A cold autumn morning spread across Seoul. The city was already alive with rushing cars, crowded streets, and people hurrying to work.

Standing among the skyscrapers was one of the most respected law firms in the country.

K&J Law Firm.

Inside, employees moved quickly through the hallways, carrying files and discussing cases. The atmosphere was serious and competitive.

The glass doors opened.

Kim Hye-yoon walked in.

The sound of her heels echoed through the lobby. She wore a perfectly tailored black suit, her expression calm and confident.

The employees immediately straightened up.

"Good morning, Ms. Kim."

"Good morning, Hye-yoon."

She nodded politely but continued walking.

At only twenty-eight years old, Hye-yoon was already one of the firm's most successful lawyers. Her courtroom victories were famous throughout the country. People called her the lawyer who never lost.

She entered a conference room where several attorneys were waiting nervously.

A junior lawyer quickly stood up.

"Ms. Kim, the opposing side has submitted new evidence."

Hye-yoon calmly placed her briefcase on the table.

"Then we'll submit stronger evidence."

The room fell silent.

Another lawyer asked, "Do you really think we can win?"

A small smile appeared on her face.

"We're not here to think about winning."

She opened the file.

"We're here to win."

The team immediately became more confident.

Everyone admired her strength.

But nobody knew that behind her successful life was a lonely woman who spent most nights working instead of living.

🌙 Later That Night

Far away from Seoul, in a small town surrounded by forests and empty roads, rain poured heavily from the sky.

A young woman ran desperately through the darkness.

Her clothes were soaked.

Her breathing was uneven.

Tears mixed with the rain on her face.

"Please... someone help me..." she cried.

Behind her, a man chased her.

Her husband.

His face was filled with anger.

"You think you can leave me?" he shouted.

The woman stumbled and nearly fell.

Fear consumed her.

Then suddenly—

She saw someone standing ahead.

A tall man dressed completely in black.

He stood motionless in the middle of the road.

His face was hidden beneath the darkness.

The woman ran toward him.

"Please!" she begged, grabbing his arm. "Please save me!"

The mysterious man looked down at her.

His voice was deep and calm.

"I can help you."

Hope appeared in her eyes.

"Really?"

"But first," he continued, "you must sign a contract."

The woman didn't understand.

"A contract?"

"Everything has a price."

Behind them, her husband finally arrived.

He pointed angrily at the stranger.

"Who the hell are you?"

The mysterious man slowly turned his head.

For a moment, the air felt colder.

Then he spoke.

"Nobody important."

The husband lunged forward.

Before he could touch him, the stranger moved.

Fast.

Too fast.

In one motion, he grabbed the husband's wrist.

A loud crack echoed through the rain.

The husband screamed.

Then suddenly—

Silence.

The woman froze in shock.

The mysterious man released him and calmly adjusted his sleeve.

As if nothing had happened.

The woman stared at him, terrified and grateful at the same time.

"T-thank you..."

The stranger reached into his coat and pulled out an old document.

A contract.

The paper looked ancient.

Strange symbols covered its surface.

"You agreed to my terms."

The woman's hands trembled.

But she signed.

The moment her name touched the paper, a cold wind swept through the road.

The stranger smiled slightly.

"Good."

He folded the contract.

The woman swallowed nervously.

"What happens now?"

The mysterious man turned and began walking away.

Without looking back, he said:

"After two years..."

His voice echoed through the storm.

"...I'll return to collect what's mine."

The woman stood frozen beneath the rain as he disappeared into the darkness.

And somewhere far away...

A fate had just begun.

🎬 End of Episode 1

🌧️ Scene 1 – Return to the Town

Several weeks had passed since the mysterious contract was signed.

The sky was gray as Kim Hye-yoon drove toward her hometown. She had finally decided to take a short break from work and visit her mother.

As she drove through the familiar streets, memories from her childhood returned.

She smiled faintly.

"It's been a while..."

Suddenly—

A terrified scream echoed through the street.

"Help me!"

Hye-yoon immediately turned her head.

A woman was running desperately through the rain.

Her clothes were soaked and her face was covered in tears.

Behind her was a furious man.

The moment Hye-yoon recognized the woman, her eyes widened.

It was the same woman from the news reports she had heard about recently.

The woman's name was Da-hee.

Before Hye-yoon could react, Da-hee ran behind her.

"Please help me!"

The husband stormed forward.

"Stay out of this!"

Hye-yoon stepped in front of Da-hee.

"You need to calm down."

The man wasn't listening.

He shoved Hye-yoon violently.

She lost her balance and hit the ground hard.

Pain shot through her shoulder and forehead.

Blood slowly appeared near her eyebrow.

