- AAAH!

San shot up, almost banging his head on a wall in the motion. God. Clumsiness should just disable itself when you're scared.

He looked around, witnessing that the sun was already up. It was weird, coming from a two starred-moon to this planet with its lonely sun. The light was nice, all things considered. Whiter, gentler.

San could understand why his dad chose this place to flee.

He explained him everything that has been going on the night before. His father looked a bit starstruck. In five years here he got used to « normality », everyone being an oblivious non-bearer, he had never even heard of the pirates so to learn that his own son had been endangered by them...

That's what San held against him. Leaving his mother, he understood. She was unbearable. But leaving him? He was not a kid anymore, but did that mean that he wasn't in need of a father? In need of a foyer? Of a place he could call home?

It all came down on him, that he had no plans for the future. Antigone was gone, Wooyoung's crew too. He could stay at his father's, but was it really home? Plus that would mean quitting his job, and he had a hard time picturing that.

Right, his job!

On the day of the evacuation, he had noticed that his chief Jongho was already gone. Was he okay though?

He hurriedly tapped on the screen of his wristwatch, hoping for a signal.

But this was Earth. Of course he couldn't communicate with outer space.

He fell back onto his bed with a sigh. He didn't have a spaceship, so he couldn't even go back to space. And where would he find a pilot? Wooyoung- he was gone.

Physically gone, sure. But he didn't leave San's mind.

Okay, he said he would not get involved with all of his mysteries, but....it was too tempting!

He went back looking at his wristwatch again and started exploring « Jung Wooyoung, 21, non-bearer »'s file, looking for Infos.

The beginning of it was pretty much uneventful. Trespassing, mostly. God, the pilot really had a talent at being where he wasn't supposed to be. Landing with permission. Unsurprising. Illegal possession of weapons. San knew that Yuqi was a terrific shooter, but since that infraction was dated from three years ago, the weapons weren't hers.

He finally arrived at the juicy stuff.

« Murder ».

The word was hard to believe for bubbly, energetic and kind Wooyoung but it was here. Was it the most surprising part of this though? No. The chief of accusation read « Turned himself in at the age of 17 for the murder of Song Mingi, 17 years old, bearer. »

That left San speechless. He had no way to be sure that yesterday's Mingi was THE Song Mingi but...it was almost sure, and San could testify that he was very much not dead. That was enough to explain why the atmosphere was so tensed.

He sighed, leaning back on his pillow, silently praying that they would choke him to death.

That had to be one hell of a story.

He scrolled on the device, getting to the end of Wooyoung's file.

« Arrested at 20 for trespassing into Antigone's police station, and for suspicions of being a gang leader. Gang's goal and level of dangerousness are unknown. Known victims: Song Mingi, dead, and Song Yuqi, missing »

San chuckled at that. Missing? More like having fun with the ship's guns and being glued at her girlfriend!

But he was really curious as in why Wooyoung would break into the police station, of all places.

No, actually all things considered it made sense. Today, he had access to Wooyoung's file, but the man could have deleted it if he had managed to get ahold of a station's computer.

He shot up when a knock was heard on the door. His father peeked his head in, and San gestured for him to enter. He did so and sat on the bed, opposite of San.

- Good morning Sannie. Have you slept well? Last night was...eventful.

- Yeah, I slept just fine.

His father smiled gently. - And...do you know what you are going to do know?

San shook his head no. - Maybe I should stay here. Get a job at Neo Korea's police. Or study astrophysics like you and Mingi.

- My student Mingi...he is from space too, isn't he?

San nodded this time. This was a lot of head movements. He should consider stretching his neck.

- I didn't know. Maybe that's why he's such a good student. Don't you want to visit him to see your friend? I have his address if you want.

- No, but that's sweet. Wooyoung and I have...incompatible lifestyles.

- More incompatible than yours and mine?

His dad had a point. His father was a really laid back, calm person who lived off of camomile tea. San was determined and always on the look for something to do. Sure, he was not actually supposed to put his dad in prison but- Wait actually he was? Space-people were not allowed to randomly go on Earth??? Did he break the law too????? Should he go to prison??????

- San?

- I don't want to go to prison!

His dad looked a bit surprised, understandably so, before sighing. He knew he couldn't get all of San.

- I...suggest you don't go to prison, then. Go visit your friend instead. I love you Sannie, but this is not you. Earth is not you.

San's mind clicked in acknowledgement. His father had a new life here, different places, new jobs, new people. And he was not a part of all of this. His dad was happy and it was the most important.

- Okay, I will do that. he said, a hint of regret in his voice.

He bent forward, throwing his arms over his father's shoulders, pulling him into a tight embrace.

- I love you, dad.

- I love you too, Sannie. Please be happy.
