a sign. The four victims are all grandsons related to the chaebol. This series of cases may be revenge killings. Generally speaking, murderers with high IQs are repeatedly using the same method to kill Sometimes, there will be a high probability of disturbing the murder to interfere with the police investigation. But in this case, the murderer did not have such a situation, at least so far, there has been no unexpected method of murder."
"Then why would he choose to do this?"
"It's a message, a message is conveyed by committing a crime. I'm here, let me execute you."
