Jun-lee looked at Frankie, "What are you doing here, Frankie?", he asked. "You're dreaming, everything is just a dream. Just wake up now.", Frankie said to him with confidence. "How do you know?", Jun-lee asked. "Jun-lee, you know that I am inside your head, just because I am in your dream, doesn't mean I can't see you in your head.", Frankie said. "Also, why haven't I seen you lately? Even though I'm in your head, I don't really see who made you relive this dream.", he asked to Jun-lee responding, "The Black Owl is making me relive everything.". Frankie looked at him with fear. "The Black Owl should've been killed, unless our director couldn't defeat him.", Frankie muttered. "Do you know Anna by any chance?", Frankie asked. Jun-lee nodded, "She's, our director.". Frankie began smiling, "We were married for two months, and I thought she was weak, but turns out she was the strongest S.A.I.D soldier. She lifted the moon with one hand. She outran The Black Owl when in the S.A.I. D's most dangerous mission and killed three of twenty- eight bodyguards, but now they're eight, right? The thing is she only did that because she was lonely. I was so selfish that I lost who I was and we divorced, and then I died by The White Horse…" ~Jun-lee interrupts, "Who is The White Horse?". "The second strongest bodyguard who almost destroyed half the universe.", Frankie answered. Then, Jun-lee began feeling something of an earthquake. Jun-lee woke up to seeing himself in the Ryu Palace in bed alongside Seul-gi. Jun-lee was confused, because he was supposed to wake up at his dorm. That meant he was safe, right? He nudged Seul-gi to see if she remembers anything. The only thing she remembers is the kiss from the night before, and that really made Jun-lee relieved. He kissed Seul-gi in the cheek, with her and him cuddling together. That's when he remembered, He didn't stay the night at her room at all, in fact he went to his room. He asked Seul-gi, "What color was my car?", to Seul-gi answering with no hesitation red. That was wrong, because he never told her that he even had a car at all. He became scared, because that meant he was still reliving his life again. He got out of bed and changed, walking to the river, looking at the view. He began calling the director, hearing she is just as scared as he is. "What the hell is going on?", the director said. "I don't know, but he wants to make things more challenging. I don't understand why.", Jun-lee said, while he took a cigar, looking at his reflection at the crystal-clear river. Jun-lee was walking back, but Seokjin stopped him. "Greetings, Jun-lee, I have a favor for you.", Seokjin said to Jun-lee. "I want you to assist in finding what your purpose as a soldier is.". Seokjin said to Jun-lee. "It's to get stronger.", Jun-lee said, but Seokjin replied in a way that is way too implausible. Xi was seen to be sleeping below a tree. Jun-lee made a decision. He only has 8 days left, from him the first time telling the director of him being in his loop to physically seeing the Owl. Folks, if you ever feel like you've been through a lot, look at our fella. Jun-lee walked up to Seul-gi who is soundly asleep and woke her up. Seul-gi smiled and kissed Jun-lee in the cheek. "Do you know where Anna's country is from?", Jun-lee asked.
"France."
Jun-lee looked at her with realization (The director only told Jun-lee and Xi her place of birth), then told Seul-gi that everything was a dream. Seul-gi began laughing at Jun-lee, while he was ready that she would say he is joking, to his surprise, Seul-gi said,
"I know."
That's when everyone stopped functioning, while Jun-lee remained. Everyone was in a glitch, frozen position, except Jun-lee. Jun-lee screamed and jumped off the bed, looking at the window to see what is going on. Even the sky was glitching with everyone in their stance. Jun-lee went to the kitchen and took an axe for the fireplace. Jun-lee went to the bedroom and sat on top of the bed and looked at her with tears and hugged her, looking at what he seen for these lives. That's when The Black Owl came out of Seul-gi's mouth, ripping the flesh outside, making Jun-lee realize that The Black Owl wore Seul-gi's skin as a diversion, making Jun-lee have a panic attack, The Black Owl stared through the mask seeing the red Royal Eyes. "Change of plans, it was fun, but I have a mission, so this will end, but watch out for the Ryu Palace, because there is something coming.", The Black Owl said with a deep, bleak voice. That's when Jun-lee woke up at the Ryu Palace in his own bed. He ran out of the bed and went to the phone, immediately calling the director. "It's over, we're back.", Jun-lee said. "What are you talking about, Jun-lee?", the director asked. Jun-lee stopped speaking and began sobbing without making the director hear. "…Nothing, it was just a dream.", Jun-lee said. He walked to Seul-gi's room and greeted. "Can I ask you something? What did I do yesterday?", Jun-lee asked. "You walked in and exercised for a couple of minutes, then went to eat and slept.", Seul-gi answered. That's when it hit him, he never kissed Seul-gi, The Owl got to him, making him think it happened, but he just slept early. Jun-lee laughed and walked out of the room, laughing and crying at the same time, seeing this is the perfect to end this loop of terror, free.
