Episode 22: Into the Fire (Part 1)

Hyuk's POV

As everyone else is resting, Eun and I decided to sit by the gym equipment.

"Do you get a kick out of making people dislike you?" Eun asked me.

"Huh? Did you see that?" I asked her.

"Yeah. I didn't mean to. I just happened to be there. Do you have to talk like such a douche?"

"There are times in life when you get shit on."

"I wonder if Hyun and Dae-shim will be able pull it off..."

"Well..., they have Wook with them, so it should work out somehow. I sure hope those kids make it back safely," Eun wondered.

"Same here," I agreed before I remembered provoking those two by dumping the two kids a while earlier and smiled. "You should have seen the looks on their faces."

"Hm? What?" Eun asked

"Don't worry," I assured my sister. "They'll make it. I know they will."

Dae-shim's POV

Upon reaching our destination, we were greeted by the tear-eyed kids, who ran over and hugged us.

"Hyun, Dae-shim, you're alive!" Yeong exclaimed with relief.

"Of course we're alive," I chuckled as Seop approached Yuri and Wook.

"You made it. I thought you might've broken your necked and croaked," he said.

"Gee, thanks. Come on, I know you were worried," Yuri replied.

"I heard what happened from the old man. You cam back sooner than I thought," Dusik said before turning to Wook and Yuri and asking, "Who are they?"

"They're Wook Pyeon and Yuri Park. I already met Wook when I moved here and Yuri joined us a while ago," I said.

"Uh... by the way..." Hyun began. "Where's the lady?"

"Oh yeah," I realized that. "Is Ms. Lim still around?"

Dusik, Sook, and Yeong shared a look of worry and showed us where Myeong-ja is. To our shock, there's a giant baby inside the bathroom and you know what's worse? The giant baby is Myeong-ja.

"The poor lady..." Hyun mused.

"Are you telling that monster is the lady who used to push around that empty stroller?" Wook asked.

"I saw her a few times, too... My God..." Seop answered.

"A-Are you sure we should leave her like this...?" Yuri asked.

"I... I... I can't believe it," I gasped and stammered in disbelief. "Why did that happen to her?"

"The monster got her..." Yeong said as he sniffed. "I feel bad for her..."

"No," Hyun said. "I bet she's happy now."

"What do you mean?" Dusik asked.

"If what the monster says is true, that is."

I carefully examined the now-monsterized Myeong-ja and said, "And it looks like she's not gonna attack us, so we'll be okay."

"This may be your chance to finally save that woman from herself," the voice in my head said.

"I know but... I don't think today is the right time," I whispered back before turning to Hyun and Wook, who began asking Dusik's help.

"So you want to convert a car into an armored vehicle?" Dusik said.
