Lee Hyun-woo was seen in a nurse's room, his face still looked frustrated and he seemed to be waiting for someone.
'4 hours ago.'
Seo-woo came to Lee Hyun-woo and stood in front of him while holding out his hand to help him up.
Lee Hyun-woo looked for a moment before finally accepting and Seo-woo helped him up.
"Ugh, you're so heavy...how much weight do you gain when we don't see each other seriously." said Seo-woo who helped him up and walk towards his car.
Lee Ji-woo is seen standing in front of Lee Hyun-woo and is silent before finally hugging him, whose face is seen crying.
Lee Hyun-woo's face just looked frustrated and silent before finally hugging her back.
Lee Hyun-woo is seen in the back seat of Seo-woo's car.
"I know a lot has happened this past week, or even this whole time...so if you have any questions, just ask." said Seo-woo who was driving his car.
"Who was the red-haired person who attacked us on the bridge?"Lee Hyun-woo said while looking down thoughtfully.
Everyone was silent for a moment and Lee Ji-woo looked at Seo-woo who looked confused about where to start.
"The redhead you met is named Kwon Min-jae he is one of the richest and most powerful person almost anywhere...If you want revenge, you must have great allies by taking their trust and make yourself even stronger." said Seo-woo who looked serious about it while driving.
'Back to the present time when suddenly someone opened the treatment room door.'
"How are you... are you feeling better?"said Seo-woo who had just opened the door and entered the room.
"Yeah, I feel better than before."Lee Hyun-woo said with a straight face.
"That's good then..because I will invite you to the meeting place held by the agency."Seo-woo said as he gave Lee Hyun-woo a cold drink.
Lee Hyun-woo's face looked serious when he heard that.
*A meeting... maybe this is my chance to find allies who can help me later.* Lee Hyun-woo thought as he clenched his fists as if he was testing how strong he was now.
Seo-woo just looked at him for a moment before finally saying "I hope you will find better allies, but it won't be easy either so be prepared."Seo-woo said which made Lee Hyun-woo's expression become serious.
'Lee Hyun-woo walks with Seo-woo towards the meeting room.'
"Be careful with your words because they will judge every word you say, even your actions and.. don't say anything that doesnt really needed."Seo-woo said to Lee Hyun-woo who arrived at the door of the meeting room.
Lee Hyun-woo just stood in front of the meeting room door, then looked at Seo-woo who just nodded his head which made Lee Hyun-woo sure and entered by opening both doors, it looks like the room is very dark and it is difficult to see the faces of the council agents.
"Better than never."Lee Hyun-woo said quietly as he entered the meeting room where every member's face looked very serious.
"Welcome, and let's get right to it."said the boss who was sitting at the end.
"Your choice..what will you do now?"said the boss.
Lee Hyun-woo paused for a moment looking around the room and the members of the agent council who looked seriously at him.
"I will do whatever it takes..to change everything to what it should be."Lee Hyun-woo said as he clenched his fists in front of them tightly.
"I can see that..but we won't help you until you prove yourself, that you deserve our help." said the boss who looked serious.
"It seems there's nothing more to talk about. Go to your friend's for mission, i won't be helping you at all for now. We still have another city to take care of since you make a lot of mess there." said the boss.
Lee Hyun-woo was seen leaving the meeting room until suddenly the boss asked something, "Do you consider yourself a human, after what you capable of doing that no human can?" which made Lee Hyun-woo silent for a moment.
Lee Hyun-woo was silent for a moment as he thought about everything he had been through, then he continued walking and waved his hand.
"I do since I still have feelings and feel shaken like a normal human being, no matters how strong or capable am i." said Lee Hyun-woo who left the room.
"How is the result?"asked Seo-woo who was waiting near the outer door of the meeting.
"I'm sure it will go well and according to expectations, so we don't need to think too much about it.
Lee Hyun-woo walked towards the exit, leaving with Seo-woo, while the atmosphere in the meeting room was quiet until one of them started to speak.
"Can he really do it? It seems he'll stray from his goal, like he's fallen into failure." said agent council no.3 underestimate Lee Hyun-woo.
"Can't you just shut up for a day and see how it turns out?" said the council agent no.5 a woman wearing her cloak.
