"Optimism, courage &
kindness"

THEA LET OUT a long sigh, unsure if she was disappointed that Jeok-bong had decided to leave or relieved that they wouldn't have to continue their little games anymore. Either way, he was a member too and they couldn't just let him go like that, she understood that he felt guilty for not being able to help much or perhaps because those evil spirits had terrified him enough to drive him away.

Regardless of the cause, Thea and the rest of the group were resolute in their determination to bring Jeok-bong back, even if it required accomplishing the seemingly impossible. They couldn't simply allow him to slip back into a coma, as it could undoubtedly result in his death.

"Powerless as a judge of right and wrong"?" Mo-tak asked as Mun read the letter that Jeok-bong had left before disappearing without any notice

And to be honest Thea was not really surprised because she had anticipated this to happen.

"He thinks he's not fit for the job" Thea responded, rephrasing Jeok-bong's fancy words into a more understandable form. He possessed a distinct manner of articulating words

"I knew that" Mo-tak added, nodding his head as if he had understood what the letter said from the beginning, when in reality it was the complete opposite

"Is he saying he's scared to fight the evil spirits?" Mun questioned, as he examined the letter he held in his hand with a sorrowful expression. He had the perception that he had not put in sufficient effort to gain Jeok-bong's trust regarding his difficulties

"He's just terrified. Gosh, what a shame. I can't believe how formal he is even in this situation" Mo-tak exclaimed with surprise, shaking his head disapprovingly

Jeok-bong was truly one of a kind, and it was undeniable that he possessed a genuinely innocent spirit.

"I understand his fear. I was also like him at first" Ms. Chu explained, her facial expressions displaying concern "If we want to catch the evil spirits who can see the territory, we must bring Jeok-bong back at all costs. Understand?"

"We'll drag him back if he refuses" Hana exclaimed with a serious expression, fully determined to drag him if that was feasible

"What? He left a postscript" Mun commented with his eyes wide open, he moved the paper nearer to his eyes so that he could read the tiny print"Please return the pore strips for me"

Thea, Ms. Chu, and Mo-tak sighed in frustration from their seats at the back, all three leaning back in disappointment simultaneously. Thea folded her arms across her chest, occasionally Jeok-bong had a tendency to be overly stubborn about his possessions.

"That little punk. Even his beloved pore strips. He must be that determined to quit" Mo-tak exclaimed with a frown, disapproving of the fact that Jeok-bong cared more about his pore strips than anything else
