CHAPTER 5
The chapter opens inside a giant modern house, sunlight hitting the glass walls.
We see Ryan (MC) stepping inside, dropping his hoodie and kicking off his shoes.
Before he can even breathe, his little brother sprints out of nowhere and jumps at him.
"RYAN-HYUNG!!"
Ryan catches him with one arm and lifts him like a sack of rice.
"Sup gang," Ryan laughs, spinning him once.
Down the stairs, his older sister Nya-Chi sits on the couch scrolling through her phone. She glances up.
"Yo. You're too old for that," she says.
Ryan squints at her. "Too old? Fool, I'm seventeen."
His little brother nods.
"Yeah… that's old."
Ryan freezes.
"…What the hell you mean by that?"
"Where's Mom?" he asks.
Nya-Chi points toward the hallway. Ryan storms toward the room, still arguing with himself.
He bursts in. "HEY MOM— do I look old?!"
His mom sits in a gorgeous, soft-lit room, reading a book. She doesn't even flinch.
"How many times have I told you to knock," she sighs. "But no… you're not old. You're seventeen."
"EXACTLY!" Ryan says, proud.
Nya-Chi walks in behind him.
"You're old. You have a job."
His little brother adds, "Everyone with a job is old."
Ryan stares at them like they're aliens.
"What is wrong with you people?"
"Hey Dad!" Ryan yells toward the living room. "Do I look old?"
"No," his dad answers without looking up from the TV.
Ryan smirks.
"SEE? Dad gets it—"
"No he doesn't," Nya-Chi says.
Ryan just walks away shaking his head, smiling.

Later That Day – Jun's House
Jun's home is smaller, quiet. Both his parents are working late.
He pushes open his sister's door—
She's sitting on the floor, eyes red, wiping tears.
"Hey… what's wrong?" Jun asks softly.
"I'm fine," she whispers, turning away.
Jun doesn't push. He goes to the kitchen, opens his laptop… and stops.
On the screen is a video.
A grainy recording from a gym.
Her boyfriend, Tailung, and another fighter laughing—
Tailung hitting her on purpose, shoving her, mocking her when she falls.
Jun's face changes.
Everything inside him goes cold.
He shuts the laptop slowly.
Then stands up.

Night – Abandoned Parking Lot Behind a Club
A guy screams.
We see his arm bent the wrong direction.
On the floor, hands shaking.
Jun stands over him, calm, breathing steady, a broken pen in his hand. Blood runs down the man's knuckles.
Jun tosses the pen aside and kicks the guy's face once.
He walks away without looking back.

Later – UFC Training Room
A large MMA gym filled with students and fighters.
Training bags, mats, cages.
Inside, Tailung and Beom-Tay, a well-known young UFC champion, spar lightly while other students watch.
When Jun steps in, the room goes silent.
Tailung smirks.
"Well, well. Look who's here. Come to take revenge? Look at you. You look trash, bro. I heard all you do is study."
Beom-Tay cracks his neck and looks around.
"Yo, someone get this kid out. Students, handle him."
A student charges, throwing a punch—
Jun catches it with one hand and KOs him instantly.
Another kicks—
Jun sidesteps, punches his chest, then face, dropping him.
A third rushes him—
Jun grabs him by the shirt and throws him onto the wall like he weighs nothing.
Two more rush him together.
One grabs him from behind, the other swings a metal bat.
Jun TAKES the bat hit to the back—
Grabs the bat—
THROWS it away—
Breaks the hold—
Runs up the wall—
Flips—
Kicks one dude in the face—
Catches the last guy by the throat and slams him into the wall.
The room goes dead quiet.
Jun turns slowly.
Tailung freezes.
Beom-Tay's smile fades.
Jun cracks his neck.
"I'm gonna kill you two."
