Flashback. one year ago
Lee Jinna, a 28-year-old woman who works for a shipping company, manages multiple deliveries and handles all the company's finances.
She has a Manager, who is already considered like her own sister. Hyera took her from the street and educated her. Lee Jinna owes her so much.
On a usual day, Jinna brought two cups of coffee and two Subway sandwiches that they usually eat.
Last night Hyera said that she would sleep in the office because there was a lot of sending and receiving, she would be the one who stayed in the office longer than the others. Sometimes she even sleeps there, luckily the company provides a place for them to rest.
"Good morning! Hyera!" Jinna greets Hyera with a cheerful voice.
But there was no answer. Hyera was still looking down at her desk, she hadn't changed clothes yet, and she was still sitting in the same clothes she wore yesterday.
Jinna approached while shaking Hyera's body. "Sunbae, Sunbae wake up, take a shower first..."
But the body didn't move, Jinna shook the body again, but the body was stiff and there were traces of foam at the mouth.
"Sunbae!!!"

Earlier In The Morning, The Bansong Expedition
"Jinna yes," called someone from behind.
Jinna turned around and turned her chair, someone was behind her. "Oh Ji-sung ah, what's wrong?"
Jisung gave him a document, he was quite confused to see Jisung suddenly give him the document because as far as he remembered, all the reports had been completed since yesterday.
"What is this?"
"You remember you said that if there's anything suspicious again, make the copies as much as possible?"
Jinna frowned, then closed her eyes slowly, she immediately took the paper and put it in her work drawer. "How many?"
"2 million dollars. This time from Vietnam."
Jinna sighed again. "In the past two months they have come 4 times, what are they doing? Where did they arrive from?"
"Busan, at the end of this month, what do you want me to do?"
"Jisung ah, shut up and don't talk, just do your job, don't talk about this anymore."
"But, you know it's dangerous."
"I know it's dangerous, so don't get involved, if you get caught later, say that I told you to."
"But what if something happened to you like Hyera?"
Jinna smiled. "If that happens I can only say it was a pleasure working with you."
"Sunbae."
"Enough. Go to work there again."
"Okay, but please be careful."

Cafestar
Jinna came out of her office building, she was someone the company was always wary of because she held many company secrets.
Bringing a document out of the office wasn't easy, but after what happened to Hyera last year, and now she was the head of finance for an export and import shipping service.
She was too suspicious of what was happening inside this company.
For a year she tried to investigate what was going on and what this company was doing, but what she found was getting more and more sinister.
One thing she can do is report it, but what can she do, how can she report it without anyone knowing?
"AA one," Jinna ordered at a cafe near her office building.
She sat down sipping her coffee. She sat in the middle of the room with his back to a man.
"You know about the KJ Group case a few months ago?" said the man.
They still had their backs to each other, talking without looking at each other. "I know, they managed to catch Kim Sang Ju, right, how did they do it?"
"The Special Team did it, I think you should meet them to provide the documents."
"I just found out, it turns out they were involved in a case that happened 5 years ago when journalist Kang Soo-hee gave it to the public on a live broadcast."
"5 years ago Kang Soo-hee didn't just work alone, he worked together with Prosecutor Lee Min-tae and Journalist Yang Tae-guk, both of whom worked in the Special Team, you understand what I mean, right?"
"The Special Team still has something to do with Kang Soo-hee? But now she's in Los Angeles? How do I give this to her?"
"Go to this restaurant, they are there tonight, if you are on time you can see them."
The man slipped a piece of paper between their seats and then left the cafe. Jinna still sat there for a few minutes until she finally took the paper and came out.
He hailed a taxi and left.

Hansik Restaurant (Special Team Meeting)
Jinna got out of the taxi and entered the restaurant.
"Have you made a reservation?" asked the receptionist.
"Ah, there's no place yet?" Jinna asked.
"Ah, I'm sorry, but if you haven't a reservation, we can't give you a room. Do you want me to book it for tomorrow?"
"Mmm..." Jinna was stunned to see a group of people coming out of a room complete with several people wearing black suits like spy agents.
Prosecutor Lee Min-tae, journalists Yang Tae-guk and Han Jae-young, and also several people he didn't know.
Jinna accidentally made eye contact with Jae-young and immediately lowered her head. Avoiding that eye contact.
"Excuse me, would you like to reserve a place?" the receptionist asked again.
Jae-young, realizing that something was strange, looked back at Jinna from behind.
"What is it? Let's go now, you brought your car, right?" Tae-guk patted Jae-young on the shoulder who was still looking at Jinna.
"Hmm, I'll take it, we'll meet at Soo-hee's house," Jae-young immediately got into his car and left.
Jinna overheard this and was immediately shocked, it turned out to be true, they were still in contact with Kang Soo-hee.
"Sorry, I didn't order, I'll excuse myself," said Jinna.
