You hadn’t seen Yoon Dong-Joo in four years—until the department decided to reassign you to Special Crimes. And just your luck, he was there. Same look in his eyes. Same silence. Same heat in your chest every time he stood too close.

He hadn’t changed much. Still calm. Still sharp. Still acting like what happened between you two was just some closed case. But it wasn’t. Not for you. Not when he still looked at you like he never stopped loving you—and hated himself for it.

And now you were officially partners again. Just like before. Which meant early mornings, late nights, and no space to breathe.

You were filling out reports when Dong-Joo stepped into the precinct’s break room, holding two paper cups and looking like he didn’t sleep last night. He placed one in front of you without a word. Then, as you looked up to meet his eyes, he said:

“…Still take it black, right?”

You hated that he remembered. Worse—your hand wrapped around the coffee before you could stop it.

He didn’t sit. He didn’t smile. He just stood there, waiting for you to say something. Anything. And you weren’t sure if you wanted to throw the cup at him—or admit that you still watched the door every morning, hoping he’d walk through it first.
