04 | ALEXITHYMIA: Copycat

• REVISED •

The team puts all of the pictures of the victims of the recent murders

"After looking through the backgrounds of the victims, they all share something in common. They're not good people" Jisoo said

"The first victim, Choi Hyunseok. He's the heir of Choi Corporation, he is known for his bad attitude and abusiveness towards his employees. He got killed in his room last month. Next, the college student Lee Meejin. She came from a simple family, she was seen as kind and friendly but after her death.. it turned out she wasn't who she is. She scammed a lot of her schoolmates, it summed up to 2 Billion won. Then days ago, the loan shark Ryu Dongjun was killed in a club.. short explanation, he was a loan shark who hurt people if they don't pay their debt. And lastly, the recent victim.. Lee Wonbin. He was convicted as a child rapist but was released on parole but was killed last night. Aren't they all horrible human beings?" Jisoo asked

"So you're saying this copycat of heart hunter uses the same method of killing from the blueprint but the difference is.. they choose who to kill unlike the heart hunter who kills without any hidden agenda?" Jeongyeon asked

"Maybe they do adore the heart hunter but they have their own principles and morals to follow. So they all only kill people who deserves to be killed" Dahyun said

"One question. Why now? It's been 17 years but why did they just decide to do this now?" Momo wondered

"Maybe they got arrested? They were overseas? Were still young? Who knows" Jeongyeon shrugs

"I'm in, I'll be taking in charge of this and I'll talk to dad for him to be the judge" Dahyun said

"While we hunt down this copycat, we should also find more information about Jeon Mirae. Knowing she's our suspected true Heart hunter" Jisoo said

Some time …

"Thank you again for agreeing on coming with me. It means a lot" Jisoo smiled, her and Y/n went to the asylum

"Why didn't you make Jeongyeon come with you? Isn't she your partner?" Y/n asked

"She is but she has another assignment, she's looking for the people related to Jeon Mirae"

"Why?"

"We concluded that the person behind the recent killings isn't the heart hunter but it's copycat. We think the copycat might be someone related to her" Jisoo said

'Now there's copycat? Everything started to get complicated after Chaeyoung started working at the firm' Y/n thought

A little later …

"Good afternoon, I'm the one who contacted you about Jeon Mirae" Jisoo bows

The doctor were in shock upon seeing Y/n

"H-hello" the doctor stuttered

"So.. have you got the old footage of Jeon Mirae, ma'am?" Jisoo asked

"Yes, it's inside the room" she said without taking her eyes off Y/n

"C'mon" Jisoo said and they get inside the room

Jisoo then puts the cassette tape on the player. Now a video of 16 year old Y/n starts playing on tv, Y/n looked how she looked before. She changed a lot, her appearance before looked messy because she doesn't take care of herself yet and hasn't had puberty. Jisoo wasn't able to know it's her because they only met when Y/n was already grown adult and in law school

The teenager Y/n formerly named Mirae is facing the doctor. The doctor let her see the flash card

"Okay, Mirae-ssi. What do you think the little girl is feeling in the picture?" The doctor asked. She's holding a picture of a little girl that is crying because of her broken toy
