First Room-Who is the Real Culprit #5

.
I asked, gripping Seongtae's hand that was holding mine together.
Emma
Emma
Do you... trust me...?
Seongtae seemed flustered by my question,
but soon looked me in the eyes and spoke.
Seong-tae Lee
Seong-tae Lee
Of course, I trust you. Why? Is something wrong?
Though I decided to tell Seongtae,
I couldn't tell him the whole story about the escape room,
so I decided to make up a story.
Emma
Emma
...I had a dream.
Seong-tae Lee
Seong-tae Lee
A dream?
Seongtae questioned.
Emma
Emma
Yeah. It was a dream...
Emma
Emma
It was a dream about me dying.
Emma
Emma
I saw a newspaper article of tomorrow's date...
Emma
Emma
It was a newspaper article saying that I died.
Emma
Emma
The ring Murderer,
Emma
Emma
No, what Lee Jangjun did this time was exactly the same as the crimes he committed before.
Even as I was saying this, I wondered if Seongtae will believe me
I sneaked a glance at Seongtae's expression.
Emma
Emma
Am I...going to die by Lee Jangjun's hands?
Seong-tae Lee
Seong-tae Lee
Lee Jangjun is said to have been released from the mental hospital.
Seong-tae Lee
Seong-tae Lee
You're just worried because of that.
Seong-tae Lee
Seong-tae Lee
That's just a dream, isn't it?
Emma
Emma
But...!
Knowing for certain that Sooah is going to die, I felt frustration in that situation.
So, explaining this situation to Seongtae
I couldn't think of any way to make him understand.
Emma
Emma
The dream... the dream was too vivid...
Emma
Emma
My photo with the severed finger was printed in the newspaper...
I can just appeal to him to believe in me...
Seong-tae Lee
Seong-tae Lee
Honestly, it's hard to believe but...
Is it because of my desperate face got through?
Seongtae let out a deep sigh and started talking.
Seong-tae Lee
Seong-tae Lee
It's not like there is absolutely no possibility.
Seong-tae Lee
Seong-tae Lee
Lee Jangjun committed 6 crimes before leaving Korea.
Seong-tae Lee
Seong-tae Lee
But after leaving Korea,
Seong-tae Lee
Seong-tae Lee
and after going in and out of prison and mental hospital,
Seong-tae Lee
Seong-tae Lee
he couldn't commit murder for over ten years.
Seong-tae Lee
Seong-tae Lee
Perhaps... he must be filled with a desire for murder...
Seong-tae Lee
Seong-tae Lee
on top of that, Lee Jangjun's house is right around here.
Seong-tae Lee
Seong-tae Lee
Even if he says he found a target to kill around him, there's nothing strange about it.
I simply nodded my head.
Emma
Emma
Then maybe...
Emma
Emma
Should we report it to the police?
Seong-tae Lee
Seong-tae Lee
The police? But Sooah...
Seongtae hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Seong-tae Lee
Seong-tae Lee
Would the police believe us?
Seong-tae Lee
Seong-tae Lee
Even I, who have been watching you for a long time, find it hard to believe...
Seong-tae Lee
Seong-tae Lee
Even if I tell the police it all happened in a dream,
Seong-tae Lee
Seong-tae Lee
I don't think they'll believe us.
Listening to Seongtae, I realized he was right.
If I ask someone to protect me because I'm going to die today... who would do it?
Then there's only one solution.
Emma
Emma
(In this place where I have no one to rely on, it's still better to be together than alone...)
I hesitated and asked.
Emma
Emma
Can you stay with me today?
