If you look close enough three shadows could be seen standing at the top of the tower facing the Han River.

These three shadows are the figures of Ryeon, Ryung-gu, and Sunny. 

The three members of the Risk Management team watch closely as their next case approached the rails of the bridge peering over into the Han River.

"Why is he moving so slow? Quickly I need to reach home at 11 or Nabi's gonna kill me for missing dinner.", Sunny mumbled to herself while holding her necklace.

"These things take time Sunny. Patience.", Ryung-gu who heard her mumbles replied.

"I have patience. My father not so much. Unfortunately Nabi didn't get much either...well She doesn't have much for me anyways.", Sunny replied eye watching the scene on the bridge.

"Wait who is that?", Sunny asked 

All three lean forward once they saw a young man pull their subject from the rails and throw him to the ground.

The man got right back up and ran to the rails only to be grabbed by the young man who desperately tried to pull him back from the rails.

"Hey!", Ryeon shouted at the young man.

"You there!", Sunny shouted as well.

Both males stopped for a moment at stared at the three figures on top of the building.

"Here we go.", Sunny mumbled before all three of them teleported to the bridge running up to the two males teleporting as they run.

"Move!", Ryeon yelled but before the young man could move she kicked him.

Sunny watched as both males flew through the air before landing harshly on the ground.

"Ouch.", Sunny whinched 

"I told you to get out of the way.", Ryeon casually said.

Sunny walked up to the young man squating down to him.

"Are you okay?", She asked but didn't get a response as Ryung-gu came and stared checking his eyes, moving around his arms and legs ,and streching them out.

This lead to the young man groaning in pain.

"Stop it.", Sunny scolded while slapping his hands away from the young man.

"He's alert, and his bones aren't fractured.", Ryung-gu said causing Sunny to roll her eyes

"Are you a doctor?", the young man asked.

"In his dreams.", Sunny scoffed out receiving a glare from Ryung-gu.

"No. I've been watching medical dramas lately, so I wanted to try out that line. It means you're mostly fine, so get up", Ryung-gu said while standing and shoving his pinkey finger up his nose but putting out the same hand for the young man to take.

Sunny stood as well and crossed her arms across her chest scrunching her face up at the act.

"Are you kidding me? What do you mean, mostly fine?", the young man responded slapping his hand away.

Sunny held out her hand to help him and he quickly took it. Once he was standing Ryung-gu scoffed in disbelief and Sunny smiled at him teasingly.

"Are you insane?", Ryeon said briging their attention back to the main matter at hand.

"Why are you trying to dive into the Han River?", She continued.

"Why are you people doing this? I'm the one who wants to die! I can't even die as I wish! I.. I.. don't have any other option but death!", He yelled from the ground.

"What changes if you die? What does that solve? ", Ryeon asked looking out to the river.

"Atleast I won't be miserable. ", he responded

"Okay.Then jump off as you wish. But.. I can guarantee this. You'll end up in much more pain than now.", Ryeon said.

Sunny then walked over to stand beside Ryeon fiddling with her necklace.

"Do what you want though. But heed her words and take into consideration that death won't change your faith.", Sunny said.

"Who are you? Who are you both to say such things to me?", The man yelled at them.

They both smiled slightly in response.

"Excuse me!", The young man yelled walking over to them

"What is wrong with you people? You should be trying to talk him out of jumping! What are you doing?", he said pointing to the two ladies.

"This has nothing to do with you. Just go.", Ryeon said turning away from him.

"Listen you don't know the situation. We know what we are doing.", Sunny said stepping towards the young man.

He then looked from the suicidal man sitting on the ground back to Sunny.

"How can I not care?", he asked in desperation.

"What are you both doing? Get rid of him.", Ryeon said to them.

Both Ryung-gu and Sunny walked towards the young man.

"We have a plan. So mind your business and go.", Ryung-gu said reach both hands to the young man. However the young man pushed him to the side.

"No, I can't go! You know what?", he said then grabbed Ryeon's wrist revealing the broken red thread tied around her wrist.

"I won't go!!", He yelled at Ryeon.

"Stop it. Just leave it alone.", Sunny said grabbing the hand that was holding Ryeon's wrist pulling it from his grip.

With everyone's attention to the young man no one took noticed of the other male quickly rising to his feet and climbing the rails until he was half way up.

The young man ran to grab the man but it was too late. They both leaned over the rails and...

SPLASH!

Ryeon, Ryung-gu, and Sunny stood with a look of disbelief on their faces.

"And they fell in...Wonderful.", Sunny said placing a hand on her forehead while closing her eyes.

*music*

The sound of music caused Sunny to turn to Ryung-gu who turned off his alarm and looked at Ryeon who stood at the rails of the bridge with her eyes closed in frustration.

"Ma'am?", Ryung-gu asked

"Go. Go home", she said to him

"Both of you, I'll take care of both of them.", she continued as the three off them lean forward over the rails to see the bubbles from where the two people entered the water.

"Take care.". Ryung-gu said looking at Ryeon.

"This isn't my first time diving in.", Ryeon responded looking at him.

"The water must be so cold.", Sunny mumbled to herself as she continues to stare at the dark water below.

" I'll contact the Book of the Deceased Management Team so that the Escort Team can't swoop in.", Ryung-gu said before he bowed and walked off.

"I can help", Sunny declared but Ryeon shook her head in disagrement.

"Go home, Your dad and Nabi must be waiting on your return.", Ryeon said looking at Sunny

"Ok, Well Take care ma'am. I'll see you at work tomorrow.", Sunny said bowing before walking away just before hearing another splash signifying that Ryeon has jumped in the river.
