The Hero
Volume 7 – Disjunction
Chapter 19
Haneul"s mouth would not open. JoonYoung, that was currently in his 20"s, was definitely different from what Haneul remembered. His general features were very defined and he had a manly aura around him.
Haneul was extremely anxious.
"How long has it been?"
"Who knows, probably around 4 years?
4 years? That means that they had met, even after the accident. But, why was it that they weren"t contacting each other anymore?
Haneul began to reminisce.
"It"s really…….really great to see you."
"That"s quite a burdensome reaction. Very different from the last time we met?"
Something must have happened that Haneul was unaware of. Something that could cause the both of them to cut ties with each other.
"Well, either way. I never thought that you would be the one to contact me like this. I honestly thought that we would never see each other again."
"Did something happen?"
"Problem? I"m sure you"re not being serious."
"I"m honestly asking. I"ve been through an accident, so there are many things that I can"t remember right now. I guess you can say that I have a short circuit in my memory right now."
Haneul moderately spoke.
Although JoonYoung"s att.i.tude was a bit chilly, he felt that if they talked about their conflict, they would be able to clear their misunderstanding.
JoonYoung smiled.
"An accident huh……although I don"t know what happened, it really seems like something is wrong with your memories. You"re face expression, the way you"re speaking, and actions are all different from what I can remember."
"Were you and I not in a good relationship?"
"It was great. At least, before that accident happened and my heart broke."
"Accident?"
Something was weird.
JoonSung, JoonYoung"s brother, was the one that was dead in this world.
If that was the case, it would be normal for everything to be fine with JoonYoung.
Although there was doubt within Haneul, he decided to fully listen to what JoonYoung had to say.
"After the accident, everyone treated me as if I was crazy. However, in my eyes, this world, and the people living in this world, were the ones that looked weird."
"Accident? What do you mean they looked weird?"
"There really is a problem. You don"t remember anything, yet you remember me. Are you able to live a normal life?"
JoonYoung coldly laughed.
Haneul could clearly feel it.
JoonYoung had hostility towards him.
What exactly did he do to receive such a stare from JoonYoung?
"That"s right, you always had that expression. Always looking like you didn"t understand what was going on. You don"t remember? Good, very good. However, even if that"s true, human nature doesn"t change. You still think that I"m weird. If you don"t remember, I"ll tell you. Because, even if you forget, I"ll clearly remember."
-JoonYoung, stop talking nonsense and slowly adapt. Normal? Abnormal? Whatever it is, nothing will change, even if you continue to speak nonsense. Are you going to keep living your life cooped up within this insane asylum? Then do it. To go crazy while having so much talent. This will also be the last time I come here to visit you. Such a waste of your talent. I"m just wasting my time. A talent that"s unable to awaken is the same as trash. You have no worth, and you"re useless.
It was a face that he had never seen before.
JoonYoung clearly remembered how Haneul looked that day.
He wasn"t the friend that he remembered. It was the first time that JoonYoung had received a gaze filled with so much contempt. That"s why, he got up and did his best to adapt. With an unyielding spirit, JoonYoung accepted the circ.u.mstances in which they were placed.
"Well, I guess you"re half the reason why I became a Hero."
"I, I said those words?"
