Events leading to the fire at Kim Si woo's orphanage.

I still remember the days where I was happy. I had a small family, just I my mom and dad, we didn’t have much but we were okay. We lived in an underground station that was left abandoned since war times and called it home. Everyone here lived like ghosts because we had no social security number. We practically didn’t exist in the eyes of the government but we still thrived. Everything was okay till it wasn't.

I awoke to screams and fire as multiple men from within the shadows stepped in and started taking children left and right. I remembered my mom standing in front of me, trying to use herself as a shield and I remember her falling to the ground cold and lifeless as I was dragged along with the other children.

White, was the first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes. I was on a table stuck to numerous electrodes as scientists poked and prodded at me. I was tested in my aim, my ability to run, my ability to reason and strength a

    Number 1’s missionNumber 1 followed the stranger with the red dress out of the first floor of club Echo. He kept close to her and tried not to make it too obvious that he was intrigued where the second floor of Club Echo would be.From his analysis, there wasn't a single way to get to in through the first floor as he had checked ever so conspicuously but as she headed over to the entrance through which he first came in, the puzzle clicked instantly. Number one watched as the girl in the red dress disappeared through a blacked out curtain that blended in with the decor and the moment she was out of sight he cringed hard before following her.As number one stepped through the blacked out curtain he noticed that the blacked out curtain led into a passage that held an elevator. The girl with the red dress watched him closely back and number one didn't have to try too hard to look amazed.“Amazing isn't it?” the girl said in a happy tone.“This isn't the only elevator into the second floo

    Number 4’s mission.Number 4’s target was the CEO of “CGM” , a rival company to REM. CGM was a technological company that was created six years ago. It was led by an old man with poor financial decisions so it’s estimated worth was nothing much till the election of their new CEO “Kim Haesong”.Kim Haesong was a South Korean middle aged man who was overly righteous and meticulous. He took work very seriously and ever since his election, the company has had a dramatic reform. Within three years Kim Haesong was elected, CGM, which was way below REM in terms of technology, turned into a centre of innovation and cutting edge technology.Number 4 understood the reason why Han Ji Suk didn't attack him sooner because Han Ji Suk never went against things he considered beneath him but considering that CGM has begun to hurt REM with its pricing strategy and product design, it's safe to say that Han Ji Suk has had enough.Number 4 yawned as he stepped foot on a rooftop building two buildings away

    The fifth mark's hideout.The four girls slowly made their way to a hide out 1.5 meters from the warehouse.They used the trees as shades as they crept closer to the wooden house surrounded by vines and boarded up windows. The cabin almost looked abandoned with its’ weathered down appearance but the soft glow of number 9’s plushy urged them forward.They all crept towards the door with number 12 infront to interfere with any cameras, motion sensors etc. The doorway to the cabin was like any other lock so number 10 picked the lock and they all went in.As they got into the cabin nothing prepared them for the amount of technology inside. The outside appearance was just a front and the boarded up windows was a nice way to block out the light from the numerous computers in the room. At a particular corner of the room breathing sounds could be heard. Preparing themselves for anything the girls crept towards it only to find out that it was coming from the computer. Sensing something was wro

    10 years passed by with the children going on missions to increase Han Ji Suk's influence.Han Ji Suk worked and trained them like dogs in order to gain full control over them. The warehouse the numbered children lived in only had a makeshift sleeping area, with cots and folding beds arranged in a shared space. It had little water resources, no room for personal lockers or small areas to themselves and their blankets and sleeping bags were always thrown across the cots, giving the area a rough, utilitarian feel.Acknowledging their fate after previous failed attempts at running away the children channeled their frustration into their craft and accepted their orders dutifully.Among the numbered children the one with the highest kill count was number 1. Number one was swift, efficient and had less casualties than all the numbered children put together. He had a philosophy of only killing his victims so people who saw glimpses of his handiwork or managed to escape because they weren't h
