I hadn't realized that a simply phone call could be that risky,not until,after some minutes,Himchan was in front of me,looking extremely furious. Zelo had earlier told him about the phone call οr -to be certain exact- he was forced by Youngjae,who eavesdropped our conversation. "Daehyun,i brought you to my house,making sure that you are safe and you pay me back like that? I think you still don't know the consequences of every move you make." "I'm sorry hyung,i didn't knew something like this could happen. I just wanted to check if she's alright,that's all." An apology couldn't fix anything,neither make the situation better,but i was sure Hyosung wouldn't go to the police just because i didn't want to return at New Seoul. On the other hand,i couldn't fully predict her reaction,because,as far as i know, she was an unsustainable character. "You put my team in danger and the only thing you do is saying sorry? Aish..what should i do with you?" He looked at Youngjae,who just entered the room with a phone on his hand. "Yongguk hyung is still at New Seoul with Jongup,they'll take care of it." "Daehyun" Himchan turned again his head towards me,this time looking more relaxed but at the same time more pretentious. "What's the full name of the girl you were talking to?" "W-Why do you want her name?" "None of your business. Tell me her name,i need it" I shook my head,denying telling him Hyosung's full name. Himchan,asked for it out of the blue without telling me why,i couldn't trust his intentions so easily. Before i even had the time to turn around and go back at the room i slept last night,a hand came abruptly in touch with my neck,choking me. In a split of seconds Youngjae and Zelo came next to me,trying to free me from Himchan's tight grip around my neck and at the same time yelling at him to let me go. "I'm not going to ask for a second time. If you want to actually put yourself in use,tell me her name,I'm not going to kill her. But if she goes to the police station she will certainly be killed,but not from us" He loosed his grip,allowing me to breath normally again. Zelo,who was at my left side,almost begged me to give Himchan the name he wanted,also without explaining me why they wanted her name so badly. "Daehyun,with the phone call you did,you put her life in danger,just please give us her full name. We can prevent a lot if you tell us her name." I heard Youngjae,this time,asking for that name. "I'll tell you. But only if you promise me that you will not hurt her and also you'll tell me why the hell I'm here,prisoned in this house." We all looked at Himchan,who was the current leader, as Yongguk wasn't at the house. "Fine. Tell me her name" "Jun Hyosung".

As soon as Himchan had her name,he whispered something at Youngjae and went upstairs,with Zelo trailing behind him. I hated how secretive Himchan was,always he demanded answers without giving an explanation for anything. I knew him for almost two days and i already was sure that i hated him. "Daehyun let's go downstairs." Youngjae beckoned me to follow him as he was walking towards a room i hadn't noticed before. "Downstairs? But there are no stairs heading downstairs." As i remembered the first stair of the staircase stared from the ground floor,there was no staircase heading down. "Yeah,because we have an elevator for that. I don't know why,but Himchan wanted both an elevator and a staircase at the house." We got inside a simple grey elevator cabin,in which there was only one button with a minus one on it and a wide mirror behind us. "I see. Youngjae,why exactly are we going downstairs?" "Didn't you want to know why are you here?" He turned towards me. "Himchan told me to guide you around the house and answer some of your questions. I thought it would be better to show you our training room first. Let's go. " He stepped outside the elevator and walked towards a wide area,which looked more like a hangar than a training room. "Is that the training room?" I scanned with my eyes the huge room in front of me,looking here and there,until they laid upon a - what it looked like- humanoid robot skeleton. "Yep. It may look big and deserted, without any training equipment but..yeah that's it. The room also is connected with the computer system at the control room. We have a special program that helps us training." "A training room without any training equipment huh?" I chuckled "And what is this?" I asked pointing at the iron skeleton that was some meters away from us,placed next to the wall. "Oh that? It's a weapon from the third world war,Jongup collected it. He likes fixing things" "Weird. I didn't know those things actually exist. So you say that those things were used as a weapon at the third world war?" "Exactly. That robot skeleton prevents people from getting easily killed at the battlefield. It sticks at your back,hands,and legs and offers a full coverage. Jongup still try fixing it." Youngjae left me behind, confused about what he told to me. As i know the third world war never happened,the last world war happened two centuries ago,I may wasn't good at history but I was informed enough to know about world wars. "Youngjae." I trailed behind him,walking in a fast pace so I could catch with him. "The third world war never happened. What are you talking about? And don't tell me that the government hided that from us too. A war can be hidden" He stopped outside of a red door and after turning the knob he get inside a small room,which looked exactly like a doctor's office. "Daehyun..I don't know how to explain this..but..you somehow have lost your memory. Not only you,but all the citizens at New Seoul. The United Government has erased the memory of all citizens. Don't ask me why or how,you'll learn the reason when the right time comes. Now please sit there" He pointed at the examination bed across the small room,which was covered with the usual white cover. My feet dragged me at the examination bed and i sat on it. "I don't understand. What do you mean Youngjae? I have a memory loss? That's impossible. I remember everything,even since when I was kid and until now.Everything." Anxiety had blinded my mind -or terror, I wasn't sure at that moment- and I was unable to think clearly. There must be a logical explanation behind this,there was no way I couldn't remember things . "Well..they erased your memories and replaced them with fake ones. I'm not in position to explain to you,Daehyun, the reason why they did this. I have to explain a