He puts down the picture of the magnolia flower on the table. There are other pictures of the people connected to the Magnolia killer committed - the 100 days murders, Baek Han Sol, Ahn Hana, and even Do Sejin. He writes about his latest observation in his notebook."What are you doing?" Im Jihoon's wife comes into the room. It's the middle of the night. Her husband usually works at night like this. "Are you still into that murder case?""She has returned." He taps Ahn Hana's photo. “I am sure that the killer will be active again."She sighs loudly. "Jihoon Oppa, you should ditch it. You got criticized by everyone because of the case. Your obsession isn't healthy. Let others deal with it."He hasn’t been able to find the killer in a year. There is a certain pressure to find the killer because of Do Seol Ah’s father. There hasn’t been any strong lead since Ahn Hana’s disappearance.Ahn Hana’s return is a hope. Im Jihoon smiles at his wife with tired eyes. "I will get promoted if I find
Next day, Ahn Hana is in her office. There are piles of cases, but she's not interested. Her thoughts are blurry. She keeps thinking about her past. Who could it be? Her magnolia lover knows her so well. She is back, but he hasn't come to meet her once. Is it because she is staying with Do Sejin or is it because he is mad at her for leaving him?She has to make him app
Do Sejin clenches and unclenches his fists. He takes deep breaths to cool down. But, it's not working. He understands. The killer did horrible things to her and she changed. That’s why she's acting strange. But, why must she sacrifice their child? He would never accept it."Tell me why would you do it?" He squeezes out the word one by one with difficulty, trying
"Were you being held here against your wishes?" The police officer asks her to reconfirm."She lives here," Do Sejin barks. He knows that he shouldn't lose his temper, but she is barely making his life easy.
In her room, Ahn Hana lies down on the bed and closes her eyes.Some people will call her insane. Some people will call her a homewrecker.In any case, she is the nation's most hateful person again.Ahn Hana can't care less about. She is waiting. She's sure that there will be a response. He will come this time for sure. She isn't allowed to leave the house.Do Sejin and Jung Kwang Soo has locked her in the room. In their eyes, she's the most untrustworthy person at the moment.So what? The magnolia killer will come to her.She has a lot of time to think. She writes down the names of people who could have been the killer. Some names match the names on Do Sejin's list that she has chanced upon when he was distracted. There are other names that he doesn't know. Deep down, she knows already that it's not anyone from the list.How long has he known her?She doesn't know.
In the morning, Do Sejin purses his lips when he sees the articles about him and Ahn Hana on the internet. There are even pictures of his house and hate comments about his son.He is going to have a busy day suing journalists and some people. He won’t leave any of them alone. Do Haneul doesn’t deserve this hate.
Eun Min Ah ceases her cries, widening her eyes in shock. “W-What are you --”“Hana.” Jung Kwang Soo starts, “Don’t.”“Don’t do what?” Ahn Hana looks at him. Did this man say that he loved her once? But he seems so tortured for someone else. It’s hard to believe that they are married. They even slept together once. But humans are complicated. Marriage is meaningless if there aren’t any feelings. So, she needs to release him. “Don’t what, Jung Kwang Soo?”“I mean,” He exhales in frustration, “it’s complicated, Hana.”Complicated? Ahn Hana agrees. She glances at Eun Min Ah who has lost her calm exterior. Standing with balled fists, the girl is watching her with hate in her eyes. Why is she being hated by the likes of her? What did she ever do wrong to this girl? “You thought that nobody would know, right? Oh, Jung Kwang Soo didn't tell me, but I can tell it easily. You are too inexperienced and young to hide it properly. Ah, the child... I already know that he's not Do Sejin's son. Do Sej
He rests his head on the steering wheel. The papers are lying on the passenger seat. Do Sejin inhales and exhales. What should he do? What should he do? He asks himself. What can he do?Can the police make her talk?
