Chapter 52 - Its not her (2/2)

Jung Kwang-soo hasn't been in his house much after that day. That place feels haunted to him. He is living in a different apartment. ”I don't know. I didn't check. I have a lot of clothes. Unless it is my favorite, I would not notice if anything else is gone.”

Ahn Hana, if she wants to disappear, won't take anything obvious. She would take something that Jung Kwang-soo wouldn't even remember that he ever had. In any case, those are men's clothes.

Still, Do Sejin is gloomy. ”You are not helpful, are you?”

”I know.” Jung Kwang-soo knows that a bit too well. ”If I hadn't drunk that juice, I would not have slept. This wouldn't have happened.”

Do Sejin doesn't blame him anymore. The killer is cunning and calculative. He is sure that the killer had a plan B to take care of Jung Kwang-soo. In the worst-case scenario, Jung Kwang-soo would have died. He didn't like this man once, but he is the biggest support right now. He is the only other person who still believes that Ahn Hana is alive.

”Don't think of what-ifs. The killer would have found another way.”

Jung Kwang-soo looks away. ”She told me the same thing before that. I promised her that I would keep her safe. I hate myself, Do Sejin.”

Do Sejin also hates himself. He knows the reasons behind her outbursts now. She was pregnant and ill. A crazy killer was chasing her. Her pregnancy provoked the killer. What did he do to her that night at Jung Kwang-soo's house? He is terrified. He cannot imagine. The sight of blood won't disappear from his mind. He is afraid that she will never be the same even if he finds her.

”She was acting strange. She put the knife on her belly,” Jung Kwang-soo recounts her strange actions. ”Did she want to kill herself and her child before the killer?”

She might have. Ahn Hana was afraid. She was bȧrėly clinging to the last strand of her sanity. The killer took away Seol A's internal organs. He might have wanted to do the same to Ahn Hana and take away the fetus.

Last scenario: She could be alive. The child might be alive too. They might be living with the killer. That night, she might have given into her obsessive lover. The illness? She could have left the country to get it treated secretly. If she didn't want to leave the killer, she wouldn't come back to this life. There was nothing here for her.

He is sure that she wouldn't come back for him in any of the scenarios.
