The Calm Before The Storm

------------

(3rd Person POV)

On the rooftop of Ganghak High School,

An orange-haired guy was beating two students of Ganghak School.

"Say that again, you fucking morons."

Both of them were visibly beaten up and had bruises on their face.

One of them uttered, " It was right in front of the Yeouinaru Office. It happened so suddenly."

Behind them, Wolf Keum was sitting on a chair and he stood up from that chair, took off his glasses and started chuckling.

"Hahaha, They took the money?"

He continued while walking dangerously towards them.

"I see. But now what? What are your plans? What should we do?"

One of them tried to give an option, "W-We call the cops and catch the thieves."

But unfortunately, that was a stupid option...

Wolf Keum grabbed the head of that person and muttered near his ears.

"Call the cops? Call the cops and tell them that our money that came out of nowhere got stolen?"

While saying that, he bashed his head against his knee.

And then he continued the onslaught of punches until that person was sputtering blood on the ground.

On watching that, he took a long sigh and tried to calm his instinctive nature down.

"Ugh, Fuck. I shouldn't beat him to death now. I should give him a chance. Yes, I should give him a chance..."

He then asserted in a low voice with a glare.

"I am not gonna say this again. Bring those fucking thieves to me...or bring back the money you lost. If you are not able to do either of those, then you better run away. And stay hidden, 'cause if I find you, then you're dead."

Earlier in the day,

In the classroom of a cram school in Eunjang's school,

A beautiful girl with black hair and purple highlights was sitting in front of a bag with a box cutter in her hand.

She cut the bag from different angles and made several slits and holes in it. After that, she had a slight and subtle smile on her face.

After a few moments, the owner of that bag, Rowan Im entered the classroom carrying some textbooks and shouted on seeing his bag in shreds.

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

She started at Rowan for a few moments.

"Hey, Don't stare like that at me. Say something..."

Then, she made a sad expression, full of grief and sorrow...

"I am... so sorry. I don't know... why I am like this. I do this... sometimes."

"I just can't control myself... I am sorry... I mean it... You have the bag... same as someone I hate..."

It felt extremely perplexing for Rowan to see a pretty girl shred his bag and then apologize.

"Uh...What?"

She then took a bag beside her and changed it without even asking.

"I will get you the same bag. For the time being, use mine..."

"Hey! What are you doing?"

On being stopped by Rowan, she took her phone out and told.

"Oh, right. I need your number so I can give it to you... For now, take good care of my bag. I will come back for it..."

Then she went away and shut the door.

Julia Chae was like a whirlwind that eventually led to a typhoon...

--------------

In a chicken eatery somewhere in the evening,

Julia entered the eatery while blowing bubblegum.

Jared Sun was sitting in front of her wearing a hood and asked her with a creepy smile on his face.

"Hey, did you give him the bag?"

She replied nonchalantly.

"Yeah, but why did you want me to meet you here?"

He praised her which might seem honest on the surface but was backhanded beneath.

"It's impressive that you handled such a tricky mission...As expected of Julia Chae, isn't it?"

He handed her a note while he explained.

"Anyway, Good Job. This is what you have to do when the date is confirmed."

She glanced at the note and asked.

"I understand Rowan Im... but what's this White Mamba?"

"Oh, don't worry about that. I just scribbled it down. Why don't you stay for a bit? It's been a while."

"Screw off. Just hand over the money. I need to go."

He slides his hand into his hoodie, takes an envelope out of it and hands it to Julia.

"Hey, you are so cold. Money over me, huh? Here."

She takes the money distrustfully and starts counting the notes.

"Come on. There's no need to count. Don't you trust me?"

She curiously asked him.

"By the way, why are you doing this? I heard you are under Wolf Keum."

He stopped for a second and then spoke.

"You don't know what kind of guy is Wolf Keum."

While this was happening, two cronies of Jared brought a nervous boy in front of them.

This was the start of a short nightmare for that boy...

------------

A few days later,

The two students who were beaten up by Jared Sun were smoking on a bench.

They were looking around in the hopes of finding a clue regarding the people who stole files and money from them.

Two students of Yoosun were walking toward the bench.

The two of them called out to the curly-haired guy from Yoosun.

"You. Curly Hair. Come over here."

The curly-haired guy, Hugo Yoon walked toward them with his hands in his pockets.

He came in front of them and spoke in hopes of scaring them.

"Hey, I am friends with Helmet. I went to the same middle school as Jimmy Bae and Jack Kang."

Both of them look at him for a moment.

"We never asked."

They asked him," Hey, you know anything about the guys about Eunjang who fool around the streets of Noryangjin? Spill everything you know."

He thought for about but then hesitatingly said," Well, I have heard about them but I am not sure..."

They talk between themselves.

"I figured what would a loser like him know? They say it's White Mamba's Gang."

Then it clicked into his mind and he said," White Mamba? He fools around the streets? It doesn't sound like him at all."

"What?! Do you know him or what?!"

Then he tries to explain how he knows about that but something catches his eye...

He pointed towards the other end of the road and said," There he is The White Mamba."

They try to look there but then they see the person they were looking for.

They wave Hugo Yoon away from there.

"Hurry and take a picture of him."

They clenched their teeth and grumbled.

"I finally found you, you fucking thief..."

The photo was of Rowan Im walking with the bag and Gray smiling at him...
