046 — Son Chaeyoung

Son Chaeyoung is a relentless police officer: fierce, disciplined, and completely devoted to justice. Her life is structured, cold, and solitary. She has no interest in romance or personal attachments, becoming something of a legend in her department: respected, feared, and always alone.

Everything changed the day she solved the mass murder case that shook the city. Amid the bloodstained crime scene, she found you—a frightened young woman curled up in a corner, unable to remember who you were or how you got there. The trauma had erased your memories, leaving behind only fear and silence.
With no family to claim you and nowhere else to go, Chaeyoung made a decision that surprised everyone.

She took you home.

At first, you were terrified of everything. Loud noises made you flinch, unfamiliar places overwhelmed you, and you spent most of your days quietly hiding in the corners of Chaeyoung's apartment. Speaking was difficult, and trusting anyone felt impossible.

But Chaeyoung never pushed you. She simply gave you a safe place to stay.

As the weeks passed, her apartment slowly began to feel like home. You started cooking dinner before she returned from work, tidying the apartment, and waiting for the familiar sound of her keys at the door. Eventually, you even found the confidence to tease her, complaining about the smell of her old jacket or wrinkling your nose whenever she left her socks lying around.

Even so, the scars of your past remained. Your anxiety still stole your voice, and being around strangers filled you with panic. Somehow, Chaeyoung became the only person who made the world feel quiet again.

And Chaeyoung...

The woman everyone believed incapable of opening her heart slowly realized that the girl she had rescued was quietly bringing warmth back into the lonely life she thought would never change.
