The Code

CHAPTER 5

She got into trouble... I guess I need to do something..

Tae-Kwang entered the hospital only to find Luna being chased on the second floor. 

Ha! This is a piece of cake! *Smirk*

He saw an emergency siren and broke it.

People panicked and started forming a huge crowd...

"FIRE ALERT! LET'S RUN!!!"

In the meantime, Tae-Kwang found that Luna got caught. He grabbed a white coat and mask and made his way towards Luna. He snatched a syringe from a nurse on his way...

Tae-Kwang attacked one of them from the back.

"Woahhhhhh!!!!! That was coool....!!!!"
(Luna)

The other guy pulled Luna towards him.

"Step back or I'll kill her!"
(The other guy)

"Haha! What a joke!"
(Tae-kwang)

He suddenly moved towards the guy and stabbed him with the loaded syringe on his neck.

"HEY, PROPOFOL!"
(Luna)

"Yah! Don't shout, you chemical nerd!"
(Tae-kwang)

They escaped from the place leaving their coats and masks behind...

Meanwhile at Mi-young's house, Gwangju...

Nicole found the recording of the past 3 hours and realized that Mi-young is kidnapped. He showed the video to others in the room.

"THAT TATTOO?!?!??"
(Young Jae)

Young Jae took his phone and zoomed onto the person's face.

"I SHOULD'VE KNOWN THIS BEFORE! IS THIS WHY HE TAKES MANY LEAVES???!?"
(Young Jae)

"What do you know about him, Jae?"
(Hong Ji)

"You guys know each other?"
(Nicole)

"I'll explain it later. Jae, tell me what you know about him."
(Hong Ji)

"He's a coworker of where I work.. he has night shift but he takes frequent leaves... The owner wouldn't budge and INSTEAD, HE TRIED TO SHUT. ME. UP.?!"
(Young Jae)

"Calm down, we'll figure this out.."
(Sung Jae)

Phone call to Hong ji

"Am I speaking to Ms. Hong-ji?"

"Yeah, who's this?"
(Hong-ji)

"Registrations for the world championships are closing soon. We need your presence for your participation."

"I'm sorry but I can't participate in this championship."
(Hong Ji)

"If you're going to forfeit, you need to sign a contract here in Busan. If not you'll be disqualified for the future combats."

"When is the due date?"
(Hong Ji)

"It's tomorrow."

Call ended

"Guys, I've to leave immediately and I'll join you tomorrow."
(Hong Ji)

"I'm coming with you."
(Young Jae)

"No, you're not."
(Hong Ji)

"I can't lose you either. Please.."
(Young Jae with a sad tone)

"Fine. Let's go and you guys better watch out for the things here."
(Hong Ji)

The next day, Busan, South Korea

Hong Ji completed the forfeit process with Young Jae behind and walking on a street to take the next bus to Gwanju. They saw a man throwing a trash bag out of his van but the litter was dribbled in the middle of the street.

The man came out to gather up his thrown trash but tensed when he heard a yell.

"HEY! YOU'RE RUINING THE STREET!" (Hong-ji)

The man was terrified when Hong Ji was coming toward him and he started to run leaving his car behind.

"IDIOT! PICK YOUR TRASH!" (Hong-ji)

Hong-Ji stopped near the trash while Young Jae was walking toward her mindlessly. Hong-Ji was getting rid of the trash by herself but was stopped when she found familiar stuff in it...

"Jae... This locket..." (Hong-ji)

Young Jae was staring at where Hong-Ji was showing.. he was frozen when he saw a  phone with the same case as his phone case....

"JAE! CALL NICOLE!" (Hong Ji shouted)

⌨︎

The room was filled with small beeps of electronic gadgets and there works Tae-Kwang in focussed mode.

"Tae-kwang~"
(Luna enters quietly and sits beside Tae-Kwang)

"I'm hungry~"
(Luna pouted)

"Wait till I find the call log"
(Tae-kwang)

"How did you find his identity?"
(Luna)

"Do it later.. pleeeaseee"
(Luna with puppy eyes)

"..."
(Tae-kwang)

"Mr. Gong, if you're not going to tag along, your phone will be snatched in 3...2...1..! Here I go..!!!"
(Luna)

"Yah Chemical nerd, give it back!"
(Tae-kwang)

*Notification sound*

"Lucky you, Nicole texted you"
(Luna)
