Chapter 130 - 6.13
Kibum was still confused when he entered his house. He was still trying to process what just happened today. He sat at the edge of his bed, thinking about what was Mr. Jeon’s real intention.
’Does he really love me? No, at least, he said he is interested in me...’
’But, what is there to be interested with? I’m as plain as an average human can be.’
Kibum glanced at his reflection in the mirror. He inspected every facial feature of his; straight nose, chiseled jawline, and double eyelids that defined his country’s beauty standard. But somehow, he always saw himself as uninteresting, bland, meh.
It was different when Taewoo took control of his body, though. His swagger and confidence made him the center of attention wherever he went. Maybe Taewoo also charmed Mr. Jeon with his smooth talk and fooled Mr. Jeon to romance him.
"It is always Taewoo who get all the good things. He is the one that is better, also the one that is well-liked by everyone. I am just a forgettable thing..." Kibum lamented on his fate. Even though this body was his, Taewoo still beat him in everything.
"But at least, I’m not a killer. I’m not the one who killed mom..." Kibum said. Although he was worse in everything than Taewoo, at least he was not a monster that everyone feared.
Kibum started getting headaches whenever he recalled how Taewoo took control over his body all of the sudden when he had a heated argument with his mother. When he woke up, police already swarmed his house. He saw his mother lying on the ground with a knife on her stomach.
Strangely, the police found evidence of burglary with many pieces of jewelry went missing, shattered windows, and a sign of struggle in Mrs. Kim’s body.
Kibum, who was questioned by the police about the incident, replied, "I don’t remember."
Kibum was only eight years old when the incident happened. He was returned to his father, and the case went cold after few years without lead.