Da-hee gasped.

"Hye-yoon!"

People nearby quickly called an ambulance.

🏥 Scene 2 – Hospital

A few hours later.

Hye-yoon slowly opened her eyes.

The bright hospital lights made her blink.

Beside her sat Da-hee.

The woman looked exhausted and guilty.

The moment she saw Hye-yoon awake, tears filled her eyes.

"I'm so sorry."

Hye-yoon sat up carefully.

"What's your name?"

"Da-hee."

Hye-yoon nodded.

Then she asked quietly,

"Has he been hurting you for a long time?"

Da-hee lowered her head.

"Years."

The room became silent.

Finally Hye-yoon spoke.

"I'm taking your case."

Da-hee looked shocked.

"No."

Hye-yoon frowned.

"No?"

"He'll come after you too. He's dangerous."

Hye-yoon gave a small confident smile.

"I'm a lawyer."

Da-hee remained worried.

"You don't know him."

Hye-yoon looked directly into her eyes.

"Then I'll learn everything about him."

She picked up her phone.

"Kang Min."

Her assistant answered immediately.

"Yes, ma'am?"

"Prepare divorce papers and collect every piece of evidence you can find."

"Understood."

"I'm taking a domestic violence case."

🏠 Scene 3 – Building the Case

That evening, Hye-yoon sat in front of a mirror at home.

She carefully applied medicine to her injuries.

Her shoulder was bruised.

Her forehead still hurt.

She stared at her reflection.

Then suddenly an idea came to her.

She opened a folder.

"My injuries can be used as evidence."

She immediately began writing notes.

Every detail mattered.

Every bruise mattered.

And she intended to make sure the court saw everything.

⚖️ Scene 4 – First Court Hearing

Several weeks later.

The courtroom was packed.

Da-hee sat nervously beside Hye-yoon.

Across the room sat her husband.

He looked completely unconcerned.

The judge entered.

"Court is now in session."

Everyone stood before sitting again.

The judge looked toward Hye-yoon.

"Counselor Kim, proceed."

Hye-yoon stood confidently.

"Your Honor, this case involves years of physical and emotional abuse."

The husband's lawyer immediately stood.

"Objection. There is insufficient evidence."

Hye-yoon calmly opened her file.

"Actually, there is substantial evidence."

She presented medical reports.

Photographs.

Witness statements.

Police records.

Then she placed another file on the desk.

"And evidence of assault against myself."

The courtroom became quiet.

The judge adjusted his glasses.

"You were assaulted?"

"Yes, Your Honor."

She pointed toward the husband.

"While attempting to protect my client."

The husband shifted nervously.

For the first time, his confidence disappeared.

After reviewing the evidence, the judge spoke.

"This court requires further examination."

He struck the gavel.

"The hearing will continue next month."

⚖️ Scene 5 – Final Hearing

One month later.

The courtroom was even more crowded.

Reporters had arrived.

The case had become well-known.

The judge entered once again.

"Final arguments."

Hye-yoon stood.

She looked toward Da-hee.

Then toward the judge.

"Your Honor."

Her voice was calm but powerful.

"For years, my client lived in fear."

She paused.

"Marriage should provide safety."

The courtroom remained silent.

"It should never become a prison."

Several people lowered their eyes.

Even the judge listened carefully.

Hye-yoon continued.

"Today, Da-hee is not asking for revenge."

She looked at Da-hee.

"She's asking for freedom."

The husband's lawyer attempted one final defense.

But the evidence was overwhelming.

The judge reviewed everything.

Minutes felt like hours.

Finally—

He raised the gavel.

⚖️ Scene 6 – Judgment

The judge stood.

"After reviewing all evidence, this court rules in favor of the plaintiff."

Da-hee covered her mouth.

Tears filled her eyes.

The judge continued.

"The marriage is legally dissolved."

The courtroom erupted into whispers.

The husband looked stunned.

"And due to repeated acts of domestic violence and assault, the defendant is sentenced to imprisonment according to the law."

BANG!

The gavel struck.

The case was over.

They had won.

🌧️ Scene 7 – Outside the Court

Rain began falling again.

Da-hee stood outside the courthouse crying.

But this time, they were tears of relief.

She bowed deeply to Hye-yoon.

"Thank you."

Hye-yoon smiled.

"You saved yourself."

But as they spoke—

A strange feeling passed through Hye-yoon.

As if someone was watching.

Far across the street...

A tall man dressed in black stood beneath an umbrella.

His face hidden.

His eyes fixed on Da-hee.

Then he quietly whispered:

"Two years are almost over."

And disappeared into the rain.

🎬 End of Episode 2

🌧️ Scene 1 – A Rainy Night in Seoul

The rain poured heavily over Seoul.

