"I already told you four no"
The four of them sat around the table, heads slightly bowed like scolded children with Mr Oh seated before them, eyes disappointed behind his wide rimmed glasses.
He had been adamant of them never returning to Seoul, to leave their vendetta and the dead at rest. But they couldn't do that, not while Myeong-gil still paraded around the city, gloating and scheming as if he won. Nari and the rest would not allow the deaths of the others to be in vain. The dead would not rest until they brought Kim Myeong-gil's empire to the ground. Mr Oh didn't understand that, but they also didn't understand that Mr Oh did not want to have to bury any of them next.
" If you go back there, you'll die" he said, his tone soft yet stern.
"We understand why you'd be worried for us Mr Oh" Woo-jin sympathisd. "But we need to do this"
"Why won't you listen" Mr Oh complained, his face twisting into exhaustion and Nari could see the toll the whole situation had taken on the man. He was trying to keep them alive, like Mr Choi had wanted and without Mr Choi, he had to do it alone and the group had not been making it easy. " To be rebellious?"
''Mr Oh, if I may" Geon-woo interjected, his voice firm and ready. " Let me tell you what I think. What we think. " he said, glancing at his friends. " After all we've experienced, I believe we can fight Kim Myeong-gil and win. " The others nodded along eagerly.
"Mr Oh, I know you're worried for us but you've seen us. How hard we've been training. Geon-woo's right. We can do it this time" Nari said, her tone almost pleading.
Mr Oh glanced at the four of them, a deep sigh left his lips against his bowed head. The grief of all they had lost was evident on his face and in his tone as he said, more specifically to Nari when the words came out pained and raw. " Yang-jung and Du-yeong are dead. How can you win?"
