"무슨 제안이요?" (What proposition ?) I asked growing intrigued. Myungjin pointed at himself. "Promise me you'll leave the family. That you'll look out for those new friends of yours, as well as yourself ?" I was confused. Why was he sounding like he was asking me to essentially go to war with my family ? Our family...

The pain was getting stronger.  I suddenly felt really weak. Myungjin laid me down. His skin was ice cold, "You better not break your promise. I'd hate to see you again so soon..."
