‘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…-

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…

“And Hyewoo, do you understand what you’re saying when you ask to stay here? It’s the same as telling Dad to sit still and wait to die.” Hyewoo went pale and shook his head. At some point, the strength had left the hand holding Seoin, and Seoin had taken hold of Hyewoo’s shoulders. “No, Father. That’s not what I meant…. I only wanted to….” “Whatever your intention was, the result is the same. Dad has no intention of leaving you here alone.” Seoin wore a sorrowful expression. From…

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…

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…

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…

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…

“…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…

‘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…

He couldn’t keep the two of them tied to this place forever just because of him. Hyewoo might not mind it, but the others probably wouldn’t like being confined to a single location. “If that is what you wish, Young Master, then I will arrange it. Will you be all right without them here?” “I’ll be fine. If I miss them, I can go visit them again….” “All right. Then we shall do that.” Jinwon informed the two of them that very day. Everything proceeded swiftly, as though all that had been…

Only after several minutes had passed did Hyewoo manage to turn around with difficulty. His legs trembled violently. He walked weakly toward the bedside table, as he had intended from the beginning. It was when he finally managed to take hold of the medicine bottle that it happened. “……” Hyewoo felt as though his heart had stopped. Calm eyes, utterly free of sleepiness, were watching him. Hic. His body, startled to the point of fainting, let out a hiccup. Hyewoo froze with his hand still around the…

After lunch, Hyewoo headed to the Esper counseling center with Jinwon. It was his first outing in a very long time. Even counting the time he had spent inside the gate, he had no idea how long it had been since he had gone outside. The scenery flashing past the car window seemed novel again, and Hyewoo spent the entire trip to the counseling center pressed against the glass, looking outside. “How does it feel to be out again after so long?” “It’s a little strange, but… I like it.” After Hyewoo…
