"The sudden discovery had earned quite a number of gasps from the public. Their heart trembled at the sight of a giant whirlpool of sand that had arisen from the vast desert that is not far away from the city of Cairo. The whirlpool continued to enlarge itself by sucking in more and more sand from the vast barrenness of the desert, soon its size expanded up to the sky, tinting the entire sky with an orange hue." The news channel droned on.

"The public felt an impending sense of doom that'd perish them all. The helpless public felt totally powerless against such calamity that'd destroy them nonetheless!" A woman's voice cackled through the speaker of the television who gasped for breath to control her hyped up nerves.
"True! They had probably readied their heart to be swept away from their dear ones as the huge whirlpool of sand that had advanced towards the city like a cruel monster! However, several minutes crossed but nothing of such fear happened!"

"That's right Jerry. As per one of the witnesses they had were utterly bewildered by the sight of absolute normalcy when the expected calamity did not take place! The night sky was totally clear with stars winking mischievously at the confused mob and at the next moment the electricity was restored."
"Exactly! As if somebody had played a horrible joke on them!"

"Now, one must be wondering what had just happened? What the public saw, was it simply an illusion?...did they dream the same dream?...or was it some kind of premonition of a future destruction that might mess up the balance of nature?" Spoke the news host in a detective style.

"Nobody had any answer for that. They wondered but none could cook up any conclusion or theory about it!" Shrugged the fellow news host. "Well, People'll talk, the topic would trend in social medias for a while and then the topic would die down after it'd lose its momentum."

This earned an uncomfortable laugh from the other news host as she tried to manage the situation by announcing for a commercial break;
"We'll get back to you folks with our representative directly reporting us from the city of Cairo!" An advertisement of detergent started playing on the screen right after that.

A sigh escaped from the lips of the person who was lying down on the sofa of his giant living room as he let the television  remote flop down beside him. The uncanny incident that happened with him in Egypt is still haunting him. All he remembers was being kidnapped by Irjura Kim and his limbs were tied while the villainess continued her assault on him.

Then...then some voices spoke up within his mind and then he remembers nothing. Nothing absolutely. Stark darkness. He has the memory when he had opened his eyes at an unfamiliar ceiling, only to startle awake, almost scaring Raven who rushed out of the room yelling for the doctor. For a short guy, he sure had a loud voice. He had flinched as he felt pain at his hand. The IV syringe had been misplaced  due to his his sudden movements that caused bleeding.

After that, there were several tests, questions of the doctors, hundreds...no maybe thousands of checkups, by the time he was done, it was already dusk.  He found some Police Officers loitering in front of his room. They wanted to ask him some questions regarding his abrupt kidnapping, to which Mrs.Lee earnestly requested them to come back the next day as Seth needed rest as prescribed by the doctor. The officers had went away for that day but they came back the next day for the proper procedures.

The interrogation of Park Ryujin carried on for quite a long time than it was expected. If it weren't for Mrs. Lee's and an annoyed doctor's interruption, the interrogation would've dragged longer.
Seth had replied truthfully of whatever he could remember.

The officers informed Seth that Irjura Kim was caught red handed by the bodyguards that had accompanied him and then she was handed over to the police. Later on, he heard from Mrs. Lee that Mr. Ash Kim had made several requests to pardon his daughter but Madam CEO remained passive about it and did not heed to any of his requests initially but later on proposed a huge compensation for trying to damage one of the company's property and finally allowed S4We to take a vacation for the first time ever since they debuted, their latest music video would be released as per the schedule, their sudden hiatus won't affect their latest music video release. Since all four of them are from different nationalities, so all of them have returned to their home-Ken has returned to Canada while Brian has returned to Moscow, Raven has returned to Osaka while Seth came back to his own neighborhood in South Korea.

It's almost time for lunch so Ryujin decided to take a quick bath before he heats up the lunch stored in the refrigerator that Reijin had made for him. After the bath when he was drying his hair in front of the mirror, he noticed something strange. It hadn't occurred to him initially but now that he noticed, he couldn't seem to try to ignore it. Previously when he dyed his hair, he'd leave the dye on its own to fade, but it has been almost more than a month and the hair color looked as good as new! 

It seemed as if it was yesterday that he dyed his hair with this bright shade of red!
