"Huh?" she gasped, slowly taking a few steps back. A trickle of cold sweat inched its way down her temple and she quickly retreated towards the centre entrance.
"If an adult asks you a question, you should answer," an authoritative voice echoed as she sprinted.
Trained to be a skilful agent, he effortlessly drifted through the air at lighting speed and took a grip of Hae Won midriff in just a couple of seconds. Able to catch her, he hoisted her high, preparing for a daunting "test."
"Let... go... off... me," Hae Won panted, struggling against the man's grasp.
"Don't worry. I just gotta check a few things," he said and released Hae Won. In a split-second, her body hit the net stand so hard that her spine was cracked.
"Arghhh," she grunted in agony while lying on the ground. Although she had healing ability, she did feel pain and it still took her a while to stand up.
Jae Hyun was walking back from the store and could hear Hae Won's voice. Rushing over to the entrance, he tried to open it. However, it was locked. He began to freak out and ran around the centre thoughtlessly as a vain attempt to find a way to get inside. Fortunate enough, the side of the sports centre was made of glass, which he could possibly break through with his strength.
"Hae Won-ah," he took a deep breath and lowered his body, pushing his feet against the ground, "I'm coming."
And he started to fly once more. However, unlike the previous times, he was not simply floating around anymore, he needed to control his flight. That was not a thing which he was good at and he knew it was not going to be easy. Yet he had to try, as he had no other choice.
Meanwhile, inside the building, the man showed no sign of stopping and seized Hae Won's body again.
"What about checking it for the second round?" he said and elevated up to the upper gallery. Hae Won exhaled in distress, knowing that she was going to break a multitude of bones in her body if he threw her off from there.
"Arghhhhh," she screamed her lungs out, covering her head as the whooshing sound penetrated her ears.
Just at that dire moment, Jae Hyun shattered the glass and soared after her.
"I got you," he caught her as she fell into his arms.
"T... thank... you," she spluttered and stared at him, holding onto him tightly so that she would not fall. It was that precarious moment when she became truly aware of her feelings for him. He was not just a casual fling. She was in love with him. He was the one who fell for her first, but she fell for him harder.
She lied neatly in his arms while he continued flying, preparing for a landing. Yet it turned out to be not so easy as Jae Hyun expected because he could not fully control his power yet. As Eagle was observing them from afar, they headed straight to where the ping-pong tables were erected.
"Hey, turn , turn, turn!" Hae Won shouted while incessantly tapping Jae Hyun's cheek, urging a change in direction.
"I can't," Jae Hyun shut his eyes tightly and grumbled as they came closer to the tables. Unable to come up with any better alternatives, he chose to throw Hae Won aside. As he landed, he could feel his shoes scraping against the floor, creating an unpleasant squealing sound. Before he could realise, his face already banged at the table ahead, "Arghhh!"
"Jae Hyun-ah," Hae Won scrambled her feet and rushed over to check on Jae Hyun, "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm alright," he slowly got up.
"Hey," Hae Won glared and yelled at Eagle, who was intently watching them from the upper gallery, "Get down here!"
"Hey, you sure we can take him down?" Jae Hyun nudged her arm and whispered.
"Don't worry. I can take down a whole gang, you know?" she confidently reassured him, puckering her lips and patting his back.
"Wow," Eagle gave them an indifferent smirk, "If that's what you want, then I guess I shall come down."

At the same time, the remedial class had just ended. Once making sure that every classmate had left except for Ji Woo, Yoon Ah received the order to initiate the attack. Because Sung Ho was her friend, it would not be difficult for her to lure him into her trap.
"Hey Ji Woo, when is Sung Ho finishing his maths class?" Yoon Ah asked.
"The same with our class. He should be going down from the fifth floor right now," Ji Woo said, "Shall I ask him to have dinner with us?"
"Sure," Yoon Ah nodded her head, "Then tell him to meet up here."
"OK, lemme text him," Ji Woo cheerfully said.
It seemed that Yoon Ah did not even have to catch her prey. They were all coming to her. A few minutes later, Sung Ho arrived. As soon as he got into the room without a slightest tinge of weariness, she closed the door and locked it up, revealing her true intentions.
