“Hana.” Do Sejin shakes her. “Hana! Snap out of it!”
The light in her eyes returns when he doesn’t stop yelling. Ahn Hana inhales and exhales sharply. The magnolia killer was right. She chose him. He had known her since she
“The message.” Ahn Hana mumbles, “What I understood is that he was going to take my child. He hated the fact that I was impregnated by another man. When I saw him at Jung Kwang Soo’s home, he was…”Ahn Hana can’t continue. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. The scars on her back still hurt. Exasperated, she adds, “There is no doubt that he loves me.”“Hana, that’s not love.” Do Sejin yells at her, “Why do you still think like that?”“I don’t expect you to understand,” She barks at him. “Everyone’s idea of love is different. Just because he is not like you doesn’t mean that he doesn’t feel love. I told you that he is not an unfeeling psychopath.”Im Jihoon chuckles deeply. “Unfeeling psychopath.”“Prosecutor Im.” Do Sejin ignores Ahn Hana’s blazing eyes. “She is not in her right mind. We should look into her parents’ contact. She told me that the magnolia killer’s mother was close to her mother.”“Still, it happened a long time ago.” Im Jihoon frowns a bit. “Her mother is also
Although he doesn’t want to let go of her, Do Sejin releases her and takes a step away from her. She doesn’t turn around to meet his eyes.“I am sorry.” He runs his fingers through his hair. “I guess I am still acting
"Both of you don't look good." He raises his brows. Ahn Hana and Do Sejin are wearing the same clothes that they were wearing this morning. They must have left back then. Do Sejin looks sullen while Ahn Hana is wearing an expressionless mask. "Did you have a fight?""He was just being nosy," Ahn Hana murmurs with a strained voice.
“Is it too much to ask?” Jung Kwang Soo reaches for her face. “But I will respect your decision, Min Ah. If you don’t want to be with me, I won’t force you. But let me be with Chang Min, my son, your gift to me. I want to hold him as his father."He wants her. Eun Min Ah sobs. It's been years of shame and hurt. What she has been doing to t
Ahn Hana stares at her fingers. “Why do you think that way, Jung Kwang Soo?”“I know you.” Jung Kwang Soo says to her, “You don’t come to care about people easily, but you aren’t a demoness. I understand that oth
Do Sejin doesn’t leave Im Jihoon alone. The man is broken after seeing the bodies of his two young children.In the surveillance cameras, they can see Im Jihoon’s wife coming into the apar
He drives the knife across her throat. Her warm blood spurts out as her shaking pupils become still. Kim Min Seo places her hand on her stomach while keeping her gaze on Ahn Hana as if she is pleading to her to save her unborn child. Every second feels like forever. Her heartbeat is louder. Ahn Hana watches her die in front of her. She looks at Kim Min Seo until the woman lowers her head lifelessly. Eun Soh Chun wipes the knife clean with a shining look in his eyes. “What a beauty, isn’t it?” Eun Soh Chun runs his fingers through Kim Min Seo’s hair. “Her hair is so soft. She must have spent a lot of time on her hair.”The corners of Ahn Hana’s eyes twitch. She keeps her back straight, trying her best to remain unaffected. Kim Min Seo’s blood spreads out on the floor, slowly reaching her. Ahn Hana curls her toes, swallowing her saliva before she speaks to Eun Soh Chun, “Why did you kill her?”“I don’t like her.” Eun Soh Chun slaps Kim Min Seo’s cheek. “This woman paid so much attentio
Ahn Hana trembles when his lips brush against her skin. However, she keeps her eyes close.He showers her with ravenous kisses, biting and nibbling softly -- and sometimes, hard. The blood doesn't disturb him. Instead, he finds her more cap
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.
