As Lee Hyun-woo ring light up with the reflection of the night city, the reflection turn into a light inside the meeting room in agency building that looks intense.
"From the statement that is made, to be honest it's not shocking that chaos just spread easily."
"Yeah, but imagine if the war actually break out here, we just stand no chance against them and the first day of war most likely we already lost a lot of resource."
"And nothing to back us up, since this happened all over the world."
"If it is happened all over the world, like seriously can't we just joined force and finished them."
"Easy to said that for someone who never step out from his cave, the situation is crap and we all trap here so is with the other country."
While the council members talked to each other and even started arguing, the Boss was seen sitting in serious silence at the very end.
"Quiet down, all of you.."
The boss suddenly spoke in an intimidating voice and his face looked like he was holding back anger.
"The council will return to their respective duties, while preparing for war we will defend because attacking does not seem like a good option either."
"While carrying out your respective duties, in each area we will evacuate the residents into the defense area and make sure no one is left behind."
"Then don't forget to keep reporting the remaining stock every 2 days or in emergency, as well as the situation."
Right now i only do what i can, im worried but atleast it's better than nothing.
*I know what kind of person he is, even if i never see the other side of him. I know if ever think to attack on the first place, we will be done for.*
Each decision that i make, i only feel fear, i fear that i might make the wrong choice and killed everyone.
Even if everyone dies, its my duty and what i did. That will be the burden that only i myself carried, this is..my burden.
*I know everyone feel the same, since it's been a long time there is ever a war or conflict.*
*But this war...i can feel this is going to be different, a lot of things going to change.*
The others council just discuss about their situation with each other, as time ticking i know we gotta make move fast but still there is just something feels off.
"You all can go now."
I might need sometimes alone to think, maybe also with rest..resting my eyes a bit doesnt sounds that bad right.
*That kid might be the key, well he's the Strongest agen after all, so is with his team but can they take care of this matter?*
"I feel kinda guilty for sending those kids to the battlefield..Agh."
If there is really a way out, please.
*I know it sounds like im saying..*
"God, if you there..please lead us to the victory of tomorrow."
*....*
"Sir...there is someone want to meet you."
Well, i expected a lot that he will come over. From all the timing that he could take, why not before while still at meeting.
Lee Hyun-woo enter the room with an anger draw on his face, he just standing still near the door.
"I know..we must be looking like a shit in your eyes, but right now i also try my best too."
"So what ever you do-" Lee Hyun-woo suddenly standing infront of holding a knife near his troath ready to kill him.
The Boss dint panick and continue his word.
"You better not do anything stupid enough, since we don't stance a chance too win."
I know that all that is just a killing intent, and that kid there would have kill me..
*No..he would killed us all of he joined the meeting.*
"It's all on me so it will be my burden."
Lee Hyun-woo just stare at him that suddenly said it, he still looking mad but slowly he held it.
"Tch.."
Hearing it just make my me wavering, i don't know how am i suppose to react now, so i just leave him be..i know he gonna need it.
"Don't carry everything on your own, you are not death yet..so give us order as a Boss and...our guardian."
As that kid leaving i just sit still, im thinking again about what he just said.
*Kid these days.. seriously.*
*What a word he just pull off, i guess...time goes really fast huh.*
Now that im really getting old, it should be better to keep going. Im feeling really tired from just getting up, maybe i should get some exercise too.
"Ugh, how anoying." As he said, he start getting up and leaving the room.
On the other side, Lee Hyun-woo is walking down the hall way that crowded until he see a window open.
*No..im just gonna take the short cut.*
Lee Hyun-woo jump out using the window that already open, he drop down really fast and landing him self on top of truck.
'Cough, Cough'
*Ugh, i dint think the truck roof gonna break that easily..*
I landed inside the truck since the roof is to weak, good things there is a hole in the truck so i can get out and there is also no one here that see me damaged the truck.
As Lee Hyun-woo look around, he noticed a camera on the agency building, he just point at the camera threatening the guard.
"Ugh..."
Then I remembered that I don't have time to joke around now, I immediately got on my motorbike and went as fast as I could, entering the housing complex I kept driving fast until I arrived at the orphanage.
I immediately got off my motorbike and checked the surrounding area while calling Siyeo-Ma, while waiting for my phone to be answered, I checked the surrounding area from the roof of the building.
