In cafe
Junhee - And after that when I reached hospital dad was already dead.
Nikki - .....
Junhee - I won't curse you or blame you because it's not your fault but can I atleast ask, why?
Nikki - (Looks in her eyes, tears flowing)
Junhee - Do you perhaps feel ashamed?
Nikki - Your dad was definitely a great person. He never really asked anything from me until that day.
Junhee - Than why you didn't came?
Nikki - Because I was scared.
Junhee - scared?
Nikki - Your dad approached me first with a calm demeanour. That time I was crying in the park, I was sitting on the edge of slide. I was crying my heart out while hugging my knees. In that heavy rain nothing really mattered to me when your dad appeared holding an umbrella. I looked up at him and his face was expressionless. His face said nothing at all he kept looking at me and then suddenly he said.
Flashback
Minwoo - Are you sleeping here today?
Nikki - Ajusshi, please leave me alone.
Minwoo - Need help. (Forwarding umbrella) Do you finally feel cold?
Nikki - It's better that my body go numb
Minwoo - Ah! Heavy words coming from just an eight years old boy makes me wonder what so worst happen to you?
Nikki - I better keep it to myself.
Minwoo - Cool then I guess I should go but before that I have a suggestion. I cannot help you with your problem but can help you cop up with it. What do you say?
Nikki - What can you possibly do?
Minwoo - Tomorrow morning 5:00 am. Let's meet here.
Nikki - WHAT? WHY?
Minwoo - See you kid?
Nikki - WHAT, AJUSSHI
Present
Nikki - He was always calm, cool and never....loosed that demeanour of his but that day I thought something possessed him, he was desperate, touchy, eager, yearning. It all made me restless. As if I am seeing a completely different person.
Junhee - Not a completely different person but just a side of him he never showed you. It was unexpected and unpredictable for you but not something weird right?
Nikki - Right.
Junhee - Than why you were so flabbergasted?
Nikki - He was the only one who maturely understood me, seeing him in that state made me think I have no one left who will understand me anymore.
Junhee - You unaccepted him because he was no more an idolizing figure for you. Isn't it selfish to decline people when they are not the one you appeal.
Nikki - I regret it so much that it kills me everyday.
Junhee - Than you passed.
Nikki - Huh
Junhee - someone I idolized showed me his vulnerable side too and it makes me feel grateful. You didn't did the same thing so you regret it. Good that you know your mistake.
Nikki - Someone she idolized? (Wisper)
Junhee - In that case , it's your redemption time.
Nikki - Redemption?
Junhee - Do you know what dad was before he became a teacher?
Nikki - No
Junhee - He was a NIS agent. He was on a mission that time and was told to complete it any how. He could not do it that's why he asked you to do it on his behalf.
Nikki - What kind of mission?
Junhee - You are on point finally. So the mission was related to the school you are studying in right now.
Nikki - What?
Junhee - Yes, you know why they let enroll 10 students every year in the school on scholarship.
Nikki - Because they deserve it.
Junhee - No because they are in an urgent need. The school might seem like the most pleasant place but it's much more horrible when you dug deeper into it. Every year they choose 10 students who have financial problems and ask them to study in their school. You were proposed something like this too right?
Nikki - Yes when I was going to start my highschool.
Junhee - From those all 10 choosen students one is selected and is given an opportunity to work with CR company.
Nikki - WHAT that company is a pronounced one.
Junhee - Right, the offer is too sparkling that it's hard to resist and that's when you fall into their trap.
Nikki - What trap?
Junhee - Gang activities under a corporate mask. Much and much dirtier works are given to you and you can never go against them because you owe them.
Nikki - What nonsense.
Junhee - Yeah it does sounds like one but it's not actually is.
Nikki - I guess you need to come out of that adventurous world of yours and see the reality. They are so kind that they are helping in education with financial problem home students and you saying they are corrupt whatever it is I am not into any movie right now so I better leave and thanks for the coffee also I do feel guilty right now about not being able to meet uncle one last time or not being able to save him but it doesn't mean I'll buy the crap you just spit.
Nikki picked up his bag and when he was about to get up Junhee gave her last statement of their convo.
Junhee - Remember Nikki a devil doesn't approach you with horns and a red cape A devil always approaches you with everything you ever wished for. I guess bye for now.
Somewhere
Nikki was walking in his path while thinking about something deeply.
Nikki's pov - In past
??? - Nikki you have performed in this designing competition well. Want to take this as career?
Nikki - Well I guess I have my interest in it.
??? - Oh so for continuing this further would you like to enroll in 'Future heights highschool' ? It will give you a lot of exposure and suggestions in this field also the highschool diploma will be a lot beneficial for you in order to get into good college.
Nikki - I see than I'll give it a thought Mrs Yun
??? - Sure think about it carefully.
Nikki was quite excited for his further studies after the conversation between his homeroom teacher and him.
In Future heights highschool
School's students admission manager - Well you got a talent in animation huh and your middle school scores are not that bad. If you want to enroll here try for scholarship also I would like to meet your parents once.
Mrs Yun - Sure that won't be a problem.
School's students admission manager - Scholarship thing will be pretty hard but I guess you'll be able to manage it cause afterall you managed to give exams and prepare for competition at the same time so I guess things won't be that hectic for you.
Mrs Yun - Is it ok for you.
Nikki - Yes I just have to push my limit a bit. I'll do it.
School's students admission manager - Great so meet you after 2 weeks.
Nikki - Sure
