Jumping off a bridge.

These last days I was trying and trying again and again to reach my ki center. It bore little result, I can see that I am coming closer and closer to it, I just need a little step in the right direction and then I would be able to... *Sigh*, maybe my anxiousness is what is stopping me from finding it.

On these days that I was overly focused on trying to reach my Ki center to finally start cultivating, the world didn't stop due to my struggle, on the contrary, it seems to rotate even faster.

I didn't pay attention much to Shi-Woon these days, during classes I mostly focused my [Sharingan] on Chun-Woo trying to profile him, and maybe learn a new thing or the other. Besides that I didn't do much more, the rest of my time was spent trying to reach my Ki center.

And while I was preoccupied with my problems Shi-Woon had a lot on his plate too, Sadly I wasn't able to accompany him and witness those events, but something even if I was distracted and preoccupied with my Ki center was unavoidable to not see.

Like when he was despairing a bit went to the top floor and was thinking about killing himself. Fuck that incident is equal parts sad and equal parts funny. He went there and was quite indecisive but Chun-Woo was there too flirting with a female teacher, he interrupted then and Chun-Woo kicks Shi-Woon making he hold the border to not fall, but the grid was quite old and broke making both of then start to fall, Chun-Woo saves the day by princess carrying Shi-Woon.

I've not seen anything of course but I know these events from the manga, what I was able to see was just the vice-principal broken car, that was something that made a lot of noise so of course, I saw the results. That was something that removed me from my stupor for a moment, I knew the world won't stop for me so I need to start cultivating fast.

That day I went with more enthusiasm towards finding my Ki center, it was the first progress I had in this three day period, I wasn't able to but I am catching glimpses of it.

The second day was pretty much the same, I was able to see Shi-Woon and Chun-Woo talking a bit at the bench, this should be the time where Shi-Woon tries to somewhat blackmail the Goomoonryong? stupid I know. But I guess the Shi-Woon right now just want to be taught how to fight like the cool teacher. Now that I think about it he has never seen me fighting, so for him, I must be just some 1.95 meters tall buff dude that talks strangely... Now that I think about it I must look extremely weird to most of these people... and now that I think about it Wei is my only friend.

Fuck. I wasn't able to guess it, I was simply too busy with other things that I forgot to live my life a bit, but I guess I can save my mother first before doing anything about my social life.

This was also the day Shi-Woon finally grow some spine and fights back, sadly he was quite an amateur at fighting and got beaten up, Chun-Woo helps him but I don't remember much of what happens, I know there is something that ends with him on the hospital, but I don't remember what.

Didn't he jump off a bridge? I remember that Chun-Woo eventually saves him but I know there are some changes due to my presence... Fuck I don't want to kill the guy, even if indirectly. I kind of know the bridge he will jump from, I guess I still have some time to get there.

I run towards that place as fast as I could, I don't want a totally avoidable death in my conscience yet again... Some flashes of blood and bodies... Fuck they kidnaped you stop feeling sorry for it, you were only defending yourself even if you weren't in your best mental state, you were just defending yourself.

While trying to coax myself I reached the bridge and Shi-Woon has just jumped. Chun-Woo looks surprised but he appears to enter the same indecision that almost cost Shi-Woon life in cannon.

Seeing him jump I jump after him to maybe help a little bit, I don't know if I should've done something more... maybe things could have been a little different, sometimes si feel that if just broke that Chang-Ho teeth none would be in this kind of situation.

Chun-Woo looking at two people jumping off a bridge can only look surprised and say:

"Fuck there are two of them now."(Chun-Woo).

Then he jumps after us. This is becoming a fucking mess...

Sadly Shi-Woon still lost consciousness and we had to carry him to the hospital, the situation was incredibly awkward for both of us, I had never talked to Chun-Woo besides the normal classes.

"So why were both of you one a bridge?"(Jin).

"Well... Theis little man here was trying to prove his will to me."(Chun-Woo).

"Did he do it?"(Jin).

