I'm not a private person!
The crisis came suddenly
So, Kyo-eun bought a cake and headed home, and opened the door by entering the password.
And at that moment,
Kyo-eun dropped the cake she was holding on the floor.
The living room was a mess.
All the furniture was toppled over, picture frames were broken,
All the drawers were open and the things inside were scattered around in a mess.
It seemed as if someone had deliberately left a mess behind, a clear sign of malicious intrusion rather than thievery.

"......!"
Kyo-eun covered her mouth and collapsed. Her breathing became labored.
My hands were shaking so much I couldn't even hold the phone properly. I barely managed to move my fingers to dial 112.
하교은
"Hello, hello... I think someone came into the house... Please... come quickly..."
Even after giving the police her address and hanging up, Kyo-eun crouched in the middle of the living room, shivering for a long time.
A thought that suddenly crossed my mind at that moment.
하교은
'Could it be... that warning was sent to the company back then...?'
A chill ran down my spine.
It was a timing that could not have been known without watching it 24 hours a day.
Kyo-eun trembled like a poplar tree and picked up the cell phone that had fallen next to the cake box.
I started taking pictures of the house. I had to leave evidence of this situation.
Soon, the sound of a police car's siren began to be heard, and Gyo-eun barely managed to move and open the door.

Meanwhile, from Wooji's perspective.
우지(지훈)
"Ha, I have to catch him quickly..."
After finishing the performance and coming backstage, Woozi opened his phone and checked it.
I saw several missed calls from unfamiliar numbers.
우지(지훈)
"That bachelor again..."
Woozi sighs and flips through the notification window.
He opened his inbox to try to contact Kyo-eun, but a text from a blocked number suddenly stopped Woo-ji's hand.
Attached to the text was a photo. It was a living room I'd never seen before, in complete disarray.
우지(지훈)
"....What is this?"
Wooji frowned. And then, right after that, a message arrived.
???
'Oppa! This is just the beginning ^-^'
우지(지훈)
"...!!!"
For a moment, Wooji's mind went blank. He enlarged the photo and looked at it.
On one side of the living room, a small picture frame shattered after being knocked over. It was a picture of Kyo-eun.
우지(지훈)
Oh my..., no way..."
Woozi swallowed a curse and clutched his phone tightly. The members approached him.
승관
"Brother, what's wrong?"
호시(순영)
"What's wrong? Why?!"
Woozi spoke with difficulty, catching his breath.
우지(지훈)
"wait for a sec..."
And then I called Kyo-eun right away.
The beep sounded, and a little later, Kyo-eun's voice, not urgent but rather deliberately bright, was heard.
우지(지훈)
"Kyo-eun..."
하교은
[Wooji-ssi, how have you been? I also just got home from work and am resting!]
At those words, Wooji was unable to say anything for a while.
Lies. Kyo-eun was definitely trying hard to appear calm.
That fact drove Woozi mad. He gripped the phone in his hand with such force that it felt like it might break.
우지(지훈)
"....under."
After hesitating for a while, Woozi finally opened his mouth.
우지(지훈)
"...Is this your home?"
하교은
[Oh..yes! I'm eating well! I miss you! Hehe.]
Kyo-eun's bright voice continued.
If it were normal, those words would have made me feel good and made me burst out laughing right away.
But not now. Knowing the reality, Wooji couldn't bring himself to laugh.
I barely swallowed the anger rising in my throat.
우지(지훈)
"...I'm going crazy... Ha..."
Woozi's hand trembled as he held the phone, placed his hand on his forehead and held his head.
I wanted to run to Kyo-eun right away, but I couldn't.
A feeling of helplessness and inability to do anything weighed heavily on my heart.
하교은
[..Why, why? What's wrong?]
Kyo-eun asked urgently. Woo-ji answered in a voice desperately suppressing his emotions.
우지(지훈)
"...Oh, I'm going crazy. Because of you."
하교은
[.Hey, what is it hehe...]
Kyo-eun chuckled, thinking Woo-ji's words were just a joke. That sight made the pain even more painful.
Woozi held the phone and took a deep breath. Then, as if making a promise, he spoke.
우지(지훈)
"When I finish my schedule and go back to Korea... I'll see you right away, Kyo-eun."
하교은
"Yes, I like it!!"
Kyo-eun answered brightly and hung up the phone.
Woozi stared blankly at the screen after the call ended, then slowly put the phone down and let out a deep sigh.
우지(지훈)
'I'll protect you... no matter what happens...'
Seungcheol's voice could be heard from afar. He was saying that it was time to go back.
Woozi barely managed to get up and quietly moved along with the other members.
