When you’re accused of a crime isn’t it natural to deny it?
A guilty person will deny it.
An innocent will deny it.
But Lee Dongsik never does this.
The entire time Han Juwon was hounding him he threw out taunts and his own accusations expounding on Juwon’s belief that Dongsik must be guilty.
I alway wondered why he didn’t say, “I didn’t do it.” Not that Juwon would have believed him, but not even saying it once? To the accusation that he killed his sister, his twin? He must have been choking on the words. So why? Why allow this arrogant little shit to continue to show up day after day and push him around?
In his own way Dongsik was protecting Juwon. Because what if…
What if he actually convinced Han Juwon that he WAS innocent. Because Han Juwon is smart. He’s got the wrong guy this time, but he’s still smart. The evidence might persuade him. But what then?
What if Han Juwon gave up Lee Dongsik as the suspect. No, no it would be much worse than that.
What if Han Juwon took his stubborn self and his relentlessness and started hounding someone that really was a killer.
“Oh ho, look at your little self. Did you just brake into my basement and no one knows you’re here? I just happen to be fixing up this hole that happens to be body shaped. Let me show you.”
And Han Juwon was never seen again.
Maybe it’s not likely, but that’s where Dongsik’s mind goes. People disappear in this town.
So he smirks and acts the crazy everyone thinks he is just enough to keep the kid coming back to him, to his basement, and if his shirt collars continue to be wrinkled… oh well
