《Call Of Death》Chapter 29 : Red
Advertisement
It's already deep at night. A man wearing a black coat, covering every skin possible, is sitting on a bench under the three. He was smirking, while watching a high school guy sitting on the swing and tears are in his eyes. He was creating a perfectly, devilish plan in his mind. This is what he both hates and loves seeing.
People suffering, he hates that very much. But when those people who are suffering had a soul as dark as a coal, he would love to watched that. He wants to see how shitty people suffer and how they struggled in life. He loves watching them being tormented and tortured. That's when he feels happy because he knows that he wasn't the only one suffering.
The man in black coat gave out a sigh as he lean his back on the bench. He crossed his legs and arms as he enjoys the twinkling tears he can barely see in the dark from their distance. He has been stalking the school boy since the morning. He felt joyous as he saw the boy's shoulder moving up and down, symbolising that he's crying. But there's one thing that annoys him, he couldn't see any of his favorite color on the student's body or things.
"Tsk! I needed my favorite color to complete my plan." He whispered to himself.
He then stood up and walked towards the student's direction. His devious expression earlier suddenly changed into a fake, friendly and innocent expression that he always used to deceived people. He smiled and sat on the swing beside the student.
"Hey, anything wrong?" He pretended to be worried but deep inside, he was happy.
"No, I'm fine." The student said without even glancing at him.
"I know life isn't easy but there are always a positive side." He said.
That's when the student looked at him. "Is there? Do you really think I could get through everything?" The student asked.
The black coat guy smiled. "Of course. I can help you ease your burdens, just tell me what your problem is." The student hesitated for a while but his fake angel-like smile managed to convince the poor guy.
In all honesty, he already know why the guy is in that situation. He knows everything about him. The truth that he is a bully victim who also became a bully to ease his feelings. He knows that two students killed themselves because of him. He knows how he told his girlfriend to get rid of their baby because according to him, he doesn't want his future being ruined by an innocent child. Now, seeing this guy suffer is like a masterpiece for him. He is enjoying every single sight of his tears.

"Well, my name is Lee Jin Hong but you can call me James, by the way." The student offered him a shake hands.
'Lee Jin Hong, what a name.' He smirked in his thought. He only know the guy's english name and he never thought that he would tell him his korean name.
"You're korean too?"
"Yes."
He accepted James' hand and said, "My name is Lee Yuhyeol but you can call me...Red." He smiled.
This is his greatest ability. He can make his victims trust him easily. He smiled as he shook the student's hand. After talking a little for some time, his poor victim finally started to open up. Although he doesn't really have to hear it because he already knew, he still chose to remain quiet and listen.
"So, what happened? Why are you crying, James?" Red asked again.
"My stepfather has been abusing me for two years since my mom left him. I felt so gross and terrible because of how disgusting he is. I've been enduring it but I'm tired." James Lee started crying again as the guy called Red tried to hide his devilish grin behind a sympathetic face.
"Your stepfather is a horrible person." He mumbled.
"Not just that, I am being bullied at my school which lead me to be one too. I bullied two other kids and that made them take their own lives. I even killed my own child when I asked my girlfriend for an abortion." The sound of guilt and regret in his voice made Red's heart jump in happiness.
"I can't blame you. Sometimes we wanted some revenge."
The student, James, swallowed hard as he shook his head. "I'm so tired with everything especially my stepfather. I'm so tired and I tried to fight back but..." He struggled to finish his sentence as he started sobbing.
He pretentiously patted the guy's back. "It's normal to get tired of people the who always hurt us, James. And when we're tired, we'll think of the ways to fight back." He mumbled.
James Lee looked at him with tears in his eyes, then he showed him his other hand and it's covered in blood! Red was amazed and his mind started to go insane again after seeing the bright red color of the blood in this guy's hand. 'Thats my cue.' That's when he decided that his plan is completed and it's time to take it to action.
