The Beginning
The Country CallsYunho sighed. Today's presentation seemed longer than usual and he looked at the clock several times as if doing so would make time go faster.
".... reinforcements at the Mokpo branch. That is all."
Yunho stood up right away and left the room for the main office where Yuri worked. He found her going over the profiles of the current case's criminal suspects. She heard approaching footsteps and looked up to see Yunho. Her almond-shaped eyes rounded into full circles, knowing she was trapped.
