Shin Jae Ho enjoyed himself immensely.

After weeks of exhausting travelling and sleeping in uncomfortable places, he finally saw what he was looking for—a spark of interest in his leader's eyes. He didn't know what exactly he saw in the young man, but he didn't care, they had reached their destination.

For Jae Ho, the case was closed: Take the young man and go back home, where he wouldn't be forced to constantly live in this dirt. Hopefully someone would clean the young man up first; he was covered in dust and all kinds of oily substances. And his hair! No matter how precious water was, surely he could spend some to wash properly now and then?

He was surprised that the young man should be a lost generation. He had heard he was some kind of rumoured genius, but he didn't even know what a mailbox was! Could he even read and write? He wouldn't blame him if he couldn't, it didn't surprise him if he had better things to do in his 23years of life. Surviving for example.

He turned to his co-member to ask if he wanted another drink, but stopped with his mouth open.

Yoo Ki Hyeok, usually calm and amiable expression, sat completely frozen and stiff, eyes wide with a strange mixture of shock, relief and pure horror in them, and stared at the young man. The sight was so unexpected that Jae Ho had to forcefully pull himself together.

"Ki Hyeok? What is it?"

"Ki Hyeok? What is it?"
