*At the Lakeside Park*
The surface of the lake was calm, almost unnaturally so, reflecting the pale blue sky like a flawless mirror.
Ji-hye sat quietly at the edge of the wooden pier, holding a fishing rod that barely moved. The thin line disappeared into the dark water below, but her attention was far from the fish that might bite it.
"Haah… I don't even know why I suddenly wanted to do this…"
She muttered to herself, eyes unfocused as the wind brushed gently against her face.
Fishing had never been her hobby. In fact, she barely had time for hobbies at all. As Korea's only S-Rank Hero, Ji-hye lived a life of constant battles, missions, and responsibility. Every day was filled with danger, paperwork, and expectations.
Yet today, she had found herself here, alone, staring into a lake.
Not because she was tired.
But because she was confused.
Her thoughts drifted, as they had been doing ever since that day.
Indigo.
The villain who had saved her life.
