“Whoah. I think I’ve got some free time now.”
These are the words Dana spit out as she boarded the plane and sat down.
As soon as she brought her mother to the base, she moved immediately.
Yuhan-wol, who was sitting next to her, looked at her and said,
“Just do it.”
Her feelings were understandable.
After leaving the experiment, he brought a busy schedule because he was the same.
Yuhan-wol still vividly remembers the feeling of saving his family.
So he added.
“It won’t be too late. I’ll have more time.”
There is not much time difference between the three operation areas.
Da Nang and Vladivostok, the longest difference of 3 hours.
All three teams had their operation start time set at night.
Dana smiled as if he could feel his consideration.
“It’s only been a few days since I met you again, and a lot has happened. The relationship has changed dramatically.”
“Yes.”
She stared at him for a moment.
“Thank you so much for helping me save my mom.
“I haven’t done much.”
Yuhan-wol’s attitude as if he doesn’t care.
Dana looked to the side for a moment as she tried to speak.
The conversation was interrupted for a while because of the stewardess who came to the side and offered a welcome drink with greetings.
Soon after, someone else came.
“Hello? I am the secretary in charge of today’s flight. I will serve you with all my heart.”
“yes.”
The two people were seated in business class.
It was the second experience for Yuhan after my last visit to Shanghai.
‘Still, it’s not awkward that I’ve done it once. I’m not familiar with it though.’
Yuhanwol glanced at Dana.
She looks comfortable.
Did he even read Yuhan Wol’s mind?
As the stewardess passed by, Dana opened her mouth.
“It was something I couldn’t even dream of in the past, but I’m used to it. People adapt very quickly.”
Yuhan-wol suddenly thought as he nodded in agreement.
Perhaps the ability to adapt quickly is the key to successful evolution.
That is why humans have reached the pinnacle of all species.
Dana looks at him without a word for a moment.
The image of him saving her mother flashed in her mind.
The car door was locked.
He would have been able to open the door with his own strength.
Break the windows or rip the door open.
Assuming it’s an ordinary car.
But you can’t do it as quietly as he did.
Besides, the car waits in place while you do it.
In fact, it was a car that pressed the accelerator hard to push Yuhan-wol as it is.
However, his light hand was immobilized and stopped.
‘Did you destroy the inside?’
As he rescued himself, his image flashed in Dana’s mind.
Yuhan Wol’s hand lightly subduing defensive superhumans.
‘It’s amazing to think about it again.’
If he hadn’t helped, I wouldn’t have been able to save my mother so smoothly.
No, he probably couldn’t have saved his mother at all.
And what I was more grateful for was his attitude towards his mother after that.
His meticulous attention to the heart of his mother, who must have been embarrassed and anxious.
was that so?
something more to say.
Dana’s mouth opened.
“I was worried.”
Whether or not she knew Yuhan Wol was looking at her side face, she continued to speak in a low voice.
“The assassination of the president of the United States, and his goal in the turbulent situation that followed. Bruce’s top priority, of course, is what he has planned and ordered. Of course, it’s more urgent and focused than just a moment of entertainment.”
Dana paused for a moment.
“But when the busy situation passes…then you’ll think of me again.”
Yuhan-wol inwardly agrees with that statement.
Because her looks are enough, not too attractive.
“Actually, if I only had my escape in mind, I didn’t have to move so much in Shanghai. It’s much more advantageous to pretend to be carrying out an operation and get a job in the middle. It might not have been.”
“right.”
“But then, I’m going to take care of myself. Even so… there would be no way to save my mother. Crossing from China or Vietnam to Korea is also a problem, but no matter what you do, you can’t move faster than them. Because it’s useless.”
Yuhan Wol silently nodded his head.
Her concerns at the time were easily understood.
“But I can’t help but go to rescue my mom… If I go to rescue her, I’m sure I’ll get caught. Nine times out of 10. And if that happens, I’ll be caught and brainwashed again. Or I’ll die.
As if recalling the frustrating situation at that time, Dana exhaled once, paused for a moment, and then opened her mouth again.
“What should I do? How? I kept thinking about this. I had no idea what to do.”
Dana turned to him and spoke.
“I felt you in such anguish. Suddenly.”
Yuhan Wol opened his mouth as if he understood.
“Because I recently escaped from the experimental facility, too. And as soon as I decided to join Aiden, I went to China.”
“Yes. I thought it would. Suddenly something happened. Something that could change the situation… fate.”
Dana ran out of words.
“And when I first met you and helped you with the operation, I felt a certain hope. Even if you don’t know whether you have a family or not, at least your side of things is not unusual.”
I saw Dana then.
Organizational enough to save and take care of her mother.
“As I said, it was the same for me. It was also the main reason I decided to join the Aiden organization.”
Yuhan-wol’s parents warmly welcomed her unfamiliar mother.
