a few days later...

" this is the last day we're mourning for him. we do not qualify to shed a teardrop for him until we find that jerk and let CHEOLJUNG go in peace. do you understand? "

JANGMUL talks to the counters, who were all solemn and emotionless, especially JUNWON.

the junior still blamed herself for CHEOLJUNG's death, his death made a huge impact on her and the other counters knew it.

silence filled the room once again as JANGMUL was drinking a shot of soju, MOTAK spoke.

" he was a level three "

JANGMUL stopped and looked at him.

" he even uses psychokinesis "

MOTAK added.

" that means he went up to level three a while ago "

JANGMUL says.

" why didn't we have any idea until he got up to level three? "

MOTAK questions, making eye contact with everyone except JUNWON.

" we come across an exceptional one once in a blue moon. can you find his location? i'm sure you read his mind "

the retail ceo asks HANA and JUNWON in particular.

knowing that JUNWON wasn't going to answer, HANA spoke for both of them.

" i couldn't "

HANA replies to his question.

" and you haven't seen how many souls he captured? "

HANA nods as a response.

" but CHEOLJUNG definitely got captured, right? "

MOTAK asks no one in particular.

then silence again, until JUNWON finally spoke.

" he was...i saw his soul get consumed by the evil spirit "

JUNWON responds, making everyone look at her.

" what happened to WI-GEN? "

MS. CHU asks JANGMUL, her question gaining the attention of JUNWON and other counters.

" oh, WI-GEN... "

he paused for a bit before continuing.

" i heard she found this splendid guy and dramatically survived "

he tells everyone like how you read a fantasy book to a kid.

" a splendid guy? "

MS. CHU and JUNWON's curiosity grows.

" yes. it's quite uncanny. he wasn't even in a coma. she went into this guy who was walking around fine in one piece "

JANGMUL states, the last sentence making the counters confused.

" what? can someone who isn't in a coma become a counter? "

HANA asks him, not believing it at all.

" maybe? isn't that what happened with JUNWON and JEONGHAN? "

MS. CHU mentions the youngest counter and her yung partner.

" i heard my name "

speaking of the devil, well, angel, technically, but the other yung individuals and the counters agree that JEONGHAN is similar to a devil. ( as a joke of course )

" not you JEONGHAN... "

JUNWON says out loud, catching the attention of her teammates.

" JEONGHAN-oppa heard his name, it's nothing so don't worry "

she assures them, receiving multiple nods from the counters.

" but JUNWON was injured wasn't she? "

MOTAK recalls the day JUNWON was announced to join them as a counter.

" yeah, JUNWON and the new counter are both quite similar and different "

JANGMUL replies.

" WI-GEN said that kid was filled with energy. once she slipped into his body, she couldn't even take all the energy he had in him! "

yeah he's definitely story telling now.

" just like JEONGHAN and JUNWON... "

HANA softly lets out, taking a glance at the said girl.

" he has anger and passion all piled up. she said no one will be able to take him once he blows up! "

JANGMUL expressively says.

all the counters knew what the other was thinking.

" just like JEONGHAN and JUNWON. "

it was like deja vu, JEONGHAN and JUNWON all over again.

everyone looked at each other, the hope of them being able to defeat more powerful evil spirits was increasing because of this new counter.

JUNWON was really interested in knowing who this 2.O of her is.

" MOTAK, try to make something out of him. we have to catch that jerk who ate CHEOLJUNG up. we need that kid. let's make this work "

JANGMUL says with a determined voice, taking a shot of soju right after.

all of the counters stared at CHEOLJUNG's picture in the middle of the table.

JUNWON was motivated to capture that evil spirit and free CHEOLJUNG from him.

this new counter JANGMUL was talking about sounded like the person that they needed to achieve what they wanted.

in yung...

" HAN-oppa, this new counter...what's his name? "

JUNWON questions her yung partner.

" SO MUN, i think that's what WI-GEN said his name was "

JEONGHAN responds.

" that name sounds familiar... "

JUNWON says in her mind.

" is he around my age? "

JUNWON asks him again.

" yeah, i think he actually goes to your school- "

JEONGHAN replies, pointing his finger in realization.

" i know who he is, thanks HANNIE! "

" you're welcome- wow. and she just leaves? the audacity of this girl... "

" you do know i can still hear you right? "

" oh. right- "
