After everything that happened that night, DooSan was really nervous. His nervousness was related to the fact he knew that the eyes of his enemies were focused on him, eagerly waiting for him to take a wrong step and be able to get rid of him in one way or another. More than that, everybody seemed to keep an eye on him because of SolHi, whom they were sure would try to contact DooSan and catch her this way.

This didn't happen though, something that bothered DooSan more than it calmed him down. The reason? He didn't know if she was fine, if she managed to escape after giving that phone call, or where she had headed. Even so, he tried to calm himself down by telling himself that it would have been better for him not to know about her plan. Thus, because of stupidity or by mistake, he wouldn't have told anybody about this and endangered her because he was sure that her enemies were lurking on them, waiting to get rid of her at any cost.

Actually, DooSan thought about all this while he'd been behind bars that night. Then, he thought about this all the way until he got to SoRan's house and the hour after that when they waited to see what DuSik and his people would do next. Safety that they finally had around five o'clock in the morning when they saw San DuSik talking by phone with someone and, five minutes later, SWAT cars left the area.

„Something that seems strange to me," said IuNa, frowning. „That they left so fast. I thought they'd keep an eye on us until they catch the two fugitives."

DooSan nervously moved, still staring through the window. „I also thought about this. Yet, it seems that they have another plan if he hits the pike eventually."

Unlike them, who seemed confused and nervous, SoRan was damn calm. She even smiled when she said, „His problem." Thus, she managed to make DooSan attentive, who squinted at her.

„What are you planning?" He asked.

„I? Nothing! I was just... calling the things by their real name," replied SoRan calmly. Then, struggling a little with her wheelchair, she managed to turn it toward the stairs where she headed eventually. While heading over there, she felt DooSan's glance focused on her because he was sure that she was planning something. At least her behavior gave him this feeling. And, sure that DooSan wasn't convinced why she was doing all that, SoRan stopped and, looking past her shoulder, she told him, „Follow me! I mean, if you want to find out the reason why I'm so sure that San DuSik's plan will fail eventually, you'll follow me!"

The safety felt in SoRan's voice made DooSan really attentive. He even took a few steps toward her, intending to grab the handles of the wheelchair and, stopping her, to make her tell him what she knew. DooSan didn't do that eventually because of IuNa, who pointed with her head toward SoRan, spurring him to follow her. After that, seeing DooSan sighing, she followed SoRan first while DooSan walked behind them.

Until they got to one of the rooms, which were farthest from the living room, none of them said a word. They even seemed stubborn to keep that silent, something that outlined the nervousness felt in DooSan's chest more. Why exactly? Because he suddenly started thinking that the two women were hiding something from him and he was the only one surrounded by darkness and anxiety.

Thinking about all this, DooSan wasn't at all wrong. Why? Glancing at IuNa several times, he'd seen her damn calm when he thought that she'd be nervous and fearful once she was back in the country. Yet, nothing betrayed IuNa or showed him that she was afraid for her life, although she should have feared, once she'd been forced to escape from Korea years ago to save her life. Instead of nervousness, DooSan saw the determination in her eyes, just as he felt courage in her heart. „The courage to make herself justice with her hands," he thought eventually.

This thought made DooSan nervous. He even wanted to ask IuNa about this, but he didn't dare do that eventually. He didn't ask because he finally realized that this might have reopened a wound that maybe was still bleeding in IuNa's heart. At the same time, he kept silent also because he saw that SoRan stopped in front of a closed door and waited for them to catch up with her. Then, she looked at DooSan's face, who seemed even more confused than before. And, smiling, SoRan told him, „We are finally facing the truth."
