After the meeting, Manager Park pulled Soorin aside.
"This isn't about content."
"I figured."
"We need everyone out of the building. We're doing a full sweep. Checking every room. Every system. Every surveillance feed."
"Looking for what?"
"Anything that proves Jiwon's involvement. Or anyone else's."
"And if we find nothing, sir?"
"Then we keep looking."
He handed her an earpiece.
"Wear this. You'll be connected to security. If anything happens at the park, you signal."
"What am I looking for?"
"Anything suspicious. Any slip-ups. Jiwon's coming. So are you. Watch her."
"For a full day."
"I know it's a lot to ask."
"It's fine."
There was that word again.

That night, Soorin lay in bed.
Staring at her phone.
Daehyun had texted.
[Ready for tomorrow?]
[Not even a little bit.]
[Want me to "accidentally" spill coffee on Yura?]
Despite everything, she smiled.
[Tempting. But no.]
[You sure? My aim is excellent.]
[I'm sure.]
[Fine. But the offer stands.]
