After hearing everything that Bella said, the couple decided to go meet up with their son. Mrs. Lee no longer has the thought of asking her son to stop. Jinhoo had no idea of what had happened so he was still thinking of what to tell his parents."Stop pretending, you can open your eyes now." Bella's words reached his ears and he slowly opened his eyes.He saw Bella smiling down at him then he shifted his gaze to his parents. They were embracing each other, and his mother's eyes were red."Mom." His eyes softened and his mother came to his side."I am sorry, I never knew what you are passing through or the responsibilities you are carrying." Mrs. Lee apologized."You don't need to apologize, just make sure to always prepare delicious food for me." Jinhoo smiled."I will my child." They all chuckled and once again their greatest obstacle was overcome."Thank you." Jinhoo mouthed to Bella. He knew she was the one that have take care of his recent obstacle."You owe me." Bella mouthed ba
When Jinhoo and the rest came out of detention, even the principal came to see what happened. Even though all students now behave properly and the principal no longer has to walk on a tightrope, he still has to be careful when it is a matter related to Jinhoo."You don't have to worry about anything." Jinhoo spoke kindly to the principal."I will make sure she doesn't do such a thing again." As he was about to leave, Jinhoo stopped him."Don't interface with her work. All teachers should strive to be like her." Though Jinhoo was smiling, the Principal knew not to do anything against what the boy just said.When Jinhoo and the rest went back into the classroom, everyone was eager to hear what happened. Even Bella couldn't wait for dismissal before she asked Jinhoo what happened."Well, we were asked to write a thousand words about why we have been absent from school.""Really?""Yes, and we are in detention for the rest of the week." Bella couldn't believe her ears. Though she knew th
"I came to tell you all of the latest development. I am sure most of you know about the fight coming up. I plan to participate in the fight. And I plan to tell you about a change in our way of life.""What do you mean by that?" Only Su-Bin dared to ask."Well, many of us make a living through extortion, or selling of drugs and any other illegal commodity. Well, I am here to tell you all that has to stop." At Jinhoo's words, everyone gasped."How do we intend to survive? Which respect can we command if we no longer do what we do?" Wolrung asked."Do you respect me?" Jinhoo suddenly asked. "Do you?" He asked again since Wolrung hesitated to answer."Yes, I do. We all do.""Yet, I got all that without selling drugs or even any illegal commodities. In fact, I got it by stopping it all." "What do you intend we start doing? I understand that you are trying to make us to a new leave, but it will be worse if we have nothing to do. We would go back to the street and become a nuisance.""You a
When Jinhoo entered, Miss Vivian has a bottle of red wine on her table. She looks so young that people would find it hard to believe that she is a teacher. "What are you doing outside by this time of the day?" She asked as the boy sat opposite her."Just taking an evening stroll, my neighborhood is around the corner.""Does that explain the bruises on your faces, and the redness of your knuckles? You know, I have been noticing you and I have noticed how you are constantly with bruises and cuts." She gave him a discerning look."You are right, I am always with an injury. Even my girlfriend complains about it." Jinhoo chuckled."How did such a sweet girl accept to be your girlfriend?" Miss Vivian couldn't understand it. The only thing she found great about Jinhoo is his brain and his ability to always be number one. "Beats me" Jinhoo shrugged. "But what are you doing here?""I am waiting for someone." She checked her time and then looked at the entrance."I am guessing that whoever yo
With only one week remaining, Jinhoo decided to make sure Bella enjoys every day of it. He came to pick her up every morning and also brings her back home after school."What will you tell your mother about the competition?" Bella knew Jinhoo would soon be leaving for the competition. It saddens her but she has to support him since that is the best thing to do."I am sending them on vacation. I know it will not be enough since they will want to hear my voice. I just have to send Ja-di with them and make her convince them to stay away from their phone and have fun." Jinhoo already made plans on the island to take them. It will make it feel like the honeymoon they never had."I hear the competition can last up to a year, or more. I hear only one winner is allowed.""Yes, you're right.""And the losers only have one end, death." Bella was trying so hard to be brave and speak like she wasn't affected."I don't care about the end of the losers since I am not going to." It was pride but con
Jinhoo was saying goodbye to his parents at the airport. They are leaving for their honeymoon."Are you sure you would be able to stay three months without hearing from us?" Mrs. Lee was concerned. Jinhoo has managed to convince his parents not to call him during their vacation. "Yes, you should take this as your honeymoon. You shouldn't be concerned about your child. Just have fun like two young couples that just got married." "Thank you, my son, I will make sure to bring back souvenir." Mr. Lee said. "I can't stay without hearing from my son." Mrs. Lee pouted."Ok, let's do this. You can send me a text once a week and I would reply to that. Just once a week." Jinhoo smiled and his mother finally agreed and boarded their flight. It is a private plane that once belonged to Young-Soo, but now it belongs to Jinhoo. Jinhoo stayed until their flight took off.Meanwhile, Bella has been disturbing her father to find a way to help Jinhoo during the competition. She would've asked her fath
Jinhoo scoffed as he remembered how beautiful Bella was when he left her this morning. Da-in was driving Jinhoo to the location."Hope you had your breakfast?" Da-in asked."No, it is too early in the day to think about breakfast." Da-in knew about the competition, she has watched some of the competition and she knows how brutal it can be. "You know you would be locked up for two days before the start of the competition." "Wow." Jinhoo was truly surprised. Bitgaram had tried finding out something about the competition but he couldn't. He only got access to the link it would be displayed. And he only got the link because Jinhoo being the Eastern Districts Boss has the right to the link. "Da-in." "Yes.""Have you found out about the cops I asked you about?" Da-in was surprised that Jinhoo still bothers about the nation even as he is about to enter into the valley of death. "Yes, I found a few but one stands out the most. While others are clean and determined not to be involved wi
In order not to make them start killing each other immediately, they were dropped at different parts of the island. Jinhoo was the last to be dropped. Jinhoo knew other participants has been dropped somewhere on the island, and maybe some are already engaged in a battle. The best thing to do is to find food, with the island filled with all kinds of trees, Jinhoo knew it wouldn't be hard. This is not his first time in a jungle, so he is confident in his ability to survive. Jinhoo was soaked but that was the least of his worries. Being on the same Island with a group of murderers would make being wet the least of your worries. He looked up and noticed the run is not yet high so its still morning."We were in the dark for two days. If others were the same, they would be super hungry and mad." Jinhoo muttered as he left the beach and entered the forest. Being out in the open would make you an easy target. Just like Jinhoo has his mind on food, every other participants were thinking the s
