hey there, alligator [1]

ABANDONING CHANGKYUN'S sleeping figure behind, Jooheon wears his militia uniform and seizes the bag he was preparing before for his journey. He knows the two outcomes that might occur— he'll either arrive safely and not worry Changkyun. Or he'll die trying to figure out his true self and Changkyun will be drowned in sorrow.

Either way, I have to do this. I hate having to live on without knowing what or who I was. Especially if I worked for the Military.

Jooheon takes one last glance at Changkyun. Last night was a wild ride for the both of them. They confessed to each other and shared a couple of drinks. Changkyun might have of been a minor, but when you live in a corrupted world like theirs, it doesn't matters. You only live once. That's their motto.

Jooheon walks up to Changkyun and plants down a gentle peck in his forehead. He draws away and takes one more minute to admire Changkyun's countenance. He's obviously tired. It'll be bad to wake him up and inform him of where Jooheon's traveling to.

Jooheon hangs his bag over his back and escapes the chamber, descending down the stairs and heading to the entrance. He unlocks the door, steadily and quietly attempting to not wake up the others, and makes it out of the house. He takes in a deep breath apprehending the trouble path he's about to face.

I'm ready.

Jooheon nears the facility of the homes of the soldiers who remain under the governments control. He discerns it won't be difficult to avoid security due to him being relevant in the area to the others, but he retains attempting to avoid any important official he might come across. He enters the luxurious structure with no trouble and proceeds to march down the hallway. Only a few militias occupy the empty space, but they were too busy hogging their faces on their cellular devices. Walking past a soldier that has his earbuds on and is attentive to his phone, Jooheon snatches the ID that hangs from his pants.

Jooheon peeks down at the ID and slightly smirks. It isn't time for him to declare it as victory hence he still needs to access the file room.

The file room. Where the hell could it be?

Jooheon advances to strut down the hallway his heavy boots striking heavily against the marble tile surface. He peeks inside each room hoping to locate the file room. It isn't until the fifth door that he finds it in an instant.

Jooheon unlocks the door with the ID he stole from the soldier back at the entrance and gains access inside. He enters, locks and blocks the door behind his rear, and commences to inspect each of the file cabinets. He finds one label with the letter "L" and begins to skim through the folders.

Jooheon ceases immediately when one of the folders captures his attention. The folder that has his name printed on the tab. Jooheon draws it out opening it and finding himself face to face with distinct documents and photographs.
