Reo walks straight and then turns right. There is an old-rusted lift with dirt sticking on the the panal buttons. He claps once and the lift opens. He walks into the lift making sure that he or his clothes don't touch the outside panel or the door. The inside of the lift was extremely clean. The lift was purposely left dirty from outside, so that it wouldn't look as if it worked. Even if someone pressed the buttons, the lift wouldn't open. Reo presses the "-1" button. The lift asks for a password, on entering which it opens in the basement. As soon as the lift opens into the basement, the lights get turned on. There were six cars in the basement.
"Lemon, bring the car with the pin 568." Reo says.
"Starting your car Aden.",a voice speaks from the ceilings.
The third car moves forward, and comes in Reo's direction, stopping a metre away from him. He takes his seat in the car.
"Hello Mr.Ken." The car says. As soon as he sits a screen is projected on the wind screen of the car.
"Aden, tell Lemon I am leaving."He says.
"Ok, telling Lemon to turn off the lights." Aden replies. The headlights turn on and the basement lights switch off.
"Aden, drive me to the Ken mansion through the fastest route." He says.
"Ok, Enabling auto-driving mode." Aden replies. The shutter of the basement opens, and Adden moves through a ramp which opens near Hinsing Academy.
"Aden wake me up 30 second before reaching." He says and closes his eyes trying to prepare himself for the disaster he would be facing at home.
"Ok" Aden replies. The roads were pretty clear as it was late in night. It moves through a series of roads.When it comes to the three leg-intersection, cars appear from the opposite direction, from the three roads. Aden stops. Even though it stops without a jerk, Reo is drifted out of his sleep.
"Damn these, can't even let me sleep." Reo says.
"Aden, click their pictures, capture the car plate numbers and then ignore them. Continue to the destination." He continues.
"Ok, Pictures clicked, synced with your phone. Now, ignoring them." Aden says.
The car headlights switch off and it starts moving. The cars in the front gets puzzled to see him moving towards them instead of stopping. When Aden reaches 30 m near the car on the left side, a person shoots from the car on Aden's tire.
A hole appears in the tire, seeing which the person laughs, but almost immediately, the tire material heals itself. The person gets puzzled as the car doesn't stop. It scares him as the car wasn't stopping and was now just a few metres away from crashing into his car. The other two drivers turn their cars towards Aden, accelearating to crash it. When it is barely a few metres away from the main cars, it suddenly turns right. The cars aren't able to turn a sharply like Aden, so they try to put the breaks, but end up crashing into the other car.
Aden continues to move. Reo smiles as he looks at the crashed cars through the rear car camera.
KEN MANSION, South Korea
"Come,sit. You remain pretty busy these days."Mr. Ken says.
"Yes, father."Reo says. He walks in the room closing the door behing him. He sits on the the sofa seat on the right side of the table.
"Seeing you work like this, makes me want to retire."Mr. Ken says laughing.
"Your mother's always worried about you, call her once in a while."Mr. Ken continues.
"Yes, father."Reo says.
"You already look ready for the responsibilities. I can see the magnate in you."He says smiling. He pauses and continues. "I would like to give you some of my thoughts."Mr. Ken says. He removes his glasses. He bends to the table to keep them.
"Business is sailing close to the wind. You have to hold the rope carefully or it will cut your fingers.Through the waves, you can know about the wind."He says.
"No matter how successful you are today, always have a next in your pipeline."He says.
"Don't depend on anyone too much, even your shadow leaves you in the dark."He says looking away from him.
"Don't burn bridges, you might have to walk on them later."He says looking back at him.
"I hope you understood what I am tying to tell you, Nay?" He asks.
"Yes father."Reo says.
YP ENTERTAINMENT, Seoul
Zeal shuffles in his sleep hitting his hand on the keyboard which knocks him out of his sleep. Groaning and moving his body to have a comfortable position, he slumps down the chair. He stretches his neck, it hurt badly.
Did I fall asleep like this? Was my table clear like this before I slept? Did I close the door? Was this paper here before I slept? Am I imagining things? Am I still dreaming? He thinks.
He pours himself a glass of water. He gulps it down painfully, he was sure his nechkwas broken.
He tries to concentrate on shutting down the computer. There was a yellow block-note stuck to the screen. The mouse was warm indicating that the computer has been open for a long time now.He plucks it out. He reads it,
'Sorry to enter without your permission, but please read this paper. (sent by director)'.
Suddenly, someone knocks at the door. He puts the note in his pocket. He opens the door lazily and watches the person standing in front of him.
"I suppose you were sleeping..?" His manager asks. Straightening his posture, one of his hands supporting his neck, he bows a little.
"Ah yes. I didn't know I was asleep...?" Zeal answers awkwardly, trying to hold his neck.
"Well, I've come to pick you up." The manager smiles, "Follow me. I'll drop you by my car."
Zeal mouths yes and like an obedient child, he hurriedly goes back to grab his phone, jacket and the document. Closing the door, he starts to follow the manager. He sure was awake now.
'Her?' He thought while on his way to the car. He wasn't really sure who would've entered while he was sleeping inside the studio. The only who knew his studio's password apart form him was...
"Sua..?" Zeal thought loud .
"Yes?" The manager says suddenly stoping and looking back at him.
"Ah! Nothing...I was just talking to myself." Zeal cleared up the misunderstanding and went on to open the car's door which he had reached by now.
He sits in the back seat of the car. He takes out the note, and reads it again. He then looks at the document. It squints his eyes to read the words written on the document. The document had the title,
'Visa formalities'
