"we have decided" cheon sa started the conversation with a warm smile
"Pa goe, you are no longer in our team"
That sentence struck dead in Pa goes mind. "no longer in the team?.." he repeated, the words taste ugly and foreign in his mouth. but for what reason, why he is out? why was every reggresion diffrent from another?
"what... what do you mean out of the team?!" those words escaped Pa goes throat before he could process what was happening. "your performance are getting brutally worse every day, I mean if you don't the the passion we can just remove you away" cheon sa said, dragging the words to make sure Pa goe heard every single one
"but I provide the most?!" Pa goe yelled, of course it was unreasonable, why is he getting kicked out when he did the most stuff. "I mean we all can sense the laziness in your movements" cheon sa continued, dragging his words more, his gaze looking up and around. "bitch I am a backline mage supporting you all and you're accusing me for my apparent sloppy attacks?!"
cheon sa in his tracks, looking stunt and for a split second. he seemed panicked "are you saying I'm wrong?" cheon sa asked, now looking at Pa goe
"yes, I am. because you are wrong, right ha neul?" he then turned to face the girl lazily slumped in the armchair. "Pa goe, he's not wrong tho" Ha neul replied, looking at Pa goe with an expression of pity
"how am I useless?! even if I didn't go hands on fighting, my puppets literally kept yall safe, if there's one that should be out of the team, it's either one of you" he yelled again, pointing at cheon sa before his finger shifted to ha neul then to ha eun
"look Pa goe..... we all have agreed to kick you out sooooooo" cheon sa went again with his carefree attitude.
"if it's like that, then get out of my house" Pa goe said, his tone was harsh and angry, perhaps, he is furious right now.
"alright then, it's settled. don't worry Pa goe you can still get retirement money, so rest assured~" cheon sa said, patting Pa goes back before heading towards the front door with ha eun followed beside, a sorry was mouthed by ha neul before she left, she knew it was wrong and she didn't know why they want to kick such valuable asset out of the team
Pa goes eyes soften as he nodded towards ha neul, I mean at least someone feels the same
He sighed, I mean now at least he's safe from the dangers outside, but even then, Pa goe had a deep desire to help cheon sa, the horrific image popped up in his mind once more, sending shivers down his spine. pa goe tensed up
thats it.... I have to help them....
but he knew not to interfere, but the dread feeling got the better of him
He knew he can't just popped up at the scene and stop them right
he pulled out his laptop, running his fingers along the keys, feeling the familiar smoothness under his fingertips. he typed an email
to the government himself, he risking his whole future to this, all because he cared deeply for cheon sa, even after getting humiliated

Pa goe ]
His fingers hovered above the send button, weighing the consequences and the rewards before pressing the send button, he watched as the screen buffered before sending succesfully
Pa goe let out a sigh of relief, he laid back down, hoping he doesn't regret his actions
tho he was proud, a part of him screamed at every fiber of his body to delete the email at hopes of an acceptance response
he set his laptop down aside and stood up, stretching his body as he went to make some coffee
if he's gonna regret His actions, he might as well enjoy something for now
--------------------------------------
waiting for a response was like waiting paint to dry, Pa goe just did his things like reading a book or just dusting off his house. he looked over his laptop every few minutes for any email, and when there wasn't any, he'd just go back to his things
it was peaceful, but brief
a long high pitched ding came from the laptop
Pa goe looked at his laptop nervously, it was it
his hand trembled as he clicked into the email, reading it in his mind

Pa goes heart flared and a weight on his shoulder was released upon reading the email, he was glad, super glad that the association was nice enough to let them off without question but he knew it would be a matter of time before the remaining team members would come looking for him
after all they were excited for the raid in the last two reggresion
He closed his laptop, finally feeling at peace and you know what? he's gonna enjoy his days
--------------------------------------------
days past like a peaceful stream, Pa goe did what he loved. from reading to sightseeing, it was too peaceful but Pa goe isn't complaining
who is he to complain such privileged
And he was gonna live it all, he planned to di some camping
until there was a knock at the door
suspecting nothing, Pa goe went to open the door but the sight of no one greeted him back, at that point Pa goe had his guard up and his fist clenched
he closed the door shut, "that was enough outside time for me today I guess.." he mumbled under his breath
as he closed the door, a shadow appeared behind him, a big humanoid figure with a seemingly weapon
what the hell.....
