Chapter 140 – Chapter 5 – Myosol-Ah (2)

Beep!
I woke up feeling a headache from the loud tinnitus.
Obviously, it felt like entering a dungeon before, but this time it feels like something is stabbing my brain.
And I thought that my body was very uncomfortable as a whole.
“A twist in time?”
The moment I threw up my doubts while looking at the contents of the characteristic window, another question came over me.
Is this the voice that just came out of my mouth?
I feel like I’m feeling a lot younger than I usually hear…
At that moment, the phrase ‘You interfered at the point in the past’ caught my eye, and I started looking around just in case.
It looked much cleaner than I remembered, and I saw a place where there shouldn’t be any shape left now.
It was the appearance of Bareum Nursery School, which took care of a lot when I was young.
‘Are you back to my childhood? This kind of appearance makes me feel like I was in the lower grades of elementary school…’
I ran to the bathroom, checked the mirror, and began to roll my head hard to figure out the situation.
What the hell happened to Seol-ah at this point, so that there is a twist here?
No, how is it possible to return to the past in the first place?
“Eunhyuk, is something wrong?”
“Whoa, the director?”
“Huh?”
“Oh, nothing.”
When I heard the director’s voice, who raised us like a real mother, something filled me with emotion.
Even though she knew this wasn’t the time for this, she wanted to cry in her arms.
‘Are you a kid?’
Calm down Park Eun-hyuk.
Of course, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen the director, but it was difficult to predict what would happen if he reacted strangely.
And, apparently, the accident of the director’s death has been a long time since now, and it was very difficult for me to change the future with just one word.
“Yes, since Eunhyuk is smart, he can do anything well. Do you trust the director?”
“Yes…”
“Even so, Eunhyuk is still young, so it’s okay to rely on the director or his older brothers when you’re having a hard time, you know?”
“I know.”
Unlike girls, who are most successful in adoption, boys aren’t popular in adoption either.
You probably don’t want to raise a child who has no potential to wake up.
So, in fact, even at the orphanage, boys do not want to be accepted, but the director did not care about that and received the children and raised them with great care.
So, only the hyungs were left above me.
‘I thought I would repay you with success.’
While living on my own, I tried to find a job as a hunter manager, a high-paying job, and came back here because I thought I was a little more stable.
The director had passed away due to a dungeon break, and the orphanage that could not run without the director was ruined.
After searching through the orphanages that the children had gone to, I found the Hope Orphanage I was applying to.
The more I looked around the Bareum Nursery, the more strange it felt.
Of course, the last image of the orphanage I remembered was that it had been demolished and abandoned, but there were many strange things compared to when I left the orphanage that was normally operated before that.
The washing machine that was left unreplaced because it was still in good condition. I thought it was trash because it was completely old, but in this era, the TV looks like new. Overall, children who look younger than I remember.
It feels so strange because I’m checking the old situation in real time.
“Hey guys, let’s eat!”
“Yes!”
The noisy breakfast time began, and I felt the nostalgic style of food and lively atmosphere.
I had to keep my tears from flowing as I kept facing this experience without really expecting it.
Isn’t it too much of a foul to feed rice?
“Eunhyuk, what’s wrong? You don’t have an appetite?”
“No. It’s really good.”
Since we cook in large quantities, the menu itself has always been limited.
That’s why it was a menu that could more definitely feel the taste of the director’s style.
Even the cheap sausages, which I thought were too strong in my childhood, tasted so good thinking that the director had prepared them.
It’s because Hye-mi cooked for me recently. If I didn’t eat properly every day and this happened to me, it was clear that I would have really cried.
It was very cute to see them all helping the director and washing the dishes, and running out and playing as soon as they were free.
I saw fights from time to time, but it was more enjoyable than I thought to go there and see the director mediate and comfort them.
Seriously, I seem to have forgotten why I flew here.
‘I have to start looking for Seol-ah…’
Returning to this past was not for me to heal while reminiscing about the past.
There was something special about something related to Seol-ah, and I had to solve it.
I didn’t really give any hints, so I didn’t think it would be an easy solution.
“Eunhyuk. Let’s play with our top. Do you want to join us?”
“Sorry, today… Let’s do it later.”
“Ugh, Eunhyuk doesn’t play with me these days…”
“Sorry.”
Anyway, I can’t remember how I lived during this time, maybe because it was so long ago.
I think it was just hanging around outside and playing…
Apparently, the TV was locked to the channel for things like hunter animations that girls like or movies that hyungs like, depending on the cartel in the orphanage.
It was a time when I wasn’t very interested in Hunter, so I think I just preferred to go outside and play.
I kept banging my head trying to figure out exactly what I was doing, just in case I remembered.
