After another awkward silence, they go outside to talk.Ĭho-rim tells Mu-gak that she knows her real name and that she’s the witness, and she can tell by his expression that he already knew. He warns her not to wear the outfit she was wearing tonight again, since Jae-hee probably recognizes clothing. Mu-gak praises Cho-rim’s quick thinking, and she thanks him for showing up when he did. Cho-rim tells Mu-gak about Jae-hee’s face-blindness, explaining that even though she was right in front of him, because Cho-rim didn’t speak, Jae-hee doesn’t know she’s Choi Eun-seol. In a surprisingly calm voice, Cho-rim asks if Jae-hee was going to kill her tonight, but Mu-gak only says the whole thing was very dangerous. They both realize that this is irrefutable proof that Jae-hee is the Barcode Killer. She tells him that Jae-hee called her Choi Eun-seol, and asked if she remembered him. He tells her that her dad made it home okay, and that he’ll fill her in on the rest tomorrow. (Random unrelated thought: how seriously cute is their house? Though I suspect it’s really a TARDIS - it’s bigger on the inside.)Ĭho-rim recovers, but when the doctor leaves, there’s some awkwardness between her and Mu-gak. Now he knows where Choi Eun-seol lives - he only needs to figure out how to find her. Oh takes a taxi home, unaware that Jae-hee followed him. One… two… ~needle scratch~ HAHA, Oh walks out the door confused, and Jae-hee looks like butter wouldn’t melt in his mouth. Meanwhile Ki and Yeh have decided Jae-hee is lying about Detective Oh, and draw their guns to force their way inside. He quickly hides the syringes and ketamine (a powerful drug that causes sedation and memory loss) that he’d readied, just in time for Oh to wake and apologize for drinking too much.Įmbarrassed, Oh grabs his phone and starts to leave, and Jae-hee warns him about the cops outside. He takes Oh’s phone from his pocket and deletes the text he sent to Cho-rim, and leaves the phone on the floor. He blocks their entry and goes inside to get Oh, but once he’s in, he thinks fast. Jae-hee readily admits that Detective Oh is here, and that he’s simply sleeping off a bit too much wine. Jae-hee wakes up in time to be standing when the detectives get to him, and they ask if he knows why a missing person’s phone might be transmitting from his house. Mu-gak carries her out to his car just as Detectives Ki and Yeh show up, and he tells them where to find Jae-hee while he takes Cho-rim to the hospital. Back in the living room, Cho-rim succumbs to the adrenaline and stress, and passes out. They search the house (the parts they know, anyway) but Detective Oh is nowhere to be found. Did you really just leave the murderer alone?! He struggles but lowers the gun, and he and Cho-rim go inside to look for her father. Seeing his chance for revenge, Mu-gak aims his gun at Jae-hee’s head.īut Cho-rim grabs his arm and begs him not to do it, or he’ll only become a murderer, too. When Jae-hee comes outside, Mu-gak pistol-whips him and he falls unconscious. Mu-gak and Cho-rim make it outside and hide around the corner from the front door, Mu-gak with gun drawn. When he sees his target is gone, he roars in wordless frustration. She gets up and runs for the blue crystals, making it to Mu-gak before Jae-hee switches the lights back on. She trips on a step and turns to see Jae-hee feeling his way along the wall, his own scent bright gold and all sharp knife-edges. Oooh, smart - Mu-gak cut the lights, knowing that Cho-rim could still see his scent in the dark and come to him, which is exactly what she does. Something catches her eye and she turns to see ( ohthankgoodness) Mu-gak’s crystal blue scent drifting into the room. She stands stock-still, even when he reaches out and caresses her hair the way he did that first night they met. But he knows that she’s Choi Eun-seol, and asks in a frightening voice, “You know me, right?”Ĭho-rim has the presence of mind to remember that if she doesn’t speak, he won’t know it’s her, and struggles to hold her voice. We see her face shift from his point of view, unable to determine exactly what she looks like. And the killer isn’t about to stand still while they hunt him down – he’s more than ready to reveal himself if it means finding his own quarry before they find him.Ĭho-rim is frozen when Jae-hee surprises her with a hand on her shoulder, and he stares at her for a long moment with those dead eyes. The detective team swing into action with the help of an unexpected volunteer, though her lack of training could get them all in trouble if they aren’t careful. It’s time to catch a killer, and time is running short. 136 JanuGirl Who Sees Smells: Episode 12 by LollyPip
