“What kind of world did you live in? ”

Sarah, who was lying on the floor, raised her head and asked. Sitting a little further away, Baek Hyun suddenly opened his eyes to the question.

“I'm asking you something crazy. ”

“I've seen you for quite some time, and I know your name is Baek Hyun and your age. All I know is that I was called here as a disciple of the Atheist after riding the Celestial Castle. ”

Sarah spat out like that and aroused herself. She gazes at Baek Hyun as she rubs the blood on her nose with the back of her hand.

“Don't you know enough? ”

“No man, no man. You and I have known each other for over a decade. ”

It was more than twenty years since Baek Hyun came to the monastery. Since her first encounter, Sarah has come once a week to ask for rain, and has never won a victory for Baek Hyun. That didn't mean Sarah wasn't growing up. It was only Baek Hyun's achievement that preceded Sarah.

“That's right. ”

Baek Hyun mutters like that and looks up at the gray sky of the monastery. Twenty years. He was originally twenty-one years old, so he spent many years outside the monastery.

I couldn't help but notice that a lot of time had passed. Every day was almost unchanged and the same, but faithful. Living in an orphanage, going to school, part-time, what the hell are you doing in the future... I couldn't think of a life that I was thinking about right now.

“That's a fun place. ”

Talking about the ‘hometown’ that came to mind a long time ago, Sarah stretched her mouth. Throughout listening to the story, she glittered with two eyes. Wondering what he looked like, Baek Hyun asked about Sarah's hometown.

“It was a ruin.”

Sarah replied with a big face.

“It was nothing. It wasn't as peaceful as the world you lived in. Every day, I get tired of fighting, I get tired of war. I never want to go back. ”

“You're not going back? ”

“I don't want to go back. What about you? You want to go back home? ”

In response to that question, Baek Hyun suddenly stopped speaking.

Return home.

When I first came into the monastery. When I was told to be a disciple, sitting in front of Joo Hano without even knowing the preeminence of the posterity. At that time... I just wanted to go back to the world I used to live in. But now?

Monastery is an amusing place. The only people who live here are Joo Hano, Baek Hyun, Yuan Yuan Wang, and Sarah. Of course, there is a lexicon, but I can't call her a resident of the monastery. No, there are no real ‘residents’ in the Monastery in the first place. This is no more than a brief stay because of the foolishness of those who precede the line.

Park Cheon Shinhwa of Baek Hyun has reached the 4th Star. If you achieve the 5th Star, Joo Hano will make a fool and climb. Then... Baek Hyun felt good about drawing the future.

I want to go back home. Such a heart is not completely gone. I wanted to meet a colony that I had been friends with since I was an orphanage, and I want to eat or drink food that I didn't eat at the monastery. In that way, there was so much I wanted to do.

What about the ball?

What about the Pacheon Shinhwa?

Returning home. Returning to Korea in the 21st century. Doing nothing there? Where can I use all my learned skills? What can I do with a strong body? You won't have to worry about eating. If you are a fighter, you will quickly become a world champion, and if you start a sportsman with any discipline, you will quickly become a national champion and be able to sweep through the gold medal.

"That's not funny."

Baek Hyun smiled and thought, I lived every day fighting for the purpose of gaining experience. I fought with the teachers of the past, and with the characters in my teacher's memory. Leave every day like that, go back to your peaceful hometown... and adapt to that life. It's airless. You can do it alone. Meditation or something.

‘It's really not fun. ’

“So, if you don't go back home, where are you going? ”

“I just decided. ”

Sarah said with a big face.

“I want to follow you. ”

At that time, Baek Hyun's eyes widened.

“... what nonsense? ”

“It's not bullshit. ”

“Why are you following me? ”

“I told you, I don't want to go back to my hometown. And I just got interested in your hometown. ”

“You're just gonna follow me for that? ”

“... and I've fought with you so many times, I've never beaten you. You have to win once. ”

Sarah's voice became smaller and sounded like she was mumbling. She glances at White-hyun's face and suddenly raises her body. Then, looking at Baek Hyun's face, he swung away.

“I'm going back.”

“What's all of a sudden? ”

“What a jerk. Just knocking all the time...! What's the point of punching him in the face? ”

That was clear. I had to punch him in the face to make it easier to fall.

“Son of a bitch! ”

Sarah spits like that and leaps from the garden to the wall. Baek Hyun looks away at Sarah's back and laughs in vain.

“I don't know what that means. ”

I've been thinking about my hometown for a long time, but it didn't feel so good. I sat in a patriarchal seat to make myself feel uncomfortable. I ran the Park Cheon Shinhwa. Baek Hyun's body was curled in a subtle black light.

Fifteen years in the monastery grazed my head. There were so many things going on. I've had a lot of fights. Now there was no excuse for lack of experience. Nor is there a lack of internal porosity. Along with the leading internal combustion engine that had already been eaten 10 years ago, the amount of internal combustion that had been accumulated was enormous. The greater the achievement of the Pacheon Shinhwa, the larger the size of the shear, and the greater the amount of internal pores.

