Brainstorm

To Woojin, who was speaking without raising his head, his mother spoke like a tyrant.

“I feel bad about that, too. But you're old now, aren't you? I think it's good to start a family and settle down. I can also live comfortably, but it's hard to see you doing dangerous things. ”

“I don't want to get married. ”

“But why don't you meet her? Even in Congressman Kim's position. ”

“I'll think about it.... ”

He only answered that, but he had never thought about meeting a woman other than Gourri.

“I'll go in first. ”

After he got up first, he went back to his room. And about that time, the sound of his father and mother quarreling was being heard from a distance.

“What the hell are you doing? How long has our newborn been dead? You don't have a conscience? ”

“Oh, my God. What's wrong with this? This is what we do for our son, isn't it? ”

“Do it for your son? When did you get so different? You don't even think about what we've been through? ”

“Why don't you know? Because I know when it's been hard because of you! ”

“This man! He said that if people suddenly change, they die. You think I don't know that you're trying to pick up on people these days that you never had money for? ”

His wife was kind to all the guests when he first opened the restaurant. At some point, I began to focus on status, competence, and power, not all guests.

They were a couple who didn't want money, but that wasn't the case for their visitors. Starting with the famous people in politics, those who accumulated fame and fortune in the country often visited the restaurant without much to see.

In that situation, his mother gradually began to interact with them. Did I mention that people follow their surroundings? What she changed has been since then.

As she began to interact with prominent and powerful women, she came to judge on the basis of her ordinary and courteous status.

Woojin's father knew about this, but he had been pretending not to. It was because she suffered a lot because of herself, so it was a matter of wanting to keep it hidden.

However, I could no longer admit that I was mobilized to my son because of such desires. What kind of kid is Gouriri anyway?

As a father, I didn't have a lot of conversations with my son, but I learned that she changed Eugene a lot. And how much they love each other. However, after only a few months, his wife forgot such a lovely child and gave him a picture of a politician's daughter, and now he feels pathetic.

“So? Do I meet anyone? What's wrong with meeting someone with prestige and power for the sake of our son? ”

“This guy. What's the point of fame and power? It's important to be human. Think about you. ”

“Never mind. If you want to get into the past, stop talking. ”

The two of them no longer had a conversation.

‘What changed like this...? ’

He leans behind the door, sighing and closing his eyes.

You must need money to live a good life. The more money you have, and not a certain amount, the better your quality of life will be. However, such money can make people around him different.

In this reality, he made money to change the quality of life, and then even the quality of people changed. He felt pathetic about what he had done.

‘If we were alive...... we wouldn't even have thought of this...' ’

One person's vacancy is to be filled by another. It is not that they do not understand their mother's actions because they have to do it in a natural way. But…… Woojin is not ready to forget everything and meet new people right now. It was also... a situation where we couldn't give up hope and naivety.

Knock, knock.

Someone knocks on the door.

“Alfredo, sir. ”

“Come in.”

Alfredo leans in and opens the door.

“We're all set. ”

“Very well. We'll leave now. ”

Finished speaking, Alfredo doesn't leave the room, but asks Woojin.

“But are you going alone this time? ”

“Yes, there it is. ”

“Still...... don't you think you'd be better off with them? ”

“I wish I could say the same...... I don't think this is an easy situation to say. If anyone asks, please keep it a secret. ”

“I understand.”

Alfredo nods.

Kiiing!

Woojin's private jet leaving for the United States. There, he leaned against the chair.

‘Should I rest this time too...? ’

As a competent person, life is less than others. But you can be more proud of what you've been through than any other talent. And gradually I felt that this life was a lot of pressure.

Someone who creates expectations, or gives hope. I could have been an idol to others, but I was putting a lot of pressure on him.

‘Grey…… and when the Pacific problem is over, I want to clear everything up and rest……. ’

If all this had been over, W.J. would have been the one to clean it up. The mind was already fixed and there was no foolishness.

He tucks his hand into his pocket. And I touched something.

He remembers clearly. Since when have you been carrying this around in your pocket?

A luscious orb given to you by a Sea Dragon for the first time. Ever since then, I've carried this around with me, like an amulet to Woojin. We also know that sea dragons can find themselves through this. Although I no longer see him because of what he did to us, I miss him. But…… still, Woojin could not forgive him.

‘Where is it...? ’

After the incident on the roof of the hospital, I only saw the image of the sea dragon once. It was the day of our descent. I saw his body soaking in the clouds. But that was the last time. Now, I didn't even know where Sea Dragon was doing what, and no one asked me about it.

‘When all this is over... will there be a day when I can forgive you too...?' ’

He thinks about the unacceptable sea dragon, but he's touching the orb.

Shhhhh!

With his determination, the plane flew towards the United States.

The U.S. government received a report that Woojin was coming. Unusual, however, is that Woojin did not disclose this to the Korean government, and has been in constant contact with the United States.

He wanted to work quietly by himself. There was nothing bad in America. It's because after he finished the quest, it was only a matter of getting rid of the unknown person well.

So I opened my arms and welcomed him.

A private plane has arrived in the United States. And U.S. government agents are out in vehicles to greet him.

“Welcome. ”

“Sorry I'm late. ”

“No! Thank you so much for coming! But…… are you sure you want to do this alone? ”

“You don't believe me? ”

“It's not like that. I just thought it would be okay if I had a helper...... I was reluctant to call myself Sea Dragon...... ”

“Enough. I can do this alone, so please don't say another word." Just give me a location. ”

“I understand.”

As soon as Eugene cut and refused, he immediately prepared the car. The scene I saw while traveling for a long time in a vehicle was that many Americans were packing their bags or getting out in a vehicle.

“Looks like there's been an evacuation." ”

“Yes. These days there are riots, assaults, and murders. As the mysterious man continued to move, the government had to evacuate as many people as possible. ”

“I see… rioting, assault and murder…. ”

Woojin remembered what the Principal of Research said. Based on that, I thought maybe the overall events that are happening in the United States now have something to do with Margie.

‘It's a matter of getting rid of him. ’

Margie's influence will get worse and worse.

Military forces are advancing, maintaining order, caring about the safety of citizens, and leading them in an orderly fashion.

There was a lot of smoke everywhere, either caused by riots or with flames, just like the government agents said.

Yuck!

And at some point, the car stopped.

“I think that's as far as we can go. ”

“I see…… Where are we headed? ”

“They say you can meet them there. ”

“Very well, then. ”

Woojin got out of the car. And I just walked down the path of darkness on my own.

Dark night skies that are invisible to all stars, even at night. Clouds are piled up and there's no electricity in the surroundings.

All the citizens were evacuating in one place, and the place itself was so quiet.

Boom boom.

The sound of Ujin walking only echoes around him, and he's wandering the streets alone.

Kummm!

Kwazazazazak!

And then there's a noise coming from somewhere.

Is that it?

I thought maybe the noise was heard by Grey.

“Rrrrgh!”

At that moment, I heard screams.

Is there anyone who hasn't evacuated yet? ’

He rushes toward the sound. And there I could see Grey for the first time.

His face was hard to discern because his whole body was covered in Margaux. However, I could see his hair through the gaps in the smoke. Dark eyes that appear to be between blonde hair.

As the smoke cleared, I noticed the person on the floor. The shape of a withered mummy.

Did you just scream? ’

Woojin with his fist burning in a brutal manner.

“Are you Grey? ”

“Hehe hehe.”

He doesn't answer, he just smiles.

“How did you get hold of Margie? ”

His smile disappears from his smiling face.
