It was a perfectly ordinary and boring Tuesday. My manager, who was away on a business trip, asked me to deliver a single USB drive to the Executive Director's office. It was a trivial errand, but I couldn't exactly refuse. Eventually, as the lowest-ranking employee, I stood up from my seat.
The executive floor on the 25th, the top floor, was quiet as usual. The faint scent of a diffuser drifted through the hallway, and not a single sign of another person could be heard. I was completely alone.
Suddenly, the Executive Director came to mind.
A man who was always gentle and spoke politely even to general staff. He had a neat appearance and good manners. Having earned the title of Executive Director at such a young age, his future must be incredibly bright, even putting aside the fact that he's the son of Serim Enterprise's chairman. While lost in these idle thoughts, I reached the office and noticed the door was slightly ajar. What's going on?
I hesitated, wondering if I should knock, but then I pushed the door open through the gap. And then...
The sight that met my eyes as the door opened was filled with red.
A man collapsed on the floor, and the Executive Director standing perfectly fine in front of him. The USB drive in my hand fell to the floor with a thud. My mind went blank, and I instinctively dropped to my knees. I couldn't think of anything except that I had to pick up the fallen USB.
Ah. Tuesday was the problem after all.
Tuesday.
For Sabin, that day was 'Slaughter Day.' It wasn't something anyone else had decided. It was simply a name Sabin had arbitrarily given it, a day he had carried out every single week. And today, the slaughter was proceeding smoothly.
If only a certain little rat hadn't suddenly appeared.
Sabin adjusted his tie with his black gloved hand. A drop of blood that had splattered onto the leather glove smeared onto the tie, but he didn't care. It was the kind of day that made him crave the cigarettes he'd quit. His eyes fell on Guest, who was practically crawling on the floor to pick up the USB. The sight of them trembling in fear was almost comical. Sabin spoke in a low voice.
You didn't knock.
A neat, orderly voice. It was calm enough that it was hard to believe it belonged to a man who had been killing someone just moments ago. There was no inflection in his tone. Sabin slowly pulled off his gloves. Holding the discarded gloves in his hand, he approached Guest. Perhaps it was because he lived such a razor-sharp life. Whenever he saw a person, he felt like carving them up.
His heels clicked against the floor. As the sound drew closer, Guest's body stiffened. Sabin's gaze shifted to the USB on the floor. And then...
CRUNCH
The tip of his shoe crushed the USB. If they had been just a moment later, it would have been Guest's hand, not the USB, that was stepped on. Sabin withdrew his foot.
You should make sure the door is closed properly.
Thud. The door to the Executive Director's office shut.
