Of course! Here's the revised version:

The sun dipped low in the sky, casting a golden hue over the quaint town that seemed frozen in time. Soyoon Jun, a devoted mother of two—Harriet, her spirited fifteen-year-old son, and Clancy, her curious and imaginative younger daughter—found herself journeying through a storm of emotions as she arrived at her childhood home. The dusty roads and quaint houses of the small town held memories that tugged at her heartstrings, even as her mind replayed the tragic events that had led her here.
The fateful crossfire had erupted on a seemingly ordinary day. Soyoon had been driving her parents to a family gathering when the violent confrontation between heroes, agents from the Central Government Agency (CGA), and mafia operatives transformed the streets into a warzone. The air was thick with the acrid smell of gunpowder, and the deafening sounds of gunfire and explosions reverberated through the narrow alleyways. Heroes clashed with mafia thugs in a symphony of chaos, while CGA agents struggled to restore order amidst the pandemonium.
Their car was caught in the crossfire, and Soyoon's heart raced with terror as she tried to navigate through the chaos. The screeching tires and blaring horns added to the cacophony, and her parents' fearful cries echoed in her ears. The pivotal moment arrived when a blinding explosion rocked their vehicle, causing it to flip over. The impact was brutal, the screech of metal twisting and the shattering of glass filled the air. Soyoon's legs were pinned beneath the twisted wreckage, leaving her immobilized and helpless.
As the dust settled, Soyoon's parents were lifeless, their faces etched with the final moments of their struggle. She was left with shattered legs and an unshakable sense of despair. Adding to her torment, her husband began to distance himself. His absence grew more conspicuous with each passing day, a void that mirrored the gaping wounds in her heart.
One evening, as Soyoon lay in her hospital bed, her heart heavy with despair, her husband entered the room. His eyes were devoid of warmth, his expression a mask of indifference. Soyoon's heart pounded as she looked at him, desperate for a glimmer of reassurance.
"I'm sorry, Soyoon," he began, his voice cold and detached. "I can't do this anymore. I need to move on with my life."
Soyoon's breath caught in her throat, her voice barely a whisper. "What do you mean? How can you leave me now, when I need you the most?"
His gaze shifted away, avoiding her pleading eyes. "I've met someone else. I need to be happy, and I can't find that happiness with you anymore."
Tears streamed down Soyoon's face as she grasped for understanding, her voice cracking with emotion. "How can you say that? After everything we've been through, everything we've built together?"
But her pleas fell on deaf ears. Without another word, he turned and walked out of the room, leaving Soyoon to drown in a sea of sorrow and betrayal. The hospital room felt colder, emptier, as the weight of abandonment pressed down on her chest, crushing her spirit.
During her painful and arduous rehabilitation, Soyoon found solace and purpose in the vision of building something meaningful from the wreckage of her life. With the help of her parents' pension and generous funds from the Hero Association and World Central Government (WGC), Soyoon channeled her grief and determination into creating an NGO. Her organization aimed to support and empower others who had faced adversity, giving them the strength and resources to rebuild their lives.
Before the crossfire, Soyoon had been a revered theory teacher at the Hero Academy for juniors. Her passion for teaching and mentoring young heroes had earned her the admiration and respect of her colleagues and students alike. However, her transition into entrepreneurship brought new challenges and opportunities. Soyoon was dedicated to rebuilding her life, yet fate seemed intent on throwing obstacle after obstacle in her path. Her admirable work attracted both ardent admirers and dangerous enemies, and she soon found herself entangled in a web of threats and blackmail.
The final straw came when her beloved son, Harriet, was kidnapped. The heart-wrenching event pushed Soyoon to make the difficult decision to leave The City behind and seek refuge in her hometown. She hoped that the small, unassuming town, with its outdated technology and slow pace of life, would offer her family the peace and safety they so desperately needed.
The journey was long and arduous. Soyoon took every precaution to ensure that no one followed them, driven by an unwavering determination to protect her children. Harriet and Clancy were both exhausted from the trip, but the relief in their eyes was unmistakable. For the first time in weeks, they felt a semblance of safety.
The house itself was a relic of her past, filled with memories of happier times. The creaking floorboards and faded wallpaper spoke of a time when life was simpler, and Soyoon's heart ached as she walked through the familiar rooms. Each corner echoed with whispers of her childhood, the laughter of family gatherings and the warmth of her parents' love. It was in this house that she had learned the values of courage and resilience, lessons that she now clung to more than ever.
As she settled into her old bedroom, Soyoon's mind raced with thoughts of the future. The threats and blackmail had not ceased, even with her departure from The City. She knew that she had to stay vigilant and protect her children at all costs. The burden of their safety weighed heavily on her shoulders, but she was determined to rise above it. She decided to head back to her family house in Sunvalley, a small backwater town, in search of solace and a fresh start.
When she arrived at her old doorstep, she felt a mix of nostalgia and anxiety. The familiar sight of the weathered wooden door and overgrown garden brought back a flood of memories. But as she reached for the doorknob, she was met with an unexpected shock. The door creaked open to reveal a stranger standing in the living room—a man with a bushy beard, dressed in a tracksuit.
"Who are you, and why are you in my parents' house?" Soyoon demanded, her voice trembling with a mixture of fear and resolve.
The stranger looked at her with a calm demeanor, his eyes reflecting a depth of understanding. "I am Kim Gyeong, legal owner of this estate, and you're stepping on private property" he replied, his voice steady and reassuring. "And you are?..."
Soyoon's heart skipped a beat. She had not expected this revelation. "What do you mean?"