The scene flashed into Dana’s mind.
It’s been a while since we’ve met again, and I have to leave my mother alone at the base and leave immediately.
It was a car that was not going to go down well, but Yuhan-wol’s parents gave him a wink and told him not to worry and go.
like good people
“How are you doing? Family?”
“I guess… he doesn’t show his feelings very well, but he seems to be getting along well.”
“Hearing that makes my heart feel lighter.”
Dana looked at Yuhanwol looking back.
“Because I don’t think I made the wrong decision.”
“Really. My name is ‘Dana’, not ‘Dana’.”
“Ah… When you say ‘It’s elegant,’ is it that simple thing?”
“yes that’s right.”
When I heard Dan-ah, it felt like a foreign name, but Dan-ah is also very Korean.
“It’s a pretty name.”
get along well with her
Whoops.
Then a faint smile appeared on her face.
It’s not something that looks bright.
“Ah, I was just being honest…”
Feeling Yuhan Wol’s doubts, she hurriedly spoke.
“It’s not because of Han-wol.”
“then?”
“Just… it reminds me of my childhood, so I don’t even know it.”
“Why in childhood?”
“I was teased a lot because of my name.”
“Well?”
Yuhan-wol’s reaction as if he didn’t understand.
“My surname is Mr. Lee. That’s why my name is Dan-ah Lee. I was teased a lot.”
There is only one surname attached, but the feeling is different.
Being teased for a name is common.
And she continued, as if she had expected such a reaction.
“But do you know that? The original meaning of the word heretic is to mean a person who innovates against tradition or authority?”
“ah…”
“So the term heretic isn’t originally a bad thing. In a way, it’s actually great. It’s a good word.”
“Yeah. I didn’t know that.”
“But people around me made fun of me for that word, and I thought I was being teased too. Most people still think that word has a negative meaning. Why is that? It’s probably because of the social atmosphere.”
“Um, etiquette. The Confucian ideology that is rooted in our nation. Such an influence must be great. I myself do not have that aspect.”
Yuhan-wol, who paused for a moment, looked at her and said,
“I heard it’s a really good name.”
Edan-ah smiles at that.
“I’ve come to like this name as I’ve gotten older, but it’s not like I’m the only one who thinks it’s good. That’s why I just used a pseudonym since I started socializing. It’s Danah.”
Yuhan Wol nodded and thought.
Either way, it’s unique.
An uncommon name.
“Who built it?
“I’m going daddy.”
“…”
The only thing she saved in the morning was her mother.
That means she doesn’t have a father.
Lee Dan-ah continued to say whether she had guessed Yuhan-wol’s thoughts.
“Dad… passed away. Suddenly when I was young. I was in business, and he was always busy.”
“It’s probably more like that if you’re in business.”
“Yes. It must have been very difficult. My mother was a housewife, so my father must have had a lot of responsibility to take care of the family alone. He must have had many problems and difficulties while running the business, but he must have had nowhere to confide.”
Yuhan-wol naturally thought of her father at her deep words.
“Then he died suddenly. Oh… he wasn’t dead. One day he collapsed and was brain dead. He lay in bed for three years. In the hospital room.”
“ah…”
“At the same time, the house that was quite affluent was almost demolished. I didn’t know exactly about my dad’s business, so I couldn’t do well, and at least a little bit of money and the property I had saved up in the house were all used up for my dad’s hospital bills. Because there was nothing and there was only expenses. I was young, and my mom was sick and my dad was sick…”
It must have been a big shock to me at a young age.
The environment suddenly turned 180 degrees.
Even the mother would not have been able to pay much attention to the young child during the illness.
“That’s how my dad passed away and my mom jumped into business… Actually, I don’t have a career at that age, and there aren’t many things that I can have.”
I don’t know exactly what you did, but I think you can guess.
How could I get a good job?
“I used to live quite affluent, but my life changed in an instant. I suddenly had a difficult life… I think I resented it a lot. All my friends around me live happily with no worries, but I had to live my life looking at everything. Will I be able to pay my tuition on time? Because I had to worry. It was difficult to attend academy, so that’s what I think about. If my parents were like my friends, if my family was well, I could do much better than them… Well, I was too young at the time. .”
Dan-ah Lee, who had been speaking for a long time as if talking to herself, paused for a moment.
It was because there was no reaction from Yuhan Wol.
Then, suddenly, she felt embarrassed.
Did you say that you had never told anyone about how long it had been since you had seen him?
Why?
Did you save your mother?
Because of his serious look?
Their relationship is just the beginning of getting to know each other.
It was Lee Dan-ah, who wondered if she had loosened up too much on her own in such a situation.
Then Yuhan Wol opened his mouth.
“So did I. When I was young.”
Lee Dan-ah questioned his words that came in unexpectedly.
“yes?”
