Chapter 3 - Searching for Nothing

"How's the party?" Han Moon Bin asked just after Prince got inside the room they are in. Prince couldn't speak because of what he is seeing. The four of them are born to be weapons and trained to be serious. Yet, they are making origami.

"Don't stare at us like that. How's the party?" Han Moon Bi asked seriously. Prince stopped what he is doing and answered, "Good... as you know, I only ate an apple."

Han Moon Bi nodded and resumed to his work. Prince was more amazed to the person who told them to make origami. The four of them are treated like VIP here. They only do what they are born for and things like this are not what they are born for.

Han Mon Bin saw him staring like this and explained, "Master Red told us to make origami. The best one should be brought by you to the outside world. The maker of the origami brought by you will be awarded by a month of freedom."

Prince understood what he is telling him. Now, he knew why are they so serious about making origami. Their freedom depends on the works. Even if it is just a month, it's enough for people like them who only go out because of missions.

"Father will choose from your works? " Prince the asked with pity for the first time. It hurts him seeing that people who grew up with him doesn't have freedom at all. Yes, his father is very strict, stricter than anyone else. However, he still had small freedom remaining for him.

The four of them didn't answer so he asked again, "Who will choose?"

Mun Bi, stood up and faced him. He leaned on the wall and replied ,"It's you Prince. You will be the one who will choose."

He nearly dropped on the ground. Red is really playing with them. Why would Prince be the one who will choose? It's like he is playint also with their freedoms. "Why do I need to choose? Why don't you stop making and burn all those already made so that I no longer have choices?"

"I know that you can't choose from us..." Moon Bi talked once again and stopped what he is doing. He faced Prince and resumed, "If we fail to make something, we won't see the sun for a year. If we fail to amaze you, we won't eat for a month in addition."

"Sorry..." Prince could only apologize. The reason why the four of them are thirsty for freedom is to search for their families. However, Prince already knew their backgrounds since his father told him.

There was once four pregnant women inside the organization. They decided to use their babies as weapons so they injected series of DNA inside the mother. However, days passed and they found out that this slowly kills the mother and they will eventually die after they give birth.

The fathers of the four babies heard this and tried to barge inside the laboratory only to be killed by the assassins who coincidentally wants to gets inside the laboratory. This fact was kept away from the four mothers until they gave birth and perished.

So basically, the four of them are searching for nothing. Every officials inside the organization knows this but stays quiet. Once the four fathers disappeared back then, they spread a rumor that they did a mission.

"... I came here to tell me farewell but end up doing this." Prince added.

"Don't be... we will be happy if you're happy there." Moon Bin told him. Prince nodded and left the room. His heart doesn't have any place for emotions but when it comes to people important to him, his heart is open.

Soon after, he got inside his enormous room. Even if it is big, only a , thick and soft matress was inside together with a big flat-screen TV and a computer set.

Just as he expected, his clothes are now packed. A black luggage was lying next to his mattress.

He doesn't want to open the luggage so he decided to look inside his walk in closet. He couldn't find five pairs of his shoes and nearly a hundred designer clothes. All of his favorite stuffs are gone!

"I don't think I will only bring one luggage." He mumbled and rushed towards his matress. If numerous clothes were gone from his closet, not only one but it can be five luggae he will bring. But what is inside the luggage?

His grip tightened on the zipper of the luggage. He once recieved a luggage like this and what's inside is unimaginable. Tightly closing his eyes, he opened the luggage. He could smell the scent of papers which made him surprised.

"Father!" Prince nearly cried seeing what's inside the bag. Complete set of drawing materials that he had been dreaming to have. Since young, he always showed interest in arts. However, his father is very strict that he never wants him to have a hobby. Thus, he forbid him from buying art materials.

Yet Prince's perseverance can't be underestimated. Using only an ordinary pencil and paper, he made excellent works that he destroys after making them so that his father wouldn't see his hobby.

"Is this what they call happiness? " Prince savored every scent of the materials while slowly opening them. He never had art materials but he knew every piece since he studied them.

Taking a piece of blank paper. He used his new materials and drew a person. A person that made him realize the meaning of importance. A person that took him into care despite his age. A person that will never be a stranger for him. He drew his father following the image inside his heart.
