Destined | 예정되지 않은 Series

Final Chapter

The sound of scratching on the wall just felt relaxing to the tall and fine man as he drew random patterns on them. At least he could still release his stress by using his graffiti talent and making those dull walls of the jail somewhat alive.

Though, surprisingly, every single pattern had a certain mark. Which literally were the images of…

“How has it been going here, hero?”

The voice took his attention as he moved from his previous spot, reaching his cell's door.

“The name's Jungwoo Kim, officer. Besides, I'm nowhere near to be called a hero.”

“Every man is a hero of his own story you know.”

The answer made Jungwoo chuckle. Maybe… He could be a hero but he wasn't sure if he had any story of his. “Anyways, as you asked, being here is actually stress relieving. I got to learn many things about my own self. I'm glad that destiny got me here.”

Now it was the officer's turn to chuckle. “Good that you liked it here but bad that your time is over.” The officer replied, making the latter gulp in disbelief. The expression on Jungwoo's face made the latter laugh unnecessarily loud.

“Not that way, kiddo. Your time inside these four walls is over. The man... I don't remember the name but a very young looking man bailed you. You are free now.”

Now Jungwoo widened his expression even more. “What? Bail? Who?”

The man grunted in somewhat annoyance as he replied. “I don't know. You ask too many questions. Just go and see yourself, he's waiting at the entrance. Go and live your life and let me live mine. You only live once.”

The officer didn't let Jungwoo do any more query as he unlocked the gate and motioned him to exit. Jungwoo bowed in a way to thank him and left the cell area, reaching the exit.

When he reached the lobby and saw the person who got him free, it just made him stunned. Extremely, extremely stunned.

“Mark?”

The latter looked at him and their eyes got locked for a moment. And, the very moment had butterflies inside his stomach instantly. Though, it was not surprising to him anymore as by then, he knew why he felt that way.

Mark didn't say anything. He just kept looking him in the eye and he looked… Sad.

He then motioned him to follow while exiting himself. Jungwoo was just too confused but he followed without any query, nonetheless.

“Damn this unpleasant hasty rain!” Jungwoo cursed as they waited for the heavy rain to stop.

The weather seemed just fine when Mark had picked him from the police station. He wondered as to why did the latter not bring any driver and drove himself. Well, it was not like he included any of his servants whenever they had meetups and all but still…

Anyways, as they were on their way to God or should he say Mark knew what place as the younger just kept driving in silence. He didn't even give a glance to him.

And then this heavy rain appeared in the scene which had them stopped around some road by the woods. Which made it even awkward and Jungwoo was losing his cool.

“I am sorry.”

Jungwoo looked up at Mark, who was still looking forward, and was surprised because of the sudden apology. It was even the first time the latter spoke since they met after a long time.
