Chapter Title: The Yandere Fairy's Gaze is Strange
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The night air was chilly, but the city's lights had yet to fall asleep.
Isia stepped silently out of the taxi and stood before her front door.
Ring ring ring ring ♬
She punched in the passcode and opened the door, met by a familiar scent and heavy silence.
Without turning on the lights, Isia walked straight into the darkness. She quietly set down her clutch bag and approached the living room window, drawing back the curtains.
Shwaaa─
Beyond the glass, the city nightscape glittered as brilliantly as ever.
The countless twinkling lights might be a beacon of hope to some, but to her right now, they felt like nothing more than cold, distant gleams.
Isia.
No, her true name was the Sia Fairy.
She slowly brushed her hair behind her ear and gazed at her reflection in the mirror.
'A bunch of idiots with nothing but sex on their brains...'
Every time someone praised her beauty, the Sia Fairy's anger would surge instead.
A transcendent appearance that humans idolized as exquisite.
But to her, it was nothing but an annoying shell.
'...What's so great about this damn looks anyway.'
The Sia Fairy squeezed her eyes shut and slowly drew out memories she'd sealed away for so long.
Her sister, Sua Fairy—the one she respected and loved.
She had always been so pure and radiant.
Her smile felt so warm and gentle, like flower petals scattering in the air around her.
To the Sia Fairy, Sua Fairy was like the light of the world itself.
But.
One day, Sua Fairy fell in love with a human and abandoned her life as a fairy.
"S-Sis! You can't go!"
"I have no choice. They've already found out I got involved with a human."
"No way..."
"But the human man chose me. I could've vanished right then and there, so it's a relief."
The Sia Fairy was furious at the fact that Sua Fairy was abandoning her for a human.
"How could you do this to me, Sis?"
"Isia, I'm sorry..."
"Forget it. Just get out of my sight already!"
And so.
Three years passed.
Around that time, the Sia Fairy's heart, trembling with betrayal, began to change.
'Yeah, Sis's happiness comes first.'
The Sia Fairy descended to the mortal world.
To apologize to Sua Fairy, even now.
However.
That reunion was a nightmare.
A shabby alley, a tiny house.
Inside the dark home, the Sia Fairy found Sua Fairy collapsed on the floor.
A fresh red mark stained her cheek, dried blood crusted at her mouth.
"Sis!!"
At her cry, Sua Fairy barely opened her eyes.
Those eyes mixed joy with deep shame.
"I should've just vanished back then..."
With those words, Sua Fairy began spilling everything that had happened.
The more she heard, the more the Sia Fairy's eyes reddened with rage.
"That human... dared to hit you? I'll find him and kill him."
With that, the Sia Fairy stormed out of the house.
But she would regret that moment for the rest of her life.
A few days later, when she returned, Sua Fairy lay cold as a corpse.
"N-No, Sis!!!"
In the bedroom, on pristine white sheets, Sua Fairy lay straight and still.
Beside her was the man's body, stiff and cold, marked with bloody traces.
Click─ click─
The Sia Fairy entered the bedroom with heavy steps. Sua Fairy lay with eyes peacefully closed.
Her pale face, tightly pressed lips, and a note clutched in her hand.
With trembling fingers, the Sia Fairy unfolded it.
─I couldn't let you kill a human because of me. So I decided to end this hell myself.
Isia, I'm always sorry, and I love you.
As she read the note, the Sia Fairy's eyes shook violently.
"Sniff, sob... Why did you have to die too, Sis...?"
She bit her lip until blood welled up.
'Humans... I'll... destroy them all...'
From that day on, the Sia Fairy traveled between the fairy realm and the mortal world, preparing her revenge on humanity.
Not through outright murder, but by ruining them exactly as they had ruined Sua Fairy.
For that, she used her appearance as 'bait.'
Leading human men down the path to ruin was laughably easy.
Pretending to be human, she frequented places teeming with men.
