Lost Memories | A Liskook Adaptation

Chapter 151: S's Spirit

In Hyunjin's heart, his memories of S is clear like a painting that never fades in color.

He clearly remembers that the first time S said those words was during dusk. The few of them were sitting at a bar counter. The bar was opened by R; it was quiet and empty. There was always a smell similar to blood permeating the air.

At the time, R was wiping glasses behind the counter with T helping him. The others were playing darts. S was in his usual suit; his shirt was unbuttoned at the top making him look more casual and gentle.

He was drinking absinthe, but his gaze was sober like the morning or moonlight.

He said, "Don't ever blame yourself. The most frightening thing in the world is not us few psychopaths, it's the majority of normal people and their desires."

Everybody was quiet. He poured another glass of wine and said slowly, "It's just that we have already lost our ability to hide our desires whereas they are able to hide theirs."

And after that, many mornings and many nights, A would think of his words and feel unbearable pain.

In the dimly lit room, the noises from the square sound as if it's right next to him.

A raises his head and looks into the camera. If anyone were to look closely, one would notice that A is showing a self-mocking smile carrying sadness. He thinks quietly by himself: it's just like what L said, and I'm not lying to you guys. Those who are about to kill you all are not us seven-member organization. At the end of the day, it's somebody among you with the greediest desires.

Jungkook, Lalisa, and Taehyung who are underground are the same. Can you see the filthiness of people's hearts now?

Therefore, this grand performance is to tell everybody one truth the mentally ill may have been born differently, but the most frightening thing is not us.

It's yourselves.

This is a memorial to S.

"Be careful!" Lalisa shouts.

But it's too late.

Kyung Jae has been running too fast and didn't pay attention to what's below him as he steps into a hole filled with water in the mud, splashing himself dirty.

Jungkook reaches out his hand and pulls him out. He smiles, "I'm fine." He kicks his feet to shake away the muddy water and wipes his face with his palm. But probably because he was putting his hand on the wall for support, his face is covered with dark dust. His handsome face becomes dirty immediately.

But he doesn't seem to care as he looks ahead and points, "It should be there!"

Jungkook and Lalisa look over at the same time.

The three of them are 2 levels underground at a faraway construction site near the edge right now. There are only dim lights above their heads. There's a corner stuffed with construction materials in front of them.

Probably because their voices can be heard, someone actually shouts from behind the pile of materials, "Help! Help! I'm over here......."

It's a woman's voice.

"The major wall over here is not up to standards," Kyung Jae explains, "so if anything happens in the future, this area will definitely be the weakest point."

He and Jungkook rushes toward the pile of materials and start to remove them. Lalisa helps them while she confirms in her head that this is the only female hostage in the clip the Peninsula Hotel Group's PR manager, Lee Yumi. They soon help Lee Yumi out of the pile.
