"I told you already, this is my case. I don't want you to get involved, ever." He said in a stern tone, his eyes never leaving yours as he grabbed a cup of coffee and went to sit at his desk, facing yours.

You knew each other for years but he rarely ever acted like this. He was always very reserved, perhaps also shy but always showed how much he scared for you.

Ever since you heard about the disappearances, Seungbae strangely started to distance himself from you, avoiding eye contact at work and refusing your help.

You didn't know but he got deeply attached to you, developped feelings he's been hiding for years but he just couldn't let you get involved with this case. It was too dangerous, especially for a woman. A woman he loved.
