30 How long are you going to watch?

[FIVE YEARS AGO AT T MOUNTAIN]

Nam Ji Won leaves the room after Tae Il falls asleep. His foot is bandaged, but he will be fine after a few hours of rest. She comes to Lee Hyo Rin's room.

"Wear this." Lee Hyo Rin throws clothes at her. "I will do your make up."

"Okay." She takes the clothes and goes to the bathroom to change. She comes out in dark trousers, a white shirt, and a brown coat. Lee Hyo Rin gives her a brown wig. She does her make up to make her look more masculine.

"It's done." She puts down the brush. "You have to go to her room and knock the door two times. Then, you will smile at her and tell her that Baek In Jung sent the flowers and the wine for her birthday. If she doesn't invite you in, say that you have been requested to serve her personally. Pour her the drinks. She will fall asleep after drinking. Then, you change her clothes into a black robe...make it look like she was intimate. Put these pictures on the bed. Put another glass of wine. It should look like someone else was there."

She hands her the envelope.

"Isn't this too much?" Nam Ji Won eyes her warily.

"She is having affair with Baek In Jung," Lee Hyo Rin tells her without emotion.

"Still..." Nam Ji Won purses her lips.

"You are having second thoughts?" Lee Hyo Rin snorts. "Should I call your father?"

"Hmm, ok. I will do it." Nam Ji Won grumbles. "I should leave after this?"

"You should leave unless you want to get beaten up by my father."

Nam Ji Won leaves. She finds room 1441. She follows Lee Hyo Rin's instruction. A sophisticated woman in her early forties opens the door. She is wearing a black dress and a diamond necklace.

"Mr Baek sent these for you." Nam Ji Won shows her the flowers and the wine. She smiles at her brightly. "Happy Birthday, Mrs Lee."

"He sent these roses?" Mrs Lee takes the flower. "And my favourite wine too...How thoughtful of him!"

"He requested that I entertain you until he comes." Nam Ji Won feels jittery, but she calms herself down. She realizes that she is getting better at lying. She doesn't feel good about it. It feels wrong. Should she stop?

Her father will kill her if he finds out.

"Come in."

Nam Ji Won follows her inside. It's a luxurious suite. Everything looks costly. She wonders if the oxygen in the room is costly too. She shakes her head at the weird thoughts. Oxygen is free. Breathing is free.

"Serve me the wine." Mrs Lee smiles at her seductively. Nam Ji Won feels goosebumps rising in her body. She should serve the wine as soon as possible. She pours the first glass and gives it to Mrs Lee.

"You are quite handsome." Mrs Lee looks at her like she isn't wearing any clothes. Her chastity is in danger. She just smiles back politely and waits. She watches Mrs Lee take several sips

"Take your coat off."

Why isn't she asleep yet? Did Lee Hyo Rin trick her? Nam Ji Won takes her coat off and places it on the couch. She straightens up when she finds Mrs Lee looking between her legs. There's nothing, Madam.

"Strip."

Nam Ji Won puts off her socks first, waiting. She hears Mrs Lee chuckle. She looks up and finds her appearing sleepy. She takes off the second sock and looks up again. Mrs Lee is leaning down on the bed slowly. She takes the wine glass and puts it on the table.

"You are quite pure." Mrs Lee holds her hand. "I like to make flowers bloom."

Nam Ji Won doesn't understand what she means. However, Mrs Lee is already asleep. She takes a deep breath of relief. Her chastity is saved. She doesn't want to waste another moment. She follows Lee Hyo Rin's instructions. When it's all done, she hurries to the door to leave.

Suddenly, she hears heavy footsteps approaching. Someone is already here. She runs to the closet at her highest speed and jumps inside. She barely closes the closet when the main door is snapped open. The footsteps stop near the bed. Nam Ji Won could hear her own heartbeats. Where is Lee Hyo Rin? She will die at this rate. She doesn't want to get beaten up. If she gets caught, she will tell everything before they beat her up.

"You wench!" Nam Ji Won flinches when she hears the man's voice. She slightly pushes the closet's door and looks at the back of the man near the bed. He picks up the photos.

"So, you have been cheating on me..." His voice is deep and cold. "Where is he? Did he already leave?"

He waits for a moment and then, he slaps her face. "Wake up!"

"In Jung, my love, let me sleep." She turns on her side and moans. It only infuriates the man more.

"If you don't like waking up, how about sleeping forever?" He climbs over her. "I will kill you. I will kill him when he comes back."

He wraps his fingers around her pale throat. Nam Ji Won is frozen in her spot. She wants to scream at the man, but she is scared. She should stop him.

'Move,' She tells herself. 'Stop him...'

She feels that her feet refuse to listen to her. Her body is shaking with fear. She has never seen anything like this. She has never seen anyone die before. She didn't think that her action would lead to this.

"You deserve it." The woman is lying lifeless on the bed with red fingers print on her pale throat. The man gets up and spits on the woman's body. "Once a whore, always a whore."

The door unlocks again. Lee Hyo Rin walks in. She is wearing a red coat. She locks the door behind her. The man is shocked to see her there.

"Hyo Rin, what are you doing here?" He asks her shakily.

Lee Hyo Rin draws out a gun from her coat. "I am here to send you to my aunt."

"What?" The man is scared. He laughs tensely. "That's not for kids. You should give me the gun."

"It's real." She gazes at the gun with a cold smile. "It's real as it can be. Tell me, Uncle. How does it feel to kill someone? I can't wait to find out."

"Hyo Rin, I am sorry." He falls to his knees. "I am sorry for everything I did. Please...don't kill me. You will suffer in prison if you kill me."

"Will I?" Lee Hyo Rin steps closer to the man and puts the gun to his forehead. "Did you go to prison when you killed my mother? You didn't. Money can buy anything. That includes the law. I am doing the same here."

"Hyo Rin!" The man is perspiring badly. "I will do anything. I will never bother you. Please let me go."

"The reason...I went this far is to experience this." She bends closer to him. "You killed your wife because she cheated on you. Then, you killed yourself because you were too upset. You reek of alcohol. People do crazy things when they are drunk, right? Didn't you say that when my mother died?"

"Please...please..."

Nam Ji Won covers her ears when the gun is shot. The man falls to the floor. She watches Lee Hyo Rin putting the gun in his right hand. She notices that Lee Hyo Rin is wearing white gloves.

"Come out." Lee Hyo Rin stares at the closet. "How long are you going to watch?"