"You bet..."(Chun-Woo)

We were in the hospital room Shi-Woon was out cold, the medics said he was okay and just a bit of rest and he will be 100% again. Now that I think about it he probably lost consciousness due to him having the [Three Yin Body], that shit is a curse and a blessing at the same time.

"So... Why would you..."(Chun-Woo)

"Jump off a bridge for someone I don't even know?"(Jin).

"Yeah."(Chun-Woo).

"I guess I can describe it with ... guilty."(Jin).

"Guilty?"(Chun-Woo).

"Well, I may have not seen it with my eyes but I knew he was getting bullied, I knew it would've gone worse and I kept sprouting excuses to not help... I just didn't want the headache I said myself... Some things happen in my life and I guess they affected me more than I could've imagined."(Jin).

"I know this kind of eyes... You lost someone right?"(Chun-Woo).

"...My father... And recently my mother got sick..."(Jin).

"... I know how the loss feels... I lost someone who was like a father to me."(Chun-Woo).

There was another awkward silence Chun-Woo just took a cigarette and started smoking.

"... I know about the murim teacher."(Jin).

The previous melancholic persona of Chun-Woo immediately changed, he brought up his guard and you could see that the atmosphere inside the classroom was different, this isn't the Chun-Woo that is feeling guilty about Shi-Woon, this is the Goomoonryong.

"I didn't immediately attack you just because I can see that you can barely count as a cultivator-"(Chun-Woo)

"Calm down, I am not with the alliance. I am just some random dude that fought in the underground arena till one day..."(Jin).

"*Sigh*.They sent a Cultivator didn't they?"(Chun-Woo)

"Yep. Got beaten up black and blue and barely survived, but there that I discovered the world of murim..."(Jin).

"Quite the average origin story, I've countless like this one. But I can feel that you are in the first training step right? Where did you found a technique, joined a sect?"(Chun-Woo).

"Yeah, I am in the first step. And no I didn't join any sect. Neither I am on the hunt for you Goomoonryong."(Jin).

"*Sigh* This hunt is more annoying than it's worth sometimes I tell you... But what do you want? It was incredibly stupid revealing that you are from Murim if you literally didn't tell me I wouldn't have noticed with you low Ki."(Chun-Woo).

"...Because like it or not I am close to reaching my Ki center and you could've easily felt that, but instead of letting me explain you could've perceived me as a threat and attack immediately, and by what I was able to see of you, you can be fairly reasonable if I just got up to you and talked."(Jin).

"Yeah, they are literally on a manhunt for me right now, so I have to keep my guard up. If I didn't see you jumping after Shi-Woon I would've probably instantly killed you too. Even worse in the school, I know I am exposed there so I am normally pretty tense awaiting for ambushes and things of the like."(Chun-Woo)

"...*ugh*..."(Shi-Woon).

"Oh, he is waking up."(Jin).

"...Teacher?"(Shi-Woon).

"Shut up, just hearing you say it makes me-"(Chun-Woo).

"I am glad you are okay Shi-Woon... Sorry if I didn't help more... I..."(Jin).

"No don't worry... I kind of understood what you were trying to say, I know I need to take care of myself and don't let those people walk over me."(Shi-Woon).

"You bet... Do you need anything?"(Jin).

"No, I am good... But could you..."(Shi-Woon).

"Oh, sorry you want to talk with your teacher right. Okay, I need to cook dinner anyway... See both of you tomorrow. Bye"(Jin).

"Bye!"(Shi/Chun).

I exited the hospital and let the master and disciple talk, man I could've even felt myself I little bit lighter after doing this.

After some time while I was thinking about things I see a figure close to the end of the street looking it was Chun-Woo.

"... You're lucky you never lied once..."(Chun-Woo).

Well and here I was thinking I got out scot-free. But I am glad I use this opportunity to talk with him, I was planning before on simply talking with him at school but I am glad it all ended up okay. Did you really think the Goomoonryong wouldn't feel me the moment I reached my Ki center, maybe if he was some low-level cultivator he could've passed me, but this guy is one of the strongest right now, so no way he wouldn't be able to feel me.
