"It's the last victim." Jung Kwang-Soo puts his hands in the pocket. It has been three years. This last victim was twelve years old boy. He was Baek Han Sol's neighbour. They have been seen together a few times on the CCTV. There is no evidence at the spot. The authorities can't find any link between the location or the victims. That's why this case is o
"Ha! You want me to plead guilty." Baek Han Sol looks at her with disbelief. "I didn't kill them. However, I wouldn't mind doing it at this point in my life. I want my family to give up on me and stop taking money from my family."This man do
Do Sejin comes to her house around eleven in the morning. However, the house is empty. There’s no sign of her. He wonders if she is at work.He checks the kitchen and the trash bin. He didn't see any shrimp soup in it. She must have eaten it all. He smiles to himself.
His hands trail down on her shoulders, slathering her skin with the soap. A soft moan escapes her lips as she bends down her head.“You must be tired.” Do Sejin murmurs to her softly, “I will wash you well, Hana. Just relax.&rdquo
After the bath, Do Sejin goes straight to the bed. For some reasons, he has no urge to eat dinner. Her words keep echoing in his head. A doubt emerges in his heart. Will she fall for him ever? It feels like he might lose this time.No, he can do it. He still wants to be with her even after their contract ends. At this rate, she might never see him again.
“It’s been a while since I saw you.” Kim Dong-Woo smacks the back of Do Sejin’s head. The lecture room is empty. There’s still time before the next lecture. “Why don’t you come to the parties? The twins keep asking for you. I won’t get an invitation if you don’t go.”“I am busy.” Do Sejin’s e
“Today, we are going to have a discussion,” The professor announces, “about the hundredth-day murder.”As Kim Dong-Woo has predicted, the professor uses this opportunity to set up future prosecutors and future lawyers against each other.
[24th Murder Location. The RH Hotel. Room No. 405]Ahn Hana neatly aligns the thirty-six pictures of murdered victims on the bed. She stares at them for a long time. She picks up the picture of the twenty-fourth victim.
"We are sorry." Noe Kyung-Hee's mother bows to her stiffly. "We don't think that we can help you."Ahn Hana sighs. It's awkward. She has seen this woman protesting against her in front of the law firm. And didn’t she tell her off along with other protestors the other day? This is not good.
Why is he anxious?Do Sejin keeps glancing at the rearview mirror. So he can keep an eye on Im Jihoon, who is staring out of the window with half-closed eyes. The former prosecutor’s face is flushing red after the drinks.He didn’t drink much. Tonight, the woman was also missing. Do Sejin can’t even remember what they chatted about. He accelerates the car toward Im Jihoon’s apartment, wondering what Ahn Hana may be doing at home. They are still living together. He hasn’t received a call from Jung Kwang Soo either. Can he trust Jung Kwang Soo though?Who will Jung Kwang Soo go to? Ahn Hana is back. He is also there.They finally reach the apartment building. Do Sejin calls Im Jihoon’s name a few times. “Prosecutor Im?”
As usual, Im Jihoon goes to the motel where he is staying. He has stopped going to his apartment that he shared with Kim Min Seo and their children. When he is finally alone, he turns on the laptop and puts on the headphones.After a few seconds, a woman shows up on the screen. She gives a polite smile to him as she adjusts the camera to focus on the child in her lap.The child has dark brown eyes that light up when she sees a familiar face. She lets out a loud squeal as she tries to reach the screen, albeit her efforts are thwarted by the woman."Haneul." Im Jihoon gives her a soft smile. "Did you miss me, my love?"The child coos, mimicking his lips. But she is too young to speak.
[Im Jihoon]It’s been a while since he went to see Ahn Hana or Do Sejin. Im Jihoon wants to see them, but it’s not the right time.After what had happened last time, he cannot take any steps without thinking about it three times. Last time, he took an emotional step that had resulted in him being found out by Ahn Hana.He knows that Ahn Hana knows. She had said it in the hospital ward loudly. But she is quiet. Till now, she hasn’t come to him and asked about Haneul.She wants him to go to her.Im Jihoon taps his fingers on his desk, studying the case file on the table. How can one killer not know about another killer? He can easily tell who it is, b
After Song Joo Hee is gone, Do Sejin stares hard at Ahn Hana.“What?” She stares back. “What did I do?”
Baffled, Do Sejin looks at Ahn Hana. Why would she hire this Song Joo Hee?Sensing his gaze, Ahn Hana turns upper half of her body in his direction and says with a straight face, “You said I can hire anyone.”
But she can’t recall who this girl is. But the girl has the look that she knows her. Ahn Hana frowns a bit, but she remains quiet.“Miss Song Joo Hee,” Do Sejin picks up her curriculum vitae and says, “
In the conference room, she only finds Do Sejin. Ahn Hana sits down a few seats away from him, keeping more than three metres distance between them. On the long table, there are already copies of CVs and a notepad. It’s been a long time since she has done this. Usually, she left it on Jung Kwang Soo to decide.
Embracing him is impossible.A creature like him will also destroy her daughter. She can’t trust him.
Ahn Hana takes a quick look into her laptop. She can tell that Do Sejin has tried to snoop. She shakes her head and checks her emails, then proceeds to check the news. The news about her has died down a little. But the national channels have started different talks shows. Her emails are spammed with invites.
