– Volume 5, Episode 6

And then Soo-hyuk leisurely looked around. In fact, he had been so busy that he had not been able to leisurely walk around Seoul much.

I haven’t been to Hongdae many times. When I think about it, the time I spent on the continent of Suhyeok-in was several decades. The physical age of this Earth isn’t that different, but hasn’t my mind already aged several decades?

‘But I’m still living a young life.’

In fact, Suhyuk was quite young-minded. At least, he had never heard anyone say that he looked like an old man.

Still, I had a sneaking thought that he looked a bit like an old man.

It’s still like that now.

‘It’s good to be young.’

He looked at the young college students and felt envious.

It may be natural for Soo-hyuk, who is 27 years old, or rather, 28 years old after spending the end of the year busy with Baekmu Department work, but if you look closely, he is also young.

‘Come to think of it, Christmas just passed me by. I used to celebrate it without fail somehow.’

A day where you can enjoy playing legally, at least that’s what Christmas felt like in Soo-hyuk’s past perception.

It was actually a day when many people were happy.

‘I guess it has some meaning, and the most important thing is that it’s a red day. At the time, just not having to go to school was good.’

If you think about it, Suhyuk also went to college. Of course, he went to the military, and after he was discharged, he got caught up in Portal Impact and his mind went to the Hwan Continent.

‘If I think about it, I’m probably a returning student right now.’

Before Portal Impact, military service was a big issue for college students.

And Su-hyeok, who was a full-time student, was clearly a returning student.

‘Huh? I might be able to go back to school?’

Now, I might be treated as an older brother, but I could go back to college. But what would I do if I went? College, both in the past and now, has always been seen as a place to go to get a job.

For Soo-hyuk, who has already become the strongest player in Korea as an unnamed person, and maybe even the strongest player on Earth, why would he bother going to college to learn anything?

However, it was not that Soo-hyuk wanted to become a university professor, and he was not a scholar who liked to study, so he was of no use to anyone.

Going to college to enjoy the youth of the college campus was something that had no meaning to Soo-hyuk at this point, so it was meaningless.

‘Okay. What about returning to school? Besides, I didn’t study when I was in college. Ugh, I was the spine breaker for my parents.’

Soo-hyuk clicked his tongue. And he was left alone, lamenting and feeling sad about his youth that had passed him by so easily.

No matter how much I think about it, Soo-hyuk was so immature before heading to the Hwan Continent.

‘Well, I’m okay. I’m a cold city man. But I’m warm to my pet(?).’

If anyone knew what was going on in Soo-hyuk’s mind, they couldn’t even guess what would happen.

That was when.

“Huh? Isn’t that Soo-hyuk?”

Suhyuk turned his head at the voice that recognized him.

‘Huh? Who is it?’

Since the Awakened’s activities were conducted under anonymity, only a very small number of people could recognize them.

Of course, there was the Hongdae child rescue incident, so someone might remember, but there was no way they would even call out his name.

But the voice he heard for the first time was definitely calling his name.

Suhyuk turned his head and looked at the person who recognized him.

‘He looks familiar, but… … : Soo-hyuk frowned slightly as he looked at the man whose face he remembered, but whose name he couldn’t remember. He couldn’t quite remember.

Actually, it would be stranger to remember. After spending decades on the Hwan Continent. But Soo-hyuk’s body was this one.

In addition, it was strengthened by the influence of the system and evolved by the influence of martial arts. That’s why the memories were restored.

‘Ah! This guy!’

Kim Byeong-woo. A classmate of Soo-hyuk’s when he was in college. He was the same age as Soo-hyuk.

“Why is Soo-hyuk here? The dog is still in the hospital……

And the man next to Kim Byung-woo stopped talking about Soo-hyuk. Soo-hyuk also remembered the man’s face.

‘Park Sang-je?’

Park Sang-jae.

This guy is also a classmate from the same department at university. And looking around, there were people I could say I was close with in college.

I remember the three men: Kim Byeong-woo, Park Sang-jae, and Shin Im-cheol.

I also remembered the two women next to him.

‘Park Ji-young, Yoo Ji-min!’

The three men were friends who had hung out together in college, but the women next to them, although they were in the same department, were not that close.

But since we were in the same class, we knew each other’s faces. We even worked on team projects together.

‘Oh, no, wait a minute. Although Yu Ji-min and Park Ji-young were definitely close to being distant characters, Yu Ji-min was different.

It was such a long time ago that my memories were a bit hazy, but she was definitely Soo-hyuk’s ex-lover.

‘In real time terms, it’s been over 30 years… … ?’

Anyway, she dated Soo-hyuk when he was in college, but they broke up in the middle.

The somewhat blurry memory began to be completed as the pieces were put together.

‘Wow, Seoul is really narrow.’

In fact, they were people I didn’t even remember until now. The Continent of Hwan had never even paid attention to them.

These are just old relationships that have passed by.

Besides, wasn’t Soo-hyuk so sentimental right now that he was thinking about the old days and even making jokes to himself?

It wasn’t a very welcome meeting.

“Really, Soo-hyuk oppa… yes?”

