Chapter 71 - You are still resisting it, my dear Hana (2/2)

Bo Ji Won shakes her head again. The panic and terror in her eyes are contaminating Ahn Hana's mind. She doesn't want to be frightened. One can't think clearly with a frightened mind. She needs to free herself first.

Ahn Hana didn't think that the killer will take this kind of action. She did everything to fool him and lure him out. She wanted to make him believe that she loved him back. She had been investigating for the past year. She sat down and looked through her memories to find anyone who fit the killer's profile. But, she couldn't think of anyone. She couldn't remember anyone who could be like that. She could have stayed hidden for life, but she was afraid that the killer would find her and her child. Her disturbing thoughts didn't help her either.

There were times when she wanted to embrace the rising darkness inside her.

There is only one reason why she resisted that thought every day. She wanted to protect her child from herself and this killer.

That's why she came back.

No matter how hard she tries, she can't even move her fingers. The daylight disappears. The room is immersed in darkness. She can't see Bo Ji Won, but she can hear her rough breathing sounds. Their hearts are startled when they hear the sound of a click.

The masked killer switches on the lights. Bo Ji Won tries to scream when she sees the killer with a silver knife in his hand. He walks behind her and places the knife on her throat.

”My dear Hana, do you like her more than me?”

”Answer me, Hana.” The killer's voice is deep and tranquil.

What kind of answer is right?

Bo Ji Won is looking at her pleadingly.

”You don't want to answer” The Killer sighs. ”At least, you aren't lying.”

He pushes the knife into the throat. The blood spurts out of the windpipe. Ahn Hana watches her die in front of her. She looks at the bulging belly of Bo Ji Won. Until the last moment, Bo Ji Won has been pleading her to save her with her eyes.

The killer waits for her to react. She doesn't scream or cry. He sees her eyes become quieter. The remnants of light in her eyes is disappearing. Pleased, he cuts away the ropes on her body. She doesn't move or fight. They both know what would happen if she does that.

”You are still resisting it, my dear Hana.” He lays her down on the floor. Bo Ji Won's blood is still warm. It soaks her clothes. The killer cuts down her clothes away one by one. She closes her eyes. A single tear rolls out on her cheek.