"If there is nothing more to discuss, I will be leaving now as there is still much to be done." said agent council no.6 who started to leave with the others council.
The boss look stressed for how the others council act.
'sigh' the boss sigh look frustrated.
"Should I do something to them?" said the boss's secretary who was standing next to him.
The Boss just raised his hand stopping the secretary.
'Cough'
"Ahem, since they just show up out of no where after a long time, it seems their target is that kid and for now."
"I want all of you to prepare for what going to happened which im sure you all know." said the Boss as the whole room goes quiet.
"You all are dismissed." said the boss, as they all left he just looked up while thinking about a woman's voice that sounded familiar, it turned out to be Park Ji-nam.
"You shouldn't make your situation worse by working too hard dad." said Park Ji-nam in the boss's imagination whose face changed from frustrated to a sad smile.
"What will you do now? Will you continue trying to gain their trust or not?"Seo-woo asked as they walked out of the agency building.
Lee Hyun-woo who was walking out stopped for a moment and looked up at the stars in the sky, he took his hand out of his pocket towards one of the stars.
"Doing what I can do, and one of them is... getting stronger that no one could defeat me." said Lee Hyun-woo who was still looking up at the stars with his eyes reflecting the sparkling stars.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Kwon Min-jae is seen standing in front of a large glass water container containing Park Min-ji's body inside with many cables around her body.
Kwon Min-jae and Lee Hyun-woo's eyes look similar, but they are still different as are their own attitudes.
'The best will get the best through their struggle, the evil will always find a way out but not at the end of their life.'
'Our world may be dark, even darker than outer space up there and the universe.'
'4 months later'
"But without this world I wouldn't have been able to meet you...my star..this really reminds me back then~"said Lee Hyun-woo who was seen at the graveyard visiting Park Min-ji grave and the others graves.
"Welp, uh..it's time to go back exercise again...haha." said Lee Hyun-woo who laughed as he ran to continue his exercise.
*Honestly I might feel angry, sad, and empty when I see this city. A city that is no different from the one we fled from, seeing the actions of those who turned us into stories.* thought Lee Hyun-woo who remembered the time when he was in the middle of the city looking at the billboard about the novel he wrote, and the series about him.
*But I also know that only I can do it or many people will lose just because I don't use my power well.*thought Lee Hyun-woo who was still running close to the edge of the road near the sea.
The chaos at the other city has started to subside somehow, while right here im thinking about it because that's where i grow up.
Things might looking fine by now, but still this city..the people inside it, they all feels like a bullshit because i know they must be hiding something that everyone suppose to know but just why.
Lee Hyun-woo looks a little taller reaching from 169-175cm and he cut his hair short with a center-parted hairstyle that looks better to the eye.
Lee Hyun-woo ran from the cemetery towards the city, he passed through the city and kept running until he finally reached the end of the city where there were housing estates and he stopped at one of the big houses.
*Well i guess i don't really have to think about it right now...right?*
Lee Hyun-woo was seen sweating profusely and he opened the door of the house.
"Is anyone home?"Lee Hyun-woo said as he entered the big house and took off his shoes.
"Do you know what time it is, and why aren't you picking up my calls?" asked Lee Ji-woo who was working on a document in the living room.
"I'm busy exercising, and where is Seo-woo now?" said Lee Hyun-woo who was walking towards the bathroom.
"He is busy working now so you better meet him and help him after this." said Lee Ji-woo who put down her glasses and looked tired.
Lee Hyun-woo walked into the bathroom and slowly took off his clothes, his face looking stressed. Lee Hyun-woo still remembers everything that happened, he is still in a daze even when taking a shower.
*No..I can definitely do it.*thought Lee Hyun-woo who convinced himself for the umpteenth time.
Lee Hyun-woo was seen finishing his shower and going straight to his room where there was a photo of him with Park Min-ji and Park Ji-nam. Lee Hyun-woo took his old jacket that he always wore, he looked at his photo before finally coming out carrying a motorbike key.
"I'll be going then." said Lee Hyun-woo who started to leave the room and the house towards the city.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, Seo-woo is seen in his work room looking at the documents and targets he is working on. He looked very focused on his work until Lee Hyun-woo finally came.
"Need help?"asked Lee Hyun-woo who had just arrived.
