Chapter 49 – Chapter 49
It was only until the moment he passed the main banner that Do-kyun’s mood was on the rise.
‘What is this…’
As he flipped through the pages and looked at the list of his favorite works, a feast of countless announcements unfolded before his eyes.
It means stop posting. In other words, it was dead.
The screen reflected in Do-gyun’s eyes only showed him the cruel truth.
The feeling that the happy mood up until the moment plunged into hell in an instant.
Do-gyun hurriedly manipulated the device and looked at the remaining novels.
[This is the National Mississippi Association…]
This too.
[I’m sick, so I’m going to take a break. ㅠㅠ]
This too.
[Tomorrow is closed] (Written 9 days ago)
This too.
[I’m trying to remake the first part.]
This too.
All the novels he had his eye on were dead.
“Ah…”
A meaningless groan escaped from his lips at the shocking sight.
His fingertips tremble and his eyes moisten.
The emotions that were overflowing with the picture of a happy time fade away.
Did he do something wrong, or did he become like this because he was kidnapped?
Now, regret for the irreversible moment has risen.
Just meaninglessly, the more he moved his fingers as if he was messing with a mirage, the more he passed the episodes he hadn’t seen, the more the words written in the latter half reconciled with sadness and weighed down his heart.
[Author’s review: Thank you for visiting today!] (13 days ago)
[Author’s Review: One less comment… Maybe it’s because I’m lacking. We will do our best so that even more people can follow us!] (11 days ago)
[Writer’s review: I don’t know how you were today. I tried my best… But writing is not easy…] (7 days ago)
[Author’s review: It seems that the comments of support from everyone give me strength. I’m lacking in writing… But if you enjoyed reading it, please recommend and comment…! (Bowing emoticon)] (4 days ago)
[Author’s review: I’m a bit busy these days… The serialization cycle seems to be a little unstable.] (2 days ago)
Do-gyun, who saw the gruesome traces, felt a sadness as if his stomach was bursting.
Residual heat that hadn’t gone away signaled that this writing hadn’t been dead for a while.
‘Like that…’
He tried his best to live like that, but in the end, he felt so sorry for the small and tender child who died heroically without forgetting his empty seat, and his tears welled up.
‘Sorry…’
I’m sorry I couldn’t see you.
‘Sorry…’
Sorry for not commenting.
‘Sorry…’
I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you.
“Sorry…”
He tried to apologize aloud, but no more words came out as he choked on the grief that crushed his heart.
Heart-thumping pain.
‘This is all…’
Go Eun-chae.
It was because of that year.
The sadness that had been oppressing me started to burn with heat.
‘Even if that bitch didn’t encourage Eun-ah.’
The heat that started to burn gradually spread throughout the body and increased in size.
‘Even if I wasn’t greedy.’
The flames engulfed the whole body, but it seemed that it was not enough.
‘No, even if I wasn’t born!’
The name of this fire that burns the whole body was Hate.
‘I will never, never forgive you…!’
Aww
The moment I clench my teeth in anger, I felt someone from behind.
“What are you doing?”
When Do-gyun, engulfed in the flames of hatred, looked back with a quick movement, there was Eun-seol looking at him with an expression that was tinged with trembling somewhere.
Do-gyun, who was looking at her, welcomed her, spilling out her unresolved emotions.
“I was determined.”
“…Yes.”
The way you avert your eyes. Do-gyun, who was looking at him, opened his mouth and asked a question.
“Are you done?”
“Eolchu.”
Saying that, she sat across from Do-gyun and opened her mouth as she leaned against her backrest.
“What about tidying up?”
“I’m almost finished too.”
Yes. It was a time when I finished organizing and made up my mind.
As I looked at her, letting go of her mind, I saw wrinkles forming on her face again.
I was making eye contact for a while. Soon, she slowly looked away and continued her words.
“…Check your account.”
“Yeah?”
“Check it out.”
Do-gyun opened the bank app and checked his account for a while to raise questions about the words handed over.
“…Uh?”
Weird.
Obviously, it’s definitely your account. The number of digits on the stamped money was strange.
‘One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand…’
All the way up to billions.
He had 500 million dollars in his account.
I stared across from her blankly with her mouth open, and she, who had been staring at me until then, opened her mouth.
“It’s an advance payment.”
“Yeah?”
“5 billion. That advance.”
“Ah.”
It was only then that I understood this amount from the explanation I heard.
At the time I heard the offer, I didn’t feel it realistically because it was such a large amount, but after receiving a part of it myself, I definitely started to feel it.
If you remove the goeunchae, you get 10 times this amount.
Gulp.
Saliva trickled down the back of his throat.
“How is it, will your doubts be resolved?”
When I looked up at her words, which were conveyed in her relaxed tone, I saw her looking at me with a grin on her face.
“Yes, yes…”
He gave the answer with a blank face like an idiot and looked at the account again. At that moment, a flash occurred in his head.
“I’m going to go to the bathroom for a while.”
Do-gyun, who raised her body at the flash of light that passed through her head, returned to her trembling expression before she knew it, passed her looking at me, and hurriedly ran to her bathroom and activated her novel app.
‘If it’s this…!’
With this money, I didn’t know if it would be possible.
I deposited the money into the sub-account of the novel site with a movement that shows impatience.
Immediately after, Do-gyun, who confirmed that the coin was charged, quickly turned over the page and entered the main page of the novel he had been reading until just before, and pressed the [Support] Button that was floating in the corner.
In the small blank column that appeared afterwards, Do-gyun wrote down the number 10000 in the space and sent the donation by pressing the confirm button without hesitation.
‘If it’s the power of a necromancer…!’
Necromancer.
