Synopsis

The score has just come out and will gradually rise [Cold-Faced Detective × Sweet, Gentle Dancer | Jealous, Devoted Love]

A terrifying late-night rideshare ride. She presses the emergency button, and the man who breaks down the door to save her is her childhood friend, whom she hasn’t seen in ten years, now the city’s coldest police captain.

Radiating menace, he pins the criminal to the ground, then takes off his uniform and wraps it around her trembling shoulders. “You can cry now.”

The “cold-faced King of Hell” of the criminal investigation unit is gentle with her alone.

She practices dancing late at night and drives him to lose control.

In front of the full-length mirror, he grips her waist. “I can’t solve this case... You’re the repeat offender.”

He remembers that she needs hot cocoa during her period and keeps painkillers ready, yet jealousy surges when she gets close to her male dance partner.

“Keep your distance, or I’ll change the choreography.”

In the rainy night, he grips her waist and murmurs with red-rimmed eyes, “Dancing is your life, but you are mine.”

In the interrogation room, the fury radiating from him makes the temperature plummet. He slaps a bloodstained photo against the culprit’s face. “The person lying in that hospital matters more than my own life.”

When his mother uses love as an excuse to pressure him into letting her go, he keeps watch outside her home night after night.

Then one day, she shows up at his door with a ring box. “Officer, I’d like to file a report. My ex-boyfriend played with my feelings and owes me the rest of his life.”

He instantly lays down his defenses, drops to his knees, and holds her with red-rimmed eyes. “You can have my life and my heart. I’ll protect you for the rest of mine.”

Childhood sweethearts have grown up, and now he’s home. This time, neither of them will let go.

Inside the wedding band he puts on her finger himself are the numbers 5570829 and 0829557: his badge number and her birthday.