Suddenly the phone stopped ringing, and I immediately looked at my phone and picked it up while looking at the dark orphanage.
"Hello?!"
"Mister, where are you?"
"?!"
I was lost for words and immediately jumped from the building running into the orphanage, I broke through the glass door without stopping at all.
The room was so dark and quiet but I still ran, I ran towards "Park Min-ji"'s room and opened the door forcefully, and all that i see is her crying beside Siyeo-Ma who is trying to calm her down while holding her cellphone which was still on.
I entered slowly while turning off my cell phone and putting it in my pocket so it's not gonna disturb, while "Park Min-ji" who heard my footsteps immediately noticed me and her teary eyes finally started to shed tears and ran into my arms.
"Im so sorry that im late." As i hug her, all i could feel is guilty from everyone that i can't protect, and sadness that i missed her.
"Im scared..."
"I know, i know... it's alright now, that im here."
This child is scared but what I am doing, I myself feel scared when I hold her, the same feeling that happened the last time I held her warmth.
"It's all going to be fine, im going to stay here with you until morning alright."
"You staying here mister?" The other kid that in the same room with "Park Min-ji" suddenly ask, but i only reply with a smile.
"Ah, also Ms.Siyeo-Ma i might be really sorry because i broke the door open, so please inform the others to stay with the kids and lock the door for now."
The current situation is unfavorable, so we cannot act arbitrarily. Even though I was the one who broke the door, but now the other agents and I are also busy so I can't do anything but wait with you.
*Really, this situation is very nostalgic even though the situation is different or maybe...the same.*
Even though hundreds of years have passed, I will always remember you all..because you all are always around me.
Whoever this child is, I will protect her and more so that the same thing doesn't happen.
"What about sleep on the bed, im gonna sit here infront of you."
"But.."
"It's okay, be brave for me. Can you do that?" I know it sounds cruel, but in the future she will also face something more than this.
"Okay.."
"Thank you.."
"But it suppose to be me who thank to you?" Hearing that word i just make me feel happy and had nothing to say, because it make me remember that she just a child but...
*Thank you, for always remembering me and stay by my side even when you already gone.*
22:39
'At Seo-woo House.'
Lee Ji-woo still waiting at home, she paced back and forth feeling restless, unable to calm down.
*Why are there not a single person answering my text, what the hell is happening right now?!*
I really can't feel calm, I'm very anxious and panic because there is no news at all, not even any other news in this city. I just keep checking my phone every minute, I've even prepared everything I need to go.
*Please, someone answer my message.*
Then suddenly the door of the house opened and it turned out to be Seo-woo's subordinate who led him in.
"What happened?!"
"It was just a car accident, I'm fine."
"You can go now, thank you."
Seeing his condition with his head bandaged I couldn't calm down, but I still tried to help him and guided him to the bedroom.
"Wait, I'll just rest in the living room."
"Okay.."
"You don't need to worry, it's just a small wound but what's with these suitcases?"
"Lee Hyun-woo told me to just get ready and wait at home, but I don't know where he went, and he hasn't come back yet."
"I thought he would come back with you."
Seo-woo, who looked confused, immediately turned on his cellphone and saw a message from Lee Hyun-woo.
'Lee Hyun-woo: I can't go home now, because I'm at the orphanage looking after the children here.'
'Lee Hyun-woo: I had no other choice, because I accidentally broke the door.'
*"Broke the door" huh?*
Well, I might be a little surprised to know that he broke the door but it can't be helped because that's just how he is like his older sister.
'Lee Hyun-woo: The area around the house is safe, so there shouldn't be any problems at all but please stay alert.'
'Seo-woo: Thank you, and be carefull.'
For now, the situation in the city is busy, even though the enemies are guarding every restriction, we must be alert because there will definitely be someone who sneaks in.
Even though the war hasn't started yet, we must remain alert, but maybe for now... there's no harm in taking a break.
Many cities had already taken action, from those who took shelter and hid or even those who were stubborn and chose to start a war right away.
The enemy's strength is not yet known, but they know our strength and our numbers.
Only for now we can only hide and survive, until the time comes I am sure there will be a miracle for us to win this war and end it.
'We bide our time. We survive. In fear we hide, until one voice will cheer and light the way for us to move forward.'
