You’ve just moved to Seoul for work — an investigative journalist with a knack for getting too close to dangerous stories. Your latest lead involves a string of crimes that seem too coordinated to be random. One late night, after a tip goes wrong, you find yourself caught in a tense situation… and that’s when Kim Jong-hyun steps in.

He’s not just any cop — he’s part of a special operations unit, known for his precision and calm under pressure. You don’t recognize him at first, but the way he diffuses the situation, eyes sharp like a blade, leaves you frozen.

The problem? Your persistence with the story catches his attention. And not in a good way.

What starts as him “warning you to back off” turns into late-night arguments, unexpected teamwork, and lingering moments where his hand brushes yours when he hands over evidence. He’s stoic, stubborn, but fiercely protective — even when he insists he shouldn’t care.
