Myungwoo doesn't even bother how this woman knows his name. She points with her morning star to a standing mirror, which Myungwoo knows is the same mirror they see in Ok grandmother's bedroom, with a bright string connecting it to a spot in the night sky.Â
"Only you can do it. Cut the string now, or she will die!"
Myungwoo is jumping, and he just realizes he is jumping so far as if his muscular body is really light, and with his instinct, he cuts off the string with his ax. The string got cut off and suddenly the mirror is broken. Myungwoo was standing in front of the crashed mirror with so many questions lingering in his mind. His appearance looks normal, if you can say that holding an ax with so many dark spots on his stylish suit can be called normal too. Bonhwa and Minseong also look messy, even Minseong's hair also has dark spots. And the blood smells bad.
"If you aren't in a hurry, I can invite you all to the castle to wash up, drink hot chocolate and listen to my explanation rather than to have a briefing here."
"We're just here for 15 minutes? I thought it's longer," said Myungwoo with a frown, as he stared at his watch.
"It is longer. The time here is twice as slow as your time in your world. You all can jump instead of run, so follow me. It's not far."
"But wait, do you know what will happen to Ok halmeoni?" asked Bonhwa.
"She is saved now. She is just sleeping. I'll also explain about that. So, will you follow me?"
Bonhwa exchanged glances with Myungwoo, just like how he always does when he needs advice from him. Myungwoo nods his head. So several minutes later, the three men are jumping in the dark, following the young woman to a place she called her castle.
IT IS a castle. The castle isn't really big but it has a lot of rooms and is made of stone, with a lot of windows too. If you ever see a castle in a picture or movie, it looks like one of those. It's hidden in the center of a dark forest, but it stands out so tall, so it will easily get spotted after some time jumping in the forest. Following what the young woman said, three of them enter a bedroom with a big sized bed inside and a rather small door across the room: a bathroom. Bonhwa is the first one who opens the bathroom door, and the bathroom is as amazing as the bedroom: it has a big bathtub after several steps of stairs. Minseong is opening an old-styled wardrobe and there are some white plain T-shirts and long pants there. He also pulled out several towels. Myungwoo looks outside from a big window there: this place is so strange, it looks like they are in a fantasy world, with no sign of the city out there. The castle is being lighted with candles - with various sizes, here and there.
"So, I'll wash up first."
