The Hero
Volume 7 – Disjunction
Chapter 20
"Hahahaa, I"m not sure if you really have memory loss, or if you"re trying to act like a cool Hero in front of me. I"m sorry, but you"re not who you act like you are in front of other people. Don"t act on pretense in front of me, it"s disgusting. At least the Haneul in this world, I know there"s more to him than meets the eye."
Haneul"s true nature.
JoonYoung knew that he was different. However, was he the type of person to say such words to his close friend? It wasn"t Haneul. It was someone very different.
"No, wait….."
In this world.
Haneul opened his eyes wide.
JoonYoung definitely just said "the Haneul in this world". It was something that Haneul couldn"t ignore, and it was more important than trying to figure out what type of person Haneul was in this world.
Haneul fell silent and was lost in thought. As if he was annoyed, JoonYoung got up from his seat.
"Nevermind. I was wondering why you suddenly called me, but as usual, you"re hard to figure out. I have nothing more to say, so I"ll be leaving now. Although late, I thought you would at least apologize, but I guess I was expecting too much from you. Either way, let"s not see each other ever again. I have no good memories of you to dwell on anyways."
"JoonYoung, you died."
Suddenly, JoonYoung who was walking out towards the door, stopped moving. His face as he turned around, was ghastly.
Seeing his face, Haneul was sure.
It was very clear.
"October 21, 2006. A car accident in the morning. A truck driver fell asleep, and crossed over the pavement. At that time, you had died."
JoonYoung stared at Haneul with wide eyes.
"What are you talking about?"
"The one who had died was not your brother JoonSung. JoonYoung, it was you."
"I just asked you, what are you talking about?"
"I told you, the one who died in the car accident………"
"What the f.u.c.k are you saying! Who are you saying died? My brother died because of a rift!"
"What?"
This time, it was Haneul who felt like someone had hit him in the head.
Rift?
Since JoonYoung"s brother had died on the same day, he had not suspected anything. He thought that JoonSung had for sure died through a car accident. However, that was not the case. JoonYoung was saying that his brother had died because of a rift, not because of a car accident.
"No, no. That"s not what"s important right now. You, What are you……..what exactly do you know. How did you know that I had gotten into a car accident? That was something that had not occurred in this world…….Ah, okay. Yeah. Did you hear from someone? No doubt about it. You must have heard from someone. When I was going crazy, the staff from the insane asylum was running around saying it. You probably heard it then, so why are you acting like you know what you"re talking about!"
Haneul glared fiercely.
Something that was difficult to overlook came out from JoonYoung"s mouth again.
Haneul did not know if JoonYoung really knew or not, but he was talking as if he knew that this world was a "different" place.
Car accident.
"JoonYoung, in the world that I lived in, you died through a car accident. It wasn"t because of a rift. The one that died was you."
"Bull….bulls.h.i.t!"
"My family! You should know. Which one of my parents are alive? Answer me."
"That is…"
JoonYoung rolled his eyes. There was no reason for him to answer. However, as if he was locked onto by Haneul"s fierce glare, he could not evade the question.
He couldn"t understand why Haneul was asking such a question, but JoonYoung was certain.
"Your father. Your father is the one that"s alive."
With this, there was no mistake about it.
JoonYoung was not a person from this world.
