Lost Memories | A Liskook Adaptation

Chapter 133: I Want to Kill Part 2

He continues smoking until the whole apartment is filled with enough smoke to choke others. He's not someone who smokes often nonetheless; he coughs non-stop as he throws the cigarette butts into the trash. But he falls into a daze again by himself.

A thought inexplicably springs into his mind they are just a couple tens of meters away in an apartment hugging each other intimately.

This thought stings his heart as always. He's not someone who thinks too much or lets his imagination run wild. But right now, after today, a certain kind of stress and emotions that he has suppressed for a long time seems to be shouting to break free from control.

Probably because he's too tired, Taehyung doesn't remember when he falls asleep. And the dream he has tonight is clearer and more intense than all of the ones he has had before.

He dreams that Lisa is leaning in his embrace, looking up at him and smiling.

He dreams about her holding his hand, walking into a white colored home filled with warmth from the sunlight. She guides him toward the bed and she entangles with his body like vines and kisses every inch of him. She moans and shivers like a young beast underneath him. She stares at him with such affectionate and happy eyes. Muffled words come out between their lips. Only three words repeat: I love you, I love you, I love you......

You are so perfect like this, so how can I not love you?

Taehyung wakes up from trembling.

He realizes that it's in the middle of the night and his whole body is sticky yet soft, and comfortable. For someone who has never had any experiences with women, it's too pleasurable. But after pleasure, it's the enormous feeling of emptiness and ridicule.

It turns out that he can only have her in his dreams.

Yet he actually doesn't want to wake up from it.

Two days later.

A's real identity and facial features have finally been confirmed.

"Hwang Hyunjin, male, 24 years old, from Beijing. We can confirm that within the seven-member organization, he is the serial killer with the code name, 'A.'" Bambam still hasn't been dispatched from the hospital, so Chatterbox is responsible for gathering information and giving the brief summaries. He's standing in front of projector and is introducing the man in the photo to the Black Shield Team as well as to the other criminal investigators.

"On the morning of the 14th, Hwang Hyunjin or A, appeared at the Sichuan Building which was no more than fifty meters away from Jianfeng Building where the explosion happened. It was rush hour for work at the time and he's not an employee of the building. The surveillance camera caught him coming down from the 25th floor two minutes after the explosion. But he was wearing a mask and a baseball cap at the time, so we couldn't make out his facial features to confirm his identity."

Chatterbox moves his mouse and an image from the surveillance camera appears on the screen. The rest of the members of the Black Shield Team are sitting in the front row: Lalisa is sitting beside Jungkook and has her head up looking at the screen. The image clearly shows a man with a tall and slender body wearing a baseball cap and a blue janitor uniform walking past a corner of the building. Despite he disguises well, Lalisa can recognize him right away.

Her gaze shifts sideways and spots Taehyung with the corner of her eye unintentionally. He's sitting at the very end of the first row. Compared to the day of the explosion, he looks a lot better now. Light gray jacket, white shirt, and dark brown trousers. Besides having a bandaid on the side of his forehead and on his wrist, he's still the same elegant and refined person. And in these few days, there hasn't been much difference in their interactions. They don't mention what happened that day; they nod and greet each other whenever they bump into one another; familiar yet distant.
