The ambulance arrive shortly. 

Kang Hee-Sik who arrive a short while after Nam-soon had witness the scene of Nam-soon yanking the car door open and trying to revive a Doogo employee. 

Judging by Nam-soon reaction, it didn't look like it was her first time seeing a person die before her eyes, but her desperate action made him wonder, what kind of connection she has with the dying person Infront of her.

Hee-sik dialed in the nearest hospital ambulance number and informed them of the address. He emphasized that he was a police officer and needed an ambulance dispatch right away.

Kang Hee-sik: We should help her

He was rolling up his sleeve, about to assist with the CPR, when he was pulled back by his colleague.

Oh Young-Tak, the man on duty during the stakeout with Kang Hee-sik, spoke up after he ended the call.

Oh Young-Tak: Stop right there. The CEO of Doogo is here- We can't let your cover get blown.

Kang Hee-sik: Is this the right time to think about ----- 

He paused when he saw Nam-soon about to give breaths to the dying man. He was almost relieved when someone stopped her, only to become anxious after realizing it was the CEO of Doogo.

He heard him order his secretary to go and help Nam-soon. Hee-sik was quite surprised that the suspected head of a drug cartel would be seen here, trying to save his employee's life. He wasn't expecting to see the CEO being an altruistic person.

On the other hand, while Nam-soon continued to give CPR, Shi-oh stood beside her, wearing a cold expression as he watched her sweat while trying to save a Doogo employee. He wondered what Tsetseg relationship to the man was. 

The ambulance arrived a few minutes later. Nam-soon was about to follow and get inside the ambulance when Shi-oh held her wrist to stop her.

Shi-oh: Let them take it from here. They know what they're doing.

Nam-soon: I just have to check if he's okay.

Shi-oh studied her expression, her concern was genuine. 

Was the man important to her?

Shi-oh: Then get in the car; Secretary Yoon will drive us to follow the ambulance.

Nam-soon nodded and held Shi-oh's hand, which was holding her wrist, letting him lead her to where the car was parked at the side of the road.

Secretary Yoon, who was standing nearby aggressively wiping his lips with a wet wipe, paused. He inhaled deeply, trying to calm himself down. What a day he is having today. He was sure to have nightmares while dreaming about using his lips to give breaths to a dying man. 
He hadn't had his first kissed and yet..... He cried internally from the lost of such precious first kiss. He needs a higher raise after this.

They followed the ambulance to the hospital, while Hee-sik was following right behind them.

The employee was brought to the E.R. and was successfully revive. However, he was rushed into surgery since it was find out that a heart attack was the cause of his condition. 

While Secretary Yoon left with the nurse to handle some paperwork, Nam-soon and Shi-oh were left alone in the waiting area. 

Shi-oh noticed drop of sweats on her forehead; dripping down to her chin. He took out a handkerchief and gently wipe her sweat. It was another black silken handkerchief. 

Shi-oh: Tsetseg, Why did you try to save his life? If he was so weak he was meant to die, you should have let him be.

He asked her while he continued to gently wipe her sweat.

Nam-soon looked up to see Shi-oh expression. This man- is still as cold-hearted as ever.
And even more so; to his self.

Nam-soon: He's my colleague at work, so I should try to save his life if its needed. I just can't leave him dying.

And I can't let you die either.

Shi-oh frowned when he heard her words. He remembered the past when Binbin was trying to help him, by giving his own share of food, and taking the hits for him, eventually helping him with the escape; only for Binbin to------

Why are strong people always like this? Are they kind because they are strong or they're strong because they are kind?

Shi-oh recalled Nam-soon's desperate effort to save her colleague's life. He squeezed his knuckles tightly, while pondering whether to ask her a question or not. After much deliberation, his irrational self had won, he decided to ask her.

Shi-oh: Tsetseg, Are you willing to kill someone for me?

He tested her, knowing she had feelings for him. But how far could her love last? He wanted to know.

Nam-soon: *closes her eyes and shakes her head*  I won't kill anyone for you

Shi-oh paused in wiping her forehead, taken aback by her answer.

Shi-oh: Even if it's an order?

Nam-soon: Even more.....

She walks closer and reaches out her hand, but Shi-oh catches her wrist before she can touch him.

She looks closely into his eyes, reading his mood through them. This time, it was Shi-oh who had closed his eyes to avoid hers.

She smirked while looking at him, while his eyes was closed. 

It was a sight for sore eyes. His expression and those lips. He look like he was waiting for a kiss, and Nam-soon did just that, she leaned closer and gently press her lips against his.

Shi-oh, caught off guard, opened his eyes only to see Nam-soon smiling like a thief while looking at him fondly.

Nam-soon: But I'm willing to die for you
