Soon, South Korea started to go to nations meetings again.

Many wondered how he could keep that goofy smile and bubbly attitude even after he got injured by his own brother, at his supposedly safe home.

The Asian would simply shrug off stating that after so many years, he actually grew used with all those threats, and if he were going to panic or anything on those lines, nothing productive would originate on his country and that didn't increase his chances of surviving at all. So, freaking out was just a waste of time and energy.

As practical as it sounded, it was so out of common sense that to anyone who didn't know him well, it looked like he either was unable to take anything seriously for the live of him or that he was as insane as his twin, just more sociable and less hazardous.

He even asked Egypt if he could originate a pyramid now that being a mummy was originating on him!

But America knew better. He knew that even if it was true that his buddy was somewhat used to the constant menaces from his neighbor, he was also too proud to let everybody see him as a helpless damsel in distress of some sort. Even if being aware that a surprise attack could be fatal originated on the already harmed brunet.

Being tougher than he looked like originated in Korea, especially when other than being absent on a few (useless) meetings while recovering, he didn't let that wound affect his nation's matters.

However, lately the peninsular nation was acting weird(er).

He would blush or smile at nothing, sending shiver on even England's spine.

He would whisper and giggle by himself.

He would often be with his hands 'floating' above furniture or the like.

At times, his easygoing happy smile would wear off and the hero could glance at a somewhat worried and deep in thoughts expression on his buddy's face.
