189 – inside the gate -2
Was Ansung right when he said that it would take nearly two days to get him?
Once Ansung disappeared, he did not think of returning until 20 minutes had passed.
They say it takes two days, so there’s no way they’ll come back after only 20 minutes…
Trapped in a small cave with nothing around us, there was nothing we could do but sit idly by.
“It’s very quiet… It’s stuffy because you’re trapped in a small cave.”
“Can’t you bring down the walls of the cave? Last time you destroyed a structure much bigger than this.”
Hwaryeon shook her head.
He was so resolute that he had the will to break my thoughts just by shaking his head, but Hwaryeon opened his mouth as if reminding my brain that my thoughts were wrong and explained why not.
“That structure was not a gate, but a structure inside the gate, so it was possible to destroy it. On the other hand, this cave is the gate’s space itself. No matter how much I am, I can’t destroy the space itself.”
“Heavenly Demon… You’re weaker than I thought.”
“What?”
At Sua’s words, Hwaryeon jumped up and glared at Sua.
“No… He’s weaker than I thought. I thought the Heavenly Demon-nim was so strong that there was nothing he couldn’t do.”
“I’m human too. Stupid bitch.”
“Okay. Heavenly Demon-nim, don’t be too angry.”
Sua said in a very peaceful tone and rolled on the floor.
“Since I’m lying down like this, it reminds me of my childhood and it’s nice. I have Soo-hyeon next to me… We’re not close, but we still have motives…”
“Did you like your childhood?”
Like Hwaryeon’s confused words, I couldn’t understand Sua’s words either.
It was an experiment that did not bother us and did not carry out any biological experiments, but living the same life as if it were always rolling on a wheel made me very bored, and I could never say that a life in which my freedom was suppressed was good no matter how much memories were corrected.
“It’s not that my childhood itself was good, it’s because I was very close to Suhyeon back then… No matter what kind of life I live now, I don’t think I can be happier than when I was close to Suhyeon.”
Sua’s words were heavy.
The tone of the words was heavy, and the love for me hidden in it was also heavy.
What was I to her?
“The problem is that I used my ability on Suhyeon… If only that hadn’t happened…”
“Even if you didn’t use your abilities on Ahae, it probably wouldn’t have changed much. It’s highly likely that I ended up escaping the facility with Ahae… but I wouldn’t have taken her to midfield, but it might have come earlier. I don’t know. It’s because I’ve been putting off coming to Ahae because Ahae’s spirit isn’t intact.”
Sua slowly opened her mouth again.
“No. It would have changed drastically. Even if I didn’t intend to, just like Suhyeon came back to Mir, Suhyeon from the parallel world would end up in Mir at least once. If I hadn’t brainwashed Suhyeon, we would be in a better situation. I would have met him. Suhyeon would have been happy to see me, my childhood friend, and I would have been happy to see Suhyeon, whom I hadn’t seen for a long time… At least it would have been much better than our current relationship. Suhyeon wouldn’t have been hurt either. ..”
I could feel deep regret in Sua’s tone.
In those words, not only did he regret why he brainwashed himself and broke his relationship with Su-hyeon, but he also seemed to be worried about the psychological shock I received as a sword of brainwashing, so my last guard against Su-a completely faded. heard.
Sua has really changed.
It wasn’t just that I hated the brainwashing that broke my relationship.
I sincerely regret brainwashing myself.
She is sorry for the way she hurt me.
“Sua.”
“…Why?”
“I told you earlier, but I already forgave you.”
“Lies… You can’t forgive a scumbag like me.”
Sua’s words were very dark and gloomy.
Until just now, there was a certain brightness mixed in, but my voice became very dark and damp as if my words acted as a trigger for her.
“You’re really stupid.”
Hwaryeon, unable to see her, looked at Sua with a stern look.
