Instead he offers his secret hideout, “It’s the safest place in the world.” Se-yeon is immediately intrigued and Min explains that this room is filled with his most prized possessions that he can’t get rid of, but has to hide from his mother. He admits he’s not comfortable sharing a room either.
Se-yeon nervously points out that even if they kissed, co-habitation seems fast but freezes when Min turns a figurine and his bookcase swings open to reveal a separate room. Se-yeon tuts that it’s not a big deal, but Min says he’s already arranged for Se-yeon to live elsewhere… and brings her to his room. Min says it’s better for them to stay at the guest house and Hee-jin meekly points out it’ll be uncomfortable for Se-yeon. Meanwhile, the person in question happily skips around Min’s property as Hee-jin nervously argues that they could’ve stayed at a hotel. Ji-wook feigns ignorance and asks where the photo came from, but Dong-chul is done with games and demands, “Why did you hide Ms. He hands over the picture of Hee-jin’s mother tethered to the nursing home bed. Ji-wook says his phone is broken and Dong-chul is forced to drop it. They’re amiable but there’s an underlying tension as Ji-wook sighs that Dong-chul should’ve called first and Dong-chul points out that he did, multiple times… but Ji-wook seems to be avoiding him. The next day, Dong-chul forces his way into Ji-wook’s office, despite his assistant’s pleas. Dong-chul assures her they’re just trying to clear Ji-wook’s name, but she’s too upset to continue questioning. The trio heads out to question Ki-man’s mother, but she’s adamant that she didn’t know anything about a kidnapping and is anxious about saying anything against Ji-wook. He adds that the “tip” came from the nearby nursing home.īack at the hospital, Min and Se-yeon tuck Hee-jin into bed with her mother just as Dong-man bursts into their room. As they walk to his car, Min tells her Ji-wook was long gone by the time he arrived, which is confirmed by an incoming text to Se-yeon’s phone with Ji-wook claiming something urgent came up. Someone bangs impatiently on the restroom door and Se-yeon grips the doorknob, but the door flies open anyway and she embraces Min with relief. Se-yeon has flashes of her death and the accomplice leaning in to finish her off as Ji-wook waits impatiently for her to finish her business. A flashback reveals that after Se-yeon heard the suspicious phone call, she had immediately texted Min and learned that Ji-wook was the one who kidnapped Hee-jin’s mother. She texts Min, demanding where he is and we see that he’s already en route. Once inside, though, she’s visibly shaken as she slams the lock closed. They drive back to a rest stop and Se-yeon apologizes for suddenly needing a toilet. Ji-wook can’t help but scoff and they stare each other down as Se-yeon innocently explains that since Dong-chul is in charge of the case, she figured she had to text him about Ji-wook’s “tip” too. She declares that she’s out with Ji-wook, admitting she’s unsure where, and snaps a picture of a sign (as well as Ji-wook standing in front of it) to send. Ji-wook lies that he needs to make a phone call but just as he steps out, Se-yeon’s phone rings and he winces as she cheerfully greets Dong-chul. Ji-wook finally parks and Se-yeon questions why they’re stopped in the middle of nowhere. She tsks and then pulls out her phone, gasping in dismay that an actor she likes has just been reported to be in a relationship. Ji-wook immediately ends the call and Se-yeon has enough sense to act like she thought it was just voice-phishing. Se-yeon is alarmed when she hears Ki-man’s mother explain that there’s someone claiming to be the daughter of the woman he’d brought and Hee-jin’s voice calls out in the background. Se-yeon assures Ji-wook he can take it and answers for him. Fortunately, Ki-man’s mother is also trying to call Ji-wook to clarify the situation with Hee-jin’s mother. Min’s frantic calls go unanswered as Se-yeon unwittingly allows herself to be kidnapped by Ji-wook. But with these recent wins, it only feels like we’re being set up for a major loss. Luckily, the odds seem to be finally tipping in our heroes’ favor. Be it by design or dumb luck, our main villain’s accomplice continues to give our team the runaround. It’s hard to catch a killer when you don’t know who they are and they always seem to be one step ahead.
