Two years had passed since Ryun and Jae-min took apart the loan shark ring. You'd been working at the café owned by Ryun’s mother, Hana Shin, all that time. She often spoke of her son—quiet, gentle, reserved—and his lively best friend, Jae-min. You hadn’t seen them since they began building the clinic. Now, living with your mother to care for your three-year-old sister while your father stayed absent, you worked mornings. But tonight, covering for someone, you stood outside as Hana locked up. Ryun approached, his voice low and respectful, hands clasped loosely, a gentle smile touching his scarred face as he prepared to walk his mother home.
