Chapter 107 – The Person I Thought Didn’t Exist

What the hell is going on?
The flash just now was definitely the kind of explosion caused by the thunderbolt that Kim Joo-won took out as an Awakener.
What’s going on with him now

“Kim Joo-won?”

Why was he today who didn’t pull out his thunderbolt sword after defeating the tracking party that was chasing us in the first place?
In this place where everyone can see, why did he take out his sword?

Obviously, the man holding the sword that crackles as if it has lightning in it is Kim Joo-won.
But then, who the hell is the woman fighting Kim Joo-won?

‘Bird…’

At least now, it was clear that something serious had happened to him.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have any crazy thoughts about destroying the stable life he’d been able to find with his own hands.
It was clear what I had to do right now.

The ideal that came out of the academy in the middle.
That I, the only one who can be on the same side for a guy who doesn’t have one on my side, has to join them right now.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t jump in right now.
Because I have a baby in my arms.
Jumping into battle while holding a child is the same as saying you will kill a child.

‘What should I do…’

He gritted it.
As he saw Kim Joo-won confronting the black-haired woman he had never seen through the eyes of the dimension, his heart was pounding.

Ominous.
If I don’t intervene right now, I feel like if something goes wrong, it’s going to go pretty badly wrong.
These things come together.

‘It’s still a new baby…’

Actually, there is no way.
I already have experience of transferring not only myself but also others with dimensional transfer.
Living in Lee Seo-ha’s body, his mana has matured to the point where it’s on a different level than when he first possessed this body.
It’s a matter of sending me and Sae-ah to Seo-yeon’s house through dimensional transfer and then participating in that battlefield.

‘You can do it.’

However, the problem is that Sae-ah is still a weak baby.
Perhaps even a three or four year old would have tried it without hesitation.
Indeed, the anxiety of whether it can be done for a baby who has not yet passed two months since birth.
Anyway, the thought that my thoughts were wrong and Sae-ah was wrong was making me not to try it rashly.

But, was my concern wrong?
Maybe I shouldn’t have even thought about it and should have just moved on.

It is a situation where you can hide in a building through the eyes of the dimension.
There, even though it is such a place that even the Awakened cannot perceive, it is momentary.
Why do I feel like I’ve met eyes with a woman who started fighting with Kim Joo-won?

‘It must be because of my mood.’

It was the moment when I thought that I had to evacuate the new child from this place, dismissing it with such thoughts.

I hear a jiggling sound from behind.
Having a lot to live for.

“Hi?”

I get goose bumps and feel like my heart is being squeezed just by standing next to it.
Her appearance seemed to make her whole body freeze at the thought of not being able to escape her.

“It’s our first time meeting, aren’t we Seoha?”

And, without a moment to recognize, the positions of Sae-ah and I were reversed.
To the ruins that had been a well-tended flower bed where Kim Joo-won and her had been fighting until just now.

“Uh?”
“Why are you surprised? You’ve been doing it a lot.”

Then, at the sound of a woman’s voice coming from behind her, she slowly turned her back while holding her baby in her arms.
Then what caught her eyes.

“No way, it’s the first time we’ve met in person?”

Luscious black hair that fell down to her back.
If you are a man, you have an attractive body that you want to covet at least once.
And…

“Lee Seo-ha.”

Just like me now, slightly darker as if looking at a sapphire.
Even the mysterious blue eyes that look like jewels.

“In that case, I might be a little disappointed.”

The person I thought would not exist in the world but me.

Seoha Lee.

As she now stands vividly in front of my eyes, she is looking down at me holding her baby in her arms.
I too sat down in front of her, blankly staring at Lee Seo-ha, who looked exactly like me.

“You…?”

I couldn’t believe the reality in front of me.
Obviously, I was the one that the regressor Kim Joo-won called Lee Seo-ha.
Then, I’m clearly endorsing it.

“No, come to think of it, I’m Yiseoha, right?”

Why am I in front of you like this?
Her hair went white in an instant.

*

“Whoa.”

I rubbed my eyes for a while in the design studio.
After staring at the computer monitor for almost three hours without moving, my eyes seemed to be getting tired.
1st year 1st semester.
It’s such a time when some say that it’s the last period to play, and not to be so furious.

However, I didn’t listen to what others said, and ignored all invitations to go to events like Fighting.
In the first year, I was alone in this place, and today I was working hard on my keyboard and mouse while doing my homework.
With one single thought to do it perfectly, no one can say anything even if they see it.

