[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.
She’s dying. When will Bo Ji-Won stop yelling at her?“How could you be so careless?” Bo Ji-Won enrages, “You told me that you would take care of yourself.”
Aha Hana has noticed his discomfort. The corner fo her lips curl up faintly. He’s truly a kid.“I think it’s ending in two days.”
Ahn Hana is lying naked on her back with her legs widespread. Her fingers are furiously rubbing her flower. With her other hand, she is rubbing, pulling, and playing with nipples. She has done this before many times, but she has never done this in front of someone else.She blushes in shame when she notices Do Sejin's heated gaze on her. He is standing near the bed, to
“I can't wait to use you," Do Sejin says this to the vibrator in his hand. "What kind of expression will she show after she sees you, huh?"He puts it in the basket. His eyes stop on the special panties with the remote. "I wonder what she will think about me if I give this to her."
“A lunchbox?”“Yes, it’s a lunchbox.”
“There…” Ahn Hana moans, “En… That’s the spot, Sejin.”“Do you like it?” Do Sejin massages her shoulders. Her moans sound like a song to him. Though they aren’t doing ‘that’ at the
“Did you lie to me about your relationship with your father?” Ahn Hana questions him calmly.Is this why she's upset? Do Sejin scratches his cheek. "I never said that my father hated me. I am still his eldest son."
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.
