Episode 101

 

4th Floor, Item Storage Warehouse.

 

This place, which uses an entire floor as storage, houses everything from items worth 10 billion won to small items distributed for supply purposes.

 

Therefore, while it’s called a ‘warehouse,’ it’s actually no different from a ‘Treasure Vault.’

 

Truly one of BOND’s prides.

 

Among them, S-rank Items not disclosed to the public were also stored.

 

As such, security is more thorough than anywhere else.

 

Only specially selected employees are permitted passage, and one must break through triple security to finally reach the ‘complete Treasure Vault.’

 

A place where ordinary employees rarely have the opportunity or dare to see inside.

 

However… right now, the door to that warehouse is wide open.

 

Moreover, the interior is blazing with fire.

 

“Kyaaaaaaah!!!”

 

Leaving behind the screams of the poor ordinary Employee who ‘accidentally’ encountered that scene while following Na Hwi-yeon… let’s find out how the perfectly fine Item Storage Warehouse suddenly became a sea of flames.

 

To do that, we need to go back in time just a little bit…

 

 

Baek Cheonji was running, following his friends ahead.

 

At the very front, Nabi was chasing someone recklessly, with his friends closely following behind.

 

‘Huh, when did she appear?’

 

Teacher clearly said Nabi went Home first??

 

Despite being confused by his friend’s sudden reappearance, his two legs working hard didn’t stop.

 

Of course, naturally.

 

‘Because my friends aren’t stopping!’

 

“Hey, Kids! Where are we going?!”

 

Baek Cheonji asked his friends ahead.

 

“Don’t know! We’re just running!”

 

“We have to catch Nabi!”

 

“Nabi! Nabi! Where are you going?”

 

“Let’s catch that! It looks like our friend!”

 

At his friends’ calls, Nabi pointed ahead with her finger and shouted. And at the end of that…

 

‘A child?’

 

There was a Baseball Cap Boy who seemed to be his age, wearing a Baseball Cap pulled down low.

 

If there was something unusual, it was that he was carrying a large Backpack on his back, the kind that older boys and girls would carry.

 

“Who are you?!”

 

Baek Cheonji gathered courage and asked in a loud voice.

 

“…”

 

But there was no answer.

 

“Hey! Why aren’t you answering Cheonji?!”

 

Kim Noah got angry, but the Baseball Cap Boy ran without even looking back.

 

Therefore, they had no choice but to keep running as well.

 

Since the Baseball Cap Boy didn’t stop, Nabi didn’t stop, and since Nabi didn’t stop, his friends didn’t stop!

 

Therefore, Baek Cheonji himself couldn’t stop either!

 

Then, unable to stop their speed, when they turned the Corner of the Hallway.

 

“Whoa!! Almost fell. What the… Kids?”

 

“What are you doing?!”

 

They came face to face with Adults wearing business suits.

 

The Adults with bewildered expressions.

 

Thinking they would stop him and scold him any moment, Baek Cheonji instinctively hesitated.

 

His heart grew cold, and just as his body was about to shrink with tension.

 

“Cheonji, run quickly! We have to catch that!”

 

Nabi, who had been running in the lead, came to his side and grabbed his hand.

 

“!…Uh, uh…!”

 

“Hurry! Hurry!”

 

“Uh, uhng!”

 

At that urging, Baek Cheonji had no choice but to leave behind the adults who were staring at them in surprise and rush right past them.

 

‘Is this okay?’

 

“Hurry! Hurry!”

 

…I don’t know!

 

Whoosh whoosh.

 

He ran quickly between the adults’ legs. This caused weak screams and murmuring to be heard, but he managed to succeed at this too!

 

Then, he even encountered his hyung’s secretary….

 

“Y-Young Master?”

 

“I’m sorry! I can’t stop right now!”

 

He apologized and ran! He didn’t stop.

 

Once he passed by once, the second time was easy. Hot breath came out and his heart was pounding, but strangely his head felt light as if he might fly away.

 

‘They said I shouldn’t run around carelessly outside….’

 

But this feels so good!

 

He was aware that he was doing something bad. However, if he had known beforehand that bad behavior could be this fun.

 

‘I should have tried it sooner!’

 

Just as a sense of liberation he had never felt before and a corresponding rebellious spirit were slowly blooming in Baek Cheonji’s heart.

 

The persistent chase came to a stop.

