Morning came.
Bright.
Normal.
But beneath it—
Something was building.
Man Ning walked into her office.
Calm.
Focused.
But her eyes—
More alert than usual.
"Good morning," Mr. Kim said.
She nodded.
"Anything important?" she asked.
Mr. Kim paused.
"…Just be careful," he said.
Man Ning looked at him.
"Why?"
A small silence.
"…Just a feeling," he replied.
Man Ning didn't question further.
But she remembered.
Meanwhile—
At LH Group—
Minji stood in front of Shen Yan.
"There's something strange," she said.
Shen Yan looked up.
"Explain."
Minji stepped forward.
"Some files were accessed last night," she said.
Shen Yan's expression changed slightly.
"…By who?"
Minji shook her head.
"Unknown."
Silence.
Shen Yan stood up.
His presence—
Cold.
Sharp.
"Check everything," he said.
Minji nodded.
"Yes, sir."
Outside—
Someone watched the building.
From a distance.
Hidden.
Still.
At the same time—
Another figure moved quietly.
Closer.
Not watching.
Approaching.
Inside—
Man Ning stepped out of her office.
A strange uneasiness returned.
Stronger than before.
She stopped walking.
"…This feeling again…"
Across the building—
Shen Yan paused.
Mid-step.
Same feeling.
Unexplained.
Both unaware—
That danger was closer now.
Not watching anymore.
Moving.
Acting.
Minji checked the system again.
Her brows furrowed.
"…This isn't random…" she whispered.
Something was planned.
Carefully.
Silently.
Back outside—
The first shadow spoke quietly—
"Soon."
And the second—
Closer now—
Whispered—
"Very soon."
Inside—
Man Ning and Shen Yan continued their day.
Unaware.
Unprepared.
But not alone.
Because something—
Was already inside their world.
👉 The most dangerous moments aren't the loud ones.
👉 They're the quiet ones… just before everything happens.
