Shin Hye was sitting still in the room and thinking her father's words. He didn't say wrong. Even she was not talking about him but deep in her mind she still firmly believed that all the events are truly happening four years ago. If not how can she remember everything about him every his touches, his kisses, his embraces and his natural own scent which she was addicted from the very first time sleeping in his arms peacefully and inhaling it. How can she dream about a man every night if she'd never met and closed him before. How can't she feel anything and can't remember anything about the man when her father showed her the photo of a man who they said that he is her husband and Junnie's father.How can Junnie was completely different from the man who they claimed that he is his father and take after the man in her dream exactly except inheriting her dimple chin instead of his dimples on both cheeks.
There are so many questions in her mind which still unclear even how hard she tried to find the answer in past three years as soon as she can think properly after recovering from her physical and mental breakdown.
She'd had so many arguments with her father through out these years. But later, she realized that if she kept saying what she believe, Junnie will be taken out from her and so she decided to remain silent and wait for him until he'd find her and Junnie one day.

"Ahh..." Shin Hye looked at her palm that was scratched with edge of the rock while climbing up the mountain. It was bleeding and dirty. She had to find water to wash the wound and clean herself up. She was covered with sweat. Her mind flashed a bit regret for lying her father and finding 'The Legend' by her own. "You don't have to involve in this case." "Although he is a heartless and cold-blooded murderer, but as the information we got, he was just like a living legend. No woman can be escaped of falling for his gorgeous appearance.You are also a woman. I can't take the risk." No, she had to show her father that she is different. She is strong. She is not like the average woman who could easily fall for that serial killer.
Her face appeared a hopeful smile when she heard the sound of running water. She cleaned her wound and washed her face when she finally found a stream. She was completely exhausted. She climbed on a big rock just beside the stream. It was wide enough to lie down for a person. She laid down and rest on it until she sleep with tired.
She was awaken by a conversation between two men. She opened her eyes. It was already sunset and started to dark but a tinge of light was still present and it was bright enough to see the surrounding. She rolled herself and crawled to the edge of the rock to see what was going on this place.
"Young master, let me conceal the body. If not, they will be found us sooner or later." The older man who faced on her side told the man in front of him whose back faced on her side.
"Mr.Ahn, when did you become a coward. No, don't hide it. Threw it into the water and flow it along the stream. Let them know that what will be the ending of shameless and amorous woman." The man who gave her his back said coldly.
She closed her eyes to calm herself down. Her heart began to race crazily. It must be 'The Legend'. He committed another crime again. "Calm down Park Shin Hye. Finally, you did it. Only if you can follow them silently up to their secret place, your mission will be complete. Victory is just in your sight. Don't afraid. You can do it." She pressed her hand on the left side of her chest which is beating heavily and mumbled herself. When she open her eyes and looked at them, they were gone. She was startled and lifted herself up a little to check them. "Where did they go? It was only a few seconds I closed my eyes. Am I faced with ghost?" She said to herself softly while her eyes were looking all the direction to search them.
"Who are you?" A voice on her back asked her shortly. The voice was not that loud. But it sound like a rumbling of thunder bolt in her ears. She quickly turned her back. But she can't see the owner of the voice because of a sharp bright light which directly hit to her eyes.
"The Legend?" She covered her eyes with one hand and mumbled uncertainly.
He made a sound of frustration. "Another annoyance" He said with cold tone while slowly approaching her.
She punched to the area where she think that his face was located, by calculating the height where the voice was coming out. Her calculation was right. She hit his right cheek. He lost his balance and stepped back a little. She tried to punch and kick him continuously before he could act but he was faster than her hundred time. After the first punch, he can manage to block all her attack and grab both her arms in a flick of time.
He controlled her with one hand and grabbed her chin with the other to looked at her face clearly. He can't help but to admit that he was shocked by her sudden attack. By looking the way she attack, he can tell that she was well trained and was a decent fighter. She was closed her eyes tightly when he pulled her face to his side. "Who are you? What is your intention?" He asked excitedly.
"I'm your doom. I'm here to arrest you for your crimes." She said with deep tone tried to hide her shaking voice. "But now you won. So what are you going to do with me? Kill me if you dare, you psychopathic serial killer." She shouted him while struggling to escape from his control. But her struggling ceased and she fainted into his arms when he hit her neck crook with edge of his palm.

She open her eyes slowly but she can't see anything because of the darkness. She was lying on a hard dirty surface. Her whole body was ached and she felt like breaking her bone whenever she move her body parts. After a while her eyes became adapted to darkness and she could manage to see the surrounding dully. She slowly got up and checked the place. It looked like a cave but not like a natural cave. She closed to the wall and checked it weather there would be a way to escape.
"Stop checking around. There is no other way out except the main door." The same voice that she heard at the stream side was coming from her back." She turned to the voice but there was no sign of anyone in this cave except her. Then she realized that there was a CCTV inserted on the cave wall together with a sound box. "Now can you tell me who you are and what you are doing beside the stream?"
"Wae? You afraid that I would come together with police and arrest you once and for all." She tried to distract him with her words while thinking the way of escaping this damn place and informed to her father. "I heard that 'The Legend' was a man who's never known the meaning of fear. I think they were telling a bit over. As you are also a smart man, think about it if I were you, you'd come to the serial killer without preparing anything." She pretended to calm down and continue her speech
"This mountain area was already surrounded by the police. They didn't take any action because they haven't located your place exactly. So, they sent me first to check the surrounding. If they found out that I haven't come back yet, they'd probably followed my track and found this place sooner or later." She prayed that he'd buy her lying and hesitate to do something to hurt her.
He silent for a while and the door was opened from the wall and a tall figure was entering the room. She move her face to the other side and looking for a way of escaping. He was slowly walking to her together with her backpack. "You are lying." He said calmly. Her hope was collapsed in to several pieces when he said that words. "You are quite smart. Even I almost fall into your trap, if I didn't have your staffs and reading your diary - Park Shin Hye ssi, the sole daughter of the Commissioner General of police agency." He told her while he returning her backpack to her.
She was surprised and angry at the same time. She waited him to closer her and ambushed him by hitting him with her backpack and running toward the opening door. But she counted him out in his ability. He block the backpack with his one hand and grabbed her hand with one swift move and twisted her arm behind her back.
"Yahh! Let go of me, you psycho... Ahhh..." She shouted with pain when he tightened the twist of her arm. But she can't see him smiling at her widely on her back.
"Fine, if you like to call me psycho that much, how about tasting some psychotic ways of torturing a prisoner." He said it on purpose to tease her more. Without realizing the fact of seeing her angry expression, becoming one kind of fascinating to him. He straightened his face and hiding his smile before releasing her arms and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