"Take a look at this case, this is a case that happened during Park Ji-nam's time as an agent council." Seo-woo said while showing a photo of the orphanage building fire case.
Lee Hyun-woo took and looked at the photo.
"I looked for some evidence until I found a video evidence, where the perpetrator was one of the people who worked there." Seo-woo said while showing the video evidence.
"If so, why hasn't the perpetrator been caught yet?" asked Lee Hyun-woo who saw the video.
"The perpetrator died and was killed by Park Ji-nam, who knew about the incident." Seo-woo said, which surprised Lee Hyun-woo.
"I got this information from my father's safe which I was finally able to open, but it didn't stop there... it turns out the perpetrator had many connections, even with Kwon Min-jae." These words made Lee Hyun-woo become serious to listen.
"There is a task for you to do, I want you to investigate the perpetrator, starting from the orphanage that has been rebuilt." Seo-woo said and it was seen that Lee Hyun-woo was already in front of the orphanage.
*Is this really the place?*thought Lee Hyun-woo as he looked around.
*Well...I've never been to an orphanage either, I don't even know..but it seems I'm right because, there are a lot of little kids in the garden inside the orphanage.* thought Lee Hyun-woo who saw the children playing, before finally going inside.
"Uhm..excuse me.."Lee Hyun-woo said softly as he opened the entrance.
Lee Hyun-woo still entered the orphanage, he saw several play and study rooms.
"Are all the children just those who are playing?"said Lee Hyun-woo who didn't see the other children.
"Not really, some of them are resting near the park."said a beautiful woman who suddenly appeared.
"Hmm?" Lee Hyun-woo wonders who she is.
"Oh yeah, sorry I forgot.. I'm one of the workers here, my name is Siyeo-Ma, nice to meet you." said Siyeo-Ma while shaking hands with Lee Hyun-woo.
"Is there something that made you come here?"Siyeo-Ma asked.
"I heard this place burned down a while ago and it seems like it's been repaired." Lee Hyun-woo said as he looked around.
"Oh, yeah. A woman named Park Ji-nam fixed it, although unfortunately she couldn't see how the children reacted." said Siyeo-Ma putting on a sad smiling face.
"Yeah...that's right, it's a shame." said Lee Hyun-woo who looked sad.
"That is not true." Suddenly a little girl came and said that in front of Lee Hyun-woo.
Lee Hyun-woo looked down at the little girl for a moment, his eyes widening as he heard what the girl said.
"I'm sure Park Ji-nam's sister is watching and looking after us." The girl's words made Lee Hyun-woo silent for a moment.
"Ah, I apologize for her behavior."said Siyeo-Ma apologetically.
Lee Hyun-woo looked silent for a moment before he finally exhaled and smiled.
"Yes, it seems she will definitely take care of us even now she must be watching us." Lee Hyun-woo said which made them both silent.
"Ah, I almost forgot..my name is Lee Hyun-woo I am an agent and Park Ji-nam's younger brother, nice to meet you."Lee Hyun-woo said, which shocked them both.
Siyeo-Ma looked shocked and apologized for not recognizing him, while the girl just stared at Lee Hyun-woo's face for a long time until suddenly Park Ji-nam's face was reflected next to Lee Hyun-woo face.
"Older brother?"suddenly the girl said.
Everyone seemed silent for a moment trying to process what the girl had said.
"Hm?!" Lee Hyun-woo looked shocked after remembering what the little girl said.
"Aahh, I'm really sorry!" Siyeo-Ma apologized again for the girl's behavior.
*What the hell is happening?!*thought a confused Lee Hyun-woo.
Lee Hyun-woo was seen sitting with Siyeo-Ma and the little girl.
"So, actually this little girl is one of the children who played with the late Park Ji-nam more often." said Siyeo-Ma who was seen explaining to Lee Hyun-woo.
"This little girl misses Park Ji-nam so much that she dyed her hair and dressed up like Park Ji-nam." said Siyeo-Ma while pat the little girl's hair.
Lee Hyun-woo fell silent hearing this and looked at the little girl as he remembered the second time he was at the funeral.
Lee Hyun-woo is seen at the funeral for the second time for all the deceased, even for Park Min-ji and her father too, the atmosphere looks like it is drizzling and Lee Hyun-woo just stands drenched by the rain.
