Jin was currently inside his ntal shooting range and was practising his shooting skills.
It looked like an underground basent with five shooting stalls. Jin was currently in the second stall, which had a board with a human shape drawn on it. It was placed 100 ters from Jin.
Jin aid the barrel of his beretta a little above the target's head and fired.
Bang!
The bullet zipped through the air and penetrated the target's head right in the middle.
A smile appeared on Jin's face when he saw that.
His skills had deteriorated after returning from his trip. It was only now that he had practised until it was four in the evening that he could match his previous self.
Jin soon exited the ntal range. The first thing he did after that was to open the system store to get the necessary items.

Jin re-equipped his inventory and bought a few more cartridges, followed by painkillers and a few fentanyl syringes.
Even though Jin had only 4 inventory spaces, upon experinting, he later found out that he could stack 10 items of the sa kind in a single space, however, it was not possible for different items.
With this done, Jin's attention then shifted to his Stat Panel, which had been bothering him for a while.

[A/N: Stat panel was last shown in Chapter 110]
His body constitution has decreased.
It was understandable because he was not keeping up with his regular exercise schedule when he was out for filming, but what he couldn't understand was the rise in his ntal constitution.
It rarely rose, but this ti it had jumped so much.
'Just what triggered it? I don't rember facing sothing that would have impacted ntally, though.' Jin thought.
A while later, Jin's attention was attracted by sothing he hadn't noticed before. It made him open up his phone to check the date.
26/05/2025
Today was Jin's birthday, and he had just turned 23 years old.
He had never celebrated his birthday after his parents' demise, so this day didn't hold much significance for him.
At least until that day the fragnts of which flashed through his mind.
Jin's head was resting on soone's lap. The other person's delicate fingers ruffled through his hair and played with his scalp.
Jin enjoyed the sensation and opened his eyes only to be welcod by the loving gaze of Diana.
'Your birthday's on 26th May, right, Jinny?' She asked lovingly.
'Yes, are you planning for my gift?' Jin grinned while asking.
'Of course I am,' Diana said, "and just you wait, it will be a gift you'll never forget' Diana pinched Jin's nose afterwards, making him get up from her lap.
Jin retaliated by tickling Diana all over as sounds of laughter surrounded the room.
The three-second-long flashback made Jin feel both nostalgic and guilty.
However, that feeling didn't last long.
Fana's enchanting face soon replaced Diana's in his mind and made his aching heart feel better, or so it seed.
A while later, he reached for his phone.
"She still hasn't called back." A frown appeared on Jin's face when he saw that.
He had promised Fana that he would cleanly break things off with Diana within a few days, so seeing that he had not received any response from Diana, he felt a bit vexed.
Jin pushed himself off the bed the next mont and went towards the refrigerator to drink so cold water.
While he was quenching his thirst, his phone started ringing.
'Finally, she called! I hope things will be sorted out between us without much of an issue,' Jin put the bottle down and reached for the phone in his pocket.
However, when he saw the call ID, he saw Fana's na instead.
Jin shook his head with a chuckle and connected the call the next mont.
"I missed you sooo much," Fana's energetic voice made a smile appear on Jin's face.
"I missed you too, my love. How about it? Wanna et?" Jin asked.
"I want to, but I'm taking care of sothing important right now, and while doing that, I faced a problem and thought of asking you for help," Fana said worriedly.
"Hm? What is it?" Sensing the hint of worry in her tone, Jin asked with a slight frown.
"You know my finances are not very good because of my previous films that flopped, right?" Fana asked Jin.
"Yes, I know. Do you need help with money?" Jin interpreted her words and asked.
"Gosh! I'm so embarrassed, but that is indeed the case. I'm with my designer right now, and she gave so dresses to try, which would suit when I accompany you to the LIFA awards, but they are a little expensive. I know I shouldn't be asking you for money like this, but I don't want to look shabby walking next to you there…" Fana said uncomfortably.
Hearing her, Jin interrupted and said, "Shabby? Co on, Fana, you look beautiful in whatever dress you wear, so you shouldn't say things like that."
"I feel the sa for you, Jin, because I love you, but the dia doesn't care. They will end up making several articles disparaging for not wearing expensive clothes at LIFA. I don't mind if it's just , but since we're together, your image will also get spoiled…" Fana said, frustratingly.
"You truly care so much for . Sorry, I was a bit shortsighted there. How much money do you need?" Jin asked after giving her words a thought.
"Not much, it's only 5 million Draks, you can surely help with that, right?" Fana asked expectantly.
"5 million Draks, isn't that quite a lot?" Jin couldn't help but ask.
"It's too much, right? I shouldn't have asked you, I'm really sorry. I'll just choose sothing cheape-" Fana said gloomily while waiting for Jin to interrupt her in between, and that's what he did.
"No, I don't an it like that. I'll surely help you, but it's just that I've never heard of clothes this expensive…" Jin imdiately replied, not wanting to hurt Fana's feelings.
"Since you've never been to an award show yet, it's natural that you don't know. The actors wear dresses costing millions of dollars, and spending millions of Draks on dresses is quite normal for them," Fana paused and continued, "On that note…you haven't chosen what you're going to wear at LIFA, right? How about I ask my designer to recomnd clothes for you, too? Oh wait! We can even wear a matching design!"
"A matching design?" Jin asked.
"Yes! Just imagine us two sitting together in the sa designer clothes, looking like a match made in heaven! Won't that be a very morable experience?
We might even stand out as the best couple out there and attract the envious gazes of everyone…just thinking about it fills with joy. Don't you feel the sa?" Fana asked excitedly.
"Y-yes, it sounds like a fantastic idea, let's do that then," Jin wasn't interested at first but sensing how excited Fana was, he decided to agree to that idea.
"Great! I'll send my designer back now and tomorrow the two of us will visit her studio for asurents and to decide on a design," Fana said.
"Sure, sounds great to ," Jin agreed.
"See you tomorrow then, Ba-Bye love you," Fana cheerily replied and disconnected the call.
With this done, Jin once again tried to call Diana, only to get the sa automated ssage from his device.
'I'll just go and give her a visit,' Jin could wait no longer and went out of the hotel after getting ready.
A while later, he parked his car just outside Diana's apartnt building and made his way towards it.
"Huh? Even the outer door gate is locked? She never locks the outer steel door… did she go sowhere?" Jin muttered to himself in confusion.
He turned towards the neighbouring door and rang the bell.
An old lady opened the door a few monts later.
"Good evening, ma'am, I'm Diana's…friend. I ca here to visit her, but her door was locked. By any chance, do you know where she went?" Jin asked the old lady.
The old lady scrutinised for a second and, after concluding in her mind that Jin didn't look like a shady individual, she finally answered, "Oh, that child? She left the country for work yesterday. She even gave an apple pie before leaving, even though I kept refusing her. Isn't she sweet? I hope she works a lot there and earns a lot of money. I've heard…"
Jin's mind went blank the mont he heard the lady's first sentence.
'She left the…country?' An incredulous expression appeared on his face which was accompanied by a stinging feeling in his chest and the following words escaped his mouth imdiately, "Why…? Why did she leave?"
