My Range is One Million

Chapter 107: Him & Her

“Sooji.” Songjae said as he walked towards her.

“Oppa.”

“What are you doing?.”

“Sigh, the clan master position is so tiring. Anyway, I have to go, I have a lot to handle,” Songjae said with an exhausted tone.

“Okay and... About what you were saying before, I was really nervous...”

“Don’t worry, I have everything under control.”

“Of course, I believe in you,” Sooji replied. Songjae then gave her a hug and went back to work.

After he left, Sooji continued to enjoy the view of the air base but the air base she was looking at the moment wasn’t the one that belonged to her clan. She felt so lost these days.

‘Could he be alive.’ She couldn’t stop thinking about the tragedy that happened at Justin Point.

The arrows were everywhere. She was still confused and amazed at how he could shoot so many at that speed. He made it look like it was nothing but it should have been pretty draining. She didn’t understand how it became possible.

However, no matter how amazing his shooting was, his position was still devoured by the wave of Oaks. She can’t be easily impressed but she would always be speechless every time she thought about it. The Oaks was not like any other ordinary monster. It was almost impossible to fight them off.

Jaehwang was a very skilled archer. No one or no monster stood a chance against him except for the Oaks apparently.

‘There’s no one like him.’

She couldn’t see over the railing where she stood behind but she knew that it was Jaehwang who was shooting those arrows. He was someone she loved, she could recognize him no matter what.

She felt a sense of regret because of how things ended between them. She thought about all the memories they had made together and at that moment, she knew that she still had feelings for him.

She was in Justin Point at the time when the tragedy unfolded due to the Daehyeon clan’s secret mission.

She was badly injured due to an explosion in all of that chaos. There was a healer with them but the wound was too bad that there was only so much that it could do. She had to be taken to safety and afterwards, she was taken home by her parents. They took care of her but things haven’t remained the same after their greed caused them to betray her. She could never go back to being the obedient daughter that she used to be. At first, she was trying to avoid them but that was impossible in that situation.

The shadow of a guy then appeared next to her.

It looked like it was Songjae. Sooji felt bad as she was lost in thought thinking about Jaehwang. She turned to him and smiled nervously.

“Huh?”

“It’s been awhile, hasn’t it.”

Like magic, the person that she was thinking of showed up next to her and she unknowingly reached out her hand.

‘What am I doing?’ She thought to herself.

She was thinking of someone else but he’s already engaged to Songjae and her parents were impatiently waiting for their marriage.

“So, you’re engaged?”

“Yeah...”

“Congratulations”

“Thanks.”

“So, what have you been up to these days?” Jaehwang asked. To him, they seemed happy together.

“Just, this and that... What are you doing here?” Sooji asked.

“Me? I’m just here on a mission with the group.”

“A mission?” Sooji asked. She wasn’t surprised to hear it. Songjae knew that they would be there and he even mentioned it before they came.”

“Yeah, It’s dangerous here so be careful.”

“Okay, oppa.”

“Is there anyone here that you’re close with?”

“Not really.”

“Great. Be careful around here no matter who it is. Anyone that you would meet here is not trustworthy or safe to be around.”

“Got it.” It was clear that she should be careful and be wary of the people around her. A cold wind brushed by them and she then wrapped her arms around herself.

“Are you cold?”

“Yeah...”

“Wait here.” Jaehang then went inside the building and came back to hand her a warm heated pack. “Here you go.”

“T-thanks.” She took the heated pack and held it with both of her hands. Jaehwang’s kindness was surprising but it made her melt until he said,

“An action like this may give others the wrong idea and they could think we’re dating but I don’t think my girlfriend will misunderstand.”

“You have a girlfriend?” Sooji asked and Jaehwang nodded his head. “Was it the girl that I saw you with that day?”

He figured that she was talking about the time when he and the spirit had lunch at the diner in Justin Point. Jaehwang looked a bit unpleasantly surprised. “Uh, no. It’s not her.”

“Then who is it?” Sooji asked again eagerly.

He was starting to regret his choice however, it was the spirit who thought of that idea in the first place.

Jaehwang knew that lying about it was unnecessary and he hesitated, but he still decided to do it. He didn’t think she would ask who it was.

“Are you lying?”

“Huh?”

“Come on, tell me who it is.”

“...”

“I have to go,” Jaehwang said nervously.

“Oh, okay. Bye.”

“Take care...”.

Sooji waved her hands, Jaehwang then waved back and walked away.

Then...

Sooji and Jaehwang both looked back, taking their one last look at each other before they went on their separate ways.

A few hours soon passed and the workers went back on the construction site to finish their jobs.

There was a guy standing outside on one of the rooms in the building. The guy adjusted his clothing and walked inside to see Songjae looking through a pile of documents.

“Sir, there’s a situation that needs your attention.”

“Already? Alright, make it quick.” He replied as he placed his papers on the table. His assistant made him look at a video where he saw Jaehwang and Sooji talking.

“It’s her ex...” The assistant explained to Songjae. Songjae then took a deep breath and said,

“So that’s who he is. Why was he talking to Sooji...does he still has his feelings for her?”

His assistant then replied, “Are you sure? I mean, he’s really handsome.”

“He’s nothing special but, does he still have his feeling for her?”

“You mean if he still likes her?”

“Exactly,” Songjae replied with a suspicious smile. He thought that if he’s right, then he could use that for his plan. “Oh well, I’ll just get back to business. There’s still a lot left to do...”

His assistant could already tell he was planning something by the look on his face.

The plan obviously involved Sooji. Of course, he didn’t think that she would die because of it but his boss seemed to think about it deeply.

“Would you like to help me with the plan? I am your boss so...”

Songjae said and his assistant nervously asked, “I-I’m sorry but don’t you think you should think about this for a little first?”

“Have you forgotten what the Daehyeon clan came here for? Tearing down Pyeongan is our main goal.”

“Yes, sir.”

“We’re going to need some help from our Japanese allies. Give them a call.”

“Yes, sir.” His assistant left the room, Songjae then smirked and he took his phone out of his pocket to make a call.

—Sooji.

—Hi.

—Can you come to the constitution camping area for a moment?

—Sure.

Songjae then put his phone down and smiled with the same suspicious aura once again.

***

The next day, Jaehwang received a party invitation from the Daehyeon clan. The invitation was simple, each clan’s young rising star would gather together today at 9 PM. Maybe it was just a coincidence but the person hosting the party the Daehyeon clan’s youngest clan master, Songjae. It wasn’t just another simple drinking party. The country’s clans ranking from 1 to 30 were all invited and they would all participate in order to get closer to each other.

Jaehwang then opened up the letter and read it. He instantly knew something suspicious was going on.

—Isn’t it too obvious?

—It is.

There was a memory card in the invitation and it contained a video which he found to be very surprising.

Sooji was tied up in the corner of a dark room. She seemed to be unconscious but that’s not all. He heard a voice at the end of it.

[You’re invited.]

The video then ended with just those two words.

—He’s really something.

—Yeah

Jaehwang started to feel a little bit worried.

—Do you think you did something that made him mad? I thought he was a cool guy but he seems a bit crazy right now.

The spirit said. They were both worried and surprised, they never thought that Songjae would do something like this.

—Looks like it’s time to hunt a person.

He usually wouldn’t hunt down a person but Songjae was obviously an exception.

—Okay, what’s the plan? Should we set up a trap?

—Let’s go.

Jaehwang balled up the invitation and threw it onto the floor before he left.

Him & Her, The end.
