Episode 117

The next morning.

Haon slowly opened his eyes.

‘Wow. I’m dizzy.’

As I kept rotating the polyhedron in my head, the corners of the cell also felt like they were spinning.

Then, at some point, I noticed that I couldn’t hear the sound of moth wings flapping.

‘When did you go out? Did you go out to the distribution area? Ah… … .’

Haon, who was looking around, found a moth that had fallen near the door. It had not escaped, but was dead.

Haon covered the moth with tissue paper.

‘You’re small, so you could have crawled back out through the vent.’

The single room became uncomfortably quiet after my short-term roommate disappeared.

Maybe it was because of my mood, but the sound of footsteps echoing in the hallway felt quieter today.

“… … !”

Haon flinched at the sound of footsteps stopping in front of the cell he was in. It was clear that he was going to take me to the break room again today.

The door creaked open and a different guard than yesterday was standing there. It was a female guard.

She took a quick look around the cell and then walked down the hallway with Haon.

‘Even if people change, they still run away from the break room… … .’

As Ha-on was walking around the break room, wondering where to hide first, he suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity and looked around.

‘Huh? Why are you going this way?’

The guard was leading Ha-on in a different direction than yesterday.

‘Aren’t you going to the break room?’

As I thought about it, I suddenly felt anxious.

Just then, Haon hesitated and tried to get away from the guard.

“hey!”

A man’s voice was heard behind me.

Ha-on looked back reflexively and his heart sank. There was a prison guard behind him too.

‘Did they just catch you trying to run away? What should I do?’

I was so flustered that my fingertips were getting colder and colder, and the female prison guard turned around unnaturally.

“Why are you here? I told you I was going to the laundry room. The washing machine repairmen are coming today.”

“I have something to say. Isn’t it time to go to the inmate lounge? That’s not the way to the lounge.”

When a male guard approached her and asked her a question, the female guard answered as if it was nothing.

“This guy’s behavior is really bad, so I’m going to fix his habits.”

Haon looked up at her with a pale complexion.

“How many times do I have to tell you not to treat the inmates rudely? How many times have you been warned?”

Then, she looked at him with a surprised expression at the male prison guard’s words.

Naturally, there seemed to be some guards here who had normal thinking and were not bribed.

“If you said you would quit soon, what am I supposed to do if you keep creating work until the end─”

Phew!

“… … !”

Haon was shocked by what happened in an instant.

A female prison guard hit a male prison guard on the head with a club.

The man fell to the floor, unable to get up, either unconscious or dead.

“Why do you talk so much?”

The woman grabbed Ha-on’s arm, who had turned pale, and dragged him away.

“Follow me quickly.”

“Ugh, uh, where are you taking me?”

Ha-on, who was grabbed by the bruised spot, groaned as he was unable to escape the woman’s grasp.

“Resign, you said you were resigning! Don’t do this to me and end it gracefully!”

“A beautiful ending? Will that feed you?”

The woman snorted as if she found it funny.

“Anyway, when I get out of here, I’ll become a new person. I’ll go to another place and live a good life.”

Haon rolled his eyes busily, trying to find a way to escape, and acted as uncooperative as possible.

Then the woman grabbed Ha-on by the hair and made him walk in front of her.

“Ah! Ah, it hurts!”

“After you, I won’t kill anyone or do anything. I’ll be reborn as a very good person.”

Ha-on, who was on the verge of tears at the feeling of his scalp being roughly pulled, felt a chill in his liver.

Just once, I wished that a guard like the man from before would show up to stop this woman.

But the hallway was empty and there was no way to tell where the woman was going.

Haon said with his eyes tightly shut.

“Oh, doing nothing isn’t good!”

To her surprise, the woman’s feet stopped abruptly.

“……what?”

“That’s just doing nothing.”

“… … .”

“If you want to be a good person, you have to live a good life. From, from now on, ugh!”

Haon’s body was suddenly pushed to the side and fell over. When he looked up, he saw that he had been thrown into a place that looked like a warehouse.

“I’m so angry that I hear that from you, of all people.”

The woman’s face was cold as she took something out of her pocket.

“Why would you want to teach a person? And a prisoner to a prison guard? Do you think that makes sense?”

Haon felt his spine tingle when he found the vial and syringe in the woman’s hand.

It was a drug used to euthanize animals.

‘If it’s a sheep that size… … you plan on killing me here!’

A woman slowly reached out her hand, filling a syringe with medicine.

