Change in Desire

Do you think I'm evil...? This story swivels in 4 distinct intervals of time, which co-relate to one another through the repercussions of a single fraud, residing profoundly in the following years: (Year 10, Year 11, Year 21, and the present.) This story follows a non-linear narrative writing pattern; with flashbacks that incorporate discrete and implicit viewpoints. Hope you enjoy it!

Gunmi Bear incident

Bosang village.

(Year 21)

??: "Can you hear me? I'm Chungha."

Ki Tae: "Chungha, this is the police department; state the form of your emergency."

Chungha: "I s-shifted in today... To one of the less expensive flats- and I-I just came here for an entailed check, before I buy this flat through installments."

Silence cultivates temporarily, as Ki Tae leans on his seat; listening closely.

Chungha: "Oh Lord! You need to come here quickly! There's a child in the lounge, and it doesn't feel good."

Ki Tae: "A child in the lounge?"

Chungha: "It smells weird, too."

Ki Tae: "What's the child doing?"

Chungha: "She isn't moving, and her body's positioned towards the wall. It's a girl?"

Chungha: "I can't see the- the face."

Chungha: "Should I check it out?"

Ki Tae: "I need you to get out of the room, okay?"

Chungha: "Okay-"

Ki Tae: "I need you to tell me which floor you're on, and the apartment's name. Does the owner live here as well?"

Chungha: "Yes, he lives on the first floor."

Ki Tae: "I need you to hand over the phone to the owner. Okay?"

Chungha: "I will."

Chungha: (harsh, muffled breaths are heard from the receiver, as she goes down the staircase). "Benti Flats. It's the name of the... Flat. Just give me a minute."

Suddenly, head-splitting shrieks are discerned by the receiver end.

Ki Tae: "Chungha, can you hear me? Chungha is everything alright?"

Ki Tae: Hello? This is Ki Tae from the Heite district. Chungha, don't worry. I've located your whereabout- Help is on the way. Please stay put.

Immediately faint gurgling sounds could be heard in Chungha's background. A bewildered Ki Tae presses the telephone against his burning ear.

Ki Tae: Chungha... Can you still hear me?

His voice curtails as he perceives a low murmur calling out his name.

Hello, friends!

Are you able to grasp a hold of what's going on?

It will all be clear soon, so don't worry!

Have a nice day!

Entailed means: 'involve (something) as a necessary or inevitable part or consequence."
