Chapter 76 - Start by calling my name first (1/2)

”Say... why did you lie to me?” Do Sejin asks her quietly.

”I only trust myself.” Ahn Hana leans back and stares at the open window. Her daughter is gone. She can only hope that the magnolia killer will not hurt her daughter. She managed to hold on to the sanity because of her daughter. Even now, she's this calm because of her daughter. ”She looks a lot like you.”

Do Sejin rests his elbows on the bed and holds his head. He can't cry. He doesn't know what to say to this woman. He knows that she can't trust him. She won't even give him a chance to become her person. For his past mistakes, how long does he has to suffer? His sister is dead. His daughter is taken away. The woman he loves has been tortured over and over again. The killer is doing it to torment him.

Ahn Hana mumbles to herself, ”I will find him.”

When Jung Kwang-soo opens his eyes, he finds Eun Min Ah sitting beside him. ”You are here.”

He didn't expect to survive. He didn't expect to see her sitting beside him either. She seems tired. There are dark circles around her eyes. It seems like she hasn't slept for days.

”You are awake.” A smile breaks on her lips. ”Boss Jung, I am relieved.”

Its been a week. The doctor couldn't tell whether he would wake up or not. He lost a lot of blood when he was attacked. Eun Min Ah has been here, waiting for him to wake up. When she saw him lying still as if he was already dead, she felt like she was also dying.

”What happened to Ahn Hana?”

She gets a sharp pain in her heart. Why does both men only care about Ahn Hana?

Jung Kwang-soo looks at her with deep fear when she doesn't answer. ”Is she...?”

”No, she's fine and already discharged.” She answers him while holding herself from bursting into tears. ”Do Sejin is with her.”

”Thank goodness.” Jung Kwang-soo lets out a breath of relief.

Eun Min Ah looks down at her pale hands. She doesn't know when she started to care for this man. She had always wanted to have Do Sejin despite the way he treated her. But, Boss Jung was always there to listen to her. He never treated her harshly. She knew that she was just one of the women who warmed his bed, but she still could not stop herself from seeing him.
