The World of Masks

The plague and Hannah are walking side-by-side. At first glance, it looks like it hasn't changed. But the distance between the two was clearly further apart than before.

The distraction glanced at Hannah. The pandemic also clearly felt that her quartile was different from before. It felt awkward, like he was denying his existence.

"Can I walk for a minute?"

Hannah said quietly. Eyes look forward and do not turn to distractions. The voice felt a bold but clear will.

"Yes."

We can't keep living like this. The pandemic was also happily agreed.

The two of them slowly walked towards the nearby park. No words. Only the heavy silence settles in the cup. It seems that only the space nearby is completely isolated from the noisy surrounding landscape.

The park was less populated because it was time for the land spiders to start to fall. Hannah stops her feet in the background of the blue wave that just started spreading. The pandemic naturally stopped.

Spinner.

Hannah turns away lightly. Her beauty meets the red sunset in the sky, creating a fantastic atmosphere. Familiar with her beauty was also momentarily dazzled.

"I need to talk to you."

Hannah said, moving her little, parrot-like lips.

"Let's break up."

You detonated the bomb very lightly.

The pandemic was silent. He was no fool either. I was familiar with the heavy and uneasy airflow of Yolan. When Hannah said let's take a walk, she said, "This could happen." I thought.

But being prepared and listening to it was a separate story.

"Why?"

I barely moved the vocal chords, suppressing the turbulence boiling inside. Your voice sounds as if the beast is moaning. The pandemic was that shocked.

But Hannah was surprised by the reaction of the pandemic. I opened my eyes wide as if I couldn't believe it.

"· · · · · · Are you serious?"

One of the women who hates men says, "You don't know why I feel bad? What did I do wrong?" Hannah has heard of the same thing. But this isn't it. How can you not know why? But the pandemic surpassed Hannah's expectations lightly. In a very bad way.

"Ugh, I don't know."

"· · · · · ·."

Hannah was speechless when she spoke with such confidence. I stared at the face of the plague. A moment of silence. Hannah sighs deeply knowing that the plague is real. It was a sigh of mixed emotions.

"Okay, I'll make it easy for you."

Hannah looks directly at the artifact.

"Do you still love me?"

Her frostbite pierces the heart of the plague. The pandemic tries to say something with a bewildered look. But Hannah didn't let up.

"No, you don't have to say that. Your mind has already left me. You think I wouldn't notice? At some point, I'm not shining in your eyes."

Hannah points with her finger to the breasts of the plague.

"Your emotions have already gone to the goddess within you."

You hear Natia swallowing her breath in the brain of the plague.

"You were my only love and my only will. So you left me, but you tried to catch me somehow. But you kept looking for your goddess, didn't you? You saw the man who killed my parents so much that even if I said that, I'd find a way to resurrect your goddess."

"I had no choice! You said you saw him, and nothing happened for two months! I thought he'd already left the country! Or you!"

"I'm what? Did you think I could be wrong?"

"· · · · · ·."

The pandemic has closed its mouth. In some ways, the pandemic could be unfair. And in fact, that was the case. But it was also true that he had done nothing to help Hannah in her crisis. The same goes for natia.

"That's enough. You've moved on, and I've cooled off. I don't want to take this relationship any further."

Hannah turns around. The decisive figure seemed to uniquely represent her mind, so I couldn't even say that the plague should not be that common.

"But if you're worried about feeling guilty or something, I've got someone I like. That's why we're breaking up. So I don't want you to be sorry or stupid or anything."

Second shock. I didn't think Hannah would say that she had become so dependent on herself that she liked someone else. Hannah's remarkable words came as a shock to him.

"· · · · · · Who?"

"Chancellor."

The pandemic opened its eyes wide. I came up with the name of an unexpected person. But when I thought about it, I thought it might be possible.

"· · · · · · · I said I saved you this time, right?"

"That's right. I fell in love. I know. I was giving up. I was abandoned by you, and the son of a bitch who killed my parents came after me. There was no hope. He's the one who saved me back then."

"He's married."

He said as if it had been milked. Hannah looked up at the sky. The Red Sunset has now spread far and near the mountain's foothills. Most of the sky turned dark blue.

"I know. I don't want to steal the president away from his wife. It's just a little sideways. Marriage is not a crime. That's enough for me to tie my own knots."

Hannah looks up from the sky. The streetlight illuminates and begins to illuminate the dimmed path.

"Goodbye, Yuan."

Hannah takes her foot off. She never looked back. I quietly walked out of the park. The sickness didn't catch her like that.

Hannah walks a familiar path without hesitation.

'Is this the end of the pandemic?'

