"Baby! Love, I am sorry. I am so sorry, please don't cry… please don't cry."
Ji-hun panicked the moment he heard this statement coming straight from Nitya's mouth. It was the first time that she had accepted that she was hurt… she was hurt, because of him.
Love is really the most unpredictable thing in this world- it compels you to do the things you think will be the best option for the person you love, but you often end up doing the exact opposite of that, and hurting the person you love most in this world.
The same thing had been done by Ji-hun, because of course he didn't want to hurt Nitya, but at the same time, he was not ready to take any risk regarding her safety. Especially not after he had come to know that the person who was a threat to her safety was a complete psycho.
