There Will Be Blood
Description
Do Kyungsoo, a highly gifted criminal profiler, is recruited to aid in investigating a series of unsettling murders. Although his unique mind is an asset to the investigation, something about the serial killer he hunts for weighs heavily on him for more reasons than he cares to admit. As the nature of the murders he is forced to examine grow increasingly explicit in their motive, Kyungsoo begins to struggle more than ever before to maintain the tenuous hold he has over his fragile psyche. Feelings he thought he had conquered long ago make themselves known to him once more with a vengeance and Kyungsoo soon realises he is not as free from his past as he had allowed himself to believe.
Foreword
There were always things that possessed the capability to draw certain memories to the surface of Kyungsoo’s mind. His memories were delicate, akin to feathery moths that lay in a resting lull in his mind — still, the place where they were housed was fragile and any disturbance that agitated them enough to take flight on their fluttering, paper thin wings left Kyungsoo bombarded by a violent cacophony of sounds, visions and sensations that boomed within his head, pounded on the backs of his closed eyelids and always seemed to leave his insides flared up and bruised beyond recognition.
It was something Kyungsoo had come to recognise: things that should have been gentle hurt him the most — smiling white teeth against tanned, olive skin. Dark windswept hair. A proffered hand and a gentle voice, imploring to him through soft, full lips — these were the memories that took flight in his mind, the terrible tenderness that Kyungsoo frequently found himself rendered immobile by. It was not the gentleness that hurt him, though, but rather the wrongness behind the joy.
