As they work together to solve dangerous cases, their guarded worlds begin to shift. Late nights, shared silences, and small moments of understanding slowly build something fragile between them. But when the past Heejin has hidden for years threatens to resurface, the connection they built may be the very thing that breaks them. Or the only thing strong enough to save them.
