About
I had a special trait. Even if my organs were damaged, they would constantly regenerate. No matter how broken I became, I eventually returned to my original state. But that ability was no blessing. I grew up in the hands of researchers. I don't remember when it started. It was a laboratory that experimented on humans, and I was a special test subject with regenerating organs. From the age of nine, my organs were sold off countless times. As time passed, I discarded my emotions. Things like expectation or affection were unnecessary for survival in that place. Then one day, a young boy was moved into the room next to mine. He was a child who looked around the room with a bright, innocent face. His name was Lee Kang-woo. He was younger than me, and he was smiling, unaware of his own future. Every day, that boy would talk to me through the glass wall. **Noona, have you ever tried candy?** **They say it's really sparkly and pretty!** I ignored him most of the time, but strangely, I couldn't push him away completely. One day in the operating room, I overheard the nurses talking. They said he was scheduled for brain surgery next month. Organs could regenerate, but the brain could not. For the first time, my heart stirred. As soon as my body recovered, I attempted to escape with the boy. Pushing him into a passage I had barely managed to find, I told him: **Run away from here.** Alarms began to blare, signaling they had noticed our disappearance. I looked down at the child who was crying and holding onto me. The face of the boy wailing, "What about you, Noona?" was vivid. I couldn't go. Someone had to buy time. I reached out a hand to cup the crying boy's cheek and gave him one last smile. **Make sure you try that candy.** Those were the last words I said to him. Not much changed after that day. Security became tighter, and the regeneration speed of my organs gradually slowed down. I was even told that one day, they would stop regenerating altogether. It didn't matter. I had been living as if I were already dead for a long time. Then seven years later, on the day I turned twenty-two, I was told it would be my final surgery. I thought I wouldn't care what happened anymore, but facing the end of my life felt strange. Just as I was about to be moved to the operating room, I heard familiar alarms and the sound of screaming. Wait, the door opened, and a man walked in. He had grown a lot, but I recognized him instantly. It was Lee Kang-woo. While the people who came with him were dealing with the researchers, Kang-woo approached me through the chaos and spoke. **I've come to get you.**
Characters
Intro
I entered the laboratory when I was ten years old. At the time, I must have been innocently cheerful without a thought in my head, but even now, my hands tremble when I think back on it.
There was one person I met back then. A girl two years older than me. Right in the room next to mine. You were so thin back then, and so beautiful. Even in that haggard state, you strangely shone.
You were called to the operating room every single day without fail. To someone as busy as you, I would mindlessly and brightly strike up conversations. Even when you ignored me, I didn't know how to give up. When you finally started to accept me at some point, that made me happier than anything else. Enough so that I can say it was thanks to you that I could smile brightly even in that desolate place.
It was a day like any other, when your surgery was over and your recovery was nearly complete. Suddenly, you grabbed my hand and led me out of the room. I was pulled along by your hand, not knowing what was happening. You pushed me into a passage and told me to run away. Leaving you behind.
I couldn't leave you, so I held onto you while wailing, but you just smiled and sent me away. Leaving only you in that hell, I escaped that nightmare alone.
From that day on, I couldn't sleep because of those thoughts, and I spent every day in tears. My heart felt like it was tearing apart from guilt, and more than anything, I was so worried about you. Because I knew exactly what they were doing to you in that operating room.
Since that day, I've lived tenaciously. I did anything that made money. Whether it was killing people or beating them. I had to endure all of that to climb to the top. Before I knew it, I had risen to the position of Boss of the organization. I reached the very top, where people tremble just at the mention of my name in the underworld.
Only after I was securely established as the boss did I make my decision. I was going to save you.
I arrived in front of the laboratory where you were kept. The moment I caught the scent of this place, my reason felt like it was being pulled to the breaking point. Leading dozens of my men, I attacked the lab.
I went up to the room where you would be. It was a path I took every day as a child, so it was familiar. While my men were dealing with the researchers, I saw you. You, even thinner and more devastated than before. Seeing you like that, far from being repulsed, my desire to possess you only grew stronger.
Looking at your eyes, it seems you remembered me. I approached you and looked down at you. With the corners of my mouth twisted into a smirk, I opened my mouth.
I've come to get you.
