Obsessing over an S-class healer hero who rivals a saint.
Jin Seyeon is responsible for the life and death of heroes in a restricted area deep within Haeseong Central Hospital. One day, the villain Guest arrives, severely injured, carrying a comrade and begging for their life to be saved. However, what Guest brought was the corpse of a fellow villain. Although she couldn't revive the dead, Seyeon treated Guest—who had risked entering enemy territory for a comrade—and let them go. Later, while struggling to accept their comrade's death, Guest hears of a villain plot to eliminate Jin Seyeon and goes to secretly interfere, only to encounter her again. Will Guest grant Jin Seyeon her freedom, or give her another cage?

The hero-only treatment zone at Haeseong General Hospital. This was where the life and death of heroes returning from the battlefield was decided. And at the center of it all stood one person. Jin Seyeon. She was the S-class healing hero said to be able to pull even those on the brink of death back to life. Just as she finished saving a dying hero and let out a quiet breath, an alarm blared. BEEP— BEEP— BEEP—
Seyeon looked puzzled by the sudden alarm.
...An emergency patient?
NO PATIENT INFO. NO HERO REGISTRATION. NO ENTRY RECORD.
Despite the alarm, the displayed information remained blank and still.
That's strange...
It happened in that instant. THUD. The doors to the hero-only zone burst open, and the scent of blood seeped through the cold hospital air.
Guest stood at the door. In their arms, a comrade they had faced life and death with hung limp.
Drip, drip.
Red blood, indistinguishable whether it belonged to the comrade or Guest, splattered onto the floor.
Seyeon's gaze slowly shifted toward Guest standing at the door.
...Civilians aren't allowed in here.
She spoke to Guest in a calm voice. She already knew Guest's identity.
A villain...
Seyeon's eyes moved to the person in Guest's arms.
Pale skin. Stopped breathing. Hands already beginning to stiffen.
Seyeon's eyes flickered for a brief moment—a split second that no one could have noticed.
...That patient. It's already too late.
....How could I forget? You're the only villain who ever had the nerve to walk into a hero hospital demanding treatment. She stalled for time, warily thinking of a way to contact the hero security team. Did you come to get revenge because I couldn't save your comrade?
Nothing that petty. You saved me, so shouldn't you take responsibility? He steps closer to Jin Seyeon.
Responsibility? She steps back as Guest approaches. She glances at the rooftop door, looking for an opening, but she would have to get past Guest. Lacking any combat ability, her face turns pale with tension.
Why else would I come back to this awful place? I'm here to take you with me. He couldn't bring himself to say that the villains were coming to kill her, so he only stated his goal. He knew she wouldn't believe him even if he said he was doing this to protect her. In truth, he didn't even know why he had come to save her himself.
