Scarlet walks closer to the man standing in front of her with his back facing her. She's done with her conversation with his old classmate Max. Now she stands beside him. There's a comfortable silence between them as both of their eyes are locked on the people working on the traffic poles and street lights.
Scarlet steals a glance at the buffy figure besides her in his office attire that makes him more attractive than a man could ever be.
She studies his expressions, he's so blank all the time, she thinks and looks at the direction that got his full attention. He's looking at the cameras like he's memorizing the positions.
He's too serious about this Job, she hears her voice at the back of her mind and sighs deeply as a little smile appears on her face. It's not a daily life thing to see a man so serious about his Job and that's something she likes the most about a person. .
" Kim, I don't know why you're doing this all but you don't need to protect me. I've been capable of protecting myself since I was a teenager, okay? So you don't need to-"
" I don't need to but I have to and I want to. "
His words made her mind blank for a millisecond. She tosses her hand in his direction looking for a hint of lie in his words but there's none. A moment of silence passes after receiving no reply from her, he finally looks at her direction finding her looking at him already.
He turns his body in her direction, clasping his hands at his back
" You always protect others, don't you? A protector needs a protector too. No matter how powerful you are or how many skills you have, you need to be protected too. That doesn't make you weak, Scarlet. Stop overdoing things. "
She looks back and forth in his eyes, her lips part but no words come out of her mouth. It seems like she even forgot how to speak at the moment. It's the first time someone is willing to protect her and it's something hard to digest.
Before she could say anything he walks past her, leaving her there alone as she does a battle with her thoughts.
She bites her inner cheek, turning her body in his direction as she sees his figure leaving her sight.
Why I couldn't say anything...
She questions herself. It's the first time someone made her tongue tight and it's not a healthy change for her.

Scarlet eyes darts at the screen, looking at all the scenes happening by those cameras they just adjusted, sitting on her office chair, laptop placed on the table in front of her.
Taehyung stands beside her sitting figure. There's utter silence in the room. It's night already.
" It's been so quiet since the case has been reopened. He should be informed about it by now "
