Everyone does. Solji wanted to tell him that, but the saying had been too overused throughout the years and she knows all too well that the man is fully aware of it too, finding it unnecessary now. Even she has her own secrets that only a few, if not none, has access to, so she really can’t blame him if he can’t tell her whatever he’s hiding. Besides, she already knows about him being a private detective, which practically gives him all the right to keeping as many secrets as he can. And now that she thinks about it, his words were actually uncalled for. Nodding nonchalantly, she keeps her gaze on him for another second before looking away. ❝ I didn’t mean you should tell me everything. I just– wanted to know a bit more.

Sangwoo looked at her as if in deep thought, following her gaze even as she turned it away from him. Always seeing her as a mature, reasonable woman, who knew how to listen and give advice, the male appreciated every minute of her valuable time that she decided to spend on his person. Although coming from two different worlds and with countless dissimilarities between them, he greatly enjoyed her calming presence, always trying to offer as much as she gave to him--which sometimes, in moments like those, proved itself to be a bit difficult. “I think the problem is,” He started with concealed hesitation after a few moments, a single line appearing in between his brows as he furrowed them, a visual sign of his distress. “I would really like to tell you, you know? Just let it all out for once... I can imagine it might feel good to do so. But I can’t--and not even that I actually cannot, I just know it’s safer not to. For you, for myself, for anyone involved,” The confession came out as mysteriously sounding as anything that ever had to do with his profession, and he despised himself for it a bit. “Sometimes I really wish I was doing something else than--this. But at the same time, I know that even if I could go back in time, I’d hesitate to make the change anyway.”