The headache got worse, but nothing came to mind.
I thought I remembered pretty much everything, but when I was young, I feel like I’m in a haze about what’s such a problem.
“Director, do you know where I usually play when I go out?”
“Huh, are you testing the director right now? Don’t you know where you are?”
“Nothing like that. Just what do you think in general?”
“A playground, right? It’s always late, so when I go to pick it up, it’s playing in the playground.”
“Hmm, that’s right, what…”
It doesn’t seem to be much different this time.
When I was young, whenever something happened, I used to sit alone on the playground and enjoy contemplation while playing.
It’s just amazing that it was similar at this time.
“Have a good trip. If you get hurt somewhere, will you get scolded?”
“I know.”
I came out of the orphanage thinking that I should look around the village for a while.
I can’t help it that there are restrictions on my actions since I’m a child, but it’s much better than staying still inside.
I started walking around the neighborhood like that, and soon I couldn’t help but feel the same emotions as when I looked inside the orphanage earlier.
Seeing the familiar yet different villages of the past makes my heart feel stuffy.
‘There used to be a stationery here.’
I thought it was a snack bar from the beginning, but it wasn’t, it was a stationery selling small snacks on one side.
Later on, it seems that the snack bar did better than the stationery store, so it seems to have completely changed.
Now that snack bar has disappeared, so I can’t eat it. If I get a chance, I’ll try the tteokbokki over there after a long time…
“The school I went to must have been that elementary school, maybe this is the beginning of the vacation season?”
I wondered if this was the time when orphanages suffered the most.
As if the kindergartens hadn’t started their vacation yet, children in kindergarten uniforms were playing with their parents in the playground.
Kindergarten often ends early, so I guess I’ll go home after playing outside with my parents around this time.
Anyway, considering my age, isn’t it time for Seol-ah to go to kindergarten?
“Okay, let’s look here.”
“Yes.”
Then the sea-shaped plywood in the corner of the playground?
I don’t know exactly what it’s called, but anyway, there was something similar to a toy made to be used as a photo spot.
A girl and her parents who were taking pictures caught my eye.
I was anxious to see him looking so happy, so I stared at him in a daze.
She felt something strange tickle in her voice as she swayed in the arms of her own mother.
It’s a voice tone that seems like I’ve heard it a lot…?
“Aww…!”
At that moment, a tingling headache came over my head, and I sat down clutching my head.
In my hazy memory, it seemed as if a voice similar to that voice just called my name.
Am I familiar with that kid?
I felt like I was going to go crazy wondering why I couldn’t remember anything.
“Brother? Eunhyuk’s brother?”
“Uh, uh…”
Of course, I thought it was a voice in my memory, so I ignored it.
As soon as I came to my senses, what I saw was the child I had just looked down at right in front of me and asked if I was okay.
She seemed to really know me, especially her mother, who pretended to know me and smiled.
“Oh, hello. My head hurts a little all of a sudden.”
“Can I call you?”
“Ok?”
“Oh~ My mother said that if you do this, the pain will go away!”
He’s a very innocent style kid.
Anyway, I’m not an orphanage kid, but I managed to get along with a kid like this.
Assuming I used to love this playground, maybe we met and became friends here.
And what was very unexpected was the reaction of that girl’s mother.
He must have been worried or worried about the boy from the orphanage playing with his daughter, but he didn’t seem to see anything like that.
Are you someone who doesn’t have prejudice against that kind of thing?
“Now, Seol-ah. Shall we go home now? I should say goodbye to my brother.”
“Hello! You must be sick! I’m bored because my brother is not at the playground today!”
“Uh, yeah. I’ll be back soon tomorrow.”
I felt like I was going to lose my mind because my head was completely white at the name I had just heard.
So you’re saying that girl is standing?
Certainly, the hair color and basic things are similar…
‘However, Seol-ah said she hadn’t felt her senses or emotions since she was a child.’
She didn’t even think that she was playing a normal person at the time.
She says she crashed a lot, making her kids around her cry, and her mother crying.
But the girl I just met was, no matter how you look at it, an ordinary girl.
You don’t see any strange phenomenon like that?
“What the hell is going on?”
To sum it up, Seol-ah and I weren’t strangers, but childhood friends we had been close to in times we couldn’t remember.
And she was just a normal girl, up until this point she was feeling normal and feeling.
But after this, she stopped feeling Seol-ah’s senses or emotions from her, and when she says she remembers Seol-ah from that time on, everything fits just right.
In other words, any event that will happen after this with a high probability becomes a problem.
I thought about it for a long time and looked at various possibilities, but the incident I was talking about in the characteristics window was…
“This, fuck.”
It is concluded that Seol-ah is the event that causes her to lose her emotions and senses.
