❝I sing a song like this with the one I was desperately looking for, be my only love, I don't have to hide my feelings anymore the words I sincerely wanted to say, "I love you" my only one❞

"It's only temporary. All of it"
THEA MAINTAINED A focused gaze on the bus ahead, determined not to lose track of it as it navigated through various turns and intersections. The individual they had been assigned to surveil was aboard that bus, and despite the seeming injustice of the situation, they were obligated to safeguard him from the grasp of Ma Ju-seok. They were aware that Ma Ju-seok would inevitably target Lee Chung-jae, and they could not permit him to further devastate the lives of the con artists, as this would only empower him and render him invincible.
Similarly, Thea felt a sense of unease as Mun stood alone outside the prison, waiting to ensure Lee Chung-jae's safe arrival. She was concerned that Ma Ju-seok may pose a threat to him once again. Despite trying to convince herself that Mr. Ma was a former friend who would not harm them, the incident at the hotel revealed a different reality. His willingness to harm and potentially kill them left her feeling even more apprehensive about the situation.
"Nothing?" Mrs. Chu asked Jeok-bong, who had his head out of the car window, inhaling the scent of the air with his hair tousled by the wind, while wearing transparent glasses on his nose to shield his eyes from the wind
"My nose is telling me that everything is fine so far" Jeok-bong replied with eyes shut, he took a deep breath, causing his nostrils to expand
"All right. I hope your nose works" Mrs. Chu responded with a look of concern, her attention focused on the bus ahead of them. Jeok-bong's recent history of unreliable judgment and inconsistent instincts caused doubt among those who listened to him, leading to a lack of genuine trust in his words
Thea released a sigh, reaching for the petite button on her earpiece "Mun, how's everything there?" she asked Mun over the earpiece as he stood outside Jungjin Penitentiary, awaiting the arrival of Lee Chung-jae with patience
Mun's eyes brightened involuntarily upon hearing Thea's voice emanating from the earpiece, a unique response elicited solely by Thea. At that instant, he completely disregarded the purpose of his presence outside the prison.
"It's quiet so far, Thea" Mun replied, his voice tranquil and his expression hinting at a smile, coming through the earpiece. Even though Thea was unable to visually perceive his smile, she was able to intuitively detect it, prompting her to reciprocate with a smile of her own
The atmosphere seemed serene, devoid of any danger or sign of Ma Ju-seok, instilling hope in Thea and her companions that the peaceful state would persist. As Thea slid open the car window to her side, she indulged in the invigorating freshness of the air while the sun's rays bathed her face, prompting her to momentarily shut her eyes and bask in the comforting warmth. Nevertheless, a repugnant odor swiftly assailed her senses, compelling her to pinch her nose and furrow her brow in an effort to block out the offensive smell.
