Chapter 79 - Epilogue: Part 3
Last Updated:
2021-07-19 00:50:43At the beginning of the next week, a lot happened. Firstly, the court hearings of "Cherry Blossom Reaper" began, and with them a huge stir among the public. Although CEO Choi seemed to be completely cut off from his recent son and heir, the attorney firm representing the fashion house and the Choi family decided to represent Joo Young in court, specifically Jang Chang Woo himself as his lawyer. However, he did not try to prove his client's innocence, but to alleviate the punishment as much as possible, based on the preliminary opinion of the forensic psychologist that Lee Joo Young was not completely aware of what he was doing.
At the same time, Kim Dong Min, the same one who stayed with Lee Joo Young in a foster family after the Gwangju orphanage burned down, came to the Seoul police station and turned himself in. He confessed of being guilty of helping the "Cherry Blossom Reaper", because Dong Min was a hacker with the nickname 'Void' and all the technical stuff - getting plaRelated chapters
Blossom Tears Chapter 80 - Epilogue: Part 4
On that day, exactly one month after they took up the "Cherry Blossom Reaper" case, Soo Min and Hyun Woo were just coming out of court after the final trial. Lee Joo Young was found guilty of course, but not entirely aware of his actions. Unfortunately, the final opinion of the forensic doctors clearly indicated his at least partial insanity, so instead of prison, he was locked up in a psychiatric hospital, but in a closed ward, and under the clear custody of the police. The court gave doctors a chance to undergo treatment, at the end of which Lee Joo Young will be examined again to see if the treatment will have any effect on him. If not, and Lee Joo Young continues to unrepent, he will be imprisoned with a life sentence.- A little bittersweet sentence, isn't it?- Hyun Woo asked as they descended the stairs and headed towards the parking lot.- Yes, very much.- Soo Min admitted, sighing heavily.- But that was the opinion of doctors. I don't really believe in Lee Joo Youn

She woke up suddenly in a large room illuminated in white light. At first Ye Eun thought she was in the hospital, but soon found out that it was a completely different place. In one moment Ye Eun remembered what had happened before she suddenly lost consciousness. Ye Eun was going back on foot from the party, at which she quarreled with her boyfriend, felt cold because did not take anything warmer, since she came to the party with him in his car... Then a familiar car drove past her but then stopped nearby and Ye Eun was glad to see a familiar face, but then she began to feel uncomfortable and at some point lost consciousness. Ye Eun felt that she shouldn't be here now. Danger - this word was unbearably pounding in her head all the time. Ye Eun didn't know why she agreed to go to him. From the very beginning she felt that something is wrong with him. So why did she agree? That was a very good question... Nevertheless, Ye Eun didn't trust him at all, even though they had known each o

(*Oppa - a Korean word that younger female uses towards an older male, usually when they're close)Suddenly Ye Eun heard the sound of approaching footsteps, as if just above her head. Was she in the basement all this time? That explained the chill in some ways, but made the whole situation much worse. Not enough that she had to somehow free herself from these belts, but also to escape from the basement? She felt despair slowly envelop her and hope to escape this awful place slowly began to leave, but Ye Eun still clung to it desperately. She had to get out of here somehow... If she was to take part in this horror movie, then as the main character, not some supporting role that dies at the very beginning of the film in the most ridiculous way you can imagine.Once again, she began to pull on her belts stubbornly, even though had less and less strength to do it. That was when the door opened. She immediately turned her eyes in that direction, but

Soo Min woke up hearing the phone ringing. Unfortunately, forgetting that she fell asleep on the couch in the living room, Soo Min fell to the ground wanting to reach for the table with her eyes still half-closed.- Damn it.- she cursed, rising from the floor and finally catching the ringing phone in her hand and sighed, seeing who was calling, but answered.- Hello, mother? How do you feel?- she said to the person on the other side.- Kim Soo Min, you ungrateful girl!- her mother's voice sounded like a thunderbolt.- This time the candidate was really from the top shelf. Handsome, tall, nice and in addition a doctor, earning a lot... How dare you not show up?!- she said in resentment.- Mom... I asked you not to match me with anyone without my permission. But you are still organizing dates behind my back and telling me a day before to go on them.- Soo Min replied, trying to sound as polite as possible, though she was really angry.- Yah! I remind you that you are

Soo Min entered the police station and walked down the hall to Violent Crime Section's room, immediately sitting at her desk. In the office there was already Oh Han Eul, 32 years old detective, slim and the tallest person in the Section, measured almost 190 cm, with big black eyes and currently dark brown hair, with delicate, almost feminine, face features. He was very ambitious but lazy and behaved like the real star of the Section, with the appearance and personality of an idol, he also took care of himself more than many women Soo Min knew, even changing hairstyles much often than necessary. In general, Han Eul was a narcissist who liked to play with women and avoided the permanent relationships like fire. He liked to drink and party in clubs during his spare time, loved K-Pop and was an die-hard fan of the girlgroup GFRIEND. But one had to admit that he sang and danced well, as Soo Min learned several times when their Section went to noraebang, a Koean karaoke room. However, he

( *Sunbae - someone higher in hierarchy in school or work, usually older.)Soo Min wanted to complete the paperwork that was left after solving of her recent case but unfortunately the worst enemy, officer Min Joo Chan, came into the office holding a paper cup filled with instant coffee and as usual wasn't going to leave her alone. He finished his coffee, crushed the paper cup and dropped it into the nearby trash can, then approached closer.- Yah, Kim Soo Min.- said Joo Chan, leaning lightly on her desk.- I heard that you managed to catch another criminal. How did you do it? By the power of your PMS?- he added clearly amused and pleased with the joke he had created. The muffled laughter could be heard from the others around the room. As she thought, after the departure of officer Kim, no one even intended to admonish Joo Chan. He was probably an idol for all of them.- Wow, sunbae*, great joke.- Soo Min answered with a distinct note of sar

(**NAME-ssi - a polite way of talking to people who you don't know that well.***Maknae - the youngest person of the group.****Hyung - older brother; a polite way a younger male calls the older male. )They went to the main part of the police station, specifically to Chief's office. When they entered the room, Soo Min immediately saw a young man sitting opposite the desk, who, seeing them, immediately stood up and saluted. He looked younger, but was a head taller than Soo Min, had black hair long enough to cover his ears, and the bangs fell slightly on his left eye. With this face he could successfully become a model, actor or even an idol. Only his silhouette matched the image of the model policeman almost perfectly - broad shoulders and arms, muscular body clearly visible through the tight black shirt he was wearing, plus well-developed legs. This man certainly ran fast, and it was high
Last Updated : 2021-07-19Blossom Tears Chapter 7 - The "Cherry Blossom Reaper" Case
After organizing all the files, Soo Min and Hyun Woo immediately went through them to thoroughly learn about the "Cherry Blossom Reaper" case. It all started at the beginning of the year, in January, about five months ago, since it was May now.The first victim was Lee Eun Jung, a 21 year old model from an agency run by a man named Seo In Sung. The next day after her disappearance, Eun Jung was found in the same place where she was kidnapped, with a slit throat. Next to her was a small bouquet made of artificial cherry blossoms, all petals sprinkled with the girl's blood. The marks on her wrists and ankles indicated that she had been strapped to something before death. The time of death was defined as five minutes before midnight of the previous day, i.e. exactly 5 hours after she has been kidnapped. Then it seems that Lee Eun Jung was transported to the place from which she disappeared, along with the bouquet. There were no witnesses, and CCTV in this place was located in a wa

