Lee Hyun-woo just climb the wall faster not like last timer hat he still slow, he even land on the grass perfectly but when he look at his room window he notice that the window is close.

"Wha.." said Lee Hyun-woo wondering what all those climb for.

In the end Lee Hyun-woo still climb the house wall, to his window room and try to open it while hanging outside.

"Come on..got it!" Lee Hyun-woo got inside and stretching his finger that's been holding his body for a moment.

Lee Hyun-woo then changing his clothes and look at his body in the mirror for a second.

*I don't have much time.* Lee Hyun-woo thought, while put on his clothes and getting ready to leave.

"Wait..that means i have to climb down again?" said Lee Hyun-woo, while looking at his window that open.

"Nah." Lee Hyun-woo dint believe and start walking down stairs, to put the clothes into washing machine.

On the way down, Lee Hyun-woo look at the table on dinning room and his guess is right.

"I knew it."said Lee Hyun-woo as he grab the new key.

'Lee Hyun-woo feed Vio and the puppy with dogfood, before leaving the house.'

As Lee Hyun-woo leaving there is someone watching from far away using dark hoddie, and the scene suddenly become smaller, turn out the unknown being also watching him.

The janitor is arleady at the park stretching his body for a second.

"You late." said the janitor to Lee Hyun-woo who just arrived.

The janitor face change admit that he's wrong, before turn around and start walking.

"Follow me." said the janitor, as Lee Hyun-woo follow from behind.

"Where are we going?" Lee Hyun-woo ask him, as they go deep inside the woods.

They go deeper inside the woods and end up near the lake, where Lee Hyun-woo can see the bridge from there.

"Come." the janitor told him to get close to him that standing next to the tree.

"There is no camera around here, maybe some people passing by and you can go behind if don't want get people attention." said the janitor, while stretching his hand.

"Now, watch and i want you to do the same like what i did." said the janitor as he push Lee Hyun-woo back a little.

'The janitor then start throwing punch so fast that he damage the tree.'

"So, yeah. Basically you gonna throw punch as hard and fast as you can, you can do kick to." said the janitor as he slowly walking away.

"If you arleady feel enough just punch a air, make your speed faster...try to relax and make your own technique." said the janitor as he leaving Lee Hyun-woo behind.

*Really...not even gonna help with something?* Lee Hyun-woo thought watching the janitor walking away.

Lee Hyun-woo then start hitting the tree, for a long time no stop.

'Someone open Lee Hyun-woo house door'

He start walking inside slowly dint make any noise.

"That isnt nice you know, to break inside someone's house." said Park Ji-nam, while turn on the light.

Turns out it's the guy that watching Lee Hyun-woo from far away, he use mask so no one recognized him.

Park Ji-nam standing next to the light switch with Vio that ready to attack him, everything just went silent.

'The mask man try to grab something in his pocket, but got canceled by Park Ji-nam that just throw her knife.'

The mask man manage to dodge it, but Park Ji-nam charge foward and hit him, pushing him back hitting the dinning table.

"Is that all?" Park Ji-nam ask while keep charging foward.

As Park Ji-nam throw a punch directly at his face, he dodge it and stab Park Ji-nam left hand.

The mask guy is about to stab her head but got canceled by Vio that jump and bite his arm, he somehow dint scream or anything and stab Vio at the neck.

Knowing there is a chance Park Ji-nam, rush straight punch his face and stab his stomach many times. The man fight back and manage to hit her leg really hard that she fell, he kick her face and throw the knife right into her stomach.

Knowing that his position is no good, the man start leaving while holding his stomach that bleeding.

Park Ji-nam crawling and sit straight on the wall.

"Arghh.." Park Ji-nam holding her stomach that bleeding a lot.

Park Ji-nam also holding Vio dead body, and put her head down slowly on her thigh.

"Im..so sorry little one." said Park Ji-nam petting Vio head with her right hand.

Park Ji-nam face look pale, a blood is arleady coming out from her mouth. She try to grab her phone in the pocket, her hand trembling so bad.

*I have to tell him..*said Park Ji-nam while open the group chat.

'I'll leave the rest to you guys, please.' Park Ji-nam said on the group, before she start open Lee Hyun-woo chat.

Park Ji-nam then start typing for a long text, and tears began to flow down from her eyes.
