Flashback to when Hajun was in the hospital.Overwhelmed by the emotions So dohyun was feeling, he stepped out of the hospital room for some fresh air.He padded to the waiting area and took a seat close to the wall. Resting his head on the wall, he let out a huge sigh.As he tried to center himself, he noticed someone take a seat next to him. He didn't react to the presence nor did he lift his head to glance at the person beside him. So dohyun just wanted peace and tranquility so he focused on his breathing till he heard someone whisper.“Fetch” the stranger said.Not knowing what that meant So dohyun sat up quickly and used his eyes to survey the room. Without moving his head he tried to access everything around him but there was no danger.“It seems like it works.” said the male stranger.“What works?” So dohyun thought in confusion.“What is he talking about?” So dohyun thought again.Confused internally So dohyun didn't move as he observed the stranger from the corner of his eyes

Thirty minutes before Hajun ordered his bodyguards to ransack Dohyun's room.The minute Dohyun was led to his room and his doors were locked shut. He began checking for any prior cameras or listening videos.He had been careful to avoid speaking about the plan in his or hajun's room because he had a sinking suspicion that their rooms had been bugged.He had thirty minutes before Hajun will be back from the hospital so he got to work without scattering the place or making too much noise. With his RF detector in hand he checked the corners of his bed frame, the top of his curtain, the windows and his center table. He began to think that his suspicion was all in his head until the machine began to flash in his hands. He stood in place and tried to figure out what was triggering it. He lifted his hands above his head and the flashing stopped, he dropped his hands a little and there was a faint light coming from the machine. He dropped his hands further and the machine begun to flash even

After the shooting at the rooftop restaurantA groan caused hajun to raise his gaze from the carpeted floor to the injured bodyguard laying on a recently made bed in one of the spare rooms in hajun's mansion.He walked up to the bodyguard as the bodyguard tried his best to sit up properly.“A doctor examined you while you were passed out. He said it was nothing but a flesh wound and the only reason you passed out was due to large amounts of blood loss” he said, causing the bodyguard to sigh in relief.“I was intrigued when he said that.” hajun said looking at the bodyguard.“With the way you were angled and a shot from that direction, I was certain that the bullet would hit a vital spot. How did you manage to dodge that?” he said, raising an eyebrow.“I felt the vibration in the air and positioned myself in the best way where neither of us would be in danger sir”He felt the vibration from that distance.“How long have you been assigned to watch over the house?”“I was part of the bod

The talk between So dohyun and hajunA squeak could be heard as a chair scraped against the carpeted floor. Hajun settled in with his new personal bodyguard behind him and faced forward. On the opposite side was So dohyun who looked like he had gone through a lot.“How are you feeling?” asked Hajun tentatively.“Fine.” So dohyun said too quickly before taking a deep breath.“Better actually. I have been meeting with a physiatrist recently and we have been working through what happened. How are you?” So dohyun said, scratching the nape of his neck in what he hoped was an awkward manner.“Good!” hajun said while swallowing, trying to create a tense environment.“I am glad to hear that you are doing well” hajun said, readjusting his position in his seat. Hajun readjusted his position to get So dohyun to notice the person behind him and sure enough, So dohyun's eyes moved to the person standing off to the side of hajun.“Who is that?” So dohyun said with a nod in the bodyguard’s direction

“You can drop the act now.” hajun said and silence settled in the room.So dohyun stood still in front of him, Jonghyun paused in his marching towards So dohyun and Sae Jun was confused.“You can drop the act Jonghyun. You and I know that you are tired of Sae Jun’s calculating schemes” hajun stated.Jonghyun tilted his head in confusion as he turned to gawk at Hajun.“Admit it, Sae Jun is overbearing, rude and cynical. There is no reason a free bird like you should be tied to him” hajun stated in a matter of fact manner.“At least admit that If you tried to reach out to me by slipping me a piece of paper” hajun said with a sigh.Sae Jun looked at Jonghyun with growing rage.“Chul Dohnyun did report hajun reading something in secret. There is no way that was you right?” Sae Jun asked in rage.“You can't seriously believe this!” Jonghyun said looking at Sae Jun in shock.“I would never do something like that” Jonghyun said trying to defend himself.As they bickered hajun pinked up the s