Park Ji-young and Yoo Ji-min were both one year younger than each other, so they called Soo-hyuk and others “oppa.” Park Ji-young was especially cute, so she often asked other people to give her food.

It wasn’t because she didn’t have any money, but because men were desperately trying to buy her things. In reality, Park Ji-young was a very cute and pretty woman.

Yu Ji-min was a slender beauty with a somewhat haughty impression.

In fact, these two were quite popular beauties not only in their department, but also throughout the entire university.

‘These guys. Are they still hanging out together?’

On Earth, it had been five years since Soo-hyuk had fallen asleep and been hospitalized. The women would have graduated before the men, and the men would have just graduated now.

For men, the military is in the middle.

In other words, the men are now freshmen in society, and the women, if they got good jobs, are probably office workers now. But why are they all gathered like this during lunch time?

‘Well, it’s Saturday today… … If it’s a company that operates a 5-day workweek, then it’s possible that this could happen. Then, maybe I got hired at a big company?’

Come to think of it, I don’t know about the guy, but I remember the two girls having similar personalities and being good at studying.

This was especially true for Yu Ji-min. She also received a scholarship. In fact, that was also the reason why they broke up.

The beginning of our first love was because we were fascinated by each other’s good looks and pretty appearance.

The problem is that Yujimin was as quick-witted as he was intelligent.

In fact, even before Su-hyeok collapsed, his family’s circumstances were not so good. He even went to the military during that time. Yoo Ji-min, who was quick to calculate, had an affair with a famous rich kid from another school instead of Su-hyeok. Su-hyeok heard about this in the military and called her in a panic, but the result was an extremely indifferent notice of breakup.

‘Oh, I remember. I remember. I was so upset at the time.’

And since they had a huge fight and broke up, it turns out that their relationship wasn’t all that good.

Of course, now it’s become such a trivial thing that I can just forget about it and move on.

No, ever since I fell into the Hwan Continent, I had no time to think about luxurious feelings like love.

I was dropped into a world where it wouldn’t be strange if I suddenly died in a few hours, or even in a minute, if I didn’t move right away.

Love’s scars? Pain?

There was no time to think about such things.

Even that incident had already happened decades ago to Soo-hyuk. Even if his body remembered it, his emotions had already disappeared without a trace.

Soo-hyuk looked at Yoo Ji-min, who was somewhat flustered, but he also looked at his old school classmates blankly as if nothing was wrong. First of all, the three men were wearing stylish suits. They seemed to be doing well. The women were also dressed up nicely and beautifully.

Park Ji-young looked like a sophisticated career woman in a shirt and a women’s suit skirt, while Yoo Ji-min exuded a soft beauty in a modern one-piece dress.

Since they are both beautiful, their clothes really stood out.

‘But still, better than Nefeliano… … .

No, but he’s neither a man nor a woman, so he’s out of the question.’

That was when Soo-hyuk thought like that.

“Hey… aren’t you Yang Su-hyeok?”

Park Sang-jae approached him cautiously. Su-hyeok opened his mouth because he felt it would be strange to say no.

“It’s me, Su-hyeok, Sang-je. I’m sorry.

“I couldn’t hear you because I was thinking about something else for a moment.”

Suhyuk’s answer was very natural.

“Heul, are you really Su-hyeok? When did you come to your senses?”

Park Sang-jae looked surprised, as if he knew some information about Su-hyeok.

“When I went there a year ago, he was still unconscious……

“What? You were at the hospital?”

“But aren’t we friends? I’ve been busy lately, so I haven’t been able to go to the hospital. You little brat, are you okay? If you woke up, you should have contacted me.”

Park Sang-je was whining. But if what Park Sang-je said was true, it was a heartbreaking experience. Even though it was a year ago, didn’t you come to see him when he was still in a vegetative state?

It was nothing special, but Suhyuk felt a brief moment of joy. However, the others had a strange expression on their faces, so it seemed like they had never been to a hospital before.

Well, I guess that’s what fate is all about.

Soo-hyuk wasn’t disappointed in them. He had never been interested in them in the first place. Instead, he felt sorry for Park Sang-jae.

But since you said that you saw Park Sang-jae’s face at least during the time you were in a vegetative state, don’t you feel like it was your fault for completely forgetting about him?

“Uh… sorry. I had no idea. If I had known, I would have contacted you. To be honest, I was out of my mind after waking up.”

Suhyeok’s words were true. If you include the time of my previous life, there was a mental blank period of several decades, so honestly, it was impossible to remember Park Sangje. Now that I think about it, I remember Suah saying that she had a friend who would come to visit her occasionally. The concept of a ‘friend’ on Earth had become so vague that I had forgotten it to the point where I couldn’t even hear it.

“First of all, my body is fine. I’m completely healed.

“Technology is good these days.”

“Really? That’s good. Let’s go together instead. It’s our regular meeting day anyway.”

“Regular meetings?”

“Oh. We’re the most successful in our department. We end up meeting up often like we used to.”

“Hey, Sangje.”

At that time, Kim Byeong-woo whispered something to Sang-je.
