The Next Day

-

"What??"

"What are you saying Renjun??"

I met up with Mark and Jeno alone in one of the halls in the HDJ, only because I had something serious to discuss with them before our scheduled meeting.

"I'm saying that if anything happens to me again any time soon, I want you both to be our teams' captains"

"Why are you telling us this Renjun?"

"I'm with Mark-hyung on this one. What changed in a span of a day for you to bring this matter to us so suddenly?"

"...I just..want to be sure that everyone's safety is ensured if anything happens. Nothing more"

"But-"

"There you are! We've been looking for the three of you dad! Wait. What's going on?"

Xinrei came to find us, but noticed the serious looks on our faces.

"Nothing at all Rei. Just wondering who the guy were meeting is since we haven't seen his face yet. But what's up Chief?"

"It's about him actually. He actually just arrived, so we should head back to the conference room"

Xinrei informed us before running off.

"Jeno, Mark-hyung. Don't mention a word of this to the others, especially not the kids. Not yet..."

"...Right"

"...We won't"

Conference Room

-

The four of us met up with the others in our designated conference room after a few minutes, but it wasn't just the Fighting Dreamers in the room.

Upon our guest's request, all of the Fighting Dreamers, Gang Stars, and Paramounts were scheduled to meet up together. However, the members of Force 127 and Doni were close by in another room just in case.

After Mark, Jeno, and I arrived, I sat at one end of the table with everyone else standing either beside or behind me, and our guest sat at the opposite end of the table.

"...I'm so happy that all of you could make it, especially you Huang Renjun"

After greeting all of us, and me specifically, our guest finally removed his hood and raised up his head to reveal a very familiar face.