It was a moment of doom that continued from childhood. There was a way to quit being a lover and stay as a friend. But Hannah never wanted to.

Even if the distraction neglected her, it might be okay to stay as a friend. But the only reason was to break her relationship with the plague.

'The pandemic is also a superpower.'

Superpowers. That disgusting name.

Honestly, all the reasons she broke up with the plague might be her excuse. If they had no effect at all, they would be lying, but the majority of the causes were that they no longer wanted to date superpowers. Especially not one who holds God in his arms.

I hate myself for being a superpower, but a lover is a superpower? Creepy! '

His breath is disgusting. Contact with him is like touching a cockroach with your bare hands. There was not a single shred of prejudice in her. All that's left is a feeling of disgust. I felt that I no longer needed to be related to him.

I thought about it and wanted to quit AMSS. It is possible to face the plague, but as Hannah disgusted the superpower, the AMSS space was nothing more than a gross den of roaches.

But I couldn't let AMSS go of me as a superpower. In front of the strong will of Jin, there is a policy in place to bind superpowers all over the world in AMSS, and Hannah wants to leave. "Okay." The likelihood of allowing it was literally zero.

Moreover, it was not only the bad thing that remained in AMSS.

'That way we can see him.'

Honestly, Jin-seok and Hannah are the only very clever relationships between AMSS's President and AMSS's superpowers. I have a feeling that Jin takes better care of her than any other superpower, but that's only because she's Charles Lemington's apprentice and Seohyun's childhood friend and lover. If not, then you're just one of the usual superpowers. If Hannah quits AMSS there, even that weak fate will be cut off. Of course, Hannah had no intention of breaking up this weak but unique relationship on her own.

'It's not going to work.'

I had no idea that this love would succeed. Simply ease this feeling from a distance is enough.

'But if there's even the slightest chance of this love being made... · · · · ·.'

I don't know what to do then. Hannah's eyes dim.

* * *

The sickness stood still for a while. Where Hannah left, her eyes hardened like a statue. There was no strange gaze on him because it was a place that was lucky or unhappy or unpopular.

Curious wind passes by his side. I stroked my cheek and shook my head, but it was hard to wake up the ceremony of the plague.

[· · · · · · · Dissemination.]

It was the voice of the goddess that woke him. Sound that is still thin and beautiful, but full of anxiety. The pandemic incident begins to spin again.

"Phew!"

The first thing I did was sigh. The deep, stifling emotions rush out of my lungs. A whirlwind in your head is a feeling of confusion. It felt like brain cells collided with each other and twisted the cranial nerves.

"Oh, come on! Why is this happening?"

I scratched my head. Recently, my slightly grown hair has been shaken and mixed with a knot. But there was one thing that was certain in the confused feeling.

He and Hannah are no longer in a relationship. No, it could have turned into a relationship worse than your old friend.

"Tsk, you fell for the Chancellor? '

I didn't even feel the name of, after the name of the usual Chancellor. Yu was so overwhelmed with rage.

You feel stolen. Everything Hannah says sounds like an excuse.

"I broke up with natia because I had a crush on her? What are you talking about, falling for a married man with a wife? '

Above all, the thought of being taken away by an ordinary human, Jin, who is not a superpowered person, sharpened the Fruit of Illusion.

'Anyway, let's go home.'

We can't stay here forever. Besides, I wanted to rest.

[I'm sorry, Yoohyun.]

"Yes?"

I had no choice but to answer the questions of the sudden apology.

I'm the one who broke up with Hannah.]

I understood the sickness. Along with him, I remembered what Hannah said earlier. Saying you like natia.

Your face is burning. Your emotions are burning, but the problem is that Natia heard it. Embarrassment swept through the bone marrow.

"It's not Natia's fault at all!"

He said with a little empowerment, as if trying to take away his shyness. Yes, she is a divine, pure goddess. There's no way she could have done something wrong.

"It's just because I acted stupid."

I made my voice exaggerate on purpose, as if it were nothing. I also took a big walk.

"And I don't regret the way things turned out. even if it's offensive to other people."

[Don't you regret it?]

"I did what I did for Natia."

[· · · · · ·.]

I said a few words out of courage. I'm sure Natia knows what it means. No answer came back. I wondered how she felt. Was he embarrassed? Was he moved? Maybe he's bored. My heart skipped like a child waiting for the test paper.

[Thank you, Yoohyun.]

Gratitude for returning. I was nervous that the words of rejection would come back, and I was filled with joy.

Maybe this breakup with Hannah wasn't a big deal.

'Hmph, fall in love with a married man.'

He had natia. The guardian goddess who watches over him.
