Its been days of Seo-jun keeping a close watch on Jiwoo.
According to Seojun's record, Last time Jiwoo went to school is a week ago, one of his legs were bandaged from what he seen back then, that could only indicate he had fought with Dr. Delein in result of his injuries.
It can be said that Jiwoo already encounter Jisuk, Their match probably coming up too. Despite that Seojun maintenance his distance everyday, coming to Jiwoo's house for a brief moment pretending to jog around the neighbour hood while keeping a close watch.
Inhyuk Goo had came by days ago, and Seojun began the countdown. Times went by fast, 2 days before their match began. Goodness its getting closer! I can't believe it.....Even if I can't attend I feel nervous for some reason!.
Seojun can be seen sitting down leaning against a wall while petting a stray cat beside him, Jiwoo house about 5 blocks away which kinda far if you say?.
This past days Seojun been working hard to control his aura so Kayden couldn't sense him coming, he got the idea after remembering That Jiyoung once visited Jiwoo, and Kayden didn't realise her energy coming from far away.
And so Seojun were motivated to work hard hiding his energy. "Huph!..." Seojun picked himself up ready with a bounce on both legs. It is time to go back home as theres nothing much to do by now.
His observation should be enough with the upcoming battle between Jiwoo and Jisuk. Give the kid credits!
______________________________________
Mmmmm, should I make an appointment with Shinwa?
Other then a group of awakeners, they are seen as normal company group among normal humans. The 'In' family hardly associated with any groups other then Seojun' grandparents. They once associated with Bakdu.
But the next generation, Seojun's father refuse to join any due to his own beliefs and ambitions, then followed by the rest as his children grew.
That is why Seojun remain classified as 'independent', A powerful one at that swell. He have tidy and admirable reputation amongst other Awakener, though they tend to be aggressive due to his independent status or generally disliked him.
I can just use an excuse of working together on a project and needed their power.....Hold on this aint easy yo-
Seojun will need to be at the good side of Shinwa and others if he wanted to keep an eye for Jiwoo. "Haaah....ill discuss this with hyung later"
His previous plan will obviously fail, Shinhwa is no small company or a small Association. It is most likely that his proposal will be refused or delayed. courtesy of Shinhwa being on the look out for any threat perhaps???
-4 Days later-
"Its been 4 days....Jiwoo got picked up by Inhyuk the other day...." Seojun mindlessly sat infront of a convince store with a milk box in hand while thinking of a plan to execute. Aight time for baby steps!.
Seojun stood up from the stool and threw away his drink after finishing it. Seojun put on a dark grey coloured mask to cover up half of his face and made his way somewhere near Jiwoo's school.
If he recalled correctly, one of the main character would be there, just somewhere. This gave him a perfect opportunity to be involved in their story.
Seojun does not wan't to change the route or possibly affect the story and change the course. However he has thought about them throughly before hand. There is gaps that he could fill with his presence without doing much of 'butterfly effect'.
Slowly but surely, he'll get there soon, along side with them walking safely. A supporting character is what he deems fit for these situation. And the young man has made sure not to intervene as long as it is not necessary.
-Takes place in chapter 29, Eleceed-
"This is so annoying, my sides keep aching" A white haired male who seemed so out of place due to his appearance murmur as he held the spot that ache badly from a spar he had, and that boy named Jisuk Yoo.
Truth to be told, it is his fault. He looked down upon his opponent too much just because they recently discovered the world of Awakened ones. The kid have no experience from what he saw before their spar.
And then just suddenly, BOOM! POW!!!
The kid really went all out despite the state he is in and not giving up until he wins. Tad bit arrogant if Jisuk needs to admit.
In the distance there stood a black haired male who's name is 'In Seojun' that seems rather suspicious if you look closely. But charming all together
His choice of clothing seems normal. That is if he doesn't wore the mask and looking around continuously from time to time.
"Have I been neglecting those guys these days?" He questioned himself in a quiet tone, mostly just talking to himself.
"haish, Darn it they're getting it on me" Jisuk turn to goes back to his 'Friends' feeling sorry for them. Not noticing that someone is waiting for him at a distance.
Once the white haired boy close to Seojun who's been patiently waiting, the older grabbed the younger's shoulder firmly thats enough to make him notice the older presence.
"Huh? the hell you want? let go" He stated harshly, alerted. The offended elder stood infront of him, standing right beside the white haired male not standing on his way and so they could observe at each other.
"Yah! im older then you have some respect tsk, here" The older lightly shove a banana milk onto Jisuk's chest signalling him to take it, which he surprisingly did. And here I thought he would threw it away.
"What you want?" There were silence between them except for the noises surrounds them. Seojun only come into realisation that this is rather ridiculous if anything else, but hey! Its fun?
Judging from the horrible things Jisuk's friends has done, it would make sense if he warns him right? They did stole other students money, and perhaps other things that didn't get mentioned.
"You know what i'll keep it short" Before the older can say anything else, the younger cuts in, already not liking how he acts and wanted nothing but to walk away.
"I can't hear you! just open the god damn mask!!" He complained. Losing his temper quickly. He'll sure to beat this guy up if he sees him around. And it'll be lot easier if he expose his face!!
Seojun sighed taking a step closer. Close enough to the male ear. Jisuk on instinct tries to move away but the elder already locked him in place with an arm slither on his waist. "The hell! --" Jisuk panicked once feeling the elder male close to his face.
He wanted to fought the older in self defence of course, however the sudden feeling of danger erupts his mind, it tells him that he shouldn't move unless he wanted a rough beating.
"If I was you, I won't waste my time on those 3 guys. Sooner or later you'll realise how truly rotten they are" The elder talked loud enough to deliver his massage. Afterwards He lets go of the younger walking away. Leaving Jisuk in confusion.
"What? Wh- hey! Where you going?!" Despite his calling Jisuk didn't move from where he's standing, and only watching the older male walked away not sparring him a look before then swiftly disappearing in the mass of crowds that suddenly grow in numbers.
"The hell is his problem...." Jisuk quietly murmur, scratching the back of his head before deciding to head to where he wanted to go before, not forgetting to drink the banana milk he was given. It taste good.
"FIRST COUNTER SUCCESS!"
