“You did it wrong. ”

With red eyes and nose tips, Sarah murmurs like that. After a while she cried, she sat on the couch curled up, eating only ice cream. Baek Hyun sits on the bed that occupies the middle of the living room and looks at Sarah.

“You haven't been back for a month. I don't know where she went... but she suddenly showed up and said you went to the ship. I am, I am. I thought you left me on the line. ”

“I told you I was coming back. ”

“It's been a month. That's why I did it. Angry, yeah, 'cause if I make too many plates, it stinks... I can't get out of here. That's why.”

Sarah frowns as she squirms her lips. She protested to show Baek Hyun herself. It was a peaceful demonstration. Baek Hyun sighed.

“I'm sorry.”

First of all, I bowed down and let him in.

“I didn't go to the ship because I wanted to. I was just looking at it. It's real.”

“How did you get there? ”

“I moved you out of here, and then I was attacked by a monarch like King of Dragons. That's why I fell underground and wandered through the strange darkness, and then I was drawn to some kind of power and led to the lineage. ”

“... if I use that method, can I go to the ship like you? ”

Sarah raises her eyes and looks at Baek Hyun. In response to that question, Baek Hyun kept his mouth shut for a while.

“No, I can't. ”

In fact, there was no need to worry about this answer. It was thanks to the guidance of light that Baek Hyun was able to go to the ship. Sarah, who is not guided by the light, can never go to the lineage.

“... I miss you. ”

Did you expect that answer? Sarah's disappointment was not much on her face. But that didn't mean Sarah was emotionally calm. She lowers her head and squeezes her gathered toes.

Looking at Sarah like that, I couldn't even shoot her about making the house open. Especially because of the stories I've heard from the Snowflake. Baek Hyun got up at noon and sat next to Sarah.

“... he's doing well. ”

I sat by Sarah's side. I saw Sarah's shoulders twitch. After a short pause, Baek Hyun reached out and threw Sarah's shoulder. Sarah raises her head and looks surprised.

“What's wrong with you? ”

“What?”

“What did you eat wrong? ”

“What's he saying all of a sudden? ”

“Why aren't you angry? ”

Sarah asked with a confused expression. It was a reasoned rebellion for her to leave the house like this, but she was not worried about the afterstorm after Baek Hyun returned. But you're angry, sitting next to me, comforting me with your shoulders!

Are you crying? ’

I was curious, but I didn't think so. It's because I've never squeezed my nose in front of my tears twice before.

“Angry. I'll just hold on.”

Baek Hyun replied in a hiccup.

“So don't cry, get up and put it away. ”

“... yes. ”

Sarah felt strange about the subtle changes in Baek Hyun, but she didn't want to be comforted.

Moving the bed and clearing the garbage. Baek Hyun heard about how Sarah had been for a month.

“I thought you were dead the first few days. ”

I lived like a dead man. I got stuck at home and didn't eat anything. Then, I went to Abyss because I wanted to get revenge. Of course, Sarah thought that the plexus that killed Baek Hyun was the Dragon King.

“I looked hard, but I couldn't find it. And then I realized. When I see the Dragon King again, I will never win. So, I came home because I wanted to grow my revenge power. ”

It was about that time that I heard Baek Hyun's message from Yehui.

“Angry.”

Sarah holds a garbage bag in her hands and squeezes out her lips. The elevator arrives and the door opens.

“I was relieved that you weren't dead, but I was angry that you didn't come back right away... and didn't tell me the details. That's why it's like this. ”

“What about the others? ”

“Sua has been here a lot for a while, but I haven't been here lately. ”

I could be busy. Essence, a preliminary apostle, is the most powerful power in the world. In addition, she has a Korean Abyss Entrance Warden as her father, and the Director of Administration is an acquaintance of her father. Essence is an association of Chin.

In fact, among the apostles, the Society of Chin was only an Essence. Drave is virtually close to the religious leader, thanks to Pure St. 's tendencies and followers, and Carpago is an outsider who, of course, does not listen to the state. Rai Lung? She is part of the Chinese government rather than an association.

Shanaak is practicing Instagram instead of becoming a rock star, and Valencia is also launching Bright and expanding her territory from Hunter to business. Jean Weido Outsider. Resell, the preliminary apostle of the Witch End, is even more perverse in his deeds.

In the end, the Association Apostle, who left the fleeing monsters in Greece, was the only one who could ask for help properly.

“What about colonization?”

“I've been in Japan for weeks. ”

“... Japan? ”

“Yes. You said you had something to take responsibility for. ”

“Ah.”

It must be about Hossein. It tasted bitter in my mouth. I doubt what happened that day as well. Hossein suddenly turned into a spirit. At that time, Seo Ming apparently used Hossein as a 'spirit'. ’Was the Western colony then awakened as an apostle?

I returned to the cleaned living room, moved the bed and turned the cleaner. The last time I mopped, the cleaning was over. Baek Hyun sits on the couch and turns on the phone. Within a month, Keen's cell phone was filled with messages.

“Huh?”

[Help.]

Jin Wei had a message in English. It was a message from a fortnight ago.