The streets were crowded with people rushing home. Umbrellas filled the sidewalks while headlights reflected off the wet roads.

Inside her office building, Kim Hye-yoon finally closed the last file on her desk.

She looked at the clock.

11:47 PM

A tired sigh escaped her lips.

Another long day.

She packed her bag and left the office.

Outside, the rain was even stronger than before.

Hye-yoon frowned.

"Of course I forgot my umbrella."

She stood under the building's entrance, debating whether to run to her car.

Suddenly—

An umbrella appeared above her head.

Hye-yoon looked up in surprise.

A tall man stood beside her.

Dressed in black.

His face partially hidden by the rain and shadows.

For a brief second, their eyes met.

Something about him felt strangely familiar.

Before she could say anything, he gently placed the umbrella in her hand.

"Take it."

His voice was calm and deep.

The stranger turned and walked away.

"Wait!" Hye-yoon called.

But he didn't stop.

Within seconds he disappeared into the crowd.

Hye-yoon stood there holding the umbrella.

Confused.

"Who was that?"

For some reason, she couldn't stop thinking about him during the drive home.

🌙 Scene 2 – Sleepless Thoughts

That night, Hye-yoon sat by her bedroom window.

Rain tapped softly against the glass.

The black umbrella rested beside the door.

Normally she would've forgotten such a small interaction.

But tonight was different.

She remembered his voice.

His eyes.

The strange feeling she had when he looked at her.

Almost as if...

she had met him somewhere before.

"Why am I thinking about a stranger?"

She laughed softly at herself.

Yet even after turning off the lights, sleep didn't come easily.

🌅 Scene 3 – The Next Morning

The following morning, Hye-yoon returned to the law firm.

As usual, employees greeted her respectfully.

"Good morning, Ms. Kim."

"Morning."

She walked confidently through the office.

Professional.

Focused.

Unshaken.

Just as she entered her cabin, her office phone rang.

It was her boss.

"Hye-yoon, come to my office."

"Yes, sir."

She grabbed her notebook and headed upstairs.

🏢 Scene 4 – The New Team Member

The firm's director smiled when she entered.

"Come in."

Another man stood near the large window with his back facing them.

The director gestured toward him.

"Hye-yoon, I'd like you to meet someone."

The man remained silent.

The director continued.

"His name is Su-ho."

Hye-yoon looked at him carefully.

"He recently transferred here. His success rate is almost identical to yours."

She raised an eyebrow.

"Almost?"

The director laughed.

"Competition is healthy."

Finally, the man turned around.

And for a moment—

everything felt still.

Hye-yoon recognized him immediately.

The stranger from the rain.

The umbrella.

The voice.

It was him.

He was unexpectedly handsome, with calm eyes that seemed to hide countless secrets.

Su-ho offered his hand.

"Nice to meet you."

Hye-yoon stared for a second longer than necessary before shaking it.

"You too."

Something strange stirred inside her chest.

A feeling she couldn't explain.

☕ Scene 5 – First Conversation

The director continued speaking.

"Starting today, Su-ho will work with your team."

"Understood."

As they left the office together, Su-ho smiled politely.

"Nice to officially meet you, ma'am."

Hye-yoon immediately shook her head.

"Don't call me ma'am."

Su-ho looked surprised.

"Why?"

"If we're working together, call me Hye-yoon."

A small smile appeared on his face.

"Alright... Hye-yoon."

The moment he said her name, she froze slightly.

That voice again.

Why did it feel familiar?

Almost like a forgotten memory.

🌤️ Scene 6 – The Umbrella

As they walked through the hallway, Hye-yoon finally asked:

"Were you the one who gave me the umbrella yesterday?"

Su-ho glanced at her.

"Yes."

"Why?"

He thought for a moment.

Then shrugged.

"You looked like you needed it."

Hye-yoon laughed softly.

"That's not a real answer."

"It was enough for me."

For the first time in years, someone had managed to leave her speechless.

🌑 Scene 7 – The Secret He Hides

That evening, after everyone left the office, Su-ho stood alone on the rooftop.

The city lights stretched endlessly beneath him.

His expression was completely different now.

Colder.

Darker.

The wind moved around him unnaturally.

His eyes briefly glowed.

He pulled an old contract from his coat.

A familiar name was written on it.

Da-hee.

His gaze became distant.

"Two years..."

He closed the contract.

"The time has come."

Far below, Hye-yoon left the building completely unaware of the truth.

The man she had begun to trust...

The man she couldn't stop thinking about...

Was the same mysterious figure who had appeared on that rainy road years ago.

And the same man who was about to collect a debt no human could repay.
