--------------------------------------

Park Ji Hyuk stepped back to take a breath after he, Yoo Hee Young, and Jung So Hoon finally made sure no other guests were inside the club. They did not know whether to be angry at how the people in charge of this place ran even faster than the others or relieved that at least they would not interfere with their task. All eyes focused on quiet gate number 3, three more people had not shown up.

Not long ago, Joo Yerim told them to get out of the place before it was too late. No other explanation. She did not answer anything else.

Yoo Hee Young crossed her arms, decided:

- Assistant Leader has not given another order.

Which meant she would be here for a couple of minutes more.

- Then I will meet the group outside first.

Jung So Hoon nodded and left.

Park Ji Hyuk would not want to risk moving further in case he could not hear the other three.

Rustle

The rustling of the sleeves showed the restlessness of the young man, who seemed to have things to say but did not want to disturb the team members' work.

- Thank you, you helped us too.

Jang Sejong looked up at the sudden gratitude. He did not do that much...

Park Ji Hyuk did not consider himself someone who was good at guessing other people's thoughts, yet he might understand this kid partly since he saw his old self through him:

- There is no useless ability, just the power that has not been fully exploited in the right conditions.

Jang Sejong was startled as if Park Ji Hyuk had just read his thoughts. The younger's reaction made Park Ji Hyuk suddenly understand their Team Leader's feelings in the same situation. He brushed his head awkwardly at Jang Sejong's sparkling eyes:

- Um well, that's what Team Leader-nim has always reminded us. Our abilities seem to have nothing in common, but that's also why we make our work more effective.

- Of course, after many missions to actually get what the other members mean too.

Yoo Hee Young stopped walking around and added in with a smile. They had different thoughts and arguments sometimes, but everything was solved at the end with... cough cough , an all-day hand-holding requirement from Leader.

The more Jang Sejong watched them, the more determination built in him.

The sound he had been waiting for gradually came closer, and Jang Sejong did not hide his relief:

- They are back!

At the same time, Kim Rok Soo gave his order:

- All of you, make sure your presence is out of this block. Now.

Team 1 members had gathered together, and the heavy atmosphere covered the place. The tremor started right after they got out of the club. Though not all of the members understood what was going on, yet, the stoic expression from the leader made them know it was not over. Unlike the scamming smile he used to have before, they realized that with the brightly smiling Team Leader these days, if his smile was off, it meant who or whatever stood behind was done.
