Seo Jun-Ho’s vision was blurry, but he could vaguely make out someone’s shimmering back profile.

‘Rahmadat…?’

Rahmadat’s back wasn’t that small. So why? Why was he excited and emotional to see that not-so-wide back?

'Is it because of the smell?’

There was a faint metallic smell in the air, and Seo Jun-Ho was familiar with that smell. It was the smell of the man he had been missing and had permanently occupied a corner of his heart and mind.

"Master?" Seo Jun-Ho’s hesitant and trembling voice echoed as tears welled up in his eyes. The man in front of him smelled like his master. "Is it really you, Master…?"

"I-I thought you made a wrong decision..." Seo Jun-Ho thought that Baek Geon-Woo might have embarked on a suicide mission to avenge their master. Therefore, Seo Jun-Ho also looked for traces of Baek Geon-Woo from the fiends’ memories.

"It’s a long story." Baek Geon-Woo scratched his cheek and smiled bitterly. "And it’s a much longer story than you can imagine..."

“Just what have you been doing…?”

"I was trying...
