Thanks to Lucifer, or Soo-Jung, the Gate of Heryond was cleared. Usually, the media would go wild when a new gate was cleared. Gi-Gyu wanted to avoid such noise and attention; luckily, everything worked out for him. The gate perished a day after being cleared due to Soo-Jung’s interference, so Gi-Gyu used that extra day to contact the association’s Korean branch. Thus, he returned to Korea before the news hit.   

As soon as Gi-Gyu reached Korea, he wanted to meet Tae-Shik. But it seemed Tae-Shik was away on a business trip per the association president’s order. Because Tae-Shik went inside the Tower, Gi-Gyu couldn’t even contact him. So, after leaving a message for Tae-Shik, Gi-Gyu went straight to the hospital. 

Yoo-Jung was still at school, so Gi-Gyu didn’t see her when he reached his mother’s room. Given Yoo-Jung’s personality, she would’ve definitely skipped school to care for their mother. But, it seemed their mother had someone forced her into going to school. 

His mother’s condition had worsened in the span Gi-Gyu wasn’t here. When Gi-Gyu asked the doctor about it, he replied that it was a miracle she was still alive. 

‘Thank goodness, I’m not too late.’

After telling the doctor his mother wanted to spend her final days at home, Gi-Gyu got her discharged from the hospital. The hospital staff was concerned, worried that her condition would worsen even more if she wasn't under a doctor's care....
