Remember

EP. 3

After finishing their shopping, Gon and Hyo returned to their lodging. As they entered Gon's room, a sound appeared from somewhere.

음

Brother... Matsunoya bar at 10 tonight

After hearing the story, Gon and Hyo looked at each other quietly and nodded.

As darkness fell, the Matsunoya bar was bustling with activity as Japanese police officers gathered for a dinner party.

Japanese police officers drank and talked to each other about the independence activists they had captured, boasting about their bravery and saying, "I'm great, you're great too." Among them were many Koreans who wore Japanese uniforms and spoke Japanese.

On the second floor of a bustling store, two men in black masks looked at the Japanese police officers from the stairs, and someone shouted.

일본순사

Who the hell are you?!

They quietly shouted "Long live Korean independence" and then shot the Japanese police officers. The drunken police officers fell one by one without a chance to fight back, and then one of them aimed his gun at the masked ones.

일본순사

You bastard!!!

At that moment, a window broke and a bullet flew from outside the building, hitting a Japanese policeman in the head and causing him to fall.

The bar was stained with blood, and the two masked men, having confirmed that no one was moving, suddenly disappeared.

The next day, the area in front of Matsunoya was bustling with police officers investigating the shooting incident that occurred the night before and people looking to watch.

일본순사

Again?

The investigation team was left bewildered by the mass murders of so many Japanese police officers in the past few months, unable to find even a trace of the culprit.

Eum stood in the midst of a large crowd, quietly observing the scene, and then disappeared at some point.

Eum was walking along the market street when she stopped in front of a stall with flowers hanging down.

음

Please give me a lotus flower

감

Welcome! The lotus you brought last time is growing well, right?! Since you're a regular, I prepared a slightly larger pot this time~ Thank you as always! Ah! This was a bit difficult to get, but try planting it when you get home. ㅎㅎㅎ

After accepting the seed packet Gam gave, Eum pretended not to know each other and paid for the items, exchanged a brief greeting, and then resumed walking.

The negative room was always curtained, so it was difficult to tell day from night without turning on the light. However, in the one spot where light came in, there were so many flowers growing in one corner of the room that it looked like a flower garden.

Eum returned to her lodging and began to repot the flower pot she had just bought. She pulled out the withered flowers and made room for new ones. Then, she took the flowers out of the pot she had received and found a bunch of bullets and a gun that had been placed underneath the flowers.

He lived as a flower merchant and provided weapons to the youth group.

The flower language of the lotus flowers they exchanged is 'patriotism', symbolizing the youth group.

Instead of discarding the flowers used to receive weapons, Yin grew lotus flowers, wishing for independence. The flowers grew for quite a long time without withering.

After planting the lotus flower, I was trying to organize the flowerpot I received when I remembered the seeds that the persimmon had given me. I filled the flowerpot I was about to organize with new soil, planted the seeds that the persimmon had given me, and placed it in the sunniest spot.

And I wished that I could see what kind of flower this seed was before I die...

Unlike the front of Gyeongseong, which looks lively with people bustling around and trams passing by,

If you go a little further into the alley, there are poor people living there. They have no home and live on the streets. Some have lost their parents and live only with their children. It is not easy to live there either, and many of them are dying.

A child was starving and unable to move, and a girl who appeared to be the child's older sister was feeding him something with a bowl.

It was plain water without a single grain of rice...

The child who appeared to be the older sister was shedding tears and pouring some into her younger brother's mouth, telling him to eat it, but the younger brother didn't have the energy to swallow it, so it just flowed out of his mouth.

Someone spoke affectionately to the two children.

백

Let's try this soup instead of water...

The girl saw the white paper and couldn't say a word, but just shed tears.

백

You haven't eaten anything for the past few days either.... Here's your meal

When Baek handed the rice ball to the girl, she began to shovel it into her mouth in a hurry. When Baek fed the rice ball she had prepared to her younger sibling, the younger sibling also began to move little by little.

At that moment, the girl suddenly stopped eating and started shivering at the sound of someone's voice.

Beggar: Hey!!! You told us to bring food to you first!!!!

Several adult beggars threatened the children by kicking the buckets around them, and the children did not eat for several days because of these people.

Baek stood in front of the terrified girl and looked sharply at the beggars.

백

........ who are you guys...... shut up......

The beggars flinched at Baek's gaze and left, saying they would wait and see, while Baek stayed by the children's side to ensure they had a meal.

백

I'm sorry... I should come here more often... I don't think I'll be able to come for a long time... Hide well and eat well until I come back, okay??

Beggar: Officer!! Here it is!!! That guy is very suspicious!!!

Beggars reported suspicious-looking people on the street to the Japanese police, and the police arrested them, suppressing the independence movement. Thanks to this, adult beggars were able to eat their fill. On days when they couldn't find anyone suspicious, they plundered children to fill their stomachs.

The beggars were excited at the thought of filling their bellies again today, but the policeman was embarrassed when he saw Baek.

일본순사

Oh my gosh;;; Hello;;;;

백

Hello, I know you've had a hard time.... What brings you here, Officer?