 

They had encountered a dead end.

 

Behind the boy’s back was a wall made of solid steel blocking the way.

 

The boy with the baseball cap pulled down low turned to face them….

 

-Ding.

 

-1st Floor.

 

-The doors are opening.

 

Swoosh.

 

He went inside the wall?

 

No.

 

‘Huh? It wasn’t a wall?’

 

It wasn’t a steel wall but actually an elevator with its doors closed!

 

-The doors are closing.

 

Before they could even be surprised at seeing the boy quickly board the elevator and disappear, Lee Seo-ro looked at the elevator going up and said.

 

“4th Floor.”

 

“Huh?”

 

“He went to the 4th Floor!”

 

Before they knew it, the plan to chase Nabi had completely changed.

 

‘Let’s catch that boy!’

 

The children, excited by the chase game, had completely lost their reason.

 

Under Lee Seo-ro’s quick leadership as he caught the next elevator, they including Baek Cheonji boarded the elevator that had come back down.

 

Destination: 4th Floor!

 

-Ding

 

-4th Floor.

 

-The doors are opening.

 

Thud thud thud thud thud. Short, stubby footsteps quickly echoed through the hallway.

 

The place they headed to as they poured out of the open elevator was precise.

 

The Item Storage Warehouse that occupied the entire 4th Floor.

 

Seeing the door that was wide open for some reason, they entered that place without a moment’s doubt.

 

And the children who entered the storage warehouse saw it.

 

Tall storage cases surrounding both walls.

 

In each of those cases, mysterious and strange items that might appear in fairy tales were displayed.

 

A space displaying an overwhelming accumulation of wealth.

 

However, the children weren’t interested in such worldly things.

 

What mattered was the figure right before their eyes.

 

As expected, they had encountered the problematic Baseball Cap Boy again in that place.

 

“Hey! You there!”

 

Thud.

 

The Baseball Cap Boy who had been looking around deep in the Storage Room stopped walking at Kim Noah’s shout.

 

Then he slowly turned his head to look at them.

 

Under the round Baseball Cap, his petty lips opened and the words that finally came out were….

 

“Ah, seriously so annoying.”

 

“???”

 

The Baseball Cap Boy crossed his arms and continued speaking.

 

“Man, why do kids these days have such good stamina. Hey, little friends…. Your Parents are worried, so just take it easy and go home.”

 

Baek Cheonji became serious at the Baseball Cap Boy’s unexpected way of speaking.

 

A strangely rough and annoyed tone.

 

And from that tone, he could quickly think of someone familiar.

 

‘He’s similar to my Cousin Brother?’

 

But wait, Hyung said that…. Cousin Brother drinks every day and acts like a typical thug, thug, ah! A thug!

 

Baek Cheonji was shocked at the word that came to mind.

 

‘Then does that mean he’s a thug too?’

 

Baek Cheonji clearly remembered when Baek Cheonhyeong had explained ‘thug’ with a very displeased expression.

 

‘It’s not a good word. Then, he’s probably not a good kid either?’

 

As he vaguely grasped the opponent’s identity, wariness was starting to bloom, when.

 

“…I don’t have Parents though.”

 

“Seo-ra!”

 

Baek Cheonji grabbed Lee Seo-ra’s shoulder in surprise. He had learned that you shouldn’t provoke the other party when you don’t properly know their identity.

 

Even if the opponent was a child his own age, you should be wary of strangers! And he’s even a thug!

 

“Lee Seo-ra is right. But why does that matter?”

 

Seo-ro!!

 

Even Lee Seo-ro who had been quiet!

 

Baek Cheonji stamped his feet.

 

What to do! What to do?!

 

…But the opponent who seemed like he might charge at any moment heard the twins’ words and suddenly became noticeably flustered.

 

“…Uh, I asked for no reason…. I’m sorry…. No, more than that, stop following me!”

 

Then wasn’t he trying to sneak away backwards again!

 

“Friend! Where are you going!”

 

Nabi, stay still!

 

“Don’t follow me. I warned you. I’m already annoyed to death because the Medicine isn’t wearing off…. Please just let me go quietly.”

 

Sneaking away.

 

Dash dash dash!

 

The Baseball Cap Boy who had been slowly backing away suddenly started running again.

 

And that’s when it truly began.

 

His friends no longer holding back.

