Ugh-
The barrier vibrated as if telling me to jump in. And it slowly began to illuminate the space beyond. At first glance, I could see someone’s print in the blurry space.
I was frozen like a piece of wood in front of him, just staring beyond. Now that the barrier had appeared, it was my chance to return to my original world.
however… … .
‘what are you doing? Lee Hee-ah! Now is your chance!’
An urgent message to jump in quickly appeared in my head, but my feet didn’t move as if they were stuck on the floor.
I knew the reason well. Ugh. I chewed my lip painfully.
“Ugh… … Leaving Dazar like this… … .”
Dazar’s very hurt face, his sobbing voice, the warmth as he carefully held my hand… … He kept holding on to his feet.
Whinging- wow-
The barrier was now perfectly positioned and clearly illuminated the space beyond. There was a familiar face there. It was Dazar from the previous world, in the form of a saint. I could see him shouting something, but it didn’t reach me.
And right then. The barrier shook greatly.
‘uh? ‘What just happened?’
It was an instant, but a strange force clearly struck the barrier. Because it cracked as if it had been hit by something along with the shaking.
I looked around to see if someone around me had done it, but I was the only one here. then… … There was a high possibility that this was a problem on the other side.
‘If this continues, the barrier will disappear!’
When I saw the crack, I started to feel anxious. Hurry over there… … To the place where Axion and Dazar are… … I have to go… … !
I pulled up all the strength I had, clenched my fists, and forced my feet, which were not willing to move, to move. The feet that took one step, two steps… … It soon stopped again.
‘I can’t go back like this.’
I couldn’t leave young Dazar behind, so hurt and alone.
shit. Why at this time… … .
I unclenched my fists and squatted on the floor, tearing out my hair.
“OMG. What are you really asking me to do? “What if I leave him like this?”
After I leave, I will be left alone. I had a glimpse of Axion waiting for me, but… … .
I lowered my head and pulled my hair. My hair was pulled and my scalp hurt. Ugh. Ugh.
I saw an ant on the ground, scurrying along its path until it was stopped by my shoe. The ant stuck out her head and looked to her right and left, then turned to her left. She was soon seen circling her shoes and walking diligently towards her destination.
“… … Can not help it.”
If it’s neither one nor the other, I have no choice but to be a little like that ant. I sighed and raised my head.
Before my eyes, I saw a barrier that was gradually becoming blurred. Dajardo shouts out from beyond. For sure… … It was calling my name.
-Heeah! Lee Hee-ah!
But that appearance soon disappeared. As if there had always been a barrier here, there was nothing in front of me. I stared blankly at the empty space and then slowly got up.
I made a choice a little while ago. I decided to stay here a little longer.
And I plan to help young Dazar so that he can leave for my world with peace of mind. I became a happy adult and met my lover… … To live your own life.
Even if the end means breaking up with her and starting a different life.
I planned to help you walk that path well.
‘And to do that, first… … .’
I had to get to Dazar right now.
I walked with long strides and headed towards where he might be.
* * *
“… … this.”
Dazar groaned as he saw the barrier disappearing in an instant. damn… … .
“You were Celia just now, right?”
Silvestein asked cautiously from next to me. He must have seen it too. Even though Celia, or Hee-ah, discovered the barrier, she hesitated and eventually did not cross it.
Elston said, blinking.
“Well, what is it? Was the shock from a moment ago conveyed to Celia? Maybe that’s why I couldn’t come over here… … .”
“Probably not.”
Sylvester said that and shook his head.
“The shock only affects the ‘connection’ to Celia, not Celia herself.”
Elston nodded blankly at his firm words and then looked at Dazar. He kept his mouth shut and was staring at the empty space where the barrier had been a moment ago.
“Um, Master Dazar?”
“… … .”
Dazar remained silent without answering and then slowly opened his lips.
“Let’s go check on Axion’s safety first.”
Elston hesitantly tried to follow him as he turned around, but was stopped by a hand holding me.
“Mr. Sylvester?”
“We’re sorry, but we’re staying here to determine what impact the previous impact may have had on the area.”
His serious face reminded me of Celia’s face when she was farming. El Stern nodded his head in confusion.
Although he was worried about the safety of Axion, whom he loved dearly, he couldn’t refuse because his blue eyes looked exactly like Celia’s. He felt that his own safety would not be guaranteed if he did not do so.
Sylvester smiled and turned around, taking Elston with him. Dazar went his own way without caring whether they did or not. His mind was very busy.
‘Hee-ah definitely saw me. But she won’t come over. Is there something going on across the street? at that time… … ‘What happened?’
My eyes gradually became blurry as I looked back on the past. Then it suddenly became clear and blinked rapidly. His steps stopped.
“ah… … .”
okay. My grandfather passed away in the past. The absence of his grandfather, who was like his spiritual support, left a great sadness in his heart.
And at that time, Hee-ah picked herself up after she had collapsed. As much as she helped me, he fell in love with her all over again.
And she stayed by my side for quite a long time. Until he became an adult and could truly stand on his own.
* * *
“what… … ?”
Instead of the mature Dazar I saw through the barrier earlier, he looked at me blankly, with a slightly younger face. I said without withdrawing my outstretched hand.
“Let’s go eat together.”
“rice… … . Oh sorry. Heeah. “I didn’t even think about it.”
Realization flashed across my face, which was full of fatigue and sadness. He washed his face with both hands and stood up shakily. His movements created a breeze, causing the documents he was handling a moment ago to move slightly.
I stretched out my hand to grab him as he stood up, looking tiredly at the mountain of documents.
good. Now, let’s go eat as planned.
But Dazar was a stronger enemy than expected.
“okay. So, let’s go eat,”
“I should have taken care of your meal first. In the past, we always ate together… … You were waiting for me. Don’t worry about me, eat first. “I’ll eat it later.”
Dazar dodged my outstretched hand and headed to another desk. There, another mountain of documents rose even higher.
I felt devastated as my hand cut through the air. I slowly withdrew his hand and glanced at his back.
In the previous world, Dazar’s back looked wide.
‘Why does she look so thin?’
The anger that suddenly surged at me when I saw him pass over my suggestion shrunk in an instant and disappeared with a bloodshot sound. It is a moment of disappointment.
“… … “Dazar.”
“I told the chef, Hee-ah, the things you liked,”
“Dazar!”
I suddenly called his name, walked in front of him one step at a time, and stretched out my hands.
slap. Dazar’s soft cheeks were held between two thumbs and index fingers.
“town?”
Because I grabbed his cheek and pressed it hard, his lips turned into the mouth of a carp. Golden eyes opened wide.
“Ububbung?”
The slurred pronunciation is clearly calling my name. He rolled his eyes back and forth with a face that seemed at a loss. But because the face was so close, I couldn’t help but focus my eyes on it.
“Look at me. “Dazar.”
“… … town.”
“I was just asking if we wanted to go out to dinner together. “You’ve been starving for over a week.”
“… … .”
“Even if you’ve been fine so far because you’re a transcendent, are you planning on starving to death in front of me like this?”
Dazar blinked, then slowly shook his head. I think the bewildered appearance is cute because he is still young.
I made an effort to lower the corner of my mouth that was about to rise and spoke softly.
“I’ll cook you something delicious. Follow me.”
After seeing the question mark in Dazar’s eyes, I grinned. Isn’t there a food that was always prepared just for that purpose? I’m sure the current Dazar would also like it.
“Now, eat.”
I rented a kitchen and presented the food I made to Dazar. I saw Dazar looking down at his food with a slightly blank expression.