‘The King wants to complete the Mandarin Flame and the Golden Flame. ’

It was a minor greed, but it was too much for Baek Hyun now. Of course, Baek Hyun is almost like a mango and a golden flame, but he could not say that he reached a true mango or golden flame. However, the more he performs the pagan mythology, the closer his body will be to a true monolith and golden flame, and one day he will not be subjected to shearing or internal pores.

“Do you know anything?" ”

The question I heard a long time ago suddenly filled my head. I don't know. I didn't even care. I thought I had nothing to do with it my whole life. I never thought I wanted to know. Of course I didn't think I wanted to learn anything. I thought it would continue in the future.

Everything has changed. The voice I heard that day. The encounter of that day. A talent that you didn't realize for yourself. A genius. It's just a talent that was born with good luck. I met Joo Hano because I was lucky and was called here to blossom my talent.

I was grateful for all that. Do you know anything? Can you answer that question... now? In fact, I still don't know. For Baek Hyun, "nothing" was still difficult. Twenty years living in a monastery. Baek Hyun had never considered what "nothing" was on his own. I didn't even feel the need to know what it was.

But it is.

Unlike before, I was interested. I thought there was a connection. I wanted to know. I wanted to learn. I wanted to continue. For Baek Hyun, "nothing" became fun. It became the only good thing. I've been wanting to do it all my life.

You don't have to give me an answer right now. Moving forward, walking to the dance hall. I know what my dance is. You will seek your own answer to what is nothing.

"Ah."

When I thought about it, I felt that everything was meaningless. It doesn't matter whether you're a monk or a hometown. What matters is me, not the place. Where is "I"? What I do is important. Whether you're a fighter or a deadbeat, it's enough if "I" walks the stage and seeks nothing.

That's not funny.

It's really not fun.

It's not funny. I thought too hastily without even trying. After all, I will continue to walk the dance.

What you want to do. Pursuing. Objectives. That certainly exists. Completing the pagan mythological republic. Walking my own dance. That's it. The answer seemed to be clearer in my blurred head.

I remembered the body of Baek Hyun who sat on the Patriarch's throne. The subtle black light that surrounded his body darkened. Baek Hyun continued to breathe in the air. White-white skin splits in black light. I heard a rumbling sound from the inside of my body. The stagnant Shim Heart moved to a distant place, forming the Circumferential Atherosclerosis. And Qi in his body became more dense.

The pagan Shinhwa, which has been stagnant for many years, has finally reached 5 stars.

“Hyun.”

Baek Hyun opened his eyes.

Teacher. The goddess Juhano was watching him with compassionate eyes. Baek Hyun smiled bitterly and looked at Joo Hano. For a moment, the two masters looked at each other without saying anything.

“You have an enlightenment. ”

“It's nothing but enlightenment. ”

“Didn't you give your own answer to the things you turned your back on? ”

Juhano smiled and asked. In response, Baek Hyun laughed in disgust.

“Everyone can change, but it's really hard to change. Also, facing the problem of being scared and turning away in front of you and giving answers is also very difficult. ”

“... I don't know. ”

Baek Hyun sits still and looks down at his body. Echinoconstriction. He could have guessed what had just happened to his body.

“Enlightenment... I really, really didn't do a great review. ”

“The headquarters doesn't know what you've realized. ”

Juhano shook his head and said,

“Realization is always sudden. Starting with the passing thought slice, grasping it and pursuing it persistently are most of the realizations. It is not important to be great and not great. It was the prefecture that needed you. And the answer made you change. ”

Look, Joo Hano raised his hand and pointed to Baek Hyun.

“Have you not changed because of him? It is one of the great blessings of being able to think that you can change by considering yourself. Thy body was changed, and thy spirit was changed, because thy heart sought to be changed. And the wall that stood in the way of you fell. ”

Joo Hano was genuinely pleased and proud of his disciples' achievements. Baek Hyun looked at the teacher and laughed bitterly.

“... Your foolishness is gone. ”

“The throne is more glad that you, a disciple than that, have attained it. ”

Joo Hano reached out to Baek Hyun. Baek Hyun stood up with Joo Hano's hand.

“What did you talk to Sarah about? ”

“We talked about our hometown. ”

“That was your problem. ”

“I didn't think it was very important, but it was pretty important. ”

“Because you have to leave here eventually. It is inevitable. So, did you come up with an answer? ”

“We have to go back. We have nowhere else to go. ”

In Baek Hyun's words, Joo Hano nodded his head with a blunt smile.

“You're not going straight to the top, are you? ”

“You don't have to be so hasty. ”

Joo Hano said so and headed into the mansion with Baek Hyun.

“Shouldn't we share a cup of wine between the masters before the parting? First and last. ”

At that moment, Baek Hyun's steps stopped. Joo Hano, who was walking earlier, looked back at Baek Hyun with a suspicious expression.

“What's the matter? ”

“... no, it's ridiculous. ”

Baek Hyun frowns and stares at Joo Hano.

“If you had a drink, give it to me immediately! ”

Hano's face trembled as he shouted aloud.
