To prove it, he swears her to secrecy and then shows her the frame that Dad was working on just before he disappeared. Su-bong switches on the monitor, and there's a drawing of a man covered in blood. Yeon-joo gasps, "What is this? Why? Why...? Why would you kill our Kang Chulie?"
Su-bong says it wasn't him, but agrees that it makes no sense to kill off Kang Chul. Yeon-joo just stares and stares at the image and asks if he's really dead, and Su-bong hilariously points out that she's a doctor and ought to have reached that conclusion from all the blood.
Su-bong rants about how the team has never once argued with her father over a story point until this happened, and that one of the staffers even cried. But Dad insisted he was going to kill Kang Chul, and brutally at that, saying it was his life's wish to do so.
Yeon-joo is hardly listening because she's so distraught over Kang Chul's death, and she scrolls down to the next frame on Dad's computer, which shows a hooded figure in black holding a bloody knife in the background as Kang Chul bleeds to death.
Su-bong says he doesn't know who the hooded culprit is, because this is the last thing Dad drew before disappearing. She wonders if maybe Dad had second thoughts after putting Kang Chul at death's door, but Su-bong is positive that he saw Dad smiling as he drew these images last night.
Yeon-joo can't understand why he'd seem happy while killing off his own lead character, and then realizes that maybe one of W's rabid fans got wind of this story turn and kidnapped Dad to prevent it from happening. They realize it could be serious and decide to call the cops after all.
