name of the victim: park soon.

name of the accused: chae hyungwon.

her heart stopped for a minute as she read the words written on those pages. for a second, she had to hold onto anything that was close to her, for her surprise, it was jaeyoon's jacket.

"agasshi?" he asked worried, catching her before she could fall.

she blinked twice as she felt her temples throbbing. "i-it can't be." she muttered.

"what is she saying?" inseong asked confused.

"agasshi are you alright? should we call a doctor?"

"stupid dumbass, she is a doctor." inseong said rolling his eyes. both of the security guards stared at her with confusion.

she shook her head. "i need to go." soon collected all the scattered documents and put them back inside the folder. the two guys tried to stop her by telling her she couldn't take those papers but she wouldn't listen.

soon rushed to her car and quickly drove away from that place. she'd look frantically at each side of the street as she drove, somehow the feeling of being watched was now present again.

she couldn't believe her own eyes. her stalker, during her university years had been hyungwon, chae hyungwon all this time. her patient.

even though she was in denial completely, she started to realize that lots of things made sense now, especially nam gun's irrational hate.

as she looked up she realized she had arrived the clinic. she wiped the tears away and quickly made her way inside. "dr. park you're back so soon?" the security guard asked, but she didn't pay attention to him, she went straight to the stairs, towards dr. lee's office.

"dr. park you can't go in there!" his assistant yelled but she didn't care, she went inside either way.

soon noticed he wasn't alone, there were two nurses and a fellow doctor inside, talking with dr. lee. "excuse me but we need to talk sajangnim."

dr. lee glanced at the rest and they all bowed, clearly understanding that he needed time alone with soon. "soonie-ssi... you look stressed." he said narrowing his eyes, somehow trying to understand what was going on with her.

she threw the folder on top of his desk as she tried to calm her breathing. "he was my stalker." she simply said.

dr. lee's eyes widened as he rushed through the paperwork inside the folder. he couldn't hide his surprise. right before him there was the police report of soon's stalker.

"it can't be." he said, believing it was all a bad joke.

"how could we miss this?" she asked desperate as she walked around the office, running her hands through her tousled hair.

dr. lee remained quiet, checking all the paperwork. "i am so sorry- soon... i didn't know. i swear." he seemed honest and of course she believed him. after all, he had been her therapist back then, when she was dealing with anxiety, provoked by hyungwon himself, her unknown stalker.

"this is why he hates me so much." she said pointing at the files. "rejection."

"but didn't you recognize him?" he asked confused.
