[56] "Discovered"

A young man with light cream-colored hair and amber eyes was running worriedly, rushing up the stairs.

"Aaaaaaaaah!.... I ran out of time again," Jiwoo lamented.

"Training with Mr. Kayden is exciting and I lose track of time. Good thing I arrived on time, Mr. Kayden said he communicated with my brother. I will be able to see him again soon.

The day went on as usual. Jiwoo fell asleep in class, the teacher woke him up, scolded him, but nothing interesting happened until he was on his way home.

Walking home, Jiwoo saw three students bothering Wooin in an alley.

"Hey, didn't I warn you the other day to bring money," the aggressors told him.

Jiwoo approached them with a harmless smile. "Wooin... what are you doing there?" he asked.

"Who is this fool?" one of the student aggressors questioned.

"Beat it, stay out of where you're not wanted," threatened the other.

"Mmm... I can't, he's my classmate," replied Jiwoo pointing at Wooin.

The three students looked at Jiwoo in astonishment, and the faces of two of them changed and approached menacingly. "Do you want to die?" they challenged him.

Jiwoo easily dodged all the punches the students threw, and after a moment of dodging them, he said to the people walking on the street and said. "We shouldn't cause such a fuss."

The people on the street looked down the alley and said with a little fear in their voice. "Look at those boys, they are fighting."

"Kids these days are a mess," commented another pedestrian.

The student named Jisuk behind them, hands in his pants pockets and a carefree attitude, with his white hair and grayish green eyes, interrupted in annoyance. "What do you think you two pathetic people are doing?".

Jisuk was incensed to see the two students stammering nervously. "You idiots, you are embarrassing me in public," he shouted rudely at them.

The students immediately fell silent.

Jisuk fixed his gaze on Jiwoo and said in a threatening voice. "Be careful cat boy. Watch your back, this won't stay like this."

Then, he left the place followed by the other two students.

Jiwoo, worried about his friend Wooin, approached him and asked. "Wooin, are you okay, they didn't do anything to you, did they?"

But Wooin didn't answer him and walked away without saying anything.

Jiwoo started to follow him to make sure he was okay, but Wooin continued without saying a word.

After walking together for a while, Jiwoo said goodbye to Wooin and took a different way home.

....

The day had flown by, and when night fell, Jiwoo and Kayden hurried to take the unconscious cat to the vet for a check-up, as it had not yet woken up.

As they were on their way, Wooin saw them passing by with his teacher's cat.

He remembered the conversation he had had with him. "Wooin, I'm not sure, but I think the trackers carefully took the sample, when I tried to call her by forcing the mark, she didn't come, but I felt some auras approaching my location from a distance, I'm pretty sure they captured her, so be careful when you go out."

Wooin came back to reality and realized that Jiwoo was entering a veterinarian's office.

'Could it be that Jiwoo is a tracker?" he wondered.

....

The next day, in the classroom, Wooin walks in and sees Jiwoo.

Although Jiwoo greets him, Wooin does not answer and begins to analyze whether his classmate is really an awakened one and whether he has received special training.

When class time ends, Jiwoo runs off and Wooin chases after him, watching him feed the stray cats.

At that moment, a voice interrupts him.

"Jiwoo Seo," says the person behind them.

Jiwoo turns around and smiles at the sight of Wooin. "Good to see you," he replies amicably.

Wooin, with a serious voice, asks. "Where did you get that cat?"

Jiwoo looks at the cats eating near him and replies. "Aaaaah, they're not mine, they're from the street and I feed them."

Wooin frowns and asks again. "Not that one, the black-striped cat you took to the vet the other day."

"Oh, that one," Jiwoo replies cheerfully. "He's not mine, I found him unconscious and took him to my house. He hasn't woken up for several days, so I took him to the doctor and he said he might wake up tomorrow or never."

"Why do you ask?" said Jiwoo harmlessly.

Wooin looked carefully at Jiwoo's attitude. 'Apparently, Jiwoo is not lying? Are you really a tracker?' he thought.

'Can't he wake up? What could have happened to him? Could it be a side effect of the professor's experiment?' Wooin said emotionlessly,

"I thought it was my cat. I lost it a few days ago." added Wooin.

Jiwoo shouted worriedly, "You lost your cat, what a pity."

"I'll bring it to you right away so you can see if it's your cat or not," said Jiwoo turning around and running away.

Wooin stood confused as Jiwoo walked away.

'Is he really not a tracker? Showing off something so important so easily? 'If he's a tracker, he wouldn't show me the cat so easily unless he doesn't know what it is,' Wooin thought.

'The professor must have made a mistake? And wasn't there a tracker chasing us?'

....

[At Jiwoo's house]

A loud slamming door woke Kayden, who saw Jiwoo running at high speed in front of him while holding a gray cat with black stripes in his arms.

"What are you doing, where are you taking him?" asked Kayden half asleep.

Jiwoo, with a smile on his face, replied. "I think I found the cat's owner."

Before Kayden could say anything else, Jiwoo ran out of the house with the cat in his arms.

Kayden was shocked watching Jiwoo walk away, he closed his eyes to continue sleeping, but immediately woke up as he remembered something important. "That cat is not normal.... They experimented on him forcing his awakening and that evil aura I felt that time."

Quickly, he left the house and closed his eyes to visualize the streets.

When he opened them, he saw Jiwoo running and decided to follow him. 'Boy, stay out of trouble until I get there,' Kayden thought as he ran after him.

"Big Kayden will save you."
