That dawn
예원
Ugh... Ugh...
소정
Yes... Yewon...
예원
Oh... you're still awake.
소정
Your body...
예원
Ah... it's okay.
Yewon began to treat herself with the first aid kit in the corner of the room. She seemed quite skilled.
소정
Hey... sorry... sorry... heh heh... even if I hadn't done that...
예원
Stop. Why are you sorry? Why are you feeling guilty about my choices?
소정
But I was the one who provided the cause...
예원
You attacked a customer... But I don't know if you heard it before, but the owner said it was the same as when I first started working there.
예원
I know. That wasn't an attack, it was a struggle for survival... I understand...
소정
Life here will somehow get better... like you...
예원
I guess so. But I hope you don't adapt to this place. I hope you don't adapt and just leave.
소정
I wonder if that'll work... I saw today that the security was really tight...
예원
Of course it will be. Don't get stuck here like me. Live freely.
소정
thanks...
So days passed, weeks, months, and eventually years.
Now, Sojeong is slowly getting used to life here.
One night
소정
Yewon... Yewon!! Wake up quickly
예원
why...
소정
Let's escape
예원
what!?
소정
fizzle...
예원
You're escaping?!
소정
Okay, come quickly. I've figured out the guard's patrol pattern. Now we can go.
예원
......
Yewon knew this attempt wouldn't succeed. But the thrill of excitement overtook reason, and she rose from her seat before she could even think about it.
As expected, the security was tight and the two were chased for a long time before finally being caught at the end of the road.
숍 주인
Oh my, who is this? It's our shop's best product and his friend.
숍 주인
No matter how good the product is, if a human tries to escape, it's poison if left alone.
Yewon had a gut feeling. No one could escape here... and if she did well, at least one person could survive...
예원
Sojeong, take this.
Yewon handed me a heavy envelope.
예원
Sojeong, run!
소정
?...!!!
예원
Run, hurry up!!
예원
You have to live too!!
예원
Run. Run without looking back.
소정
Huh... huh...
So-jeong knew. Ye-won was willing to sacrifice herself for her...
So-jeong ran. At the fastest speed she'd ever run in her life... With all her might... she ran.
Behind them, several gunshots rang out along with Yewon's screams.
But So-jeong ran. If she was caught, Ye-won's death would have been in vain.
I guess miracles don't happen after all... So-jeong runs away and is soon caught.
숍 주인
Let him live. But lock him in the prison in the basement.
Even while being dragged away, he kept the envelope that Yewon had given him in his pocket.
