"'You can't protect everyone...'
I have to try"

THE AMBIANCE IN THE ROOM was grave and laden with tension, suggesting that Mo-tak had possibly discovered a lead on Lee Jung-Jae's whereabouts, although there was uncertainty about its reliability. While the others were keen to learn more about the new information, Thea remained fixated on memories of a certain boy who bore a striking resemblance to her late brother, prompting her to ponder the significance of sharing the same name. Deep in thought, Thea's hands were folded as she contemplated possible explanations, yet nothing seemed to bring her any solace.

She maintained the belief that the young man could be her sibling, clinging to the possibility that he had not perished but had instead come back to safeguard her as an elder family member. However, she was mindful not to indulge in fanciful ideas that lacked a basis in the truth.

"Check this out" Mo-tak expressed with enthusiasm as he set his phone down on the table, the screen showcasing a recording of some kind. This prompted Thea to redirect her attention to matters more significant than her own irrelevant musings. She did so prior to Mo-tak pressing the 'play' button and initiating the playback of the recording

"Why haven't you been picking up?" A mysterious male voice asked "How did it go?" Suddenly, the sound of someone hitting a golf ball with a club in the background was audible

"Nice shot, sir"

"Golf? He's playing golf" Hana she stated with crossed hands and legs, sitting at the table with a composed expression. She displayed a serious demeanor as she tilted her head slightly to the side

"Keep listening" Mo-tak gestured towards the screen, resuming the recording and encouraging the team members to direct their attention towards what is of genuine importance.

"How did it go? Hey, answer me. President Lee is asking" Mo-tak halted the recording, exhaling a profound breath filled with irritation and weariness

"By 'president' he meant Lee Chung-Jae" Mun expressed with seriousness, resting his arm on the table while closely observing the team and placing his hand under his chin with seriousness

"Rumor has it that he's an avid golfer" Mo-tak concurred before elaborating on his thoughts "If he knew that the police were tailing Jae-youl, he may have wanted Jae-youl dead. It makes sense"

"That bastard is playing golf amid everything" Mun expressed with gravity, his tone marked by fervent disdain, prompting those around him to acknowledge the undeniable truth through silent nods and sighs

"Mun, that's not whats important right now" remarked Jeok-bong, with one hand supporting his chin as he pondered. This action led everyone to observe him with furrowed brows, appearing to question his rationality or motives
