Another Side of Him: Solve work problems for your partner

Luke: Let's see which game task we got this time...

Luke: Hmm... solve a work problem for your partner.

You: Work? Are you sure...?

You hurriedly take the reference book from Luke's hands and flip through it again, only to find the word "work" clearly written in the task description.

You: It's really about work...

You: That's too vague... How are we going to do that? Are you going to take my place at work for a day or go to court for me?

You: Then I would have to take your place... Well... it's a little unrealistic, no matter how we look at it.

Luke: Yeah...

Luke doesn't answer you, holding his chin in thought.

After a few minutes, he raises his head and taps your shoulder as if he's thought of something.

Luke: The tasks in this game can be big or small...

Luke: So if we think about the fact that we're supposed to finish one task a day, we should start small.

Luke: Maybe the idea is to help each other with work-related stuff to the best of each of our abilities.

After hearing what Luke said, you respond.

You: You're right... if we push it until tomorrow, it would be against the rules that had been laid out at the beginning.

You: Looks like I overreacted when I heard the word "work" just now...

Luke: You just really care about your job.

You: Maybe that word is my kryptonite...

You: All right, since we've decided to start small, then I have to think about what I need your help with.

Luke: Yeah, I'll think about it too.

After some consideration, you decide to ask Luke to help you sort out the different materials for your recent cases...

And Luke asks you to pack up a batch of repaired antiques, following the same way he did it before.

When you go down to the first floor, you see the repaired antiques neatly arranged on the workbench.

You: According to Luke, packaging antiques isn't hard, but I have to be careful. It's best if the packaging can be both beautiful and sturdy.

You: I'll show him my "skill" this time.

You: Hmm... what did he say to do first when packing the last time I helped him repair antiques...?

You: Oh, I remember! I have to cut the oil paper to the right size first!

You finally finish packing the items after some time...

You: The more I work, the more I understand that this is really just physical labor...

Before you can finish talking, you feel a warm sensation on your neck as someone wraps their arms around your waist... It's Luke.

You: You've been walking around so quietly lately... I wasn't even aware you came down.

Luke: Haven't I told you that you're too focused when you're working?

Luke: How'd it go? Are you tired? Was helping me with this... hard?

As soon as the topic changes, Luke's attention moves back to you.

You clearly just helped him with a small chore, but in his eyes, he sees it as a huge contribution...

You: It wasn't hard at all. Since I'm the owner's fiancée, I should help out around the shop, right?

You: More importantly, take a look at how I packed it and see if it meets your standards.

Upon hearing this, Luke loosens his arms around you, moving to stand beside you and putting one hand on your waist...

His eyes move slowly, a trace of tenderness flowing from his gaze.

Luke: Let me have a look...

Luke: It looks great. You packed it better than me.

You: You're not just trying to make me feel better, are you?

Luke: Of course not. I've always been honest with you. I'd never lie.

You: All right... then I'll accept your compliment.

You: Speaking of, how about the case materials you sorted out?

Luke: Everything is perfect, naturally.

Luke's Bedroom

You and Luke head back to the bedroom together only to find the materials neatly organized on the table by category...

You step forward to get a closer look and realize that Luke left post-it notes to remind you to pay extra attention in certain places.

You: You... Don't tell me you read all of these materials and left notes for me?

Luke: Yup, I used my skill as a detective to quickly review all of the material.

You: ...

At this moment, you realize how Luke must have felt just now...

Even though he only helped you with a small portion of the prep work, the warmth it brings is unlike anything else.

Without waiting for you to reply, Luke takes your hand and continues.

Luke: To be honest, even though I thought I was ready to take on some of your work... I was still shocked when I actually had to deal with it.

Luke: You have to read so many materials just for the initial prep work, and you can't miss a single detail...

Luke: It's really hard for me to imagine what it's like to formally handle a case. You attorneys really... have it rough.

Faced with Luke's admission, you can't help but smile. You reach out to pat his shoulder.

You: Every industry has its own difficulties. Mine is nothing special.

You: Compared to you, my job is pretty easy.

You: Not only do you own an antique shop, but you're also a detective... and most importantly...

You: You're part of the NSB... and have to take on a lot of dangerous work...

Hearing this, Luke reaches out to touch the tip of your nose, his eyes full of amusement.

Luke: Sounds like we both work harder than anyone else.

Luke: This task was designed to give couples a better understanding of each other's jobs...

Luke: Normally... now should be the time to show our mutual understanding of each other.

You: Now that you mention it, I think that's just it.

The atmosphere is joyful and sweet. The smile on Luke's face touches your heart...

A thought involuntarily pops into your head, mixing with past memories and overwhelming you.

Luke holds such a special place in your life, so what he needs is a strong sense of trust...

So you take his hand and squeeze it lightly.

You: I want to let you know... that every time you go out on a case in the future, I'll always trust and support you...

You: Instead of letting my mind run wild and worrying blindly like before.

You: Since that's a part of you, I'll accept whatever it brings.

You: And I promise I'll become your strongest reassurance...

Luke: You...

Luke is slightly surprised after hearing this, but his eyes soon soften, and he doesn't speak for a long time.

After a while, he takes your hand and gently kisses the back of it.

Luke: Thank you, [Player]...

Through snowy nights and sunny days, windy valleys and peaceful forests...

You are together through thick and thin, sharing sorrow and happiness.
