Chapter 62 - Did you see the magnolia killer? (1/2)

Walking alone into the quiet night, she doesn't feel any terror. Her heart only feels emptiness. She isn't afraid of death. She finds the cold street where the girl was killed and the message was sent to her. The place has a flower near the garbage bin. She picks up the flower and stares at it. The man in the dark clothes marches toward her silently.

Her eyes are fixed on the white magnolia flower.

He stands behind her. She gets up silently. She doesn't close her eyes. The white magnolia flower is crushed in her hand. The man lifts his left hand.

”No!”

Do Sejin grabs the hand that is carrying a knife. The man struggles to get free.

Ahn Hana turns around and looks at both men. She notices that the masked man is shorter than Do Sejin. She purses her lips. He's not him. Disappointed, she calls the cops.

Do Sejin grunts in pain when the knife cuts Do Sejin's arm. He punches the man in his stomach with his left arm. Both of them rolls on the ground. Do Sejin pounds the man with his punches until he can't move. He removes the mask to see the man's face.

”You...” His eyes enlarge in shock. ”Why, you...?”

The boy's face is a bloody mess. Do Sejin can still recognize him. Son Tae-Ho. Seol A's boyfriend. Last time, he saw Son Tae-Ho at Seol A's funeral. He would never imagine that he would see him again in this situation.

”Why are you keeping her at your house?” Tae-Ho screams at him. ”Why? She is the reason Seol A died. Her lover killed my love. She still comes here every night and waits for him. See that flower in that hand? I didn't leave it. It must be the killer. My Seol A was killed mercilessly. I want to do the same to her. I wanted to take her away from the killer before he got his hands on her.”

The knife is near Ahn Hana's feet. Do Sejin's blood is still on it.
