CHAPTER 5

Dae Hyun lay on his bed, looking up at his ceiling, he couldn't stop thinking about his new fun apart from killing people, he let out a sinister chuckle as he remembered that he knew the location of her house.

.....

Min Hye tried her best to avoid Dae Hyun as much as possible, he seemed to read her mind and he somehow understood her which made her anxious.

She had wanted to find someone like her not that she believed in love, someone who could understand and accept her for who she was, but didn't really put her hope into it but now she had found him, maybe, but she couldn't quite fully open up to him yet, she wanted to get to know him better but she knew that her fellow coworkers had started talking but she couldn't care less.

She walked briskly to her office after hearing some women backbiting her in the women's restroom.

"She probably fucked him to get the position." She overheard a lady say as she wanted to exit one of the toilet cubicle but didn't and stopped, she wasn't sure it was her they were talking about but she wanted them to leave without knowing she over heard them.

"I wouldn't be surprised. With her looks of course what do you expect?" She heard another lady whisper but loud enough for whoever was there to hear.

"They prefer using their pussy to get what they want, she cant work for it." The first lady said and they snickered.

"She probably did plastic surgery." The lady continued.

"But I got so jealous since it was Dae Hyun, I wish I was his secretary, I would give him anything." She recognized the voice, it belonged to Ha Na.

"You're a slut like her its not surprising...Whats her stupid name again?" One of the lady asked and before her question could be answered, Min Hye barged out of the cubicle and replied with a sharp voice and her poker faced expression.

"Its Min Hye." Their eyes widened and their mouth slightly parted as they immediately lowered their head with faces washed in shame but Ha Na glared at her instead. She turned to leave but stopped in her footsteps as she reached the door and turned around facing them. "For your information I was born really pretty, so I don't have to look like a masquerade with heavy make up on." She said locking her gaze with Ha Na and then briskly walked out on them.

....

Dae Hyun was on his way to his office when he met Min Hye in her work cubicle with eyes fixed on her laptop with a serious expression.

"Min Hye." He called and she looked up at him as if she just noticed his presence.

"Yes sir." She said getting up, even while wearing heels, she barely reached his shoulder length.

"Lets have dinner together...I really don't care about what people say." He said with a smouldering look on his face.

"I overheard some female workers spread rumors that I'm having sex with you...so why not?" She said with a mischievous grin on her face, it was the first time he saw her smile but he wasn't sure if it was a genuine one.

He let a dark chuckle escape his lips.

"we'll go straight from work?" He asked and she nodded.

Few hours later, he saw Min Hye walk briskly into his office.

"Sir, the police are here. It seems like they're questioning people about a worker's death." She informed and for a split moment his eye darkened as his lips turned up in a sarcastic smirk.

"Let them in." He ordered and she did.

As soon as the two middle aged policemen walked in, Min Hye saw his expression switch immediately into a serene one. He got up and bowed slightly as he greeted them.

"Hello, we're police officers and we're here to ask you some few questions about Chan Yeol." The younger looking one said, trying to intimidate him as much as possible but he didn't flinch.

"I'm aware of that, what do you want to know?" He said his expression as blank as paper.

"How close were you and Chan Yeol?" The younger officer asked. Dae Hyun adjusted his glasses on his bridge as he replied,

"He always looked up to me as his mentor, should I say as much as a role model even, respectful kid." The older police officer fixed his eyes on him as if trying to see through him but Dae Hyun completely ignored him.

"You two must have been close then." The older police officer added in, Dae Hyun smoothly averted his gaze to him.

"Not quite." He replied with a sad smile.

"He was last seen at the bar but the owner said you both were the last to leave ." The older police officer concluded and Dae Hyun's smile dropped replaced by a blank look.

"I ordered a cab for him because he was quite drunk." He said.

"So why were you the last to leave?" The officer asked.

"Didn't I just tell you? I called a cab." He replied, his expression still blank.

"Ahh OK." Dae Hyun knew the officers were trying to intimidate him but he was never intimidated by anyone or anything, he was dead inside holding no emotion. The police officers finally left. To them, the director wasn't a suspect, he couldn't be.

"pathetic bastards!" He cussed under his breath as a devilish grin tore through his face.

Min Hye knocked on the door and he let her in.

"Did the police come in for questioning? You didn't have to let them in, they had no warrant to question the employees." Min Hye stated professionally as his secretary but he just looked at her and smiled revealing his perfectly white teeth making him look even more puzzling, she just couldn't understand what was going on in his mind.

"Why not? Its fun when they ask stupid questions, it just reminds me how much of a god I am." He said with a sarcastic smirk and Min Hye wondered what ran through his mind, she realized that he made people see what he wanted them to see but wondered more why he showed her his real side which she oddly found fascinating.

"Ahh I'm really sorry about this but I have to take care of something tonight, so lets postpone our dinner." He said with an apologetic look on his face, his emotions and expressions didn't look fake or masked up and she realized that was what made her feel a pull towards him, but when he spoke to other people, it felt like he was wearing a completely different mask.

"its fine." She said with a smile on her face that disappeared almost as quickly as it came.

"I'll treat you to a nice meal next time." He said with a smile and bright grey eyes staring into hers and she thought they were beautiful, for the first time truly, she saw him as the gorgeous man that he was and she immediately mentally slapped herself as she exited his office.

Everyone dispatched to their various houses after the close of work and Dae Hyun walked hurriedly to Min Hye who was already walking away.

"I'll drop you home." He offered and she nodded. They drove in silence until he reached her house, weirdly they enjoyed each other's silence and it was oddly comfortable.

"Thank you for the ride." She said and he nodded. He watched her till she left his vision before he drove off with a maniac smile plastered on his face.

He drove to the bar where they had drank with Chan Yeol last and waited in his car patiently for hours till late night when the place was empty and the owner had put on the 'closed' sign on the window. He got off his car and put on a black hat and mask with gloves on and walked into the store.

Miss Tan, the owner of the bar, a middle aged woman saw the mysterious man walk into her bar even with the 'closed' sign clearly visible on the window.

"The bar is already closed." She said in a slightly panicked tone. The mysterious man walked slowly towards her and she took a step back wards in panic,she instinctively turned to run but his muscular hand got hold of her and he placed his strong arms around her neck, she opened her mouth to scream but it shut close with a swift movement of his hand on her head twisting it viciously and her neck snapped, her bones pierced through the skin of her neck and blood jetted out of it, he pushed her aside like a rag doll and set to leave with a satisfying grin on his face as he looked at the lifeless body.

Dae Hyun turned to leave when he heard a girl's voice inside the bar.

A girl about 17 years of age in a school uniform came out holding a burger.

"Mom where is my....." Her sentence trailed off when she saw her mother's bloody body on the floor with her broken neck and her bone sticking out of it, she looked up to find a tall built man towering over her mother's body, she dropped the item on her hand with face turned pale from horror, her mouth parted but words couldn't escape it. She stood glued to the ground whimpering in fear as she watched the strange man take off his mask slowly, revealing a sinister grin on his face.

"Don't run or I'll make your death painful." Dae Hyun warned but she did not heed his warning. He watched her run as fast as she could further into the bar since he was standing at the exit door.

She was out of sight but there was no where to run to without him seeing her and she had dropped her phone in fear so there definitely was no help for her.

He grinned like the devil himself as he searched every corner to find her. He had checked everywhere and the storage room was the last stop, he opened the door which made a creaking sound, as soon as he entered the room, he heard her shaky breaths and quiet sobbing. A creepy smile crept up on his lips making him look nothing less than a bloodthirsty maniac.
