‘Should I have said we should sleep separately?’ Seeing Jinwon so drained made Hyewoo wonder if he had been selfish to insist on sleeping together. Every night, Jinwon had comforted Hyewoo whenever he woke from a fit, without missing a single day. Hyewoo had been so focused on his own suffering that he hadn’t thought about how much hardship Jinwon, who stayed by his side, was enduring. Not wanting to make Jinwon uncomfortable during the meal, Hyewoo watched him carefully for the time being. It was…-

“…Who? Ah…. Ji Hojun.” Exhausted to the point of collapse, Hyewoo did not notice anything strange about Jinwon’s question. Jo Huitae, Cha Yunho, Choi Yeogyeong, and Ji Hojun. At the time, Kang Jaejun was not a member of Delta Team. “Did Ji Hojun join after Kang Jaejun left?” “Yes….” “Why can’t I see Kang Jaejun?” “Esper Kang Jaejun originally went into a rampage at Jo Huitae’s birthday party, but….” “You saved him.” Hyewoo nodded to say that was right. He looked at…

Hyewoo was certain that this was the moment Hyejin had spoken of. The moment Jinwon would finally defeat Seoin and save him. ‘Hyung, let’s go, let’s go together…!’ But the Jinwon in the dream could not hear Hyewoo. Hyewoo ran frantically toward him until his feet were covered in blood, but Jinwon only grew farther and farther away. ‘Hyung…. Together, I want to go too….’ Hyewoo ran breathlessly until he tripped over the rubble of a collapsed building. No, hyung would never leave him…

Isak, the mental-type Esper who had come to treat Hyewoo, told him that he had avoided the worst possible outcome. His memories would return soon, and although the process would be difficult, it would not leave any lasting effects. But Hyewoo could not understand the word fortunate at all. He had gone to sleep and woken up to learn that his mom and dad had been murdered by Lee Seoin. And it had happened a long time ago. He could not drive the thought from his mind that it would have been better when he…

At that moment, Jinwon asked as though he had read Hyewoo’s mind, “I have some hot chocolate. Would you like that?” “Yes. I’ll have some.” Hyewoo, who had been looking glum, answered immediately without even pretending to refuse. Soon, a sweet scent spread through the living room. The hot chocolate Jinwon made was deliciously sweet enough to sting his tongue. Hyewoo sipped it slowly, trying to make it last, but eventually got a second cup. Hyejin arrived when he was almost finished with the…

Regeneration-type Espers only die when their hearts are destroyed. Hyewoo’s suicide attempt had failed, and the wound in his left chest had healed itself cleanly, as though nothing had ever happened. The only traces left were dried bloodstains here and there. Hyewoo, however, did not wake up. “His physical condition is perfectly normal. The reason he can’t wake up is psychological.” Isak looked down at Hyewoo with eyes swollen from crying. Early that morning, he had heard that they were going to…

From what Hyejin had seen, Isak’s fondness for Hyewoo seemed to have influenced his decision to some extent. Unfortunately, it was a feeling that had no chance of working out. “That’s everything I’ve prepared. Use it however you wish, Baek Jinwon-ssi. If you don’t need it, you may disregard it. If you want me to stay out of the way and behave myself, I will.” “Good. Then let’s go now.” At Jinwon’s words, Hyejin and Kim Bongsu looked out the window. It was just past noon, and the…

‘Your parents are such good people, so I suppose you two grew up to be good kids too. I’d love to have children like Hyejin and Hyewoo.’ To earn Hyejin’s trust, Seoin deliberately acted like a kind adult. Before long, Hyejin began to trust him and follow him around, eventually setting foot in his laboratory. Seoin always told Hyejin sweet things. ‘Meeting you and Hyewoo was the greatest stroke of luck in my life.’ Trusting a mental-type Esper was practically the same as erasing one’s own…

Hyewoo remembered how unhappy he had been in the past. He had always been terrified beside Seoin, who could change at any moment. He had always been lonely and anxious. He had not known it back then, but now he did. His heart sank heavily. Hyea, living in the laboratory, must be feeling the same anxiety Hyewoo had felt every day back then. That was not something that should be swept aside in the name of family. “Hyea.” Only after facing Hyea, who resembled his past self, did Hyewoo’s mind clear as…

“Father, then how much longer do I have to wait…?” “Hmm, well. There isn’t any set period….” Seoin furrowed his brow. “If I had to put it into words, until our Hyewoo comes to his senses?” “What?” It had already been nearly a week since Hyewoo woke from his coma. He did not understand what Seoin meant by coming to his senses. “Do you know how hurt Dad’s been feeling lately? Dad is just waiting for our Hyewoo to come to his senses and return to the way he was.” “Ah….” The…

Seoin asked again, unable to understand the answer. “Because I have to live for Father…. And to do that, I have to live for Jinwon hyung…….” “Which comes first, Dad or Baek Jinwon?” “……” Hyewoo could not say anything. His lips merely moved soundlessly. “It’s all right. Don’t be afraid. Try answering.” “……” Jinwon hyung…. Hyewoo spoke without making a sound, shaping the words only with his lips. Seoin knew who Hyewoo had chosen without needing to hear him say it…

“Tsk.” Seoin looked down at Hyewoo’s fallen body as though he were an annoyance. He should have stopped when told, but he had insisted on making Seoin intervene personally. “Move him to the bed. And put restraints on him, just in case.” “Yes.” Two researchers hurried over and lifted Hyewoo. To prepare for the possibility that he might wake up and cause another disturbance, they fastened restraints around both his wrists and ankles. Seoin then attached dozens of devices to Hyewoo’s body once…
