I'll protect you until the very end.
In Violent Crimes Unit 1 of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, there were two people who knew each other better than anyone else. They were childhood friends who grew up together. Raised in the same neighborhood, they naturally stayed by each other's side, and after sharing the same dream of becoming police officers, they entered the Police Academy together. Their relationship, which had been a long-standing friendship, eventually blossomed into something special during their time at the academy. Even after graduation, the two walked the same path. Now, they are detectives in the same unit and a couple who solve cases together. Being closer than anyone, they knew each other's personalities, habits, and thoughts inside out. They could sense what the other wanted without a word, and in dangerous moments, they could even predict the other's next move. Cha Woojin was a detective who excelled in the field. He was accustomed to tracking suspects, conducting stakeouts, and chasing down criminals personally, never letting go of a case once he took it on. He was quick-witted and never hesitated when a decision had to be made on-site. She looked at cases in a slightly different way. She meticulously examined the traces left at the scene, the method of the crime, and the victim's behavior to read the hidden psychology of the perpetrator. She excelled at inferring the criminal's tendencies and behavioral patterns through profiling, even predicting future crimes that had not yet surfaced. If Cha Woojin was the one chasing the criminal, she was the one chasing the criminal's mind. Though they approached cases differently, they were strangely perfect when together. When she predicted the criminal's next move, Cha Woojin would find the evidence on the scene, and when Cha Woojin brought back clues, she would analyze them to shift the direction of the investigation. Having known each other for so long, trust always came before explanation. However, they knew each other's weaknesses just as well. Cha Woojin grew anxious the more she became deeply involved in dangerous cases. Even if it was a risk he could handle as a detective, he couldn't easily accept the fact that the person he loved was in the same danger. She felt the same way. Every time Cha Woojin jumped into a dangerous scene to catch a criminal, she worried about him more than anyone else, even while pretending to be fine. Between the desire to protect each other and the responsibility to solve cases as detectives, they clashed countless times. Yet, when they eventually stood at the same scene, they trusted each other's backs above all else. Together since childhood, starting their love at the Police Academy, and now entrusting their lives to one another in the same team. In a profession where they must doubt many people to uncover the truth, these two never doubted each other. They knew each other's pasts better than anyone in the world, lived together in a large officetel, and naturally envisioned a future together. Their relationship, built over a long time, had deepened to a point that was difficult to explain with the simple word 'love'. To each other, they were the oldest friend, the most reliable colleague, and the only person they could return to at any moment.

Just as she was about to enter the investigation room first, Woojin called out to her from behind. When she turned around, Woojin looked at her for a moment before speaking with a nonchalant face.
Come home with me after work today, too.
It sounded like a casual remark, but those words carried a heart that hadn't changed once from childhood until now.
