00083 An Expanding World

/073

The day of the Grand Delliol. Sihyun and Rin took a swim and walked towards the eastern region. A lot of people passed by around him. Everyone was smiling at the thought that they could finally go out into the world.

In a world that turned to hell, after five years of giving each other a lot of encouragement, they arrived at the promised point. It was a rare sight for 100,000 people to see one place.

Sihyun also stepped in between and looked straight ahead. It was invisible because the place on the other side was covered with cloudy fog, but I could see it. It's about to open.

Kwaaaaang. Kwaaaaang.

You begin to shake with countless vibrations on the surface of the Grandeliol. The beginning of heresy, the forefront of destruction. And the birth of a new life. With a cheerful sound, the Grand Delliol is broken.

The outside world in five years. People who looked at Flomoia were amazed and sighed in their own way. Flomoia, who destroyed the Grandeliols, was confidently revealing its greatness in the outside world.

Those who were waiting outside the world truly celebrated the safe return of the survivors. Many reporters and survivors' families stand outside the Barricade, unable to hide their tears from the survivors.

Searchers, who have led thousands of people, have taken survivors step by step to the outside world. Swimming in a clumsy atmosphere with joy and joy bit my lips with a face mixed with joy and fear.

"Now we're really going out, man."

He leaned against his shoulder and recited it in a helpless voice. Sihyun stroked her head as she couldn't possibly know the mind of a refreshing swim.

"Yes, swimmer. You'll get to meet your real parents. So don't cry. You should smile on a day like today."

"That's right, my honeymoon with Si-hyun is starting today!"

Lin cheerfully replied as if laughing at the swim that could not act freely, and the swim whispered a curse in a ballstent.

"I won't be long. Aunt Lynn's reckless nature will bring wrath one day."

"What?!"

Swimming and Lynn growling at each other. Shi Hyun shakes his head looking at them and takes a step outside Grandeliol-Seong-Seoul. How hard it must have been because I couldn't take this one step. He looked back at the emotions that could not be expressed in words. Grandeliall, who's been through a lot of accidents, is no longer here. It was time for a new life.

Once he inhaled the air of the outside world, he looked around. The land was flat together. There were no buildings or shops. The landscape was a barren area of Gran Del Leon's files. I felt nervous and dull, rather than feeling lively and cozy.

Soon after Sihyun left, a large crowd of strangers came to the front of the swimming. The actions of those dressed in black suits were full of thievery and urgency. The demonstration of the amount of thought they had accumulated noticed what they were doing at once.

People in black suits stand in front of the swimming pool as if they didn't have anything to see, and watch out for her. Xi Hyun guessed how things were going, so there was no reaction. Lynn also did not make a move on whether she was aware of the situation.

"What's going on?"

The only swimming face I could see was the sudden appearance of people. To address her question, a man appeared among the men in black suits.

Despite wearing the same black suit as the others, he had a noticeable presence. Big as a bear. The left eye had a cloudy glow, whether it had lost its sight or not. Approaching the front of the swimming pool, the man bows as soon as he sees her.

"Miss, I'm here to pick you up."

"... Mr. Lee Woo-seong?"

Swimming was quicker than it looked.

"Yes, ma'am. You've grown up to be so beautiful without seeing it."

I realized that a swim that brought out unfamiliar memories five years ago was one of the bodyguards who helped my father, Cho-cheol, a long time ago. She was a person who used to take care of her when she was a child, so she remembered not to forget.

Reflexively, I realized that swimming was the time of parting. It's because I couldn't turn my back on the people who came to get her. But the swim was the last fool. I knew I couldn't, but I kept it in my mouth.

"Can I not go? Or can't we just go a little later?"

"Young lady, do you know how worried your parents have been? I can't wait any longer. I need to reassure my parents."

"But just a little bit more. Just by your side until it goes well..."

"Swimming."

After interrupting the sudden separation, she bowed her head and glanced at her. The eyes of the swimmer were glowing red. Sihyun wiped his tears around his eyes.

"You'll be able to see it anytime. You're not in Grandeliall anymore, are you? You can see it as much as you want, and you can go anywhere you want. And you have to talk to your parents about what you've been building up."

I nodded my head reluctantly as I listened to him. It's not the time to be foolish because she knows best. The swimming after realizing his appearance because of a sudden emotion turned red. The ominous thought that he would see himself as a child all his life, swimming quickly into his arms, appealing to the femininity.

"I'll do as you say. Instead, don't forget about me."

"You can't forget."

