Y/n's POV-

Exhaling shakily as you trembled from both the cold and adrenaline rushing through your veins, you then quickly turn your gaze back towards Moon Jo.

His eyes were sharply fixated on the road ahead as he gripped the steering wheel tightly with one hand, his other still holding onto the piece of paper your mother handed him.

Looking down at his hand, you then reach over and grab his enclosed fist, gently unfolding it to reveal the blood stained paper.

You noticed the several cuts on Moon Jo's hand, making you slightly huff out as you grabbed the paper.

Bringing it towards you, you then unravel it and read the contents of it, feeling your jaw unconsciously clench.

Within the note read an address...Min Ho's name written underneath it.

"He already managed to take you away from me once, Y/n...I won't let that happen again." Moon Jo suddenly speaks up.

Staring down at the paper, you swallow hard just before you feel Moon Jo's hand suddenly rest on your thigh.

"It won't take long..." He continues, "but i'll need your help."

Looking up and back over towards him, you meet his dark gaze that almost immediately softens for you.

"Could you do that for me?" He asks, now very gently squeezing your thigh.

Now steadying your breathing, you keep your gaze on him as you then nod your head.
"...always."

A gentle smile then appears on Moon Jo's face as he then turns his attention back towards the road.

You then crumble the piece of paper in your hand as you deeply exhale, Moon Jo now stepping on the gas a bit harder.

Min Ho's POV-

Now standing in the shower, I shut my eyes as I sigh deeply, feeling the hot water run down my body as my mind continued to race.

~ Flashback ~

"...I want to feel like the hero you all make me out to be...I want to feel good about what's happened, knowing that people are safe now. But I can't help but feel like shit knowing that the one person who needed help the most, I managed to not only neglect back then, but nearly fucking kill." I admit.

"Min Ho-" Hee Joon starts,

"Don't." I cut him off, now looking back out the window as I shrug.

~ Flashback end ~

Now opening my eyes, I push my hair out of my face as I sigh again, my overwhelming feelings of guilt now growing strong once again.

~ Flashback ~

Hee Joon swallows hard as he looks out the window too.

"Well, if it's worth anything now, I need you to know that I'm proud of you." He says, causing me to look over at him.

"Every decision you made on this case, regardless of what you could or not have done differently, you still managed to put Moon Jo away. Which above all, is what this city needed most." He finishes, looking back at me.