The policeman who recognized Baek greeted him, and the beggars were embarrassed when they saw him.

일본순사

Hey you guys!! Do you know who that is?!!! You guys almost got me in trouble!!! Hahahaha I'll give these guys a good scolding;;

A Japanese policeman disappeared with a group of beggars. Baek was a famous person, so famous that even ordinary Japanese policemen knew his face.

백

They've seen my face, so they won't be coming near me for a while... You have to stay healthy~

After making sure the children were satisfied, Baek left the place.

A high-end coffee shop in Gyeongseong... overflowing with not only Japanese but also foreigners.

There, a beautiful piano melody was playing, and Yang was enjoying playing the piano, smiling brightly with a drink.

When the performance ended, the people applauded, Lee got up from the piano and greeted the people, and Yang smiled faintly at the sight.

After the performance, Lee came out onto the streets of Gyeongseong and quietly approached Baek.

리

I told you not to come to the store because it's dangerous...

양

Hey~ This is money that my brother worked hard to earn, so I should come~

리

Are you going far this time??

양

Yeah~ The teacher said we should go to America this time.....

리

Don't get hungry, since I put in a lot of food for you~ Take good care of your teacher~ Let's meet again in good health~

양

......Yeah! Hyung~ Thank you~ Let's meet again for sure~ Got it?

Lee also smiled at the sheep's bright smile.

건

Welcome 😊 (Welcome)

건

It's been a while, Hirata-san 😊

일본순사

I'm going to meet Himura this time, so please wear nice clothes.

Geon is a famous tailor in downtown Gyeongseong. Despite his young age, he is known for his business acumen, and he is famous not only among the Japanese but also among high-ranking Japanese officials, to the point that all of them wear clothes made at Geon's tailor shop.

건

Himura-sama.... I understand.

Hamura is a high-ranking figure in Japan who helped arrest and suppress independence activists to prevent the Korean Empire from becoming independent. Gun asked Himura when and where he would be arriving, and the Japanese police officer told Gun without thinking.

Gun copied the information he received onto paper and prepared to go out.

Gun entered a quiet alley. Someone was walking from the opposite direction. Gun and the other person bumped shoulders, apologized, and left the alley.

Gun returned to the store and unfolded the note.

The person I bumped into in the alley was an independence activist, and in the meantime, I got information about Himura... The other person exchanged notes with me detailing what the youth association should do.

A knocking sound was heard from the window of the room. Eum slightly opened the curtain and saw a pigeon.

After looking around, Eum untied the note tied to the pigeon's leg. The pigeon flew away immediately.

Late at night... Today again, the bar was bustling with Japanese police officers, and two masked men appeared, dealt with the people in the bar, and then came out.

Suddenly, several gunshots were fired at the masked men, and one of them was hit in the waist.

omg........

Although he was taken aback by the sudden attack and was in excruciating pain, he held his wounds without groaning and quickly ran away with the help of another person.

일본순사

The culprit has been shot, please catch him!

Today's incident was a false report from the Japanese side to catch them. They waited for the culprit who killed the Japanese police officers inside the bar to come out and then attacked them.

A lot of blood flowed from the wound, and he thought that running away was impossible, so he hid the wounded man in a safe place and used a knife to stab himself in the waist, injuring himself.

곤

Umm... I guess this is the only way right now... While I lure them away, you take Hyo to a safe place...

Sound appeared from somewhere and nodded, and Gon ran in the opposite direction, bleeding, causing the Japanese police to chase him.

Hyogwa couldn't say a word as he watched Gon's back. He had been trained to hide his emotions during his five years of firearms training in Shanghai.

With the help of Yin, Hyo escaped the place.

one side.....

Gon, clutching a wound in his side, ran away until he came to a dead end. Japanese police officers were chasing him and aimed their guns at him.

일본순사

Don't move!!!

Gon raised his hands in surrender, and the police rushed in and arrested him.

일본순사

The other one seems to have run away!

일본순사

You couldn't have gone far!!! Search thoroughly!!!

Gon was dragged away, and the police searched the area, but Hyo and Eum were already in hiding.

Hyo and Um are hidden somewhere underground...

Immediately, Gam came running in with startled eyes.

감

No;;; What is this??? This has never happened before;;;;

음

I think the Japanese side tried to catch us... We got caught in the act... I'll tell Gun about this. Please take care of your sister.

감

Wait... but what about Gun???

Eum glanced at Hyo and shook her head. Gam seemed to notice and didn't say anything.

감

Hyoya..... I think the bullet went in too deep. It's going to hurt a lot to get it out....... Keep this in your mouth.

For the independence activists, obtaining firearms or medicine was not easy. Gam gave Hyo a muzzle.

Hyo took a deep breath, biting his tongue, and gave a signal to Gam.

The one who received the signal used sterilized forceps to insert the gun into the wound, and Hyo endured it while trembling.

감

Found it!!

When Gam pulled the bullet out of Hyo's body, Hyo fainted.
