One month later:

"Hey, pumpkin, I missed you!" Mina leaned over and hugged Lily, who cheerfully threw herself on her neck. "I missed you too, my friend!" the girl rubbed her nose cheerfully in hers.
Mina took the child in her arms and sat down in her chair, placing her on her lap.
Lily settled down comfortably, and her sparkling gaze looked at Mina critically. "You need some colors!" she wrinkled her nose sweetly, examining her white shirt and gray jacket. "Do you think so?" Mina laughed, pretending to look around no less critically and shaking her head.
"Here." Mina helped Lily take off her sunflower jacket. The girl placed it on her chest with a smile, even covering her chin. "You look like a princess!" Lily exclaimed happily, clapping her little hands as she jumped on Mina's lap. "Let's see?" Mina reached over, hugged Lily, and pulled a small mirror from the first drawer on her desk. She lifted him over the child's head and looked around critically, her lips "God! You're right, pumpkin! Immediately after work, I'll go buy such a dress!" Mina announced and Lily screamed, happily hugging her. "Yeah, we're going shopping!" Lily applauded even more enthusiastically and Mina burst out laughing.
"Okay, okay, now tell me, are you having lunch already?" Mina tamed her before the little one hit the ground. "No, Mrs. Min had some work to do, and we didn't have time." Lily explained, making a sweet face. Mina looked at her watch, it was five minutes until her lunch break, so it would hardly be a problem to go to lunch earlier. "Okay, let's go fill that sweet stomach!" she said, and Lily nodded with a happy smile.Laying her on the ground, Mina took Lily's hand and the two headed for the rest room, happily talking about Mina's future new dress.

Taehyung leaned back, watching his daughter and the gray mouse walk hand in hand down the hall. He smiled at his daughter's happy smile, shaking his head. The two seemed to get along very well, because in the last month, every time Lily visited the office, she first ran to her new friend and spent at least an hour with her, and then, on top of her happiness, rushed to him to tell him how much she also had a good time laughing with Zhang Mina.
A knock on the door tore him away from the monitor. "Come in!" he sat up straighter. "Mr. Kim, Lily is with Miss Zhang, if I can I'll go." Ms. Min smiled slightly and Taehyung nodded.
As soon as the nanny closed the door, he stared at his daughter and Mina again. The two entered the rest room, and he moved the camera. Mina placed Lily at one of the tables, went to the refrigerator, and pulled out a well-wrapped sandwich and a small bottle of juice. She touched the bottle to her cheek, opened it, and put it in the microwave for a moment, apparently thinking it was too cold for his daughter. Satisfied with the result, after another check, she handed the juice to Lily and sat down next to her, with only a bottle of water for herself.
The room had slowly begun to fill with people gathering for lunch. Mina's face changed immediately, her smile fading, and she was replaced by a dry, bored expression that faded, and the smile returned as Lily turned to her. Taehyung couldn't understand why she was always on the sidelines. Her relationship with Lily, on the other hand, was like that of a caring mother who adores her daughter. Mina paid full attention to her, patiently listening to the five-year-old's chatter and entertaining her in every way, spending hours after work meeting each time to catch up on her job, which she left for later because of his daughter.
"Is she with her again?" Taehyung shook his head. "Yes." he smiled crookedly. "The two spend a lot of time together when Lily is here." he said, looking at Hoseok. "Last week at the barbecue, Lily told me a lot about her new friend." Hoseok laughed. Taehyung looked at his friend. His daughter kept talking about Zhang Mina, explaining what she had promised her or what they were laughing at, telling him about another new game her new friend had shown her. Taehyung had begun to worry that Lily was too attached to the young woman, but his heart wouldn't let him end the relationship.
"Yeah, you really have to listen to Jin and remarry." Hoseok shook his head. "Maybe this Zhang Mina is just another proof that Lily needs a mother, too." Taehyung stared at the monitor again. His daughter was just vigorously explaining something to the woman against her, laughing.
"No, Hyung, I don't need a woman right now." he sighed. His friends had been trying for years to settle him with all sorts of women, but he quickly rejected them, or they left on their own when he mentioned he had a child. All these women were one-dayers chasing money and luxury, and he, as a single father, had no intention of traumatizing his daughter again by contacting a woman who was likely to reject the child or treat her like an unwanted burden.
"You've been alone for almost six years, Taehyung. Lily already understands. Do you think she hasn't noticed you're lonely. Or rather, sad, she said." Taehyung stumbled. "What did she tell you?" he asked, watching as Mina carefully washed the children's hands, disposed of the remains, and, under the curious glances of the other employees, led Lily out of the rest room. "Not to me." Hoseok shook his head. "She told Jimin that in the evening when you're alone, you're sad." he explained. Taehyung sighed. His daughter trusted her uncles more than he trusted him. "Even at five, your daughter is an alert and smart child. You can't hide anything from her." Hoseok laughed.
Taehyung knew that his daughter was too old for her age and noticed things she shouldn't. But he was not alone, he was just cautious. Until recently, he thought he hadn't looked for another woman because he missed Lily's mother. But he had not felt sad for a long time when he thought of her, only hatred for his daughter's wounded feelings.
After his ex-wife left them for a wealthy american, leaving her seven-month-old daughter in the care of her father without caring more about them, Taehyung became depressed, desperate to lose the woman he loved and hurt both of them.  Once he realized that the love he had suffered for was in fact fleeting, his only concern was his daughter's well-being. And it ruled out another woman who would disappoint them by leaving them.
"It's a company outing soon, as far as I can remember, isn't it?" Taehyung nodded. "Why don't you take Lily with you, she'll have fun." Hoseok raised an eyebrow, watching his friend's face intently as he watched his daughter run, holding Mina's hand. "Perhaps, this year there are fewer employees who decided to participate." Taehyung shrugged. "Is this Miss Zhang one of them?" Hoseok asked, grinning. "As far as I know, yes." Taehyung nodded. "So you have nothing to think about, Lily will be happy to spend the weekend with her new friend." he grinned and winked at Taehyung. Taehyung made a face. Three days in the woods with his energetic daughter and a dozen other employees, what fun! "I'll think about." he sighed, aware that Hoseok would do anything to convince Lily how much fun it would be, and she in turn would change his mind.

The woman's body hung in his arms as he continued to move inside her. Moaning, he pushed himself deep again, and at the same time stabbed the knife deep into her ribs, even though she was already dead. His body shook from her orgasm, growling, he thrust the blade into her flesh once more. "Ah, doll, your cries will haunt my dreams for a long time!" he stepped back and stared piercingly at the body, which hung higher on the ceiling of a metal pipe. "At least it was more fun than the previous one, doll, I'm not sorry." his gaze followed the semen running down her bloody thighs. The man grinned contentedly. He closed his zipper, wiped his hands on his trousers, and reached into his pocket, pulling out a few bills that he tossed into the dead woman's face. "Here's what all whores want, right?" he gritted his teeth. "Answer me, bitch!" her head jerked as his fist hit her chin.
When he didn't get an answer, he frantically punched the lifeless body. Blood spattered everywhere as the blows hit some of the many slits, staining his clothes. It only increased his anger and excitement, making him think of the next time he would fuck her.
