"Who knew coffee could be so delicious?" Dahyun had remarked with surprise, her eyes twinkling with amusement as she took another sip of her drink.

Sana had grinned in response, her own coffee cup cradled in her hands as she leaned back in her chair with a contented sigh. "I told you so, Dahyun. You just need me to have a good drink, without me it’s nothing" she had quipped, her tone playful.

Dahyun had laughed at Sana's dramatic proclamation, feeling a sense of relief wash over her as she basked in the warmth of their shared laughter. For in those moments, surrounded by the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the gentle hum of conversation, Dahyun had found a sense of peace and contentment that she hadn't felt in years.
And as she reflected on their lighthearted banter and playful exchanges, Dahyun couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude 

“Thank you, Sana.”  Dahyun sounded so sincere which made Sana look at her with so much attentiveness. Sana's gaze softened as she looked at Dahyun, a flicker of something undefinable passing through her eyes. There was a purity in her gaze that struck a chord within Sana, a sincerity that seemed to cut through the layers of her defenses.

Sana felt a pang of unease stir within her at the intensity of Dahyun's gaze. It was as if she could see right through her, peering into the depths of her soul with unwavering clarity. And yet, there was a warmth in those eyes, a kindness that made Sana's heart ache with longing.

"Don't look at me with such eyes," Sana murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. "Like you're saying goodbye."

Dahyun's brow furrowed in confusion at Sana's words, her expression tinged with concern. "I'm not saying goodbye, Sana,"

"Well, if you're not saying goodbye, then you must be saying hello to my cooking skills next time," she quipped, attempting to inject a lighthearted tone into the moment.

Dahyun laughed at Sana's attempt at humor, the tension between them easing slightly as she joined in the joke. "Let's hope your cooking is good as you say”

Sana grinned, feeling a sense of relief wash over her at the sound of Dahyun's laughter.

Dr. Park regarded Dahyun with a gentle smile, her eyes filled with warmth and understanding. "It's wonderful to hear that you've been sleeping better, Dahyun. It sounds like spending time with Sana has been really beneficial for you," she commented, her voice soft and reassuring. 

Dahyun nodded in agreement, a sense of gratitude swelling within her chest. "Yes, it has," she replied earnestly, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "Sana has a way of making everything feel lighter, you know? Her humor and positivity have been such a bright spot in my life lately."

Dr. Park's smile widened at Dahyun's words, a sense of pride evident in her expression. "I'm glad to hear that, Dahyun" she remarked, her voice filled with encouragement.

Dahyun nodded in agreement, her gaze drifting to the window "You're right, Dr. Park. I feel like I'm starting to see things more clearly now, thanks to your guidance and support," she admitted, her voice tinged with gratitude.

"You're doing great, Dahyun," she reassured her patient, her voice gentle but firm.

As Dahyun prepared to leave the therapist's office, she felt a chimp from her phone. As Dahyun's fingers hovered over her phone, a sense of apprehension crept over her. The message from an unknown number, coupled with the cryptic content, sent a shiver down her spine.

"I once warned you about the BlackRock project. Do not stand on my way. "

Dahyun's mind raced as she tried to make sense of the message. A thousand questions swirled through her mind, but one thing was clear—she couldn't ignore this message.

As she slipped her phone back into her pocket, Dahyun couldn't shake the feeling of foreboding that clung to her like a shadow. As she reached her car and climbed behind the wheel, Dahyun couldn't shake the feeling that she was being watched—that every move she made was being scrutinized by unseen eyes. 

As Dahyun navigated through the city streets, her mind still consumed by the message, she noticed a black sedan behind her, its movements growing increasingly erratic. The car seemed to dart in and out of lanes, its headlights flashing ominously in her rearview mirror.

A sense of unease washed over Dahyun as she watched the sedan's erratic maneuvers, her heart pounding in her chest. Was she being followed? The thought sent a chill down her spine, her instincts screaming at her to get away as quickly as possible.

In her haste to distance herself from the suspicious vehicle, Dahyun's attention wavered for just a moment, her focus divided between the road ahead and the looming threat behind her. And in that split second, disaster struck.

A sudden jolt rocked Dahyun's car as she felt the sickening crunch of metal against metal. Her heart leaped into as she realized what had happened.

Panic surged through Dahyun as she quickly pulled over to the side of the road, her hands trembling as she tried to process what had just occurred. The air was thick with the smell of burnt rubber and the sound of honking horns filled the air as other drivers swerved to avoid the accident scene.

And Dahyun lost control and crushed to the guardrail.

Dahyun's head throbbed with pain as she struggled to remain conscious, the world around her spinning in a dizzying blur. The impact of the collision had left her disoriented and shaken, her vision swimming as she tried to make sense of her surroundings.

Through the haze of pain and confusion, Dahyun could hear the distant sound of sirens approaching, their wailing cries echoing in her ears. She knew help was on the way, but the minutes felt like hours as she fought to keep her eyes open, to stay awake long enough to make sense of what had happened.

But despite her best efforts, Dahyun's strength began to wane, her eyelids growing heavy as darkness threatened to overtake her. With one final, desperate effort, she reached out for the reassuring presence of her phone, clutching it tightly in her trembling hands as she fought to hold on to consciousne
