A Painting Of A Man In His Underwear Art

Volume 1 – Chapter 1: “Running Away”

Story Points:

Ji Hun is bored and unhappy with his life in the band “Forever.” Inner thoughts reveal his frustration and desire to escape.

He decides to run away; changes his appearance with a ginger curly wig and glasses to hide his identity.

Ji Hun sneaks out, but security guards notice him and start chasing him.

While running, he accidentally bumps into Min Joon, a girl with long curly black hair, wearing a hoodie and baggy jeans. They fall on the ground.

Min Joon helps him up and insists on taking him to her home to relax.

She offers him tea and biscuits; they start talking. Ji Hun lies and says his name is “Jin” and that he is an accountant.

He notices posters of his band “Forever” in her room and realizes she is a fan. Min Joon praises Ji Hun’s voice, making him shy.

Ji Hun talks about never enjoying life; Min Joon promises to teach him how to enjoy life.

Ji Hun hesitates, worried about being recognized, but she reassures him. He agrees to go with her.

Min Joon prepares to take him outside, setting up the transition to Chapter 2 (car ride and amusement park).

Express without words “And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.” (2 Kings 23:3, KJV)

Nayoma washed his bowl and sat down in a meditative state. I’ll meditate first, then practice Bushin no Jutsu, then Body Flicker, then wall walking. After that, I’ll take a cold shower and sleep.  

He opened his eyes, jumped out of meditation, and formed the hand signs for Clone Jutsu. A puff of smoke appeared, and a clone popped up right in front of him. It wasn’t perfect — its earlobes were stretched oddly — but it was still a success.  

Well, not so perfect… but with time I’ll correct my mistakes. Hmn, I guess I really had it easier than Naruto. I’m sure even Kibe‑sensei couldn’t do this on his first try.  

The clone disappeared with a puff of smoke, leaving Nayoma standing there, satisfied but already thinking about the next step.
Siu Zi is a 10 year old Chinese girl in Guangzhou. Late one humid evening, Siu Zi's father meets with a discreet man known simply as Mr. Chen.  In a quiet corner of a small teahouse near the back alleys of Guangzhou, Mr. Chen explains, in careful whispers, how he can help the family obtain the documents they needed to leave the country safely. Other patrons are in the teahouse, and a waiter stands nearby, but nobody can hear what Mr. Chen is saying.  It's safe to talk here.
