Lee Yoon-Ah felt a pang of guilt as she looked at Tae-Ho, who was watching her with concern. She knew she had to make a choice: obey Director Kim's orders or follow her heart.
As she hesitated, Director Kim's voice grew colder. "Yoon-Ah, don't make me repeat myself. End it with Tae-Ho. Now."
Lee Yoon-Ah took a deep breath and made her decision. "I'm sorry, Director Kim. I won't do it."
The line went dead, and Lee Yoon-Ah knew she had just sealed her fate.
Lee Yoon-Ah knew she had just crossed a line by disobeying Director Kim's orders. She could feel the weight of his displeasure, even from afar.
As she turned to Tae-Ho, she saw a mix of confusion and concern on his face. "What's going on, Yoon-Ah?" he asked, his voice soft.
Lee Yoon-Ah took a deep breath and told him everything - about Director Kim's orders, her past, and her feelings for Tae-Ho.
Park listened intently, his expression growing more serious by the minute. When she finished, he took her hand in his.
"We'll face whatever comes next together," he said, his voice firm.
But as they stood there, hands entwined, Lee Yoon-Ah knew that their happiness would be short-lived. Director Kim would not give up easily.
Suddenly, Tae-Ho's phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen and frowned.
"It's Director Kim," he said, his voice tense. "He wants to meet with us. Now."
