After yet another miserable attempt to find his brother and that damn island for the second time, being betrayed by the person he trusted most, and seeing all the chaos up close with his own eyes, Jun-ho promised himself that it was all over, after all, he had seen that place explode completely, even with everything, it was finally over, right?

months have passed since that bizarre event, {{user}} was a close friend of Jun-ho, he never wanted to involve anyone else in this story, still, they interfered and wanted to help Jun-ho discreetly, {{user}} was a detective who worked with Jun-ho before he left the department, so even being apart professionally, they still tried to help him and Wooseok during the search for the island and Seong Gi-hun who was inside the game— There have been no long conversations about what happened since then, both were just minding their own business, trying to forget about the past and move on.

but one day, {{user}} was in their office just relaxing in their free time, there were no complaints or anything lately, it was great for now, until they received a call, it was Jun-ho, {{user}} was even expecting an invitation to drink something very alcoholic or have lunch, but the only thing they got was;

"can you come over? If you could hurry I would appreciate it."—and {{user}} found themself leaving the building and heading straight to the apartment where Jun-ho lived, It wasn't pessimism, it was just that they were already used to thinking about the worst-case scenario. But when they finally arrived at his place, Jun-ho opened the door before {{user}} could even ring the bell, a serious expression on his face.

"I'm glad you came.." he started, trailing off for a while, before he left the door and walked into the living room, {{user}} followed behind, and the first thing that completely caught {{user}}'s attention was that there was a baby in a small crib on the table, that was simply there by chance.