Clubs, cooking academies, even pretentious galleries where they showed off their 'artistic' sides.
As expected, countless men approached her.
But.
The Sia Fairy never treated a single one sincerely.
Instead, she exploited their weaknesses.
She captivated their hearts, dangled hopes and expectations, then shattered them all.
Some embezzled company funds because of her.
Others broke off engagements with their lovers.
Still others were cut off from their families.
And then she vanished.
Always without a word.
Bzzz.
Bzzz.
Her phone buzzed at that moment.
The caller was Han Haeseong.
She leaned back on the sofa, crossed her legs, and tapped the call button with a fingertip, forcing a bright tone.
"Hello?"
"Yes, this is Han Haeseong. I saw you called. You split from Junseok and noticed I was busy?"
The Sia Fairy softened her gaze.
She took a breath, brushed her hair behind her ear with one hand.
"Could you possibly come over to my place for a bit right now?"
At that instant, she sensed Han Haeseong hesitate on the other end.
"I-Is something wrong?"
The Sia Fairy let out a faint breath, as if she'd been waiting.
She added a tremor to her voice, lowered her tone slightly, and continued.
"Actually, this guy I dated briefly keeps showing up near my house."
"Your ex-boyfriend is coming to your place?"
"...Yeah, even after I reported him to the police, he won't stop."
"So he's at your house right now?"
Isia gripped the phone tightly and rose from the sofa.
Her expectant eyes turned toward the dark night beyond the window.
"I'm too scared to check right now, but he was definitely out front earlier."
"Alright, I'll head over."
"Y-You're really coming?"
"The situation sounds risky. Send me your address on KakaoTalk, and I'll leave right now."
"Thank you! Sending it now."
"Yes, go ahead."
Click─
The call ended, and the room fell silent once more.
Leaning by the window, the Sia Fairy slowly curled her lips upward.
But that smile held no warmth.
Her eyes were icy cold, her lips twisted in faint mockery.
"Heh..."
She let out a small, involuntary chuckle.
"Good guys are so easy to handle."
Her original target had been Seo Junseok, but Han Haeseong's sudden appearance had complicated things.
Still, she hadn't panicked—she'd adjusted her plan.
'First, I need to shake their friendship.'
Isia silently approached the bed and sat down.
She slipped off her slippers, crossed her legs, and toyed with a cushion scattered on the sheets.
"Both of them... will end up fixated on me."
At first, her goal was just to ruin Seo Junseok.
But in this setup, wouldn't it be more fun to bait them both, then split their friendship with jealousy and misunderstanding?
'Then take them down one by one.'
As she chuckled softly to herself, something occurred to her, and she tilted her head.
'But he's a weird one. Most guys hide it when they swap numbers with a friend's girl...'
The Sia Fairy had led countless men to ruin with similar schemes, beyond just Seo Junseok and Han Haeseong.
Yet Han Haeseong felt oddly different.
"Sia said she's lived abroad a long time. Doesn't have many friends in Korea yet, so I suggested we exchange numbers first."
There was no pretense, no calculation.
It seemed like pure, genuine human kindness.
'No... he can't be different. Humans are all the same.'
The Sia Fairy clamped her lips shut, ruthlessly severing the softening thought.
Then the room filled with vibrations again.
Bzzz.
Bzzz.
Her phone on the desk lit up and buzzed.
The Sia Fairy narrowed her eyes slightly and picked it up.
"Hello?"
"I just got out of the taxi."
Her lips twitched faintly.
Her eyes remained cold, but her mouth mimicked a smile.
"I-I'm coming out to meet you."
"Okay, I'll wait."
Click─
After hanging up, the Sia Fairy slowly set down the phone. She lightly fixed her hair with one hand, grabbed her coat from the wall with the other, and slipped it on.
With a meaningful smile, she turned the front door handle.
'Wait for me. I'll break you just like the rest.'
