To be craved (Remake)

First part.

Jongwoo was finally released from the hospital and took therapy sessions.

He was diagnosed with schizophrenia and after a few years of therapy he was feeling less paranoid.

He got a decent job and he could afford a very small apartment, his life was starting to feel normal again.

Jongwoo was sorting out old stuff and he almost jumped when he saw the teeth bracelet.

"I- i thought I threw it away!" Jongwoo said backing away from it.

The memories he tried so hard to forget came back, the residence, the people that died, the people he killed and the man who manipulated him, Moonjo.

Jongwoo tried to steady his breath which was harder than he thought. He took the bracelet and threw it away.

After he reentered his apartment he just felt, shitty. The thoughts he tried to suppress it all was there again. Great all the mental progress, gone.

Jongwoo just tried to sleep, he had work tomorrow after all.

He laid down tossing and turning, this will be a long restless night.

After a night with barely any sleep, Jongwoo woke up and rubbed his eyes.

He got up brushing his teeth, eating something small his usual morning routine.

He got out of the house earlier today, he couldn't stand being home any longer, the air just felt too thick.

Jongwoo walked around watching other people, friends and couples which made Jongwoo realize how lonely he was.

He hasn't heard anything from Jieun either, she said she doesn't wanna talk to him before he finally becomes normal again.

Maybe it was about time to reach out to her, Jongwoo made a lot of progress after all.

Jongwoo sighed and walked to a bus stop to work, he worked as a barista in a cafe a few hours away from his home.

He waited for the bus, listening to his favorite playlist with his headphones, the bus arrived and he got in.

He sat down looking out the window trying to clear his mind. His eyes widen when he sees a way too familiar person standing on the streets while the bus passes by.

Jongwoo blinks a few times and looks out more and there was nothing, he could swear he just saw. Him. But it doesn't make sense does it? That guy is dead, he would know cause he killed him.

No no no he must be hallucinating, it must be his schizophrenia, there's no way that guy will be walking around seoul, he's dead.

Jongwoo got out of the bus and bites his nails walking to work."It can't be, I'm hallucinating, yeah heh that must be it! It's just my schizophrenia yeah yeah! Hehe."

Other people were looking at Jongwoo weirdly when he continued talking to himself while walking to work.

Jongwoo arrived at work and tried to push all the thoughts away but the voices in his head kept on telling him that his life will never be normal again.

He tried to drown out the voices by talking to his coworkers more, they were surprised because Jongwoo would usually avoid conversations.

The day went fine and Jongwoo sighed exhausted, he made his way back to his apartment even tho if he's going to be honest, he didn't want to.

On his way back home on the bus he struggled if he should text ji-eun or not, he really hasn't heard anything from her since the case.

He decided to send a message:
