Chapter 38 - He didnt stop killing (1/2)

Eun Min Ah and Do Sejin are sitting on the bed. Both are depressed for different reasons. An early 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 Sejin are mentally ready to accompany Jung Kwang-soo and Ahn Hana during these times.

Eun Min Ah doesn't understand. Yesterday, she had convinced three people. Boss Jung told her that she was a help. He even patted her head and took her to a fancy restaurant for lunch. He listened to her talk when she opened up about Do Sejin and the agreement. He was sympathetic toward her when she told him that Do Sejin might not stay with her after this. He had told her that he would always lend a listening ear and a helping hand if she ever was in trouble.

Why are they saying this now? Did Boss Jung find her pathetic and clingy when she talked about her relationship? She wasn't even planning to. It was he who kept asking her why she looked sad.

Do Sejin knows the real reason. Ahn Hana doesn't want to see him anymore. He has lost her chance to be around her. What should he do? Argh.

Both sighs heavily.

For some unexplainable reason, she wants to see Boss Jung again. He is so kind with words. She liked it when he patted her head.

”Jung Kwang-soo.” Ahn Hana cracks her knuckles. ”Why can't I go to work? The hearing is the day after tomorrow.”

”You have to go to the hospital.” Jung Kwang-soo blocks the doorway. ”You can't leave this house until Bo Ji-Won comes back.”

”I want a different doctor,” Ahn Hana lowers her voice. ”She should be on her honeymoon. I will go to the hospital later. Let me go to the office first. It's only for two days. Besides, you can't force me to stay at the hospital without my consent.”

She won't go to the hospital if he doesn't let her go to the office. Jung Kwang-soo doesn't know what to do. She is stubborn when it comes to cases.

”Do you promise to go to the hospital like a good girl after the next hearing whether we win or not?”

”Yes.” She holds his hand. ”Now, tell Ji-Won to stick to the original plan. I will go to her place on Thursday. We should find the killer first.”

Jung Kwang-soo stands aside. He wonders if they can find the killer in two days. ”I will stay with you all the time. Everywhere. I will increase security. Tell me if you feel any discomfort. We will go to the hospital straight away.”

”Ok. Ok. I promise.” She opens the door. ”I have to check something about the victims. If it is like the way I think it is, we will have the links and pattern in the murders. After that, nobody can keep Baek Han Sol in prison.”

”It would have been best if the murderer kept killing even after Baek Han Sol was captured.” Jung Kwang-soo wraps his arm around hers. ”In case, you faint suddenly.”

She stomps his foot and frees her hand from his arm. ”Jung Kwang-soo, I have been walking by myself for the last two weeks. I am not that sick.”

”Woman, you have a tumor in your head.” He scowls at her. ”Don't be too proud to accept support.”