So dohyun weakly shook his head away from Jonghyun. Breathing heavily he tried to move away but So dohyun could not control his body.“Don't be scared Dohyun-ah.” Jonghyun said tutting.“With each breath you are becoming at ease” Jonghyun said with an evil smile.“Let the world around you fade away” Jonghyun said, grabbing So dohyun's head with force.“Focus on my voice” Jonghyun said in a whisper and So dohyun's eyes dimmed.“Picture a staircase.” Jonghyun said with a hum.“With each step down, you’ll find a memory—one you’ve tried to forget.” said Jonghyun.So dohyun trembled as he tried to resist but the image of a staircase was conjured in his mind.“Good.” Jonghyun said with a soothing voice.“Go down to the first step. What do you see?” Jonghyun asked and So dohyun struggled.“Bloodied hands” So dohyun said while scrubbing his hands.“What do you hear?” Jonghyun asked in a whisper.“Laughter” So dohyun said placing his hands over his ears.“Murderer” Jonghyun whispered and So do

So dohyun looked at his reflection with a mixture of relief and horror, relief that it was finally gone and horror because he knew what would happen next.“Look at him” the leader said laughing at So dohyun's petrified face.“He probably misses his safety blanket” the leader mocked.“He must have had an emotional attachment to it ” one of his tormentors said and everybody laughed.Whilst they laughed, So dohyun tried his best not to cry. The boys turned his sorrow into a contest of who could get the most laughs out of each other and So dohyun could only stare in defeat.One of the bigger boys managed to spark the most laughter and spurred on by that fact the boy picked up the mirror and shoved it in So dohyun's face.“He just cut his hair, I am sure he is not used to it yet. How about we help him get used to it” the boy said, bringing the mirror close to So dohyun's face and So dohyun's eyes began to blur.What did he do to deserve this? He begged his mom to cut his hair but she never

Han Mee Jin scoffed quietly as she took in So dohyun’s tight grip on the pencil. She has done numerous sketches of the cherry blossoms and knew from experience that in order to capture the fragility of the cherry blossoms the sketch must be done with a relaxed grip. She sighed as So dohyun continued the sketch with that grip but when she thought she had seen enough So dohyun angled his pencil in a different way.Curious Han Mee Jin moved her seat closer to So dohyun to see what he was up to only to be met with the sturdy outline of the trunks and branches. During all her portraits of the cherry blossom tree Han Mee Jin has always tried to give it a fragile undertone. Cherry blossoms only last about two weeks before dying so she focused on bringing out the feeling of fragile beauty through the petals but So dohyun style was completely different, his take on it was solitary. The cherry blossoms drawn by So dohyun was isolated on a patch of grass with a thick trunk, study branches and fe

“So dohyun keep up.” Han Mee Jin yelled as she ran.”Despite what Daeshim said, the culprit didn't show itself for five months.“Wow you are really terrible at this” Han Mee Jin said mockingly as she hid herself behind a dumpster poorly.For the first three months, So dohyun was continuously on edge as he waited for any sign of them but as time went on So dohyun began to relax.“I have got you now” Han Mee Jin said, trying to pounce on So dohyun but he simply sidestepped her and shot her in the chest. After being shot in the chest, it took Han Mee Jin two seconds to react and as expected she fell to her knees dramatically.“I almost had you!” She wailed.“I win” So dohyun said with the gun behind his ear as he smiled down at her.“I call a rematch.” She demanded.“Sure” So dohyun said confidently.“I beat you at Laser tag, paintball and capture the flag. Do you want to try airsoft this time?” So dohyun said with a grin and Han Mee Jin wailed again.“It's impossible!” She yelled.“How

So dohyun was 2cm away from slicing his own neck before a gust of fresh air hit him in the face.“So dohyun” a familiar voice said shaking him.“Let go of the knife” the person said in desperation but So dohyun was too slow to execute the order.“So dohyun” yelled the familiar voice.So dohyun was in a state of numbness as he watched the person in front of him.“Open up every window and drive that gas out of here!” The familiar voice ordered and several people came forward to unboard the windows.From his hazziness So dohyun noted that Jonghyun was restrained and was being moved somewhere. The familiar voice infront of him was trying to speak to him but So dohyun was trying to get himself together, he almost slit his own neck for crying out loud! The familiar voice kept on talking but So dohyun interrupted it.“Stop talking.” yelled So dohyun and the voice stopped in shock.“Just give me a minute” So dohyun said, taking in a breath.“Give me one- no five” he said struggling to get up.
