A Year Through the GW; Present

"Didn't you hear me? I asked you, "Who you are?"," he repeats. I turn around to see who it is. He is a handsome young man. He had an Asian feeling to him, and he was Asian. Surprisingly, although he is speaking to me in some Asian language, probably Korean, I perfectly understand what he is saying.

'Who? I?'

'Yes, you. There is no one here, but us,' he replies with a low tone.

The place is indeed empty. Our voices are echoing all over the place. There is no one but us. "I'm a traveler. I passed by the place and am feeling exhausted from my long quest. Would it be fine for me to stay here for a while?"

"Are you blind? This is a palace; a mansion. Just if... Not a guesthouse. So the doors are open for you... to leave,' he kicks me out.

'But,'

"What 'buts' now? huh," he signs

'I'm supposed to live here,'

"What now? Huh, you're claiming to be a former like me? ~~~" Jong Hyun is smirking at me the whole time he speaking to me.

"I guess… I am... a former like yourself"c

"Hm, I see. Then welcome," and our conversation ends at this.

But I'm curious,

"YOU! You said your name was Jong Hyun, right. Is Jong your surname?"

"No, it's Kim. Oh, by the way, there is this machine beside the stairs. If you were a former*, the machine would locate your rooms and properties in this place. Just go and enter your KEY's code."

I follow his words and walk to the stairs. There was it. The machine. Not that fancy, but still not the usual. It is not like what I know, yet not that different in terms of functions. I press the opening button. "Wait for few seconds," shows up on the screen. Therefore, I wait. After that, I have to select my KEY's type. Mine is a cat. The last step is entering my KEY's code.

'Peep,'

'Welcome back home,'

'Peep,'

'It has been a century, 2 months and 7 days, ACF,'

'Peep,'

'I shall now inform your group,'

'Peep,'

'Set Code L on,'

'Peep,'

'Code L starts,"

'Peep,'

'I call to all one's family,'

'Peep,'

'You no longer shall rest or play,'

'Peep,'

'ACF is back,'

'Peep,'

'ACF rules this homeland now!'
