INTRODUCTION

How great would it be if we could discard the useless feeling of unrequited love like unnecessary documents.

The underground base of the Anti-Government terrorist group Black Swan. An A-class guide in the midst of chasing them, the youngest team leader of the Central Management Headquarters Intelligence Department, a 27-year-old who was running for promotion, Sun Jae-Chan, who had never failed anything other than love, was filled with disappointment.

Blood rose through his throat. The bitter taste filled his mouth. He was blown away by the explosion and rolled around the floor several times. His hearing was already lost. His whole body hurt as if on fire, and the world was frighteningly silent. His eardrums must have bursted. It will be difficult to recover.

While tracking Black Swan with his colleagues, he fell into a trap like an ant's den.

The dust settled slowly over the ragged body. Jae-Chan layed spread out on the floor of the base and stared at the steel ceiling with his bones exposed. Immediately, the flashing light flickered and dimmed until it turned off the push-type light.

— …Team leader…!… Stop... No...!

Before he knew it, his colleagues who ran shouted something. Cough. Blood splattered. A frighteningly still world. Only a hot bloody smell was evident. And the pain shattering through his whole body….

He wished he'd been caught up a little closer to the unexploded bomb. In an instant, he could have left without seeing anything. Beyond the colleagues around him, Sun Jae-Chan gave a lingering look to a person who did not move. Even if he was covered in the explosion's debris, his gaze lingered on his long time unrequited love.

Go Woo-Jin.

Wind attribute S-Class Esper. A person who was once a close friend, a first love, and who was nominated as an imprint partner, but never became his own.

There was only one guide that Go Woo-Jin cherished. It was the guide Nam Hae-Sol, who had been saved by Jae-Chan from the explosion before. Woo-Jin's lover. He swallowed the warm blood while staring at her with stiff eyes, who was thoroughly protected in his (GWJ) strong arms. He made eye contact with Go Woo-Jin again.

<<You've succeeded in so many projects, but why were you an exception?>>

He had done everything that he regretted in order to have Go Woo-Jin. He took advantage of the power of his family that he was so reluctant to use before, became the guide's director's dirty right-hand man, and signed a contract with his stepmother to press Go Woo-Jin.

However, in the end, he failed miserably. Feelings that would have been discarded earlier if it was a project. Because he couldn't let go of it until everything was over, he became like this.

He should have quitted earlier.

An empty laugh broke out.

Nevertheless, he couldn't let go of his gaze towards Go Woo-Jin because he felt the end of his life approaching. After a persistent stare, their eyes finally crossed. Go Woo-Jin's eyes were lifeless, as much as the dust that scattered around.

When he couldn't take his eyes off him, at first glance, he felt emotions in the depths of his black eyes. It was obvious that it would be contempt, so he dropped his eyes and looked away. At some point, as he always did in front of Go Woo-Jin, he felt ashamed.

— Ceiling... surveillance cameras, lenses…

He turned his gaze and repeated the words to his companions. When he was thrown off by the explosion, he found it by chance just before the lights went out completely. He wasn't sure if his eardrums were shattered and his message was properly conveyed. Relying on the ringing of the vocal cords and the fluttering of his lips, he continued to repeat 'ceiling, surveillance camera, lens' as clearly as possible. Even if he died, he hoped that everyone would escape safely.
