The woman turned, her dark eyes searching his face. There was something familiar about her, something that made his stomach clench.“I used to live here,” she said simply.Ha-Joon had seen many haunted eyes in his career, but hers carried a sorrow so deep it felt like an open wound. She didn’t look away, didn’t try to explain herself, just stood there as the rain soaked her to the bone.“Why come back now?” he asked, stepping closer.She hesitated before answering. “Because I need to find him.”---Chapter Two: Shadows and LiesJi-Eun had spent years searching for her brother, Min-Soo. After their parents died in a tragic fire, she had been sent to foster homes while Min-Soo was taken by a wealthy but secretive family. A family that had since vanished.

Least of all a detective, watching her like she was a suspect. She couldn’t afford attention, not when she had so little to go on.
