As Jun-woong tried is hardest to prevent Jae-soo's father from killing himself in the past. Ryeon's phone starts to ring indicating she had a call.

She fished her phone from her pocket answering without looking on the ID.

"Ma'am, Mr. Namgung is in danger. We can't talk him out of it. When will you be back?", Ryung-gu asked while both him and Jae walked side by side, behind Jae-soo with concerned expressions.

"It's bad here too. Hold on just a bit more.", Ryeon responded continuing to watch the scene in front of her of Jun-woong pushing Jae-soo's father back as the latter pleaded to let Jun-woong allow him to die.

"Okay.", Ryung-gu said with an agitated look on his face, closing the phone before briefly glancing at Sunny who looked at him sharing the look of agitation.

Both reapers gritted their teeth as they continued walking behind Jae-soo as he trugged on in silence.

After a few moments of walking Jae-soo came to a stop infront of a tailor store prompting both reapers to stop and look at him.

"How nice. He wants to get a nice suit. I mean if you're going out might as well go out in style.", Jae muttered to herself but Ryung-gu heard and turned to her with a look of disbelief earning a shrug from Sunny.

"Go home now.", Ryung-gu said to Jae-soo successfully ignoring Sunny's comment.

"Tomorrow will be no different from today, so will it be any different a year from now? I feel like I'm trapped in a never - ending forest of time.", Jae-soo said

"Don't think like that.", Ryung-gu said.

"I guess I never had any happy memories. Just like me, my father...", Jae-soo trailed off.

Ryung-gu scoff and took out his phone that was receiving a call. Turning away to answer as Sunny did the same to listen.

"Ma'am.", Ryung-gu answered.

"How is he?", Ryeon asked with urgency in her voice.

"His numbers on the Red Light won't go down.", Ryung-gu responded.

"Keep a close eye on him. We'll find a way no matter what.", Ryeon said causing Sunny to groan in frustration before glancing back at Jae-soo.

"When will you be back?", Ryung-gu asked but before he could get a response Jae-soo dashed off in the other direction.

Sunny quick to follow, only hearing a quick 'I'll call you back later' from Ryung-gu before he too joined the chase.

"Mr.Namgung!", Ryung-gu yelled out to the man.

"Aishh seriously! Just knock him out! ", Jae yelled out in annoyance.
