Bad X Bad: My Dear Hana - Chapter 15

“Mmm.” Ahn Hana wants to sleep more. Her body, especially that place that he penetrated last night, is in pain. Do Sejin clears away the hair from her face. She looks cute when she is grumpy and sleepy. Too adorable. He keeps kissing her until she is completely awoken. But, she pretends to be asleep. He sneakily moves his hand over her buŧŧhole and taps it. She sits up with a jolt.

“You are late for school,” She yells at him.

Do Sejin laughs. “It’s fine. I won’t go to school today. You should take a day off.”

“No.” She climbs off the bed before he can catch her. “I have to visit the location of the 24th murder. I don’t have time for this. Get out of my house now.”

Do Sejin knows that he can’t push her when it comes to working. It looks like she loves her work more than him. “Alright. Let’s eat. I will leave after that.

Seeing that he isn’t planning anything funny, Ahn Hana goes to the table. She doesn’t bother wearing clothes. He feeds her the breakfast. “How is it?”

“Better than before.” She chews the omelet. “Don’t put many spices. Ji-Won asked me to eat simple meals.”

“Oh, did she call you to scold you again?”

Bo Ji-Won is her childhood friend from her hometown. She is quite close to her. She scolds her a lot when it comes to her health. After that time at the hospital, Bo Ji-Won has visited her a few times and gave her a huge scolding for leaving like that. She didn’t ask much about Do Sejin when she saw her here. She is quite chilled about everything else other than health matters.

Ahn Hana doesn’t hide. Much. “The test results came out. I had to go and see her yesterday.”

“Is something wrong?” He asks with worry. Ahn Hana had a bad accident when she was in college. If she receives another head trauma, it will be the end of her. But, Ahn Hana has told him many times that Bo Ji-Won is just overreacting. If a head bump could kill her that easily, she would have died a long time ago.

“I am just stressed these days because of work. So, she asked me to change my diet. She is confident that it will work.”

“I will give you a body massage tonight.” Do Sejin also thinks that she looks more tired recently. When she looks at him warily, he smiles at her. “I won’t do anything funny. Just a gentle massage to make you feel relief.”

“Okay.” Ahn Hana accepts his offer. “I hope you read a lot about massaging techniques.”

The sly comment makes him chortle. “You hold grudges, don’t you?”

“Next time, give me a warning before you try something outrageous like that.”

“Sure, Sure.”

He goes straight to the university. It’s lively as ever. As Kim Dong-Woo has predicted, the professors are using this opportunity to set up the future prosecutors and the future lawyers against each other. There is no doubt that Do Sejin will only take Ahn Hana’s side. He has closely seen and observed her when she has been working on her ŀȧptop. Though he doesn’t know what is going inside her head because she won’t discuss much with him, he is sure that he will win.

“He has been caught on the CCTV loitering around the murder location before it happened.” One of the wannabe prosecutors puts down his argument. “There is a strong link between the victims and the murderer. He killed his ex-girlfriend after the 100th day of their breakup. He killed the neighborhood boy after the 100th day of his father’s birthday. He killed that grocery store cashier after the 100th day of his university school graduation day. The list is long. It cannot be a coincidence. He is the total psychopath. ”

“They haven’t found the murder weapon.” Do Sejin voices out. “The link is pure guesswork.”

Seeing that Do Sejin is supporting the murderer, Eun Min Ah also stands up to support Do Sejin.

“I agree with Do Sejin. The link between the murders is ridiculous. The prosecutors have to do a better job.”

The future prosecutors are inflamed. “What about the bloodied clothes that were found at his home? The blood of the last boy whom he killed at the district park. Are those circumstantial? Did the blood splash to his home and landed on his clothes when the murderer was stabbing that boy?”

“Blood of one boy can’t count for all the victims.” Once Eun Min Ah is into something, she goes with all her might. Soon, she forgets about the goal to impress Do Sejin and make him fall for her.

“The murderer would stab the victim five times. No more. No less.” Do Sejin adds, “He is precise and calculative. I don’t think that the killer would choose his victims or the locations randomly. The murderers like these like to collect some sort of trophy from their victims. Nothing like that was found at his house.”

“Not all murderers are the same. How do we know that he didn’t bury it in his secret lair?”

“The prosecutors couldn’t make him confess. If he was guilty, could he hold on for all these years?”

“The 24th Victim was found nȧkėd in the hotel room. She was stabbed five times, but the murderer has cleaned off her body. There was not a speck of blood on her body. The murderer has decorated her hair with flowers.” The hall is quiet when they hear Eun Min Ah’s description of the 24th murder. “She was 15 years old. Of all the murders, she was the only one who was treated differently like she was loved.”

One of the students laugh. “Loved? I would not want to be loved like that.”

“Nobody would want that,” Eun Min Ah replies stubbornly, but she looks strong. “Baek Han Sol was 22 years old at the time. They have never found any link between her and Baek Han Sol.”

“There was a link. She was murdered at the R H hotel. Baek Han Sol frequented there a lot with hostesses. She could be a hostess or his lover.”

“Baek Han Sol is not stupid enough to make a mistake with an underaged girl. Besides that, he was at the stadium to participate in a football match.”

“There are a lot of rich people who like a young girl. She could have been pretending to be an older woman. He got injured and left the match early.”

“Alright! The hour is up.” Professor Man looks at his watch. “We will continue this tomorrow. Both sides should prepare well.”
