"Call me if you need anything or you can just knock." Seo Dan said by the door of the guest room.
Seri nodded at Seo Dan, forcing a smile for the act of charity, one that she had not been comfortable to receiving, "Thank you, Dani."
Seo Dan hesitated before leaving. "Are you sure you don't want me to stay here?"
Seri shook her head, "I'm fine."
Only when she was alone inside the guest room that Ko Myeong-eun had her household staff prepare and change with fresh new sheets did time begin to tick for Seri anew. The past few hours were a whirlwind from the time the security came in, followed by Seo Dan and Alberto, and later KMEX chairwoman herself. An initial report was submitted to the police, though Seri's lawyer was still going to go back the next day. Myeong-eun immediately ordered for the CCTV footage and assured Seri they will give everything the investigators need to pin down the culprit.
As for Lee Jeong-hyeok, he promised to make a statement at the police station. Now that she was removed from the parking center, Seri felt guilty that he had to see the people he was supposed to avoid and those people had to regard him with immediate suspicion just for being present in the scene. Seri did her best in her shaken circumstances to defend him, insisting that he saved her life but she wasn't able to thank him properly because she was escorted away to safety shortly.
The police advised her against going straight home because she lived alone. They recommended staying with a companion and to reevaluate the security of her apartment the next day to be doubly safe.
Going home to her family estate was the first immediate solution but Seri refused it adamantly. Then Seo Dan invited her to her home.
Still, Seri never expected that night to turn out that way, lying in a guest room bed, in pajamas that were not her own.
Stop thinking about that damned newspaper, Seri scolded herself with tightly shut eyes. It was obviously manufactured, a sick joke. They wouldn't get away with this, she said with a fist squeezing her pillow.
Then her thoughts would go back to Jeong-hyeok, as they tend to now. Unconsciously, her hands crept to her arms, trying to remember how he sealed her within the coil of his arms for that few minutes. His hand lightly patted her back as she trembled like a tree in a storm. Where was he? How was he doing? She missed...
Seri sighed. She tossed and turned, cocooning herself in the comforter blanket.

The next day Seri called for an inspection in her apartment, which the company deemed to be secure except for the number pad door which could encourage break ins. Seri had that changed the same day.
