All the roses wilt and
fade away, but they
leave behind

No one knew anything about the monster who left behind nothing but the blood from the people he has taken the lives of. This sinner has killed over 23 people in the course of 6 years, a curse born inside their country.

He was the infamous murderer named Rose by the police, because of mysteriously leaving red roses on his victims' bodies.

Even the detective himself cannot decipher the reason of why the murderer was leaving such elegant flowers at the lifeless bodies of the people he once killed.

He leaves no trace, fingerprints nor a strand of hair, but a single rose, the same color of the blood he has taken from his victims. The red roses that still have no known reason to why he puts it.

Everytime the criminal leaves a body, lying down, lifeless and cold, the whole country will be alarmed as almost everyone knows of him. And are terrified they might be next.

He is everywhere. The media, the newspapers and even in the quiet but frightened whispers from mouths of the people that don't really know of whom they speak about.

No one knows the gender, the face, anything about the said monster. Nothing. His case file would be the thinnest one in the police's office. The only clues they have would be nothing but the red roses. Nothing to lead them to him.

This case has been hanging for several years now, not one person knows anything about him which is why they changed the person in charge. To a well-known detective that they said to have solved his held cases miraculously.

Wonshik sighs as he looks back to his year as a detective. The previous cases that he has held before, he could easily look into them and solve it in a snap. But he has been stuck with this for over a year and it annoys him.

In the 3 years that he'd been with the police, Wonshik never once failed in solving a case. But this was different, and he knew something was missing though he couldn't tell what. Rose was like a ghost that haunted the cities of Korea---a god that runs amok, leaving behind a bloody trail of no longer beating hearts.

However, Wonshik knew that this Rose was simply a person---a human bound to make mistakes---and he was set on bringing this person down. Wonshik was prepared to drag this murderer to hell, even if it means he'd have to go there with him.

a dark cloud that casts
a shadow over the
people's hearts.
