Blossom Tears

She woke up suddenly in a large room illuminated in white light. At first Ye Eun thought she was in the hospital, but soon found out that it was a completely different place. In one moment Ye Eun remembered what had happened before she suddenly lost consciousness. Ye Eun was going back on foot from the party, at which she quarreled with her boyfriend, felt cold because did not take anything warmer, since she came to the party with him in his car... Then a familiar car drove past her but then stopped nearby and Ye Eun was glad to see a familiar face, but then she began to feel uncomfortable and at some point lost consciousness. Ye Eun felt that she shouldn't be here now. Danger - this word was unbearably pounding in her head all the time. Ye Eun didn't know why she agreed to go to him. From the very beginning she felt that something is wrong with him. So why did she agree? That was a very good question... Nevertheless, Ye Eun didn't trust him at all, even though they had known each o

Soo Min woke up hearing the phone ringing. Unfortunately, forgetting that she fell asleep on the couch in the living room, Soo Min fell to the ground wanting to reach for the table with her eyes still half-closed.- Damn it.- she cursed, rising from the floor and finally catching the ringing phone in her hand and sighed, seeing who was calling, but answered.- Hello, mother? How do you feel?- she said to the person on the other side.- Kim Soo Min, you ungrateful girl!- her mother's voice sounded like a thunderbolt.- This time the candidate was really from the top shelf. Handsome, tall, nice and in addition a doctor, earning a lot... How dare you not show up?!- she said in resentment.- Mom... I asked you not to match me with anyone without my permission. But you are still organizing dates behind my back and telling me a day before to go on them.- Soo Min replied, trying to sound as polite as possible, though she was really angry.- Yah! I remind you that you are

( *Sunbae - someone higher in hierarchy in school or work, usually older.)Soo Min wanted to complete the paperwork that was left after solving of her recent case but unfortunately the worst enemy, officer Min Joo Chan, came into the office holding a paper cup filled with instant coffee and as usual wasn't going to leave her alone. He finished his coffee, crushed the paper cup and dropped it into the nearby trash can, then approached closer.- Yah, Kim Soo Min.- said Joo Chan, leaning lightly on her desk.- I heard that you managed to catch another criminal. How did you do it? By the power of your PMS?- he added clearly amused and pleased with the joke he had created. The muffled laughter could be heard from the others around the room. As she thought, after the departure of officer Kim, no one even intended to admonish Joo Chan. He was probably an idol for all of them.- Wow, sunbae*, great joke.- Soo Min answered with a distinct note of sar

After organizing all the files, Soo Min and Hyun Woo immediately went through them to thoroughly learn about the "Cherry Blossom Reaper" case. It all started at the beginning of the year, in January, about five months ago, since it was May now.The first victim was Lee Eun Jung, a 21 year old model from an agency run by a man named Seo In Sung. The next day after her disappearance, Eun Jung was found in the same place where she was kidnapped, with a slit throat. Next to her was a small bouquet made of artificial cherry blossoms, all petals sprinkled with the girl's blood. The marks on her wrists and ankles indicated that she had been strapped to something before death. The time of death was defined as five minutes before midnight of the previous day, i.e. exactly 5 hours after she has been kidnapped. Then it seems that Lee Eun Jung was transported to the place from which she disappeared, along with the bouquet. There were no witnesses, and CCTV in this place was located in a wa

Knowing the building well, she climbed the stairs to the 1st floor without hesitation, and Hyun Woo followed her like a shadow. They entered a corridor at the end of which was a door with the inscription 'Cyber Security Division'. Soo Min put her ID card on the reader located on the nearby wall and pulled the handle, opening the door. Hyun Woo came in with her, closing the door behind him. Several people in the main office said hello to Soo Min, and she replied, Hyun Woo bowed every now and again, seeing curious looks on himself. The first thing he quickly noticed was that definitely more women worked here. Soo Min finally stopped at the next door
