Chapter 10:
The moment Seo Yuan opened her eyes the next morning, she knew everything had changed.
The air in her apartment was still heavy with his presence. The sheets beneath her fingers felt foreign, like they still carried the weight of him.
And when she turned her head—he was gone.
A sharp pang stabbed through her chest.
She should’ve expected this. She should’ve known that Min Yoon-gi—**a man wrapped in shadows, a man who shouldn’t have touched her in the first place—**would disappear by morning.
But what she didn’t expect was the small note left on her bedside table.
Her hands trembled as she picked it up.
"Don’t run from me."
Just four words.
Simple. Clear. A warning. A promise.
Seo Yuan inhaled sharply. What have I done?

Min Yoon-gi’s Side
He should have never stayed the night.
As he drove through the empty streets, his grip on the steering wheel was tight. Unforgiving.
His body still burned from the way she had let him in.
From the way she had said his name in the dark, over and over again, like she had no idea what she was doing to him.
She had no idea who he really was.
He had always been careful. Cold. Detached.
But last night? He had lost control.
And now, there would be consequences.
Because Min Yoon-gi wasn’t just a man who could fall in love. He was a man with enemies. A man who couldn’t afford weaknesses.
And Seo Yuan?
She had just become his greatest weakness.
