Day 17: Feathers

There was something off about Jaeryeong Lee, but Gijoo couldn't figure it out. Jaeryeong absolutely despised his back being touch. He snapped at his Action Squad members whenever they patted his back. Jaeryeong showed no signs of pain and could do all his tasks just fine, so it wasn't like he was hiding an injury.

Gijoo knew it wasn't any of his business. Whatever Jaeryeong was hiding didn't affect his work. But Gijoo was very curious.

Everyone found out Jaeryeong's secret during an epic rooftop fight scene against an enemy gang.

Jaeryeong had been backed to the edge by his opponent and ended up slipping, much to everyone's horror. The fighting immediately stopped due to the thought of potentially having murdered someone instead of just beating them up.

But to everyone's shock, wings of crimson red feathers sprouted from Jaeryeong's back and he flew back up to the roof. Jaeryeong was pissed and charged at his attacker, beating him to a pulp.

Once he had calmed down a bit, he finally noticed all the people staring at him. His eyes widened when he realized that his wings were out in the open, visible to everyone.

"Jaeryeong," Gijoo gently called his name. 

But Jaeryeong stood up and leapt off the roof, soaring away. He couldn't stay in Mapo anymore. They knew that he wasn't human so they'll turn him in to the government. The government will run horrible and painful tests on him and he'll forever be a prisoner. 

Maybe he'd have to leave Seoul entirely, possibly even South Korea. He had to get as far away from there as possible.

It was a painful decision. He had considered the Action Squad and Gijoo to be his family, but now he had to leave them behind.
