What to take from it

Frustrated, she asks Woo-je for his interpretation of the scene, and because it's a character he can secretly empathize with, he expertly explains that her character is feeling regret. It's an especially harsh attack because she was the one who'd suggested he could one day be her bodyguard after an injury seemingly ended his professional judo career. Woo-je shoves her protectively inside with instructions to lock the door behind her, but because she doesn't listen, he has to waste his strength fighting her to keep the door closed instead of fending off their attacker.
