“The killer is related to me.” Ahn Hana can’t stop herself from shaking. “He was the one who read this book to me, Kwang Soo. The murders are probably connected to me.”
A tense silence descends in the room. Both men blankly stare at the woman. Jung Kwang Soo takes a step backwards with disbelief in his eyes. "Ahn Hana, please tell me that
Ahn Hana watches Do Sejin bolting out of the door. She isn't pleased with her circumstances, but she doesn’t owe anyone either. Why is he acting as if she wronged him by not telling him? Why should she bother telling him either? After recalling how arrogant he acted earlier, Ahn Hana turns toward Jung Kwang Soo and yells, "Kick both of them out of the firm. They literally add to my headaches. I don’t want to see them again.”
"Sejin." Eun Min Ah hugs him when he enters the room. "Where have you been? Why didn't you pick up my calls? I have been so worried. Don’t do this to me, okay?"When she releases him, he bends down his head to take a look at her. Eun Min Ah is wearing lacy black lingerie that perks up her breasts. Her hair is pulled up into a ponytail. Her cheeks are flushed. The
Eun Min Ah and Do Sejin are sitting on the couch. Both are depressed for different reasons. Earlier this morning, they received a call from the law firm that they have been dismissed.The reason? Due to the 100th-day case's upcoming hearing, Jung Kwang Soo and Ahn Hana are extremely busy. They can't keep interns, and also, they don't think that Eun Min Ah and Do
Do Sejin steps inside. He is wearing dark faded jeans and a white t-shirt. His hair is neatly combed back, making him look a bit older."You can't come here." The Receptionist Son bumps into his back. Taking a step back, she looks apologetically at Jung Kwang-soo and Ahn Hana. "I am sorry. I tried to stop him, but he --""It's okay." Jung Kwang Soo smiles at her. "You can go. I will talk to him."The receptionist nods her head and leaves. Do Sejin closes the door behind him and walks toward Jung Kwang Soo. Ahn Hana raises her brows, waiting for what he got to say. He ignores her and walks to Jung Kwang Soo. Do Sejin bends his waist to give a deep bow to Jung Kwang Soo. "Senior Playboy, I have heard so much about you. I want to learn from your legendary ways."Jung Kwang Soo has expected him to say about the dismissal. But, he has never imagined that he would say this. He croaks, "Senior playboy?""Lawyer Ahn told me that you are a playboy. She still reminisces about her first time
The man lays down beside her. She is exhausted. Her tears are dried on her face. She can't move. The blood on the sheet is a clear indication of her lost innocence. He presses her face to his chest and gently moves his fingers through her silky hair while whispering sweet words to her.All of a sudden, he grabs her hair hard and asks her, "Do you still feel pain?"
[FLASHBACK: Killer's POV]***[He always felt alone]The baby in the cradle squeals happily at him. She reaches for him with her chubby arms. Her eyes are the warmest shade of brown. When he reaches for her hand that has been trying to reach him, she catches it."Isn't she cute?" His mother smiles at him. He shrugs. "She likes you." His mother coos to him. "Her name is Hana."[Until he met her.]Hana. That name etches itself on his heart like thorny vines. The baby hasn't let go of his finger. His mother goes back to Hana's mother and other women, laughing and talking about their daily lives. Hana's father is reading his case file, not paying attention to the women's prattles. It's Hana's 100th-day celebration, but only a few relatives and some close friends of Hana's mother are invited. "She is an exact copy of her father." He hears his mother say to Hana’s mother and laugh. "She is going to be smart like him. I just have a feeling.""You think?" Hana's mother asks, excited."It's
Do Sejin doesn't understand. Why is his sister dead? Who would do this to her? To kill her this way… in such a cruel way... He can't imagine the pain his little sister experienced.After he comes out of the morgue, he sees Ahn Hana staring at her fingers.
Ahn Hana can’t sleep.Her heart is palpitating uneasily. Whenever she closes her eyes, she keeps feeling like the man will appear beside her again. What will he do to her? Do Seol Ah’s dead heart was stabbed. She covers her face with her hands. Why? Do Seol Ah’s womb was taken away.Is that man going to take her child away? Is he going to kill her child? Why did she think that those nights were a dream? He kept coming to her place and he slept with her. He twisted her body around to his needs and fucked her. Her body knows him. She has been raped for years and she didn’t even know. She kept thinking that it was a dream. Why was she so stupid? How did he manage to do that? Her entire life was his manipulation. Ahn Hana is afraid of finding out more. If she learns more truth, she doesn’t know whether she can keep her sanity. “I can’t deal with this.” She sits on the edge of the bed. “I can’t fight with a psychopath in this state.”The man is too dangerous. He had been inside her h
