Hostile Encounter

Tae Ho was called into his boss' office, a place he usually avoided unless necessary. His boss leaned back in his chair with a sarcastically serious expression. "Tae Ho, I have a surprise for you. We're bringing in someone new to the team, a top-tier journalist, will be working with you."

Tae Ho's expression darkened. "I work alone. You know that."

His father's eyes twinkled with mischief. "Exactly why I've asked her to join. You need to learn how to communicate and work with others."

Tae Ho clenched his fists, he exclaimed, "I am not working with some girl."

His father glanced and said, "She joins your team, or you are getting fired, do not think that you will be favored because of me."

Tae ho frustrated, but had to agree unwillingly.

When He met her for the first time, sparks flew at once. He eyed her skeptically, his tone cold. "I don't need a journalist on my team."

She raised an eyebrow, her voice steady and confident. "I'm not here to get in your way. I'm here to contribute. Whether you like it or not, we're in this together. I heard you are a famous cop, shouldn't u have manners to greet first?"

Tae Ho scoffed, "Not interested to know about you miss whatever your name is."

She laughed in disbelief and said, "Its Kim So Hee, and you are not my senior so I would demand the same respect, whatever your name is." Her gaze darkened.

"Its Tae ho for you miss", he stared with his cold eyes.

Their first meeting ended in a tense silence, both determined to prove themselves, but the seeds of an unlikely partnership had been sown.

So Hee went to a café and was frustrated, "What does he think he is huh?, that loner. He should be happy I decided to work with him."

Her friend, Sa rang laughed and asked, "Did you go on a blind date or something?"

So hee stares at her and said, "That loner can only dream to have a date like me. This is the loner I need to work with." (She showed a photo of him.)

Sa rang spit her drink out upon seeing such a handsome man," yooo, he is detective taeho, you got a chance to work with him. Oh my gosh, where do I even begin? He's like, this total enigma with a brooding aura that just screams cool and mysterious detective vibes. Everyone knows about his amazing case-solving skills – his instincts are sharper than a stiletto heel, and he can sniff out a clue faster than you can say "cold case." But here's the thing: he doesn't really care about playing nice with others. And can we talk about his looks? He's got this perfectly sculpted jawline that could cut diamonds, and those steely eyes that seem to see right through you. He might be a bit standoffish, but that just makes him even more intriguing, don't you think?

So hee was disgusted and side eyed," girl you should definitely get your eyes checked. 'cool, mysterious' bro you have lost your taste in men". They both paid the bill and left.

"Okay, Okay that's enough."

So hee was disgusted and side eyed, "Girl you can definitely get your eyes checked". They both paid the bill and left.

Others, however; have forgotten how to work upon her arrival. The boys, even the girls can't stop obsessing over her beauty and intelligence. Tae ho was annoyed.

He went to the kitchen to get some coffee and he heard his colleagues saying," Did you see the girl who just joined Tae ho's team. Apparently, this insanely hot human is Kim So Hee! Like, seriously? A World-class, award-winning journalist, who is known for cracking huge stories – the woman's a genius with a reporter's notebook. And don't even get me started on how she looks! She's got this fire in her eyes, and this determined mind set and a compelling aura, that just screams "doesn't take crap from anyone." Okay, okay, maybe I'm exaggerating, but come on, a total smoke show like that when joining the force? The city's crime rate might just plummet, but trust me, it's not because of her interrogation skills (though I bet they're killer too). Let's just say, with Kim So Hee around, the police station just got a whole lot more interesting," he winked.

Hearing this, Tae ho gets more paranoid...…..
