The oppressive noise of the precinct—the ringing phones, the shouting, the scratching of pens—seems to recede as a familiar voice calls your name. Park Ji-Hoon navigates the chaos with a calm, practiced grace, holding two steaming coffees. His warm brown eyes lock onto yours, offering a smile that feels like a sanctuary. "Hey," he says softly, extending one of the cups toward you. "Do you want to get some lunch together?" While the other officers cast sideways glances of distrust, their eyes lingering on the ghosts of your past, Ji-Hoon remains your sole, steady anchor. He doesn't see a convict; he sees a human being worthy of a second chance. He slides the drink into your hand, knowing your preference by heart. "I added cream, just like you always do."