"I killed my stepfather, Red. I said I won't be as violent as he is but I became a more than a monster he is." The student burst out in tears as he confessed his crime but Red just smiled like a psycho.

He spotted a big rock beside his foot and his eyes shone bright by the sight of it. Normally, he would wear his gloves so he won't leave any marks or finger prints but this time, he intentionally didn't wear it and picked up the rock.
"Oh. Don't worry, I'll help you so you won't get arrested." He said, holding tightly at his soon-to-be murder weapon.
"Really? Are you—" The poor student didn't have time to finish his sentence as the rock hit his head hard, he immediately felt dizzy and almost unconscious.
"HAHAHAHAHA! Of course! No one will arrest a dead person, right? You're going to the morgue and not to jail, boy." He laughed maniacally as he enjoyed the sight of blood dripping out of his victim's head.
"N-No, please. D-Don't kill me..." He begged but Red didn't care at all.
He knelt down and stared at the poor boy's eyes. "Oh. Only death can end suffering. I'm helping you and you're welcome." As soon as finished his sentence, he mercilessly tried to hit his head hard with the rock again until his skull was crashed and his brain was scattered but a hand stop his wrist from behind.
"Hyeol, stop." A man's voice echoed from behind.
"Jin Su, I told you not to follow me." Red said in serious voice.
"I told you not to get blood in your hands, let me finish your work here." The guy he called Jin Su stated as he took his gun out.
"What? You're gonna shoot him?"
"Why not?"
Red gave Jin Su a lifeless glare. "I'm not letting you use your gun to finish my business. Now, leave." He commanded.
"Red..."
"If you really wanted to finish my business, used this rock and put this gloves on. If I find out that your fingerprints are in this rock, you won't like it." Red said while giving him the bloody rock.
Jin Su has no choice but to put on the gloves and take the rock. He then started hitting James with it until his skull cracked and his face was pooled with blood.
"HAHAHAHA! Blood! There's blood everywhere. Another souvenir." Red felt delightful as his clothes were covered by the blood of his victim.
Red stood up as he stare down at the dead body of the student. He felt so relieved and happy. His eyes was on fire and his lips are curved into a scary, devilish grin. Then, he walked away from the place and return to where he is staying right now, leaving Ju Jin Su alone. He kept laughing while walking as he knows everyone was as stupid as they are.
"Why kept suffering if you can just die?" He laughed.
The next morning, Detective Cameron Lee and Officer Devius Chad were woken up by a call from their superior, Chief Sara Simon. The news about the student's death was already reported to them. With that, both men rushed out to the crime scene and almost couldn't recognize the victim when they saw him.
"Who found him?" Detective Lee asked one of the officer who came at the scene first.
"Detective Lee, we don't know who discovered the body. We just got a call that someone is found dead here." He responded.
Officer Chad furrowed his eyebrows. "What do you mean, Bruce? The one who reported it didn't tell his or her name?"
"No, sir but it's a man according to the operator." The officer shook his head.
"You didn't asked for it?" Devius asked.
"No, sir—"
"What no? You didn't asked?" Detective Lee asked because the answer wasn't clear at all.
"The caller told us that we'll find his name here and all we saw was the word Red but aside from that, there's no information given by him." The officer explained.
"What about the victim's identity? Did you find anything to identify him, Officer Kish?" Cameron questioned.
Officer Bruce Kish shook his head. "We haven't touched anything yet because Chief Simon said we have to wait for you and Officer Chad."
Devius and Cameron looked at each other and thanked the officer. They search the area but aside from the rock covered in blood, they found nothing else. Cameron has the feeling that it's the same culprit as the other murders but he can't say anything yet because they still have to find out what thing is the victim's missing. While he was searching, he felt his phone vibrating. He took it out and a message was sent to him.
Cameron quickly saw that it's the same number of the person who sent him a riddle yesterday. Thinking it's another riddle again, he opened it, but it wasn't a riddle anymore. It was just a message saying...
"I'm Red?" Detective Lee read in confusion.