Blossom Tears Chapter 78 - Epilogue: Part 2
Joo Young hated that thought, therefore, he did not want to see absolutely anyone. But that changed when Joo Young heard that Kim Dong Min wanted to visit him. He even asked for this himself so this man could be let in. His little Dong Min, whom he always wanted to protect from all evil. He knew seeing him would definitely make it all more bearable, however, he was afraid that this visit would make someone suspect that Dong Min had something to do with Joo Young's 'mission', so he had to ensure today that it was Dong Min's first and last visit. No matter how badly he wanted to see him again... Joo Young had to protect Dong Min, he was his hyung after all. Joo Young had decided so from day one, when he had defended his dongsaeng from one of those obnoxious guardians in that damn orphanage, and for that had been given a hard spanking himself in his place. Now it should end exactly the same way - Joo Young had to take the punishment for the two of them.- Dong Min-ah... - he spoke
Blossom Tears Chapter 77 - Epilogue: Part 1
While being in pre-trial detention, Joo Young had no desire to see anyone, especially Choi Young Sik and his wife, Madam Lee. So he was glad when they stopped trying to get a permission to visit him. He hated these people even though they made his life so good, or at least that's what all the people around him told him. While playing the role of Choi Hyun Sik, Joo Young had heard that he was extremely lucky to be born into such a family. But what these people did not know was that Joo Young was not born into this family at all. The burden of the secret that Choi Young Sik and his wife had thrown on him was a bit unbearable at times. The only thing Joo Young was really grateful for was that he met Ye Eun after entering this family's house. Normally, as an ordinary child, he would never had a chance to meet her. However, it was a bittersweet feeling as he was supposed to be Ye Eun's older brother, so could never show her his true feelings, which probably started to sprout slowly in hi
Blossom Tears Chapter 76 - Dark Secrets
- Joo Young calmed down, but Ye Eun began to have nightmares and was afraid to approach her brother. She wanted to tell father about it.- Madam Lee replied after taking another sip of coffee.- I told her that she can't tell anyone about it, because it's just such a disease and her brother has already recovered from it. Ye Eun was such an innocent and extremely naive child, believed in everything I told her, so she believed in this too. Ye Eun stayed away from her brother for a while, but after a year she seemed to have completely forgotten about it and normally accosted him, encouraging to play with other children. As they both grew up, she even caught a great contact with him, he spoke to her more willingly than to anyone else. I was very happy about it and I forgot what Joo Young used to do. I was so proud of him, of his academic performance, and then the results of his work. He made such wonderful creations that I was very happy to give him the place of main designer in our fashi
Blossom Tears Chapter 75 - Case Closed
When CEO Choi found out that his son had confessed to everything, he seemed completely devastated. It was evident that he truly believed in his innocence to the end. Madam Lee, on the other hand, seemed much less shocked and Soo Min did not understand it at first, because she thought this woman was the one who would be more devastated by the news.Soo Min went to their house on her own, without the Chief Kim's knowledge, to just tell them about their son, that a court hearing was about to take place and to find out if they would want to attend, because however little they knew about what Hyun Sik was doing, their testimony might help a bit. Besides, Soo Min also felt that although he was not their real son, they had raised him over the years and treated as their own child. No matter what their reasons were at the beginning, they surely loved him at least a little. The more she wanted to tell them what was happening with Hyun Sik, or rather Joo Young, because he himself did not
Blossom Tears Chapter 74 - Final Confession: Part 3
- I don't want to believe that you could have done it all yourself. I think someone helped you, at least with some of these things.- added Soo Min, looking at him closely.- Apparently I'm not just a genius at fashion design.- Joo Young replied, his face turning serious.- You think I couldn't do it all? Why? Do you doubt my intelligence?- he asked kind of reproachfully.- I'm saying I did everything myself. I know it may be hard to believe, but I learn really fast, much faster than others. If you ask at the schools I attended, they will confirm my words. I have always had the best academic record and heard many times people calling me a genius. But to me it was natural and I never understood what all these delights were for.- he explained.- Well, if you say so, I will not pursue this topic anymore.- Soo Min surrendered, seeing that even if her suspicions were right, and he was lying, she would not be able to get any information about a possible helper out of him.- We alrea
Blossom Tears Chapter 73 - Final Confession: Part 2
- What about the KIA car that belonged to your father? How did you get it?- Soo Min asked, curious about this part of the story.- As for this car, when I took it from the junkyard, I didn't necessarily think about the plan.- Joo Young confessed.- I just liked this car and I didn't want it to be destroyed. When I was a child, I asked if my father would give me this car when I get older, but he said no, he would like to buy me a car more worthy of an heir to a huge fortune. Then CEO Choi added that I should not think about such old junk.- and as he said it, one could see the disappointment on his face.- It seems funny now, but as a child, I felt very hurt. So later, when I found out that my father had instructed Secretary Lee to take the car to the junkyard and see it destroyed, I had to do something. Since I knew how much Secretary Lee wanted to be friends with me, I called him and asked to run an errand that I was supposed to handle myself. Later I called the junkyard and aske
Blossom Tears Chapter 72 - Final Confession: Part 1
Soo Min entered the interrogation room and sat down at the table in front of a man who until recently was called Choi Hyun Sik.- Lee Joo Young-ssi...- Soo Min called him by his real name, though she had a hard time getting used to the fact that this was his name.- At the last interrogation you told us about your childhood again, but now I'd like to hear the full story of how you carried out your mission.- she said, quite cautiously to encourage him to speak. Soo Min could see clearly that he was angry with her for approaching him like that while they were talking in the basement of his house. He felt clearly deceived and spoke to her very reluctantly, but she still wanted to get the whole truth out of him. Joo Chan offered to help, assuring Joo Young would sing everything nicely after one interrogation with him, but Soo Min preferred to personally interrogate the "Cherry Blossom Reaper".- I already told you everything, Soo Min. Don't you remember?- he spoke to her comple
