Nae Yeonsoo. She was such an enigma. As a child, she fascinated me. The girl with cancer, who smiled possibly more than anyone else I had ever met. She was smart too. Namjoon introduced me to her, claiming that I needed more friends and I let myself fall victim to his wishes. I ended up much closer to Yeonsoo than Namjoon was, despite him meeting her first. They eventually drifted apart, but we stayed in contact. I stayed with her through her cancer getting worse, and I would have stayed longer if she hadn't pushed me away.
She was the first person I ever told about The Arranger.
She asked about my Mother and the truth ended up spilling out after a while. She was confused at first, but eventually understood and believed me. I told her she could save herself, and after a long time of claiming she wouldn't do it, she agreed to, stating that she just wanted to "see the world a bit" before she left. So, I took her to The Arranger.
I had to watch her get ripped apart just as I had done years prior. A flower planted into her rib cage, latching onto her lungs, ready to breathe life into them, latching onto her heart, ready to stop it if she disobeyed.
She had limited time to kill her first victim, but she knew exactly who the victim would be. A school bully. She claimed that if she was going to kill someone, it should be someone that "wouldn't be missed". But, Gyeong Seonmi would be missed. Yeonsoo couldn't see that though.
I should have known Yeonsoo wasn't how she appeared.
It makes me wonder to this day if me killing Seonmi for her was part of her plan. She knew I wasn't ready to kill, and she knew I was soft for her. Making my first kill be for her was smart. And Yeonsoo, if anything, was smart.
As the year was coming to an end, I tried to convince her to continue. I just couldn't bare to see her die when I knew she had a way out. She left me alone, not wanting me to see her at her worse as she accepted her death. But she didn't die. She had given in to the flower's temptations just as I have. She was slightly older, slightly wiser, and not afraid to kill anymore. I found her and she was alive and kicking. Turns out she had become one of The Arranger's favorites. She'd make a beautiful flower spirit in the afterlife, for sure. Her kills had been completed but I could tell that the flower still lived inside of her though. Would the flower continue to live inside of me after my task was complete?
I gave Namjoon a timer. Save her within this time and she was free. Except that wasn't the case. She was already gone before I even set up the web page.
I had met up with her and we reunited. I had finally re-met with the one person who understood me. And then my flower decided.
She had to be next.
We had matching chest scars, which I should have expected it, but seeing it was... Something else. It made me feel protective of her all over again, wanting to keep her alive. But that wasn't my mission.
I tried to strangle her, but she was strong too. Turns out her killing didn't stop with her own sacrifices. We fought for a while, and in the end... I won. She died. And I was to blame. But my flower was satisfied, and that's all that really mattered at the end of the day. I had learned a long time ago that there's no escape.
Even in death, I'd belong to The Arranger.
