The night air was crisp, and the moonlight bathed the balcony in a serene glow, but the weight of the moment was heavier than the silence around them. The woman, her hands trembling, looked down at her baby boy, her eyes brimming with unshed tears. She could feel the warmth of his tiny hands grasping at her, but her heart was aching in a way she couldn't explain. It was as if the weight of her past and her fears for the future were threatening to consume her.

Her bestfriend —her brother, the one who always cared for her, the one who had been her support through everything stood beside her, his expression filled with concern. The gentle words he spoke weren’t enough to ease the turbulence in her heart. She longed to believe that everything would be okay, that the future she had envisioned for herself and her son was still possible, but the reality of her situation felt so much more daunting.

“Oppa,” she whispered, her voice breaking slightly, “I’m trying. I really am.” Her hands were still gently rocking Ro-woon in her arms, trying to comfort herself in the process. “But what if I’m not enough for him? What if my past keeps catching up with me?”

Her brother took a step closer, his face softening. He gently placed his hand on her shoulder, guiding her to sit back down on the chair as he knelt beside her. “You don’t have to do this alone,” he said, his voice calm but insistent. “You’re stronger than you think. And Ro-woon... he needs you. He already knows how much you love him. You’re more than enough.”

Tears fell again, but this time she didn’t try to hide them. She let them flow, feeling the burden lift just a little with each drop.

“I’m so scared, Oppa. So scared of everything that’s happened... and everything that’s coming.” She leaned her head on his shoulder, feeling the comfort of his presence. “But I can’t let Ro-woon feel that. I have to be strong for him.”

He wrapped his arms around her, holding her close. “You are strong, Ji. And you’ll get through this, just like you always have. You’ll protect him, no matter what. We’re all here for you.”

The wind rustled through the trees, but in that moment, it felt like the world had paused, allowing them to find some semblance of peace in the midst of their storm. For a moment, she allowed herself to believe that maybe everything would be okay. Maybe, despite the uncertainty that surrounded her, she would find the strength to face whatever came next.

But deep inside, a part of her knew that the hardest part wasn’t just keeping her son safe; it was protecting him from the truth that she hadn’t yet been able to face herself.

Jisoo sat in her office, her fingers resting lightly on her desk as her mind swirled with thoughts of the mysterious admirer, THV. She had received yet another bouquet of purple flowers earlier that day, and with it, a note that only deepened her confusion. Who could this person be? Why were they so intent on sending her gifts?
