She knew why Kwang-woo wanted to watch horror movies.

He just wanted to experience the dependence that girls have on boys when they are scared.

And the feeling of a girl being coquettish.

She doesn't know how to act cute.

Or rather, it's something I'm very unaccustomed to.

But she had said before that she was willing to try for him.

Even movies like "The Glory and the Troubles of Einstein," which most people would consider extremely dull and boring, Guangyou would watch with her.

You can even discuss the plot of a movie with her.

They've been so accommodating to her, so it's normal for her to go along with Guangyou's wishes.

Moreover, the experience of watching the movie with Guangyou was quite good.

No matter what movie you watch.

The atmosphere did not veer towards sentimentality.

After promising Kōyū that they would watch a horror movie together next time, Ai opened the folder for comedies.

Akemi doesn't usually leave her apartment.

One form of entertainment is watching movies.

Her laptop naturally contained many different kinds of movies.

Akemi even marked the movies she had watched.

In Guangyou's eyes, these are all old movies.

Although there are many classic works, he has not read them.

They randomly picked a movie that looked alright, and the two of them leaned against the headboard to watch it.

...

The atmosphere on set was very harmonious, and Shi You would occasionally burst into laughter.

The atmosphere in the living room was somewhat silent.

The two should have had a very close relationship.

But what happened two years ago ultimately tainted this relationship with something else.

Although she was being used, Akemi did not blame Shuichi Akai.

If using her could help eliminate that organization, she would be willing.

As for the fact that the organization wanted to silence her because of Shuichi Akai, she had long been mentally prepared for it.

Ever since she learned that Shuichi Akai was an undercover agent, she knew this day would come sooner or later.

Shiho is an important member of the organization, responsible for drug development, so the organization would not harm her.

They would only target her, an unofficial member who had no code name and was of little use to the organization.

She had worried that Shiho wouldn't find a boyfriend because she knew that day was coming.

Every meeting with Shiho could be the last.

She hopes to see someone by Shiho's side before that day comes.

Take good care of Shiho for her.

Unexpectedly, she ran into Guangyou.

Thanks to Guangyou, she was able to see him again while she was still alive.

She could indeed understand his behavior.

But how could I possibly feel comfortable?

"Are his feelings for me real?"

This question lingered in Mingmei's mind for a long time.

Thinking back to their time together and that scene in the park, she felt it was real.

But when she thought about how she had been used, she became uncertain.

Before going on her mission, she sent him a text message that she hadn't contacted in two years.

Unfortunately, she hasn't received a reply yet.

She can understand that.

He probably thought she was really dead, so he didn't reply.

However, now that they've met, she needs to resolve this issue.

If his feelings for her are genuine, then that would be the best outcome.

But if it's fake, she will sincerely wish him well.

"I'm sorry about what happened two years ago."

"I'm sorry, I took advantage of you back then."

Shuichi Akai was the first to break the silence.

He didn't know what to say for a moment.

But after thinking about it, I decided to apologize first.

This apology calmed Mingmei down a little.

If you don't care about her, there's no need to apologize to her at all.

Whether or not those feelings were real, this at least proves that he still has feelings for her.

She gently shook her head, a gentle smile on her face.

She said to Shuichi Akai:

"It's okay, I understand."

"Given the circumstances at the time, what you used was indeed a good method."

"I don't blame you."

For Shuichi Akai, the more understanding Akemi was, the more guilty he felt.

After apologizing, he told Akemi his story.

A hint of apology crept into his calm tone:

"My father's fate was unknown seventeen years ago because of a case."

"That organization is the cause of all this."

"So when I grew up, I joined the FBI and later infiltrated that organization."

"It's all for the purpose of finding the truth and destroying that organization."

"The reason I chose you is because you are the most likely person to get me into that organization."

There was actually one more thing he didn't say.

Actually, he didn't have a good impression of the people in that organization at first.

But after spending time with Mingmei, he realized that Mingmei was different from the other members.

She is a very kind girl.

As they spent more time together, he realized that Mingmei was the kind of girl he liked.

He gradually developed feelings for Mingmei.

However, his identity is sensitive and cannot be revealed to anyone.

It wasn't until the day before the mission that he finally revealed his identity to Akemi without affecting the plan.

To his surprise, Mingmei already knew his identity.

I even said that to him...

Even now, he still vividly remembers that scene.

After hearing Shuichi Akai's story, Akemi suddenly thought of her parents.

She couldn't help but say:

"I never imagined your father was also involved with the organization..."
