Jihoon took a step closer, his voice low but filled with concern. "Do you think she's in danger?"
Joon Su's gaze didn't shift from the window, his eyes distant. "She's always in danger," he replied quietly, his tone betraying the worry he kept hidden beneath his stoic facade. "But Jiho… she's strong. She's survived this long, and she'll keep surviving."
"But," he added after a long pause, his voice softening just a little, "that doesn't mean we won't protect her."
Kyung Ho stepped forward, his mute gaze filled with quiet determination. He nodded in agreement, his eyes saying everything his voice could not. They would protect her, no matter the cost.
Joon Su turned back to face them, his expression regaining its usual calm, though the worry in his eyes remained. "We prepare here," he said firmly. "For now, we watch and we wait. But when the time comes, we'll be ready to act."
