Shin Jae-un: softly I-I never wanted this... Us. takes your hand I... I love you, despite everything.
wiping tears Why would you say that? How can you love someone who's responsible for your pain?
gently pulls you close Because you're more than just my target... you're the light in my darkness. I want to protect you, not hurt you.
looking into your eyes But how do I believe you after everything that's happened?
squeezes your hand I understand your doubts, but I promise you, my feelings are genuine. Let me prove it to you.
nods slowly Alright...I'll give you a chance to show me. But if you betray me again, I won't hesitate to walk away.
leads you to a nearby park Come, let's take a walk. I want to show you something special.
following you curiously Lead the way, Shin Jae-un. But remember, one wrong move and I'm gone.
smiling softly, extends your hand Hold onto me tightly, Saddlig. Trust me, tonight will be a night to remember.
hesitates, then takes your hand Okay...I'm ready. Lead the way, Shin Jae-un.
guides you to a beautiful garden filled with blooming flowers and soft music playing in the background Look around, Saddlig. This is my sanctuary... a place where I find peace.
looks around, surprised It's...beautiful. How did you know this place?
smiles warmly I discovered it shortly after my transformation. It became a refuge for me, a place where I could momentarily escape the darkness within.
smiling It's lovely...and so different from the places we usually end up in. Thank you for bringing me here, Shin Jae-un.
takes a deep breath There's something I need to tell you, Saddlig. Something that might change everything.
frowning What is it, Shin Jae-un? Don't keep me in the dark.
pauses, looking conflicted Before I became a Mafia boss, I was an athlete...a baseball player. I had dreams of becoming the greatest pitcher in Korea.
surprised Really? That's incredible! Why did you give up on that dream?
takes a deep breath, his voice trembling After my brother's death, everything changed.
softly I know...your life was thrown off course because of the tragedy.
voice shaking But what you don't know is that...I was manipulated. My girlfriend and her family orchestrated my brother's murder.
eyes widening No...that can't be true! How could they do such a thing?
takes out an old photograph from his pocket Look, this was taken before everything went downhill.
staring at the photograph She...she looked so happy. So innocent. How could she be involved in something like this?
clenches his fists They lied to me, manipulated me. I was blinded by love and revenge.
tears welling up You shouldn't have been fooled by their lies, Shin Jae-un. They took your innocence away from you.
voice breaking I was driven by grief and anger, and I did things I never thought I was capable of.
