For this matter, she needs some help outside Scorpio. Jaebum's identity must be kept a secret. Scorpio must never find out that there's survivor of the attack in Goyang few years back or else th
ey would do anything to get rid of him again. And that's the last thing she wanted out of this.

"O-Okay...okay. Please let go of me first."

It smells like rain and good memories and she just wants to breath it in, fill her lungs with everything and never breath out.
" Where are we going after this?"
"You are returning home. I don't think you should travel in this condition."
