Chapter 418: Epilogue
[The great North Korea has approved the South’s request to connect the Eurasian Rail,” the North Korean female announcer, dressed in hanbok, read the announcement with an exaggerated intonation as if drawn from below.
[This lays the groundwork for North-South peace development. To prevent the rail’s construction from being disrupted, the North and South have decided to entrust its management to the Eurasian Rail Committee.]
At the same time, the announcement from North Korea’s central broadcast was also being reported on South Korean news.
“Wooaaaah!”
Soldiers in the Samsung-dong office erupted into loud cheers. Kang Chan felt the urge to give them all a pat on the back while Kim Hyung-Jung was crying too hard to even even move.
What did we have to go through to get here?
Kim Hyung-Jung slowly stood up and walked to the window. To achieve this, Kim Tae-Jin had to meet Kang Chan first.
Just when he had given up everything in Mongolia, Kang Chan appeared out of nowhere and rescued him. Countless even more astonishing events had followed since then. He remembered Choi Seong-Geon, Hwang Ki-Hyun, Song Chang-Wook, and the other soldiers, including those who fell in the International Building, Libya, and Mongolia.
Their families also came to mind: Lee Yoo-Seul, who kept asking for her father until the end; Um Ji-Hwan’s elderly mother, who buried her dead son and went down to Jangseong; the wife of the counter-terrorism team soldier who sacrificed himself in the International Building; and the struggling smile of Yang Dong-Sik’s daughter.
