Kim Rok Soo saw someone familiar.

The man had long dark hair that matched his eyes along with a face and body that would be considered perfect for the main character of an action movie with a mysterious past (something he'd never admit outloud).

"Are you not going to get up, you punk! You're already an hour late."

Team leader Lee Soo Hyuk.

For some reason, he felt like he hadn't seen him in a while. He looked at his grumbling team leader, who went to his closet to grab his work clothes.

Glancing at the clock, he found that he was indeed late for work. Even though he knew he had to get up, he continued to sit in bed, lost in thought.

'Did I forget something?'

Ever since awakening 'Record,' he rarely forgot. If anything, he remembered things too well.

But now-

'There's something I can't remember.'

He was sure of it.

Hearing approaching footsteps, Kim Rok Soo turned his head to the door as two other people barged into his room.

One had brown hair and dark eyes, a tall athletic body and an overall friendly appearance. He placed a big backpack onto the nearby table as the various objects dangling from the bag clattered against the surface.

"Rok Soo, we thought something had happened and rushed over. Turns out you just slept in, ha!"

The innocent smile on Choi Jung Soo's face caused him to feel a sense of familiarity.

'He looks like...'

His mind drew a blank.

Was there someone he knew that looked like him?

Brushing aside the strange feeling, Kim Rok Soo focused on the last person. He had a unique pair of fox-like eyes and short black hair. Below his right shoulder, the space where an arm should be, was empty as the sleeve of his jacket laid loosely by his side.

'He's alive.'

Kim Rok Soo tilted his head to the side.

'Why wouldn't he be alive?'

He tilted his head to the other side.

'Why did I think he was dead?'

Before he could delve further, Park Jin Tae jabbed a finger in his direction as he placed a hand in front of his nose.

"Hey you bastard, why do you smell so weird?"

"...Smell?"

That was the last thing he was expecting to hear.

"I smell it too. How about you, team leader?"

"Mm, I thought I was the only one."

Kim Rok Soo responded with a frown as he lifted his arm to his nose.

"I showered last night."
