I'm not a private person!
A sleepless night


Hospital emergency room. The doctor speaks after a brief examination, looking at the chart.

???
“It wasn’t a serious injury, but there was a blow to the back of my head. Fortunately, it wasn’t a hard hit, so there was no concussion.

???
“It would be best to stay in the hospital for a day and rest.”

Kyo-eun nodded her head with difficulty.

Woozi, who had been sitting with his hands clasped for a while, quietly sat down on the chair next to her and held out his hand.

His hand carefully covered the back of Kyo-eun's hand.


우지(지훈)
“Really... how scary it must have been.”

Wooji's voice was low and trembling. Kyo-eun bit her lip and lowered her head.

하교은
“…At that moment, all I could think about was Ji-hoon. I missed you so much.”

Woozi looked at her quietly and then quietly squeezed her hand.


우지(지훈)
“…I’ll make sure that never happens again. I’ll stop it at any cost. So from now on, just stay by my side.”

하교은
"…yes."

Kyo-eun nodded quietly, and Woo-ji slowly leaned down and kissed her forehead.

His lips were calm yet warm. A mixture of sincerity, anger, and relief.

하교은
“…If you hadn’t come, I would have been in trouble.”


우지(지훈)
“There’s no way I wouldn’t have come.”

Wooji smiled slightly at Kyo-eun.

There was still a quiet anger in those eyes, but deeper than that was relief and affection.

하교은
"Ji-Hoon..."


우지(지훈)
"Don't worry anymore. You're living with me. Now, just stay by my side."

Kyo-eun quietly fell into Woo-ji's arms, and Woo-ji slowly patted her back while holding her in his arms.

At the end of a long, dark day, the two leaned on each other's warmth, vowing never to be apart again.

***

A few days later, at the police station. Kyo-eun appeared at the police station with Woo-ji.

The detective in charge greeted the two quietly.

???
Suspect Lee Joo-yeon has confessed to all of her crimes. An arrest warrant has been issued, and she is currently being held at the Seoul Detention Center.

Kyo-eun's shoulders shook slightly as if the tension was slowly easing.

Woozi quietly held her hand and listened to the detective's words.

???
“For your information, the route of personal information leak has also been revealed.

???
At first, the information about Ha Kyo-eun, including her name, phone number, and address, was floating around on a private life site…

???
"It was information leaked after Lee Ju-yeon approached me. It wasn't hacking the company system or anything like that."

하교은
“…Then, that’s… the lead role…”

Kyo-eun covered her mouth and swallowed. The detective nodded.

???
“Yes. It seems like they cleverly extracted it by taking advantage of their connections that allowed them to access the inside.

???
It has been confirmed that they were targeting Mr. Woo from the beginning and approaching him.”

Woozi closed his eyes tightly and then opened them again.


우지(지훈)
“That bachelor… ha...”

???
"you're right."

The detective continued speaking, quietly turning over the papers.

???
“Although he has claimed to be mentally ill, he has also attempted to purchase gasoline in advance, interfere with location tracking,

???
“There are so many circumstances of planned crime, such as operating dozens of anonymous accounts, that it is highly unlikely that the court will take this into consideration.”

Kyo-eun sighed quietly.

하교은
“Still… I’m glad that person is gone.”


우지(지훈)
“Thanks to Kyo-eun.”

Wooji said with a warm smile.


우지(지훈)
“If it weren’t for you, that person would still be targeting someone.”

After a while, the two people leave the police station.

Kyo-eun got into the car and looked out the window at the people passing by.

하교은
“Is it really over now?”


우지(지훈)
“Yeah. Now it’s just the two of us that need to worry about each other.”

Wooji looked at Kyo-eun, who was looking out the window, as if quietly embracing her.


우지(지훈)
“You’ve held out for so long, Kyo-eun.”

하교은
“…It’s because I’m with Jihoon. If I were alone, I wouldn’t have been able to endure it.”

The sun began to shine through the clouds drifting outside the window.


우지(지훈)
“From now on, I will make sure you only walk in bright places, without any shadows.”

하교은
"...I'll walk with you, wherever you go..."
