3rd Person POV
Hye Jin, following behind Rang who was walking behind Yeon, searched through the rows of seats on a train. They looked for their seats and finally found them, situated in the middle of the train car, right next to the window.
Before Yeon could sit right by the window, Hye Jin pushed Rang and Yeon out of her way and sat down. She crossed her legs over one another and settled onto the seat that Yeon had intended to sit on.
Rang and Yeon both gave her a look and squeezed in beside her. There wasn't much space on the other seat as it was occupied by two women, one younger and the other an elder. Hye Jin had to shuffle over a little bit, as Rang and Yeon were pushing into her space.
Rang glared at the elder woman, who was looking at him with a smile. "What are you looking at?" he said, his voice filled with annoyance.
"Hey, didn't you learn any manners?" Yeon scolded his brother, asking him if he learned any manners.
Rang rolled his eyes, showing his annoyance at his sibling. He felt like he was always butting into his business and trying to micromanage him. He hated it. Especially when he suddenly decided to enter his life out of nowhere after years.
Hye Jin tuned herself out from the surroundings and entered her head space. Her thoughts were swelling in her mind, filled with different things. She was stuck in her thoughts, unable to focus on anything else.
She was so engrossed in her thinking that she wasn't even paying attention to what was around her. This was exactly where she wanted to be, in her head at least for a while.

Taluipa said, "They left an hour ago." She did not even need to lift her head to know who stood in front.
"Are you serious?" Rang said, breathing deeply. "Why am I even doing this?" he asked himself in an aggravated manner.
"You should have left the moment you got." Taluipa said flatly as she kept writing in her ledger, showing no emotion to Rang's concern at the moment.
Rang sighed for what seemed like the hundredth time since he came to the past, his tone filled with frustration and annoyance.
"Where did they go?" he asked, desperate for answers.
Taluipa did not move an inch, she had not even looked up from what she was doing. Instead, she spoke flatly once again, showing no emotion towards Rang once again.
"They are on a train, on their way to Joseon." she finally answered.
Hearing about the whereabouts, Rang turned around and left without saying anything else. He was already done with trying to find clues about where his brother and the woman were. He just wanted to go back but that also isn't possible. Nothing was going accordingly and that irritated Rang to no end.
Little does he know, shit is about to go downhill and some things aren't going to be going according to his wishes or any ones.

Rang said, "So the Legendary Pipe fell into the hands of the Japanese?"
Yeon replied, "The old hag even had the item sealed."
Rang responded back with, "And they managed to break the seal?" Rang's tone was one filled with surprise.
He could not believe that someone managed to break such a well-hidden seal just to steal such an ancient item.
Rang said, "That could only mean that the thief wasn't human."
There was a general aura of suspicion among them now.
"If the pipe is played well enough, it can blow up an entire mountain." Yeon said.
This revealed the possible aftermath of what could happen if the legendary pipe was misused, and fell into the wrong hands. It was a terrifying prospect.
Rang's eyes fell on Hye Jin as he looked at Yeon. Hye Jin's head was on the window sill, bouncing up and down whenever the train rocked.
Rang asked Yeon with curiosity and a little bit of worry in his voice. "Is that woman okay? All she has done is fall asleep every time she is idle.
Yeon shrugged and replied, "Don't know." He too looked at her sleeping figure, and he was puzzled as to what made her fall asleep like that.

AUTHORS NOTE!
Hello everyone! How are you all? Hope you all are sanitizing and wearing masks. I didn't think the time would come back but here we are.
I am having symptoms and I suspect it's covid. Due to me having cold and fever I won't be able to write any chapters until it goes away. I'm sorry for the pause of this book.
This is the reason I hurried to write this chapter and the previous one so you will have two chapters to read.
I'll be back after a week! Take care till then everyone!
