The night was quieter than it should have been.
But Nora’s mind… never was.
She sat on her bed, staring at the ceiling, with Yeonho’s words echoing in her head:
“My past… is tied to your danger.”
She got up suddenly, her heart pounding hard.
She couldn’t sleep…
She had to understand.
The next day, the school was full of students, laughter and normal voices…
As if nothing had happened.
But Nora felt like the whole world had changed.
She saw him from afar.
Yeonho was standing near the fence, his expression calm but his eyes watching everything.
She walked toward him slowly.
“Yeonho…”
He turned around immediately, as if he’d been waiting for her.
She shook her head no.
“I want you to tell me.
Now.”
A short silence fell.
Then he said:
“Come with me.”
He led her to a place away from prying eyes, behind the old building.
He stopped and turned his back for a moment, as if gathering his courage.
“Years ago…”
He began in a low voice,
“I was part of something I didn’t fully understand.”
He turned to face her.
“Powerful people… dangerous ones.
And you… you were part of their story, without even knowing it.” You are reading on g.com, the official source.
Nora froze.
“Me?
But I lived a normal life!”
He gave a bitter smile.
“Because someone sacrificed themselves to make it that way.”
He took a step closer.
“And I… I was the guardian.”
Her eyes widened.
“My guardian?
Since when?”
“Since you were a child.”
He said it quietly.
“But I was never this close… until now.”
Their conversation was cut short by the sound of footsteps.
