Flow: Afterstory

Trio

Irang had been waiting in front of the school until Ryun had walked by him

"Hey, you needed me?" Ryun said as he stopped next to him

"Yeah, follow me" Irang then walked to the back of the school with Ryun following him

"What's going on?" Ryun thought to himself in his head

"what is he-" he then panicked "wait a sec, I've seen this in anime! Underneath the cherry bliss tree at the back of the school, one on one talk with a childhood friend, his refusal to look back at me! Is he gonna confess?!?!?"

He was then at a state of panic and worry "oh gawd what if he is! I have no prob with gay people, but I can't do that I have Yulbi!"

Irang then stopped
"Ryun..."

Ryun then stood up right at fear of what his childhood friend would say

"Y-yeah?"

"What do you know about my animal god" Irang then turned around with a serious facial expression

Ryun shook out of it relived that it wasn't what he thought it was
"That is a cat right, and that you haven't hade you're wish yet"

Irang then smiled "heh... I need your help with something, but I'll need to show you this first"

Irang then summoned his white tiger god behind him. Ryun's face was then caught in disbelief as he saw that his childhood friend was the white tiger gods child

"Y-you're the white tiger?!?!" Ryun exclaimed

"Yeah," Irang then deactivated his animal "and I need your help"

He then proceeded to tell Ryun everything, the past, the wish, the future, the mission, all with the exception of Ryun's death

"That's... a lot to take in... what about me what happens to me?!?" Ryun asked with worry

"I-" Irang paused "you escape, helping me go back in time in the process"

"... ok" Ryun responded "what now, you said you needed 3 out of the 4 Korean gods. Where will we get a third one?"

Irang looked away "the black turtle, the new one. We'll find he or she and have the god help us"

Ryun then looked confused "but wouldn't they just be a baby, we don't even know if the god would respond correctly"

Irang then was in a look of deep thought "I don't know what we can do..." Irang then raised his fist in a friendly gesture "what I do know is that we have to try"

Ryun looked at his friend in surprise, he hadn't realized it until now. In all that time in the future, what did he have to go through, what did he see, what was he forced to do. Ryun then shakes these questions off and raises his fist as well

"Of course, old friend" Ryun responded

———————————————————

The next day Irang met up with Ryun to arrive near a train station

"Yo" Irang greeted friend "you ready to head out"

"Yeah" Ryun responded

As they left walking down the steps to the train, as hooded figure is shown behind them following near

When the train arrives the two get in it and sit next to each other next to the door to another cart, Irang then sees a figure at the corner of his eye enter the cart next to them

Irang ignores it and speaks "Ryun..." he says gaining the attention from his friend "all my other missions in the past, no rather in the future. They weren't easy, you could very well..."

Ryun then smiles "not make it?"

Irang then widens his eyes "y-yeah" he says hesitantly

"Don't worry man, y'know I can't go down that easily. I'll be with you the entire time, I won't lose you again."

Irang makes a face of relief "thank you, Ryun" he then looks at the cart next to them "guess that makes 2 of you"

Irang then walks to the door to the other cart whilst Ryun is put in a state of confusion

Irang then looks at the seat to the right, right next to the door to his cart. There he sees Harin, cheeks bright red with her hands up.

She stands straight up in surprise
"AGAJDJKEBSNGQJAKQLDBZKWU HEYYYYYY IRRRAAAANNNNGGGGGGG,
F-FANCY MEETING YOU HERE BUUUUDDDDDDDYYYYYYY"
she says while trying to lean on a bus pole, but ends up sliding off and almost falling.

"Buddy?" Irang questions "what are you doing here Harin?"

Harin turns a brighter red as the question is asked "WELL I WASNT FOLLOWING YOU GUYS IF THATS WHAT YOUR THINKING, IM NOT CURIOUS ABOUT THIS AT ALL!!!!"

Irang then grinned at smug grin "y'know Harin" he then proceeds to get closer to her and put his and on her chin "If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're in love with me"

Harin then SOMEHOW turned even redder "GAJNDGAKKDNMSOAKVBNSPQPFUHBLHQB Y-YOU IDIOT OF COURSE I AM..." Harin had not yet realized the mistake she make, instead she looked at Irang who had a slight blush and his mouth half way open, with Ryun at the door with the same expression

She then realized the grammatical error she made "N-NOT,  I MEANT OF COURSE I AM NOT, D-DONT LOOK INTO IT LIKE THAT IT WAS JUST A VERBAL ERROR" she says helplessly defending herself

"I-it's okay" Irang says with his hand in his face trying to hide his blush while Ryun is in the back trying to hide his laughter

Irang then noticed something "Harin, where's the hood? The one following us in the hood was you right?"

Harin then seemed confused at the question "no I wasn't wearing a hood, I just followed you as I am now"

Irang then put his finger to his chin "if you weren't the one in the hood following us... then who was?"

Meanwhile on the other side of the train, the hooded figure sits down and pulls out a "to do list" to which she crosses out "find them"

The hooded figure then speaks to itself
"Got em"

(Sorry this took so long, I rly am 😖)