“I didn’t feel sorry for you, but I just felt it. Why, argh!”

Haon, terrified, bit the woman’s hand hard.

I tried to push the woman away and escape from the warehouse, but I was immediately caught and pinned to the floor. The floor felt rough and cold against my cheek.

“Ugh! Sa, save me! There’s no one here! It’s a fire! It’s a prison break!”

As Ha-on struggled, the woman grabbed his hair and lifted him up as if she was annoyed.

“Ugh… … !”

The needle flashed before my eyes and headed towards the back of my neck.

“You killed a guard on your way to the break room, ran to the confiscated goods storage, and found this drug. You chose death because you were depressed about your situation.”

Haon had a feeling that what the woman was reciting would become his signature.

‘Am I going to die here? Like this? That can’t be happening.’

It really couldn’t be done. There was too much to do.

Ha-on, who was gritting his teeth and struggling to get away from the woman, shut his eyes tightly and screamed.

“Oh, no. Aaaah!”

The moment the tip of the needle touched my skin.

“I came to fix it~”

A cheerful voice was heard from outside the door.

“what……!”

The startled woman hurriedly raised her head.

Phew!

Then he was hit in the jaw with a heavy fist and fell out.

Haon raised his upper body, gasping for breath.

Standing in front of the door were Juyeol and Nova, dressed in maintenance uniforms.

Juyeol put his fist away with an anxious expression, and Nova kicked the fallen woman with his foot and spoke cheerfully again.

“Repair complete~”

Haon, whose tension suddenly broke down at that sight, let out a hissing sound.

“Haon-ah.”

As Juyeol approached with his arms outstretched, a walnut-like wrinkle appeared on Haon’s chin and tears welled up in his eyes.

“Ugh. I was so scared.”

Haon finally got up, shedding tears that he couldn’t hold back, and quickly hid behind Nova, passing Juyeol.

Nova opened her eyes wide and raised her arm to check if it was Haon hiding behind her back.

Then, he smiled broadly and pulled Ha-on into his arms.

“Honey. What is this cute thing?”

“Ugh. Now that I think about it, Juyeol hates it when I cry.”

“… … .”

Juyeol, who had been frozen with his arms outstretched due to the great shock, turned his eyes to the two.

“I don’t hate it. Come here.”

“No. He must really hate it, just like he said. He’s glaring at me as if he’s going to kill me.”

“This kid.”

“Look at that. You’re mad because I said you were crying. I’ll cover it for you.”

“What kind of kid is this… … Eunhaon. Come here so you can cry.”

Ha-on, who had been crying sadly at Ju-yeol’s words, peeked his head out.

“Really, you don’t hate it?”

“I don’t hate it. Rather… … .”

Juyeol almost burst into laughter when he saw Haon crying with her hair all messed up and disheveled from all the hardships she had endured.

Thinking about all the hardships made me angry and sad, but that face was so cute.

“So come here.”

When he opened his arms again, Haon, who had been hesitating, came closer and hugged him.

‘This is a real fever.’

The stability I had been desperately seeking welled up from deep within my heart.

As I buried my tearful face in his wide embrace and sobbed, he wrapped his strong arms around me tightly.

“Ugh.”

“… … !”

When Ha-on groaned softly in pain, Ju-yeol was startled and fell down.

“Are you hurt? Here?”

As soon as Ha-on rolled up the sleeves of his prison uniform, Ju-yeol and Nova’s faces hardened.

“This kid?”

Joo-yeol took out a gun from inside his uniform and aimed for the fallen woman’s arm.

“Oh, no! This is in the break room… … . Stop me… … .”

The more Haon spoke, the more vividly he remembered yesterday’s events and his expression darkened.

Juyeol and Nova exchanged glances after seeing that. It seemed like the two had come to some decision without Haon knowing.

Haon shook his head to shake off the terrible memories and asked the two people belatedly.

“But how on earth did you get in here?”

Then Nova pointed to the maintenance uniform he was wearing.

“I borrowed some clothes. And a lot of things happened.”

“The problem now is getting out of here.”

Joo-yeol looked through the confiscated goods storage room to see if there was anything of use.

The Awakened ones were not only heroes or villains.

There were some awakened people among the guards, and because of them, it was harder to leave this place than to enter.

Haon was afraid that the two of them would end up being imprisoned together while trying to break me out.

‘What else could there be? Since they couldn’t find a proper way outside, they must have come here themselves.’

Then suddenly, I noticed a syringe lying on the floor.

“… …Should I die?”
