"All Over Again"

"Jangjun...", the voice was familiar. I let the tears pool in my eyes as I was now face to face with my older brother, Yujin. He pulled me into a hug as he caressed my head. I let the tears fall. My body shaking from how hard I was crying. 

I was glad he was alive. Why was he hiding anyway ? "형, 여기 계속 있었어요? 왜 이제 와서 연락만 해요?" (You've been here this whole time, hyung ? Why have you only contacted me now ?) I had so many questions as my brother sat a cup tea in front of me. He looked different. Like he hasn't been getting much rest. 

He ignored these questions as he checked up on me, "How are you, Jangjun ? Are you still suffering ? Are you expected to be like those seven that took you back to S.Y.N.D.I.C.A.T.E. ? Does our family know what you've been through at all ?" I sighed as I answered his questions. I could tell he was concerned. However, I am sure of one thing. Jin-Sang hadn't told our family the whole truth whatsoever. 

"What did you need to talk to me about, hyung ? What is so important that you've went back into hiding ?" Yujin slid some photos over to me as he began explaining what we were to be discussing. "우리 조직은 당신의 상사가 군대를 만들고 있다고 믿습니다. 새로운 아이들을 데려가는 새로운 프로그램... 다시 태어난 신들을 강화하는 무언가..." (My organizations believes that your boss is creating an army. A new program that is taking new children... Something the strengthen the reborn gods...)

I scoffed. There was no way this was happening, right ? "Why do you think that then ? Do you have any proof of this ?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. My brother slide more photos in front of me, "Syn.D CEO has been meeting with several families. It is highly likely he is building an army with how many families he's spoken to in the last week..."

This brought my mind back to what I previously spoke with Jin-Sang about. "Did he give our family money when you initially left, hyung ? Do you think he paid them to keep me on as an operative ?" Yujin looked as if he didn't want to admit this, but could see that I needed some convincing. "I am sure he did, Jangjun. That is why I need you to be my eyes there. You need to act like you can be trusted. I need you to find out if he really is building an army..."

I gulped. The last time I did this I was put in a cryogenic chamber. "What if it ends up like last time, hyung ?" Yujin smiled as he looked me in the eyes. He seemed so sure, "저번처럼 되지는 않을 거야, 동생. 넌 저번보다 훨씬 똑똑하잖아. 약속만 해줘..." (It won't be like last time, little brother. You are much smarter than you were last time. Just promise you'll do this for me...) What else could I say to this ? I ultimately agreed in the end. 

I hugged my older brother one last time before making my way back to S.Y.N.D.I.C.A.T.E headquarters. I needed to keep calm if this was to work & I needed to make it seem I could be trusted with any new information.

Upon reaching HQ once again I stood against the wall as I heard Jin-Sang speaking with Lady Nam. "Everything just started, sir. The gods are adjusting well. Even without Jangjun' contribution." The Ahjussi chuckled slightly, but there was no playfulness to it. It sounded dark & devoid. This completely counteracted Lady Nam' fearful tone with a bit of a confidence to her.

This was the last thing I heard before the conversation just seemed to drag on suspiciously, "모든 것이 예정대로 되어 있는지 확인하세요, 남여사님. 전 딸꾹질은 안 해요. 모든 것이 완벽해야 해요. 알겠어요?" (Just make sure everything is on schedule, Lady Nam. I don't any hiccups. Everything must absolutely perfect. Understood ?)
