"Hop on."

"AHHH," Zoe shrieked at the strange man and grabbed YN's arm. "Oh but he's kinda..."

A tall slender man dressed in a snowy white ensemble skidded up on a cool black and silver motorbike. He had on a white helmet but YN recognized the pink hair peeking out through the visor.

DG revved the engine. "Hurry."

Zoe all but threw her onto the bike. "GOGOGO this is so Lana del Rey. I'll let people know about the hot guy you rode off with if you get kidnapped." She ran off giggling. It was super late and the sun was setting–YN had just been helping Zoe film a school vlog for her channel. The school was deserted now.

Who was YN to disobey? She climbed behind DG, which was difficult in her short school uniform skirt, and clung tightly to his annoyingly snatched waist. DG slid the helmet off his head and put it on hers without a word, pulling white goggles out of his pocket to put on as a replacement—which YN didn't think was too safe..

"What's this about?" she tried to ask but DG revved the engine again and shot off and she grabbed on harder ignoring the distracting press of his abs against her forearms.

It had been over a week since Jiho's visit, a month of Eugene's instructions to live normally, and a month till Gun was going to take her to Japan.

She had tried very hard to ignore everyone she had pushed away, but the whole classroom was abuzz when the news of Jiho's accident was reported. Apparently the correctional officer had driven into a truck, but she was certain something else was afoot, confirmed when she overheard that it was a planned crime and they lost Jiho in Gangbuk.

Obviously, and she tried to excuse herself, it was reasonable that Gangbuk was like an activation code for her sleeper agent self, filling her with trepidation for Johan.

Is he oka—she yanked her thoughts away from Johan, because she was mad at him too, but goddamn he took on an angelic appearance in her memories.

It was impossible to ignore Daniel's sidelong worried glance. It was impossible to avoid the flicker of instruction in the back of her mind: go talk to Jake. (81. Nosy)

And it was certainly impossible to ignore when Eli had come in, not even looking in her direction, to deliver news that Derek and Max were attacked, there was a new crew in Gangbuk called 'James Lee' that was recruiting runaway fams.

And it was difficult not to pay attention to Daniel and Zack realizing that Jiho had created 'James Lee,' using the name of somebody from a previous generation.

She was smart you know, obviously her mind made the connection back to that brute Mr. Carpenter—which Eli mentioned, so obviously she would think about it—she couldn't help it. What had Tom Lee said? (ch. 71. Little Lady)

"Little lady has a lot to learn! You should know about the world that created yours. The First Generation was the generation of circles–crews, endless bloody fighting to take over territory. The Zero Generation was the generation of the fist, filled with ideology and grand wars. We were the true fighters, none of your baby-faced soft-skinned men." He rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Maybe that's why the ladies are fighting now too."