The swim with open arms embraced him and breathed into his arms. She went to great lengths to feel the warmth and body of Xi Hyun. Sihyun hugged her like that without hesitation.

"... Do you want to come with me?"

"It's a charming proposition, but I don't think I'll be there. I'll see you when it's settled."

I was curious about what Jo Chul, a world-famous figure, looked like, but he knew exactly where he was going and where he wasn't supposed to go. It makes no sense to interrupt the reunion between parents and children without even noticing.

The swimming out of his arms struggled to smile brightly. She followed a man named dominant, but could not keep her eyes off him.

"Swim. See you later."

Rin waves her hand as she watches the swimming pool disappearing far away, under the guard. Swimming helplessly waves back to repay her escort. Lin looks at the side face of her missing smile.

"I wish you'd let me be encouraged. Why are you looking so sad now?"

"I've never seen such a breakup before. It's exhausting. It's empty."

"It's not like I can't see forever, but I'm depressed. Don't worry. He'll stick around even if you tell him not to."

Lin's words sobered him up, and he followed a set path. Where they were headed was a temporary base of operations. The guide with the loudspeaker worked hard to explain, but the point was simple. In short, it was like following the instructions well.

Shi Hyun stepped into the makeshift base among a large group of people and looked at Rin.

"Lynn, what are you going to do? Are you going to look at the gap like this and disappear, or are you going to formally proceed?"

"I have an old identity, so I'm going to formally process it. I told you, it's been less than a year since I went back to the wild. If nothing else, I'll stay. And in order to marry you, I need an official ID. You can't live as a wanderer forever, can you?"

Lin crosses her arms with him. Shi 'col, the situation where the swim that disturbed her disappeared. Lin showed no hesitation in showing affection. But an obstacle appeared that prevented her.

The rope is broken into men and women. After realizing that the rope was breaking for the physical examination, Lin fell off the string with a puffy expression.

"I'll see you in a little bit. Si-hyun."

Lin instinctively realized that the number of people took as long as she needed to bite her molars and suppressed her desire to be with him.

"Yes, Lynn, you too. Don't leak anywhere else because it's annoying."

"You don't have to tell me!"

Seeing Lin's back disappearing far away, she turns her back and lifts herself onto a line of men. A subtle number named 15345 takes her into the tent of a male tent.

As it was a procedure to check the bottles obtained in Grandeliol for five years, the physician who was waiting inside told the story about the bandage wrapped around his right arm as soon as he saw the demonstration.

Sihyun asked the other party to [cooperate] because he didn't want to do it for such a small reason. Results are all green. After a quicker inspection than anyone else, the demonstration moved to the next location.

Piling up his personal details step-by-step in the numbering table 15345, he sat in a chair near him and waited for his turn to complete the last procedure. The standby declines at a rapid rate.

Whether government officials in South Korea were all gathered together or in the process, the work was as fast as light. Seeing the people at the Temporary Ops Base moving in Ilsabullan, she felt like she had come to a strange world.

Shortly after, however, Xi Hyun convinced himself that he had lived in the lawless zone for five years. It was natural to feel disconnected. But it's something you can't always look forward to. As long as civilization exists and you are back where you belong, you will have to adapt again.

He realized that his turn had come and sat face to face with the official. With his approval, Xihyun was now a free body.

"... Han Si-hyun's records almost match those stored in the database five years ago. There's nothing missing or that needs additional review, so you'll get a new ID soon. However, there are no relatives who have applied to take over Se-hyun. If you have any relatives in mind, please let us know. I'll make this quick."

Sihyun, who listened to the official for a while, remained silent. The request was attractive, but there was no one to entrust it to.

He was able to write the identity of Han Si-hyun because he had recovered his human image. But it was an orphan. My father died, and my mother ran away and made a new home. There was no mention of family members living outside Seoul in the memory of Shi Hyun. Even though I knew it, I didn't want to ask for help.

"No. I have to go through this by myself from now on."

"Well, read this piece of paper."

Sihyun listened to the official while carefully reading the handout in his hand. Many stories have been told, but the point is that the bailout policy for survivors is this good.

Free monthly support of ₩ 950,000 for 3 years under government support. Offers basic rituals. Job recommendations first. Self-education, if you like.

As policies and budgets have been in place for survivors for a long time, minimal guidelines have been presented. However, Sihyun was buried. It was untouched in my mind.

He realized that he had not set anything up. He will, too. He's been a priority all this time. Protesters decided to explore how to live in a society where survival is fundamentally guaranteed, and stepped up and signed the official's papers.