"I'm sorry," Yoon Ah captured Ji Woo in her grasp, pulling out from her jacket a gun and aiming it at her friend's head. "Listen! If you guys cooperate, I won't harm you," she flatly commanded as her hand began fidgeting, struggling to hold the trigger.
"Hey Yoon Ah, what's happening?" Ji Woo wiggled her body, struggling against Yoon Ah's grasp.
"What the hell are you doing, Seoul Yoon Ah?" Sung Ho inquired in horror.
"I'm an agent and I'm here to capture you, Sung Ho," Yoon Ah said, tightening her grasp on Ji Woo.
"Then leave Ji Woo alone," Sung Ho glared at her. Along his arms, blue veins began to appear clearer and his muscles also stiffened. "Hurry up!"
"Yoon Ah-yah, let go of me," Ji Woo bursted out into tears, intimidated and horrified by the unfolding scene in front of her.
"Don't worry. I'm not gonna hurt you," Yoon Ah said and then put her gun down on the ground, placing her foot on it.
"Sung Ho, just run!" Ji Woo cried out.
"Hey, Park Sung Ho..." Yoon Ah closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "If you dare get out of that door, I won't hesitate to kill this girl."
Despite her nonchalant demeanour, Yoon Ah's was indeed being gnawed from inside. Both Sung Ho and Ji Woo were her friends and she truly did not want to threaten them like this.
"Inject this into your vein," Yoon Ah tossed a syringe at Sung Ho.
"What the hell is this?" Sung Ho queried.
"Anaesthetic, it will keep you asleep until you arrive in Pyongyang," Yoon Ah flatly said, "I wanna end this quickly so hurry up!"
"What? Are you bringing me to North Korea?"
"Yeah, so inject it. I honestly don't wanna shoot Ji Woo," Yoon Ah gritted her teeth and glared at Sung Ho.
"OK, if that's what you want," Sung Ho rolled up his sleeve, "But let go of Ji Woo first!"
"Just inject it first. I have no reason to keep her after you do it, so don't worry."
"No, Sung Ho, don't do it," Ji Woo's voice cracked out as her crying get louder.
"Ji Woo-ah, keep quiet," Yoon Ah said and then covered Ji Woo's mouth.
But unbeknownst to Yoon Ah, Sung Ho had a different plan. He never intended to inject himself with that dose of paralyser. All he wanted to do was to catch Yoon Ah off guard. He then immediately launched himself at her, trying to penetrate her skin with the syringe. Instinctively, Yoon Ah let go of Ji Woo to block his hands.
"Sung Ho, I'm sorry," Ji Woo said under her breath discreetly leaving the room, taking advantage of Yoon Ah shifting all of her attention to Sung Ho.
Meanwhile, Yoon Ah really had a difficult time handling Sung Ho's super strength. Within a second, he managed to grab her collar and then threw her against the wall.
"Arghhh," Yoon Ah grumbled as her body hit the wall, struggling to stand up.
Summoning all her strengths, Yoon Ah got up and then retaliated with a thunderous kick at Sung Ho's face, making him fall onto the ground, burying his face in his hands and twirling in agony. Amidst the struggle, Sung Ho dropped the syringe, giving Yoon Ah the opportunity to pick it up and prepare to inject him. But he soon regained his focus and got up, punching at her left rib. As her feet began to destabilise, he retrieved a chair and hurled it at her, rendering her sprawled on the ground. However, she soon grabbed her gun nearby and shot his shoulder. In his instinctive pain response, she rushed over and injected his neck.
"Y... Yoon Ah... you basta.." Sung Ho's face contorted while voice weakened before he completely succumbed to unconsciousness.
Yoon Ah then grabbed a first aid kit and used the bandage to stop Sung Ho's bleeding. Her mission was finally done. All she needed to do now was only to rest in the classroom and treat her injuries. It would take a while for the North Korean agents to handle both So Hyun and Ju Won, by when she was ordered to bring Sung Ho out.