lot. Anyway,you have to trust me,alright? I know it sounds weird enough to believe it but it's the truth." Youngjae, after some seconds,came to me with a needle on his hand. "Woah,what are you doing with this?" "Relax,I'll just take some blood. You never know,you may need it some day" "Need it? I thought that you are supposed to protect me." "Yeah but we can't be sure. Mistakes are for people and we are people Daehyun not God's neither robots." He took my left hand and after strapping on a blue rubber he searched for my vein. "Youngjae,why there was third world?" "For water. Before the war started most of the people were convinced that a war would burst and they were all terrified but at the same time they wanted the a solution for the problem" After taking some of my blood and putting it inside a small transparent bag,Youngjae placed it in the fridge next to the examination bed and sat next to me sticking a plaster at the spot he pricked with the needle. "Problem?" "There wasn't a lot of water for everyone. Except for that,the price of the water had increased dramatically,making the situation even worse" "How you can remember all those things? You just tell me that the government had erased the memories of all people." "Yeah. All the people that live inside New Seoul. The United Government choose the citizen of the city and took their memories away,I wasn't included. Not only me but millions of people weren't including in the list of the citizens that would colonize New Seoul." "And where are those people?" "Outside the wall."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was almost dark outside and neither Yongguk or Jongup was back at the house. I was sitting on the camp bed inside the room I share with Zelo,still thinking about what Youngjae had told me earlier this morning. It was impossible something like that happened,but somehow the event of the third world war and the action of erasing the memories of the citizens by the United Government could explain my nightmares: they were vivid and realistic because they were memories of the past,my past. I wasn't sure if I was right but the lack of evidences i had made me ending up to that conclusion. But they are lots of questions that need a truthfull answer,for example why the United Government wanted so bad their citizens not to remember anything for their past life and forced them to live a fake life? Or why when I stopped taking my medication my memories were slowly unveiling to me? Or even worse what was the reason for the government to separate Korea's population into two different teams,the one that lives inside New Seoul and the other one that lives outside of it? I was confused and no one in the house didn't gave me an answer. I was asking Youngjae all of these question as he was showing me the house but the only answer I got was that Yongguk or Himchan will decide when I'll be ready for answers. At first I thought that would be a good idea to search some answers from Himchan but soon I changed my mind,mostly because of the incident that occured between us this morning. At least I learn something new today,it was a good start. Also if my dreams are indeed memories of my past,that meant that,basing in my dream last night,I was a spy and had a mission to kill a guy. It's sound a little weird,because I don't even know how to use a him but that could explain why police -and United Government- was after me. When I stood up so I could take my cigarettes out of the rucksack I heard a light knocking and a door being open. "Hyung,come downstairs to help us unload the truck" Zelo was standing outside the door waving at me. "What truck?" "Yongguk hyung and Jongup were at New Seoul to buy some supplies. Come on,we are need help" After waving at me one last time,the younger left the room running downstairs. To tell the truth I didn't really wanted to go downstairs,I wasn't in the mood to do anything and,also,I didn't want to see Himchan's face. His behaviour towards me wasn't a nice one,but I had to go,i wanted to be usefull to the team.

When my foot touched the last step of the staircase I came into some big gallons of water. They were certainly more than thirteen and they were placed in a row,forming something like a wall. "Good to see that you are still alive." Yongguk placed down another gallon of water and smiled at me. "What do we want all these gallons? We are only six people in the house and as I know the house is equipped with water supply system." I walked towards him,with my hands resting inside the pockets of my grey hoodie. "They aren't for us. We will give them to the people outside the wall. Youngjae told me that he told you about the third world war,so I guess that you are informed that the outside people are failing in having clean water right?" "Well,I didn't know that. Youngjae forgot to tell me that." "Now you do. Anyway come outside to help us,we have some more gallons to unload." Yongguk went outside and as I was walking towards the same destination, I saw Himchan looking at my direction. "Why are you looking me,hyung?" "No reason,I just..looking. Is it that bad your highness?" I sighed and shooked my head before getting out of the house. The truck was parked in front of the house and Jongup was upon in,handing the gallons to the guys. "Hey Daehyun hyung!" He waved at me with a bright smile on his face. "Did you miss us?" "Well..kinda" I chuckled and took the gallon he gave to me. "Why you are at the town the whole day?" "Daehyun stop asking questions and get that damn gallon inside you curious piece of human being"Himchan,after taking a gallon from Jongup's hands he went inside the house. "Don't misunderstand him hyung,he's always a little bossy around new members,you will soon get used to him" "I hope so." I grapped tightly the plastic gallon of water and get inside the house. Himchan and Youngjae were already there placing down the gallons while they were chatting. "Daehyun" After letting the gallon next to another one I turned my head towards Youngjae,who called my name. "Yongguk hyung told me to give you this bag. He also said that you can open it after the dinner. Take it" I reached my hand and took the red bag. "Do you know what is inside it?" "He bought it for you from New Seoul,that's all I know" Yongguk maybe bought me a present,I didn't know why he did that but it was a nice gesture. I let the bag at the couch and went outside,accompanied by both Youngjae and Himchan to take the other gallons.
