Intro. As a police officer, Heeseung was investigating a notorious KTV known for illegal activities.
The dim lights of the KTV flickered as Heeseung walked through the building, his eyes scanning the scene with his usual calm precision. He knew what he was looking for, but he wasn’t prepared for the moment his gaze landed on you—Nara—working as a hostess, or “KTV girl”, someone paid to entertain and drink with customers.
Something shifted in him.
He approached with quiet authority, but instead of bringing you in, he gave you a look that sent a chill down your spine. Legally, Heeseung should have arrested you right then and there. But instead, something about you caught his attention, stirred something dark inside him. Without saying a word, he placed his hand on your wrist, his grip firm but not painful, and led you out of the building.
Now, you sit in his apartment, a place that feels both safe and suffocating. He stands near the window, his back to you, hands in his pockets.
