As night fell, Ji-hoon and Seok-jin made their way to Hana's apartment. They were greeted by her assistant, Kim Soo-min, who led them to the living room. Hana was waiting for them, her expression calm but guarded.
"Detective Park, Chief Yoon," she greeted them. "What brings you here?"
"We need to talk," Ji-hoon said, holding up the folder. "About this."
Hana glanced at the folder and sighed. "I see you've been doing your homework."
"We want to know the truth," Ji-hoon pressed. "What's really going on?"
Hana hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Very well. You deserve to know the truth." She took a deep breath and began to explain, recounting her role as a demon judge and the ancient prophecy that guided her actions.
Seok-jin listened intently, his skepticism giving way to curiosity. "So, you're telling us there's a whole supernatural world we know nothing about?"
"Yes," Hana confirmed. "And there's a darkness rising that threatens both our worlds. I can't fight it alone."
Ji-hoon nodded, a sense of purpose filling him. "We're in this together. Whatever it takes, we'll fight alongside you."
Hana smiled, a rare warmth in her eyes. "Thank you. We'll need all the help we can get."
As they continued to discuss their plan, Hana felt a flicker of hope. For the first time in a long while, she wasn't alone. She had allies who believed in her, and together, they would face the darkness.
The whispers of Elanthia grew stronger, a sign that the forest approved. Hana knew that their journey was just beginning, but with Ji-hoon and Seok-jin by her side, she felt ready to face whatever came their way.