It was the name of the title given when the sponsorship for the novel reached 10,000 coins, that is, when the cumulative donation reached 1 million won.
With this power, it would be possible to bring back a small child who had just died.
Tension rose. After a short loading time, Do-kyun saw a pop-up saying that the sponsorship was complete, and prayed to the sky with his eyes tightly closed.
‘Please… Save my child…!’
What prayer was embracing was an earnest desire.

When I got out of her bathroom and checked her direction, I saw her sipping her coffee and looking out the window.
I didn’t know that she was always close to her, but seeing her from such a distance, it struck me that she was definitely the only human living in a different world.
‘It’s just a matter of probabilities coming out.’
Glancing around her, it caught her eye that some people in her cafe were glancing at her.
She doesn’t seem to care about herself at all, but her appearance combined with her unique atmosphere was a good shape to attract attention.
Certainly, as I thought when I saw Eun-ah on the first day she was kidnapped, that face was a cheat key.
Do-gyun stared at him for a moment, then brushed off her thoughts and moved her steps to her place and spoke to her.
“Sorry. I’m in a hurry to see you.”
Her gaze from looking out of her window moved to me, and while looking at me with an expression of trembling for a moment, she opened her mouth and spat out a word.
“…Don’t let Go Eun-ah know.”
Flinch.
I seem to have noticed
Do-gyun, who shuddered for a moment at the sharply pointed words, gave an answer with a shy face.
“I did well not to get caught.”
I deliberately sponsored it with a sub-account for nunting, so there is nothing to be found out.
As she said that and looked at her, she sipped her coffee and opened her mouth again.
“Okay, let’s finish this and go eat.”
“What do you do after eating?”
“Movie.”
When I looked at her with a moment of puzzlement at her answer, she nonchalantly added her explanation.
“The thing I wanted to see was opened.”
“Ah yes.”
Do-gyun answered briefly and stared at the coffee she was holding in her hand.
A drink with turquoise grains visible here and there.
‘Even mint chocolate?’
Mincho in Jinsun. She was a very varied woman.
*
I wondered if it was because of her taste, which I had seen until just before, that she might choose something strange to eat, but luckily, she went into a handmade burger shop in the building next to her cafe.
Even though there were quite a lot of menus, she seemed to have been there once or twice before ordering with a familiar attitude.
Afterwards, she arrived at the cinema after a quick bite to eat, and after entering the theater, Do-gyun realized what the film she wanted to see was only when it started.
Beyond the big screen, a ghost popped out from the dark landscape.
“Khehehe!!”
Do-gyun, who would be afraid of horror movies, screamed in surprise at the sudden appearance of her ghost.
I was startled and grabbed her arm, and I heard a small voice with a trembling sound.
“Don’t stick around because I’m angry.”
Her menacing tone, as I looked up at her, I saw her looking down at me, her face so grimace that it was clearly distinguishable even in her darkness.
It was unfair. It was so unfair.
‘Fuck horror movies!’
Where are the horror movies that are released in the middle of winter?
According to common sense, horror movies are released in the summer, right?
If I had known it was a movie like this, I would have been angry and rejected it. I’d rather stay alone in a cafe and read at least one more novel.
Tears were about to come out. Even if I close my eyes or cover my ears, the screams of ghosts echoing throughout the cinema shook me.
I tried to hold on to her arm because I had nowhere to lean on, but as soon as I grabbed her arm, I got so angry that I had nowhere to lean on.
‘Please, please end quickly…!’
Feeling desperate, Do-gyun just closed his eyes and plugged his ears, earnestly praying that this moment would pass.
He didn’t have the confidence to face that screen at all.
Doo Woo-.
How long had I been doing that, when I quietly opened my eyes to the sound of calm music burrowing into my ears, I saw the ending credits playing on the screen.
“Shut up, are you done?”
When Do-kyun said that in a trembling voice, I heard his tongue click and reply.
“Tsk, it’s over.”
When I lifted her head and looked at her, I saw her face staring at me with a pitiful look.
Little by little, the accident returned, and only then did Do-gyun clear his throat, recalling the ugliness until just before that, and she scolded him in a mumbled tone.
“Kuhm…”
“Stupid bastard.”
The horse becomes a dagger and digs into his chest.
I tried to protest, but it was an ugly situation to add more words because of the attitude I showed right up until the moment.
“That…”
“Say no more. Because it gets ugly.”
“Yep…”
I was sorry.
Although he was a shining self in the 1181st Marine Corps, he could hardly catch a ghost.
After putting her head down on the floor in a moment of embarrassment, Do-kyun saw her get up and leave the cinema, so Do-gyun hurriedly got her up and followed him.
She caught up with her as she left without a word. Standing next to her, her Do-gyun looked down at her and brought up her question.
“Where are we going now?”
“To buy a present.”
Short answer.
Then, an explanation was added.
“Go Eun-ah.”
“Ah.”
I thought about what it meant for a while, but then I understood what it meant.
To Eun-ah Go, Eun-seol Ko is a completely separate person.
It seemed that she was adjusting to that, as she was perceived as her real sister who lives out of the house and occasionally comes into the house.
‘…Uh?’
Realizing this, Do-gyun suddenly felt a surge of doubt.
‘Doesn’t he hate it?’
I thought she hated her Eun-ah because the attitude she had shown so far was not good.
‘Looking at me buying a present, I don’t think that’s the case again…’
Even if he recognizes that he lives separately, isn’t there a need to buy a gift like this? It was a question that came from thinking.
Watching her walk with her gaze fixed in front of her, Do-gyun felt her head complicated by her unknown behavior.
‘I really don’t know…’
Really, he was someone I didn’t even know.
