From Murim to Metropolis

After Leaving the Company

Jin Wook stepped out of Zenith Group's towering headquarters, the cool breeze hitting his face. He glanced at his watch.

(Thinking) "It's too early to go home... Might as well head to college."

With that decision, he made his way to campus.

College Cafeteria – Lunchtime

The cafeteria buzzed with chatter as students gathered around, enjoying their meals. Jin Wook walked in casually, heading straight for his usual table.

Seojin spotted him first and immediately frowned.

Seojin: "Hey, Jin Wook, what's that on your arm? Is that... blood? Did you get hurt?"

Jin Wook followed her gaze to his sleeve, noticing a faint smear of red.

(Thinking calmly) "It must be from those people at the company building..."

He looked back at Seojin and shrugged.

Jin Wook: "I don't know. Maybe it's just paint or something."

Not wanting to linger on the topic, he quickly changed the subject.

Jin Wook: "Anyway, have you eaten yet? If not, let's eat together."

Before Seojin could respond, Jae Hoon slid into the conversation.

Jae Hoon: "Hey, wait for me! I'm coming too!"

The three sat down to eat, but before they could start, an unusual commotion stirred in the cafeteria.

Dong Ha's Entrance

The doors swung open, and in stumbled Dong Ha, his arm in a sling and his head wrapped in bandages.

Students gasped and whispered among themselves.

"What happened to him?"

"Did he get into a fight?"

"Damn, he looks messed up!"

"He deserve that"

Jae Hoon raised an eyebrow, watching Dong Ha limp inside.

Jae Hoon: "What the hell? Who beat him up like that? Whatever he deserve that."

Dong Ha barely managed a few steps before his gaze landed on Jin Wook.

In that instant, a wave of terror flashed across Dong Ha's face. His breathing hitched, his pupils shrank, and in the next second—

He turned and ran.

A stunned silence followed before whispers erupted among the students.

"Did you see that?"

"Dong Ha just ran away like he saw a ghost!"

"Wait… was he scared of Jin Wook?"

Seojin: "Well, at least we don't have to worry about him causing trouble anymore."

Jae Hoon, completely lost, looked between them.

Jae Hoon: "Can someone tell me what the hell is going on?"

Jin Wook and Seojin exchanged glances before laughing.

Jin Wook: "Forget it. It's not important."

And just like that, they continued eating as if nothing had happened.

Meanwhile – Dong Ha's Desperation

Dong Ha, still panting from his frantic escape, locked himself inside an empty classroom. His hands trembled as he pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

The call connected.

Dong Ha: "Dad… you have to help me! It's about that guy!"

A deep, tired voice came from the other end.

Dong Ha's Father: "Listen carefully. Transfer to another college. Stay quiet. Do not provoke him again."

Dong Ha's face twisted in frustration.

Dong Ha: "What?! Dad, look at my condition! You can't just—"

His father interrupted, his tone growing sharp.

Dong Ha's Father: "I don't care about your condition. I'm just relieved you're still breathing. That's enough. If you mess with him again… our entire family might not survive."

Dong Ha's blood ran cold.

His lips trembled as reality sank in.

Dong Ha (terrified): "O-Okay, Dad..."

The call ended.

Dong Ha's Father (thinking): Who is that Guy, why Zenith Group is supporting him?

Here's a refined version of your scene with better flow and expression:

Jin Wook walked casually alongside Seojin and Jaye Hoon, the three of them heading down the quiet campus path. The sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows over the pavement.

Seojin hesitated before speaking, stealing a glance at Jin Wook.

Seojin: "I told Jaye Hoon about what happened to Dong Ha."

Jaye Hoon, who had been sipping his drink, nearly choked in shock.

Jaye Hoon: "Wait—what?! You're telling me Jin Wook is the one who beat Dong Ha into that miserable state?"

He turned to Jin Wook, disbelief written all over his face.

Jaye Hoon: "Are you serious? You're not messing with me, right?"

Jin Wook, keeping his usual calm demeanor, simply shrugged.

Jin Wook: "Does it really matter?"

Jaye Hoon blinked, then let out a nervous laugh.

Jaye Hoon: "Well… I mean, I knew you were strong, but damn—Dong Ha looked like he got run over by a truck!"

Seojin giggled at Jaye Hoon's exaggerated reaction.

Seojin: "Trust me, you should've seen his face when he ran away after spotting Jin Wook in the cafeteria. I swear he was terrified."

Jaye Hoon shook his head in amazement.

Jaye Hoon: "Man… remind me to never get on your bad side, Jin Wook."

As they continued walking, the conversation shifted to lighter topics, but Jaye Hoon couldn't shake off his curiosity.

Jaye Hoon (thinking): Just how strong is Jin Wook, really?

Evening – Jin Wook's Home

After returning from college, Jin Wook went straight to his room. He crossed his legs on the floor and closed his eyes, diving into deep cultivation, letting his energy circulate through his body. His breathing was steady, his mind focused, sharpening his strength further.

Time passed quickly.

A familiar voice broke his concentration.

Jin Wook's Mom: "Jin Wook! Dinner is ready, come down!"

Opening his eyes, he let out a slow breath before getting up and heading downstairs.

Family Dinner

Jin Wook's mother and younger sister were already seated at the dining table, waiting.

A moment later, the doorbell rang.

Jin Wook's father entered, carrying multiple shopping bags, his face beaming with excitement.

Jin Wook's Dad: "Honey! The false accusations were cleared, and the person responsible is now behind bars! And—guess what? As compensation, I got a promotion for all my years of service!"

Jin Wook's mom smiled warmly, relief evident in her eyes.

Jin Wook's Mom: "I always knew you would never do something wrong. I'm so happy!"

Jin Wook, observing the joy on his parents' faces, simply nodded.

Jin Wook: "That's great, Dad. Now, let's eat."

His father chuckled, setting down the bags.

Jin Wook's Dad: "Yes, yes! But wait, I also brought something special for tonight!"

The family gathered around the table, enjoying a rare moment of warmth and laughter as they shared their meal.

After Dinner

As they finished, Jin Wook's father wiped his hands and spoke.

Jin Wook's Dad: "Tomorrow is the weekend. Your mom and I are planning to visit the orphanage to make a donation."

Jin Wook's mind flashed to memories of his parents visiting the orphanage whenever something good happened in their lives.

Jin Wook (thinking): Right… Mom and Dad have always liked giving back whenever we have something to celebrate.

Jin Wook: "Then let's all go together."

His father grinned proudly.

Jin Wook's Dad: "That's my son!"

Jin Wook's mom smiled warmly before glancing at the clock.

Jin Wook's Mom: "Alright, it's getting late. You two should head to bed now."

Jin Wook nodded, excusing himself and heading upstairs.
