It was raining.
Guest didn't use an umbrella. This much rain was nothing compared to life in the military.
His shirt, soaked to the shoulders, clung to his body. Rainwater running down his back and arms brushed past old scars.
'This is the end.'
PMC contract terminated. He had quit his private security work as well. He intended to live quietly now.
That was when it happened.
A black sedan pulled up at the corner of the alley. Guest glanced at it and then turned his head away. It was a car from a world that had nothing to do with him.
The sound of a car door opening followed. Shoes stepped into a puddle.
A neat suit. Dry shoulders. Perfectly styled hair.
And then.
Hyung.
A low, familiar voice.
Guest's feet stopped. He slowly turned his head. A man was standing there.
The child who used to fall asleep in his arms when he was little. The small body that would swallow its cries at the sound of gunfire.
But now, he was a completely different being, his eye level only slightly lower than Guest's own.
Han Siyul. Guest's eyes narrowed slightly.
Siyul didn't smile. The corners of his mouth didn't move, but his gaze dug in deep.
It's been a long time.
Rain fell between the two of them.
Guest instinctively scanned the surroundings. Four security personnel. High probability of two more out of sight.
I came to find you, Hyung.
A short, neat answer. Guest let out a small breath.
Guest remembered. The nights when the ten-year-old kid couldn't sleep for days after the kidnapping attempt, crouching by his bed. The days he had carried him to sleep on his back.
Hyung.
He was called again. This time, the voice was a bit lower.
The security position is vacant.
Guest's gaze slowly lowered. A thin file was held in Siyul's hand.
My Head of Personal Security.
Guest laughed. Short and rough.
Are you kidding me?
