“Sir, this is Eun Min Ah from Theseus Law Firm --” The call is cut off the moment she speaks the name of the law firm. Knitting her brows together, she puts down the receiver. It’s not the first time this happened.
Eun Min Ah heav
The interns are not bad.Ahn Hana looks out of the window. The sun is descending at the horizon, casting saffron rays in the sky. The wind is chilly. The murderer is roaming in the city freely. He’s probably laughing at the prosecution.
She isn’t here yet.Do Sejin paces in front of the door of her apartment. It’s been a little over twenty-four hours since he was kicked out by Ahn Hana from her home. Now that he thinks about it, it was a bad decision to stop her from eating.
Do Sejin notices that her eyes are on the knife. He purses his lips together, holding back his laughter. He hasn’t seen anyone act in such a cute manner when they are angry.“Lawyer Ahn, are you thinking about the case again?” He
He’s not here either.Sitting on the bed in her apartment, Eun Min Ah chews the nail on her thumb. Do Sejin left the firm before she could get to him. He’s not at their apartment. Kim Dong Woo doesn’t know where
When he releases her head, Eun Min Ah pulls herself away from him. Before she can even grasp the situation, Do Sejin grasps her arm, pulling her up. Like a little doll, her body is turned around. Her breasts press against the wall. She gasps for air."Se
When Ahn Hana arrives, Do Sejin is already in the office.“Goodmorning, Lawyer Ahn,” Do Sejin beams at her. “Do you want coffee?”
Do Sejin stretches his arm and lets out a yawn. Just then, Ahn Hana pushes open the door, startling him. Being caught yawning by her, he widens his eyes in shock and embarrassment while his arms are still in the air awkwardly.
Dressed in a pink shirt, white trousers, and a black blazer, Do Sejin arrives with Eun Min Ah. Her cheerful demeanour and way of showing her ‘love’ to him are rather annoying. It seems that she tries harder if he ignores her or tries to tell her that he doesn’t like her.Life with Eun Min Ah is getting on his nerves. He can’t wait for their agreement
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.
