Yeju let out a hollow laugh. "That arrogance of yours hasn't changed. Fine. Today is the last time with you, too."
"Our last time together was already over in court. And me, with you..."
She stomped on the accelerator, and the car sped even faster. Her ex-husband continued to bark like a dog inside the Bluetooth. Yeju didn't back down and fought back. She was entering the tunnel.
The moment she stepped into the dark arch of cement, it happened right then. A flash went off once more from a motorcycle tailgating her in the adjacent lane. She was blinded for a moment, and the steering wheel swerved instinctively. The car lost its balance and began to slide.
"Ah... no!!"
The vehicle swayed, scraping against the tunnel wall, and Yeju slammed on the brakes. But it was already too late. Another car following behind crashed directly into hers, and the impact sent her car flying out of the tunnel.
'Bang!'
The moment she hit her head hard, her vision flashed. Even then, as if he had heard the sound of the car being destroyed, her ex-husband's voice could be heard through the Bluetooth. "Yeju—!!"
The car's warning sound, the cold air rushing in through the broken window, and her consciousness rapidly descending backward.
—So this is how it ends... Damn it, to have to listen to that bastard's voice until the very end.
Amidst her crumbling memories, the last thing that came to mind was the mockery from her YouTube broadcast and how miserable she truly was. She could not breathe. But before that, her eyelids trembled. For a moment, a bright ball of fire appeared before her eyes. Was it a camera flash... or a falling meteor...?
She desperately muttered, using her last ounce of strength. —"If it is a meteor, I should make a wish. In my next life, I don't want to live like this."
With those words, Kang Ye-ju's eyes slowly closed.
