Epilogue

YJ graduated from high school. He passed by flowers to see Gon, just cause.

The narrative has changed, it is completely new and unpredictable.

"I've decided to confront it. Confront whatever life throws at me, as I always have. And however much I can feel, nothing more, nothing less."

Mom was wheeled in by Dr Shim. She had woken up while YJ was recovering. YJ CRIED

YJ urged Gon to go back home together with him.

Steel Wire showed a knife and passed it to Gon, YJ was beat up. YJ just kept asking whether that's what Gon wanted because he knows Gon is not like that. He's a softie who tears up at the sight of blood.

Then, Steel Wire asked what would YJ do for Gon, YJ said anything. Steel Wire said "Even if you could die?" Clearly amused, Steel Wire approached YJ.

Steamed Bun wasn't good at giving directions but said Gon would probably be with Steel Wire.

YJ found Gon ragged and he kept telling YJ to leave.

Then, Steel Wire came.

Part 4

The actual culprit spoke up, it was the kid that asked YJ how it felt to watch his family die.

Gon had gone missing and Mr Yun admitted he had horrible thoughts about his own son and if YJ came across Gon, to tell him to come back.

YJ decided he had to find Gon, and apologise. YJ went to find Steamed Bun on Gon's whereabouts. Dora asked why he had to be the one to find him & YJ said Gon is his friend.

End of Part 3

There was a school field trip but YJ didn't go as he had to look after his mom. There was an incident of stolen cash found in Gon's bag and while he had an alibi and said it wasn't him, everyone just blamed him. His father paid off the missing money.

Gon had a rage fit, and Dora confronted him. The teachers came in time but the class was messed and Gon left. Later, he kinda "bid" farewell to YJ.

Gon & Dora frequent the closing down bookstore but somehow, never at the same time.

Gon didn't visit as much as he started hanging out with other people (infamous).

Out of the blue, YJ felt that he wanted to read in between the lines and understand people and things. Dora came in, told her he wants to write about himself even though he doesn't fully understand. They kissed. Gon witnessed.

YJ started experiencing changes, he talked to Dr Shim about it and concluded that he's growing and perhaps has a crush on Dora.

One day, Dora asked if she could come along to visit his mom with him, he said sure. She "talked" to the mom and said he should do the same, and so he did. Then, he realised that maybe it's not as pointless after all, and it's like how Dr Shim bakes for his dead wife.

Mom opened her eyes, and he's planning to close down the bookstore. He donated some assessment prep books to the library where he came across Dora. He asked some questions and eventually, she also visited the bookstore. She frequent the library because it's quiet and not so open as the gym.

We're introduced to Dora Lee. She was in the same school but wasn't there often. She didn't have a care of what went on around her. It's rumoured that she was going to transfer to another school with a track team. She's a runner.
