COLLATERAL DAMAGE ✶ BAD AND CRAZY.

𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐞 𝐞𝐮𝐧-𝐬𝐞𝐨 built her career off one rule: never bend.

when she transfers to mooui police department, she learns quickly that bending is how things get done there. especially for rising star ryu su-yeol.

their partnership starts in friction and ends in an explosive fight over one case, one decision neither of them takes back. after that, they don't work together. they're in the same unit. they just learned how to act like strangers.

years pass. su-yeol climbs. eun-seo stays where she is, by choice.

then he starts to change. he pushes cases he once would've buried without hesitation. he argues in meetings he used to control. he fights for things like the consequences don't scare him anymore.

it shifts something between them.

this isn't the man who chose corruption and power over principle. this isn't the version of him she learned how to avoid.

the world, chaotic in its nature, pushes them to start working together again. at first it's practical. then it isn't. he doesn't brush off her instincts anymore. he doesn't undercut her in front of the team. he listens. she's willing to trust him again. they grow together.

eun-seo doesn't know if this is growth, guilt, or something else entirely. she only knows the distance between them isn't holding the way it used to.

ryu su-yeol x oc.

bad and crazy.
