To Get The Power To Protect Someone

Ms. Chaeyoon appeared and called all of us into another room. She led us upstairs, to a room on the second floor.

Mr. Park told us to get some rest. We would be leaving early in the morning.

He warned us that the GID was not far behind, maybe just a few hours away. If we stayed in one place too long, we'd be caught. It was only a matter of time.

Suhee looked a little down, and Sad.
