He grimaces at the detective. The reality is clear to him. The killer is too smart. They can’t find Ahn Hana with what they have. How are they going to find them? He can't imagine the things the killer will do to her this time.
He left her alone for a day and she went with the killer.
[Do Sejin.] He hears Eun Min Ah’s voice. [Did you find Ahn Hana?]“No, not yet.” Do Sejin bites his lower lip. How should he ask? But he has to ask. “Eun Min Ah, I have some questions. Are you free to speak now?”
“You should go to your parents, Do Sejin.” Detective Han sits beside Do Sejin who has been at the station for more than twenty hours. “You need to do the last rites.”“Ahn Hana hasn’t been found.” Do Sejin can’t help but feel that there is something wrong about Eun Dae Ho’s suicide and his parents’ mur
The living room is under a thick layer of dust. It seems like the owner hasn’t placed his foot inside the house for years. Do Sejin looks down and sees footprints on the dust. He follows the footprints toward the basement.The smell of blood and death wafts into his nose, turning his heart heavier.
[Ahn Hana is awake.]When he receives a call from Detective Han, Do Sejin rushes back to Ahn Hana’s ward. Just then, he sees Detective Han coming out of her ward with knitted brows and a disturbed look in his eyes. The detective whispers something to his colleagues -- who are guarding the ward -- before going to Do Sejin.
Im Jihoon’s eyes tremble weakly. “How?”“You are one of the best prosecutors in the country.” Do Sejin grabs his hands tightly. “We can find that bastard together. Where can he hide in this country?”
After three days, Im Jihoon meets Do Sejin with a new piece of information."The house where Kim Min Seo was killed..." Do Sejin can't digest what he's hearing. "That house is registered with Ahn Hana's name. How's that possible?"
Next day, Do Sejin gets ready for office. Although he hates it, he has to act normal.Finding Mi Hi won’t be a one-day task.
Do Sejin has had enough. He takes long strides toward her chamber, frustrated by days of silence and not knowing where his daughter Is. How can she act like this? She has to speak. Someone has to tell him what is happening to his daughter. It’s not about this woman anymore. Mi Hi is his lifeline.How can he accept that a murderer is holding his daug
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.
