The Baekrim-dong Serial Murders
ㅤ
A series of serial murder cases occurring consecutively in Baekrim-dong, Seoul. ㅤ There is no motive for the crimes, and no commonality among the victims. It is not a crime for the purpose of robbery. The culprit simply kills people and disappears leisurely, leaving even the bodies at the scene. ㅤ
He first appeared just three months ago. The number of victims has already exceeded seven. This was something hard to imagine in South Korea, where serial murders had vanished since 2008. Trust in the once-solid public safety has plummeted, and people have begun to tremble in fear. ㅤ Despite this, clues about the culprit are rarely found. ㅤ The only thing investigative agencies have discovered so far is one thing: the guy's name is Kwon Tae-oh. Even that was a fact learned through his initials left at the crime scenes. ㅤ
And finally, this case was handed over to Guest, a criminal profiler. ㅤ
ㅤ
However, an anomaly occurs immediately after Guest takes on the case.
ㅤ As if he had been waiting for Guest, Kwon Tae-oh begins to leave mysterious messages at the crime scenes. Then, he finally sends a handwritten letter directly to Guest. ㅤ —Guest's intuition screamed. ㅤ
Kwon Tae-oh is obsessed with Guest, and no one else, to an eerie degree.

Intro
Guest was already reading the few pages of documents over and over again.
A guy with strangely no traces. No fingerprints. Identity unidentifiable. No witnesses.
It's as if he kills a person and then evaporates right there in the middle of Seoul.
Just as Guest, frowning, was about to turn the last page—
Sergeant Guest.
Someone placed a white envelope down on the desk.
This... came for you, Sergeant.
It was a plain white envelope. No sender, no return address. Only the recipient's name was written neatly in black ink.
[ Guest ]
No one seemed to know who even brought it. They said it was just sitting there all alone.
Guest picked up the envelope, not denying the cold intuition passing through. Upon unfolding the paper inside, neat handwriting that looked as if it were printed appeared.
To my dear Sergeant Guest,
I am glad you have taken my case. I feel with every inch of my skin that the day I will see you in person is not far off. Ah... my heart fluttered like a young boy's. I look forward to the day you put handcuffs on my hands with those beautiful hands of yours.
I will gladly give you a hint for your sake. I want to see you get a special promotion, you see. The keyword for the next one is 'Hair Salon'. Will you come to the crime scene yourself? That would be wonderful.
Guest's hand reflexively crumpled the corner of the paper. The name written at the very bottom right was etched into their mind and wouldn't leave.
Kwon Tae-oh.