Lee Hyun-woo clenched his fists tightly while his face looked frustrated and his hair was messy, Seo-woo and the others could only let him be because they knew Lee Hyun-woo needed some time, even until the funeral was over, Lee Hyun-woo remained standing there.
Lee Hyun-woo also remembered that there was a little girl who also came to the funeral crying, but Park Ji-nam father that is there only patted the child's shoulder and left with a sad and disappointed face.
Lee Hyun-woo looked dazed thinking about it too much and for too long, until the little girl approached him and pulled his hand.
"Can you tell me, how was Park Ji-nam's sister's journey?" said the little girl which made Lee Hyun-woo speechless seeing her.
"Because she said she gonna tell me more stories, and it's been a long time since I heard a story from her...she said she was always busy." said the little girl which made the silent Lee Hyun-woo start to smile a lot remembering Park Ji-nam who was always busy.
"Yes, I will tell you and also my story how?"said Lee Hyun-woo who started to carry the little girl.
"Really?!"said the little girl who looked happy, and Siyeo-Ma who was sitting just smiled looking at them.
"Yes, but what if you tell me your name?" said Lee Hyun-woo who looked happy while carrying her.
"My name is*********" said the little girl which made Lee Hyun-woo's face shocked and started to smile sadly.
"So...where should I start the story..haha." said Lee Hyun-woo who started to tell about himself and Park Ji-nam.
Lee Hyun-woo said that for a long time, he didn't realize that 3 hours had passed and the little girl had fallen asleep on his lap. Lee Hyun-woo, who knew this, just smiled and carried her to her bed while covering her with blanket.
Lee Hyun-woo then came out of the room and asked Siyeo-Ma who was waiting near the door of the room.
"I'll get straight to the point, do any of you here know about Kwon Min-jae or the fire incident back then?" said Lee Hyun-woo who looked serious when asking Siyeo-Ma.
"Honestly I only heard a few things that he was one of the powerful people, and about the incident at that time...I don't know anything only that your late sister funded the construction of this and her father that keep helping us." Siyeo-Ma said which made Lee Hyun-woo feel calm and looked towards the little girl's bedroom before finally leaving.
"You're leaving, so why don't you join us for a quick meal? She'll definitely miss you."said Siyeo-Ma who followed Lee Hyun-woo out of the orphanage.
"Yes, thanks for your time but I'm also busy with some other things."said Lee Hyun-woo who smiled at Siyeo-Ma and opened the exit door.
"Ah! I want to ask something.."Siyeo-Ma said which made Lee Hyun-woo stop for a moment.
"Hm?"Lee Hyun-woo wondered confusedly.
"I see you have a ring on your hand..are you..married?"said Siyeo-Ma who looked interested in Lee Hyun-woo's ring.
Lee Hyun-woo seemed silent for a moment when he heard those words, he seemed to be thinking about something.
"Yes, I'm married, and I'm quite happy today. Thank you."said Lee Hyun-woo who smiled happily, making Siyeo-Ma see the reflection of Park Ji-nam who was smiling like Lee Hyun-woo next to Lee Hyun-woo's face.
"I see..please visit us again!"said Siyeo-Ma who looked happy when she heard this and waved her hand seeing Lee Hyun-woo walk out.
Lee Hyun-woo who walked out waved his hand back, and Siyeo-Ma was seen smiling.
"A lot of things really happened today..I hope everything will stay like this and be okay." said Siyeo-Ma who started to go inside and closed the door.
Lee Hyun-woo was seen walking towards the nearest parking lot where he parked his motorbike, but he suddenly stopped realizing something was wrong.
"Hello..brother." said a tall man with blonde hair who suddenly appeared from behind the car.
"Brother?" Lee Hyun-woo asked with an angry look on his face.
"Aren't we from the same family? Why didn't you come home with Dad at that time?" asked the tall man.
"I don't even know who you are, you better leave now than cause trouble here." said Lee Hyun-woo who started walking away not interested with the man.
"If you had obeyed, your woman would have lived until now." said the tall man which made Lee Hyun-woo stop and turn around with an annoyed face.
"It seems...im not gonna letting you go easily." said Lee Hyun-woo who looked ready to fight.
Lee Hyun-woo immediately charged forward by slowing down time, but suddenly the tall man moved normally without any obstacles.
