"Well, if he dares to forget his dear sister, I will make sure that he never forgets about me again. His terrifying and loving sis."
Meanwhile, somewhere in Europe,
Arthur: "While is our sales, getting less and less, my company had been standing at the top of the global supply chain for the automotive industry for decades. Why can't we even stand up against our rival in the sales even though we already given out big year promotions and year-end sales not to mention, a lot of discounts prices as well, that damages our financial stability of the company?"
Mon Jun: "Sir, it is that company? Even though we tried every strategy to affect their sales one way for another. Somehow, they managed to be in the market, even though it looks like large business cooperation, we don't even know who the shareholders of the company are or who is managing the company. It is like, we don't even know the origin of the company at all, we only know that the company is first established 7-10 years ago and even though they are one of the top companies in terms of yearly gross income and revenue, there isn't any stocks of the company on the market. Look like, there is no share holder in the first place. Even though we tried pulling string using many means, even to the point of relating to the military, we don't know anything except that the company origin is based in Asia. It seems like they have unlimited amount of funds, and they just don't care about being in market rather than competition, they tend to do business with only specific group of people, and they are very good at it. Although they have business project targeted for the customer of varieties of levels. Most of their business income comes from private auctions, hiring bodyguards for some big shots like celebrities and movie-stars. They have branches of businesses in every field whether be it sport, military, automotive, entertainment and fashion industry. But seem like there are other tiny business-like food, agriculture and export and import companies under them. What I am surprised by that is they even have a couple of banking brands and live broadcasting channels under the company name.
Arthur: "Seem like what we scratch isn't even the tip of the iceberg, and the rabbit hole is deeper than we thought"
Jon Si: "Why is that sir?"
Baha Ni: "Because we have requested the Director of the Police Department and Tax Invoice Office to run investigation upon their company name, where they get their funds from and why is everyone doesn't know about this company even though they are very big and even the media didn't mention even once. And also, whether they have shady past like avoiding paying tax to the government. Like that..."
Mon Jun: "And?"
Jon Si: "What did we get?"
Baha Ni: (silence) "We got nothing, both the director of the Police Department and Tax Invoice Office gave us a phone call to stop every one of our investigations to stop, and they both retired suddenly. And now, the both the police department and tax invoice office are trying to find whether we have avoided any tax before, well in fact, they are trying to burn us."
Mon Jun: "WTF, both of them are close friend of our chairman, how could they do this us?"
Jon Si: "We have nothing to be afraid of about the police department, we hadn't done any illegal trade or acts in our business. But there is always someone in the company stupid even to use company funds for their own profit and avoid tax. We have to find solution for the Tax Revenue Department investigating."
Baha Ni: "I have done all the necessary things to the limit of my ability. The rest is... We have to wait and see."
Aurthor: "Seem like we have poked the hornet nest, a big one at that. Or a sleeping tiger. (sigh) For now, let's try to stay away from them that we won't be stung and beaten to death."
(present)
Mira: "Brother, you rest for a bit. I will go and get you some water. What do you want to eat?"
Si Woo: "No, Big bro. Don't want anything, Mira, you haven't got anything to eat for yourself, right? Go and treat yourself something in the canteen. Big bro will sleep for a bit. Alright."
Mira: "But..." (stomach growling)
Si Woo: (smile) "Go, I will be alright. Eat healthy so that you can protect me when you want right?"
Mira: "Alright then. Brother, take a rest. I will get something for you as well."
(door close)
Si Woo: "Woo~ (pain) (pain) ahh, seem like I broke a few ribs with the impact. Can't move my shoulder, look like all the flesh on my upper left should get burst. I feel weak, maybe because of loss of blood. Wait, I remember. The dream. How strange, even though my body is in pain, my mind feels calm, did the nurse gives me a drug to calm down?"
Si Woo: "It is warm, like something is flowing through my chest... huh???"
(fell asleep)
"Suddenly chatter" (a ray of light) appear from the necklace as well. This time, it is a mixture of rainbow and golden light. Slowing fainting and brightening repeatedly.
Unknown: You sure he is the one. (echo)
Unknown: I am not sure. Last time, I see the kid, I am sure she is a girl in her twenties. She has the purest heart of the human, to the extent that I nearly mistaken that she is an angle. I gave her this essence stone my vitality because I owed her grandmother, a priest once.
Unknown: Well, I am pretty sure. Human doesn't change their gender as they grow older. And I am pretty sure that the kid you gave the stone to is probably around in her late sixties.
Unknown: What? We came because we though I might see the purest heart of the human species that you talked every time we met. I lost interest, I am going to go back. It feels very hot in this lower realm. I felt the filth everywhere, greed, anger, jealousy, pride, don't wanna be here any longer."
Unknown: (silence)
Unknown: "Hey, you know you can't stay here, right? We don't belong here. Even though we came from this place, this place currently is full of dark karma, if you are involved, we can't even save from this. I don't want to see you suffer in the fire of regret."
Unknown: (silence) "I know, but please give me a sec"
An unknown approach the Si Woo, resting on the bed of hospital,
Unknown: "Even though this is a hospital, I don't feel like this is one. I see no one holds bad karma to this place. This is good enough, at least."
Unknown: "Now, let me see what had happened to you, human boy"
"A ray of light in the form of hand, suddenly stretched out from the thin air, touching Si Woo's head gently."
Unknown: "I see, what a poor child. After all, this is life. And... why are you staying inside the necklace."
Unknown: "You can now come out. The boy's mother."
A white pale light slowly takes form of a human woman beside the bed, kneeling down towards the golden light.
Unknown: "Oh what had happened to you? Last time, I see your life will be longer than your life partner."
A white pale light: "I don't know. I just want to see my child is safe. Anything else, I don't remember."
Unknown: (silence) "I see. Look like this realm is becoming worse and worse, while a person with darkest heart strangles the longest. While a person who is as pure as you tend to die quickly. Seem like, there is no cure."
Unknown: "Follow me, I will guide you to the place where you will be wait until this realm is ready to accept to you."
A white pale light: (silence)
Unknown: "I see something is troubling you."
A white pale light: "My child, I am worried about my child."
Unknown: "Everything has its own causes, every happening has their own causes and consequence, we can't interfere. Let it go."
A white pale light: "Please"
Unknown: (silence)
Unknown: "Alright, I will give him my teaching, but whether he understand it or not, depend on him."
A white pale light: (silence) nods
Unknown: "I see you have a lot of interwind of life, a lot of stony paths as well." "Remember my friend, I used to be like that, in this endless life cycle, as long as there is good, there will always be bad. Detach from all those things, and you will have no reason to suffer."
A golden ray of light retreated in the thin air.
A while pale light slowly follows the golden ray of light.
"Goodbye, my child in this life."
Suddenly a bright light came out from the necklace around Si Woo's, shining as bright as it could, while the dead flower in the vase, suddenly came back to life with colorful bright petals. And then,
It fades like it will never be brighten again. It goes back to a normal gemstone.
(door knocking)
Knock...Knock...Knock...
(Sir, this is your secretary. Should I let her in?)
Sir? Sir? Sir?
(Door open)
Si Woo: "Open his eyes, wait, his vision is blurry as he just wakes up from somehow strange but a nice and warm sleep."
Si Woo: "Who are you?"
Sera: "Oh, maybe my boy hits his heart to hard that he could even remember the one he confessed his love before?"
Si Woo: "Wtf are you talking about? Wait, (thinking) (realizing)
Si Woo: You are... Sera-Noona?
