"As long as we stay together
there's a place to call Home"

THEA FINDS herself seated on a humble wooden chair, in front of a mother and child whose lives she and Mun have recently rescued. Amid the bittersweet reflection, she feels a pang of disappointment for forfeited the having luxurious dinner reservation Mun had meticulously at one of the nation most's esteemed restaurants. Their commitment to duty has consumed their time, leaving little room for personal connection.

That's why their shared free time becomes an idyllic sanctuary where affections intertwine, whether it's indulging in cozy cuddles as they immerse themselves in captivating TV narratives, savoring delectable cuisine at fine eateries, or embarking on picturesque strolls through nature's embrace, hand in hand.

Thea and Mun yearned for a moment stolen of togetherness — a chance to reignite the spark that had brought them closer than ever before. they yearn for more than just being a team; they crave meaningful moments as a couple. But as fate would have it, today was not meant to be their day, forcing them to change their carefully laid-out plans for the greater good.

"Eat up before it gets cold" Ms. Chu encouraged, placing a bowl of noodles in front of the woman and the child

"Thank you" The woman thanked lowering her head, not being able to make eye contact with any of the Counters

"Oh, it's nothing" Ms. Chu exclaimed softly "We sell noodles, so that's what you got. It's Jun-hui, right? I hope you like the noodles. Do you like rolled eggs? How about a pork cutlet?" But the little boy didn't respond and instead started eating the noodles in his bowl

Thea would say that he's a little rude for not answering what his elders asked him but on the other hand she understood why he did it. He probably lived his entire life with an abusive father as a role model and never had the love from his father like he should have had. And so silence became his shield, shielding him from a life tainted by his abusive father.

"He seems to like it" Mun commented watching the little boy eat his noodles. Thea's face lit up with excitement when the bell above the glass door chimed "Mo-tak, how did it go?" Mun asked almost as soon as the aforementioned entered the restaurant

"Well, obviously, I took care of it" Mo-tak boasted proudly

"We had hard evidence" Thea added with a smile of relief drawn on her reddish lips

"It turns out he committed more than just domestic violence. He won't be out for a while" Mo-tak explained with both of his hands placed on his hips letting out a big sigh of relief

"It seems everything went the way you wanted. But one day, he may show up again. Is that okay with you?" Ms. Chu questioned, looking at the woman sitting in front of her with a sympathetic expression