"I told you..we are one family, right?"said the tall man before finally hitting Lee Hyun-woo which made him fly away.
Lee Hyun-woo who was thrown was seen landing himself smoothly on the car, he got out of the car slowly which made the tall man confused about what he was going to do.
Lee Hyun-woo suddenly disappeared and immediately hit the tall man right in the face, before finally landing a second punch that hit his waist.
"It's a shame..but I've been different since then." said Lee Hyun-woo who looked serious.
It turned out that the tall man was able to withstand Lee Hyun-woo's punch even though he looked in pain, before finally he caught Lee Hyun-woo and threw him out of the parking lot.
The tall man followed him out but Lee Hyun-woo just stood there as if nothing had happened.
"Well, I've had worse beatings when I first came here." said Lee Hyun-woo who looked fine and stretched his body.
"Let me guess...your name must be no.05, right? I've come across the same name many times before." said Lee Hyun-woo who suddenly disappeared from the tall man's sight.
Lee Hyun-woo was suddenly in front of him and immediately hit his waist before finally landing a second punch to his face which sent him flying and into a parking lot trash can.
"Child no.5 is done, maybe I should call Seo-woo again." said Lee Hyun-woo who opened his phone before suddenly falling silent and sighing.
Back to the time when Lee Hyun-woo came out of the meeting room, he was immediately invited by Seo-woo to eat out while Lee Hyun-woo also got to know the outside world that looked sparkling at night.
Lee Hyun-woo looked around, never ceasing to be amazed by everything, until finally he paused for a moment and looked up.
"If only...you were here and saw it all." said Lee Hyun-woo who remembered Park Min-ji again.
Seo-woo, who saw this, was silent for a moment before finally inviting Lee Hyun-woo to eat at one of the restaurants there.
"Oh, how about we eat at that restaurant?" said Seo-woo who invited Lee Hyun-woo to go into the restaurant.
Lee Hyun-woo saw that the restaurant was very busy, and ordered some seafood which looked delicious before Lee Hyun-woo finally ate it all.
"You'll waste my money if you keep eating that much." said Seo-woo who looked worried seeing Lee Hyun-woo eating too much.
"Then make me one of the agents in that place." said Lee Hyun-woo which made Seo-woo surprised to hear the sudden decision.
"Okay, if that's what you want, but you still have to follow the rules there." Seo-woo's words were not heard by Lee Hyun-woo.
"Are you listening to me..." said Seo-woo who just smiled seeing him fine.
Suddenly someone was standing near their table, when Lee Hyun-woo finished eating he was suddenly hit and thrown out of the restaurant.
Lee Hyun-woo looks fine, while Seo-woo tries to stop him but is also hit and faints on the spot. Lee Hyun-woo immediately stood up and the person was suddenly in front of him and immediately lifted him before finally throwing him towards a nearby shopping building.
People who were shopping in the building were shocked when Lee Hyun-woo was suddenly thrown into that place and started to panic. Lee Hyun-woo stood up again but was immediately caught by the person, Lee Hyun-woo who was caught looked normal, but it turned out he took a piece of broken glass and stabbed him in the neck.
The person looked fine from afar, but up close he was gone and immediately fell down.
"What's wrong with them.." said Lee Hyun-woo who was out of breath and saw their ID cards which is attached to his shirt on his chest.
Lee Hyun-woo then leaning on the wall while catching his breath, he look down for a moment.
Back to the present, Lee Hyun-woo is sitting on top of a car, he look down for a moment before clench his fist wondering how much her has grown now.
Then Seo-woo is seen arriving with another agent after Lee Hyun-woo waited for him for quite a while.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, the roads are quite congested."said Seo-woo who approached Lee Hyun-woo while looking at the tall man who had fainted.
"Hmm." Lee Hyun-woo answered, before finally leaving, which confused Seo-woo.
"Where are you going?" asked a curious Seo-woo.
Lee Hyun-woo was silent for a moment, confused about where to go, until he finally turned around and said with a smile.
"I will meet with Boss (Park Ji-nam's father)." said Lee Hyun-woo waving his hand.
Seo-woo who heard that was silent for a moment before finally being completely shocked.
"Hah?!" Seo-woo shouted in shock knowing something bad had happened at last meeting.