 

“Hey, you stop right there! Seo-ra let’s go!”

 

“Seo-ro! Let’s catch him!”

 

“Run! Run!”

 

“Why are you suddenly running again?”

 

“Waaaaah! Friend, let’s go together!”

 

With the single goal of catching the Baseball Cap Boy, his friends started going wild like gorillas.

 

Lee Seo-ro used Telekinesis to block the Baseball Cap Boy’s path.

 

And by toppling over the storage case at that.

 

-Bang!!

 

He didn’t even blink an eye at the storage case that collapsed with a tremendous crash.

 

Moreover, Lee Seo-ra was….

 

“If we block them with fire, they’ll be too scared to escape!”

 

She surrounded everything on all sides with fire.

 

Baek Cheonji could only watch his friends’ bizarre behavior unfold before his eyes, unable to stop them. Then, barely managing to come to his senses, he tried to suggest to the remaining friends that they should stop those two, but….

 

“Good job! Lee Seo-ra! Lee Seo-ro!”

 

“Let’s catch them quickly and go home.”

 

“I want to catch butterflies too! Butterflies too!”

 

“….”

 

They didn’t seem to have any intention of doing so.

 

What should I do, is it really okay to do this? If this place becomes a mess, won’t hyung get scolded by the employees? Then, I might get scolded later too….

 

“Cheonji! Let’s go!”

 

“…!”

 

A hand grasped his again, along with warm body temperature.

 

Amidst the blazing flames, hair fluttering gently like cherry blossom petals.

 

Below it, a face that looked purely happy, as if without any worries.

 

Baek Cheonji couldn’t refuse Nabi’s hand extended to him once again.

 

And strangely, when he grasped that hand, he could feel the worries that had filled his mind disappear like magic.

 

“…Yeah!”

 

***

 

Supervisor Park, a general PR team employee who had been chasing the children with Na Hwi-yeon, screamed and collapsed to his knees on the floor.

 

“No way….”

 

They were screwed.

 

Though he didn’t know exactly, he was well aware that the value of each item stored in there was enormous.

 

Moreover, Supervisor Park knew that among the items being stored were several breakthrough items that were currently ‘unreleased’ – created by the entire Product Development Team and Research Department through tears and overtime work.

 

Items that could rake in money if only they were released to the world….

 

And among those unreleased breakthrough items, several of them were….

 

‘I was in charge of preparing the promotion for them!’

 

“I was, I was…. I had been preparing for days working overtime….”

 

His mental state was beyond broken, on the verge of being pulverized.

 

If all the items burned up, what use would promotion be….

 

“Supervisor Park!!”

 

As he was shedding tears in despair like that, someone forcefully lifted him up.

 

“…Teacher? Why….”

 

Looking up in a daze, Na Hwi-yeon was standing there, soaked from head to toe.

 

“Supervisor, please run and call for people.”

 

“…No.”

 

“I think our class kids went inside there. Please, I’m asking you.”

 

“…What about you, Teacher?”

 

Suppose he went to call for people, then what about you?

 

Na Hwi-yeon couldn’t answer Supervisor Park’s natural question. Instead, she could tell from his gaze.

 

‘Ah, this person is trying to go into that fire pit.’

 

It seemed insane. She was dumbfounded and dizzy at this hopeless man’s actions.

 

However, seeing such a crazy person made her realize that her worldly concerns weren’t even worth worrying about.

 

‘But why, only with this guy every time…!’

 

Do you remember?

 

The PR team employee who blocked Na Hwi-yeon’s personal information when the EX-grade Dungeon erupted in Neverland.

 

The only BOND employee who knew the truth behind all the rumors surrounding him.

 

Thus, the employee who had secretly pitied him realized.

 

It wasn’t that hardships occurred around this person, but rather that this crazy person threw himself headfirst into hardships.

 

“….”

 

However, Supervisor Park couldn’t stop him.

 

Instead, he let out a sigh and did something he would never have dared to do normally.

 

“…Go quickly. I’ll call people right away and come to rescue you!”

 

Supervisor Park pushed Na Hwi-yeon’s shoulder.

 

…Then, without hesitation, he entered the fire pit.

 

Supervisor Park, who had been staring blankly at that sight, staggered to his feet.

 

Then he roughly wiped his face and started running.

 

‘No matter what happens, I’ll save you! You bastard, don’t die!’
