[Community Board] I Just Saw Two S-Rank Awakeners
Views: 18,493
It was in the 6th Residential District!!!!
I just saw Seo Eui-woo and Kwon Jae-jin walking right past me…
They weren’t on a mission or anything. They were just in casual clothes. They did have their identification tags around their necks, though…
Anyway, they were dressed in light shirts and tees, with their caps pulled down low.
I mean… Everyone knows that Kwon Jae-jin is a mutant and originally from the 6th District. That’s like, common knowledge at this point.
There’s been a lot of talk lately about whether the bill to abolish the quarantine zone system is going to pass or not, but seeing them here makes it look like the new government is really pushing for it.
So, to get into more detail…
I was so shocked I couldn’t get a good look, but—
Both of them are tall as hell and ripped. Even with their caps and masks covering their faces, they stood out so much.
Seo Eui-woo is already crazy famous, right? Like, as all the witness accounts say—
Baby Angel Michael, Prince Charming, Aristocrat, Golden Retriever Boy, Baby Pink King Dumpling—his proportions were insane. There was this literal halo around him. And his skin?? So white and translucent… Just pure, unfiltered whiteness… It was like a perfectly hydrated, milky-white canvas??
I almost dropped to my knees and started praying the moment I saw him, LMAO. That’s just what he looks like. You instinctively feel like you should be humble in his presence, clasp your hands together, make the sign of the cross, and just… repent.
I didn’t get a proper look at Kwon Jae-jin, though… Seo Eui-woo was practically glued to him, sticking to him like a damn bodyguard. He was clinging so much that Kwon Jae-jin actually had to push him off a little.
One thing I can say for sure—Kwon Jae-jin’s photos do him dirty. You remember when his graduation photos leaked, and everyone freaked out?? LMAO. The vids put out by the Awakener PR department looked nothing like that… But nah, the graduation pics were just slander.
In real life, he looks exactly like he does in the vids. Buff as hell, broad shoulders. His face is small, his legs are long, and he looks solid. And when he turned his head… his jawline and nose bridge… fuck. Even with the mask on, you could tell he was fine as hell. Just a textbook classic handsome guy.
I mean, standing next to Seo Eui-woo and still looking good? That alone says a lot, LMAO.
Anyway, the two of them came out of a cafe near Hangang Bridge with coffee and headed toward Pyeonghwa Complex 3… Then there was a flash of light, and boom, they vanished.
Oh.
This part I’m sure about—they were both wearing matching rings on their left ring fingers.

ㄴAnonymous: It’s real. In the mission footage, you can see their combat gloves—both of their left ring fingers bulge slightly because of their rings. ▶ LINK Check from 7:29 in this vid.
ㄴAnonymous: ▶ LINK This vid at 1:02 shows it even clearer. You can see the ring sparkling through the torn glove.
ㄴAnonymous: Alright, fine. I lost. I was wrong.
Anonymous: Look, I get it, okay? I also think Seo Eui-woo and Kwon Jae-jin are insanely good-looking and I totally get why people stan them. But stop making up bullshit about them dating. They’re not some idols trying to bait fans with queerbaiting. They’re S-Rank Awakeners, risking their lives on missions and protecting the country. Why the hell do you guys keep turning them into fanfic characters… If you’re gonna do this, at least keep it in the shadows, for fuck’s sake…

Beyond the glass window, the white moon hung high in the sky, casting its soft glow over the world.
The shoreline shimmered under the rhythmic waves, their gentle crashes bringing a sense of peace. The surface of the glittering ocean looked like a silver carpet embroidered with countless diamonds, and the steady sound of the waves resembled a well-composed symphony.
“Can’t sleep?”
Seo Eui-woo stirred beside him, shifting closer as Kwon Jae-jin silently stared out the bedroom window.
He slid an arm around Jae-jin’s waist, burrowing against his side and pulling him into a tight embrace.
“Are you nervous?”
“……Yeah, a little.”
Kwon Jae-jin answered simply.
Any other night, it might not have been so difficult to fall asleep. But tonight was different.
“I figured. I’m nervous too.”
Seo Eui-woo pressed against him, nuzzling his cheek into the nape of Jae-jin’s neck. His hair, incredibly soft and curling slightly at the ends, tickled against Jae-jin’s ear.
“You hear that? My heartbeat.”
“……”
“This is bad. What face am I even supposed to make when I meet your family?”
Seo Eui-woo let out a quiet, pleasant laugh.
This was the moment they had been waiting for.
At last, they had received official clearance to enter the 6th Residential District.
Jae-jin’s hometown. The place where he was born and raised.
It was a place they had once even considered as a hideout, a refuge if they ever needed one. A dream destination that had only ever existed in words—one they could finally set foot in.
Of course, it wasn’t like they could come and go as they pleased just yet. They had only been granted a temporary permit, approved by the upper ranks of the Center, similar to how high-ranking military officials were given access to special residential zones.
It was just a temporary measure, a band-aid solution at best. But as the first step toward opening the districts for free travel, it wasn’t a bad start.
A barrier that once seemed utterly unbreakable was finally beginning to open its gates.
“Ah, I’m seriously nervous. Your family must look like you, right? Genetically speaking, it’s inevitable that they’d have similar features. And… I don’t even know if I’ll be able to talk properly. I’ve never had a family, so this is all completely new to me…”
Seo Eui-woo, unusually for him, let out a groan of distress.
Somehow, he seemed even more nervous than Jae-jin.
Jae-jin swallowed a chuckle and tried to soothe him.
“You’ll be fine. As long as you don’t say anything weird, there won’t be any problems.”
“That’s exactly the problem.”
Seo Eui-woo grabbed Kwon Jae-jin’s shoulders and forcibly turned him over, making him face him.
The view of the waves outside the window spun away, replaced by Seo Eui-woo’s clear, pale face.
“I have a hard time figuring out what exactly counts as ‘weird’ when you say it.”