“What if you, who was talking about Suhyeon Suhyeon, don’t believe Ahae’s words? Ahae has certainly forgiven you. I, who always sticks by Ahae’s side, can tell. Ahae is never lying. Things I disagree with. Although, Ahae certainly forgave you.”
“…”
“So, feel free to accept it. If your best friend forgave you again and you can go back to the way it was before, wouldn’t it be too stupid if you couldn’t approach Soo-hyeon, who has already forgiven you because of the hurt inside you?”
After Hwaryeon spoke quickly, she sat down on the floor as if feeling relieved.
“… can we go back to the old days?”
“uh.”
Of course I can’t go back…
This was a story on a different level than when I forgave Sua.
Unlike the past when we could always stick together, the place we live now is different.
Unlike the past when we were able to be close without thinking, we had things to do.
As adults now, we couldn’t get along like children.
It’s a time we can never go back to, but there was one thing we could go back to.
The fact that you and I are friends will not be different from before.
I hugged the crying Sua.
I’m already in my mid-20s, so I don’t know why I cry so much.
She cried so coolly that it soaked my clothes, and then she lay down on the floor with a calm expression.
“How are you feeling better?”
“Oh, much better.”
Hwaryeon was taken aback by her sudden objection and stiffened.
“Ahahahaha, did I not hear you right now?”
“Why do you ask Suhyeon about that? You can’t even believe your own ears when you’ve grown like a thousand horses?”
Sua’s tone when talking to Hwaryeon was very calm.
If those words were honorifics, there wouldn’t have been much difference from Sua until now, but the problem now was that she was talking to Hwaryeon in a disrespectful way.
Hwaryeoni wasn’t the type to go after every polite word.
Right now, Ha-yeon and Ha-yeon say that they are comfortable with Cheonma…
‘is not it?’
Thinking about it, I’ve never seen anyone other than me speak rude words to Hwaryeon.
Apparently I don’t care. Didn’t you threaten the other person with something like telephony while giving off a benevolent impression?
Anyway, there was a lot of anger on Hwaryeon’s face.
It was because Soo-ah, who was no one else, was talking to her in a way that made her feel very comfortable.
Even I could feel the Hwaryeoni’s enthusiasm soaring soaring because he was using a high-level round-tripper to open the Hwaryeoni.
“You… what did you just say?”
“Why? You want to ask me this time? Why can’t a human the size of a heavenly horse have so much faith in himself? You can do it! You can do it!”
“Heavenly Demon, calm down.”
I almost mentioned her name without realizing it because of Hwaryeon, who was so angry that I blushed.
Seeing Hwaryeon staring at Sua menacingly as if he were about to punch Sua at any moment, he quickly intervened between the two and stopped Hwaryeon.
“Why are you so angry? Could it be that you’re so angry that I used informal language to you? You wake up a little when you see yourself talking to someone you’ve never met while getting angry at your friend for talking to them.”
“What? Who do you call friends? Do you really want to die?”
Hwaryeon glared at Sua while using words that were no different from modern people.
If you see that kind of tone coming out in an urgent situation, it might be a concept rather that I used a serious tone until now.
“We’re the same age, we lived in the same place when we were young, and we’re friends of friends, so can’t we just say we’re friends?
“Of course, I hate that you talk rudely, but that’s not the only reason I’m angry. Aren’t you acting like you’re completely ignoring me!”
“Ah, can’t friends joke around like this? I called it drip, but you take it so seriously… I’m sorry.
‘Isn’t Sua’s skill at teasing people normal?’
It was to the point where I thought it would be difficult to deal with even if a younger person, the most outstanding person I’ve ever seen, came to play with words…
When Sua said that, only Hwaryeon was embarrassed.
If you continue to get angry here, you will be in a state of rampage while getting hurt by the other person’s pranks.
When Hwaryeon couldn’t open her mouth properly at Sua’s exquisite words, Ansung returned.
-What are you guys doing?
Even with that cute voice, the atmosphere didn’t ease at all.
