Chapter 4 - Are you a fan?

I cross my arm, studying the profile of Kang Si An, the actor, model, and musician. I didn't think that it would be just a web search to find my murderer's profile online.

He was born and raised in B country. His birth name is Kang Si An. His birthday is on February 10. His is blood type is B. His height is 183 cm. His favorite food is meat. His hobbies are hiking, swimming, and playing chess. He can play guitar, violin, piano, and flute. He can speak six languages. His favorite color is black.

This is insane. I can't imagine why he would kill me. Our path should never cross.

Why? Why? Why?

Kang Si An frowns when he sees the rude girl smacking her head on the counter and mumbling inaudible words. He clutches the packets of candies in his arms and takes a step back. This girl is strange.

He is clothed in black from head to toe. He has made sure that he can't be recognized by normal people. Kang Si An has a secret. A secret that nobody must find out. His secret is that he is addicted to sweet candies and chocolates.

For an actor and model, it is important to maintain the body. His ȧssistant is strict about his diet. He cannot eat any sweets or chocolates. It's not helping him at all. He craves it more because of the restrictions. So, he has come up with a plan. At night, he leaves his house like a thief and drives away from his locality to buy what he wants to eat. It's cheating, but he works out every day to burn the calories anyway. Life is short.

He doesn't like coming here. But, this store is not far from his house. Not many stores are open at night. Because of his get up, people get suspicious easily. He is sure that she is suspicious too, but she hasn't shown extreme reactions like others.

"Hey." He taps the counter to attract her attention. She slowly lifts her head to look at him. Her brown hair is disheveled and a mess. She has dark circles darker than his clothes. Her skin is dry and pale. She looks like someone who is about to die of sickness.

This time, she doesn't show him much of reaction. She makes the bill and packs the candies and chocolates quietly, sighing loudly and mumbling something. He decides to ignore her. Then, he sees his picture on her phone screen.

He blinks in surprise. "Are you a fan?"

"What?" She frowns deeply. "Fan of what?"

He points at her phone. "His fan?"

"Haha." She lets out a sarcastic low laugh. "Something like that."

Perhaps, it's her tone or the way she laughed. He is annoyed. He raises his brow and asks, "You don't like him?"

"He has a good face." She gives him a mocking smile. "But, he has a cruel heart."

She must be an anti-fan. His mood is already soured. He dislikes anti-fans more than his obsessive fans. They always have something bad to speak about him.

"You should watch your mouth. If you are a fan, you shouldn't speak nonsense. Why does he have a cruel heart? He loves animals. Have you not heard about his humanitarian works?"

"I am sure that he loves animals because he likes to butcher them to eat them." She picks up the phone and looks at the picture with strange emotions in her eyes.

The corners of his lips twitch. He is wrong. This girl isn't an anti-fan. She is a weirdo.

"Don't speak about him as if you know him personally." He doesn't butcher animals. He even has a pet dog. Who the hell is she? Is she one of those people who write malicious messages about him online?

"You are right." She looks at him thoughtfully. "Mr. Psychopath, what do you do when you want to know about someone?"

"I am not a psychopath," He replies with a strained voice. The more he speaks with her, the more frustrated he becomes. "You have to interact with that person to know more about him. You should observe that person and find out what type of things they dislike and like. If you can't do that, then don't make ȧssumptions about them easily."

She nods slowly. "You are right. I should find out more about him."

"Reason why you are his anti-fan?" He is sure that she will do a web search about him and read more articles to know more about him. Then, she will become his fan and follow his social media account. The online information about him isn't bad, but it's not the complete truth.

"I am not an anti-fan." She chuckles. "I am definitely his fan."

"..." Why did she badmouth him if she is a fan? "How will you find out more about him?"

"I have ways, Mr. Psychopath." She hands him the bag. "Soon, I will find out everything about him."

"Good luck." He rolls his eyes. People like her always believe that they can find out everything about him. Some of his hardcore fans might know some stuff. Is there truly anyone who knows him completely? He doubts that. Anyway, this girl is an interesting person in a weird way.
