Seol was in the kitchen preparing their breakfast. Even if they woke up early, it was a holiday for the family as none of them are going out today except for a family day out. This made Seol smile a little to herself.

These are the only ways to make her feel warm...

"Hey! What happened Seol-ah?" Waving his hands in front of his daughter, the father interrupted her thoughts and made her come out of her trance. She smiled widely and shook her head mumbling, 'nothing'.

"Seol-ah! Look there!"

The man pointed at the worrying form of Haeun in excitement, who was making her way down the stairs to the living room.

Seol jumped in fear of his deep voice and ran out of the kitchen to see what he mentioned. "Dad, you scared me- Omo! Haeun? This early?"

Father-daughter's voices just interrupted her thoughts and she looked up to give a sheepish smile at them. She went inside the kitchen along with Seol to help her out in making breakfast. Though the Seol denied her favour, still she insisted. Cause something was needed to refresh her mind.

"Haeun-ah, get me some old newspaper, please. The tissues are nowhere to be seen! And now this syrup- OH GOD! Get me newspapers only, quick!"

"Wait wait- I'm coming with newspapers!"

With that Haeun ran out of the kitchen to the storeroom to get the old newspapers. As she opened the door, some not-so-old papers caught her eyes and she picked them up in a hurry. But who knew that her eyes will land on the ones, where it shouldn't...?

"YAH! WHERE'RE YOU?! BE FAST, PABOYA!"

As the voice rang in her ears like an unwanted alarm clock, she ran out of there and reached the kitchen to hand her the papers so that she can clean the mess created by the syrup. But she was still holding that paper.

What's this...?

It was the headline of a specific article that caught her eyes...well, her whole attention now.


'THE NUMBERS CAN KILL HUMANS NOW!'


And that's what made her eyes read the whole article and find the name which she was least expecting. Ha Kyojin.

Ha- Kyojin?! Isn't it in the...

"Yah! What're you doing?! Just help me- Oh my! Eeekkk! Is this glue or what?! STICKY BITCH!"

Seol kept on with her rant while cleaning the syrup from the counter and the floor. But Haeun's trance and attention never went back at her for a second. Too many thoughts were bombarding in her mind and it was so busy to look out on any other things. When the older man was busy changing channels on the TV and enjoying her rant, which was cute for him.

Suddenly, a news channel popped up on the TV and he increased the volume hurriedly as he saw a scene of the fire on the screen. The reporter started...


A major fire broke out earlier this morning in the Bellevue Hospital, at Daechon-Gil street, Gwangju. The cause of the fire is still unknown! But the rumors had it saying, that it caused by the short circuit malfunction in one of the many air conditioners installed in the hospital. The conflagration gutted six people, including two children and a well-known doctor. Within seconds the whole building was converted into a blazing inferno! More than 20 fire brigade tankers succeeded in dousing the fire within 4 hours...