[Please help.]

[I was wrong. It's all wrong.]

[Help me.]

[Blocked?]

[Are you really dead? You're not dead.]

[I need help.]

There were tons of such messages. And the message was disconnected two days ago. I wondered if the man who had not been in touch since the battle with Yellion and Carpago had just sent me a message to help.

[What is it?]

I only replied briefly. Though I was curious about the circumstances, I was unwilling to call.

[Are you really dead?]

To Lei Lung as well.

[What if you die as soon as you give Artifact?]

Valencia also had a message.

[Alive.]

He also replied to the two of them and called Seongcolon. The signal goes, but I don't answer the phone. I hung up because I wanted to wait a bit and see if I was busy. After that.

I looked into what happened in Greece. After a little surfing, I was able to easily find videos, photos and news articles related to it.

CCTV footage installed in Abyss, Greece. The light soaring from the hole stops in the sky. It was the bastard who revealed himself in the light. The moment the monstrous hunters moved. The one standing in the sky and looking down raises his hand.

The picture didn't look good. Besides, it's so fast. But I'm focused.

I saw him. The moment he raised his hand. The space in front of it splits slightly, and something of unknown metallic material pops out.

‘What is that? ’

In an instant, light emanates. Shotgun... no, shotgun? One attack captured hundreds of hunters who were gathering, and that was the beginning and end of the massacre. He stares with satisfaction at what he has done, and flies into the sky and disappears.

What the hell was that? What pops out is a cannon. He frowns his eyebrows. In fact, the most incomprehensible thing is how he got out of Abyss.

13 The monarch can never come out of his sanctuary. The reason they were hunting for the apostles was because they could not come out of the sanctuary. But the bastard who didn't even know his name came out and threw Abyss out into the real world.

It's not a good thing.

There are quite a few people around Baek Hyun who can tell you who he is.

And then I got a call from that guy.

“Hello?”

[Brother!]

Welcoming the rebirth of a month alone, Seong exclaimed.

[Brother, is that you?! I just heard from the association. My brother is back!]

“... didn't you hear I was alive? ”

[I listened, but I didn't know when I was coming back...! Brother, are you okay? You're not hurt or anything, are you?]

“Yeah, I'm fine. He's not hurt. He's fine. Good timing. Where are you? ”

[Now, I'm going to my brother's house after work at the association. I'm driving, so I'll be there in half an hour.]

I didn't think I needed to see him. Baek Hyun stood up on the couch, answering the words of Essence, who asked him how he was doing. Sarah, sitting next to me, looks at what's so frustrating.

“Sua's coming. ”

“I have ears, too. I can hear everything. ”

“What else is so frustrating? ”

“No complaints? ”

“No, it's all bad, Tina. ”

“Not at all. I'm not in the mood. ”

“By the way, I wasn't going to say this. How many meals a day have you had without me? How many more drinks have you had? ”

Baek Hyun shook his tongue thinking of the garbage he had thrown away earlier. It was too much garbage, even given the time of the month. Sarah didn't seem to have any steamed flesh on the subject.

“And where else did you get those clothes? ”

“... Susa bought it. I don't have any clothes to wear. ”

The horse of the Sulphur Wand grabbed his head. Sarah's words and the advice of the colony, who asked if it wasn't a gift. Baek Hyun said, coughing low.

“I don't know today. Tomorrow or so. Let's go buy some clothes together. ”

“... huh? ”

“You have ears? Why don't you pretend you didn't hear it? Let's go get some clothes. Where are you going, department store? It's winter, Hani, padding, coats and... anyway, I'll buy you all the clothes you want. ”

Sarah's mouth slowly opened. She stares at Baek Hyun with her eyes that she can't believe it.

“You, you... who are you? ”

“What?”

“You're not Baek Hyun, are you? Are you dreaming about me? ”

Sarah pinches her cheeks, muttering in a hollow voice. That's how people react to everything they do. Baek Hyun said, looking at Sarah with his eyes close.

“Why. Don't you like it? Why did you react when you said you'd give me a gift? ”

“Standing, presents? A gift?”

“So is this a gift or something? ”

Sarah's body trembled. She wakes up and looks at Baek Hyun.

“And you.”

I have to ask you this. I have to ask you this. Though I thought about it, in fact, Baek Hyun still couldn't be sure of this. After all, he had to say what he heard, because it was all he heard from Seo Ming, the teacher, and the Wang Sul Hwa. Baek Hyun has never said, 'Oh, I see.’ I have never been persuaded.

“It's... a little hard to ask. ”

“Again... what are you trying to say? ”

“That's, um, uh. ”

I felt a little ticklish when I asked myself. Nevertheless, it is better to do it quickly in order to check on the king. What if they had a useless stumbling block of bark? Honestly, Baek Hyun thought you were more likely.

“Do you like me? ”

Baek Hyun asked with a serious expression.

Phew.

Sarah's face bursts red. For a moment, she said nothing with that red face. And then,

“Argh!”

I could not overcome the shame, and swung my fist toward Baek Hyun with a big scream.

Ends
