51 49: Inspiration

•~•~•~•~•~•~•

In an undisclosed location...

A door was opened, and a muscular man, wearing a Dog Mask entered a bright room. In that room was another person, wearing a mask bearing some semblance of a horse.

"Horse, how is it?" asked 'Dog'.

"They're coming along great, Sir. Just a few more tests and we can definitely use this..." 'Horse' answered timidly, holding a vial of red fluid.

'Dog' nodded in understanding and said, "Great. And, once they are finished, the boss has something in mind for it."

"Understood..."

'Dog' left the room, and thought, 'I wonder how the "Weapon" is doing. Well, 'he' is there to keep an eye on the "Weapon", so he's probably fine...'

In Korea...

A young man could be seen lying on the grassy ground, looking at the stars in the sky, while deep in thought.

'What should I do next? I already finished my Awakened Animal Project... Should I go back to the Academy, now? Hmm, but I still have four months left of "vacation" time... I should make the most of it, plus if I go back now, I'll miss Jiyoung~.' he thought with a grin.

"I suppose I could always make another Awakened Animal and spar them against each other." the teen muttered.

'Heh, they'd be like my own Pokemon... But, how would I make sure that they're as loyal as Thaddeus and Scotus?'

The young man was taken out of his thoughts when he heard a familiar voice,

"What the hell are you doing on the ground, Oppa?"

Shinji raised his head, and there he saw Subin entering the gates, wearing her usual outfit, but she looked irritated. Seeing that it was just her, he sat up.

"Eh, just thinking. What about you? Are you mad or something?" he asked in a concerned tone.

"I just came back from a restaurant. And, I'm mad that, that glasses-wearing asshole refused to come with the other members out for lunch," she answered with a deep frown.

Her answer seemed to catch Shinji's attention as he stood up. He then asked her with a taunting smile, "Hoh~ You invited that Wooin kid out to a date? Wow, I didn't know that my sister was that bold."

"Shut up! I didn't ask him out on a date! It was supposed to be an ice breaker lunch for him and the other Union Members! Plus, he's not even my type." she shouted angrily.

"Oh! Really?" he said, putting a finger on his mouth, and continued with a sigh, "What reason did he give you? He must have something..."

An angry tick mark appeared on Subin's forehead, as she shouted, "Hmph, yeah. He said he needed to go to fucking school!"

"Ooh, studies first? That's a bad way to get rejected, sis." he answered in a playful tone.

"Fuck you!" Subin just left, but not after shouting, "Just- Go die already, bastard!"

"Yep, yep, I love you too, sis."

After the girl left, Shinji just went back to lying on the ground.

'Now going back to the topic, of what I should do next... I could always get stronger, train my other Force Controls, and shit... But, eh, I dunno, I only feel like training them when I'm in the Academy...'

"I wonder how Gramps is doing in his vacation..." he mutters.

He widens his eyes and sits up.

'Speaking of Force Controls... I think I know what to do next!' he shouted inwardly.

...

The next day, he immediately goes to the Shinhwa Building...

After climbing a few flights of stairs, Shinji could see Inhyuk leaving the Chairwoman's Office.

"Ah, Shinji! What brings you here?" Inhyuk asks him.

"Good morning, Inyuk. Can you show me your Force Control?" the teen asks bluntly.

"What?! You know that it's not allowed, Sh-"

"Alright then, see you later." Shinji cuts him off and walks away hurriedly.

'... That was... weird...' the man comments.

The teen then enters Jiyoung's Office.

"Hey, Jiyoung."

"Shinji?"

"I want you to show me something... Show it to me..." the teen tells her bluntly.

[A/N: (☉_☉)]

"Show... what, exactly?" she asks in a weird tone.

"Your Force Control," he replies.

"You kn-"

Before she could finish her sentence, Shinji cuts her off, "I know that it's not normally done between people from different groups, but it's not like you're going to teach the Shinhwa Force Control to me. You're just going to... demonstrate. Please..." he says with pleading eyes.

She sighs and looks him in the eye, "Why do you want to see it?"

"For inspiration."

"Sigh, alright. But, if you ever tell anyone that I showed you my Force Control, I'll..." she trailed off, but she quickly adds, "be angry at you."

She stood up, and faced Shinji, while he placed his hand on her back, inserting his energy.

"You can start now, Jiyoung," he informs her, and both close their eyes.

The young man could feel her energy, and start moving, just like most Force Controls. But, what separates hers, is the fact that she only guides the energy throughout her body, and does not manually move it. In other words, her energy moves freely like the wind.

...

This went on for a few minutes...

"That's... Yeah, I have an idea now." the teen voices out as he opens his eyes.

"Is that all?" she questions.

"Yes, but I'm really thankful that you showed it to me," Shinji tells her with a grateful smile.

"You're welcome. I guess you could count this as 'thanks' for the other day." Jiyoung tells him, slightly smiling.

"Oh... I'm going to go now... But, I can't wait to do that again soon, Jiyoung." he replies with a charming smile.

...

Leaving the building, he gets in his car.

'Now, I have an idea! An idea on how to create my own Force Control...!'
