Na-ri just got in her office. She sank into her chair, her body heavy with exhaustion, and let out a long, quiet sigh. Her head dropped as if the weight of the past few days had finally settled on her shoulders. Her mind was blank for a moment—no thoughts, no plans, just silence. Her fingers clutched the armrests of her chair as she tried to ground herself. Everything felt distant.
Not long after, Minji entered, gently closing the door behind her. Her face was calm but alert, her steps steady as she approached Na-ri's desk.
"Everything has been taken care of," she said softly. "The police just arrested Tae Joon."
Na-ri slowly lifted her head and looked at her. Her expression remained unreadable for a second before she whispered, "Thank you."
Minji's gaze softened. Without another word, she stepped forward and wrapped her arms around her. The hug wasn't tight or forceful—it was warm and comforting, just what Na-ri didn't know she needed.
