"Stop looking at me like that." Hanako muttered, her heart racing so fast she was terrified he might hear it pounding against her chest. "Like what?" Keonho murmured back, his voice dropping an octave, refusing to break the intense eye contact. "Like... like you're trying to figure out how to not fall in love!" Hanako said, her sassy defense mechanism kicking in as she picked up the tube of ointment. ___ ➝ 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 Ahn Keonho keeps committing crimes, forcing Officer Jung Hanako to arrest him again and again.

Y/N had always been good at leaving before things got serious. So when her conversations with Juhoon started becoming a little too real, a little too comfortable, and dangerously close to something she wasn't ready for, she did what she knew best. She disappeared. No explanation. No goodbye. Just silence. Months later, a girl decides that maybe what Y/N needs is someone new-someone decent, attractive, and, according to her, "exactly her type." With nothing better to do and absolutely no intention of taking the setup seriously, Y/N agrees to meet him. What her cousin conveniently forgets to mention is his name. Juhoon. The same guy she ghosted. Except the Juhoon sitting across from her now isn't the guy she remembers from their late-night conversations. He's colder, quieter, and seemingly unaffected by seeing her again. And while Y/N is busy figuring out how to survive the most awkward date of her life, Juhoon has only one thing to say. "So you do know how to show up."
