"....jimin park"
"don't go.."
"..."
"Don't leave us behind... Please don't leave me again..."
It was Jimin who grabbed the female protagonist's wrist. Jimin didn't look at the female protagonist and just lowered his head.Jimin's hand, which was holding Yeoju's wrist, was trembling.
"You said you wouldn't abandon me and would stay by my side... You said you'd be sad when I wasn't there, but happy when I was there..."
"...."
“I was wrong.. I just wanted to get to know you a little bit.. I took you to the club and the orphanage because we trusted and relied on you.We never intended to use you. The reason we didn't tell you... was because we were afraid you'd leave us. So don't go... please."
Jimin speaks slowly, as if his body is trembling like an aspen tree. The female protagonist's eyes also begin to well up with tears, as if her heart aches at seeing Jimin so sad.Jimin still holds Yeoju's wrist tightly and begs her not to go. Yeoju's eyes gradually open as if her heart is gradually weakening.Even if the children trust the heroine and go with her, a difficult future is depicted for both of them.Yeoju couldn't easily speak after seeing Jimin like that.As the female protagonist takes off Jimin's wrist that he was holding, Jimin lifts his weak head and looks at her.
"I'm sorry... give me time to think about it"
"Sister..."
"...."
As the heroine turns her back on Jimin and begins to walk away, he calls out to her in a mournful voice. And he calls her "sister"...
At the sound of "older sister," Yeo-ju is startled and stops walking, looking at Jimin who is walking with his back turned.
"I'll wait, sis. You have to come back. We won't cause trouble, we won't do anything bad, and we'll wait quietly, so you have to. You have to come back... Got it?"
"...."
After hearing Jimin's last words, Yeoju started walking away, tears streaming down her face. Jimin stared at Yeoju's back, tears streaming down his face.
‘What if the female protagonist abandons me...? What if I get abandoned again..?"Jimin is anxious at the thought of that.

When Jimin arrives home and opens the door, he sees the children waiting together in the living room.
As soon as Jimin entered, everyone got up from their seats and walked towards him. The children realized that he wasn't with Yeoju.
He asks about his older sister with his expression changed to a sad one.
"What about Park Jimin's older sister...?"
"I've been thinking about it."
"Hey!! Are you letting Kim Yeo-ju go?! You should have told her not to go!!!"
"I did it too!!! I even asked you not to go, not to leave us!!! But we can't just think about ourselves!! Kim Yeo-ju needs time to think too."
"And what if he doesn't come back? What will we do then?"
"We have to bring it back again."
"...you crazy bastard."
The children seem to be fidgeting, perhaps worried that the female protagonist will not return. Among them, Taehyung opens his mouth and talks to Jimin. The children do not eat or sleep properly for 24 hours every day during the week.Every night, I prayed, 'Please let the heroine return,' and waited for the heroine all night.

The kids seem more tired than before, perhaps because they haven't been eating or sleeping well, and they've lost a lot of weight. I wonder if they're still all gathered in the living room, waiting for Yeoju.
The doorbell rings with a "ding-dong" sound. The children, feeling a little hopeful, open the door slightly, and there before them stands the heroine they've been waiting for so long.
The heroine smiles and waves at the children.
"hi?"
"..."
"... What is it? You don't seem happy to see me? Should I go back?"
"You... are back?"
"Yeah. I came to protect you."
The children seemed delighted by Yeoju's words, and quickly smiled and hugged her. It was an expression of overwhelming joy and gratitude.
The heroine speaks while hugging the children tightly.
"Because I'm a police officer, you might actually be in danger. You'll be heartbroken and in pain. But now, even if it hurts and is difficult, I'll stay by your side and protect you. Will you trust me and follow me, even though I may be lacking?"
"of course."