‘I’m thirsty.’

But was it too much for my weak, weak eyes to stare at the monitor for three hours in a row?
This is why things that display information on the screen were inconvenient.

A childhood accident that I don’t even remember.
After that, I used to supplement my vision with the current of electricity flowing around me with my eyesight that was slightly less than others.
Because the screen was an output device that depended only on sight.
It’s not like it’s uncomfortable at the level of a blind person, but it’s true that it’s uncomfortable compared to seeing and feeling normal people.

‘I’ll have to drink some water.’

Thinking that I should take a break, I slowly got up from my seat.
Then, without realizing it, the surrounding scenery with many people came into view.
Except for those who were about to graduate, or those who were more eager to learn than others, it seemed like everyone else had left.
If it’s not both, there might be some circumstances like me, but that’s none of my business.

“Whoa.”

I pulled out an ion drink from the vending machine and opened the lid.
If it was originally the same, Seoha would take a little break around this time, and she would bring fruit or something to drink.
Now that she is not by my side, I had to take care of myself to some extent.
The rest of her life, since she decided to dedicate everything to her sake, is what she must do if she wants to atone for her and take responsibility for her.

‘I’ll have to do it quickly and go in.’

I glanced at my watch.
Originally, I try to get home as much as possible before 7pm, but I took a small breath when I saw that the clock on my phone screen indicated the time at around 6:20pm.

Maybe it’s a little late today.
I don’t want to go in late, even for Seoha and Saeah.
It was the moment when I was about to contact Seoha, thinking that it might be a little late today.

“Joo-won hyung? I thought he was going to the bathroom for a while.”

Who came to find me?
I’m still at home with Sae-ah, and it’s not time to come out looking for me.
Why did someone come looking for me when I didn’t build close relationships at school?

‘Is this Lee Seo-yeon?’

It’s a moment, but I cautiously moved to the design studio, making a reasonable inference that could come out in this situation.
It must be Lee Seo-yeon, my sister-in-law.
I thought she came to see me to discuss what to do next, since I even ran into her at her house, who hated me so much.

“Thank you.”

Until you hear that unique voice that you will never forget.
Until I heard her voice in my memory, the same as the one I have to be responsible for, but with her unique madness and sensuality subtly blended together.

“This…Seoha?”

Spit out a name
At the same time, the back of a woman with black hair and a black dress caught my eye.
Certainly, the name she thought there would be no other way to call her besides her now existing in this world.

“Ah, there he is. Joo-won hyung! This person here is looking for hyung!”

How many times have I been frozen in my life?
He probably didn’t have it as he lived a very long life that was incomparable to others.

“It was you too.”

Even so, I couldn’t help but freeze, feeling as if my heart was sinking.
The woman I see now in front of her eyes, she is definitely the woman I know.
The kind of person who should atone for her and who looks horribly identical to her and who she wants to protect.

“Joo Won.”

However, even though she looked exactly like her, I could tell right away.
The woman in front of her now is not the one who only got hurt from me.

“Long time no see.”

A crazy bitch who threw off the shackles so that I couldn’t stop returning, and gave me hell for a long time.

“Lee Seo-ha, how did you…?”

My voice trembled.
It was like seeing a dead person in real life.

“Well.”

But that strangely sticky voice that I hear in my ears is definitely…

“Are you going to talk about it here? You have so many eyes?”

No.
Apparently she died then.
The moment I pierced my own heart with the scissors of time, the key to sever the return, which I had been searching for so hard.

“Shall we leave at once?”

Then.
Who is this woman in front of me?
The girl who casually walks up to me and quietly holds hands while talking to Lee Seo-ha.

“How are you…?”
“You seem to have a lot of questions, Joo Won.”

At that moment, her face came close to her ear.
It felt like my heart froze at that signature signal that I wish others wouldn’t listen to.

“If you want, you can solve the story of the return and all this here.”

This is because it was a gesture that Lee Seo-ha showed until the last episode that I know of, which Lee Seo-ha now does not show.
Because she was once a lover, she was able to approach me naturally, and to treat me as a toy, so she could be close to herself without hesitation.
She did something that only she could do.

“…Follow me.”

At the same time, I felt the same amount of mana that Lee Seo-ha couldn’t use properly.
In the end, I gritted my teeth and had no choice but to be dragged along as she said.
Long time.
It was because the intuition that had been strengthened by returning was telling me.

The inner meaning of what she is conveying to me now is that it is not a choice, but a compulsion.
